Chapter 3: Meeting the Ex-Husband Again

"Ms. Jiang, we now suspect you of involvement in child trafficking. Please come with us!"

The police officer behind her spoke in a cold, hard tone, while several other officers had already rushed into the room, picked up Yanbao, and carried him into the suite's bedroom, closing the door behind them, clearly afraid of frightening the child.

Jiang Baobao's eyes widened in disbelief.

What were they saying?

Child trafficking?

She tried to struggle, but her hands were instantly twisted even tighter!

"Please cooperate with the investigation; you can say whatever you have to say back at the police station!" The officer's attitude was firm, and as he spoke, he forcibly pressed Jiang Baobao to turn and leave the room.

A lump of frustration rose in Jiang Baobao's chest, and she was unable to defend herself.

"Officer, there must be some mistake somewhere? That really is my son, his name is Jiang Mobai, if you don't believe me, you can go check..."

Halfway through her sentence, she saw the scene outside the door and instantly lost her voice.

She saw that in the entire hallway, there was a bodyguard in black standing almost every two steps!

There were even some at the elevator entrance!

Jiang Baobao's eyes widened abruptly...

Damn it!

Was there some mistake?

Had she accidentally offended someone?

How could there be such a massive display?

Jiang Baobao felt depressed and completely powerless to fight back, and in the end, she could only be taken to the police car in a state of gloom.

"Officer, there must be a misunderstanding. My son must be very scared right now. I can go with you to explain, can you take him with you? Don't leave him alone..."

"You don't need to worry about that!" The officer cut Jiang Baobao off directly and slammed the car door shut with a bang.

Jiang Baobao had no choice but to be taken to the police station and brought into an interrogation room.

Outside the police station.

Yanbao was taken by two officers to the black Maybach at the entrance.

The moment he saw Li Beijue, his small body trembled slightly.

"Daddy... I'm sorry..."

Yanbao took the initiative to admit his mistake, trying his best to straighten his small frame as he stood obediently in front of Li Beijue.

"Why did you go with a stranger?" Li Beijue looked at the little guy in front of him, his tone extremely cold.

Yanbao pursed his lips tightly and said nothing.

Since he was little, what he feared most was this expression on Li Beijue's face.

"Because... I..." Yanbao opened his mouth, the word "Mommy" on the tip of his tongue.

But upon catching Li Beijue's gaze, he swallowed it back down abruptly.

Daddy didn't like him mentioning Mommy, so he'd better not tell Daddy that Mommy was back yet!

"Because I didn't want to attend the banquet tonight, that lady..."

Yanbao paused for a moment, hesitated for two seconds, and lied for the first time in his life: "I took the initiative to go with that lady because I didn't think she looked like a bad person, and I was afraid of being found by the bodyguard uncles... Daddy, don't blame that lady, it was my fault..."

"Not like a bad person?"

Li Beijue let out a cold snort, his tone suddenly turning even colder: "Regardless of whether she is good or bad, the reason she was taken away by the police today is because you were running around everywhere, understand?"

He spoke with deliberate severity, wanting him to understand the seriousness of his mistake.

Yanbao indeed became dejected instantly, and the expression on his small face grew anxious.

"Daddy, today's incident was all my fault, because... because at the banquet, the other children were all with their mommies... so..." He couldn't help but blurt out the reason, his voice carrying a rare hint of a sob.

Seeing the little guy's somewhat aggrieved expression, Li Beijue's heart suddenly softened for a moment.

Yanbao noticed it immediately, and seeing his expression seem to loosen a bit, he continued to plead: "Daddy... please don't blame that lady, okay? I promise I won't run around anymore, and I will obediently accompany you to the banquet... Please don't be angry anymore, okay?"

Li Beijue did not speak.

After a long silence, he finally took a deep breath and rolled down the car window.

"That woman can be released!"

"Understood, Mr. Li." The assistant agreed immediately and turned to walk toward the police station.

At the same time, Yanbao also said happily and loudly: "Thank you, Daddy!"

He looked out the window, his small face regaining much of its luster.

Mommy could be released, but he didn't know when he would be able to see Mommy again...

He still wanted to apologize to her properly...

Li Beijue also turned his head to look out the window, his eyes deep.

He had always been strict in his discipline of Yanbao and had forbidden him from bringing up topics related to "Mommy."

Yanbao didn't understand when he was little, but after being warned a few times, he obediently stopped mentioning it.

He had thought Yanbao was no longer obsessed with this matter, but he hadn't expected...

Li Beijue's eyes sank abruptly, and the scene of that night six years ago suddenly surfaced in his mind...

Forget it!

A "Mommy" like Jiang Baobao... it was better not to have her!

Just as he was thinking this, he suddenly saw a woman in a long dress running quickly out of the police station, her figure looking somewhat anxious.

Li Beijue's eyes widened abruptly, and his heart skipped a beat.

That is... Jiang Baobao?!

It really is her!!!

Li Beijue narrowed his eyes, his hand uncontrollably resting on the car door handle...

Jiang Baobao had just been released from the police station, and she was looking down while hailing a taxi, her eyes full of anxiety.

Not knowing how her son was doing right now, she wished she could fly straight back to the hotel.

Just as she was deep in thought, she suddenly heard a loud "Bang!" from not far away!

Jiang Baobao was given a huge fright and jerked her head up, then stood frozen on the spot as if someone had cast a immobilization spell on her...

She saw a tall, handsome man get out of a car not far away and walk toward her.

His entire being exuded an aura of "keep away" and asceticism, making it impossible for anyone to ignore him!

Jiang Baobao gulped hard and, in disbelief, pinched her own arm fiercely!

Damn! It hurts!

What kind of rotten luck is this?

On the first day back in the country, she ran into the person she least wanted to see!

And right at the entrance of the police station!

The two of them locked eyes...

A bottomless storm instantly brewed in Li Beijue's ink-colored eyes, and a trace of a smile suddenly appeared on his previously expressionless, cold face.

Yet it was full of mockery.

"Jiang Baobao, you still dare to come back?"

He strode forward and grabbed Jiang Baobao's wrist, his gaze locking directly onto those watery eyes, his depths suppressing surging anger and an emotion that was hard to decipher.

It had been six years; she looked much more mature than before, and her temperament had changed significantly, but...

Li Beijue's lips were pressed into a thin line, his sharp eyes seemingly wanting to see right through the person before him.

Jiang Baobao's heart was in chaos for a moment, and she could only force herself to maintain her composure.

Why is he here?

What does he mean by that?

Didn't they divorce a long time ago?

Jiang Baobao couldn't help but frown, and as she suddenly met Li Beijue's emotionless eyes, the tip of her heart gave a sudden jolt, and she calmed down.

As expected, he was still looking at her with that kind of gaze...

Indifferent!

Extremely indifferent!

Jiang Baobao's thoughts drifted for a moment, and a cold sneer suddenly appeared at the corners of her lips.

If she had known that the two of them would have this moment today...

She would rather have never saved Li Beijue sixteen years ago!

Never have known Li Beijue!
