Cheng Hao watched him rush into the car, lock the door tightly, and smiled slightly.
Shi Lan grabbed him and said worriedly, "Senior brother, when the police come, don't say anything. I'll speak. I can tell the police that he molested me and that I hit him in self-defense."
Cheng Hao felt a warmth in his heart when he heard her say that.
Shi Lan is a conservative girl, and there are probably not many people she would risk her reputation to protect. He is honored to be one of them.
"It's alright, the police will probably welcome his visit."
Shi Lan was taken aback, somewhat confused.
Cheng Hao smiled slightly, "He is suspected of using improper means to build houses and illegal bribery. The police have been paying attention to him for a long time and are just waiting for the relevant evidence to be confirmed. If he goes to the police station now, it will be like walking into a trap.

Shi Lan stared at Cheng Hao without saying a word.
Cheng Hao glanced at her, his gaze wandering around, refusing to meet her eyes. "If you don't say anything, that means you agree."
"Let's go, let's go. Their business is good, if we go too late we won't get a seat," Cheng Hao straightened his collar, took long strides, and left quickly.
Shi Lan snorted and slowly followed. (To be continued.)
