Chapter 376 - It Does Not Belong to Me (1/2)

Xiao Luo sat in the interrogation room, sipping water from a disposable cup as he waited for someone from the NSA to arrive.

The policeman was in a cold sweat as he felt like being trapped in a cage with a ferocious beast. He hardly dared to even breathe and did his best to remain inconspicuous, staying perfectly still and quiet in the corner until it almost gave him pins and needles. He knew that his life would literally be snuffed out if anything went wrong. He kept looking at his watch, seeing the seconds tick away, and the ten minutes felt like a century to him. He prayed hard that his colleagues outside would realize that something was amiss inside the interrogation room and come in to check on him.

Xiao Luo paid no heed to the cowering policeman and drummed his fingers on the table rhythmically to pass his time.

It did not take too long before someone from the NSA walked into the interrogation room—it was Ji Siying. Her slender figure and appealing looks instantly made the policeman forget about his fears for a brief moment.

“Your wounds have healed?”

Xiao Luo put down the cup and walked toward her.

Ji Siying nodded and replied, “Yes, Mr. Xiao Luo, I am fine now.”

“That’s great,” Xiao Luo said.

Then, a middle-aged pot-bellied man walked in, and glancing at the unconscious horse-faced officer on the floor, he asked, “What’s wrong with Ma Lu?”

“He…he was knocked out b-by this man.”

That police pointed shakily at Xiao Luo and stuttered, “D-director, he broke free of the handcuffs… t-this man is very dangerous. N-no, no… he’s a monster, he should be put behind bars!”

A very dangerous man? A monster?

The director looked around the room and saw signs that a scuffle had broken out as the shattered remnants of the interrogation chair were strewn on the floor, and Ma Lu, out cold, was sprawling next to it. He glanced at Xiao Luo and observed that the chain that held his handcuffs together had broken in two. The shackles, meant to restrain him, still remained around his wrists and were now looking like a pair of bracelets.

“Director Lee, thank you, we are very grateful for your cooperation. Can we go now?” Ji Siying said.

The middle-aged man blinked and smiled as he turned to face her. “Yes, of course, you can.”

“Thank you.”

Ji Siying bowed slightly to express her gratitude and then proceeded to leave with Xiao Luo.

“Director, who are those people?” the policeman asked after the two left the interrogation room. He was dumbfounded, and his intelligence would be questioned if he did not already figure out that Xiao Luo was somebody connected.

“Who they are doesn’t concern you, what is important now is that you must forget everything that you saw in this room today. Nothing gets out of these four walls, understood?”

The director stared blankly at the door, thinking to himself, how many of these monsters have the NSA groomed?

“Lady Poison’s toxins are very potent, and you should have rested more.”

Xiao Luo took off the handcuffs and placed them under the front seat in Ji Siying’s car.

“Do you care about what happens to me, Mr. Xiao Luo?” Ji Siying asked, with a slight insinuation.

“Of course.”

Xiao Luo replied, then he quickly added, “You are my point of contact.”

“Oh… I see.”

Ji Siying forced a smile, and she thought about the time she visited Luo Village and how Xiao Luo’s parents had taken care of her, and even raised the issue of their marriage. When she found out that Xiao Luo was married to the superstar, Su Li, she was suddenly overcome by a sense of despair and loneliness. She couldn’t explain it, and at times, she even wanted to cry, unsure if her feelings for Xiao Luo were one-sided. How had this man become the possession of another in such a short time?
