Having explained everything, the police turned and left.
Was this a disguised form of house arrest?
No! This couldn't be!
Bai Gelin had not anticipated things turning out this way; his family still had no clue where he was. If only he could get in touch with Bai Qiuqing, then there might be a glimmer of hope!
No telling how long he had been pounding on the door and shouting, Bai Gelin finally despaired and tore at his own short hair in irritation.
Only now did he realize how foolish his actions had been!
Far from dealing with Qiao Xiaren, he had exposed himself instead. Qiao Xiaren's look when she had last seen him had clearly hinted that she was onto him. Now it's all over, Bai Gelin thought in despair.
Once Bai Gelin entered the police station, the Bai Family was dutifully notified. The old Master Bai didn't take it seriously and instructed the Butler to bring tens of thousands in ransom to bail him out.
