After Tang Shaofeng was brought away, the mansion which was bustling with activity a moment ago, once again became empty and quiet.
Xia Wan, who was worried for Tang Shaofeng, had been covering his face and crying the entire time. Xia Wan's heart seemed to have become empty as his dull and lifeless eyes concentrated on the ground.
After a long while, when Xia Wan lifted her head and heard her soft sobs, she also became very depressed, but she still consoled softly, "Auntie, don't be sad anymore, didn't Little Feng already say so? He will be fine! "
Hearing that, Xiao Hui looked at Xia Wan with teary eyes, and then nodded heavily at him. Shaofeng will be fine, I want to be stronger, in any case, Shaofeng is innocent, I'm not afraid! "
The tip of his nose stung, Xia Wan resisted the urge to cry and gently embraced Xiao Hui.
Since Tang Shaofeng wasn't by their side, the two women had no backbone. Thus, they could only support each other and support each other.
After a long while, Xiao Hui finally became alert, and became suspicious: Why did Tang Shaofeng suddenly return home.
"Little Wan, why did you suddenly come back when you said that Shaofeng was not staying in the Police station to be investigated? That battle just now really scared me to death. Those who don't know it might think that Little Feng is running away! "
Hearing Xiao Hui's question, Xia Wan felt an inexplicable sense of guilt, but she also didn't know the reason for Tang Shaofeng's sudden return home.
Her heart sank when she looked around and saw no sign of Ol 'Six beside her. She couldn't help but wonder: Was Ol' Six still looking for her at the same place as before?
Thinking about it, Xia Wan was very uneasy, and felt that she had let down the Sixth Elder, who was responsible for everything, so she prepared to give the other party a call to inform him that she was safe and sound, and ask the Sixth Brother to come back quickly.
However, just as she was about to get up, a few unfamiliar men with cigarette butts in their mouths walked in from outside.
Frowning, Xia Wan shielded herself in front of Xiao Hui with a face of caution, and asked with a clear and cold tone: "Who are you? Without the permission of the owner, who allowed you to come in? "
The leading young man smiled humbly, then immediately explained with a friendly attitude: "Sister-in-law, you misunderstand, us brothers are not bad people, it was Sixth Master who told us to come!"
Raising an eyebrow, Xia Wan asked with even more confusion: "Old Six told you guys to come? What about him? "Where is he?"
Taking the cigarette butt off his mouth, the man continued patiently: Didn't you lose it at noon? Sixth Master was anxious, afraid that something would happen to you, so I went to Police station, but Police station's group were too strict with their work, and did not allow brother Tang to come out and find you. When Sixth Master thought of his schemes, he brought a group of brothers to cause trouble, and only then did brother Tang get the chance to sneak out!
The stunned and emotionally moved Xia Wan could not help but raise her hand to cover her mouth. Her eyes that gradually reddened, were filled with guilt and self-blame.
So it turned out that Tang Shaofeng had suddenly come back to inquire about her condition, and it was because she had hidden the matter of his going to see Xiao Muting.
Seeing Xia Wan not say anything for a long time, the man then added: "Currently, Sixth Master and our brothers have been educated and will be locked up for a few days before being released. That's why I brought some people to take over the Sixth Master's mission to protect you!"
Nodding his head, Xia Wan's heart felt like it was being weighed down by a heavy weight.
She looked at the door far away, thinking back to when Tang Shaofeng had been handcuffed by the police before he was taken away. She could not help but worry about his current situation.
If it were not for her causing trouble for him, Tang Shaofeng would not have caused too much trouble. How could she not overcome her mental barrier, not go to see Xiao Muting, and not burden him?
Biting his lips, Xia Wan's eyes were filled with tears as he silently cursed in his heart: Tang Shaofeng, you idiot! Couldn't he take care of himself? Why worry about everything? I'm so stupid! It's not worth it for you to be so desperate.
Inside the solemn Police station, Tang Shaofeng was sitting opposite of the officer in charge of handling Fang Lan's case in the interrogation room.
The atmosphere was oppressive, the officer's face was extremely ugly. Because Tang Shaofeng's previous actions were too preposterous and had an adverse effect, he was unable to maintain his good temper.
"Mr. Tang! I am a straightforward person, you did not listen to my advice just now, and insisted on walking out of Police station, this is truly going too far! "
Being lectured by a police officer, Tang Shaofeng nodded his head lightly. How could he not know that he had done this just now.
However, being born and becoming a person, there would always be times where he was unable to control himself and had no choice but to do so.
From the moment the police chased him to the house and handcuffed him, he knew he would not be treated with courtesy, so he was prepared.
"Even if you are a well-known person in Zhenjiang city, I will not give you any more face. If you are involved in the murder case, no matter how powerful you are, you will never be able to make use of it. "I don't have any privileges here, only whether you are fit to cooperate with the investigation or not, and whether your attitude is good or not."
Nodding again, Tang Shaofeng looked at the police officer slowly, "I understand the logic behind your words, but a police officer is a person, there has to be a time when he has no choice, right? My wife was just lost, and Xia Xue did not appear again after a while. I was really worried that my wife would fall into her hands again, and thus, had no choice but to run out and look for her.
