He must be angry because she didn't wait for him at the hotel as they agreed, and worse still, she ended up in the police station! The incident had unfolded in a way beyond her control, though!
"Come here!" Lu Xingzhi growled again impatiently.
This time, before Jiang Yao could move, Chen Xuyao, the traitor, pushed her forward and said with a sheepish grin, "Jiang Yao is so excited to see you that she can't walk properly!"
Lu Xingzhi and Jiang Yao rolled their eyes at Chen Xuyao.
Although Jiang Yao had been pushed to his side by Chen Xuyao, Lu Xingzhi was happy that his wife was standing by his side. He stroked her hair gently and chided, "Naughty girl, I'll have to punish you later."
"Sergeant Lu, do you know them?" The police officer didn't know the exact identity of the man in military uniform standing in front of him. He merely knew that he was from Jindo and he must be somebody in a high-ranking position because even their chief had greeted him respectfully.
"Yes," Lu Xingzhi replied, keeping his answer short and simple. Obviously, he thought it was redundant and unnecessary to explain his relationship with Jiang Yao and Chen Xuyao to a mere officer. However, a yes' was more than enough to make the officer nervous and focused.
"What's the matter?" Lu Xingzhi looked at Chen Xuyao. "Why did you come to Nanjiang City?"
