The moment Ji An let go of Liu Jiayi, Liu Jiayi's expression changed again, and she became like that confused little girl who had lost her father.

She seemed reluctant to leave Ji An's warm embrace, and gently clenched her arms around Ji An, but she soon realized that it seemed wrong to do so, and let go obediently and nervously.

Liu Jiayi let go of her hands and shyly pulled down her clothes, with tears still hanging on her trembling eyelashes.

These little actions made Liu Jiayi look like a very uneasy little girl who had lost her loved ones, and also made Ji An's expression even softer.

After watching all this, Mu Sicheng's expression became increasingly complicated and strange: "..."

Now he didn't find it strange at all that Liu Huai was being played around by Liu Jiayi.

Liu Jiayi's acting is very worthy of an Oscar. It took less than a second for this kid to go from brewing emotions to shedding tears.

Mu Sicheng wanted to wake Ji An up and said, "Big sister, wake up." Three minutes ago, the pitiful and adorable little girl you thought jumped from the sixth floor without blinking and landed safely. Do you think that a little girl like her would travel a long distance to find a policeman's house just to ask for help from his wife because she lost her father? !

And the little girl's original plan was to kidnap you and use you to threaten your husband, intimidate him and make him reveal where Bai Liu was.

Now seeing Ji An comforting Liu Jiayi in a gentle voice, Mu Sicheng felt a little cold on his back and he couldn't help rubbing his arms.

Oh, how scary! What kind of people did Bai Liu recruit to join the team?

"I rarely interfere with Su Yang's work. His work is highly confidential. I don't know exactly what he is doing." Under Liu Jiayi's coaxing, Ji An was still on guard, but his tone had begun to loosen. "But I can ask for you. If he is willing to tell me, I can help tell you his address. You are relatives of the prisoner, so you should be able to visit him."

"If the person who was arrested was your father, then who is this person who came with you?" Ji An looked at Mu Sicheng suspiciously.

Before Mu Sicheng could speak, Liu Jiayi quickly answered, "He is my father's friend."

Just as Ji An was about to ask a few more questions, there was another knock on the door.

Mu Sicheng quickly tapped Liu Jiayi's hand, and the two of them rushed into the nursery before Ji An could react, then locked the door quickly.

Ji An anxiously knocked twice from outside, and shook the handle twice, but the door wouldn't open - the key to the nursery was still in Mu Sicheng's hand!

Unless Mu Sicheng opened the door from the inside, there was no way she could get in from the outside.

Liu Jiayi's soft voice came out timidly from inside: "Big sister, as long as you help me ask about my father Bai Liu, we will not harm your child, I swear."

Thinking that Liu Jiayi had indeed saved her child, and Mu Sicheng had indeed saved her, Ji An's panic eased a little. She hesitated in front of the door of the nursery for a long time before she prepared herself mentally and made up her mind to open it.

But this time, the person outside the door was not Su Yang.

Standing outside the door was a young man who was dressed in an unusual manner.

Ji An recognized the watch on the young man's hand. She had seen it in a TV series and it was said to cost millions. The young man had a delicate appearance and was well-groomed. He wore a pair of exquisitely crafted gold-wire glasses on his nose. Although he looked not tall, he gave people an arrogant aura at first glance.

Because this man seemed to be about the same height as her and did not seem to have any strong attack power, Ji An, who had experienced a night attack this time, calmed down a lot. In addition, there was an adult male with a high fighting capacity hiding in the nursery, Mu Sicheng.

Ji An calmed down and looked at the person outside the door: "Excuse me, who are you?"

"My name is Mu Ke." Mu Ke bowed politely to Ji An, then stood up and looked at Ji An, asking politely, "Excuse me, is this Su Yang's home? Are you Su Yang's lover?"

Mu Ke wore black leather gloves on both hands and carried two black suitcases with codes.

"I am." Ji An nodded hesitantly. She looked at the suitcase in Mu Ke's hand and asked, "What do you want to see him about?"

Mu Keping held up a box. He turned the combination lock a few times, then opened a crack in the box to show Ji An - it was a box full of gold bars.

Ji An looked up at Mu Ke in shock: "What is this——?!!"

"Can I come in and talk to you?" Mu Ke shook the things in his hand and smiled politely, "After all, these two boxes of things your husband wants are really not light, and it's not safe for me to stand outside the door carrying these things alone."

Ji An stepped aside in a daze and let Mu Ke in: "Please, please come in."

