Forced Pampering: Haughty Husband, Please Restrain Yourself

Chapter 1317: Chapter 1331: That’s Overstepping Boundaries

Originally it was just that there was something wrong with the drink; they still needed to come over, collect evidence, and then move to control the suspect. But Wang Xia actually did something like that, so now, whether or not there was a problem with the drink, whether or not it came from her hand, she can’t escape the charge of attempted murder.

The two officers behind Xia Ke stepped forward, hauled Wang Xia up, put handcuffs on her, and performed a routine search.

”Captain, we found this on the suspect,” one officer handed the two medicine boxes in his hand to Xia Ke.

”Isn’t that... isn’t that...”

Xue saw the medicine boxes and was so shocked she couldn’t speak; the look she gave Wang Xia also became subtle.

An Ran was curious; she walked over and took the boxes from Xia Ke. ”Captain Xia, what kind of medicine is this?”

By the time she finished asking, she had also seen the name of the drug. Her small face instantly flushed red. She opened the boxes; the blister packs in both boxes were empty.

Handing the items back to Xia Ke, An Ran’s expression had already returned to normal.

”Miss, I’ll take the person and the items back first. I’ll give Chief Shen a detailed report on the follow-up work,” Xia Ke said.

An Ran nodded. Just then, the door to the private room was forcefully pushed open from the outside, and Jia Chenggang appeared in the doorway.

When he saw what was happening inside and the barely-breathing Wang Xia, Jia Chenggang immediately blocked the doorway and questioned Xia Ke, ”What has she done that you have to treat her like this?”

Jia Chenggang had stayed home all day, and when he figured it was about time for Wang Xia to get off work, he came over to pick her up.

Mainly, even he himself felt he’d tossed Wang Xia around too much in the past few days. Worried that, as a rough guy, he couldn’t win her over, he’d thought to take advantage of her getting off work early today to take her out for a proper walk, maybe see a movie or something.

He hadn’t expected to wait at the door for twenty minutes; seeing that her quitting time had already passed by ten minutes, she still hadn’t come out.

Later, when he saw people from the Criminal Investigation Unit enter the Kong Mansion Banquet, he realized something had happened. After asking at the front desk, he rushed up here.

Seeing that the newcomer had a hardened, iron-blooded air, and judging by his build and stance, he was either an active Guard Team member or a retired one, Xia Ke was a bit more courteous and patiently explained, ”This lady is suspected of attempted murder and has been placed under arrest.”

”Impossible,” Jia Chenggang rejected flatly. ”I know her. She would never kill anyone. There must be some kind of misunderstanding.”

When he saw An Ran inside, he became even less calm. Pointing at An Ran, he said, ”It’s her, it must be her, right? This woman already had a prejudice against her. You can’t just listen to one side of the story. Besides, since you say it’s attempted murder, why are you only arresting her? Why isn’t that woman going back with you for investigation? Shouldn’t everyone in this private room be taken back to the station, detained, investigated, and have their statements taken?”

Xia Ke rubbed his nose. In principle, that was indeed how it should go. But this was someone Lieutenant Colonel Lin had personally saved, and there were so many eyewitnesses. Was there really any need to investigate?

Before Xia Ke could speak, An Ran clapped her hands from behind, tilted her small head, and wore a faint smile. ”Captain Jia, you really showed up at just the right time. Should I say you’re blinded by love, or that you’re sticking your nose too far in? Since when is it your turn to tell the Criminal Investigation Unit how to handle a case? As it happens, this police officer here does trust me, and doesn’t need me to go assist in the investigation. So what exactly can you do about it?”

Jia Chenggang had already found An Ran an eyesore in every possible way. Hearing her sarcasm, if it weren’t for remembering who he was, he would have really wanted to go over and give her a good lesson.
