Stealing Your Heart

During the journey from the police station to the prison, Nan Cheng asked, “Chief Wu, are you really in the dark about this?”

He was incredulous. Why did she go missing all of a sudden?

She had been relying on Jiang Mohan all along, so no one else could’ve helped her except for him and me.

Is it really that easy to escape from a prison?

He started to suspect that Chief Wu was the one who allowed her to escape.

Meanwhile, Chief Wu remained silent because he didn’t need to give an explanation anyway.

After all, a missing inmate was totally unexpected for him as well. He was even more anxious than Nan Cheng to find out what happened.

A while later, they arrived at their destination. Chief Wu put on a facade as he asked the warden to bring out one of the inmates because he wanted to question her.

When the warden heard her name, he said, “This inmate is sick, so she’s receiving treatment in the hospital.” Nan Cheng immediately asked Chief Wu, “Don’t tell me you don’t know about this?”

“I don’t!” Affairs like this needed Chief Wu’s permission, but he never saw the relevant documentation!

Besides that, what sickness does she have to warrant a visit to a hospital outside of the prison?

He avoided Nan Cheng’s gaze as he commanded the warden coldly, “Bring me there now.”

“Alright.” The warden sensed that something was amiss.

The three of them left together as the warden asked during their journey to the hospital, “Chief Wu, don’t you know what happened?”

Chief Wu squinted, “What do you mean?”

“We kept a close eye on her as per your instructions, but the reason why she managed to leave the prison was because Wang gave her permission. We thought that he was there on your behalf.”

Some time ago, Wang tried to bail out one of his relatives who committed a crime, but Chief Wu denied his request because the
