My Darling, My Dearest novel Chapter 131

"I don't know." Lucas clenched his slender fingers, a worried expression emerging on his face. "We need to get there first."

Claris raised her eyebrows in curiosity, wondering why they had to go in such a hurry. It most likely had something to do with Rachel.

Rachel and Jack arrived ahead of them, with Kevin and Executive Fang following behind.

Kevin was not his usual self. His skin was dry and his lips were cracking. There were dark circles underneath his eyes. It looked like he hadn't slept at all.

Rachel was shocked by his appearance, "Kevin, are you okay?"

He tried to feign a small smile. "I'm okay. It's nothing."

He insisted that he was okay, but kept zoning out. He was obviously not in the proper mindset today.

Executive Fang was not in a good mood either. He sat across his nephew, glancing at him with a worried expression. As he greeted Rachel and Jack, he seemed too quiet and not himself.

Sensing that something important had happened, she exchanged a worried look with Jack.

Chief Ren entered the room alone. After a brief greeting and formal introductions, he immediately ■d

got down to business.

As he spoke to them, he was calm and confident, unlike last night when he had been timid in front of Jack.

He first apologized to Jack and Rachel.

"I'm sorry for what happened yesterday." An awkward silence came after. The tension in the room was thick and nobody spoke to one another.

Jack crossed his slender hands over his stomach, his face expressionless.

He was a little curious as to why Chief Ren's attitude was much calmer and more composed compared to yesterday.

Maybe Chief Ren had something he could turn the tables.

After apologizing, Chief Ren shifted his attention to the uncle and nephew.

"A tip was made to the police. However, the arrest that we conducted last night was a mistake. We didn't have enough evidence against the suspects. I apologize for what I have done to you!"

Kevin's pale face remained blank. Although he sat straight, his body was motionless.

On the other hand, Executive Fang was calm. He bent his index finger and knocked gently on the table. "Chief Ren, it's better to thoroughly investigate this matter and start from the very beginning."

Chief Ren said with an amiable smile, "That is true. If the patient's death has nothing to do with Doctor Kevin, then he will be safe." ■d

However, if the doctor was responsible for what happened, then that would be probable evidence for a lawsuit.

He had calmed down after yesterday, and he decided to not give in so easily.

His son had used the police station's resources and went straight to the hospital to arrest people without following proper protocols.

If his political opponents found out, it would have been the end of his career.

He knew he had to find a way to smooth things out. Otherwise, his political opponents would use it against him.

He was annoyed at his son, but he had to fix this issue immediately.

Even though no one had reported the incident to the police, he would still try to prevent it from being discovered.

He thought as long as he only dealt with Kevin and let Rachel go, Jack wouldn't make things difficult for him.

Chief Ren decided that the only way to solve the problem without covering it up, would be to orient the situation to his favor.

Jack stared at Chief Ren with a passive face, while Rachel had no clue as to what was currently happening.

The chief of police was little strange. He had been so timid in front of Jack the night before. But now he was so calm and bold. Something just did not add up.

Rachel frowned. "Why was the case filed even if there was not enough evidence?"

Chief Ren suddenly turned pale. He turned to look at Jack, silently pleading for help.

With a cold expression in his eyes, Jack said in a low voice, "Chief Ren, can we talk in your office?"

After a moment of pause, he seemed to understand what Jack was insinuating and nodded. "Of course." Looking around, he pretended to complain, "These people have no manners at all. They didn't even serve tea.

How about coming to my office and talk?"

Executive Fang didn't know what Chief Ren was doing and looked at Jack's direction. Jack stood up, straightened his clothes and said, "Okay."

Executive Fang looked at his nephew and motioned for him to stand up. "Let's go."

Kevin looked up at him blankly. Executive Fang frowned and whispered, "Don't be like this." He paused, as if he had something to say.

Executive Fang saw Jack whisper in Rachel's ear before he entered the office. Executive Fang wanted to have a word with her, hoping that she could put in a good word for Kevin with Jack.

Then, he smiled bitterly as he realized Jack wasn't the type to listen to other people.
