Chapter 854 - Their Relationship (1/2)
Leaving De L'amour, Yue Ling and Lin Hui soon arrived at Imperial's police station. Both individuals stepped out of the car, with Yue Ling wearing a mask.
If it had been her in the past, she wouldn't have cared to wear a mask. However, this time, it was different.
Her identity as General Ji's granddaughter has been revealed to a few others and her relationship with Lu Tian. The last thing she wants is the media to use this as a scandal for her grandfather and Lu Tian.
As she headed for the entrance of the police station, Lin Hui quietly followed behind her.
He didn't ask her any questions regarding her sudden concealment. He knows that his boss didn't care about what the media had to say about her, but it was different for the ones she loves.
”Hello, I'm Officer Xin.”
Upon entering the building, the boss and subordinate were greeted by a female officer. She looked at Yue Ling and felt the woman look familiar but didn't remember from where.
She ponders for a long second but is unable to recall anything. She looks at Lin Hui and smiles.
”What can I help you with?”
Lin Hui stares at the woman with slightly creased eyebrows. He remembers her from the restaurant. She was one of the officers who came to the scene with Chief Ren.
”Ah, I guess you don't remember me. I'm here to write my statement regarding the incident this afternoon.”
Listening to his words, Officer Xin's eyes widen in surprise, and she gasps. She stares at Lin Hui and chuckles.
”Oh my. I'm so sorry. Follow me this way.”
She was taken aback because she and the other officers were joking about whether Lin Hui would show up at the police station. Surprisingly, he came as promised.
”Officer Xin, I'll take it from here.”
Just as Lin Hui was about to follow the female officer, an older man's voice sounded from the back of the building. The commotion in the room turned quiet, and no one dared to make a sound.
Officer Xin turned around to look at the person. When she saw who it was, she gestured a respectful bow.
”Chief Ren.”
Yue Ling looks at the elderly man and politely nods her head. Next to her, Lin Hui did the same but added a waving hand in greeting.
He crosses his arms over his chest and raises his chin with a confident face.
”See, I told you I would come in. I'm a man of my words.”
A cheerful laugh escapes Lin Hui's lip, and he points with his head to his boss.
”And I was able to bring her too.”
Chief Ren did not hear a single word Lin Hui said. His eyes were glued to the young woman wearing a mask.
Although he could only see her bluish-green eyes, he knew who she was without asking.
He turns away and walks towards the back of the police station.
”We can talk in my office.”
He stops in front of the door to his office and looks back at Officer Xin.
”If anyone comes to find me, tell them I am in a meeting with an important person.”
”Yes, sir.”
Officer Xin politely nods her head like a good subordinate. She steps aside so that Yue Ling can follow after Chief Ren. Behind her (Yue Ling), Lin Hui took a step forward but paused when he noticed something.
He scans his surroundings and sees that all the police officers in the room are as stiff as a board. Even Officer Xin, who was still in a bowing position.
His eyes glanced to the room Chief Ren, and his boss had entered. He shrugs his shoulders with a nonchalant expression and walks away.
Once the three people were out of view, the stiff air that surrounded the room returned to normal.
Officer Xin sighed in relief and walked over to her desk. She sat down and looked like she had survived a storm.
”What was that about?”
Another officer asked from across her desk, and she looked at the person. She thought about how to answer then glanced at the door of Chief Ren's office.
”I'm not sure but seeing how the Chief personally came out to greet them, they must not be ordinary people.”
She looks at everyone in the room, and her words continue.
”We should be cautious from now on and not make any mistakes.”
When Lin Hui mentioned the incident earlier at the restaurant, she remembered Chief Ren's words when they left the scene.
He (Chief Ren) told her and the other officers that they were going to be visited by a very important person.
However, who is the important person?
