502 Its Good That Wesve Cleared the Air (1/2)
They sat in front of the officer, ready to get their statement recorded.
”Raise your head.”
The police officer barked a command at Xuxu as he looked at her.
Xuxu softly responded with an 'uh' and slowly lifted her head. She was nervous and her hands clenched tightly into fists on her lap.
When she revealed her face, it didn't surprise her when the police officer looked visibly stunned and dumbfounded. ”You… you…”
”Shhh.” Xuxu whispered, ”Please lower your volume.”
”Oh… okay,” he indistinctly mumbled and nodded. He was nervous and anxious as he stammered. ”You… hmmm... wait here.”
His tone was completely different.
He stood up and walked to a different desk and whispered to a colleague who was recording a suspect's statement.
She noticed that the other police officer instantly widened his eyes.
As he glanced at Xuxu, she quickly lowered her head to conceal her face.
The two officers had a hushed and quick conversation. One of them left with his phone to make a call.
After he came back, he politely said to Xuxu, ”Our chief invites you to his office.”
”What's this situation?” Xuxu was dumbstruck for a moment before nodding. ”Oh… Okay.”
She knew that this Chief wanted to pull some strings under the table. Even though she detested such behavior, she knew that she was innocent and her conscience was clear.
Going to the Chief's office was much safer as the chances of being recognized were much lower than staying in the main office.
The police chief's office was spacious, but plentiful drawers and cupboards occupied it.
The officer gestured towards a black leather couch. He politely said to Xuxu and Zhou Shuang, ”Have a seat and I'll get you a drink.”
