She thought a lot of things, but she did not think that those people could have gotten caught.
Dai Yiran felt that even if they could not catch Lu Man, wouldn’t it have been easy for them to escape?
Because of her worrying, she was in no mood to participate in the dinner party tonight. Anyway, Han Zhuoli would not be going.
Actually, what really made her find it strange was that if Han Zhuoli had really gotten his marriage certificate with Lu Man on that day, wouldn’t he have announced it publicly?
Back then, it was only an engagement and yet Han Zhuoli had personally posted about it on Weibo.
Because of that, Dai Yiran still hoped that perhaps those people had succeeded.
It was just that before they could reply to her, they’d had to run away hurriedly.
At that moment, the doorbell at home rang.
Dai Yiran did not care. At this time, Dai Rongcheng was still at the dinner party and should not have come home yet.
Mrs. Dai, Li Simin, had gone with Dai Rongcheng to the dinner party.
The helpers at home opened the door and Dai Yiran could hear the voice of the helper. “Madam.”
Dai Yiran found it strange. Why did Li Simin come back so early?
She stood up and had walked a few steps when Li Simin entered the door.
“Mom, what happened to you?” Seeing that Li Simin’s face was pale, her steps weak, Dai Yiran hurriedly went to help her walk.
Li Simin tightly grabbed Dai Yiran’s arm. “Your dad… your dad was brought away by people!”
“What does that mean? What do you mean by brought away by people?” Dai Yiran asked in shock.
“I’m not very clear about the specifics. At that time, I was talking with a few ladies and was not by his side. He was talking with Wang Juhuai when five people from the Discipline Inspection Commission came and brought your dad away. I don’t know what exactly happened. At that time, Mayor He and the rest all did not dare to stay anymore and left,” Li Simin said, flustered.
“I wanted to go and see your dad, but they didn’t allow me to,” Li Simin said. “On the way back, I asked a lot of your dad’s colleagues to ask them for help to find out more about it, but no one picked up my call. With him being brought away by the Discipline Inspection Commission, doesn’t that mean that it’s over for your dad?”
“Of course, right now, perhaps they’re just investigating him,” Dai Yiran said to comfort her and to also comfort herself. “Let’s wait a while more, alright? Which colleagues of his did you ask?”
“Mayor He and the rest,” Li Simin said.
Dai Yiran thought for a while and said, “They are scared of getting investigated as well right now and would definitely not dare to interfere. Ha, they normally call my dad their brother and act like their relationship is very good, but at the vital moment, they aren’t reliable.”
Dai Yiran said, “Mom, do you have any of the contact numbers of my dad’s army friends? It seems that he has quite a few who are doing very well. Ask if they have any way to find out more about it.”
“Right, right.” Li Simin nodded. “I’ll go and find those now.”
Just when Li Simin was about to go and find the contact numbers of Dai Rongcheng’s army friends, the doorbell at home rang again.
Li Simin’s whole body was currently very jittery, and she jumped up instantly. “Who could be here at this time?”
“Mom, don’t worry. It could be that someone found out about Dad’s news and came to tell us,” Dai Yiran said and instructed the helpers, “Hurry and open the door.”
Who’d have thought that not long after, the helpers would anxiously come back to report, “It’s… it’s the police!”
Li Simin was like a bird that had been startled by a hunter. Everything could cause her to break down.
“Could they be here to ask us about things concerning your dad?” Li Simin said anxiously. “I don’t know anything! I…”
“Mom! Calm down! How can you help dad when you’re like that?!” Dai Yiran said angrily.
