Chapter 1449 Proactive Plea for Help? Warning Signs_2

“Well, thank you, officer. … Speaking of which, my cousin and I used to go shopping together as kids. We always liked visiting a dessert shop called Zero Point Zero One. Once I’m better, I definitely want to go there with her again to have some snacks.”

Hearing this from the other party.

The tone was full of relief.

Luo Fei also smiled.

“Ma’am, if I were you, I would focus on recovering first. That’s more important than anything.”

Hearing Luo Fei agree.

The other party was also slightly relieved.

“Thanks for this, Mr. Luo. Honestly, it’s kind of embarrassing to talk about this.”

“Being in my fifties and still liking these things is a bit embarrassing. Sadly, age is not just a number and can’t be reversed.”

The undertone was somewhat self-conscious.

The statement was clearly a bit awkward, hence the slightly forced smile that followed.

Luo Fei, however, was still smiling.

“There’s nothing wrong with that. If there’s nothing else, Ms. Su, we’ll be on our way.”

With that, Luo Fei left with Su Jianfan.

But as the two were leaving.

Su Jianfan couldn’t help but voice his concerns.

“Mr. Luo, this might be my imagination, but why do I feel like this situation is actually more complicated than I thought?”

Seeing Su Jianfan looked somewhat doubtful.

Luo Fei also spoke.

“Isn’t it obvious? Ms. Su is being held under house arrest. Moreover, she’s somewhat dazed, and her speech is unclear. Someone probably drugged her.”

This revelation startled Su Jianfan.

“What? Someone drugged Ms. Su? Could it be the man we just met?”

Looking at the shocked face of the other person.

As if not wanting to believe his own words.

Luo Fei also nodded.

“Yes, if I hadn’t seen it with my own eyes, I might not have believed it either. It’s shocking to see such things happening. To be honest, I’m quite surprised myself.”

Just upon hearing Luo Fei’s judgment.

Su Jianfan still found it hard to believe.

“But Mr. Luo, on what basis did you make this judgment? I’m really curious about this.”

Catching the clear skepticism in the other person’s voice.

Luo Fei neither confirmed nor denied.

“Earlier, she mentioned that dessert shop and said if only the numbers could be reversed. Now think about it.”

As Luo Fei spoke to this point.

Su Jianfan shuddered.

“Oh yes, Mr. Luo, reversed numbers make 110! Was she trying to ask us to call the police for help?”

Noting the surprise on Su Jianfan’s face.

Luo Fei neither confirmed nor denied.

“Exactly, that’s what I think. I guess she wanted us to call the police but couldn’t say it directly, so she resorted to this method for help.”

Luo Fei’s words made Su Jianfan nod.

“I get it now. Mr. Luo, then what are we waiting for? We should rescue her immediately, shouldn’t we?”

Su Jianfan said, puzzled.

Yet Luo Fei seriously remarked.

“Su Jianfan, we can’t rush in such situations. Because we don’t know what the other party’s intentions are. And if we alert them, it might raise their suspicions. It also increases the risk of Ms. Su becoming a target or hostage.”

Luo Fei’s words surprised Su Jianfan. Though reluctant.

He could only take a deep breath.

“Mr. Luo, you make a good point. But does it mean we just do nothing and watch?”

Observing the anxious expression of the other person.

Sweat forming on his forehead.

Luo Fei could only comfort him.

“There are things we can’t help. I know it’s hard to accept, but we really can only watch and wait. Moreover, we need a plan. Otherwise, not only will we fail to help, but we might also endanger her further.”

Luo Fei’s reminder.

Left Su Jianfan neither affirming nor denying.

“Hearing you, Mr. Luo, is starting to make sense?”

Seeing Su Jianfan hesitating at this, still visibly uneasy.

Luo Fei had to offer reassurance.

“Su Jianfan, some situations are just beyond our control.”

“Being too hasty is no good.”

Luo Fei stated solemnly.

Even Su Jianfan appeared hesitant.

“Mr. Luo, we just assured Su Jian that we’d bring her family back safely. Now, under this situation, how do we explain it to her?”

Su Jianfan said, feeling embarrassed.

But Luo Fei shook his head.

“I actually believe we should be straightforward with her. Otherwise, we could inadvertently create more trouble.”

Luo Fei knew well that Su Jian is a proactive person.

If he lied to her.

The serious consequences.

Could lead Su Jian to take action herself.

This would only lead to more chaos.

After hearing Luo Fei’s words.

Su Jianfan was still somewhat apprehensive.

“Mr. Luo, it does seem you’re right.”

Sensing the doubtful gaze from the other.

Luo Fei neither confirmed nor denied.

“Of course, these are circumstances beyond our control.”

“The best we can do is let things unfold naturally.”

Luo Fei added, his tone growing weary.

And hearing him sigh.

Su Jianfan understood it was a tough situation.

If the time comes and she gets angry.

It would turn into quite a hassle.

But after a brief pause.

After Luo Fei explained his thinking.

Su Jianfan remained uncertain.

“Mr. Luo, is this really going to work?”

Almost simultaneously, Luo Fei had dialed Su Manying’s phone.

But upon hearing the news from Luo Fei.

Su Manying was sincerely relieved.

“Mr. Luo, thank you. Without you, I would’ve been left in the dark. I truly wouldn’t know how to handle this.”

Hearing such sincere gratitude.

Luo Fei was a bit surprised.

“Ms. Su, you’re not worried at all? It’s surprising that you’re not concerned at all about this.”

Noting the other person’s skepticism.

Unsure how to believe her understanding.

Su Manying neither confirmed nor denied.

“Mr. Luo, you’re joking.”

“I truly appreciate your honesty with me, which is indeed very helpful.”

“And your sincerity means a lot to me.”

Detecting genuine gratitude from the other person.

Luo Fei waved it off.

“Ms. Su, you’re too kind. I’m merely doing my duty. Helping the public is my job as a police officer.”

“However, we need a thorough investigation, and the rescue plan must be strictly devised. So please, Ms. Su, don’t take any actions yourself before then.”

Luo Fei’s words led Su Manying to hesitate.

“Mr. Luo, rest assured, I won’t act recklessly. Feel better now?”

Hearing the sincerity from Su Manying.

Luo Fei neither confirmed nor denied.

“No worries, Ms. Su. If you’re willing to cooperate, the police can get to the truth as quickly as possible. Rest assured of that.”

Upon hearing Luo Fei agree.

Su Manying felt slightly at ease.

“Mr. Luo, to be honest, I’m very uncertain. I’m even scared. But when I think of my sister waiting for me, I try to stay calm. Otherwise, worrying alone won’t help.”

Luo Fei knew well that Su Manying was hoping he could protect her sister.

So at this moment.

Luo Fei smiled.

“Don’t worry, Ms. Su. I’ve got this.”

A while later, after returning to the office building.

Luo Fei immediately planned to call an urgent meeting.
