Chapter 142: find the murderer

Lu Xiangdong looked back to see a few police cars were already chasing after him. Su Mianmian refused to leave and stood in front of Liao Xiaoying's body. A policeman came in front of her and spoke. She didn't register what he said. Then, she followed the police officer into the police car.

Lu Xiangdong had originally planned to distract the police, but when he saw Su Mianmian get into the police car, he had no choice but to turn back.

Soon, he was surrounded by the police.

They arrived at the police station.

Su Mianmian kept her head down. She placed her hands on the table and remained silent.

A young policeman knocked on the table impatiently. "Miss, please cooperate and give a brief description of the situation. I need to make a record here."

"I don't know." She shook her head and refused to talk about the accident.

The young policeman was obviously new to interrogation. He let his temper take hold of him. He threw his pen aside and was about to teach her a lesson when someone knocked on the door. He got up to open the door, but the door opened anyway.

"Xiao Zhang, come here for a moment." The man, who was taller than the young policeman, waved him over.

"Leader, what's the matter?"

The man leaned down and whispered, "The person you're interrogating is very important. Let her go."

Xiao Zhang frowned and asked, "Who is this woman?"

"It's hard to say, the higher-ups have given the order. We'll do things according to the rules. Go quickly." The man patted Xiao Zhang's shoulder, smiled at Su Mianmian, and left.

Xiao Zhang rubbed his head and stepped back. He tidied up his desk and said to her, "You can go now."

Su Mianmian looked up at him and asked, "Why?"

"Do you want to stay here?" Xiao Zhang snorted and turned to leave. She hurriedly called out to him, "Has Lu Xiangdong also been caught?"

"Lu Xiangdong?" The young policeman chewed on the name carefully and then shook his head. "I'm not sure."

Su Mianmian was worried about Lu Xiangdong. After Xiao Zhang left, she fled the interrogation room in a hurry. However, she did not leave the police station immediately. Instead, she went looking for Lu Xiangdong.

When Lu Xiangdong was surrounded by the police, he pushed open the car door and got out. The policemen immediately became polite when they realized who he was.

Although Lu Xiangdong was at the police station, he was in the VIP lounge and the director was rushing over. He had rushed over as soon as he heard that the president of the NEPC International Airlines had entered the police station. He wondered if his subordinates had made a mistake. How could the president of the NEPC International Airlines be involved in a murder case?

It wasn't long before Lu Xiangdong found he couldn't sit still. He had sent someone to release Su Mianmian and he wondered how she was doing.

Su Mianmian knew that Lu Xiangdong had used his connections to get her out. She rationalized that, since he could find a way to get her out, there must be a way to help him get out.

She begged a policeman to take her to see Lu Xiangdong, but he simply shook his head in response and told her to hurry home.

She wouldn't leave until she saw Lu Xiangdong.

"Please, please make it easy for me. Let me see my husband."

The policeman shook his head again. "Miss Su, I advise you to go home. Even if you see President Lu, you may not be able to go back with him."

"Why? He has nothing to do with this case. Please let him go." Su Mianmian became anxious.

The policeman frowned. "Gentlemen commit crime just like any commoner. This case is still under investigation. President Lu can't go home with you for the time being."

Su Mianmian swallowed nervously. "How long will he have to wait? How long will you have to solve the case? He can't stay here forever!"

"Miss Su, please calm down. You'll have to leave now. If you continue to act like this, I will get someone to kick you out." The policeman gave a look to his men and dragged her out.

As she was being dragged away, Liao Xing walked into the police station, looking very pale. He saw Su Mianmian and cried out, "Miss Su, how did my daughter suddenly die? When I handed her over to you, she was fine. How could she die in the blink of an eye?"

Su Mianmian's entire body trembled. She looked at him and said nervously, "I'm sorry. There was a car accident. I didn't protect her. I'm very sorry."

"I don't want to listen to this nonsense. Have you found the murderer who killed my daughter?" Liao Xing looked at them hungry for information.

If he knew the truth, he would he kill Qi Chuyan. Su Mianmian was so scared that she didn't dare to reply.

"SPEAK! Who killed my daughter? Who killed her?" Liao Xing shook her shoulders and she felt dizzy.

