Luckily, she was familiar with Yue Nanshan. Running into him here meant she could leave soon.
"What’s going on with you two?" Yue Nanshan, after all, was a captain. His words carried weight in this police station.
The two men stayed silent for a moment before replying, "Mr. Yue, these are instructions from above, we..." ʀᴇᴀᴅ ʟᴀᴛᴇsᴛ ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀs ᴀᴛ NovᴇlFire(.)nᴇt
Instructions from above?
If they were really instructions from above, would Yue Nanshan not know?
Most likely, these subordinates were trying to gain credit. But did they even realize who they had caught?
They dared to arrest Xing Chen’s wife—truly blind!
Feeling annoyed, Yue Nanshan waved his hand, "Alright, you two can leave! Miss Ran will be left to me!"
"But this..." The two men hesitated, clearly unwilling.
Seeing this, Yue Nanshan raised his voice by several degrees, "Didn’t you hear what I said? Do I, as a captain, need to seek your opinions?"
"No, no, we’ll leave right away."
Seeing Yue Nanshan lose his temper, the two men almost ran away with their tails between their legs!
Left alone, Yue Nanshan continued to grumble, "Really out of line!"
Ran Xiangsi was dumbfounded at the scene. Was the issue resolved just like that?
"Thank you... but I have something to do. Can I leave now?" Ran Xiangsi glanced at the time, wondering how anxious Chu Xiaoge must be over her at the school!
Seeing her so anxious, Yue Nanshan felt puzzled, "You’re leaving now? Didn’t you come here with Young Master Xing?"
"No... did he come too?" Ran Xiangsi paused her steps, looking at Yue Nanshan in surprise.
"He arrived a while ago, meeting with Gu Beichuan. I thought you two..." Yue Nanshan had participated in the operation last night, but since Xing Chen was the first to go in and close the door, those outside were unaware of what happened inside.
He had been handling things outside when he got the message that Xing Chen wanted to meet Gu Beichuan, so he rushed back, only to run into Ran Xiangsi.
He thought she had come to confront Gu Beichuan too, but it seemed the couple did not arrive together?
"Is Gu Beichuan here too? Take me to him!" Ran Xiangsi’s expression changed instantly, biting her lip as she glared at Yue Nanshan.
Yue Nanshan was startled, not knowing why Ran Xiangsi’s demeanor changed so quickly...
But he didn’t try to guess her thoughts and nodded, "Follow me."
Ran Xiangsi quickly followed, maneuvering through many rooms until they reached a more secluded room.
Pointing ahead as they walked, Yue Nanshan said, "It’s that room at the end. Young Master Xing just went in. I..."
Before he could finish, Yue Nanshan’s phone rang. Seeing the caller ID, his expression immediately turned fearful, "Director..."
With that, he stepped aside to take the call.
Clearly, there were things that he couldn’t say in front of Ran Xiangsi.
After he left, Ran Xiangsi moved towards the room at the end of the corridor.
There were guards stationed outside the courtyard, making it impossible for the average person to get in.
As Ran Xiangsi approached, she reached out to open the door, but stopped when she heard Gu Beichuan’s weak voice from inside.
"You... you actually came to see me? Xing Chen, where’s your pride?"
Then, Xing Chen’s icy voice followed, "About last night’s incident, I want you to swear that you’ll never utter a word about it for the rest of your life."
