Bo Tingshen’s gaze bore into her with urgency.
Ye Xian shook her head.
The strong yet warm hand resting on her shoulder finally relaxed slightly.
Two police officers just happened to walk out.
"Hello, may I ask who this gentleman is here to bail out?"
Ye Xian glanced at Housekeeper Liu standing beside Jiang Wanze, then at Bo Tingshen, and a spark of inspiration struck. Before he could speak, she hugged his arm and pretended to be very close, "This man is my big brother!"
Police officer: "Big brother? Real brother?"
Ye Xian: "No, I’m his little brother!"
Police officer: "..." Brother, little brother, what’s this about! Mafia or what!
In the end, Bo Tingshen took out his ID and, as a boss, bailed out Ye Xian.
"This is Ye Xian’s statement. Just sign at the bottom."
The police officer passed the record book to Bo Tingshen. Bo Tingshen glanced briefly over the record of the events, his expression changing somewhat; the anxious heat in his eyes slowly dissipated, leaving only a coldness behind.
Ye Xian felt the cool gaze of the man above her and felt a pang of fear in her heart.
CEO, just think of me as a good employee and bail me out this once. After all, someone has already bailed out your brother, so it’s no trouble.
After completing the procedures, the man nonchalantly took the cheerful youth and left the Yanliu Mountain District police station.
Uncle Liu: "Second Young Master, let’s go back too."
Jiang Wanze stood fixed in place, blankly watching Bo Tingshen, who from the moment he arrived to the moment he left, never gave him a glance, his attention entirely on Ye Xian. Jiang Wanze didn’t know what expression he should wear.
Warn him not to get close to Ye Xian, yet he himself was closer than anyone else...
Outside the police station, Ye Xian took off her mask and finally relaxed, breathing in some fresh air, "CEO, you really came at just the right time. Thank goodness I came out at night. If I were released tomorrow morning and the media saw me, who knows what kind of news they would write!"
As she expressed her relief, she turned around and saw the tall and upright man gazing at her with an intense look... and he seemed a bit unhappy.
Ye Xian scratched her head, "Ah... Thanks a lot for earlier, CEO. I know you came for Jiang Wanze, but since he already had someone to pick him up and my own family hadn’t arrived, I just... borrowed you for a bit. Thanks a lot... no, sorry about that. I’ll leave now so I won’t cause you any more trouble. You go find Jiang Wanze!"
After speaking, she turned to run away, but once again, fate caught her by the collar as the man grabbed hold.
Ye Xian: "..." Why does the CEO’s trick always work and yet when she tried it on Zou Gang it failed?
"I’m sorry, CEO. I was wrong. Please let me go!"
Bo Tingshen pulled open the car door and stuffed her inside.
The CEO wasn’t going to hit her, was he? Was the police station entrance not convenient enough that he had to get her into the car for that?
Just as she was about to get in, Bo Tingshen entered as well.
Bo Tingshen: "Drive."
Along the way, the neon lights twinkled and car horns sounded — the nightlife of Imperial Capital was especially lively, but the atmosphere inside the car was as silent as the grave.
By the window, the man’s sharp and handsome features, illuminated intermittently by the streetlights’ reflections, exuded a hint of chilliness. His lips were tightly pursed, as if harboring an emotion that was brewing but yet to erupt.
Witnessing this made Ye Xian’s heart pound. CEO... what exactly do you mean by this?
