Return to the Day When My Pregnant Wife Jumped Off the Building-Chapter 405 You Deceived Me_1

As long as he successfully planted a seed of fear in the hearts of the three old men—Hao, Wu, and Chang—they would take the initiative to consolidate the high-quality industrial shares and hand them over to trusted nieces and nephews who would not implicate the family.

Xiao Ming could figure out with his heels who among their nieces and nephews would be chosen, and with the promise of a sweet deal, along with some cash, the cream of the three families’ industries would be his.

As for the rest, they were nothing but chicken ribs—worthless. Let others fight over them.

You eat meat, you can’t deprive others of even a sip of soup.

Monopolizing is a major taboo in the business world.

Suddenly, with a loud bang, the door was forcefully kicked open, creating a commotion bigger than Sophie’s entrance.

Xiao Ming had expected the special police to burst in first, but the first one to step into his sight was Ding Jianwei, followed by the grimacing Jiang Yang, and then the police officers.

"Police! Everyone, hands on your heads and squat down!"

Ding Jianwei’s face was frosted over as she barked the command sharply.

Xiao Ming approached with a cheery smile, "Officer..."

"Are you deaf? Hands on your head, squat down!"

Great, the woman was still fuming, so it was best to play the good boy now.

Xiao Ming obediently held his head and squatted down, and then Ding Jianwei took out handcuffs and cuffed him.

"This... Is this really necessary?" he asked cautiously.

Ding Jianwei completely ignored him.

Seeing An Kefang also getting handcuffed, the frightened girl had a face full of terror, so he could only say again, "That’s too much, Miss An is the victim, you know that..."

"This is standard procedure!" Ding Jianwei interrupted him coldly, "Just because you don’t follow the rules doesn’t mean they don’t exist."

Xiao Ming had no response and could only lean over to An Kefang and whisper, "Don’t be scared, she’s just jealous. She won’t really make things difficult for you."

Surprised, An Kefang’s eyes widened, "Jealous? You guys..."

"Hehe!" Xiao Ming grinned shamelessly, "Impressive, right? Let me tell you, my taste is lofty, only the best will do!"

Ding Jianwei kicked him in the butt, "Stay put, no whispering!"

Xiao Ming immediately bowed his head and squatted obediently, looking shamed like those unlucky souls on the news caught in a vice raid.

An Kefang looked at Ding Jianwei, imposing and with a powerful aura, and believed Xiao Ming hadn’t lied.

With a daily life as dangerous as his, he should have an official backer.

Only a woman as outstanding as she was deserved to stand beside someone equally excellent.

But why did her chest feel a little pained?

Sitting in the police car on the way to the station, Xiao Ming was taken into an interrogation room and cuffed to a metal chair with a partition.

Standard suspect treatment.

For this, he could only respond with a bitter smile, and nothing else.

Soon after, the door opened, and Ding Jianwei came in with Jiang Yang, taking a seat at the interrogation table across from him.

Jiang Yang’s face was full of apologies as if to say he had no choice; he had been forced.

"Name?" Ding Jianwei’s expression was very serious.

Xiao Ming curled his lips, "Wouldn’t it be better if you turn off the cameras and just beat me up? I promise not to complain."

Bang!

Ding Jianwei slapped the table, "Name!"

"Xiao Ming."

"Gender?"

"Should be male."

Bang!

"Behave!"

Xiao Ming winced, "Don’t hit so hard, even if it doesn’t hurt your hand, what did the table ever do to you?"

"Xiao! Ming!"

Ding Jianwei began grinding her teeth, and Jiang Yang quickly shrank back, as if she would explode at any second in an indiscriminate attack.

"Well," Xiao Ming lifted his handcuffed hands, "If you want me to cooperate nicely, just answer one question for me first."

"Speak!" freewebnøvel.coɱ

"Are you still coming to my place to spend the night tonight?"

Ding Jianwei immediately stiffened, her expression fluctuating between embarrassment, annoyance, and anger.

Seeing this, Jiang Yang quickly fabricated an excuse, clutching his stomach in feigned agony, "Master, my stomach suddenly hurts, I can’t stand it. Please don’t rush, I’ll call Xiao Li to take my place."

Without waiting for Ding Jianwei’s approval, he bolted for the door, even managing to turn off the camera along the way.

As the door closed, the interrogation room fell silent, with Ding Jianwei’s gaze fixed unwaveringly on Xiao Ming’s face.

Xiao Ming sighed, "Some of my actions do seem to be out of pity, but you should be able to feel that my feelings for you are definitely not just that."

"You dare talk about feelings?"

"Uh..."

Xiao Ming scratched his head, the chains and the metal chair scraping together with a clattering sound.

"So what should I say? It can’t be an affair since nothing happened yet."

"You lied to me!"

"When? I don’t remember that."

"This morning!" Ding Jianwei ground her teeth again, "You made the whole incident sound like an inexperienced newbie in the workplace causing a series of bad results, and then you took advantage of the situation.

But the truth is?"

Xiao Ming’s expression turned sheepish, "The truth... the truth is pretty much the same, Jiang Nanxi is just a newbie with no experience and too full of himself..."

Ding Jianwei got up to leave.

"Alright, alright, I admit I didn’t tell you the whole truth, but at most it was just a little persuasion, surely you can’t call that lying, right?"

Ding Jianwei rushed up to Xiao Ming like a whirlwind and yelled, "Do you have any clue how worried I was when I got the message from Qingfeng?

Scumbag, I’m your superior officer; how dare you hide things from me? Believe it or not, I will really throw you into jail?"

"If there’s a double bed in the jail," Xiao Ming beamed, "I have no objections."
