Luo Xuan sipped the coffee in his hands and listened to the sirens as they drew closer to them. Finally, he looked at Shui Anluo.
“My name is Luo Xuan,” Luo Xuan murmured softly into her ear.
The piercing sounds of the sirens grew closer and closer like a ghost rising suddenly from the depths of the night.
Shui Anluo turned around. Just as she was growing curious about his name, a police car stopped next to her. Once she turned back again, the man had disappeared.
Shui Anluo straightened up and was not concerned about the policeman who was approaching her. Instead, she looked everywhere. The car was still here but the man had disappeared.
‘Luo Xuan?’
‘Why was it the surname ‘Luo’ again?’
She seemed to recall that her stepfather’s name was Luo Yun. Was there someone else with the Luo surname?
“Miss Shui.”
When Shui Anluo heard the voice, she turned towards the officer who was standing next to her and knew that this person was looking for her.
“Are you looking for me?”
The lead police officer looked to be around forty to fifty years of age and had an amiable look about him.
“That’s right, we need your cooperation with the case, Miss Shui.” The lead officer smiled.
Shui Anluo looked around her again but could not find Luo Xuan at all. She turned to the police officer and said, “Alright.”
“No need to worry, Miss Shui, we just need you to identify an unlicensed cab driver and the ringleader of the kidnapping case from yesterday,” the police officer explained. He then got someone to escort Shui Anluo into the car.
Shui Anluo was surprised. The ringleader of the kidnapping… Was that not Lin Qianchen?
Of course, this was only her assumption and she did not have any evidence at the moment.
Shui Anluo was driven away in the police car. Luo Xuan looked down at his watch and knitted his brows. When he looked up again, the remaining police officer approached him and gave him a white pebble.
“Mister Luo, Director Chu has asked me to pass a message to you. Thank you for what you’ve done yesterday and today but he hopes that you’d distance yourself from Mrs. Chu in the future. After all, Director Chu doesn’t like having other men in close proximity to his wife,” said the officer before he turned around and left with a smile.
Luo Xuan stared at the white pebble between his fingers and smirked. He felt… Used.
Shui Anluo followed the police car to the police station. Generally, only the officers on duty should be at the police station in the middle of the night but at this moment, a row of police officers was lined up at the door.
“Miss Shui, this way please,” The police chief who had escorted her over led her inside.
Shui Anluo stepped in, feeling curious. However, when she walked in, the first person she spotted was not a police officer, the unlicensed taxi driver, or Shui Anjiao. Instead… It was Chu Ningyi.
The man who was supposed to be at the hospital!
At this moment, Chu Ningyi was seated lazily on a stool. His cool side profile looked even colder beneath the light.
Shui Anluo stood at the doorway, momentarily unsure of whether she should step inside or not. Perhaps she had forgotten how to walk because she could not prehend what the man who had dumped her on the side of the road to rush to the hospital was doing here.
A clear breeze blew and caused the leaves to make a fluttering sound outside the window. Shui Anluo regained her senses and looked around. In the small police station office, there were employees who were at work, Shui Anjiao who was standing in a corner glaring at her hatefully, and the groaning and wailing pig-headed unlicensed cab driver. At this moment, the cab driver had even more red swellings on his face than when she had last left him. She would not have recognized who the pig-head was it was not for the clothes he was wearing.
