The Billionaire's New Wife in Chief-Chapter 979 - 378: Returning Home, Arrested at the Airport and Taken to the Police Station
The man’s eyes suddenly tightened, and for a moment, he was a bit taken aback. After a long pause, his deep voice, tinged with hoarseness, asked, "Is the information accurate?"
After speaking, he felt a little discomfort in his throat and couldn’t help but cough.
On the other end of the line, Xi Mohan paused slightly but instead of answering, asked, "Your voice seems a bit off. Did you not rest well last night?"
Xi Mohan’s tone sounded more like a statement than a question.
In the past few years, Lu Jingchen’s health hadn’t been well, especially after Song Qiao left. His irregular meals and lack of proper rest had even caused problems with his stomach.
As Lu Jingchen’s good brother, and after Ning Wan left and Xi Mohan became single again, they shared a kind of mutual sympathy for each other’s situation.
Lu Jingchen clenched his fist and brought it to his lips, already feeling a sense of calmness as he said softly, "You should know that’s not the main point."
Xi Mohan sneered coldly before speaking leisurely, "Our people have only found a little bit of information. Nothing specific has been confirmed yet. But the information was given to me by someone else. I’m just passing it on to you. Whether it’s true or false, you should verify it yourself."
Lu Jingchen’s lips moved slightly, and finally, he turned everything he wanted to say into just two words, "Thank you!"
Xi Mohan said nothing more and directly hung up the phone.
As soon as Lu Jingchen hung up the phone, there was a knock on the door and the voice of a little one, "Daddy, Daddy, are you up?"
Hearing his son’s voice, Lu Jingchen’s expression softened considerably. He took a jacket from the wardrobe and headed straight to the door. Upon opening the door, he saw the neatly dressed little guy standing there, looking up and smiling at him.
Lu Jingchen reached out to rub the little one’s head and said gently, "Let’s go. Daddy will take you out for breakfast. What do you want to eat?"
The little one’s face immediately lit up with a big smile, clearly very happy, "Daddy, I want to eat wontons. Can we go have wontons?"
"Sure."
Meanwhile, at a high-end community in An City, Xi Mohan looked a bit haggard, as if he hadn’t slept all night.
After hanging up the phone, he pressed the Home button on his phone, returning to the home screen. The screen looked empty, with only a WeChat app and nothing else installed. What was most noticeable was the phone’s wallpaper.
The man’s finger gently rubbed the photo on the wallpaper, his expression indifferent and distant.
The photo was of Ning Wan, and it was obviously taken secretly.
Yet, Xi Mohan treated this photo like a treasure, using it as wallpaper even after changing phones.
The man’s face was cold and dark as he stared at the photo on his phone. In truth, he felt a bit lost about why he persisted so much, knowing well that the young woman no longer loved him. He hadn’t cherished her when she loved him, and now he couldn’t let go of her.
His thoughts were a mess, to the point where he couldn’t discern his own feelings.
...
Song Qiao originally booked a flight to Paris at ten in the morning, but the flight was delayed, and they boarded the plane in the afternoon, arriving in An City at ten in the morning.
Song Qiao and Gu Xiyan were not on the same flight. She had to accompany her daughter, while Gu Xiyan’s schedule was packed, and the little girl wanted to see Mu Shinian sooner, so Gu Xiyan arrived in An City even earlier.
Returning to An City again, Song Qiao had mixed feelings of indescribable emotion and strangely, a bit of sadness. Her face, hidden behind sunglasses, betrayed no expression.
After retrieving her luggage, Song Qiao checked the time on her wristwatch. The food on the plane was unappetizing, so she hadn’t eaten much, but now she was hungry and hurried toward the exit with the crowd.
However, just as she reached the exit, a few police officers in uniform suddenly appeared out of nowhere, blocking her path.
Song Qiao frowned slightly at the officers blocking her way, unsure of the situation. 𝗳𝚛𝗲𝕖𝚠𝚎𝚋𝗻𝗼𝕧𝗲𝐥.𝚌𝚘𝐦
One officer held a photo, glancing at it and then at Song Qiao. Because she wore sunglasses, he couldn’t confirm if she was the woman in the photo. After hesitating, he held up the photo for her to see, asking, "Miss, is this you in the photo?"
Song Qiao glanced at the photo. The officer pointed to one of the people in it. She recognized herself immediately; it was definitely her.
Even though the photo was clearly taken secretly, and judging from the background, it was from a recent event she attended.
For a moment, Song Qiao was dumbfounded, unable to understand what was happening. She racked her brain, thinking she hadn’t done anything illegal.
After a moment’s hesitation, she nodded and admitted honestly, "That’s me. What’s wrong? Did I do something wrong?"
The officer was visibly surprised by Song Qiao’s words, not expecting to actually find her. Once he regained his composure, he couldn’t help but feel overjoyed, providing no explanation, he simply said, "Miss Song, please come with us."
Song Qiao frowned again, "I’m sorry, I don’t think I’ve done anything illegal, so there’s no reason for me to go with you."
"Miss Song, there’s no need to worry. We have something we need you to help resolve." After saying this, the officer gestured to his colleagues behind him. A couple of officers stepped forward, standing on either side of Song Qiao, one even taking her luggage, but they did not lay hands on her.
An hour and a half later, Song Qiao sat in the police station, feeling quite frustrated.
She had just gotten off the plane and was directly taken to the police station. Yet the officers did not trouble her, interrogate her, or even ask her questions, and they treated her with hospitality.
But... Song Qiao’s gaze fell on the food in front of her, and she had no appetite at all.
