Marry Me Quick novel Chapter 513

Chapter 513

Chuan soon arrived. Ziyue entrusted Zixi to the maid at home and entered Chuan's car to head to the police station.

The two of them were somber as they sat in the car.

"Do you know what happened?" Ziyue asked as she put on the seatbelt.

Chuan shook his head. "It was too sudden. I've assigned someone to investigate, but there's nothing yet. We need to see the boss first to find out what happened."

His words did not ease Ziyue at all.

Neither of them said anything else until they arrived at the police station.

…

Chuan stopped the car before the police station. Then, he and Ziyue got out.

Ziyue barely walked a few steps when she saw a man in a white shirt and black suit.

"Mrs. Qin, Mr. Chuan." The man wore a pair of gold-rimmed glasses. He had a stern but familiar face.

Soon, Ziyue remembered who he was.

He was Muchen's lawyer, He Yichen.

Ziyue gave him a nod. "Mr. He."

Yichen stood with his hands naturally hanging by his side. His gaze was sharp and calm behind his glasses. "Mr. Qin's situation does not permit him to meet his family members. Therefore, you have very limited time with him. I'll do my best to solve this case."

Ziyue knew about this.

Detainees could not meet with family or friends and could only see their lawyers. They had to pull some strings for them to meet Muchen.

Ziyue and the others did not say anything but walked in together.

…

Muchen was alone in the detention room.

When Ziyue saw him, he was standing before the wall.

However, she could not see his expression as he stood facing the wall.

He did not turn around even after hearing the door open.

"Muchen," Ziyue called out to him.

Muchen's body stiffened when he heard her voice. After a few seconds, he finally turned around to look at her.

He focused briefly on her face before glancing behind her at Chuan and Yichen.

Yichen immediately understood Muchen's intention and turned around to leave with Chuan.

Muchen tucked a strand of hair behind Ziyue's ear before saying, "It wasn't my intention to hide it from you this time, but everything was too sudden. The police appeared, and I didn't even have the time to call you."

His tone remained calm and pleasant. Even though he was arrested without warning, he did not show a hint of anxiousness.

Ziyue shook her head. "I don't blame you."

It had only been two hours since his arrest. He was still wearing the suit from when he left home this morning. However, it now had a few creases.

Ziyue glanced around the narrow detention room and reached to flatten the creases on Muchen's suit.

However, Muchen held her hand. "I need to tell you something. You must listen carefully."

He had requested Chuan and Yichen to leave because he had something to instruct Ziyue.

Ziyue immediately looked at him.

Muchen held her hand and said, "You don't have to worry about me. I will get out soon. All you need to do is take good care of Zixi and live as you see fit."

He sounded relaxed, as if he was not detained for fatally injuring someone but was going on a business trip.

However, Ziyue could not calm down at all.

She had been in this kind of place once. The air was damp and poorly circulated. Although she was only detained there for a short time, she still keenly remembered how it felt to be trapped there.

Ziyue looked at him quietly for a few seconds before saying, "You can't say that. You are detained here, and I don't know anything. How can I not worry?"

Muchen's expression fell slightly, but he soon replied, "Chuan is here. He will deal with this matter. Furthermore, if Grandpa comes to see you while I'm here, you should ignore him. You must not heed anything he says."

"Grandpa?" Ziyue asked in confusion.

Muchen's tone turned solemn. "Yes, you must remember this. You must not listen nor believe him no matter what he says."

Ziyue wanted to say something, but someone suddenly opened the door.

She and Muchen turned to the door simultaneously and saw Yichen standing there.

Yichen looked at them. "Mr. Qin, we don't have much time left. Please let me have the rest of the time to learn about your situation."

Bringing Ziyue and Chuan here to see Muchen was against the rules. Thus, he was only able to get them a little time.

"Sure," Muchen answered calmly.

Then, he turned to Ziyue and said, "Remember what I said."

Ziyue sensed the seriousness of his tone and nodded solemnly.

Then, Chuan came into the room. The three men huddled together to discuss the case.

Suddenly, Ziyue's phone rang.

She had no choice but to leave the room to answer it.

"Xia."

It was a call from Xia. Ziyue already guessed why Xia called before she said anything.

After all, Muchen's matter was all over the news.

As expected, Xia asked immediately, "What happened? How did Mr. Qin get involved in a murder case?"

"I'm not sure either, but he will be fine." Ziyue was unsure if she said that to comfort Xia or herself.

"Mr. Qin is a brilliant man. I'm sure he will be all right, so you shouldn't worry too much. If you need me to help with anything, let me know."

Xia had deep faith in Muchen's capabilities.

On the other hand, Ziyue was anxious because she was unsure whether Muchen had killed someone.

"Jingshu returned to his ancestral home in Jingcheng City yesterday morning. I called him this morning, but no one answered. If he were here, he would have helped you guys." Xia sounded worried.

She had called him a few times, but he did not answer.

Yesterday, Jingshu called her after he got off the plane. However, they only managed to chat briefly before hanging up.

"Something must have happened with his family, so he is too busy to contact anyone. Once he's done with the matter, he will surely contact you."

Initially, Xia had called to ask about Ziyue's situation. In the end, Ziyue comforted her.

Xia also noticed this and said, "I'll meet up with you tomorrow."

"Sure."

After hanging up the call with Xia, Ziyue returned to the room.

As soon as she walked in, she heard Chuan say, "I've tried to contact Mr. Bai but couldn't reach him."