The bright golden light she had just seen was still flashing in her mind. Ji An still felt a little dizzy when she sat down - she had never dreamed that someone would come to her in the middle of the night with two boxes of gold bars!

"Excuse me, what do you mean when you say these two boxes of things are what my husband wants?" Ji Anmin asked sharply.

"You should ask your husband about this." Mu Ke sat on the sofa leisurely, clasped his hands on his knees, and looked at Ji An opposite with a smile, "Ask him why he allowed his team members to arrest an ordinary person who had not committed any crime, and then demanded a sky-high bail from me, a wealthy friend of this ordinary person?"

"Impossible." Ji An denied it without hesitation, "Su Yang can't do such a thing!"

Su Yang certainly didn't do such a thing.

But this did not prevent Mu Ke from assuming that he had done such a thing and then using it to trick Ji An into talking.

"Did he really not do it?" Mu Ke opened his eyelids indifferently, with a steady smile on his face. "Then why was my friend arrested? At around 10 o'clock tonight, Su Yang's team came to my villa and warned me to pay the bail quickly, otherwise they would arrest me as an accomplice."

Ji An clenched her hands in her arms and bit her lower lip.

Su Yang did call her around ten o'clock tonight and told her that the team members suddenly had to go to the rich area for a special mission, and it was a temporary mission imposed on her.

When he told her that he couldn't come back at night, Su Yang's tone seemed helpless, and his words revealed that there were no clear clues in the case yet, but his captain had already started to let them arrest people.

Why would they start arresting people when the case is not yet clear?

Moreover, Su Yang said that their captain has been acting strangely recently and has arrested many people who have nothing to do with them...

Her eyes fell on the two boxes of gold bars on the table again. Mu Ke followed Ji An's gaze and opened the boxes. The bright golden light immediately filled Ji An's eyes.

Then Ji An quickly withdrew his gaze as if he had been burned, clenched his fists at his sides, stood up suddenly, and paced back and forth in the room nervously.

"Impossible!" Ji An's chest rose and fell violently. She closed her eyes and didn't look at the gold bars on the coffee table and the wood on the sofa. "Su Yang is not that kind of person! Take the gold bars away!"

"Your financial situation has been very bad recently, right? This second-hand house is no longer safe. You have been planning to move to a new house, but the funds are not enough. After all, the expenses of a newborn are too high."

Even with his eyes closed, Mu Ke's voice was still clearly and continuously transmitted into Ji An's ears: "The birth of a child will change your thinking and values. Madam, you are very different from before you became a mother, right? For your child, you will be willing to do many things that you were not willing to do before, right?"

Ji An's breathing began to quicken, and her nails dug into her palms.

"How can you be sure that your husband has not changed?" Mu Ke's tone sank and became gentle and persuasive. "Even if he hasn't changed, what if his boss has changed? What if the people around him have changed? Maybe he didn't do these things willingly, but everyone else did it, so he had to go along with it. Isn't this also very common?"

"But it's already been done. I won't blame him. He didn't mean it." Mu Ke pushed the two boxes of gold bars on the coffee table towards Ji An. "I believe your lover is an upright person, so I won't tell anyone. As long as you accept the gold bars and give me some information to let me know where my friend is, I will never mention this matter again. And you have done the right thing for Su Yang. You saved an innocent person."

Mu Ke pushed up the gold-rimmed glasses on his nose and said with a smile, "I think this is a well-spent sum of money. For me, this is a very good deal, and I believe Su Yang feels the same way."

Ji An's breathing became very rapid, her hands hanging at both sides of her body clenched suddenly, and her tightly closed eyes began to tremble.

"As long as you ask Su Yang to give me Bai Liu's information," Mu Ke said softly, "I can continue to quote prices until you are satisfied. I have driven a truckload of gold bars over, and we can have a whole night to talk."

Ji An suddenly opened his eyes and looked at Mu Ke: "Who did you just say you wanted to save?"

Before Mu Ke repeated Bai Liu's name again, the door of the nursery was opened. Liu Jiayi and Mu Sicheng, who was leaning against the wall with his arms crossed, looked at Mu Ke with raised eyebrows: "You came pretty quickly."

——————

At one o'clock in the morning, Su Yang, feeling exhausted, knocked on the door.

The moment he opened it, he buried himself in Ji An's shoulders with all his strength and rubbed against her: "Wife, I'm back."

But this kind of laxity lasted less than a second for Su Yang. Soon, Su Yang stood up vigilantly, holding Ji An's shoulders, and walked around the house vigilantly: "Has anyone been to the house today?"

The room is not in the right state, something has been moved.

