Chapter 604: Chapter 601

Li Zaijun: “…”

Knowing she was in the wrong, she stammered and couldn’t say anything else. She was just curious; her sister-in-law’s issue wasn’t that serious, and her brother had come himself. How could they still lock up his wife overnight?

Hesitantly, she still asked, “Brother, it’s not that serious with sister-in-law, right?”

As soon as these words came out, Lu Xiao glanced at her indifferently, “You want to know too many things.”

Embarrassed, Li Zaijun had no choice but to turn around and leave sheepishly.

Yet, she had barely taken a few steps when Lu Xiao suddenly called her back.

She turned around and listened as her brother said sternly,

“From now on, no matter what tough situation you find yourself in, you can’t go to your sister-in-law.”

So it was because of this. She muttered an ‘oh’ to herself, feeling somewhat hurt inside.

But the next second, she heard him add, “You can come directly to me. I’ve been transferred and will be working in Beijing from now on. Remember, I’m your brother!”

Remember, I’m your brother.

He’s your family, so you should come to him when you encounter difficulties, not keep it to yourself.

Li Zaijun froze. After a long while, just as Lu Xiao waved his hand telling her to hurry back and be safe, a slow smile spread across her lips, and her heart felt as if it was filled with a warm current: “I understand, Brother.”

…

In the evening.

With a blanket in her arms, Wen Xian followed a police officer into the detention center, but no one paid her much attention because the area she was being locked in was meant for special detainees. This corridor of iron doors had three gates, but all were empty. The officer boldly asked her,

“Which one do you want to stay in tonight? Pick any.”

At this, Wen Xian’s eyes twitched, and her expression became particularly subtle.

What, do they think this place is some luxury hotel? All these detention cells look the same; what’s there to choose from?

“Just, this one then.”

She randomly pointed at the first door at the entrance.

Shortly after, she was locked inside, the officer clicked the lock twice and then said, “If you need anything, press the alarm button. Try to get some rest early.”

As the officer was about to leave,

Wen Xian quickly called out to him, “Hey, wait!”

“Hmm?”

The officer looked back.

Wen Xian gripped the bars at the gates tightly and forced a weak smile, “Um… have you seen my husband?”

“Your husband?”

“Yes, yes, the one named Lu, Lu Xiao.” Wen Xian said urgently.

As the officer walked away, the place became desolate, leaving her all alone, which indeed made her a bit scared.

The officer suddenly realized, “Oh, you mean Captain Lu… No, I haven’t seen him.”

With that, the officer walked out, closing the security door with a code behind him.

Wen Xian: “…”

Her heart chilled completely.

Clinging to the iron bars, she looked around; the room housed a bunk bed, a toilet, facilities for washing, but the entire jail cell was just about seven or eight square meters in size, pitifully small.

It seemed to be newly renovated, so it was quite clean.

Yet, she thought about how a celebrity like herself ended up being locked up in such a place. Unbelievable.

Wen Xian was so frustrated she almost felt like smashing something big on her chest.

“Lu Xiao, Lu Xiao… please come…” Wen Xian paced anxiously in place. With the lights out soon, and only her alone, she was genuinely scared.

Without any electronic devices, every minute and second seemed to stretch on forever, making it unbearably hard for her.

After Lu Xiao got the keys from Captain Liang, he came over.

Just as he approached the main door to this area, he faintly heard a voice inside that sounded almost ghostly…
