Chapter 258

Looking at those dozen or so guns, Sister Hua's exquisitely made-up face was contorted with rage. She had made so many preparations and considered all sorts of scenarios.

She still had a steel pipe tucked into her waistband for any escape, and yet she was surrounded as soon as she came out! How could she not be angry!

Originally, if she encountered the police in the mountains, she could use the terrain to escape, but she didn't expect them to arrive so quickly and trap them in this building, rendering all her plans useless!

Zhao Jianguo was the leader of this operation. When he found the steel pipe on Sister Hua, his eyebrows twitched, and he threw the steel pipe on the ground with a sneer on his face.

His eyes seemed to want to tear Sister Hua to shreds as he looked at her, and his tone was filled with intense anger: "So you're still plotting against us, huh?"

Sister Hua forced a smile: "No, I wouldn't dare."

Zhao Jianguo had a temper that was easily ignited. When he saw Sister Hua's forced smile, he almost slapped her, but he remembered his place and didn't.

However, he wasn't so polite with his words: "Dare not? I think you're very bold. You've even dared to kidnap people, what else wouldn't you dare to do?"

Sister Hua's smile froze, and she tried to defend herself, but Zhao Jianguo didn't want to listen to a word: "Alright, alright, if you have something to say, come back to the station with me."

While Sister Hua was busy talking to Zhao Jianguo, she didn't notice the way Zhao Jun and Lao San were looking at her.

Things have changed.

She went into the building alone and came out with a steel pipe, without reminding them to bring a weapon for self-defense as well. It was easy to guess what she was thinking. Zhao Jun was alright; he hadn't really trusted Sister Hua to begin with. But the third brother's expression was quite intriguing.

Now that they'd arrived at the police station and seen Xu Xinchen standing there unharmed, Lao San and Sister Hua both gritted their teeth. This woman! How could she be so lucky!

Especially Sister Hua, who was furious at the sight of Xu Xinchen's clothes. She had just seen this outfit on a tricycle. If she had remembered whose clothes it was earlier, she might have run away long ago!

Xu Xinchen didn't know what Sister Hua was thinking. Seeing that all three of them had been arrested, she subconsciously felt nervous for Zhao Jun. However, she also knew that she couldn't expose Zhao Jun in front of Sister Hua, otherwise it might cause trouble for Zhao Jun.

Therefore, she simply pointed at Sister Hua and said to Chen Ningsheng and Zhao Jianguo, "Officer, this is the woman. This woman is the one who led the kidnapping of me."

Zhao Jianguo nodded solemnly and led Sister Hua inside. Lao San and Zhao Jun were naturally held down by the other police officers. Chen Ningsheng, Xu Xinchen, and their group of four also followed them inside.

Upon arriving inside, the policewoman glared at Sister Hua with an extremely ugly expression. Only when she saw Xu Xinchen walk in did she manage to calm down a bit. Pointing at Sister Hua, she shouted, "Thank goodness no one was hurt. If something had happened, I would have ripped you off!"

Standing next to the policewoman, Zhao Jianguo coughed a few times, somewhat awkwardly: "Ahem, what nonsense are you talking about? Get to work."

The policewoman looked a little annoyed, but ultimately didn't say anything more. She just sat down in her seat with a huff and started asking the inevitable questions.

Xu Xinchen understood that the policewoman was angry because of her, and a warm feeling welled up in her heart. She took a step forward and stood next to the policewoman, waiting for the policewoman to issue a summons.

This ordeal lasted from day to night. By the time Xu Xinchen and Chen Ningsheng finished giving their statements and came out of the police station, it was already completely dark.

Since Lin Bingchun and the short-haired girl didn't have a car to pick them up, Xu Xinchen simply asked Chen Ningsheng to help take them home.

Lin Bingchun and the short-haired girl were the ones who helped Xu Xinchen, so Chen Ningsheng was naturally very willing. By the time they saw Lin Bingchun and the short-haired girl off, it was already three o'clock in the morning.

As soon as Xu Xinchen got home, she went straight into the bathroom. While she was washing up, Chen Ningsheng pushed open the door and walked in…

The next morning, Xu Xinchen sat up with a grimacing expression, clutching her aching back. She glared hatefully at Chen Ningsheng, who was sleeping next to her with a smug look on his face: "Beast!"

Chen Ningsheng had half his face buried in the pillow, looking like he wasn't sleeping well, as if he had a nightmare. His brows were furrowed, and his mouth was involuntarily open as he murmured a few words.

Xu Xinchen couldn't hear what Chen Ningsheng was saying at first, so she lowered her head and brought her lips close to his, only then could she hear Chen Ningsheng's murmured words: "Baby...baby...where are you..."

Hearing these extremely anxious words, Xu Xinchen sighed helplessly, pressing one hand on her waist and the other to stroke Chen Ningsheng's face: "Do you know I'm angry with you, so you're pretending to be so pitiful? Hmm?"

Chen Ningsheng, fast asleep, couldn't hear what Xu Xinchen was saying at all. Feeling something moving on his face, he simply reached out and pressed it...

The familiar touch reached his palm. Chen Ningsheng grabbed Xu Xinchen's hand and pulled her into his arms. Only then did he finally regain some of his senses.

Chen Ningsheng pressed his cheek against Xu Xinchen's neck and gently rubbed it, his words still a little slurred: "Baby...baby...why did you wake up so early?"

Xu Xinchen's heart softened completely, and she pressed down on Chen Ningsheng's hand that was on her waist: "I've been sleeping for quite a while, do you want to get up and go out for a meal?"

Upon hearing Xu Xinchen's words, Chen Ningsheng's eyes snapped open. He sprang to his feet and stood in front of the wardrobe, starting to search for clothes: "Okay, I'll go out with you. You absolutely mustn't go out alone again."

Xu Xinchen watched Chen Ningsheng's actions and felt a pang of amusement, but her eyes also stung, as if something was about to spill over. She stood up, took the tie from Chen Ningsheng's hand, and gently tied it for him.

After doing all this, Xu Xinchen imitated Chen Ningsheng's earlier actions, tiptoeing to press her cheek against Chen Ningsheng's neck and gently rubbing it.

"I'm fine, Ning Sheng. I'm back now, so don't worry. I'll be very careful when I go out now, and I won't get kidnapped again."
