Flash Marriage: He is a Wife-pampering Addict

Chapter 1802: Chapter 1801: The Real Culprit

Bai Xiaoxiao sent a message to Luo Haofeng on the way to Yi Pin Xuan Pavilion, worried.

She wanted to gauge his father’s attitude first.

Luo Haofeng replied, saying, "Father really likes me!"

Bai Xiaoxiao looked at the message, unable to believe it at all.

Her father had told her last time that he wouldn’t oppose her relationship with Luo Haofeng.

But saying he likes Luo Haofeng is hard to believe!

Feeling puzzled all the way, Bai Xiaoxiao glanced at the magnificent building of Yi Pin Xuan Pavilion when she got out of the car.

She pressed her lips together before walking inside, directly going to the third-floor private room.

Just as she reached the door, she heard faint voices mingled with laughter coming from inside.

Bai Xiaoxiao’s eyes filled with a tinge of surprise, it sounded like the atmosphere inside was very harmonious, could what Luo Haofeng said be true?

Curiously, she pushed open the door to find out.

What she saw was Luo Haofeng pouring wine for Mr. Bai; his tall figure standing before Mr. Bai, slightly bent over.

Since he was facing away from the door, Bai Xiaoxiao couldn’t see his expression, but from his hand’s movements, she could tell his respectfulness.

Facing the room door, Wen Jin saw Bai Xiaoxiao and smiled slightly, his handsome face looking pleased, saying happily, "Xiaoxiao, come in."

Upon hearing Wen Jin’s voice, Luo Haofeng insisted on filling Mr. Bai’s glass with wine, put down the bottle, and then turned to look at the door.

His gaze met Bai Xiaoxiao’s upon her entry, his charming eyes instantly spread with a captivating smile as he watched her walk over.

"Xiaoxiao."

Luo Haofeng gently called out, turning and pulling out a chair beside Mr. Bai.

He watched her with a warm smile.

Bai Xiaoxiao approached her father and chirped, "Dad."

"Sit down."

Mr. Bai smiled gently, and Bai Xiaoxiao immediately nodded, sitting down in the chair Luo Haofeng had pulled out.

After she sat, Luo Haofeng returned to his seat.

He called over the waiter, ordering a few more dishes.

They were all dishes Bai Xiaoxiao loved.

Mr. Bai took all of this in, noting Luo Haofeng’s intimate understanding of Xiaoxiao’s preferences, knowing what she liked without asking.

It seemed he was sincere toward Xiaoxiao.

Even more touching for Mr. Bai was when Xiaoxiao and Luo Haofeng exchanged glances, both showing affection in their eyes.

That was something that couldn’t be hidden or feigned.

Xiaoxiao was genuinely happy being with Luo Haofeng, unlike when she was with Meng Ke, where her smile was always faint and polite, never reaching her eyes.

As a father, Mr. Bai’s requirements were few, as long as his daughter was happy and cheerful.

After lunch, Luo Haofeng offered to take Mr. Bai and Bai Xiaoxiao home, but Mr. Bai refused.

"You’d better not go to my house temporarily, don’t let Xiaoxiao’s mother know you and Xiaoxiao are seeing each other, considering the kidnapping case has not been fully investigated yet, has not been closed. As long as the police haven’t found the real culprit, your mother’s suspicion can’t be cleared."

Upon hearing Mr. Bai’s words, Luo Haofeng restrained his smile, earnestly speaking, "Uncle, although my mom and Aunt have their grievances, all her focus lately has been on my dad, she really didn’t do the kidnapping."

"It doesn’t help to just believe."

Just as Mr. Bai finished speaking, his phone rang.

Taking out his phone and seeing the caller, Mr. Bai glanced at Luo Haofeng, pressed the answer button, "Hello!"

The call was from Lu Zhiyan.

"President Bai, there’s a new lead on Mrs. Bai’s kidnapping case..."

Mr. Bai’s face showed slight surprise, "Really, who’s the real culprit?"

"..."

Although Bai Xiaoxiao and the others couldn’t hear the sound from the phone, they immediately deduced from Mr. Bai’s words that the call was from the police.

Concerning her mother’s kidnapping case.

Bai Xiaoxiao couldn’t help but widen her eyes, staring fixedly at Mr. Bai’s phone.

After finishing the call, seeing everyone looking at him, Mr. Bai calmly explained, "Officer Lu called, saying there’s new progress on the case, they’ve already arrested the main suspect based on clues."

"Dad, who is it?"

Bai Xiaoxiao immediately asked, Luo Haofeng and Mo Xiuchen just watched, waiting for Mr. Bai’s response.

Mr. Bai furrowed his brows slightly, "Officer Lu didn’t say on the phone, we’ll know once we go to the police station now."

Xiao Yuting, who was beside them, saw Mr. Bai look at him and immediately smiled, "Uncle Bai, I’m free today, I’ll go to the police station with you all to see who’s the reckless one daring to kidnap Aunt."

At the end, his smile faded, a layer of anger appearing on his handsome face.

Mo Xiuchen spoke with a smile, "Let’s go together then!"

Mr. Bai nodded, not refusing them from going together.

A group of people arrived at the police station, where Lu Zhiyan waited at the door.

"Zhiyan, who’s the suspect?"

Wen Jin was the first to ask, and Lu Zhiyan calmly replied, "A woman named Xu Wanfei."

Upon hearing this, Bai Xiaoxiao instinctively looked at Xiao Yuting beside her.

She hadn’t forgotten Xu Wanfei was the cousin of Xu Wanqi and Xiao Yuting’s former girlfriend.

Xiao Yuting’s expression changed, quickly distancing himself, "Xiaoxiao, I have nothing to do with Xu Wanfei now."

His words brought everyone’s gaze to him, showing puzzled eyes.

Lu Zhiyan frowned curiously, asking, "President Xiao, do you know Xu Wanfei?"

Xiao Yuting laughed awkwardly, "That was ages ago, I don’t know her now, but why did she kidnap Aunt?"

This was something Xiao Yuting couldn’t understand.

His face showed confusion, but his eyes looked toward Bai Xiaoxiao.

Lu Zhiyan spoke, "Let’s go inside, Xu Wanfei has been interrogated and she admitted it."

The group went to Lu Zhiyan’s office.

He personally poured the tea before letting everyone watch the video.

At first, Xu Wanfei didn’t admit it, but in front of irrefutable evidence, she could only confess.

Her reason was simple, "I was standing up for my cousin, my cousin liked Meng Ke for so many years, risked herself twice for him, risking her life."

In the office, everyone watched the video, different expressions on their faces.

Xu Wanfei continued, "But Meng Ke was bewitched by Bai Xiaoxiao, wanted to leave my cousin for her; if not for me persuading her, she would have taken her own life. As her cousin, I naturally wanted to help her."

"..."

"My cousin doesn’t know about this, I didn’t tell her. Originally, I thought kidnapping Qiao Xiuyun would make Bai Xiaoxiao leave Meng Ke."

"Who knew Meng Ke would stumble into it, sacrificing himself to save Qiao Xiuyun; all of this, it’s Bai Xiaoxiao’s fault."

At last, Xu Wanfei cursed angrily, making one wonder if she liked Meng Ke herself.
