An hour later, Xu Jiaojiao grabbed her phone. It had run out of no battery and turned off automatically. She was so anxious that her face turned red. “Officer, I’m really an adult now. I’m a student at Luo City University. I just forgot to bring my identity card…”
The police officer glanced at Xu Jiaojiao and could not help but lecture her. “I know that young girls of your age are very curious, but you still have to wait until you’re an adult before coming to a bar. Alright, follow us back to the police station first. Your parents will come and pick you up later.”
Xu Jiaojiao protested, “But sir, I…”
Unfortunately, the police were too busy checking the identities of the others to listen to her explanation. Su Luo was laughing so hard that her stomach hurt.
Xu Jiaojiao glared at her angrily. “You still have the cheek to laugh? What am I supposed to do now?!”
What was going on?! It was one thing for her to be ambushed by the police the first time she came to the bar, but now she was going to be taken back to the police station as a minor! They were even going to call her family!
Su Luo shrugged innocently. “There’s nothing you can do. Just follow the police to the station first and call your parents to pick you up.”
Xu Jiaojiao pouted angrily. “I’ll call my brother over, you know!”
Su Luo chuckled. “That’s why… I’m slipping away now. You can wait here, okay? Bye!”
“Huh?” Xu Jiaojiao was dumbfounded. Seeing Su Luo run away, she instinctively wanted to chase after her, but she was caught by the police.
“Don’t move. Follow me back to the police station later. Don’t even think about escaping.”
Xu Jiaojiao wanted to cry but she was all out of tears. “Officer, I’m really an adult!” Why didn’t he believe her?!
“Alright, come back with us.” The police officers examined Xu Jiaojiao for a while and finally had her taken in as a minor in a bar. It was time for them to leave.
Xu Jiaojiao stood rooted to the ground, not wanting to move. The police officer pushed her. “Let’s go, let’s go.”
Xu Jiaojiao was speechless. ‘Someone, save me…’
Just as Xu Jiaojiao was about to be taken away by the police, a deep voice suddenly spoke up from the second floor. “Wait a minute.”
Xu Jiaojiao suddenly raised her head. The excitement in her eyes slowly turned into embarrassment when she saw the person who spoke.
Qi Shenbai came down from the second floor. His long straight legs were wrapped in his suit pants, and his white shirt was unbuttoned, revealing his sexy Adam’s apple. His calm gaze landed on Xu Jiaojiao, who slowly lowered her head, not daring to look him in the eye.
What kind of awkward scene was this?! She was not even this embarrassed on the day Lu Zhuo abandoned her at the wedding!
Qi Shenbai acted as if he did not see Xu Jiaojiao’s awkward expression and walked up to the police officer. “Officer, she’s an adult.”
The police officer looked up at Qi Shenbai. “You know each other? What’s your relationship?”
Qi Shenbai glanced at Xu Jiaojiao, whose head was almost touching the ground, and said indifferently, “She’s my wife.”
Xu Jiaojiao raised her head abruptly, her round eyes filled with disbelief. Wife? Wasn’t he supposed to say that she was a friend’s younger sister or something?
The police officer looked at Qi Shenbai suspiciously, as if he was looking at a pedophile pervert. Qi Shenbai furrowed his eyebrows and glanced at Pei Yan, who was behind him. Pei Yan asked the police officer to go to the side and explain in detail.
It was unclear what Pei Yan had said to the police, but in the end, the police came over and looked at Xu Jiaojiao exasperatedly. “So you really are an adult, huh? You look way too young. Next time you come out to play, remember to bring your ID card. Otherwise, you’ll be easily misunderstood.”
Xu Jiaojiao felt wronged. “It’s not my fault that I have a baby face…”
At this moment, Xu Jiaojiao felt a sharp gaze on her. She instantly fell silent and lowered her head, not daring to speak.
Qi Shenbai did not say anything. He strode towards the door with his long legs. After taking two steps, he did not hear any footsteps behind him. He turned his head and said, “Aren’t you leaving?” His voice was cold and emotionless.
Xu Jiaojiao quickly regained her senses and caught up with him. “Thank you, Mr. Qi.”
Qi Shen rolled his eyes at her and gave a nonchalant harrumph.
Xu Jiaojiao, on the other hand, asked curiously, “Mr. Qi, are you also here to play?” He looked like a workaholic with his elite appearance. She did not expect him to come to a place like the bar.
“I’m here to support a friend.” Qi Shenbai stopped in his tracks. There was no expression on his cold face in the night. His thin lips parted slightly. “Thanks to you, he’s going to the police station to cooperate with the investigation.”
“…” Xu Jiaojiao was exasperated. She immediately lowered her head and apologized obediently, “I’m sorry.”
Qi Shenbai did not say anything else. A black Bentley was already waiting at the entrance of the bar. When the driver saw them coming out, he quickly got out of the car and opened the door for them.
Just as Xu Jiaojiao was about to get into the car, Qi Shenbai suddenly said, “Wait.”
