Chapter 601: Chapter 598

Wen Xian looked both aggrieved and innocent.

Lu Xiao, hearing all this, had dark, inscrutable eyes that left people guessing at his thoughts.

The police uncle said, “Since you claim your sister was threatened and blackmailed by that man, have her come over with the evidence, and we’ll help her solve the issue.”

“And what about me…”

Wen Xian hurriedly asked.

She couldn’t stay here too long; she had a flight out of the country the day after tomorrow.

As these words fell, Lu Xiao glanced at her and then said to the police uncle, “Captain Liang, I’ll have a word with you.”

Captain Liang: “…”

Wen Xian just watched as the two men left.

In fact, her problem wasn’t that serious, and since there were reasons for her actions, not arbitrarily committed, as long as she could prove her reasons were true, she could just pay a fine and leave.

But Captain Liang had never expected Lu Xiao to say such a thing to him.

In the corridor, where it was just the two of them, Lu Xiao took out a cigarette case, drew a cigarette and offered it to him, then slowly said:

“Captain Liang, don’t let her out so fast, keep her for a day.”

At these words, Captain Liang was stunned.

He widened his eyes, “You good for nothing, I was thinking you wanted to plead for your wife, and here you are wanting to keep her for a day.”

As long as it could be proven that the person she hit was an extortionist, she could be let off lightly, just a fine would do.

But Lu Xiao remained silent.

Finally, he spoke again, his voice low but earnest:

“Let her learn a lesson. I can’t personally reprimand her for such an incident.”

Upon hearing this, Captain Liang once again widened his eyes, half laughing and half crying, “What, you can’t even scold her? When someone does wrong, they need to be scolded. If you keep indulging her, what will you do if she does something even more serious in the future? It’s for her own good. Tell me, are you under the thumb of your wife?”

It didn’t seem like it, though.

Through the corridor window, Lu Xiao saw Wen Xian standing against the wall in the lobby.

She was still standing there, her small face seemingly looking around, searching for him.

Standing there alone, she looked particularly helpless.

Gazing at that scene, Lu Xiao’s large hand involuntarily tightened, as he suppressed whatever emotion was in his heart, and slowly said:

“If I scold her, I’m afraid that in the future, if she encounters any issue, she’ll hesitate to tell me right away, worrying it will make me angry, and she’ll end up dealing with it alone, hiding it.”

Just like this time, he was waiting for her at the protection association.

They were scheduled to go together, two people.

He had arrived early and was waiting for her there.

But he hadn’t seen her, and when she did call from an unfamiliar number, she simply told him she was at the police station.

“…”

Fortunately, things were still under control this time, and it hadn’t led to serious consequences.

But what about next time?

He hoped she would tell him everything, good or bad, right away, no matter what happened.

After all, in this world…

There’s no one else who would care for her like he does, love her, do everything with her best interests in mind.

This time, letting her spend a night in the police station, she would learn to fear, and in the future, she wouldn’t act so impulsively, so recklessly.

Captain Liang listened to his heartfelt explanation, and fell silent: “…”

It seemed he didn’t want to be the bad guy, leaving the police station to play that role.

His words were like a cold dish of dog food, ruthlessly smacked onto his old face.
