Chapter 883: Chapter 882 Exposure

Having explained everything, the police turned and left.

Was this a disguised form of house arrest?

No! This couldn’t be!

Bai Gelin had not anticipated things turning out this way; his family still had no clue where he was. If only he could get in touch with Bai Qiuqing, then there might be a glimmer of hope!

No telling how long he had been pounding on the door and shouting, Bai Gelin finally despaired and tore at his own short hair in irritation.

Only now did he realize how foolish his actions had been!

Far from dealing with Qiao Xiaren, he had exposed himself instead. Qiao Xiaren’s look when she had last seen him had clearly hinted that she was onto him. Now it’s all over, Bai Gelin thought in despair.

Once Bai Gelin entered the police station, the Bai Family was dutifully notified. The old Master Bai didn’t take it seriously and instructed the Butler to bring tens of thousands in ransom to bail him out.

What surprised Master Bai was the police’s feedback: they could not release him on bail!

How could it look, the esteemed young master of the Bai Family squatting in a police station? Master Bai had no choice but to visit the police station personally.

"Sorry, sir, your son is suspected of attempted murder. We are currently following police station procedures to thoroughly investigate this matter. Please, sir, don’t be anxious; we will soon come to a conclusion."

Such a statement, of course, would not suffice for Master Bai.

His son had married the Nie Family’s cherished daughter, and his own daughter was married into one of the four great families, the Qiao Family!

With such a background, how dare these police officers give the Bai Family trouble?

"It’s just an Actor, after all. What’s the big deal with a car accident? You mean to say that we can’t post bail with money, which rule is that?"

Obviously, Master Bai was still unaware of Qiao Xiaren’s identity; since her return to the Qiao Family, only a very few people knew that Qiao Xiaren was the Qiao Family’s prized daughter.

Even Bai Gelin only found out after his sister inadvertently let it slip.

Seeing the Master starting to make unreasonable demands, the police officers felt somewhat embarrassed.

"Dad, let’s just go back first," Nie Lin suggested, seeing that there was no quick way to resolve the situation at the police station, only to unexpectedly provoke Master Bai’s rage.

"What nonsense are you talking about? How laughable it would be for the distinguished young master of the Bai Family to be detained in a police station! As the daughter-in-law of the Bai Family, instead of thinking about rescuing your own husband, you’re here making indifferent remarks!"

Chastised by Master Bai, Nie Lin felt somewhat helpless: "This is a police station, they have to follow the rules as well."

"What rules? Have they no regard for who the Bai Family is? All of you must be interns, with no tact or knowledge. Didn’t you bother to inquire about our standing in the Capital? Was the Actor even hit? No! There wasn’t a single injury on her, yet you still haul my son off to the police station! Maybe that Actor intended to seduce my son and deliberately caused this car accident."

Listening to the old Master spouting nonsense, Nie Lin felt as if she wanted to burrow into a hole and hide. No wonder the Bai Family faced bankruptcy back in the day.

Hearing Master Bai speak like this, the police could only sneer coldly and ignore him as if he were a madman.

The old Master thought too highly of himself, believing that by associating with one of the four great families, he was untouchable, soaring to the skies. In the Capital, random surnames thrown out could trump his by far.

No matter how Master Bai threatened or tempted, he had no choice in the end but to go home. After considering all options, he could only seek help from the Qiao Family.

Qiao Xiaren and Chu Yifei had given their statements at the police station and were now free to leave.

Si Limo had just reached the entrance when he seemed to have something very urgent to tell Qiao Xiaren.
