Chapter 856 - [Bonus ]They Weren't Too Happy

As the two men disappeared out the door, Chief Ren couldn't help but laugh. He looks at Yue Ling and Lu Tian and smiles.

"I'm glad to see that everyone is adjusting well with one another."

His eyes glanced down to the young couple's hands still in twined together, and his heart softened.

He looks at Lu Tian, but this time, his expression turns serious.

"As one of Yue Ling's elders, I hope you treat her well. If I hear even the smallest wrong you've done to her, I will be coming after you."

He knows that Lu Tian will never do anything to harm Yue Ling, but he still wanted to give a warning as her elder.

Lu Tian was befuddled by Chief Ren's words yet maintained a composed posture. He couldn't understand why everyone kept thinking of him lightly.

He may be ruthless towards others, but never towards his wife. She is the last person he ever wants to hurt.

However, understanding Chief Ren's point of view, he nods his head.

"If I harm her in any way, even in the slightest, my life will be for her to take."

He assured Chief Ren that he would do what he promised. If such a day were ever to come, he would gladly offer his life to her.

Yue Ling gazed at him as warmth filled her eyes and heart. Before, she thought she could live on with life without the support of another.

However, after meeting Lu Tian, she was grateful to have such a kindhearted man by her side.

Of course, she is the only person who would think of Lu Tian as a kind person.

If it were someone else, they would have been scared to death by him. Chief Ren was pleased to hear Lu Tian's encouraging words. However, as much as he wanted to stay on the topic, he knew he couldn't.

"Although I want to continue this conversation, I do not want to take up your time with an old man like myself."

He stood up from his seat and walked over to his desk. He picks up a folder and hands it to Yue Ling before sitting back down.

"This is the report of today's incident. I'm sure Lin Hui already informed you regarding the situation, but the man he encountered this afternoon is Chen Xincheng, and the woman is the only daughter of the Qin family."

His hand raises to massage his forehead, and he heaves heavily.

"Miss Qin has given her written statement. However, judging from her family's reaction when they heard the news, they weren't too happy."

Yue Ling read the details about the situation and Chen Xincheng. When she heard about Qin Xue's parents, she raised an eyebrow.

"What do you mean?"

Chief Ren exhales and closes his eyes as if to sort out his feelings.

"The Qin family and Chen family are close friends. From my understanding of Miss Qin's statement, she was on a blind date with Chen Xincheng. Things got out of control, so Lin Hui had to intervene. I tried explaining this to the Qin family, but they were certain that it was Lin Hui at fault."

He details what happened when Qin Xue was brought in and what happened when the Qin family arrived. Chen Xincheng was sent to the hospital, so he was unable to answer any questions or clear the misunderstanding.

In the end, Lin Hui, who was also not present, had to be the one to blame.

"I don't know what will happen from here, but the Qin family and Chen family are ones not to let things go so easily."

Yue Ling listened until the end, as so did Lu Tian. She stares down at the picture of Chen Xincheng, and without the need to think, she closes the folder.

A side smile curled on her face, and she placed the folder on the table.

"What a coincidence. My family happens to be one that doesn't let things go so easily too."

Lu Tian looks at his wife with unending proudness. Even if he doesn't say it, she is a competent woman, and she has his support, along with the Lu family.

Chief Ren, on the other hand, was feeling sorry for the Qin and Chen family.

They were prominent and influential families that is why they could easily shift the blame on others.

However, this time, they picked the wrong person to blame.

Lin Hui may not come from a substantial household, but he is backed by Yue Ling, and compared to her, the two families are like stepping stones for her.

After talking to Chief Ren about the situation, Yue Ling and Lu Tian bid farewell to the old man and left the room. Considering the time it took for them to discuss, their subordinates should be outside waiting for them.

Lu Tian walked at the same pace as his wife. He held onto her hand without a care about what others thought.

He steals a few glances at her with a look of hesitation. He wanted to ask how she knew Chief Ren but didn't want to ask in front of the old man.

It was clear that they knew one another, but this was the first time he heard that Chief Ren was her elder.

Yue Ling was able to read his mind and softly chuckle. She adores this childlike side of him. However, she pretends not to notice his feelings.

She locked her arms with him and smiled happily.

"Did I mention that Chief Ren is a close friend of both my grandfathers? He can be considered a grandfather to me. It's been a few years since I last saw him, so I decided to pay him a visit since Lin Hui was coming here."

Lu Tian's ears flushed pink, and he covered his mouth as if to hide his feelings.

Once he lowered his hand, his expression returned to normal, and he nods in understanding.

He was relieved that their relationship was not that of enemies.

"Boss! Over here!"

As the couple exited the police station, ahead came the voices of Xu Long and Lin Hui.

After Lin Hui gave his statement to Officer Xin, he and Xu Long came outside to wait for their bosses to finish.

Yue Ling smiles at the thought of the two men looking similar to children waiting for their parents.

As she thought this, she was going to tell Lu Tian about Liu Ye and his siblings, but she took notice of a middle-aged woman getting out of a car.

The woman's car was parked near her car, but from where the two subordinates stood in wait, neither could see the woman.

Yue Ling sees a silver tumbler in the woman's hand and could see anger written on the woman's face. She recognized the woman as Qin Xue's mother and looked at Lin Hui as Chief Ren's words entered her head.

"Lin Hui, watch out!"

However, it was too late.

Madam Qin runs over to Lin Hui and furiously pours the steaming hot liquid inside the tumbler at him.

"It's all your fault!"
