The Downtrodden Villain In A Redemption Romance Novel Chapter 90

Chapter 90 Pretending to be pitiful

Xia Guanshan stared at the astonishing string of arrival figures on the screen. Although most of the money had to be transferred back to Nangong’s family through various channels, the share that could be left behind after handling it was still enough to make people crazy.

The uneasiness I felt in Nangongchen’s office before was completely washed away by this huge sum of money.

He excitedly picked up Qin Lanru who was beside him and spun him around in a circle.

Qin Lanru hugged his neck and smiled happily, her well-maintained face full of pride.

“There is news from country X, but we still can’t contact Xu Wen.” Xia Guanshan put his wife down without any worry in his tone.

Qin Lanru arranged his clothes nonchalantly: “Why are you anxious? There will always be a way to find him when we get to the place. The official attitude is ambiguous now, is it possible that they can still protect them for the rest of their lives?”

Xia Guanshan stroked his wife’s long, silky hair lovingly: “My wife is still thoughtful.”

The faint sound of police sirens in the distance became clearer and clearer as the two men talked from far to near.

Unfortunately, the couple, who were so obsessed with money, completely ignored the approaching warning.

Until the piercing siren sounded throughout the summer courtyard!

“What’s going on?!” The smile on Qin Lanru’s face froze instantly.

Before they could react, there was a loud noise downstairs!

The door was violently broken open.

Well-trained armed personnel flooded in and instantly controlled all exits on the first floor.

In just a moment, the group of people rushed to the second floor and surrounded the stunned Xia Guanshan and Qin Lanru.

Under the black hole of gunfire, the two men’s faces instantly turned pale.

More police officers continued to pour in, and the Xia family’s servants, drivers and other staff were controlled one by one.

The whole villa was in chaos, and screams occurred one after another.

A middle-aged police officer with distinctive epaulettes walked out steadily, his sharp eyes scanning the pale-faced couple:

“Xia Guanshan and Qin Lanru, you are suspected of organizing illegal overseas transactions. You are now arrested in accordance with the law!”

Xia Guanshan’s lips trembled as he forced himself to calm down: “I want to contact my lawyer!”

The police officer ignored his request and waved directly to his subordinate: “Take it away!”

Two police officers immediately stepped forward and handcuffed them neatly.

Qin Lanru’s legs were weak and she could hardly stand. In the end, she was forced to walk out of the room by the police.

———-

In the car in the early morning, Xu Wen leaned on the passenger seat, his eyelids half-closed, listening to the radio announcer broadcast the news in a steady tone, and his consciousness was gradually blurring.

The calm beep of the system in his mind suddenly sounded, but the content shocked him and made him wake up instantly.

[The target character’s redemption value has increased. Current redemption value: What’s going on?Xu Wen asked eagerly in his mind, “Has the Nangong family fallen?””

[The Xia family was found to be suspected of organizing illegal overseas transactions and has been arrested by the police in accordance with the law.】

“Xia family?!”

The news was so unexpected that Xu Wen almost blurted out.

He turned his head suddenly and looked at Lu Qingrang who was driving.

As if feeling his burning gaze, Lu Qingrang turned his head slightly and cast a silent inquiry with his eyes.

Xu Wen quickly regained his composure, forced a smile, and waved his hand: “No…it’s okay.”

However, his heart was roaring madly at the system.

“Oh my God, the Nangong family was not touched, so why did the Xia family be overthrown?”

He immediately thought of Lu Qingrang’s calm but gloomy eyes when he met his parents a few days ago, and his heart tightened.

“System, why didn’t you notify me of such important news earlier?”

[Relevant investigations have been conducted in secret before. It was not until this morning that the Nangong family decided to completely abandon the Xia family, and the matter became a foregone conclusion.】

[Expect large-scale reports today.】

Xu Wen felt anxious and subconsciously raised his hand to scratch his hair, feeling complicated.

He secretly looked at Lu Qingrang’s profile.

At this moment, the radio station in the car began to broadcast a real-time news: “The latest news from our station, the domestic police successfully solved a case…”

Xu Wen’s heart skipped a beat, and almost as a reflex, he reached out his hand and turned off the radio with a “pop” sound.

This sudden move really caught Lu Qingrang’s attention, and he cast a slightly doubtful look again.

“What’s wrong?Lu Qingrang asked, with confusion in his voice.

“Ah…it’s a bit noisy, I want to be quiet.”Xu Wen explained dryly, but his heartbeat was very fast.

His mind was spinning rapidly, what should he do?There is definitely no way to hide this matter, the news reports are overwhelming…

After a brief struggle, he decided that he could hide it for a while, at least until he got to the office.

In the next car, Xu Wen racked his brains to find various topics, trying to distract Lu Qingrang’s attention. He kept thinking about how to use the gentlest language to tell him the news later.

The two of them had just entered the office area one after the other. Xu Wen was still chatting insignificant gossip, trying to maintain the relaxed atmosphere longer.

However, the next second, Zhou Yan’s penetrating voice came from the other end of the corridor:

“Mr. Lu!Brother Lu!Did you hear that?That dad of yours got caught in an accident!”There was even a bit of schadenfreude in his tone.

“!!!”There was a buzz in Xu Wen’s head. He carefully covered up the news all the way, but it was suddenly revealed.

He had no time to care about Zhou Yan’s tone and immediately turned to see Lu Qingrang’s reaction.

Lu Qing paused suddenly, his eyes widened slightly, and his pupils trembled slightly as if frightened. The corners of his mouth that always had a gentle smile disappeared little by little. Finally, his long eyelashes lowered, completely covering the emotions in his eyes.

Xu Wen’s heart tightened, and he came closer almost instantly, gently holding Lu Qingrang’s arm with one hand, lowering his voice and eagerly comforting: “Brother Lu, it’s okay, let’s go first…”

At this time, the culprit Zhou Yan completely walked out from the corner.

He originally wanted to say something more, but when he saw the scene in front of him –

Lu Qingrang lowered his head, with a look of huge shock on his face, while Xu Wen frowned, guarding him with a worried face, and was whispering something when Zhou Yan’s words suddenly got stuck on his lips.

His expression froze, and the corners of his mouth twitched unnaturally.

As an old employee of Weiwen Technology, Zhou Yan had heard about some things, but no matter whether it was the Xia family or the previous Miss Su, he had never seen Lu Qingrang like this.

At this moment, the two people seemed to be one of their own, isolated from the outside world.

Xu Wen focused all his attention on Lu Qingrang, completely unaware of Zhou Yan’s wonderful expression. He gently pulled Lu Qingrang, walked into the office quickly, and closed the door.

In the corridor, only Lin Wei was left holding an empty cup and preparing to get water. She and Zhou Yan looked at each other.

The two looked at each other and exclaimed from between their teeth almost at the same time:

“Tsk tsk.”

“It’s terrible.”

Then he shuddered involuntarily.
