Chapter 579 - 577: It was you who took me away while they weren’t paying attention
Lu Xiao was taken away, and both Lu Jinyang and Xiao Qing left as well. Lu Minghao gripped the strands of hair in his hand, clenched his teeth, and turned to leave.
In the car, Xiao Qing buckled up preparing to catch up on some sleep, but Lu Jinyang suddenly spoke up, "Go for a meal?"
Xiao Qing yawned, her eyes still closed, and waved her hand, "No, I just want to go home and sleep."
He chuckled and pinched her cheek, "Weren’t you quite spirited just awhile ago?"
She struggled to open her eyes, then closed them again, "I used up all my energy just now, so I have none left now."
With Lu Xiao’s situation almost handled and the truth about the car accident five years ago now known, not to mention Leng Wanxi being caught, Xiao Qing felt like she truly had no more worries and naturally wanted to rest.
Who would have thought this man was so unrestrained last night!
"Alright, let’s go home."

Prison
This time, Leng Wanxi was truly locked up.
No one told her why she had to change rooms, no one informed her how long she would be detained, she was just brought here.
It was a single-person room, so small that it only had one small bed. She sat on it, leaning against the wall, lost in thought.
After an unknown amount of time, someone came to open the door, merely saying "Someone wants to see you" and then took her out.
Leng Wanxi didn’t resist; she knew that if she behaved well here, there might still be a possibility for her release.
Through the iron bars, Leng Wanxi saw a man and a woman opposite her. She showed little reaction, just faintly said, "Didn’t expect you to be the first to visit me."
Leng Yixing sat down with a cold expression, if it weren’t for Qin Huaixin insisting, he really wouldn’t want to see this woman again.
Seeing Leng Yixing silent, Leng Wanxi turned to Qin Huaixin, "Miss, it was your idea to come see me, wasn’t it?"
Qin Huaixin didn’t hide it and admitted openly.
After sizing Leng Wanxi up from head to toe, she said, "Leng Wanxi, this shouldn’t be the first time you’ve seen me, right?"
"Is that important?"
Qin Huaixin nodded, "Of course, because I simply can’t remember when we have met before."
"Heh~" Leng Wanxi scoffed coldly, of course, she didn’t know, she had been unconscious at that time, how could she possibly know?
Then Qin Huaixin spoke again, but she shifted the topic, "Lu Xiao has been arrested. Based on preliminary estimations, he’s likely to face the death penalty."
Leng Wanxi suddenly looked up in disbelief, "What did you say?"
"I said, the incident with Lu Xiao from five years ago has been exposed... Murder requires retribution, don’t you know?"
After a long silence, Leng Wanxi finally regained her voice, quietly asking, "He... killed someone?"
"Yes, he did. However, he had accomplices." Not waiting for Leng Wanxi’s reaction, Qin Huaixin continued: "Lu Xiao said, even if he dies, he won’t forgive the person who betrayed him. Leng Wanxi, let me remind you, Lu Xiao is also detained here, do you think you’ll get a chance to meet him during the yard time?"
Leng Wanxi’s whole body shook, and she quickly spoke up, "I don’t know what you’re talking about."
"Not knowing is fine, as long as Lu Xiao knows." Qin Huaixin’s gaze turned cold, her voice colder as well:
"Leng Wanxi, I really did not expect that five years ago, it was you who took me away when they were not paying attention. If not for you, Lu Jinyang and Qingqing wouldn’t have had an accident, and they wouldn’t have lost five years for no reason!"
