Chapter 688
“I meant to say, after An Ji won the title successfully, I felt bad yesterday and went out to drink a few more drinks,”
“On the way back someone stopped my car, and then I got out, but before I could even clearly see the person’s face, I was shot,”
“However, I owe too many people, so it might have been some debt collector, and that’s why I don’t plan to pursue this matter.”
Mo Hua snorted coldly, “You’re quite magnanimous. If the person had taken your life, would you still not pursue it?”
Tang Yuchen glanced at him coldly, “Police Mo, how I handle this is my business, and it’s none of your concern.”
Mo Hua’s expression darkened slightly; he was very agitated because he really wanted to know what An Ruo had ultimately promised him.
“Mr. Tang, I am going to ask you one more time, was the culprit An Ji?!” In truth, he already had a pretty good idea, and the culprit was very likely An Ji.
Tang Yuchen must have used this incident to threaten An Ruo, making her agree to some demand of his.
Tang Yuchen didn’t even blink as he replied indifferently, “It wasn’t him, and I don’t know who the culprit is.”
“Then please tell us the location of where the incident happened last night.”
“I can’t remember at the moment, and also, I need to rest, so please leave.”
“Please cooperate with our investigation!”
Tang Yuchen had no desire to waste any more words, he pressed a bell, and soon a doctor arrived to ask the two of them to leave, telling them not to disturb the patient’s rest and that any questions about the case would have to wait until the patient’s condition was stable.
With no other option, Mo Hua could only leave through gritted teeth.
As soon as they left, An Ruo let out a huge sigh of relief.
Before she had a chance to thank Tang Yuchen, her phone suddenly rang. It was Mo Hua calling, and after hesitating, she got up and walked to the window to answer.
“Hello?”
“An Ruo, I’m waiting outside for you,” said the man, leaving no room for refusal.
“Is there something you needed?” she asked in return.
“Can’t I wait for you if there’s nothing wrong? Come out, let’s go have dinner together.”
“I…,”
Out of the blue, Tang Yuchen spoke up, “You said you’d stay to take care of me.”
Clenching her phone, she said firmly, “Sorry, I’ve got something else to deal with, let’s have dinner together some other time.”
After hearing her words, Mo Hua suddenly fell silent. An Ruo asked cautiously, “Mo Hua, what’s wrong?”
The man paused for a while before laughing, “Nothing, go handle your things. I’m heading back to the police station now. We’ll talk later.”
“Okay,” An Ruo agreed without hesitation.
She knew that he must be feeling uncomfortable right now, but there was nothing she could do – she could only apologize to him first.
After hanging up the phone, she turned around and asked Tang Yuchen, “So if I take care of you until you are discharged, you will never disclose Xiao Ji’s name, right?”
“Mhm, I swear,” Tang Yuchen nodded earnestly.
She was relieved; this matter was finally resolved.
“Then what do you need me to do now?” she asked again.
Tang Yuchen smiled and said, “Come over and chat with me; I’m bored being alone.”
“Hold on,” she said as she dialed An Ji’s number, telling him everything was settled and that he could rest easy. She also told him to head back as there was no need to wait for her.
An Ji immediately asked with concern why she wasn’t going back, to which she replied that she would stay and take care of Tang Yuchen.
“Sis, he threatened you into agreeing, didn’t he?” An Ji asked through gritted teeth.
“No, I feel guilty inside and want to take care of him,” she lied.
“Stop lying to me. It was him who threatened you! Sis, don’t bother with him, come down and let’s go home,” he insisted.
She certainly wouldn’t go down; she insisted that she had to stay and take care of Tang Yuchen, and then she hung up the phone.
