Wei Ling was flustered. She didnât 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, âPerhaps itâs because of the Jiang familyâ¦â
Even she didnât believe her own words.
Su Huaiyuan wasnât an ordinary person. The Jiang family didnât have the right to order him around.
If she didnât believe it herself, how could Wei Dongshan believe it?
âWhy havenât we heard of any dealings between the Jiang family and Elder Su before?â
Wei Ling forced herself to stay awake and said weakly, âThe circle is only that big. As long as youâre willing to find someone, you can always build some connections. Elder Jiang was famous for being sociable when he was young. Itâs not strange that he found someone on this level.â
âI think Elder Suâs attitudeâ¦â
Wei Ling interrupted him and said firmly, âIt canât be that she knows Elder Su herself. I donât believe it. Thatâs too incredulous!â
ââ¦â Wei Dongshan didnât 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.
â¦
Su Huaiyuanâs car was parked outside the police station. Since he didnât 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 didnât 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 wasnât something that could be done with ordinary connections. He just didnât know what relationship this Miss Qiao had with Elder Su. Anyway, he had never heard of Elder Su having such a big granddaughterâ¦
Soon, the Su familyâs chauffeur led her to the front of the car. Even though he was skeptical, he still said respectfully, âMiss Qiao, please get in first.â
â¦
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, âNian Nian, are you okay?â
Qiao Nian hadnât 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. âIâm okay. Chief Cai is here. They didnât make things difficult for me.â
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. âItâs good that youâre 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, youâre fine.â
Driving in front, when the Su familyâs chauffeur heard this, he stole a glance through the rearview mirror.
Wasnât 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, âIâm sorry for making you worry. Iâ¦â
