I Was Seduced Into a Marriage After Failing to Charm the Tyrannical Bigshot

199 She’s Your Wife

The people from Ming City’s Police Force arrived quickly.

Sang Minglang went to Ming City in the morning to submit the evidence. In the afternoon, the police from Ming City and the capital worked together. A large number of police officers surrounded the Ruan family’s residence and took Ruan Cheng away.

When Xie Shi’an got the news and rushed back, Ruan Cheng was being supported by Cui Xu and was about to get into the police car.

Not only was he not flustered at all, but he also had his usual faint smile on his face. He was extremely calm.

It was as if he wasn’t going to the police station, but just going out for a walk. He would be back soon.

On the other hand, Ruan Xiaoshuang’s eyes were red and swollen, and she couldn’t stop crying.

Ruan Cheng’s health wasn’t good to begin with. He had rarely left the house in the past few years. If he was taken away by the police for investigation, the care he received would definitely not be as good as at home. This would undoubtedly aggravate his illness.

However, the police had brought an arrest warrant, so Ruan Cheng had to go.

Ruan Xiaoshuang didn’t know what had happened to her brother, so she was worried and a little scared.

“You’re so old, why are you still crying like this?”

Ruan Cheng wiped away her tears. “I’ve been to the police station a few times in the past, but didn’t I come back in the end?”

Ruan Xiaoshuang sobbed and said, “But Brother, you’re sick now. How can you bear this?”

“Don’t worry, Cui Xu is with me.”

Ruan Cheng ruffled her hair. “I’ll be fine.”

Ruan Cheng’s gaze inadvertently swept past Xie Shi’an in the distance, and he waved his hand.

Xie Shi’an hesitated for a few seconds, but still walked over.

“Shi’an, as you can see, it’s not that I’m being unreasonable.”

There was a smile in Ruan Cheng’s eyes, but in Xie Shi’an’s eyes, that smile only felt cold.

He used a voice that only Xie Shi’an could hear and said in a low voice, “It’s the woman you like. She’s too disobedient. As she dragged you, she got Sang Minglang to hand the video over to the Ming City Police. Shi’an, don’t blame me.”

After he finished speaking, Ruan Cheng helped Xie Shi’an adjust his collar and patted his shoulder. “I’ll be back soon, Shi’an.”

Xie Shi’an’s blood seemed to have frozen.

It wasn’t until the police car started and the cold wind blew that he snapped back to his senses, his palms already covered in cold sweat.

Not long after Sang Qianqian returned home, Aunt Zhao brought Xie Shi’an in. “Miss Sang, this gentleman said that he has an urgent matter to discuss with you.”

Sang Qianqian’s expression turned cold. “Why are you here? I said I won’t give you the video, so I won’t give it to you even if I die. Shi’an, tell Ruan Cheng not to waste his time.”

Xie Shi’an’s face was unusually pale. “Qianqian, Ruan Cheng has just been taken away by the police.”

Sang Qianqian was stunned. How could the police be so fast?

She had thought that it would take at least a few days before they would take action.

“Qianqian, why did you hide this from me?”

Xie Shi’an looked at her with a complicated expression. “You clearly said that you had to think carefully before handing the video over to the police…”

“Shi’an, it doesn’t seem like you have the right to question what I’m doing.”

Sang Qianqian smiled. “Do you know why I came to the capital? I just wanted to find the real murderer of the shooting. It wasn’t easy for me to get that video, so how could I not hand it over to the police?”

There was an indescribable feeling in Xie Shi’an’s eyes. He was sad and extremely dejected. “So, you’ve been getting close to me from the beginning to the end just to get what you want from me?”

Sang Qianqian was silent for a moment. “I didn’t get close to you on purpose.”

On the contrary, she had always kept a sufficient distance from Xie Shi’an. Except for that time when they watched the snow on Bailing Mountain.

Xie Shi’an smiled bitterly. “That’s true. It has nothing to do with you.”

He was the one who couldn’t reject Sang Qianqian.

Not to mention accompanying her to see the snow or her just wanting to get the truth from him, even if she were to open her mouth and say that she wanted his life, he would probably give it to her without hesitation.

“Qianqian, I didn’t come here to question you. Over the years, Ruan Cheng had been taken away by the police seven to eight times for investigation, but not once had he been deemed guilty. The longest time he was in the police station was three days, but he came out safely after that.”

Xie Shi’an’s voice was very low. “Ruan Cheng won’t let this matter go just like that. You should leave quickly. Go back to Ming City and find Shen Hanyu. Ask him to take you abroad to hide. Also, it’s best for your brother and father not to stay in Yuecheng for the time being.”

He turned around with heavy steps and was about to leave.

“Shi’an,” Sang Qianqian chased after him, “You are the most crucial witness. The police will definitely look for you. Can’t you tell them everything you know truthfully?”

Xie Shi’an turned his head and looked deeply at sang Qianqian.

“When my sister and I were chased out of the Xie family, it was Ruan Cheng who took us in.”

Xie Shi’an’s voice was a little hoarse. “Qianqian, I only know what I told you in the video. I’m not sure about the rest, but I can’t give the police any more information.”

Sang Qianqian understood what he meant. Xie Shi’an and his sister were indebted to Ruan Cheng.

Therefore, Xie Shi’an couldn’t completely stand against Ruan Cheng and accuse him. Even if he knew that Ruan Cheng was the murderer, he wouldn’t provide any evidence other than the few sentences in the video.

In that case, whether Ruan Cheng would be convicted or not was entirely up to the police.

She thought of when Xie Shi’an said that Ruan Cheng had been taken away by the police several times in the past, but he had come out safely every time.

Sang Qianqian couldn’t hide her worry. After thinking for a while, she decided to give her brother a call.

When Xie Shi’an came out, he saw Shen Hanyu standing quietly outside the door. He didn’t say anything and left the courtyard.

Xie Shi’an was about to get into the car when Shen Hanyu reached out to hold the door open. He looked at him and said, “Ruan Cheng is looking for Qianqian. What video do you keep asking for?”

It was obvious that he had heard the entire conversation between Xie Shi’an and Sang Qianqian.

...

Xie Shi’an took a deep breath. “You know the answer, but you still ask?”

Sang Minglang already knew about it, and even the video was handed over to the police. Shen Hanyu was Sang Qianqian’s husband, and he was also involved in the shooting. So how could he not know about this?

“I’m not that free,” Shen Hanyu said, his eyes dark.

Xie Shi’an turned around and looked into Shen Hanyu’s eyes. He didn’t seem to know.

Even though he didn’t know why Sang Qianqian was hiding this from him, but…

Sang Qianqian was in grave danger and needed Shen Hanyu to take her away from the capital.

Xie Shi’an told him the content of the video. “Ruan Cheng will not let this go. Qianqian is in danger now.”

Shen Hanyu thought for a moment. “Did she get this video the night you went snow-viewing on Bailing Mountain? That night, she went to your room and hypnotized you?”

Xie Shi’an couldn’t understand Shen Hanyu. At such a critical moment, he didn’t care about what Ruan Cheng was going to do to his wife. Instead, he asked about the video.

“Yes,” he nodded patiently.

Shen Hanyu’s eyes darkened. “She’s been suspended from the hospital. What’s going on?”

...

“Shen Hanyu, she’s your wife.”

Xie Shi’an frowned. Don’t tell me you know nothing about her being in the capital. Why are you asking an outsider like me?”
