Chapter: 1016

Ma Lian hastily nodded and blurted out: "Police officer, please don't worry. As long as you let me go, I'll definitely follow your instructions and tell my family nothing about this matter, nor will I jeopardize your efforts to catch those cross-border fraudsters!"

The policeman nodded and said calmly: "Alright, we'll discuss it and then have someone send you back to the detention center. If we decide to let you go, the detention center will handle the procedures directly."

Ma Lian hurriedly asked: "Police officer, won't you discuss and ultimately not release me?"

The black-faced policeman slammed his hand on the table and scolded: "This matter needs further discussion! You just be patient and wait for our decision. There's no room for bargaining here!"

As soon as Ma Lian heard this, she didn't dare say another word and had to nod solemnly, tremblingly saying: "So, police officer, I'll go back and wait for the message now?"

"Right!" the black-faced policeman said coldly: "We're going to send a civilian police car to take you back. You must remember that from this door out, not a single word about related matters will be spoken!"

Ma Lian firmly nodded multiple times, assuring him: "You don't need to worry; even if I die, I won't say a word!"

Subsequently, Ma Lian was sent back to the detention center by two civilian police officers.

On her way back, she felt extremely uneasy in her heart.

How could she have thought that this matter would turn out to be like this?

It's a significant issue; it's also impossible for me to seek revenge from that stupid guy Wang.

Otherwise, if I were to say something wrong or slip of the tongue, and the police found out, they might just put me back in detention.

That way, I wouldn't know when I could get out again.

...

Just as Ma Lian was being sent back to the detention center, Shao Changkun was already itching for an opportunity to continue seeing Han Meiying again.

The night before, he had eaten a very delicious homemade meal with Han Meiying at home, and it was even cooked by Han Meiying herself. This lifted his mood greatly.

So, he sent her a WeChat invitation the next morning, inviting her to go with him to their alma mater, Zhongshan University, to take a stroll and find some memories from back in the day.

As soon as she heard that he was inviting her to go around their old school, Han Meiying immediately agreed without hesitation.

The instant Xie Changkun tidied himself up, he didn't even bother with breakfast and was all set to leave in a hurry.

Xiao Chunran saw him looking so well-groomed that she immediately asked, "Dad, where are you going at this early hour?"

Xie Changkun smiled cheerfully and said, "I'm meeting Han Meiyin, and we're going to take a stroll around our alma mater. She hasn't been back in over 20 years, after all!"

Xiao Chunran's expression changed immediately upon hearing this. Her face turned red with anger as she asked, "Mother has been missing for almost two days and nights, and there's still no news. How can you just go off to have fun with Han Meiyin without even thinking about looking for Mother?"

Xie Changkun chuckled knowingly and said, "Hey, hey... don't worry about this kind of thing, okay? It's not up to you or Leichen to handle. You two are young, and I'm just an old man who can wait patiently for good news."

Xiao Chunran was furious and said, "Dad, if you keep going on like this, I'll really get angry! How can you be so out of touch with what's important? Mother's safety is more important to me than accompanying Han Meiyin around our alma mater!"

Xie Changkun knew he was in the wrong, and so he hastily waved his hand and said, "Oh, time's running out. I won't talk about this anymore. Wait until later, then we'll chat. See you!" JrNovels.com
