Chapter 859 Welcome back, Mrs. Huo
The conversation stopped instantly. Mrs. Chen was relatively calm, but Shang Wanwan was confused.
"Wanwan, stay in your room and don't go out. I'll go downstairs to take a look. Drink the milk and go to bed early. Sleeping late is not good for a girl's skin."
Mrs. Chen smiled and gave her some instructions, then turned around and walked out gracefully.
Downstairs, Mr. Chen had just arrived home exhausted when no less than ten policemen in uniform came in. Mr. Chen asked the servant to make tea for them while he stood there politely.
"I wonder what's going on so late at night?"
One of the sentences was about a leader who looked like a team leader walking up and looking at Chen Rongsheng with a serious expression.
"Mr. Chen, we have received a report that you are suspected of using young girls to induce high-ranking officials to commit crimes and accepting bribes. We must now take you back to the police station for further investigation."
Mrs. Chen came down from the building and tightened her grip on the escalator.
"Where's the evidence?"
Mrs. Chen's voice is gentle yet a little sharp, yet still elegant.
She looked at those people and said, "It's so late, it's too inhumane to suddenly come to arrest someone. We need evidence for everything. It's not that we don't admit the crimes you mentioned, but if you can provide real evidence, it's reasonable for my husband to go with you."
The maid served tea. The police had handled various cases before and would not take Mrs. Chen's words seriously. Moreover, they came prepared.
"Mrs. Chen, I just told you that we have received a report and we are taking him away for investigation. We need to collect evidence and investigate the truth, so Mr. Chen must come with us. Don't waste your time, take him away."
Mrs. Chen's expression changed at this time, and Chen Rongsheng held her hand to comfort her.
"I have never done anything wrong. Don't worry, I will be back tomorrow morning. If you have anything, call my assistant and ask him to contact my lawyer."
After Chen Rongsheng finished his instructions, he left calmly.
Mrs. Chen remained rare calm after her husband passed away, and found a lawyer for Chen Rongsheng as quickly as possible. She sat in the living room, feeling uneasy.
Shang Wanwan had just reached the upstairs corridor and looked down, taking in everything that was happening.
Mr. Chen was taken away. Oh my God, what happened?
She really wanted to check on Mrs. Chen, but if she went downstairs at this time, Mrs. Chen would probably be embarrassed.
The crime of taking Mr. Chen away is too abominable. Taking advantage of a young girl to accept bribes, if convicted of this crime, the offender may be sentenced to life imprisonment.
Shang Wanwan simply didn't believe that Mr. Chen was that kind of person.
She returned to the room and closed the door quietly, the screen of her cell phone remaining on.
Huo Dongming sent message after message.
"Why, are you not going back because you saw him or are you really determined not to go home? Is Mr. Chen okay?"
At the end of the message, Shang Wanwan trembled and almost collapsed to the floor.
How is Mr. Chen?
How did Huo Dongming know about Mr. Chen?
She quickly picked up her phone and called Huo Dongming, but the other party hung up on her unexpectedly.
"It's late. Let's talk tomorrow. I'll wait for you at home."
Huo Dongming was very confident that Shang Wanwan would definitely go.
Only then did she realize that she was the one who had harmed Mr. Chen's family.
But at this time Shang Wanwan couldn't sleep.
Even a fool could understand the meaning between the lines of Huo Dongming's words and what happened to Mr. Chen tonight.
She still underestimated him and was happy too early.
She thought he would definitely let her go if he had another woman. However, a man will never mind having one more woman in his fish pond, just like a woman will always have one less piece of clothing in her closet.
Shang Wanwan changed her clothes and went downstairs. Mrs. Chen was sitting on the sofa in a daze. She was stunned when she heard the footsteps and the suitcase in Shang Wanwan's hand.
"Wanwan, where are you going so late?"
Shang Wanwan looked at Mrs. Chen and felt a lump in her throat.
She was reluctant to leave these people who were so kind to her, but she had to leave now, otherwise Mr. Chen would not be able to come back tomorrow.
"Mrs. Chen, thank you for your concern for me. And Mr. Song, I'm afraid I won't see him again. Please thank him for me."
