Chapter 144: Dangerous Heretics Handling Bureau (1/2)

The moment Ji An released Liu Jiayi, Liu Jiayi’s expression immediately changed and she became the confused little girl who lost her father.

She seemed reluctant to part with Ji An’s warm embrace. She gently moved her arms to hug Ji An but she soon realized it was wrong. Thus, she let go again deftly and nervously.

Liu Jiayi let go of her hands and shyly pulled down her clothes. Tears were still hanging from her trembling eyelashes.

These small movements made Liu Jiayi look completely like a little girl who was very upset after losing her close relatives. This made Ji An’s expression soften.

Mu Sicheng saw all of this and his expression became even more complicated and strange, “……”

He didn’t think it was a surprise that Liu Huai was played by Liu Jiayi.

Liu Jiayi’s acting was worthy of an Oscar. The child went from brewing emotions to crying in less than a second.

Mu Sicheng wanted to wake up Ji An. The little girl she thought was pitiful and lovely jumped down from the sixth floor without blinking just three minutes ago. Did she think this little girl would go all the way to a policeman’s house and find his wife just because the little girl didn’t have a father?

In addition, this little girl’s original plan was to kidnap and threaten Ji An’s husband to have him tell them where Bai Liu was.

Now seeing Ji An trying to appease Liu Jiayi, a chill went down Mu Sicheng’s back and he couldn’t help rubbing his arms.

This was terrible! What type of people had Bai Liu found for the team?!

“I rarely get involved in Su Yang’s work. His work is highly confidential and I don’t know what he is doing.” Ji An was coaxed by Liu Jiayi. She was still wary but her tone started to relax. “However, I can ask for you. If he is willing to speak, I can help give you the address. You are relatives of the prisoner and should be able to visit the prison.”

“If it is your father who is caught, who is this man who came with you?” Ji An looked at Mu Sicheng suspiciously.

Before Mu Sicheng could open his mouth, Liu Jiayi quickly answered, “He is my father’s friend.”

Ji An was ready to ask a few questions when there was a knock on the door again.

Mu Sicheng quickly touched Liu Jiayi’s hand. Before Ji An could react, they entered the baby’s room and locked the door.

Ji An anxiously knocked twice and shook the handle. She couldn’t open it. The key to the baby’s room was still in Mu Sicheng’s hand!

She couldn’t get in from outside unless Mu Sicheng opened the door.

Liu Jiayi’s weak voice came from inside in a timid manner. “Big Sister, as long as you help ask about my father Bai Liu, we won’t hurt your child. I swear.”

Ji An’s panic slightly weakened when she thought about how Liu Jiayi saved her child and Mu Sicheng saved her. She stood in front of the baby’s room for a long time before she was ready and opened the door.

This time it wasn’t Su Yang.

The person standing outside the door was a young man who was dressed very simply.

Ji An knew the watch on the young man’s hand. She had seen it on a TV show and it was said to cost millions. The young man’s appearance was exquisite, his clothes were carefully taken care of and there was a pair of well-made glasses on the bridge of his nose. He wasn’t very tall but he gave people a domineering momentum at first glance.

The man looked almost as tall as her and didn’t feel very aggressive. Ji An, who had already experienced a night attack, was much calmer. There was also an adult male hiding in the baby’s room that didn’t look like he had low strength.

Mu Ke was wearing black leather gloves and carried two black briefcases locked with a code.

“I am.” Ji An nodded hesitantly as she looked at the briefcases carried by Mu Ke. “What do you want with him?”

Mu Ke held up a briefcase and turned the password lock a few times. Then he opened it slightly to let Ji An take a look. It was a briefcase full of gold bars.

Ji An looked at Mu Ke with astonishment. “This is?!”

“Can I go in and talk to you?” Mu Ke shook the briefcases in his hands and smiled politely. “After all, these two briefcases that your husband wants aren’t light. It also isn’t very safe for me to be standing outside the door and carrying this.”

Ji An stepped aside and let Mu Ke in. “Please come in.”

The bright golden light that she had seen just flashed in her mind. Ji An was still a bit dizzy when she sat down. She never dreamed that someone would come to her with two briefcases of gold bars in the middle of the night!

“What do you mean by saying that these two briefcases are what my husband wants?” Ji An asked sharply.

“You should ask your husband.” Mu Ke sat on the sofa, his hands on his knees as he smiled at the opposite Ji An. “Ask him why he condoned his team members arresting an ordinary person who hasn’t committed any crime at all and then came to me, the ordinary man’s rich friend, to ask for a sky-high bail?”

“No way.” Ji An didn’t hesitate to deny it. “Su Yang wouldn’t do such a thing!”

Su Yang hadn’t done such a thing but this didn’t prevent Mu Ke from presupposing that he had done such a thing and using it to set up Ji An.

“Did he really not do it?” Mu Ke’s eyes were lukewarm and the smile on his face remained steady. “Then why was my friend arrested? At around 10 o’clock this evening, Su Yang’s team members came to my villa and warned me to pay the bail quickly, or they would arrest me as an accomplice.”

Ji An clenched her hands and bit her lower lip.

Tonight at 10 o’clock, Su Yang had called her to say that the team members were suddenly going to a rich area for a special task that was given temporarily.

Su Yang’s tone was very frustrated when he said he couldn’t come back at night. He said his captain had them arrest people despite there being no clear clues in the case.

Why start arresting people before the case was clear?

Su Yang also said their captain hadn’t been right recently. They captured a lot of people who hadn’t done anything…

Her eyes fell on the two briefcases of gold bars on the table. Mu Ke opened the briefcases and the golden light immediately spread in Ji An’s vision.

Then Ji An quickly took back her gaze like she had been scalded. Her fists clenched and she stood up, nervously pacing back and forth in the room.

“Impossible!” Ji An’s chest moved up and down and she closed her eyes in order to not look at the gold bars on the tea table and Mu Ke on the sofa. “Su Yang isn’t such a person! Take away the gold bars!”

“What is your recent economic situation? This second-hand apartment isn’t very safe. You have long planned to change to a new house but your funds can’t keep up. After all, a newborn requires too much money.”

Even with her eyes closed, Mu Ke’s voice clearly entered Ji An’s ears. “The birth of a child will make your thoughts and values start to change. Aren’t you very different after becoming a mother? For the sake of your child, you are willing to do many things you didn’t want to do before, right?”
