Tao Leke no longer cared about Su Yiwen’s infidelity; she just wanted to know where all this money came from and what he was doing here. As she struggled with these questions, Su Yiwen gave her a meaningful look, then turned to the man, his voice cold, “I don’t know her. What am I supposed to acknowledge?”
Wait, what was Su Yiwen saying? He… didn’t know her? Tao Leke was dumbfounded. Why would he say such a thing? Was it just because she had ruined his fun, now pretending not to know her? What did she even mean to him? Her heart grew colder, on the verge of breaking.
“She really isn’t your wife?” the man asked again. “No,” Su Yiwen answered without hesitation.
“Well, I thought if she were your wife, it could be a misunderstanding. Since she’s not, let’s handle it by the book. She’s just a cop, after all,” the man said with a sinister tone, paused, then walked over to Tao Leke, glancing at her belly, “You’re about to be a mother, I feel for you, but who told you to see things you shouldn’t have?”
Before she could react, someone grabbed Tao Leke from behind, ready to drag her away, causing her to scream. “Su—!” Tao Leke tried to speak but was gagged, tears streaming down her face. Were they going to kill her to silence her? If so, what had she seen that she shouldn’t have… Was it the money?
Seeing her bound, Su Yiwen could no longer maintain his composure and shouted, “Let her go!”
“You said you didn’t know her,” the man sat back down, watching the couple, his expression growing darker. “Or has Director Su been deceiving me all along?”
Before Su Yiwen could respond, the door was kicked open, and a gust of wind swept through. “Police! Everyone, hands up!” Then the two men holding Tao Leke fell to the ground. Tao Leke, collapsed on the floor, gasping for air, tears in her eyes, turned to see it was Han Xu, looking particularly striking in his blue-black police uniform under the dim yellow light, a black pistol in his hand aimed at the eerie man on the sofa.
