Chapter 224 Rachel Went To The Police Station
Celine didn''t know how long she had waited there, but she was d when someone suddenly came
in. But to her disappointment, it wasn''t the one she was expecting.
A policewoman brought her a bottle of water.
Celine took it and thanked her in a low voice. The policewoman replied softly, "You''re wee."
When the policewoman was about to leave, Celine stood up in a hurry and stopped her, "Wait!"
The policewoman, who was already holding the doorknob, stopped and turned to look at her. "Any
problem?" she asked doubtfully.
Celine licked her dry lips first before she asked, "When can I go home?"
The policewoman smiled and replied, "My senior will be here at any minute. He has something to
ask you."
"Something to ask me?" Celine repeated nervously. Her face turned pale in an instant. She grasped
the bottle with both hands tightly and said, "I''ve already told you everything. I swear." The
policewoman raised an eyebrow and replied, "It is a normal procedure. You have nothing to fear."
What the policewoman had said was just natural, but for Celine, it sounded harsh. She even felt that
she was mocking her.
Her cheeks flushed. Her lips moved as if she wanted to say something, but no words came out of
her mouth.
The policewoman thought that she had nothing more to say, so she turned to open the door.
However, Celine called her again.
She took a few steps forward to get near the policewoman and asked in a panicky voice, "Wait. Is
the man who came with me still there?" She was referring to Jack.
"Who? I''ll ask my colleagues."
The policewoman''s words made Celine''s heart sink, but she still managed to say, "Thank you."
When Rachel called Howard, she wasn''t able to get much information from him. Apparently, he
wasn''t quite sure what had really happened.
Rachel was so anxious, so she immediately asked where Jack was.
Howard told her which police station Jack went.
Rachel was puzzled. She couldn''t understand why Jack had to go to the police station. But since
she was so worried about him, she borrowed some money from Andy and hurriedly went downstairs
to take a taxi.
Andy offered to call his driver to pick Rachel up. It was alreadyte at night, so he was worried
about her safety.
But Rachel couldn''t wait any longer, so she refused his offer politely.
Since she refused his offer, Andy gave his phone to Rachel so she could use it in case of
emergency.
Rachel epted it and rushed to the door. Before she could leave, Andy said, "Don''t worry too
much. I will ask what happened at the banquet, then I will call you if I find some useful information."
He pointed at the phone in Rachel''s hand.
Rachel thanked him again and left.
Actually, Andy was thinking about something else. He was beside Rachel when she was talking to
Howard, and he heard that Howard was apparently avoiding some questions.
He wondered why Howard was so hesitant to answer Rachel''s questions. Perhaps there were
things that he couldn''t tell her.
Andy snorted upon thinking about it. To rify things, he called the vi to ask what really happened
during the banquet.
Rachel was able to hail a taxi immediately the moment she walked out of the hospital. When she
seated, the driver looked at her for a while before asking, "Where are you going, miss?"
She told him the address of the police station.
The taxi driver was stunned for a moment, but then answered, "Okay." While he was driving, he
couldn''t help wondering what happened to his passenger.
Rachel came from a banquet, so she was wearing something eye-catching. And she took a taxi
from the hospital going to the police station, so the driver got more curious. He couldn''t help asking,
"What happened to you, miss? Is there an emergency? I can drive faster if you want."
Rachel was surprised by the driver''s words, but she still answered, "It''s okay. Just maintain that
speed. Thank you."
"Alright." The driver drove smoothly in the traffic.
Rachel quietly looked out of the window and watched the view outside, her face looked solemn.
Maybe the driver was too bored, or he was really curious about her, so he asked again, "Miss, it''s
alreadyte at night. Why are you going to the police station?"
"I have something to deal with," she replied. She lowered her head and yed with Andy''s
cellphone. Feeling a little uneasy, she was not in the mood to talk with the driver.
