In June, Tianyun City was particularly rainy.
Qiao Yin stood at the entrance of the police station, watching the pitter-patter of the rain. She wasn’t sure if she was shivering because it was too cold or because the story of Shi Song’s family was too distressing.
A familiar Maybach drove into the police station yard. Qiao Yin paused. Was Lu Lingche here to pick her up?
A gentle voice sounded behind her: “Miss Qiao, are you also here to give a statement at the police station?”
Qiao Yin slowly turned around and saw Lan Yuyi, who had a friendly smile on her face.
By her side, her mother Wen Bilan held her tightly, as if afraid she might have another accident.
And behind her, two formidable bodyguards were guarding closely.
Wen Bilan started talking sarcastically, “Miss Qiao certainly has some skill. I heard that you can even heal people, so even the kidnappers protected you. That’s quite strange. Our best doctors at Lan’s Hospital can’t cure a brain tumor, but you can.”
“Some people can’t go a day without boasting. Who knows if she can really heal, or if she’s done something unspeakable with the kidnappers.”
As she spoke, she glanced at Qiao Yin’s stomach, “Who knows, maybe she’s already expecting their bastard!”
Qiao Yin laughed coldly, “I’ve always wondered why Miss Lan is so dark and dirty inside. It turns out you inherited it from you.”
“The police can’t solve cases as well as you can. You’re indeed impressive, Mrs. Lan. With just one sentence, you exposed all the thieves and harlots in your stomach. Whatever your inner world is like, is what you see the world as. If the Lu Family knew about Miss Lan’s family style, would they still let her in the door?”
“If you two want to pretend to be some gentle and noble family, then at least act the part. Miss Lan does a pretty good job, but you, her mother, use such vulgar language that you easily ruin your daughter’s image. Am I right, Miss Lan?”
Lan Yuyi’s face didn’t look very good at this point. She sent her mother an annoyed glance, blaming her for saying nonsense in public.
However, she had just seen Lu Lingche get out of the car, so she held back her anger.
Still, she kept her gentle facade: “I’m sorry, Miss Qiao, my mom is a bit too candid, please don’t be angry. She didn’t mean badly. After Lingche saved me, my mom has been worried about you, fearing that something might have happened to you.”
Qiao Yin, listening to her intentional emphasis on being saved by Lu Lingche first, responded coldly, “Was she worried something might have happened to me or that nothing did?”
Lan Yuyi’s eyes reddened with indignity, “Miss Qiao, we were really worried about you. Could you please not assume the worst of us? Have you no sunshine in your heart?”
“Lan Yuyi, we both know whether you tried to trap me or hoped the kidnappers would kill me. There’s no need to keep up the second act in front of me, right?”
As soon as Qiao Yin finished speaking, she saw Lu Lingche standing beside her.
She suddenly realized, “So this performance isn’t meant for me.”
However, Lan Yuyi, looking up at Lu Lingche with a blissful face, said, “I told you not to come pick me up, why did you come anyway? You’ve given me bodyguards, I feel safe with them. You’re so busy; there’s no need to personally escort me.”
Lu Lingche glanced at her but didn’t respond. Instead, he said to Qiao Yin, “Qiao Yin, I’ll take you home.”
Qiao Yin took a step back, creating some distance from him, “That won’t be necessary.”
After saying this, she walked straight into the rain.
A detective about to drive off saw Qiao Yin drenched in the rain and couldn’t help but ask, “Miss Qiao, where do you live?”
This detective was the one in charge of Qiao Yin’s kidnapping case; he was also the one who had led the team to rescue her at the cemetery.
“Officer Li, I live near Changjin Road.”
“Get in, I’ll drop you off. I’m just about to head there to work on a case.”
Qiao Yin thanked him gratefully, “Thank you, Officer Li!”
She opened the car door and got in..