Mrs. Chen was still troubled by the fact that her husband was suddenly taken away, and after Shang Wanwan caused such a fuss, she was really panicked.
"What happened? You're in a hurry to leave."
Mrs. Chen stared at her and said, "Don't worry. If my husband is really in trouble, I will send you to a safe place as soon as possible. This is not ancient times. There is no such thing as exterminating nine generations of a family."
Mrs. Chen tried to use her rare sense of humor to ease the unrest in her heart, but Shang Wanwan shook her head.
"I'm going back to the Huo family. Mr. Chen will be back safely tomorrow. He will be fine."
Shang Wanwan was certain that it was Huo Dongming who did it. No one knew his despicable methods better than herself. Mrs. Chen's eyes were full of confusion.
"You don't have to rush back to the Huo family. How can you be so sure that my husband will come back?"
Shang Wanwan wanted to say something but stopped. She couldn't tell them about Huo Dongming's affairs. If Mrs. Chen knew about Huo Dongming's character, she would never let her go back to him.
If Huo Dongming didn't see her after tonight, Mr. Chen might never come back tomorrow. She didn't want to implicate someone who was good to her.
"Anyway, Mrs. Chen, I have to go back today. Please let me go."
Otherwise it will be too late.
Mrs. Chen had finally brought her daughter back and made her promise to consider adopting her as her goddaughter. How could she let Shang Wanwan go so easily?
In the end, Shang Wanwan had no choice but to lie to her.
"I still have feelings for Huo Dongming, and I am pregnant with his child. I want to go back. He is the father of the child and will not do anything to me. Mrs. Chen, my child needs a father. I can't just leave."
Mrs. Chen was shocked. So, Shang Wanwan's reaction in the past two days was morning sickness, not a cold. She is also a woman, how could she be so confused.
After Shang Wanwan said this, it would be a bit inhumane for Mrs. Chen not to let her go. She had no choice but to call the driver at home to arrange for someone to take her home.
Mrs. Chen was worried about Shang Wanwan being alone, so she sent her off personally.
Shang Wanwan only wanted to return to Huo Dongming as soon as possible so that he would not let Mr. Chen suffer an unjust accusation, so she no longer rejected Mrs. Chen's kindness.
Along the way, Shang Wanwan's heart was in turmoil, but Mrs. Chen was calmer.
"Don't be afraid, Wanwan. No matter what happens when you return to Huo Dongming, you must always remember that the Chen family is your strongest backing. My husband and I are always here to welcome you. Don't just stand on your own when things go wrong. Do you understand?"
Mrs. Chen watched her daughter leave again and couldn't help hugging her, tears streaming down her face uncontrollably.
Shang Wanwan thought she was sad about Mr. Chen's matter and patted her on the back gently.
"Thank you, Mr. Chen will definitely come back safely."
The car drove into Huo Dongming's villa. Someone outside the yard rang the doorbell. The houses in the yard were brightly lit. It was obvious that Huo Dongming either had not returned or had not slept yet.
Mother Zhang heard the sound and quickly asked someone to open the door.
She was startled to see Shang Wanwan standing outside the door.
Mrs. Chen wanted to go in with Shang Wanwan, but Shang Wanwan stopped her at the door.
"Mrs. Chen, it's too late. You should go home. I'm fine. I'll call you tomorrow."
Mrs. Chen nodded with tears in her eyes: "Okay, take care of yourself."
She watched Shang Wanwan slowly walk into the villa and the door slowly close. The sound was like a heavy hammer, hitting Mrs. Chen's heart hard.
Shang Wanwan walked in, and Aunt Zhang followed closely into the hall carrying her suitcase.
The furnishings in the villa were the same as when she left, nothing had changed.
Huo Dongming was sitting on the sofa in the lobby. He was wearing casual home clothes and flipping through a magazine on his lap.
Shang Wanwan's footsteps caught his attention. Huo Dongming had a cigarette in his hand and smoked half of it.
The mist made his handsome face look blurry and unreal.
He saw Shang Wanwan with a sarcastic smile on his face.
"Mrs. Huo, welcome back."
