The Art of Pursuing: The Unyielding Ex-wife
Chapter 371: Why do I feel like you’re even more scared than me?
CHAPTER 371: CHAPTER 371: WHY DO I FEEL LIKE YOU’RE EVEN MORE SCARED THAN ME?
No need to say it, Munni guessed that she probably reported to Xu Yisen through a phone call from Liang Jiuchen just now when she was giving her statement.
Xu Yisen carefully looked Munni up and down, and only after confirming she wasn’t injured did he breathe a sigh of relief, pulling Munni into his embrace.
One of his hands held Munni tightly, while the other gently patted her back as if trying to comfort her fearful emotions.
However, Munni was not scared at all.
She nestled amusingly into Xu Yisen’s arms and teased, "Why do I feel like you’re more scared than I am?"
Xu Yisen, still shook, answered softly, "I just finished a meeting when I got a call from Jiuchen saying that you and your bodyguard were ganged up on and are now at the police station."
He mistakenly thought Munni had been beaten just now and was worried she would get injured, so Xu Yisen hurriedly rushed to the police station.
Fortunately, she was alright, which finally let Xu Yisen’s heart settle down.
"I’m fine, don’t be nervous."
Munni imitated him, reaching out to gently pat his back to soothe his emotions.
After a while, Xu Yisen slowly released Munni from his embrace and said softly, "Let’s go home."
"Okay."
Munni let him hold her hand as they got in the car.
Tang Haoliang was sitting in the driver’s seat. When he saw Xu Yisen get in the car, he respectfully said, "Chairman, the few troublemakers’ urine tests were positive. I’ve already spoken with the commissioner; they will be well taken care of."
Xu Yisen nodded in satisfaction and then instructed, "Let’s go back first."
"Yes, Chairman."
On the way, Xu Yisen held Munni’s hand tightly.
Munni amusingly watched his seemingly insecure gesture and held his hand back without letting go.
The families of Bai Sitong and her friends, upon receiving the news, rushed to the police station with lawyers, trying to get their kids back home from the station.
However, the police were unusually assertive this time and did not show any leniency, refusing to let anyone go even in the face of bribes.
Finally, a police officer helplessly hinted to an acquaintance trying to use connections, "There’s an order from above to investigate this matter thoroughly; sneaking through the back door isn’t possible, and those caught for using drugs won’t have it easy either."
The implication was a polite way of saying that detention was likely unavoidable.
Even without being able to pull strings, somehow the media got wind of the event where people were caught in a KTV for fighting and using drugs and brought to the station.
When the media arrived at the police station, they saw one familiar face after another, mostly figures well-known in G City, which made them even more excited, knowing they had a sensational hot news story to report.
Xu Yisen, worried that Munni was startled, strongly insisted on staying at Munni’s place tonight to accompany her.
As for his request, Munni had a different view; she thought Xu Yisen was just being shameless and trying to take advantage again.
In the end, she couldn’t argue with Xu Yisen and agreed to let him stay at her place tonight, but he couldn’t sleep in her room and would stay in the guest room where he usually slept.
Seeing that he had reached his limit, Xu Yisen naturally wouldn’t overreach.
After all, some things can be done discreetly at night without resisting now.
Back home, Munni went to her room to take a shower, while Xu Yisen instructed Tang Haoliang to go to the dessert shop and buy some desserts.
Even if they didn’t go to KTV with friends to have fun, he and Munni could still have a pleasant evening together.
