Chapter 510 The Turn of Events (4)
Yes, she has neither power nor influence, but she has a heart that loves him. She would do anything for him, even if it means her life, just as he treated her in their past life.
Therefore, she really paid no mind to Lu Ling’s words.
"Xue’er, have you finished talking to him?" Feeling Jiang Xue’s presence, the hostility on Mu Qiancheng’s body dissipated bit by bit.
"Yes, I’m done. It’s getting late; let’s go back," Jiang Xue nodded with a smile, gazing softly at Mu Qiancheng.
She knew why Mu Qiancheng was angry, knew he didn’t want people to speak ill of her. But she didn’t care because the life they lived was theirs. As long as Mu Qiancheng thought well of her, she could treat others’ words as though they were nothing.
"I’m afraid not!" Mu Qiancheng said with a smile, and without waiting for Jiang Xue to ask why, he continued, "We still need to make a trip to the police station."
Jiang Xue didn’t ask much; she could go anywhere as long as Mu Qiancheng was with her.
Thus, after leaving the Hailong Hotel, they went straight to the police station. With the evidence provided by Liu Yongfa, it was clear-cut evidence that Ming Lan had staged a murder and framed someone else. She was awaiting the law’s punishment.
As for why Mu Qiancheng still wanted to go to the police station, it was because he wanted to extract something from Ming Lan’s mouth. He planned to find something to occupy Lu Ling with, so she wouldn’t keep bothering him all day long.
Previously, he had thought about taking this opportunity to deal with Ming Lan and Lu Ling together. Unexpectedly, tonight Lu Ling didn’t accompany Ming Lan and thus escaped trouble.
Failing to resolve Lu Ling along with them made Mu Qiancheng somewhat unwilling, so he wanted to see if he could extract something more from Ming Lan.
When they arrived at the police station, most of the officers had already left for the day. Mu Qiancheng directly found the officer on duty, and then they were taken to the temporary holding cell where Ming Lan was kept.
Ming Lan was held alone in a cell, looking utterly desolate. She had meticulously planned tonight’s events, yet she did not expect Jiang Xue to escape eventually. Instead, she was the one caught.
She had thought things over repeatedly on the way but couldn’t figure it out. Finally, she simply stopped thinking and waited to see if Jiang Xue would come so she could directly ask her.
However, it didn’t take long before she heard footsteps and saw Jiang Xue along with Mu Qiancheng.
Seeing Jiang Xue, Ming Lan wished she could tear her apart. However, with Mu Qiancheng beside her, she dared not; she could only glare at her fiercely, as if wanting to bore several holes into her body.
"Second Madam Jiang, are you alright?" Jiang Xue looked at Ming Lan with a smile, blatantly ignoring the unwillingness and hatred in her eyes.
To be honest, she didn’t want to be so ruthless, but Ming Lan wasn’t willing to let her go.
"Jiang Xue, why did you come? To see my misfortune?" Ming Lan started speaking with resentment in her voice, not believing Jiang Xue came just to see her.
After all, if not for Mu Qiancheng’s and others’ arrival and the so-called evidence, the person in jail right now could have been her.
Ming Lan didn’t think Jiang Xue was a saint who, after such a confrontation, would kindly come to see her. There was no reason for Jiang Xue to appear, and yet she did; Ming Lan couldn’t think of any reason other than for her to see her misfortune.
"Second Madam Jiang, I have no interest in witnessing your misfortune. I’ve come merely to let you understand a bit more clearly before you die."
