"Master, I'll go and drive the car now." Mo Yun took the car keys and was about to go to the garage.
Before he could step out of the main door, he saw that Lu Jinsheng, who had been standing in the living room talking just now, had disappeared without a trace.
Mo Yun reached out and scratched the back of his head, tugging at the corner of his mouth. "Sister Gu, where's the master?"
"The master left the house while we were talking."
Mo Yun: "..."
Sure enough, once it came to the young mistress having an accident, he would definitely be faster than anyone else.
At this moment, Lu Yuan, standing at the staircase, saw everything. She leaned her back against the handrail of the steps, her eyes cold. "Mo Yun, where's my brother?"
Mo Yun gave a start. He didn't dare to tell the truth. His eyes flitted around uneasily as he tried to seek help from Sister Gu. Unfortunately, Sister Gu had already gone downstairs to work.
He coughed twice, pretending to be calm. "The master has gone out on business. Maybe... he'll be back soon?"
Lu Yuan pursed her pink lips slightly and raised her eyebrows. "Is he really just out on business?"
These words made Mo Yun look a bit uncomfortable. Lu Yuan tightened her face, and the emotions in her eyes returned to their usual calm. "Father is looking for him. Ask him to bring the mistress to the main building when he comes back from the police station."
"Yes!"
After delivering the message, Lu Yuan turned around and left, leaving behind a meaningful look as she went.
The old man... was just too well - informed.
...
At the police station.
Shen Jianyi sat obediently on one of the chairs in a row. She hung her fluffy little head, rubbing her hands between her legs. She had no idea when Lu Jinsheng would come to get her out.
The little girl sitting next to her looped her arm around Shen Jianyi's and said in a trembling voice, "Master, why... why aren't those police uncles asking anything?"
Shen Jianyi shook her head, pulling out one hand and placing it on the little girl's hand. She comforted her softly, "It's okay. I was the one who fought. Even if they detain someone, it'll be me."
Although Xia Liang was now in charge of all the assets of the Xia family, she still had to be obedient in front of the police. She understood the principle that the power of the government was greater than that of business.
While they were comforting each other, a figure in a police uniform walked over. He was tall and imposing, with long legs and broad shoulders. Xia Liang couldn't help but lick her lips when she saw him.
Just because someone was good - looking didn't mean they were gentle. This police officer placed the file in his hand on the table, lowered his eyes, and asked, "Who was the one who got into a fight?"
The woman looked up. She had a delicate face. Her thick, curly eyelashes fluttered, and her pink lips parted slightly. "It was me."
"Tell me, why did you fight?"
While he was talking to Shen Jianyi, those beaten hooligans were gloating nearby. The yellow - haired kid pointed at Shen Jianyi and mocked, "It's her, Officer. You must teach this arrogant woman a good lesson!"
"That's right, that's right," his companion beside him echoed. "For fighting and brawling, they should detain her for seven or eight days!"
"Hahahahaha, serves her right. Wasn't she so tough in the bar? Why is she acting like a quail now?"
"..."
These deliberately mocking words reached Shen Jianyi's ears. She fumbled for the ring on her ring finger. This ring was actually more than it seemed. There was a tiny, almost undetectable but lethal weapon inside.
Her small movement was stopped by Xia Liang. Xia Liang frowned and slowly shook her head.
Killing someone here was not something that could be solved by just a few days of detention.
As those words kept coming, the police officer clicked his tongue, swept his eyes over, and a stern look flashed in his eyes.
"Quiet! What do you think this place is? Who's your brother?" The police officer left Shen Jianyi's side, took two or three steps over, and half - bent to stare at the hooligans. "Stop trying to be familiar with me here. Do you think a girl would beat you for no reason?"
"That's right," Xia Liang wanted to give the police officer a thumbs - up.
The police officer gave her a look, and Xia Liang shrank her neck and squeezed back next to Shen Jianyi, muttering in a low voice, "Why is he so fierce?"
"..."
After sitting there for most of the day, Shen Jianyi explained the whole story. She shrugged helplessly. "Officer, we were just defending ourselves. Is that also wrong?"
"Uncle?" The police officer scoffed. "I'm not much older than you."
"Oh~ Then Officer Big Brother?"
Apart from Shen Jianyi, perhaps no one else could build a good friendship with the police in such a short time at the police station.
"Now you're even calling him big brother?"
A deep, hoarse male voice came into her ears along with the sound of the door opening. Shen Jianyi turned her head and saw the man standing against the light at the door.
He had a straight figure, broad shoulders and a slender waist. The light - colored short - sleeved shirt made his skin look coldly white, and the black long pants wrapped around his long legs.
Lu Jinsheng frowned slightly, pursed his thin lips, but his eyes showed concern for the woman.
The moment she saw him, Shen Jianyi quickly stood up from the chair and threw herself at Lu Jinsheng without a care.
"Lu Jinsheng, you bastard!" Shen Jianyi clenched her fist and punched the man in the chest while talking.
A muffled grunt came from the man's throat. Maybe Shen Jianyi really didn't know how strong she was. While others gently punched the chest, she could probably knock down an elephant with one punch.
Fortunately, the person standing in front of her was him. Any other person wouldn't be able to withstand this blow.
There was a faint smell of wine on the woman. Looking at her flushed earlobes and neck, Lu Jinsheng could probably guess that she must have been drunk and picked a fight with someone she didn't like.
He grabbed the woman's slender wrist, looked up at the "Officer Big Brother", and all the concern in his eyes disappeared, replaced by a thin layer of hostility.
The man's voice was hoarse and cold. "What's going on?"
The police officer recognized Lu Jinsheng at a glance. Looking at their actions, it was not hard to imagine their relationship. He had seen news about Lu Jinsheng's wife before, but he never thought that the one arrested today would be her.
His body trembled slightly, and he steeled himself to handle the matter impartially.
Just as the police officer was about to speak, the man in front of him said coldly, "Can I take her away?"
The question was asked. It was just a small quarrel between them, not serious enough for detention. Moreover, considering Shen Jianyi's special identity, the police station was not in a good position to keep her.
The police officer nodded. "You can leave after paying the fine."
Lu Jinsheng looked down at the woman in his arms. She just hung on him like a giant pendant.
That day, Lu Jinsheng sent Xia Liang back first and then took Shen Jianyi home.
As soon as they entered the house, the man's wild side gradually emerged. Facing the little vixen who was not fully sober, he gently tugged at the corner of his mouth, put his arm around her waist, and slowly drove the woman towards the wall.
Until Shen Jianyi's back hit the wall, he bent down, getting closer to the woman's ear.
When the warm breath approached, Shen Jianyi straightened her body, and a hot feeling spread all over her body. She could feel that she was still drunk.
The man's lowered voice was sexy and alluring. "Yiyi, call me big brother."