Ji An forced a smile and said, "…The air conditioner outside the nursery broke down and almost fell down. I asked someone to fix it."

"Is that so..." Su Yang relaxed a little. He kissed Ji An's head and said apologetically, "I'm sorry for letting you live in this second-hand house. When I'm done with this period of work, we'll have enough money to buy a new house."

Where would such a large sum of money come from to buy a new house?

Ji An wanted to ask, but she just lowered her head and leaned on Su Yang's shoulder in silence. She hummed softly and said, "There's nothing to be sorry about."

Su Yang didn't notice anything strange about Ji An. He unbuttoned his coat and ran straight to the nursery. Then he foolishly stuck his head in and pressed his face against his little daughter's. While doing so, he made some strange gurgling noises to amuse his daughter.

When Ji An saw Su Yang's silly look, she couldn't help but want to cry after experiencing a night of ups and downs that made her feel like she was going to collapse.

Su Yang turned around and saw Ji An secretly wiping away tears. He walked over helplessly and distressed, hugged Ji An's waist and pressed his forehead against Ji An's: "I've made you wait so long with worry. This is the nature of my job. Don't wait any longer in the future. Your body can't stand it. Go to sleep."

Ji An shook her head. She pressed down Su Yang's shoulders and put her hands on Su Yang's temples to give her a relaxing massage: "If I can't bear it, can you bear it?"

Su Yang completely relaxed under Ji An's massage. He lay on the chair and closed his eyes. His breathing soon became regular.

But Ji An knew that Su Yang was not asleep yet, he just fell into a dream state.

Normally, Su Yang's guard would be low at this time, so Ji An lowered his voice and asked casually, "Who are you trying to catch by making you work overtime tonight? Why is it so sudden? You told me you were going home for dinner, but you're working overtime until 1 a.m."

Su Yang's brows furrowed, but he didn't open his eyes: "I actually think that this person shouldn't be arrested. It was Captain Tang who launched a special arrest, but I don't understand why, because I didn't find any core evidence of his crime. But it does seem that this person should be involved, but I don't think it will develop to the point of detention."

"Recently, Captain Tang has been asking us to arrest people who have no core evidence and no signs of subsequent crimes." Su Yang sighed, "And he is in a bad state, often drinking and getting drunk. He even had a fight with me tonight. The team members also think that what he did is a bit out of line."

"He wasn't like this before..." Su Yang nodded and began to doze off, speaking in a daze, "But we should still trust Captain Tang. After all, it's for the good of all of us. If this man is really as Captain Tang said, then we only need to lock him up, and we'll all be free once and for all, and won't have to work so hard in the future..."

Having completely confirmed her thoughts, Ji An slowly exhaled a breath of foul air. She put down her hands that were massaging Su Yang and her eyes became firm.

After Su Yang fell asleep, Ji An quietly got out of the double bed. She took out Su Yang's work ID and work key from her work coat hanging behind her, opened the window of the nursery and threw them downstairs.

Then Ji An calmly closed the window, turned around and kissed the baby in the nursery, and left the nursery as if nothing had happened.

Hidden against the edge of the crib were two black leather suitcases.

…

Mu Sicheng, who had been waiting downstairs, looked at the work permit and key that fell down. He sniffed the odor on them, waved them in front of his nose a few times in disgust, and then curled his lips: "I don't know what's in this, the smell is really strong. Let's go, I remember its smell."

Mu Ke had already made the call. He looked at Mu Sicheng and Liu Jiayi and shook his phone: "I contacted the hacker. He said that by connecting Zi's dashcam, we can find the places Zi has been to."

"Let's go find a car."

The author has something to say:

6: I heard that someone spent two boxes of gold bars to save me?

Mu Ke (with his chest puffed out with pride): It’s me!

6 (squinting): Who told you I'm worth two boxes of gold bars? The most you can spend on saving me is a hundred dollars.

Mu Ke: ...

Maki Sicheng: ...

Liu Jiayi: You can get even more outrageous, Bai Liu, but this is not enough to pay for the round-trip taxi fare to the base!

Mu Ke (in panic and self-blame): I drove a truck full of gold bars, did I do something wrong? !

Liu Jiayi (snarling at Mu Ke): Don't just follow Bai Liu's words and start looking for faults! Can you give me some opinions, Mu Ke! You are an adult!

Today I unlocked the adult form of the cute little Mu Ke, and compared what Sven Chubby and Bai Liu learned. The son worships his father and has been learning from him. He began to think that money is omnipotent (?!?!
