Wei Ling was flustered. She didn’t understand why Su Huaiyuan would interfere in this matter either, but Cai Gang was still here. Not wanting to weakness in front of him, she pinched her palms and pursed her lips. Her expression was bad as she said, “Perhaps it’s because of the Jiang family…”
Even she didn’t believe her own words.
Su Huaiyuan wasn’t an ordinary person. The Jiang family didn’t have the right to order him around.
If she didn’t believe it herself, how could Wei Dongshan believe it?
“Why haven’t we heard of any dealings between the Jiang family and Elder Su before?”
Wei Ling forced herself to stay awake and said weakly, “The circle is only that big. As long as you’re willing to find someone, you can always build some connections. Elder Jiang was famous for being sociable when he was young. It’s not strange that he found someone on this level.”
“I think Elder Su’s attitude…”
Wei Ling interrupted him and said firmly, “It can’t be that she knows Elder Su herself. I don’t believe it. That’s too incredulous!”
“…” Wei Dongshan didn’t say anything else. He pursed his lips and stood there, looking rather unhappy.
His intuition told him that Su Huaiyuan knew Qiao Nian, not because of anyone, but because he had come here specifically for her.
At this thought, he felt frustrated again. He regretted his rash intervention in this matter.
…
Su Huaiyuan’s car was parked outside the police station. Since he didn’t come in himself, he got the chauffeur to help him bail Qiao Nian out.
After a while, Qiao Nian came out of the police station.
She didn’t bring anything with her except a hoodie. Her clothes were messy, and some places were stained with blood. They draped loosely over her body and did not look proper.
Fortunately, her temperament did not belong to the obedient type.
Her bandit aura seemed to have become stronger.
The driver kept peeking at her throughout the journey as if he wanted to see through her.
He had no choice. He had never seen Elder Su so concerned about anyone before. In order to bail out this Miss Qiao, Elder Su had taken a two-hour car ride back from the neighboring city. He had even postponed the meeting the next day. This wasn’t something that could be done with ordinary connections. He just didn’t know what relationship this Miss Qiao had with Elder Su. Anyway, he had never heard of Elder Su having such a big granddaughter…
Soon, the Su family’s chauffeur led her to the front of the car. Even though he was skeptical, he still said respectfully, “Miss Qiao, please get in first.”
…
Su Huaiyuan was also in the car. The backseat of the extended Mercedes-Benz was very spacious, enough for two people to sit in.
The moment Qiao Nian got into the car, Su Huaiyuan quickly sized her up and asked in concern, “Nian Nian, are you okay?”
Qiao Nian hadn’t rested well the entire day. She had examinations, taken a plane, and had been locked in the interrogation room for a few hours. Now, she looked exhausted.
Her eyes were filled with redness, and one could vaguely see traces of blood. She held the brim of her hoodie and relaxed her tense back as she leaned back. After stretching her body slightly, she shook her head and pursed her lips. “I’m okay. Chief Cai is here. They didn’t make things difficult for me.”
Su Huaiyuan was worried that someone with poor judgment would make things difficult for her. When he heard that she was fine, he felt relieved and revealed a relaxed expression. “It’s good that you’re fine. I was worried about you on the way here. I wanted to ask you about it, but I was afraid that it would be inconvenient for you to answer the phone. Fortunately, you’re fine.”
Driving in front, when the Su family’s chauffeur heard this, he stole a glance through the rearview mirror.
Wasn’t that right? Elder Su had been urging him to drive faster the entire journey. He looked like he wanted to grow wings and fly over.
Qiao Nian could hear the concern in his voice. Her eyes warmed and her anger dissipated by more than half. Supporting her forehead, she said guiltily, “I’m sorry for making you worry. I…”
