Marriage Seduction Addiction

On one side, Tang Lan was discussing the development of the case with Jiang Muchen, when suddenly another car drove into the police station.

The car looked ordinary, but the string of numbers following the word "police" on the white license plate was quite eye-catching.

Even Jiang Muchen glanced at him slightly.

After the car stopped, a driver quickly came forward and opened the car door.

The first person to get off the bus was a man around fifty years old, wearing a police uniform. He had a serious and upright square face, and the silver olive branch and three stars on his epaulets immediately attracted the attention of everyone in the courtyard.

Then, another person got out of the car.

Jiang Muchen's gaze darkened slightly, and he quickly turned his face away.

It is Jiangbei Heng.

Jiang Beiheng stood next to the car and said a few more words to Ren Guozhang, who got out of the car first. Then he saw Ren Guozhang walk into the office building, greeted by the salutes of a group of police officers of all ranks.

On the other side, seeing this, Tang Lan quickly stepped forward and greeted him anxiously, "Mr. Jiang, are you here for Tang Xu? Who was that just now—"

“I was very worried when I learned that Tang Xu was in trouble, so I risked my reputation to go to an old friend.” Jiang Beiheng paused before continuing, “But it seems that this matter cannot be resolved so easily. We still need to wait for the police to investigate. But don’t worry, Tang Xu will definitely not suffer any hardship. As long as she didn’t do it, she will be safe.”

Tang Lan's face paled slightly. She opened her mouth, but after a long while, she finally spoke: "Even though you and Mu Chen have both stepped in, you still can't bail her out?"

Jiang Beiheng said, "The case is still under investigation. You need to give the police some time. The police haven't reached a conclusion yet, so don't be too anxious."

But no matter how he tried to comfort her, Tang Lan seemed anxious and uneasy. It was as if only seeing Tang Xu standing safely in front of her could put her at ease; otherwise, the situation seemed to spiral out of control.

Seeing her like this, Jiang Beiheng quickly looked at Jiang Muchen and said, "Muchen, why don't you take Madam Shao to the hotel to rest? It's not a good idea to have so many people guarding here."

Jiang Muchen's cold gaze slowly swept over, met Jiang Beiheng's eyes, and only moved slightly after a long while.

However, before he could step forward, Tang Lan suddenly turned around and said, "I have something to do and need to go somewhere else first. I'll leave this place in your care."

After saying that, she hurriedly got into her car and told the driver to drive away.

Jiang Beiheng and Jiang Muchen remained standing, one in front of the other, watching the direction she left in.

After a while, Jiang Beiheng turned around and glanced at Jiang Muchen again.

Jiang Muchen didn't look at him again, and turned around to walk back towards the office building.

……

At the same time, Tang Xu, sitting in the interrogation room, finally saw the various pieces of evidence that the police had placed in front of her.

This includes the freight company's system files, contact messages, her signature, and so on.

Upon seeing these documents, Tang Xu finally realized something clearly.

At first, she thought that other employees of the company had colluded with criminals to do this by using Fengzheng's transportation routes. But now, seeing this evidence, she realized that it was all a setup.

A scheme aimed at her, determined to drag her down with it.

Because she had never seen any of those documents, those contact messages, or her signed receipts.

However, the timeline spans several months.

Someone had been plotting this all along, intending to make this happen at this time—

But the reason?
why her?
Before Tang Xu could think of anyone to suspect, the interrogation room door was suddenly pushed open, and Ren Guozhang walked in.

The two officers who were interrogating Tang Xu quickly stood up and saluted sharply. Ren Guozhang waved his hand, glanced at Tang Xu, and then at the logbook in front of the two officers. "How's the interrogation going?"

The two officers exchanged a glance, probably neither of them expecting that such a high-ranking leader would come here because of such a case.

One of them quickly replied, "There's been no progress yet; the suspect repeatedly denies any connection to these matters."

Ren Guozhang then looked up at Tang Xu sitting opposite him and asked, word by word, "Does this have anything to do with you?"

“No,” Tang Xu replied, “I didn’t do it.”

Ren Guozhang stared at her intently for a while, but in the end he didn't say anything more. He only instructed the two police officers to "interrogate her properly," and then turned around and left the interrogation room.

……

In the darkness of night, Tang Lan's car sped along the road.

She sat in the back seat of the car, her arms crossed, biting her lower lip, as if she was still trembling slightly.

The driver assumed she had come from Southeast Asia and hadn't yet adjusted to the fluctuating temperatures of Huai City, so he couldn't help but ask, "Madam, would you like me to turn up the air conditioning?"

After a long while, Tang Lan's low, hoarse voice was finally heard: "No need, just drive quickly."

Upon hearing this, the driver said nothing more and silently increased his speed.

Soon, the car drove into the gate of Nancheng Xiaofu and finally stopped in front of the villa she was familiar with.

The driver got out of the car and opened the door for Tang Lan, but Tang Lan remained seated inside. After a while, she slowly raised her eyes, staring at the villa in front of her, lost in thought.

Until the driver called her softly again, "Madam?"

As if suddenly snapping back to her senses, Tang Lan finally reached out and let the driver help her out of the car.

Her hands were frighteningly cold, but the driver didn't dare ask any more questions.

After finally coming to a stop, Tang Lan said in a low voice, "You go first, I'll let you know when I need a car."

"know."

The driver responded, quickly got into the car, and drove away.

Tang Lan stood frozen for a long time before finally walking step by step to the door of the villa. Her trembling hand hesitated several times before finally ringing the doorbell.

The moment the doorbell rang, Tang Lan couldn't help but close her eyes.

Soon, she heard the door open.

Someone stood in front of her, reached out, and gently stroked her face.

Tang Lan finally slowly opened her eyes.

The man standing behind the door was smiling gently at her, his voice soft, "You're back?"

Tang Lan's eyes were filled with tears. The man in front of her was fragmented and no longer resembled the one she remembered. Only his eyes remained the same as when he was young, easily controlling all her emotions.

Tang Lan was completely unable to express her feelings at that moment. She just looked at him and whispered, "I'm back... Can you please let Yao Yao go?"

As soon as she finished speaking, her tears finally streamed down her face uncontrollably.

Meng Liancheng reached out and gently wiped away the tears that had slid down his cheek, whispering, "What nonsense are you talking about?" (End of Chapter)