Hearing Tang Shaofeng's sincere words that were reasonable, the officer pursed his lips. His expression became slightly gentler, but he did not change his severity.
"I can understand your feelings, but since you are being held as a criminal suspect, every move you make will have to be done right under our noses. Therefore, please take responsibility of yourself and do not give us any additional difficulty in handling this case! "
Understanding the meaning behind the officer's words, Tang Shaofeng smiled lightly, "Officer, I have already considered all these in advance, that's why I need to borrow a police car to travel. Firstly, it's to help you quickly find me. Secondly, it's not only equipped with traffic records, it should also be monitored inside the car. If you suspect that I've done something related to the case while I was away from Police station, you can call out the surveillance for a look. "
He never thought that Tang Shaofeng would be so wise and smart, the officer was slightly surprised.
But in the next second, his expression returned to normal. After all, in front of Tang Shaofeng, he represented absolute fairness and rigour.
Pulling back his chair, he seemed to have truly wanted to confirm that had not made any mistakes while he was gone. However, he was afraid that Tang Shaofeng would be complacent, so he warned him once again: "Even if you are thoughtful, doing this kind of thing, you definitely won't allow it!"
Tang Shaofeng laughed but did not speak, and only made a gesture to do as he pleased.
After waiting for about half an hour, he looked at the officer as he returned to the interrogation room. Is there a problem? "
Hearing that, the police officer's eyes were bitter, he unhappily rolled his eyes at Tang Shaofeng, and then replied in an embarrassed tone: "No problem, but I won't give you an example next time! You can't do it again, okay? "
Nodding his head, Tang Shaofeng was as obedient as a sensible child, causing the police officer to fall into a strange silence.
He seemed to be thinking: For a man as meticulous as Tang Shaofeng, even if there was a connection between him and the murder case, he wouldn't leave any traces. Otherwise, it wouldn't fit the other party's high IQ.
Sensing the officer's probing gaze, Tang Shaofeng laughed in reply. He looked calm and composed, as if he was not in Police station but in his own office.
As such, the officer felt even more confused. His expression seemed to be asking: Is Tang Shaofeng really a suspect?
Early the next morning, the old mansion was greeted by a group of uninvited guests.
It turned out that ever since Tang Shaofeng had been involved in the murder case and was detained and investigated, some of the puppies had always been hiding nearby his home.
Yesterday, Tang Shaofeng had gone against the rules and returned home, so naturally, he was caught by the puppies. Thus, early in the morning, all the major media reporters had blocked the old house so that not even a drop of water could trickle through.
"Sister-in-law, you and madam shouldn't go out today, right?" The young people that Ol 'Six sent to protect Xia Wan were unable to stop the media from having too many people to chase them away, so they could only try to reconcile with the situation.
Her gaze was fretful as she glanced at the door. Xia Wan asked with a displeased tone: "These people are practically everywhere! "He doesn't know how to respect others!"
Seeing that Xia Wan's mood was not good, Xiao Hui was worried about the baby in her opponent's stomach, so she volunteered to pat her chest, "Hey, if we don't show our heads, they won't leave! I'll send them away, and you stay in the house and don't go out. "
Without waiting for Xia Wan to reject him, Xiao Hui had already reached the door.
Having been careful, she closed the door as soon as she got out of the house.
It took Xiao Hui a while to get used to the flashing lights. Before she could say anything, the reporters asked her questions one after another.
"Mrs. Shaw, how is the progress of your son's recent murder case? Yesterday, he was chased by the police to his home. Was it because he was found guilty and refused to be arrested? "
"Mrs. Shaw, may I ask why your son wants to behead his wife's stepmother? Do you have any secrets between her and his wife?"
"Mrs. Shaw, what is the current situation in President Tang? If he drove away after criminal detention, wouldn't that increase his suspicion? Would he be able to escape unscathed this time? Also, President Tang openly drove his police car through the streets, trying to attract attention. Wasn't this way too brazen? Would you please give the public an explanation? "
Listening to the reporters trying to cover it up, playing catch and leading by the public, Xiao Hui was so angry that her lungs were about to explode.
If she wasn't born of a good family and was used to this kind of situation, she would probably turn into a shrew and stomp her feet while cursing.
Therefore, when the reporters began to express their doubts, she gave them a leisurely reply, "First of all, I am very grateful for everyone's concern towards us. But this is all I can tell you, and please respect the privacy of others and not interfere too much in my son's private affairs. "
"I believe my son is innocent. He is in good shape at the moment, and the police have no substantial evidence to prove his guilt, so please don't make any more statements that my son is a murderer. "Secondly, my son violated the rules by returning home because my daughter-in-law accidentally left yesterday. My son is worried about the safety of his wife, this is a natural thing to do, I hope everyone understands."
After saying all that, Xiao Hui was unwilling to reveal any more and she immediately returned to the house swiftly.
Since they had already received the news, the reporters had no reason to stay any longer and dispersed one by one.
