Chapter 105: Superiors Say No Visits
Ji Xiangyu sped up the accelerator, running two red lights consecutively. With an emergency brake, everyone lurched forward, then stumbled back.
After Qing Tian took a deep breath, she placed her hand on Ji Xiangyu’s hand gripping the steering wheel. She looked at him with a gentle gaze and said softly, “Don’t drive too fast, be careful!!”
Ji Xiangyu’s previously tense heart settled. While the light was red, he brought Qing Tian’s hand to his lips and kissed it. Qing Tian, feeling embarrassed by his kiss, tried to pull her hand back. In the next moment, she actually did pull it back, but the kiss had already landed.
Huzi and Song Shishi, sitting in the back, were stunned. After exchanging glances, they pretended nothing happened and continued to sit there.
However, they both felt like a hundred-watt light bulb.
The car started again, and then stalled again.
The four of them got out of the car and looked up. The words “Police Station” stood prominently before them.
Seeing these words, for some reason, Qing Tian felt a sense of gloom and discomfort, and she quickly walked in.
Qing Tian casually grabbed a police officer and asked, “Where is Xia Yang? We’re here to bail him out!”
The police uncle clearly recognized Ji Xiangyu. He ignored Qing Tian’s question and respectfully bent over, warmly shaking Ji Xiangyu’s hand, saying, “Isn’t this Rain? Can you give me an autograph? My daughter is a big fan of yours!”
Qing Tian was surprised that Ji Xiangyu was famous even at the police station. She leaned in again and tugged at the police uncle’s sleeve, saying, “Hello Uncle, I’d like to ask where Xia Yang is. We’re here to bail him out!”
The police uncle, interrupted abruptly, looked at Qing Tian with annoyance and said curtly, “Superiors have said no bail and no visits!”
Huzi, Song Shishi, and Qing Tian all shouted loudly, “Why? Why can’t we bail him out?”
The police uncle proudly patted his round belly with a smug expression, saying, “Why so many questions? If we say no, it’s no. Don’t you understand Mandarin?”
Uh, the three of them instantly had three vertical lines of awkwardness.
Qing Tian pushed Ji Xiangyu and said, “Police Uncle, if you tell us, this Rain can take a photo with you and give you an autograph. Can you tell us why?”
Ji Xiangyu smiled and nodded, “Sure!”
The police uncle stroked his chin, seemingly thinking it was a good idea, and agreed.
But why would there be three unfamiliar people in the photo?
Another police officer across the way shouted at the five of them, “Say cheese!”
And so, with a click, everyone except Ji Xiangyu, who was smiling slightly, appeared in the photo with strange expressions.
The police uncle said with a bit of disappointment, “Reportedly, the deceased in this case was a person of great influence. No one below the rank of Superintendent can enter. We can’t even see that kid!”
Qing Tian was stunned and quickly asked, “Great influence? Who? Who exactly?”
Ji Xiangyu pulled Qing Tian back, his eyes signaling her not to kiss him. He then looked apologetically at the police uncle and said, “I’m sorry, my girlfriend is a bit anxious because that person is her good friend!”
This one sentence revealed their relationship and explained Qing Tian’s connection to Xia Yang. Ji Xiangyu was truly remarkable!
The police uncle looked Qing Tian up and down, then shook his head and said, “How can this child be so different from Rain?”
Qing Tian was taken aback, suddenly speechless with embarrassment!
Song Shishi, growing impatient, grabbed the police uncle’s arm and shouted, “Hey, Uncle, isn’t it against regulations to detain a suspect without conclusive evidence? Hurry up and take us to see Xia Yang!”
Huzi loudly echoed, “Yeah, hurry up and take us to see Big Brother!”
The police uncle looked helplessly at the two angry youths and said, “Tsk tsk tsk, can you not get physical?”
Qing Tian put her hand to her forehead, truly at a loss.
In the end, they still couldn’t see Xia Yang. Ji Xiangyu called a lawyer he knew, but the lawyer was in court. At the moment, they couldn’t find anyone reliable to help them.
The four of them waited by the main entrance of the police station, watching people come and go, feeling very helpless.
Someone inadvertently said, “Why don’t we try asking Grandfather Ji?”
Then Qing Tian seemed to have a flash of inspiration and realized, “That’s right! Grandfather Ji definitely won’t stand by and do nothing!”
Ji Xiangyu agreed, so the four of them drove to the Royal Hospital again!
In the car, Qing Tian prayed, hoping Xia Yang wouldn’t be convicted!
Xia Yang, you will be alright!
