Chapter 847 - Have To Go (1/2)

Lin Hui stood dumbfounded. He heavily sighs and massages the back of his neck in frustration.

All he did was save a damsel in distress. Why is the manager making him out to be the bad guy?

Just as the question came to him, the sound of police sirens echoes from outside the restaurant.

Lin Hui arches his eyebrows in amusement. He could see two police vehicles parked outside through the glass entrance door as the officers step into view.

Leading the group was an elderly man in a clean uniform, with the remaining four officers following behind.

As they entered the restaurant, the elderly officer scans the area before settling his eyes on the manager.

He takes out his badge and shows his identification, then looks down at Chen Xincheng. The man was still unconscious despite all the noise.

”I am Ren Chang from Imperial's Police Force. I received a call about a disturbance.”

The manager's eyes widen, and he wanted to faint. First, there was a dispute between Lin Hui and Chen Xincheng, and now, the Chief of Police shows up.

”I called.”

Amid the manager's thoughts, Lin Hui nonchalantly raises his hands and smiles at Chief Ren. He points down to where Chen Xincheng laid unconscious and let out a sarcastic chuckle.

”He was trying to kidnap this woman by force. I had no choice but to intervene.”

He explains the entire situation from start to finish. However, Chief Ren's expression was no different from Grandfather Ji's. Stern and unfriendly.

Chief Ren stares at Lin Hui for a long second before gesturing to his subordinates.

”Put him in the car and take him to the station.”

”Miss Qin, I truly apologize for what happened to you. Although you have experienced a traumatizing incident, I have to bring you in for a statement.”

Qin Xue was no longer afraid. When she heard the sirens, she already knew that she had to go to the station to explain.

However, if her statement can help other women from falling into Chen Xincheng's schemes, she will gladly give a statement.

”I will do it.”

She gives her approval, and a police officer guides her to the car. She walks out of the restaurant but stops when she was about to pass Lin Hui.

Her head turns to him, and she smiles with a slight bow.

”Thank you for helping me. I hope our paths cross again so I can repay you.”

Lin Hui felt his heart skip a beat seeing Qin Xue's captivating smile. It was a feeling he had never felt before, but he kept his calm and smile.

”No need to thank me. I was glad to help.”

After all, how can two strangers whose paths crossed once will ever cross again?

Lin Hui watched as Qin Xue enters the police vehicle, and he heaves a sigh. He would have given her his name, but anyone can tell that she is out of his league.

However, the more he looks at her, the more he feels he has seen her somewhere but can't remember where.

He shakes away the unexplainable feeling in his heart and looks at Liu Ye.

”Let's go.”

He and Liu Ye headed out of the restaurant, but someone grabs the back of his jacket, and he is yanked back.

He stumbles a few steps, but with his quick reflexes, he was able to stable himself. He glares murderously at the person who dared to make such a move on him.

”Hey, old man, are you trying to kill me? Didn't you hear? I have to go.”