Perhaps the driver noticed her mood, so he embarrassingly stopped asking more questions. Since it
was alreadyte at night, there was no traffic jam. They also didn''t meet any red lights, so the taxi
went very fast. It only took them ten minutes to reach the police station.
The driver turned to look at her and said, "We''re almost there, miss."
Rachel nodded and looked out of the window again. She realized that she didn''t know where they
were, so she requested to the driver, "Can you take me directly to the gate of the station?"
"Sure, no problem."
Suddenly, the phone in Rachel''s hand vibrated. She looked at the screen and found out it was an
unregistered number.
Rachel hesitated to answer it. After all, it wasn''t her phone.
She contemted for a while before she decided to answer it.
Andy''s voice came at the other end of the line.
"Ms. Shen, is your husband''s surname is Fu?"
Rachel was surprised, but she was also delighted to hear some information from him.
At that moment, the taxi had already stopped at the gate of the police station. The driver turned to
tell Rachel, but he saw that she was attentively talking with someone on the phone. The driver
waited patiently for Rachel to finish her phone call. Fortunately, it didn''t take that long.
When Rachel noticed that the taxi had already stopped, she immediately paid the driver and got
out.
She was walking to the police station when a very fast BMW sports car suddenly emerged. Rachel
held her breath and closed her eyes,
waiting for the car to hit her. But what she heard was the screeching sound of tires. The driver was
fast enough to step on the brake.
The taxi driver, who was about to drive away, heard the deafening noise. When he turned to check
what it was, he saw the man got out of the white BMW and mmed the door.
The man looked very angry.
The taxi driver didn''t leave until the man
disappeared in the distance. He then
remembered that his passenger also didn''t look like an ordinary person.
He couldn''t help chuckling. The world of well-off wasplicated. He couldn''t understand why they
likeding to the police station at night.
What was wrong with them?
It was past nine o''clock in the evening. Only a few policemen were on duty.
Three policemen were standing outside, and Rachel exined to one of them why she was there.
They looked at each other after hearing her words.
They only received one police report tonight, so they all knew about it. It was said that the person
who came earlier was someone influential.
The policeman who talked with Rachel thought for a few seconds. He did not tell her immediately,
but let her stay in the lobby for a while.
He said that he needed to check inside. Rachel didn''t say anything. Her mind was actually
preupied.
All the while, she thought that something bad had happened to Jack. But when Andy called, she
found out that it was Celine who was in trouble.
No wonder Howard was so hesitant to tell her the whole story. Perhaps he was afraid that she
would be bad when she heard it.
Jack showed their love in front of everyone, then all of a sudden, he apanied Celine to the
police station. She must not feel good about it.
Howard was somehow right. Rachel couldn''t tell what she felt when she heard that Jack and Celine
were together at the moment.
She felt that her heart was suddenly stung by something. Now she realized that Jack didn''te to
the hospital to pick her up because he chose to apany Celine to the police station.
When she found out that Jack was in trouble, she panicked and rushed to the police station. Only to
find out that he was there with Celine.
Did he forget to leave a message for her because he was with Celine?
Thinking about it made Rachel''s knees weak. She felt like all her confidence disappeared in an
instant.
At first, she hesitated to get out of the taxi. But since she was already there, she decided to go
inside.
While waiting for the policeman toe back, she prepared herself mentally.
She didn''t expect that she would lose her confidence at this moment.
When the policeman returned, she immediately asked, "Are they still there?"
The young policeman replied, "They''re almost finished with the interrogation. I will let you know
when they''re done. May I know your name?"
"My name is Rachel Shen," she answered. "May I ask who is being interrogated?"
"It''s ady whose surname is Duan. Are you a friend of hers?" Instead of answering the policeman''s
question, she asked again, "No one else?"
"Only Miss Duan is inside the interrogation room.
But there''s another one waiting for your friend outside." The policeman had already thought that she
was really Celine''s friend.
Then the policeman added, "Don''t worry. Her boyfriend has been waiting outside."
