Stealing Your Heart (Lin Xinyan) novel Chapter 951

During the journey from the police station to the prison, Nan Cheng asked, “Chief Wu, are you really in the dark about this?”

He was incredulous. Why did she go missing all of a sudden?

She had been relying on Jiang Mohan all along, so no one else could’ve helped her except for him and me.

Is it really that easy to escape from a prison?

He started to suspect that Chief Wu was the one who allowed her to escape.

Meanwhile, Chief Wu remained silent because he didn’t need to give an explanation anyway.

After all, a missing inmate was totally unexpected for him as well. He was even more anxious than Nan Cheng to find out what happened.

A while later, they arrived at their destination. Chief Wu put on a facade as he asked the warden to bring out one of the inmates because he wanted to question her.

When the warden heard her name, he said, “This inmate is sick, so she’s receiving treatment in the hospital.” Nan Cheng immediately asked Chief Wu, “Don’t tell me you don’t know about this?”

“I don’t!” Affairs like this needed Chief Wu’s permission, but he never saw the relevant documentation!

Besides that, what sickness does she have to warrant a visit to a hospital outside of the prison?

He avoided Nan Cheng’s gaze as he commanded the warden coldly, “Bring me there now.”

“Alright.” The warden sensed that something was amiss.

The three of them left together as the warden asked during their journey to the hospital, “Chief Wu, don’t you know what happened?”

Chief Wu squinted, “What do you mean?”

“We kept a close eye on her as per your instructions, but the reason why she managed to leave the prison was because Wang gave her permission. We thought that he was there on your behalf.”

Chief Wu furrowed his brows instantly. Some time ago, Wang tried to bail out one of his relatives who committed a crime, but Chief Wu denied his request because the nature of the crime was too heinous.

Wang then brought the same matter up a few more times and angered Chief Wu. Chief Wu reprimanded him harshly, “As enforcers of the law, we must be a good example and punish those who are a menace to society. Your relative is involved in this, but rules are rules, so they should be punished accordingly without exception.”

After the lecture, Wang didn’t bring up the issue again and behaved himself.

Don’t tell me he was just pretending to listen to my advice?

Chief Wu’s expression darkened.

They arrived at the hospital in no time. The warden brought them to the special ward where inmates stayed. Even though the inmates were qualified to stay in an external hospital due to the severity of their illnesses, two policemen were still required to stand guard to prevent them from escaping. The warden made sure all the procedures were done accordingly, and he even came by yesterday to personally make sure everything was in order.

When they reached the ward, they saw that there wasn’t anyone there. The warden asked around and heard that the patient was undergoing some tests, so they all headed to the examination room. They then asked the nurse which examination room was Ling Wei in.

The nurse looked around and said that she was in the ultrasound room. Nan Cheng followed up with another question, “What illness is she having?”

“I’m not too sure.” Ultrasound was used to make an accurate diagnosis, so the nurse only knew that the patient was due for an ultrasound test without details of the illness.

“Let’s go.” Chief Wu instructed. Our main priority is to find her.

I’m pretty sure that Ling Wei isn’t even sick.

After they reached the ultrasound room, they breathed a sigh of relief because they saw two policemen standing guard at the door. Thank God they’re still there. Probably nothing bad happened.

“When did she go in? Are they still not done yet?” The warden asked.

One of the policemen answered, “She already went in for quite a while. She should be coming out soon.”

At that moment, Wang strolled towards them with a snack in his hands. When he saw Chief Wu, he immediately dropped what he was holding and tried to leave, but Nan Cheng caught hold of him.
