Chapter 140 - Unexpected

The next few minutes after calling He Jian, Mo Roulan just spent in a daze.

She sat there silently on her chair as she watched everything being turned on.

The interrogation that was going to take place inside the cell never occurred. Just two minutes later, she put down the phone, the door of the cell opened.

The same policewoman who had pushed Mo Roulan inside the cell stepped inside and looked at Mo Roulan with a complex look in her eyes.

Mo Roulan didn't mind her curious eyes.   

It was something expected after what she had done.

"Senior Inspector Meng, there will be no investigation on this case anymore."

The policewoman told Meng Zeidong who seemed to have expected these words and had already started to pick his packed bag and phone.

"Miss Mo, It was nice to meet you again."

Said Inspector Meng to Mo Roulan with a throaty chuckle which became awkward when Mo Roulan didn't reciprocate his smile.   

She just nodded her head and mumbled a small 'thanks' that was only audible to Inspector Meng with a blank face.

Meng Zeidong was happy thinking that what he did was right so he happily left the prison cell.

On the other hand, the policewoman looked at Mo Roulan for a moment silently and then said very rudely

"You…also come with me."

After that, she turned around and left the cell without caring whether Mo Roulan was really following her or not.

Mo Roulan sighed lightly and stood up from her chair. 

She walked out of the cell and followed the policewoman in hurry.

"These are the papers for my client's bail and these are the documents that are required for seeing the evidence the police has against my client."

The lawyer presented a stack of documents to the police officer who immediately waved his hand and said while wiping his forehead with his handkerchief

"No need. There is no need of all this, Sir. We do understand that we have done some mistakes. Do not worry; we will look into this matter again."

However, the lawyer smiled gently as he pushed his glasses and insisted

"How can it be? You have arrested my client so suddenly and in so much hurry. Then you must have very solid evidence proving her crimes. I just need to check it so that I can prepare for the worse."   

The police officer gulped as he looked at the lawyer and the man standing behind the lawyer. A moment later, he said finally

"Sir, we actually were asked by Shen family to arrest this girl. They showed the police some photos and said that Miss Mo has forced their daughter to do drugs with her. So we…"

"So you arrested her without any solid evidence."

The lawyer completed the police officer's words with a smile playing on his lips.

From his behind, a pair of cold blue eyes observed the police officer. Amidst this, they suddenly narrowed and suddenly glanced sideways and stopped at the person entering the room at this moment.

He Jian watched as a fluffy head followed the policewoman inside the room.

A warm feeling suddenly emerged inside his heart. 

She stood there silently with lowered head. He also glanced down to see in what she was so immersed but his eyes went sharp and cold when he saw the handcuffs on her wrists.

Mo Roulan was lost in her own thoughts. She didn't notice where she was because she was too busy to worry about something.

She was worried that her mother already knew about everything and she did everything just too late.

"Unlock it right now."

A deep familiar voice made her come out of her trance and she raised her head with a startled expression on her face. 

A pair of blue eyes came into sight and Mo Roulan for a moment breathed sharply.

She didn't move at all as the policewoman unlocked the handcuffs on her hands. However, a hiss escaped from her lips when the handcuffs were being removed from her wrists.   

Her wrist was grasped in a firm hold. 

The warm touch on her cold hands made her flinch but her hand was still held firmly.

"Shhh…let me see."

The gentle voice fell in her ears and she remained silent and unmoving. She let him check what he was checking as she looked at his concentrated face.

"You are here."

She couldn't help but say it out still unable to believe that he was here.

Although she had expected him to help her, she had not expected him to come here personally for her.

She didn't notice the frown on the man's face when she said these words.

He Jian's looked at the girl in front of her. He caressed the reddened area of her wrist gently and looked into her eyes as if trying to comprehend what she was thinking about.

A moment later, he whispered

"Yes, I am here. You called me. How could I not come?"

A very small smile emerged on the corner of his lips and his blue eyes were filled with a new shine as he saw Mo Roulan lowering her head.

"Yes"

He heard the soft whisper.

She admitted. This time she accepted her words.

She didn't say that she doesn't need his help.

He Jian was very happy. 

"Let's go."

He said gently and then took Mo Roulan out of the police station by holding her wrist carefully.

Mo Roulan didn't oppose him.

She obediently sat inside the car when he opened the door for her.

The car started and drove away from the police station. 

------     

Lin Qianru sighed lightly after she covered the final dish made for dinner.

She glanced towards the clock. There was still some time before Mo Roulan would return from her part-time job. However, as soon as this thought came to her mind, she heard the doorbell of her apartment ringing continuously.

Startled because of the sudden and continuous sound, she was confused for a moment and then she ran towards the door with a frown.

This is not how Mo Roulan rings the doorbell. And, Mo Roulan does not even ring the doorbell she just fills in the password and then enters the apartment.

It seems that it was someone else at the door.

Wiping her still wet hands with her apron, she opened the door. Although she was feeling a bit irritated because of the continuous sounds of the doorbell, there was still a polite smile on her lips.

However, even that polite smile disappeared from Lin Qianru's lips when saw four men dressed in police uniform at her door.

"Is this the apartment where Miss Mo Roulan lives?"

Lin Qianru was confused when she heard the policemen mentioning her daughter's name. The next moment she thought that something might have happened to her daughter so she said immediately

"Yes, Mo Roulan…she is my daughter. Is everything alright?"

The head policemen looked at Lin Qianru with a wooden expression on his face. A moment later, he opened his mouth and was about to say something when he suddenly shut it again. His hand went towards his pocket and he took out his phone that was vibrating nonstop.

He glanced at the name and seeing that it was a phone call from his senior officer, he immediately picked up the call.

No one knew what the other side said to the man but the expression on his face changed many times in the span of the few seconds he was on the phone call.

The first thing that the man did after putting down the phone was bowing in front of Lin Qianru with a very strange expression on his face.

"Apologies Madam. It seems that we have done some mistake and recognized the wrong person."       

"Oh"

Lin Qianru mumbled but she still looked very confused about everything. She stood at the same spot even after the police left.

A deep frown marred her smooth forehead.

'Something didn't seem to settle with the whole situation.' Thought Lin Qianru.

'If that man really made a mistake…then how did he know the name of Roulan.' 

Lin Qianru bit her lips as she pondered over this fact. Her hand reached out to close the door but her eyes suddenly caught something. 

A folded paper was lying just outside the door.

Lin Qianru bent down and picked it up. She unfolded the paper and her hands trembled when she read what was written on the paper.

It was a search warrant...the police had come here to search her apartment.

Why?

A bad premonition rose inside her heart as she remembered the policemen mentioning her daughter's name.

Lin Qianru hurriedly went inside and searched for her phone. The first thing she did, when she found her phone, was to call Mo Roulan.

'Everything must be fine.'

She comforted herself inside her heart as she called Mo Roulan but no one picked up the call.

Lin Qianru was going crazy with worry because she just couldn't let the policewomen's words out of her mind after seeing the search warrant of her apartment.

So she decided to go out and look for Mo Roulan.

She first went to Mo Chen's room and when she saw that Mo Chen was sleeping, she closed the door of his room.

After that, she locked the apartment and then went inside the elevator.

All this while, she never stopped trying calling Mo Roulan.

After getting out of the elevator, she thought of calling to the house where Mo Roulan tutors..  However, she didn't need to do so any monger when she saw the scene in front of her eyes.
