” Why did you suddenly stop the car? You could kill someone!”
Dongfang Yu was inexplicably enraged, “It’s just a dog!”
Hai Xiaotang looked slightly surprised, then laughed, “What’s wrong with the dog? Dogs have lives, too. They have the right to be respected!”
“You expect me to respect a dog?” Dongfang Yu sneered, “A dog is a dog, I can’t bring myself to show respect!”
His words were grating on Hai Xiaotang’s ears for some unknown reason.
She didn’t knowwhat got into him; he had become unreasonable.
“Fine, I don’t need your respect! Please pull over at the square up ahead. I’m getting out there!” If she wasn’t still on the highway, she would have gotten out right there and then.
Dongfang Yu had a cold aura and he just couldn’t suppress the annoyance in his heart.
Hai Xiaotang saw that he wasn’t moving and said, disgruntled, “Can we please get going? We’re on a highway. How long do you plan to stop?”
Dongfang Yu glanced at her grimly and then suddenly stomped on the accelerator!
“Alt…” The car’s sudden jerk startled Hai Xiaotang once again.
That was definitely deliberate on Dongfang Yu’s part!
Hai Xiaotang held back her anger, not wanting to stoop to his level.
At this point, her phone rang.
It was Qiao Ning who made the call. Hai Xiaotang steadied her emotions before picking up, “Hello, Qiao Ning, what’s up?”
“Xiaotang, the suspect has been caught! The police asked us to come to the station now.”
“Caught?!” Hai Xiaotang exclaimed with joy, “That’s great, I’m on my way.”
Dongfang Yu glanced at her, seeming to have guessed something.
Hai Xiaotang hung up her phone and told him, “I need to head to the police station, just drop me off ahead.”
“I’m heading there too,” Dongfang Yu replied, his voice heavy.
“What for?” Hai Xiaotang asked, puzzled.
The man sneered, “You think you can handle this alone? Besides, you’re still technically my wife!”
So whatever the circumstance, he had to intervene.
Hai Xiaotang understood his meaning and didn’t oppose, “Whatever you say.”
It wouldn’t hurt to have him step in anyway.
When Hai Xiaotang arrived at the police station, the lawyer Dongfang Yu had contacted was already there.
They were just there for formality, leaving the rest to be dealt with by the lawyer.
Qiao Ning had arrived earlier than them, she came alone.
Seeing them, Qiao Ning went up to greet them immediately.
“Have you seen the man yet?” Hai Xiaotang asked her.
Qiao Ning shook her head, “I didn’t dare to see him alone.”
The terror she experienced that night still haunted her, she was somewhat scared of the culprit.
“Let’s go together!” Hai Xiaotang was much braver, she wasn’t afraid of things like this.
Her courage motivated Qiao Ning, who suddenly found new strength.
Dongfang Yu had a brief exchange with the police, who said: “The suspect is not saying anything, refusing to admit anything. He’s an orphan and left his former orphanage a long time ago. We managed to contact his sister who used to stay in the same orphanage. She will be here soon.”
Qiao Ning was surprised, “Wang Qiang is an orphan? I had no idea.”
All she knew was that his family was not well-off; she hadn’t imagined him to be an orphan.
Hai Xiaotang was reminded that Lin Xinxin was also an orphan.
She knew Lin Xinxin was an orphan from her past life. Once, in order to humiliate her, someone had revealed in public that she was an orphan.
Many were surprised to learn about her background at the time and Lin Xinxin was indeed embarrassed.
However, Hai Xiaotang had one objective, to make Dongfang Yu look down on her because an orphan was not worthy of him.
