Freedom

"Xia Xinghe, if you want to die, fine, I'll make sure your wish is expediently delivered! What are you people doing, standing there doing nothing, arrest this b*tch!" Wushuang glared unsatisfactorily at the chief constable.

She thought they still had the handle of things.

The chief rolled his eyes at the woman's denseness, couldn't she tell that the winds were shifting?

He replied calmly, "Mrs. Chui, I'm here to inform you that Ms. Xia has received bail. We will investigate further regarding her allegedly libelous statement but as of now, Ms. Xia Xinghe is a free woman."

Wushuang's face fell. "What did you say?"

The chief repeated himself and added by way of explanation, "Mr. Xi Mubai had paid for Ms. Xia's bail so she is now free to go."

Wushuang and Wu Rong stared at each other in shock.

Xi Mubai paid for Xia Xinghe's bail‽

They had been divorced for years and had no contact ever since, why would he suddenly help her?
