Chapter 138: Chapter 138 Embrace and Sleep

Xu Chang said nothing.

"What are you still dawdling here for!" Lu Xiao yelled at Xu Chang again, "Hurry up and clear up the mess you made, otherwise if it affects me, I’ll make sure you can’t eat your way out of trouble!"

At his words, Xu Chang immediately sprang to his feet in fright, grabbed his clothes, and ran out without another word.

In the living room, only Lu Xiao was left. He felt that it was not enough to vent his anger, so he kicked the sofa again.

Damn it!

He had thought that with Lu Jinyang away, he could take the opportunity to set up his woman, to give him something to worry about. Little did he know how important this woman was to him, actually drawing him back.

Lu Xiao stroked his chin as if he had discovered a new world.

"This is getting more and more interesting."

...

Lu Jinyang didn’t return to the apartment until the early hours of the morning.

A lamp had been left on in the living room, and when he opened the door and saw the figure lying on the floor bedding, his eyebrows furrowed unhappily.

He bent down and stretched out his hand, hesitated in mid-air, and then retracted it, walking into the bathroom instead.

Coming out again, he was wrapped only in a towel. Ignoring his dripping wet hair, he bent down again to pick up the woman lying on the floor, placing her on the large bed before he returned to the bathroom to blow-dry his hair.

That night, Lu Jinyang slept with her in his arms, like an old married couple, merely sharing a bed and blanket.

After finishing all his work, Si Nanchen returned to the police station only to be informed that Zhuang Shuqing had been taken away by someone.

He grabbed the person and wouldn’t let go, "Say it again, Zhuang Shuqing was really acquitted?"

The police officer was speechless. Today must have been an unlucky day - why was his collar grabbed at noon and again in the evening? If he had known that this was going to happen, he would have preferred to be on duty outside.

"Comrade, please let go of me."

"No, as soon as I let go you’ll leave. Hurry up and tell me, has Zhuang Shuqing really been acquitted? Or was she sentenced today?"

Si Nanchen had known that Zhuang Shuqing’s trial was today, but because he had been busy transferring business from overseas back home, he simply couldn’t get away until the evening, sparing only a little time.

But now, it had all been in vain.

The policeman groaned inwardly, having already told him several times. If you don’t believe it, who’s to blame?

Although he thought this, he definitely wouldn’t say it out loud. With patience, he said again: "Comrade, I’ll tell you once more, I am not aware of the details about Comrade Zhuang Shuqing’s case at the moment. If you want to know more, please come back tomorrow."

With that, he gestured "please," "I am off work now. If you’re not filing a police report, please don’t disturb our work."

Standing at the entrance of the police station, Si Nanchen felt deeply hurt.

If he had known what was going to happen tonight, he would have thrown aside all those trivial matters.

Not dwelling on it for long, Si Nanchen drove straight to the apartment Zhuang Shuqing had rented.

Arriving downstairs, he didn’t see her apartment lights on. After thinking for a moment, he still walked up the stairs.

Si Nanchen knocked on the door softly a few times. After waiting for about ten minutes with no one answering, he began to feel suspicious and muttered to himself: Could it be that she didn’t come back?

But if she hasn’t returned, where could she possibly go now?
