When the police arrived, Yang Dong was shoving Jiang Ci.

The police took both Jiang Ci and Yang Dong away.

Chu Shuo drove after them, but he could only linger outside the police station.

The sky was overcast, and it started to rain, making Chu Shuo increasingly anxious.

Eventually, the police asked Jiang Ci's relatives and friends to pay for her bail.

Jiang Ci was afraid Lu Yudong would find out about this, so she didn't dare call him. Besides, they were only in a contractual relationship, and Lu Yudong had no obligation to help her.

She called Jiang Yi.

"Money? I don't have money, just my life," Jiang Yi said before hanging up.

Last time, after he drugged Jiang Ci, Jiang Yi was questioned by Chu Shuo and got scolded harshly, almost losing his job. He realized that his plan failed and only brought trouble upon himself.

He held a grudge against Jiang Ci, so how could he help her?

The "beep beep" sound from the phone made Jiang Ci feel extremely awkward; after all, this was her own brother.

Jiang Ci hadn't held much hope, but who else could she turn to if not her closest family?

She didn't want to trouble Chu Shuo either.

"Can't find anyone?" the police asked Jiang Ci.

"No," Jiang Ci replied, feeling somewhat aggrieved.

The police looked into Jiang Ci's social connections and discovered that she was married, and her husband was none other than the famous Lu Yudong.

They called Lu Yudong.

"Fighting? Her?" Lu Yudong's voice was incredulous, but he remained calm. "I'll be right there."

At the detention center, the police explained the situation to him in detail.

As Lu Yudong listened, his expression darkened. After paying Jiang Ci's bail, the police released her.

"Going to a training class and getting involved in such messy affairs?" Lu Yudong lit a cigarette at the entrance of the detention center and asked Jiang Ci, "Do you even understand what 'married' means?"

"How much was the bail? I'll pay you back. Sorry for the trouble," Jiang Ci said, feeling guilty and aggrieved.

"Planning to pay me back? Six thousand," Lu Yudong said mockingly, as if it was the biggest joke.

This woman, who had just taken a million from him a few days ago, wanted to pay him back six thousand yuan.

"Even between siblings, accounts should be clear," Jiang Ci said, taking out her phone and transferring six thousand yuan to Lu Yudong via WeChat.

Lu Yudong didn't look at his phone or accept the money.

The wool comes from the sheep's back; it was meaningless.

"Don't tell Grandpa," Jiang Ci pleaded.

"I'm not interested in talking about your mess," Lu Yudong said as he walked out of the detention center lobby.

Jiang Ci followed him closely, clutching her backpack.

It was dark, and a fine drizzle was falling.

Lu Yudong didn't carry an umbrella, walking in the rain, the droplets forming beads on his hair.

Jiang Ci felt a bit dazed. She was initially walking beside Lu Yudong, but his long strides left her behind.

Lu Yudong never liked carrying an umbrella in the rain.

Jiang Ci jogged a few steps, using her backpack to shield his head. She had to stand on tiptoe, being much shorter than Lu Yudong.

"Why don't you like carrying an umbrella in the rain?" Jiang Ci's words were filled with genuine concern, sounding noticeably different. "What if you catch a cold?"

Lu Yudong frowned slightly, glancing at Jiang Ci.

"Usually, I just walk a few steps from the car in the underground garage. It's not much rain," Lu Yudong replied succinctly.

"Still, you should carry an umbrella," Jiang Ci advised earnestly.

Lu Yudong said nothing.

At the parking lot, Chu Shuo saw Jiang Ci coming out and hurried over to ask what had happened.

Lu Yudong's expression darkened even more.

Jiang Ci felt even more embarrassed, as Lu Yudong had just mocked her for being surrounded by messy affairs.

"Who are you to Jiang Ci?" Chu Shuo asked, seeing Lu Yudong's indifferent face and Jiang Ci holding a bag over his head, feeling even more indignant.

"You didn't tell him?" Lu Yudong frowned slightly, turning to ask Jiang Ci.

Jiang Ci didn't answer. Despite the rain and the dirty ground, she awkwardly shuffled her feet.

"Why didn't you bail her out?" Lu Yudong questioned Chu Shuo, his demeanor unfathomable.

"I didn't know what was happening inside; no one called me."

Lu Yudong smirked slightly, "But the police called me."

"So, Jiang Ci, did you tell the police he was your friend?" Chu Shuo asked nervously. "You could have mentioned me too; I don't mind the trouble."

Lu Yudong gave a mocking smile, looking at Jiang Ci.

Jiang Ci continued shuffling her feet, feeling extremely awkward.

"Jiang Ci, Jiang Ci..." Chu Shuo had a bad feeling.

"The police found out... he's my husband."

Chu Shuo: ...
