Chapter 138 - Useless interrogation

"Wuu..." the little girl burst into tears.

The policemen in the living room cowered in fright. This little girl just called Lu Aotian "daddy". Lu Aotian had a child? That wasn't the point. Their presence had made a prominent little miss cry, weren't their lives over now?

Lu Aotian laughed at his scared daughter, making the policemen even more shocked at how gentle he could be.

"Princess, why are you crying?"

"Are they here to...to..." she sniffled as she rubbed her teary eyes.

"To arrest you? No, you're not a criminal. Why would they arrest you?"

She burried her face into her father's chest for protection. "But...but...Little Jia ate candy."

She was admitting her crimes? What a good citizen.

He rubbed her back as he smiled. This little girl's logic..."Now, for that you will get a punishment from Daddy. These uncles will not arrest you for that."

Hearing that she was safe, she stopped crying. Then she looked up to her father's face and asked, "Daddy, what is to 'arrest'?

Lu Aotian had a headache. Was she this ignorant?

"Oh, you're here already." Wan Jia had finished dressing up and came down.

She looked at Little Jia whose eyes were still wet from crying. "Aotian, what did you do to my baby this time?"

"She was just scared." he said to her, then looked at the men. "You guys may start now. Princess, go play with your nanny for a while."

Little Jia shook her little head. She did not want to go.

"Let her stay. She will not understand anything anyway." Wan Jia said.

The room turned serious.

With Lu Aotian present, they would not be able to make things difficult for Wan Jia and could only be polite.

"Miss Wan Jia, what was your relationship with the He family?" their leader asked.

"No beating around the bush." Lu Aotian scolded before she could answer.

Who were they kidding? He already knew who was pushing them to frame her and of course that wicked man they were working for must have told them her identity.

The leader cowered and rephrased his question. "Miss Wan Jia, could you explain in detail what happened?"

"Wait, Miss Wan Jia, do you mind if I record this conversation?"

Wan Jia did not mind, but Lu Aotian gave him a warning look, if he had any funny motives...

Wan Jia gave them a brief narration. "I only went to ask them something. They answered me and I left."

"Miss Wan Jia, could you be precise? What did you ask them and what was their answer?"

"I'm sure you know that I grew up in that family. I only went to ask if my biological mother had ever dropped by."

Wan Jia did not want to reveal too many details because Lu Aotian had already alerted her that this could be part of Yun Jifeng's scheme. She had to be careful in case her words were used against her.

After asking her a few irrelevant questions, they ended their interrogation and were ready to leave.

All this while, a certain little girl did not hear a thing. She was busy studying the leader's waist. What was that black thing, was it part of his belt? She was really curious. She really wanted to go near it and poke it. If she knew that it was a gun, she would probably scream in fear.

"I won't see you off." Lu Aotian said.

Then he looked at them sternly. "Who else did you see apart from Wan Jia and I?"

"No one!" they shook their heads in unison.

How unfortunate! They would have earned a huge bonus from Yun Jifeng if they told him that Lu Aotian and Wan Jia had a daughter, but they would rather keep it to themselves and preserve their lives.

...

"Honey, will they really keep quiet? We should have sent Little Jia to the old residence before they came."

"Don't worry. They wouldn't speak a word of it."

They were scared of Lu Aotian's vengeance just as much as they were scared of hell. Besides, it was good for Little Jia to meet different people. She was going to be taken to school soon, and she would come in contact with different people. Also, when that time comes, her existence would be known. Even if those officers spoke about her, it wouldn't cause too much of an impact.

"Okay, so what now?" Wan Jia asked.

He held her waist and pulled her against his body. "Obviously, they wanted to use tricky questions and misinterpretation to make it seem like you admitted to the crime. They were just scared because I was present. Just keep calm and let your man deal with these things, mmh?"

"If you say so." she kissed his lips.

"What in the world! This is all you got?" Yun Jifeng bellowed.

What kind of questions were they even asking? Didn't they know to ask questions that would make that girl implicate herself? How useless!

"Boss, they said that Lu Aotian was present. They didn't dare to ask any of those questions."

Yun Jifeng who had always been proud and full of himself erupted. "So what if Lu Aotian was there? Is he a god? Am I any less powerful than him? Don't they know to respect me? Would they rather offend me, huh?"

The poor subordinate was struggling in his heart. He really wished he could tell his boss that Lu Aotian was indeed way more powerful than him, and that he and his father were digging their own graves by messing with his woman.
