Chapter 48: Chapter 48: Lu, is this your girlfriend?
Editor: Atlas Studios
Because Wen Xian had called the police in time, they saw the jurisdictional authorities as soon as they stepped outside.
Upon seeing Lu Xiao, two people immediately got out of the car and quickly came over to inquire about the specific situation inside.
However, Lu Xiao seemed to have something urgent to deal with; he hastily explained a few things and then tried to leave with Wen Xian.
The law enforcement officers listened to Lu Xiao’s words while their gazes unavoidably drifted back and forth between Wen Xian and him.
Looking at Wen Xian, whose stunning beauty could not be hidden even behind sunglasses, their minds were filled with a thousand expletives, as well as deepening suspicions.
This, this woman looks somewhat familiar…!
“Is there anything else!?” Lu Xiao appeared to want to leave quickly.
“Yes!” the other party hurriedly said.
Lu Xiao furrowed his brow.
The next second, the law enforcement officer’s gaze fell on the woman’s hand that Lu Xiao was tightly holding and suddenly, with a meaningful gossipy chuckle, said,
“Captain, this beauty must be your girlfriend, right? Won’t you introduce her?”
At these words, both were momentarily stunned.
Wen Xian looked up at Lu Xiao.
Lu Xiao, however, pulled a face and coldly led her away without saying another word.
Wen Xian, however, did not forget to wave back with a smile as they left.
She acted as if she indeed was his girlfriend.
Even though Lu Xiao was holding her hand to stop the bleeding.
The two reached their vehicle, and Lu Xiao took a silver medical kit from the trunk of his Wrangler.
For them, a medical kit was essential and often used when traveling.
Lu Xiao only then uttered two words.
Wen Xian obediently got into his car, which felt different from hers, immediately giving her a sense of his presence.
Chilly, with a familiar scent of tobacco.
The Wrangler had been sprinting across the West for years; its performance, enhanced by modifications, was not something ordinary cars could compare to.
So, the car matched the man.
Wen Xian sat in the passenger seat, watching Lu Xiao take out the medical kit to treat her wound, her heart could not help but be moved.
Really, sometimes, a little injury doesn’t matter.
“Stretch out your hand.” Lu Xiao said in a deep voice.
His expression was extremely cold, yet serious and meticulous.
Wen Xian obediently stretched out her hand, which was wrapped in a scarf, playing the role of a docile wife.
Wen Xian softly spoke, “Lu Xiao, you said you caught those selling and killing wildlife, what kind of punishment will they face?”
Lu Xiao’s hand, holding the iodine, paused. He seemed not to expect her to ask this.
He moved his lips slightly, “It depends on the specifics. According to our country’s criminal law, typically less than five years of fixed-term imprisonment or criminal detention, and a fine, or in severe cases, ten years or more.”
As he spoke, he stared at her palm, unraveling the bloodstained scarf layer by layer.
Finally, he uncovered a wound as long as a little pinky on her palm—not very deep, but bleeding a lot, the scarf soaked through, a somewhat horrifying sight.
His gaze stayed fixed, his jaw clenched, lips tightly pressed.
Wen Xian, seemingly indifferent to the injury, lightly smiled and said, “This injury is nothing, Captain, don’t worry.”
Unexpectedly, this attitude only made Lu Xiao’s demeanor grow even colder, “Miss Wen is overthinking, there is no need for worry; I would do the same for anyone today.”
Upon hearing this, Wen Xian slightly raised her eyebrows.
Her gaze on Lu Xiao, she bit her lip softly, then suddenly spoke again, “Then… about the girlfriend?”
