Chapter 30: Just Enough for a Mahjong Table!
“Perfect. I want to bail Lin Tai out. My lawyer will definitely arrive before Xia Shihan’s! I’m the guarantor, Xiao Yuxuan!” Xiao Yuxuan said with a slight smile curling her lips.
“Uh … alright.” The two officers were dumbfounded. Wasn’t Lin Tai supposed to be a complete wastrel? Why was this beauty here to bail him out too?
“Ms. Xiao, please head to the lounge and wait for your lawyer.”
“Alright.” Xiao Yuxuan nodded and walked toward the lounge.
“Wait, did she say her name was Xiao Yuxuan?” After she left, the two officers suddenly realized.
“You mean the Xiao Yuxuan, the eldest daughter of the Xiao family, one of the top ten families?” Their eyes were filled with shock.
Who was Xiao Yuxuan? Her background was no less impressive than Xia Shihan’s. The Xiao family controlled the local underworld forces in China, and Xiao Yuxuan was the infamous underworld princess.
“Didn’t they say Xiao Yuxuan despised Lin Tai? Why is she here to bail him out?” The two officers were now thoroughly confused. The rumors they’d heard seemed completely at odds with reality!
Could it be that Lin Tai wasn’t a wastrel after all? Or did the young ladies of today just have a thing for wastrel lapdogs like Lin Tai?
They couldn’t wrap their heads around it!
“Someone’s here again!” Before the officers could process this, another luxury car pulled up at the station’s entrance—a green Porsche Cayenne.
“Another … another … beauty!” The officers were at a loss for words to describe their feelings.
Deep down, they had a sneaking suspicion that this literary, elegant beauty might also be here to bail out Lin Tai!
“Ma’am, are you here to bail someone out?” one officer blurted out subconsciously.
“How did you know?” Lu Ziyan was a bit surprised.
The two officers exchanged a glance, already resigned to the situation.
“You’re here to bail out Lin Tai, right?” The third one. Their moods were beyond gloomy.
A wastrel like Lin Tai had so many beauties coming to bail him out.
And them? Still single dogs.
“Yes.” Lu Ziyan was even more surprised. My goodness, were today’s police officers psychic? They’d guessed her purpose perfectly.
“Well, there are two others inside also here to bail him out. Their lawyers haven’t arrived yet, so please take a rest in the lounge.”
“May we have your name, ma’am?”
“There are already people bailing out Lin Tai?” Lu Ziyan suddenly understood. Of course, someone else had come before her.
Thinking about it, it made sense. Lin Zhentian was Lin Tai’s father, so it was only natural for him to come bail out his son.
“My name is Lu Ziyan, and I’m willing to be Lin Tai’s guarantor,” Lu Ziyan said, giving her name before heading to the lounge.
“Lu Ziyan … isn’t that the eldest daughter of the Lu family …?”
“Why aren’t you shocked anymore?” Both officers’ tones were calm.
“I’m completely numb. Shocked, my foot.”
“The lounge must be lively now. Three drop-dead gorgeous beauties. One more, and they could play a round of mahjong.” Thinking about how all three were here to bail out Lin Tai, they were filled with envy, jealousy, and resentment.
“You don’t think someone else will show up to bail him out, do you? Just enough for a mahjong table?”
“Maybe it’s actually possible.”
“What are you two talking about?” As they were chatting, a cold, clear voice interrupted.
“Captain Su!” The two hurriedly stood and saluted.
“Don’t gossip while on duty,” Su Yanfei reminded them softly.
“By the way, make a note. I’m bailing someone out,” Su Yanfei continued.
“…” Hearing this, the two officers gave a wry smile. They already had a feeling.
“You’re not bailing out Lin Tai, are you?”
“You … someone else came to bail him out already?” Su Yanfei could tell from their expressions what was going on.
“Yeah, not just one person. Three came in a row: Xia Shihan, the eldest daughter of the Xia family; Xiao Yuxuan, the eldest daughter of the Xiao family; and Lu Ziyan, the eldest daughter of the Lu family…”
Plus you, that’s exactly enough for a mahjong table… the two officers thought to themselves.
They didn’t dare say it out loud unless they wanted to go home and fend for themselves.
“Why are they here?” Su Yanfei couldn’t make sense of it. In her previous life, though she hadn’t followed up on the case, she knew Lin Tai had stayed in the detention center for seven days. No one had come to bail him out. Why were people showing up this time? And three of them at that!
No, with her included, it was four.
“How long have they been here?”
“They just arrived.” If they hadn’t come at slightly different times, the officers would’ve thought the three had teamed up to bail him out.
“I’m heading over. Make a note of it.” Su Yanfei was preoccupied. Selfishly, she definitely didn’t want to see these three women bailing out Lin Tai.
Especially Xia Shihan—that woman was the most dangerous. She had a natural advantage: Lin Tai liked her!
“This is getting interesting,” Zhang Jianyi said, standing behind her, his heart filled with surprise.
He knew Xia Shihan, Xiao Yuxuan, and Lu Ziyan—each a prodigy from one of the top ten families. He hadn’t expected them all to be interested in Lin Tai.
It made Zhang Jianyi wonder what kind of charm Lin Tai had to be so popular.
Even Su Yanfei seemed to have a favorable impression of him.
For a moment, Zhang Jianyi couldn’t help but want to meet this so-called “wastrel of the capital” himself.
