Chapter 218: Chapter 218 - If It Really Doesn’t Work, I’ll Elope With You!

When Lin Bai suddenly said the word “death”, Yu Jinmo felt even more uneasy but just as she was about to ask, someone suddenly knocked on the door of the ward.

Then, two uniformed policemen walked in.

Yu Jinmo was stunned for a moment. Then, she quickly broke free from Lin Bai’s embrace and asked with a flushed face,”Police officers, what are you…”

The two police officers showed their IDs at the same time. Then, the older police officer said, “Let me introduce myself. I’m Rong Wenhai, the captain of this city’s Criminal Investigation Unit.”

Then, he turned to face Jiang Yu, who was lying on the hospital bed, and asked, “Are you Miss Jiang Yu?”

Jiang Yu did not expect that these two police officers were actually here to look for her.

She nodded uneasily. “I am.”

Captain Rong said seriously, “Hello, Miss Jiang. We have some information from you.”

“It’s about Mr. Wang Chenyu.”

The other young policeman next to him said to Lin Bai and Yu Jinmo, “The two of you, please leave for now.”

Lin Bai nodded calmly. “Okay.”

After saying that, he held Yu Jinmo’s hand and wanted to walk out.

Captain Rong stopped him.

“Mr. Lin, please wait a moment. Please don’t leave the hospital.”

“After we understand the situation from Miss Jiang, we will have to trouble you to go back with us to cooperate with the investigation.”

The police found Wang Chenyu dead and began to investigate. This was within Lin Bai’s expectations.

But what he could not understand was, why did they ask him to cooperate this time?

He did not have any grudges with Wang Chenyu. He was not at the scene when Wang Chenyu died.

In fact, until now, Lin Bai still did not know where Wang Chenyu died, and he was not interested in knowing either.

Although the police did not make things difficult for Lin Bai when they went to the police station to cooperate with the investigation, they had wasted more than half a day’s time.

Now that they had asked Lin Bai to go over, Lin Bai could not help but feel a little impatient and annoyed.

“Officer, Mr. Wang Chenyu and I don’t have any personal grudges. In fact, we’ve only met once.”

“I don’t know anything about his death, and I really can’t think of any useful clues to give you.”

The implication was:This matter has nothing to do with me. Don’t bother me.

Captain Rong said seriously, “Mr. Lin, you’ve misunderstood. We’re inviting you back for another case.”

He deliberately paused at this point and glanced at Yu Jinmo beside Lin Bai before continuing:

“It’s about why you appeared on An Chang Avenue at seven o’clock this morning.” An Chang Avenue was the place where Lin Bai had fought with Gao Qiao, the previous champion of the Hunter game, and eventually killed him.

After Gao Qiao died, the barrier that he had set up before his death broke by itself, and Lin Bai and the other players all returned to the real world.

However, in the view of passersby and the surveillance cameras, their group of people had appeared out of thin air.

It was likely that a witness had called the police, which was why the police would intervene in the investigation.

Lin Bai sighed in his heart, thinking that he could not hide from it in the end.

When Gao Qiao’s body disappeared, Lin Bai had felt a trace of relief, thinking that he could hide from the police’s investigation and interrogation.

However, the facts had now proven that whatever was supposed to come would come, and he could not hide from it no matter what.

“Alright, I got it. I’ll go back with you.”

Lin Bai said helplessly.

Captain Rong finally revealed a smile.

“Thank you for your cooperation.”

Lin Bai said, “Then we’ll leave first. I won’t disturb you guys while you’re trying to understand the situation.”

After saying that, he pulled Yu Jinmo out of the door.

Just as they left the ward, Yu Jinmo couldn’t wait to start asking questions.

“What exactly happened? What happened to you this morning?”

Lin Bai suddenly returned to the hospital early in the morning. He even hugged her and said something like “Nothing can separate us apart apart from death.”This was enough to make Yu Jinmo feel uneasy.

Now that the police still called Lin Bai back to question him, Yu Jinmo couldn’t help but let his imagination run wild.

She desperately wanted to know the answer.

It seemed that Yu Jinmo was panicking and worried. Lin Bai couldn’t help but feel a wave of regret.

If he had known that the police were asking him to go back because of what happened in the morning, he wouldn’t have said anything. He would have just gone back with them.

Fortunately, Captain Rong didn’t say anything more, or else Yu Jinmo would have been even more worried.

“Well… actually, it’s nothing much. I just offended some people when I was helping Mr.

A.”

“When I passed by An Chang Avenue in the morning, I coincidentally bumped into those people. There was some conflict and I pushed them a few times.”

“They probably called the police, which is why the police asked me to go to the police station.”

“Don’t worry, nothing will happen. I didn’t do anything to them, so I won’t be held responsible. They just called the police to disgust me.”

Lin Bai tried his best to make up a lie and try his best to smooth things over so that Yu Jinmo wouldn’t be too worried.

However, Yu Jinmo was still very nervous.

“What exactly did Mr. A make you do? Why did you offend someone? It can’t be the gangsters, right?”

Lin Bai quickly said, “No, no, they’re all decent businessmen. It’s just a conflict of interest. Don’t worry, everything will be fine.”

Yu Jinmo was still worried.

“Why don’t you stop helping Mr. A in the future…”

“Why didn’t he do those things himself? Why did he have to let you do it? There must be a reason behind it. I’m just afraid that you’re in danger.”

“I know you want to prove your ability to my dad, but if it’s in such a dangerous way, I’d rather you don’t prove it.”

“Anyway, it’s good that I know you have the ability. If My dad doesn’t believe it, then so be

it.”

“If it really doesn’t work, I’ll… I’ll elope with you! Who cares if he agrees or not!”

Yu Jinmo was really nervous.

Of course, she hoped that Lin Bai could prove his ability and gain her father’s approval. Then, she and Lin Bai would walk into the marriage hall under the witness and blessing of both parents.

However, if all of this required Lin Bai to take a huge risk in exchange, then she would rather not accept it!

If the parents objected, then so be it. She was already an adult anyway. As long as she was determined to marry, no one could stop her! When Lin Bai heard Yu Jinmo say something like “eloping”, he could not help but feel touched.

He knew that this girl in front of him had a deep affection for him.

However, at the same time, he was touched, there was also a trace of guilt.

Because he had too many secrets that he could not explain to Yu Jinmo.

That was why he had no choice but to use lie after lie to cover up and hide, making Yu Jinmo so worried and uneasy.

“Silly girl.”

Lin Bai’s heart ached as he pulled Yu Jinmo into his embrace and said softly,”I’m sorry for making you worry.”

“It’s really not as scary as you think. I’ll protect myself well and make your father approve of

me.”
