Chapter 904: Not From the Same World

“I can’t leave now.” Nian Xi ended the call.

How could she leave Jiang Yuning there and go home alone?

She was supposed to protect him.

She walked out of the room. Lawyer Mao, Uncle Han, and the others were still talking about the case in the living room. Seeing her, Uncle Han said, “Mr. Jiang’s parents are on their way here. They’ll probably arrive this afternoon. Thank you for taking care of us, the last couple of days. I have booked tickets for you, so you can leave this afternoon.”

Nian Xi was going to say something, but Zhan Hong interrupted her and said, “Mr. Han, we are so sorry that we couldn’t help.”

“Captain, did you agree to leave too?” Nian Xi couldn’t believe that.

“The Director called me,” said Zhan Hong with a complicated feeling. “He told us to go back. We are not helpful here, and there are other cases to be solved.”

“But…” Nian Xi didn’t want to go.

“This case is out of our reach. Our job is to keep him safe in Paris, and we did that,” Zhan Hong knew what she was thinking. He interrupted her again and said, “Trust me, Mr. Jiang will come home.”

“I know he will; he is wronged. But, how long?” Nian Xi looked at Uncle Han, wis.h.i.+ng to hear a positive answer from him.

“We’ll try to get him out in a couple of months.” Uncle Han sighed helplessly. “Those people are buying time, and these French people are trying to make things worse. You have your own work to do. It’s unnecessary for you to waste your time here. Don’t worry. Mr. Jiang works for the government, and the government won’t give up on him.”

Nian Xi fell silent.

Even Uncle Han told her to go. What could she possibly say?

If it happened in Xia City, she would be able to help, as her parents were both powerful. But away from home, she couldn’t do anything to help him.
