Chapter 681: Chapter 681: Tonight, We Are All Lai Shengxia
Tang Li didn’t just retrieve that string of apartnt keys from the detention center office.
Even though Ethan had taken precautions by specifying “apartnt keys” on the power of attorney, it couldn’t prevent Tang Li from getting his cellphone.
The procedure to collect the stored confiscated items was handled by a female police officer.
Ethan was locked up for solicitation, and being a foreigner, the police officer rembered him. Seeing Tang Li wearing a mask, she couldn’t help but take a second glance at this family mber.
For n caught soliciting, it’s often their other half who suffer the most.
Therefore, when the officer learned that Tang Li was there to receive the confiscated items of the foreign national, she imdiately opened the drawer and took out the sealed bag containing the cellphone, apartnt keys, and a lighter.
Just as the officer was handing over the keys, a relative suddenly said, “My brother-in-law has done such a thing, making it known to everyone. This morning, my sister had a miscarriage and was hospitalized. When I left, she was still in bed crying. My father was against her marrying a foreigner in the first place, but she didn’t listen, saying she trusted her own judgent. Now, the child is gone, and the doctors say she might not be able to have children in the future.”
The female officer felt a pang of sympathy and couldn’t resist offering so comfort: “Condolences.”
After speaking, she handed over the keys.
The family mber received the apartnt keys but didn’t leave imdiately, as if there was sothing difficult to say. The confused officer looked at her, about to ask, when the young woman spoke first: “Can you give my brother-in-law’s cellphone?”
“That…” The officer was in a bit of a dilemma.
“I actually snuck out without my family knowing tonight. My sister is hospitalized, and when my dad went to the bank to withdraw money, he found only five hundred left on my sister’s card. The original six million-plus savings are all gone.”
The officer was surprised: “How could such a large sum of money just disappear?”
“That’s why I ca to the detention center. My sister never guarded against my brother-in-law, who over the past few months had gradually transferred the savings from her card. He not only sses around outside but also plans to take the savings and run back to Las Vegas.”
“I’ve found out that he’s bought plane tickets with another woman for half a month from now. I’m not sure about their relationship, but I’m also afraid he might harm my sister.”
Saying this, Tang Li looked at the officer again: “So, I hope Comrade Policeman can hand over my brother-in-law’s cellphone to . I promise I won’t do anything bad, just check the information inside. Once my brother-in-law gets out, you can tell him the truth. I’ll leave a copy of my ID card here.”
Tang Li opened her backpack and took out a folded A4 paper.
The officer took it and saw the na on the ID card: “Your na is Lai Shengxia?”
“Yes.” Tang Li pulled down her mask.
The officer gave her a look and compared it with the ID card copy. There was indeed a resemblance of around fifty to sixty percent, and then she handed over the sealed bag: “Then take it with you.”
Before leaving, Tang Li picked up the pen on the desk and wrote her cell number on a sticky note: “If my brother-in-law gives you any trouble because of this, call this number, and I’ll sort it out.”
It was past 8 pm when Tang Li walked out of the detention center gates.
A Jinbei Haise was parked by the roadside.
Tang Li headed straight over and called out to the baby-faced young man in the driver’s seat: “Wang Cuihua?”
Yan Zhu: “…”
After getting into the car, Tang Li handed the cellphone and apartnt key to the other person: “I want to know all the recent communication between him and Lai Shengxia.”
Wearing a Morning Robe, Lai Shengxia stood in front of the bedroom window drinking red wine.
After a while, the sound of a door opening ca from downstairs.
Tang Li had just co upstairs. Passing by Lai Shengxia’s bedroom, the door opened, and Lai Shengxia looked at her, smiling: “Ah Li, you’ve t the heir of the Winter Family and still plan to keep it from the family?”
