Chapter 27: First Night in the Police Station
Chapter 27: First Night Spent at the Police Station
Inside the police station, Reidon and Mouse were waiting nervously.
They were locked in a room with only two chairs.
They sat there for quite a long time and didn’t even know what time it was.
They were treated like prisoners, and no one paid any attention to them, even though Mouse banged on the door to protest.
They were hungry and didn’t have anything to eat.
After an unknown period, both of them were sitting in frustration, and still, no one told them anything.
They were on tenterhooks waiting for questioning from the police.
At this moment, a middle-aged policeman opened the door.
Behind him was a young policeman.
Both of them looked very serious.
Reidon and Mouse were relieved that justice was about to be done for them.
“Have you caught the men who were chasing us?”
Before the police officer could say anything, Reidon spoke first.
If they did not catch the pursuers, they would be in danger once they left the station.
The police officer did not answer the two of them. Instead, he looked at them meaningfully.
This made Reidon very confused. He did not know what was going on. The two police officers circled them like hyenas surveying their prey.
“We’ve caught the criminal.”
Upon hearing this, Mouse jumped up happily.
“Those people are dead meat! You should sentence those people severely!”
Mouse looked at Reidon, his eyebrows dancing with joy.
However, he felt that there was something strange about the two policemen’s words, but he could not pinpoint what it was.
“Where are they? Where are they? I want to see those who were chasing us!”
Mouse continued to ask.
He thought that the police would answer his doubts.
But unexpectedly, the police snorted.
“The criminals are the two of you!”
“What?”
Mouse wanted to leave, but the police closed the door and brought the two back as if they were criminals.
Mouse could not believe it. He wondered if he had heard wrong.
The police looked at the two of them with a faint smile and said slowly,
“You two are suspected of dangerous driving. I also suspect that you might have been drunk driving. That’s why you did such a thing! And you aren’t sober!”
It was like an interrogation.
When Mouse heard this, he was stunned.
“No, they have been chasing us! We were forced! I didn’t drink!”
“We didn’t see anyone chasing you, but we saw you speeding and breaking into a toll booth! You’ve seriously violated the Law!”
The policeman said very seriously, and he didn’t seem to be joking with them at all.
Reidon and Mouse looked at each other, and both of them had an ominous expression on their faces.
At this moment, Reidon felt that running to the police station was a very bad decision.
Those people used some unknown means to escape.
But the two of them could not escape.
Mouse looked agitated and wanted to explain.
But Reidon held his hand and hinted that he had better not talk back to the policeman.
This time, he might have been tricked.
Then, they obediently stayed in the detention room of the police station, waiting for their families to come to bail them out and discuss compensation.
Fortunately, the circumstances of the two were not particularly serious, or they would have been sentenced.
The two of them spent the night in the police station.
This was the first time that Reidon spent the night in the police station, and it was a very uncomfortable night.
The police station was not as comfortable as their home. There was no blanket or bed, just a chair to sit on.
It was like torture.
The people who came to the police station were criminals. The police were unwilling to treat them as normal people.
At night, the police brought food to the two of them.
The food was terrible. There was also a bottle of industrial fruit juice. It was full of essence. There was no taste of fruit.
That night at the police station, Reidon had a nightmare.
He dreamed that he was in prison, then he woke up in the middle of the night, and did not sleep again.
The next day, the two were called out.
When Reidon walked out, he was stunned.
Because he was bailed out by none other than Nyx.
Why would it be her?
Anyway, she shouldn’t be the one to bail him out.
Reidon had no family in this city.
He thought it was a colleague or the boss who would come to save him.
He did not expect it to be Nyx.
Where was she? She looked at Reidon with a half-smile.
Reidon was a little embarrassed. He remembered that he had quarreled with her yesterday morning.
Now, it was her who had come to bail him out.
But Mouse didn’t know that.
He remembered that this beauty was the same woman who had hugged Reidon in the hotel.
He tactfully said, “Sister-in-law! You’re here!”
Mouse immediately walked to Nyx’s side, his face was full of flattery.
However, Nyx completely ignored him and stared straight at Reidon.
Reidon felt goosebumps and turned his head to take a deep breath.
When he turned his head back, his face was full of smiles.
“Sister, you’re here. It’s been hard on you. I’ll treat you to a meal later.”
For a flexible man, this bit of grievances was nothing.
It was more important to leave the police station as soon as possible.
“Don’t say that. I’m just here to take a look. I’m not your mother, why should I care about you?”
Nyx looked at Reidon.
She said what he had once said to Nyx.
She was still holding a grudge.
Reidon did not have any intentions of retorting. He still had a smile on his face. “You see, you’re overthinking things. It was my fault yesterday morning. From now on, you’re my mother. Even if you want to be my grandmother, I’d have no objections!”
As Reidon said this, he encouraged himself in his heart.
As a man, he had to give way to a woman.
He could not hold a grudge like a woman.
Spending the night in the police station was very uncomfortable.
When Nyx saw Reidon’s cheeky smile, it refreshed her understanding of Reidon once again.
She did not expect a person to be shameless to this extent.
“Alright, the police station is not a place for you two to flirt. If you want to bail us out, hurry up and go through the formalities!”
The police officer walked over and said.
Reidon could only continue to beg Nyx.
When Nyx saw Reidon like this, she laughed coldly. Then, in her high heels, she left to go through bail procedures for the two.