"Director Liao, let Miss Su go. Your daughter's case is still under investigation," the policeman interrupted. Then, he smiled at him apologetically.

Liao Xing felt angry and sad. His only daughter had just died so suddenly. No matter what happened now, he had to find the murderer and avenge his daughter.

Su Mianmian clutched her wildly beating chest.

"Investigate! Investigate immediately. I want results." Liao Xing waved his hand and sat down on the sofa, lighting a cigarette for himself.

The police officers did not want to offend Liao Xing, so they quickly told Su Mianmian to leave.

Su Mianmian felt very guilty. After all, his daughter had been handed over to her. Now that she was gone, she felt terrible.

"Director Liao," she called out dryly.

Liao Xing ignored her; he lowered his head and continued to smoke.

"Director Liao, I know you hate me now, and hate that I didn't take good care of your daughter, but-"

He interrupted her. "Shut up! Don't mention my daughter in front of me anymore. From now on, I have nothing to do with you. You can leave now!" He threw the cigarette butt on the ground and stepped on it.

Su Mianmian closed her eyes and felt her heart ache. "I'm sorry. Whether you accept my apology or not, I should apologize to you. I'm sorry to you, I'm sorry to Yingying."

"I said don't mention my daughter anymore!" Liao Xing yelled.

"What right do you have to yell at her? If you really cared, you wouldn't have made Su Mianmian take care of your daughter for you." Lu Xiangdong appeared with the bureau chief. He had to stand up for her.

"What did you say?'' Liao Xing looked ready to beat up Lu Xiangdong.

Su Mianmian quickly stood in front of Lu Xiangdong. "Director Liao, he's in a bad mood. Don't pay attention to him."

Lu Xiangdong pulled her away and spoke to Liao Xing calmly, "Am I wrong? My wife has no obligation to help you look after your daughter. Now that something has happened, it's her fault? Who could have predicted that this car accident would happen? Could you have predicted that your daughter would die in a car accident?"

Su Mianmian looked nervously at Liao Xing, who was clenching his fists and looking like he was ready to fight to the death at any moment.

"Get lost! All of you, get lost! My daughter has nothing to do with the two of you!" Liao Xing turned his back to them.

The policeman beside him interjected, "CEO Lu is currently under investigation and can't leave for the time being. If there's nothing else we can do for you, you must leave the police station now."

Liao Xing turned around and punched the policeman in the face. Then, he grabbed his uniform and pushed him against the wall. "Who do you think you are? You dare to order me around? Don't assume that I won't break your legs for this!"

The policeman covered his face and said through gritted teeth, "If you don't let go, I will sue you for assaulting a police officer."

"Sue me! I'm really p*ssed off right now!"

The bureau chief who had been silent all this time finally spoke.

"Liao Xing, this is a police station. As a CEO, you should pay attention to your reputation. I'm ordering you, as the bureau chief, to stop this violence immediately."

Liao Xing pushed the police officer away from the wall and threw him at the bureau chief's feet. He shrugged his shoulders and laughed loudly, "Bureau chief, I'm telling you, you better find the murderer within two days. Otherwise, I will have your police station burned to the ground."

The chief glared at Liao Xing as he swaggered out of the police station.

"Director Lu, this way please." The chief immediately changed his expression and made an inviting gesture to Lu Xiangdong.

Before leaving, Lu Xiangdong pulled Su Mianmian to the side and whispered a few words to her.

Su Mianmian worried that he would be stuck in the police station for a while.

"Are you really going to be okay?"

"Yes, trust me. Go back home now." There were too many people here. He didn't want to arouse suspicion by talking to her for too long.

Su Mianmian nodded. All she could do was go home and wait for the news. She hoped that his plan would really work.

She took a taxi back alone. When she got out of the car, she saw Qi Chuyan standing in front of the villa. Qi Chuyan ran towards her, crying uncontrollably, and held her hand.

"Chengwu Su, how is brother Xiangdong? Why didn't he come back with you?"

Su Mianmian coldly shook off her hand. Her expression was slightly disgusted.

"How would I know? You were the one who sent him to the police station. Now you have the nerve to ask me?"

"I know I let brother Xiangdong down, but I haven't dared to leave the house these past few days! Please do me a favor and tell me." She shamelessly grabbed Su Mianmian's hand again and pleaded.
