The young policeman looked utterly baffled. "Paper towels?"
"You’ll need them later." Ou Jue’s thin lips opened and closed, his tone utterly certain.
That little fool—after holding it in for so long, once she sees him "locked up" in the police station, she’ll definitely be scared enough to cry.
How could anyone wipe her tears without paper towels?
Although they didn’t understand Young Master Ou’s actions, the others obediently fetched a stack of paper towels and placed them in front of him.
Ou Jue leaned his whole body back against the chair. Even just sitting there, his aura was overwhelming.
Everyone stared intently at the police station’s entrance.
So even hid by the guesthouse entrance, waiting to escort Xiyan safely all the way here the mont she bolted out of the guesthouse.
Everything was set—all that was needed now was the final push.
Ou Jue sipped his water with a detached expression, still calm and composed as ever.
After all, now that Xia Xiyan had been found, everything was once again under his control.
-
Inside the guesthouse.
Xiyan borrowed the guesthouse owner’s phone.
Who should she call...
Aside from Ou Jue’s number, the only other one she rembered was An Ran’s.
Xiyan dialed An Ran directly.
"Ahhh, Xiyan, you finally called! You had worried sick."
Wrapped in a coat, with its hood pulled up, Xiyan stood in the guesthouse lobby. "Relax, I’m fine now."
"Uh..." An Ran hesitated, unsure how to begin, because her brother had ntioned that Ou Jue had already found Xiyan.
But did the two of them make up?
Judging by Xiyan’s tone, she seed surprisingly relaxed...
An Ran asked, "When are you coming back?"
"Hmm, it’s not that I don’t want to go back." Xiyan twirled a lock of her hair. "I didn’t co here solely out of spite. I’m actually working—there’s an ad shoot tomorrow that needs shots from here... Once I finish the shoot, it’ll probably take at least a week or so."
Learning that Xiyan stayed because of work, An Ran finally breathed a sigh of relief.
"I don’t have my phone or anyone else’s numbers. Can you explain things to Ruge and the elders for ? Let them know not to worry about ."
"Got it, got it."

The next morning, dawn.
Xiyan was woken up by her manager, Mu Zeyu, banging on her door. It was barely 7 a.m.
But they had to hurry to the shoot location, with makeup and styling still to do...
Ti was running a bit tight.
Still half-asleep, Xiyan climbed into the car behind Mu Zeyu.
In reality, the shoot location was very close to the guesthouse and within walking distance, but as a public figure, things were inevitably inconvenient.
Driving the car, Mu Zeyu had a look of disbelief on his face. "So? Ou Jue just let the police take him away like that?"
Xiyan yawned. "Yep."
"And you’re not worried? You actually had the nerve to sleep? And so soundly? I knocked on your door for nearly ten minutes before you even woke up!"
Xiyan pouted. "Give a break. That’s Ou Jue we’re talking about."
With Ou Jue’s abilities, how could he possibly be detained by the police for real?
But ever since Ou Jue was taken away by the police, he hadn’t returned.
Damn it, that guy’s gone back, hasn’t he?
Just thinking about how overbearing he was last night made the anger in Xiyan, which had barely settled, flare up again.
He’s the one who ignored , the one who didn’t trust .
That’s why she got mad and left in the first place.
But that guy—completely oblivious—found her and then ordered her to go back in such a high-handed tone.
