The Glamorous Comeback of the Ousted Heiress

Chapter 595: Encounter by chance_1
 

Bai Lian, who should still have been detained, appeared here, leaving Xu En stunned for a moment before reacting, “Hello, I’m Xu En.”

He reached out his hand.

Xu Wenyao looked at Bai Lian, and the nerve that had been taut finally relaxed as he leaned against the doorframe, “It’s good that you’re alright.”

Bai Lian’s gaze swept past the old Mrs. Xu without a word.

Having not heard any news all night, Mrs. Xu was almost scared out of her wits.

Behind Xu En, Shen Min’s gaze fell on Le Shaoming, “Chief Le?”

Mingfeng District was far from Yunxiao District, and although Shen Min had heard of Le Shaoming, Le had never seen Shen before, only nodding slightly at him, “Hello.”

While a few people were talking, Bai Lian had already walked up to the hospital bed.

Ji Mulan was still sitting on the left side of Xu Zhiyue’s bed, holding her left hand and looking at her with a worried gaze.

Upon seeing Bai Lian, she looked up in astonishment, “You… ”

Bai Lian paid no attention to Ji Mulan.

She bent over, her fingertips carelessly touching Xu Zhiyue’s wrist, her eyes downcast.

After making sure Xu Zhiyue was alright, Bai Lian stood up, and on the other side, Ji Mulan also stood up, “Are you alright? How did you get out…”

She wanted to ask more, but Bai Lian looked at her with a chilly gaze.

Her almond-shaped eyes were black, devoid of any emotion, yet the sense of oppression was strong.

Ji Mulan swallowed the words of concern that were on the tip of her tongue, suddenly feeling a sense of powerlessness; she clearly felt that this was all that was left between her and Bai Lian.

Xu Wenyao brought a cup of hot water for Bai Lian, his gaze landing on Xu Zhiyue, he hesitated, “Sorry, we had no idea about grandma and Zhiyue’s situation and ended up involving you…”

Bai Lian took the cup, “It has nothing to do with you.”

It was that glance that had made Bai Lian so alert.

Xu En, Shen Min, and Le Shaoming were still talking at the door, Xu Zhiyue had not woken up, and Le Shaoming only asked a few routine questions.

Bai Lian’s phone lit up with a message from Jiang Fulai. Her fingertips tapped on the screen intermittently as she bid farewell to Xu Wenyao without any urgency, “See you at the university.”

Le Shaoming had come with Bai Lian, and when she left, he followed, “Miss Bai, wait for me…”

The two figures quickly disappeared towards the elevator.

Xu En and the others escorted them to the elevator, and it was only then that Ji Mulan reacted, “Wenyao, did you ask Alian how she got out?”

Xu Wenyao and Xu En already knew the entire problem lay with “Chief Le.”

The old Mrs. Xu, who had been silent the whole time, stood up, leaning on her walking stick and looking in the direction Bai Lian had left.

“Chief Le is the head of Yunxiao Sub-bureau,” said Shen Min, coming back to his senses. He smiled and explained to Xu En, “Le Shaoming. Miss Bai knows him. It seems I no longer need to be involved in this matter.”

Xu En went to the sub-bureau that evening, and not only did he not see Chief Le, he didn’t even catch a glimpse of Bai Lian.

Hearing that Chief Le was the head of the sub-bureau, the old Mrs. Xu also turned back in shock.

They had all seen the way Le Shaoming had treated Bai Lian just now.

Ji Mulan sat back down, her gaze wandering as she looked at Xu Zhiyue on the hospital bed.

Downstairs.

Le Shaoming accompanied Bai Lian downstairs, “Miss Bai, rest assured, we will definitely give you an explanation.”@@novelbin@@

Bai Lian was holding her phone, her gaze looking ahead, and soon she saw the blue car in the temporary parking space across the street, its taillights still flashing, obviously having just parked.

She stepped to the side and thanked Le Shaoming, “Thank you.”

Le Shaoming saw Bai Lian to the car.

As Bai Lian pulled open the passenger seat door, Le Shaoming caught a glimpse of the person in the driver’s seat, whose faint gaze swept over him like the cold flash of an unsheathed short sword.

Le Shaoming froze on the spot.

The blue car drove away, and only when the ringtone in his pocket sounded did Le Shaoming come to his senses. He answered the phone; it was a friend, “What’s going on over there?”

There was a significant commotion in Yunxiao District, and the people from several surrounding districts were getting restless.

They had not received any information about policy changes.

“The cause, just because of a clubhouse,” Le Shaoming exhaled, “Let me give you a heads up, about this year’s freshmen at Jiangjing University.”

The night before, Sun Fei had turned up with two reports, and he knew things might get complicated.

But he never guessed it would escalate like this, a harsh crackdown throughout Yunxiao District, top to bottom closure of all clubhouses for a search for hallucinatory drugs, and all related personnel suspended and cooperating with the investigation.

Up until just now.

Le Shaoming finally understood why Xu Nanjing had appeared that night.

In the car.

Bai Lian’s phone automatically connected to the Bluetooth, resuming the English reading that had been interrupted.

Jiang Fulai drove onto the main road, tapping her white fingertips on the steering wheel and glancing over slightly, “Didn’t you have Ming Dongheng to be your driver?”
