158 The Second Time (1/2)

In the end, Hui Yin told the police officer about Lu Shen. They were then instructed to wait on a sofa in the lobby, with Lu Shen looking tense and anxious. His whole body was pressing close to hers, not even leaving enough space for a needle to insert itself between them.

Hui Yin pushed him away. ”Don't stick so close to me.”

There was a truculent set to his mouth as he moved away...for about two centimeters. His hand was still clutching the sleeve of her coat.

His total dependency on her made Hui Yin unable to accept that this man beside her was Lu Shen. When she first met him before knowing his identity, Hui Yin had thought that Fai was a total softie. But after knowing the true personality of that tyrant...it really made a person wonder. Who was the real him? This insecure man, or the domineering CEO who always wants to get his own way?

”They're not going to hurt you,” she explained to him again. ”They're just going to find your family, that's all.”

But he didn't seem to hear her reassurance. He was frowning as he gazed at the police officer sitting behind the desk. He was originally staring at them, but looked down when he met Lu Shen's gaze.

”I don't like him.” He really didn't like him. Anyone who separated him from her was a bad person.

”Don't be childish.”

After saying that, Hui Yin didn't pay attention to him anymore. She had recently discovered that the cherry blossom hairpin was pinned on her hair, and when she took it out, there were no traces of blood on its pointed end. She really couldn't believe that it worked, and even followed her back to the past. Being an actress who acted out several roles, Hui Yin felt that no script in the world could make her feel as magical as this hairpin.

”Miss Hui?” A police officer had called them.

Hui Yin stood up, and Lu Shen warily followed after her. There was a group of police officers approaching them, and the one on the front had a shoulder insignia of one pip with two silver bars. He must be the chief police officer.

His sharp stare lingered a bit on Lu Shen before it was directed on her.

”Miss Hui, we have already notified Mr. Lu's family about this matter. However, we still need to conduct a medical and psychological exam to know if Mr. Lu has been physically hurt or had suffered through any emotional trauma. We will also have to trouble you to stay inside the station for a brief interrogation. I'm certain that you know how highly sensitive this matter is, since any slight mistake on our part would reflect badly on our reputation in the future. I ask Miss Hui and Mr. Lu to give us a moment of your time.”

Hui Yin's eyebrows squeezed together. ”How long will this take?”

”Around three to four days.”

Three to four days! Hui Yin almost snapped the hairpin she was holding into two. It was acceptable if they wanted to hold Lu Shen for that long, but she didn't have the time! And what kind of interrogation would last that long? Did they think she was his abductor? Clean your eyes and notice her small and delicate figure, ah!

Lu Shen and Hui Yin said it both at the same time.

”No.”

Hui Yin objected as she didn't want to waste time, while Lu Shen objected because he didn't want to be parted from her. He didn't even want her to leave him for a second, not to mention three or four days.

It was easy to understand why Lu Shen was treating Hui Yin as his security blanket.

Without memories of his wealth and properties, without knowing who he was and his family, how could he bear to let go of the person who knew him?

She was the only one in the world he could call as 'his'. Other than her, he was completely alone.

He shuffled his feet to swallow the remaining 'two centimeters' distance between them.
