Chapter 400 The Person Behind It



All of this could explain the issue of how she addressed him earlier, so Song Mai didn't say anything more.

She doesn't pursue connections, and even though the Shen family is extending an olive branch to her, she has no intention of using the Shen family to advance her career.

Shen Xiujing noticed her restraint and said in a low voice, "It's alright, Grandma is always like this, you don't need to take it to heart."

"Grandma Shen is so concerned about me, I won't say anything." Song Mai was generous and poised, and her whole demeanor made Grandma Shen even more satisfied.

After the banquet ended, Lin Ran took An An home to rest, while Song Mai and Chu Yunhang went to the police station together.

When they learned that it was Qian Xiran who had brought her away, Chu Yunxing immediately took her to the police station.

At the police station, Song Mai saw Qian Xiran looking very reserved. She looked around awkwardly before finally fixing her gaze on Song Mai.

Her eyes lit up, and she exclaimed, "Miss Bai, I'm here!"

Nowadays, everyone calls me either Song Mai or Bai Wan'er; it's time to find a way to standardize how we address each other.

Song Mai frowned imperceptibly.

Chu Yunxing listened to her words and silently kept them in mind.

The two men approached Qian Xiran, and the police officer briefly explained what had just happened.

After a moment of contemplation, Song Mai looked at her and asked, "Can you tell me where you plan to take An'an?"

"I just want to take An'an out for a walk, don't you understand?" Qian Xiran said anxiously.

As a wealthy young lady, being detained in a police station is hardly a respectable situation.

What's more, with so many people watching her, Qian Xiran felt increasingly humiliated.

Song Mai lowered her eyes without changing her expression and nodded gently: "Since you are unwilling to talk, there is nothing I can do to help you. You are now suspected of trafficking my child, do you expect me to plead for you?"

"Bai Wan'er! Don't go too far!" Qian Xiran slammed her hand on the table in a fit of anger, only to be met with a cold glare from the police officer beside her.

She quickly and obediently sat up straight, a pleading look on her face: "Whatever you want me to compensate you for, I will give it to you, as long as you can get me out of here."

After saying that, she leaned closer mysteriously and said, "I know you want money, and I can give you lots and lots of money."

Upon hearing this, Chu Yunxing's face showed anger: "She's my girlfriend now, do you think she would want your little bit of money?"

Everyone knows that Chu Yunxing is incredibly wealthy.

Qian Xiran was speechless for a moment, her mind racing as she tried to figure out how to resolve the awkward situation.

"Or if you want anything else, just tell me and I can give it to you," Qian Xiran said anxiously.

I'll do anything to get her out of here.

Song Mai looked at her with pity: "You're being used as a pawn now, don't you know how to repent?"

"What do you mean?" Qian Xiran's eyes widened.

Song Mai could see the panic in her eyes and sighed helplessly, "Since you're unwilling to talk about it, I'll go back first."

"It's all a misunderstanding. It's just that I like this child and wanted to take her out to play. Do you think such a small request is unreasonable?" Qian Xiran shook her head in a panic and reached out to grab her hand.

Song Mai sighed and said in a low voice, "It's not excessive, but I have the right to suspect that you are trying to abduct children."

After Song Mai finished speaking, she wanted to turn her head to look at Chu Yunxing.

To uncover the real culprit, the most important thing is for the two people to work together.

But clearly, Chu Yunxing didn't understand his point.

Song Mai couldn't directly give him a meaningful look.

Why aren't you cooperating with me? We have absolutely no teamwork.

Chu Yunxing thought she wanted to handle it alone, since Song Mai had always firmly refused when he tried to intervene before.

Now that she wants to rely on me, does it mean that I also exist in her heart?

Chu Yunxing smiled, then quickly returned to his normal expression.

Qian Xiran witnessed the change in his expression and pondered to herself, "Could it be that these two people in front of me are complete lunatics?"

“You understand, even if you leave here, I have a million ways to make you reveal who is behind it all.” Chu Yunxing tapped his fingertips lightly on the table. “If you don’t want to watch the Qian family go bankrupt because of yourself, you’d better tell the truth.”

A look of surprise flashed across Song Mai's face.

She only asked Chu Yunxing to help her cooperate, but she didn't expect him to directly threaten her.

She nudged Chu Yunxing's arm awkwardly and said helplessly, "Actually, it's not necessary..."

...There's no need to be so harsh.

However, this tactic did work on Qian Xiran, as she understood Chu Yunxing's methods.

With the strength of Yunxing Group, it would only take a moment to bankrupt the Qian family.

“I said, I will tell you everything.”

Qian Xiran seemed to have lost all her strength in an instant, and slumped into the chair.

“Actually, Miss Liu came to me before and said that the child is your lifeline. If I use the child to threaten you, you can leave Xiujing.”

These words made Chu Yunxing tense up immediately.

I was jealous before because of Shen Xiujing, and now I've heard about their relationship again.

He replied in an annoyed tone, "Liu Jia'er?"

"Yes, it should be her. She hasn't revealed her real identity to me, but I've seen what she looks like before, so I'm sure I'm not mistaken."

Song Mai nodded, but did not answer.

I never expected that Liu Jia'er would chase me all the way here, even though I'm far away in the south city.

She was like a haunting ghost, always following me around.

An An is indeed her weakness, which is why the other party keeps taking advantage of her.

Having endured this long, we shouldn't show them any more mercy.

"I understand, but do you have any relevant evidence?"

Qian Xiran shook her head: "She is a cautious person and would never leave any clues."

"I understand." Song Mai got up and left.

Watching her resolute departure, Qian Xiran anxiously shouted, "Didn't you promise to rescue me? Are you a liar who doesn't keep his word?"

Chu Yunxing stood up and looked down at her.

"The police will release him on time tomorrow. He should stay here today to learn his lesson."

Qian Xiran watched the two leave helplessly, her face filled with despair and regret.

She shouldn't be enemies with Song Mai, because she wouldn't be a match for her.

Song Mai has so many people helping her that even the Qian family is not enough to support her.

She sighed wearily and resigned herself to staying there obediently.

Back in the car, Song Mai remained silent, her mind preoccupied with the events of the day.
