They sat in front of the officer, ready to get their statement recorded .
"Raise your head . "
The police officer barked a command at Xuxu as he looked at her .
Xuxu softly responded with an 'uh' and slowly lifted her head . She was nervous and her hands clenched tightly into fists on her lap .
When she revealed her face, it didn't surprise her when the police officer looked visibly stunned and dumbfounded . "You… you…"
"Shhh . " Xuxu whispered, "Please lower your volume . "
"Oh… okay," he indistinctly mumbled and nodded . He was nervous and anxious as he stammered . "You… hmmm . . . wait here . "
His tone was completely different .
He stood up and walked to a different desk and whispered to a colleague who was recording a suspect's statement .
She noticed that the other police officer instantly widened his eyes .
As he glanced at Xuxu, she quickly lowered her head to conceal her face .
The two officers had a hushed and quick conversation . One of them left with his phone to make a call .
After he came back, he politely said to Xuxu, "Our chief invites you to his office . "
"What's this situation?" Xuxu was dumbstruck for a moment before nodding . "Oh… Okay . "
She knew that this Chief wanted to pull some strings under the table . Even though she detested such behavior, she knew that she was innocent and her conscience was clear .
Going to the Chief's office was much safer as the chances of being recognized were much lower than staying in the main office .
The police chief's office was spacious, but plentiful drawers and cupboards occupied it .
The officer gestured towards a black leather couch . He politely said to Xuxu and Zhou Shuang, "Have a seat and I'll get you a drink . "
Then he turned around .
Zhou Shuang watched as he left and sneered in disdain . "These people are so two-faced . "
Xuxu turned her head and fiercely glared at her . "Shut up . "
The door abruptly swung open . A massive and tall middle-aged man entered . He was slightly bald, and he was wearing a thick leather jacket .
They knew he was the police chief . Otherwise, who would have dared to enter the Chief's office without knocking?
Xuxu sized him up quietly in her heart and revealed a brief smile .
The middle-aged man walked towards her and nodded . "Madam Yan . "
"Chief," the police officer addressed the middle-aged man . He was holding two cups of water and moved towards the coffee table . He placed the cups before Xuxu and Zhou Shuang .
The chief gave him a look, and he immediately nodded and left the room .
"Chief, it's nice to meet you . " Xuxu rose and politely nodded .
The police chief said, "Have a seat . "
Then he strode over to his desk .
Xuxu didn't sit down but trailed after him instead . As she walked, she explained, "Mr . Chief, my friend and I were singing at the bar, and we were really clueless that there was a problem with the bar . "
"I know, and I'm aware of the situation . " The police chief nodded and settled down on his chair . He put on an apologetic expression as he faced Xuxu . "My men had apprehended you by mistake, and I'm terribly sorry for what has happened . "
It seems as though his words had instantly lifted a massive burden off of Xuxu . "It's good that we've cleared the air . "
She wanted to ask if they could leave but felt that it was too direct and hasty .
She hesitated for a while and felt apologetic . She said, "Since this is a misunderstanding, I would like to trouble you to explain to the rest of the officers about this matter . "
The Chief understood her immediately and smiled . "I understand . I will make sure that this matter is kept under wraps and I'll inform all of them . "
