Chapter 126 It Was A Mistake

Few people in Ninwell City would choose to offend the Fu family.

Otherwise, they would be courting death.

The moment they found out Jack's identity, the policemen's attitude towards him changed drastically.

When they arrived at the police station, the policeman who looked rather impatient earlier led Jack and Rachel to a meeting room politely.

Executive Fang who looked a little uneasy followed them inside.

The five-year old Mendes, on the other hand, looked very calm. He just looked around while seated between Rachel and Jack.

When a beautiful policewoman served them tea, Rachel and the adorable boy thanked her politely.

The female officer smiled back.

Seeing that everyone seemed not panicky at all, Executive Fang somehow calmed down.

He raised his head and gave the two people in front of him an inquisitive look.

However, Rachel and Jack didn't look so friendly at all. Her indifferent look complemented his cold demeanor.

Executive Fang paid more attention to the woman sitting next to Jack.

Although she looked delicate, she didn't seem inferior to him at all. Until now, he didn't have any idea that Rachel was Jack's wife.

All he knew was Rachel had a good relationship with the chairman, and she was a classmate of Lucas.

At the back of his mind, Executive Fang thought that she might be the future Mrs. Zhou.

However, he didn't expect that Rachel also came from a well-off family.

No wonder James, the chairman, asked him to take good care of her.

Executive Fang stared at her for a long time. He wanted to say something but he seemed to have swallowed his tongue. Eventually, he decided to remain quiet.

After all, it was his nephew who made this trouble. They were all here because of Kevin.

This made Executive Fang feel guilty.

It was a medical malpractice and the patient was unfortunate enough not to survive.

What happened wasn't just an accident. It was the result of Kevin's decision during the surgery. And the result was an irreparable ending.

All the while, Executive Fang believed that it was an accident based on what Kevin had told him. Of course, he would do everything to save his nephew. But he didn't expect that Kevin had hidden some things from him.

Actually, he had never thought that Kevin would be arrested by the police. Besides, the dead body was already cremated. There were also no witnesses to testify on the real cause of death. But apparently, the other party influenced the police for Kevin to be punished.

But Sheila apparently didn't know who the owner of the hospital was.

The Zhou family alone was hard to deal with. Besides, Rachel was involved, and her husband was Jack.

After contemplating a lot, Executive Fang finally calmed down.

Jack had already heard what happened from Rachel while they were in the car earlier. After not seeing her for a few days, he didn't expect that something bad would happen to her.

It was a serious medical dispute.

Looking at the situation, Jack made a call after he got out of the car. He then knew that no one had reported the case yet.

However, the policemen suddenly came to the hospital. Apparently, someone wanted Kevin and Rachel to shoulder the punishment.

So when the policemen took Rachel, he insisted on going with them. He had the intuition that if she would go alone, the policemen would take her to somewhere else and not in the police station.

He swore to himself that he would find out who the hell dared to do this to his family.

Executive Fang was about to say something to Jack, but the door suddenly opened before he could even open his mouth.

A chubby man who looked tensed came in. He was smiling politely while approaching Jack. "Mr. Fu, I am so sorry. It was all just a mistake," he said.

With a sanctimonious smile on his face, Jack shook hands with him without saying anything.

That chubby man was Chief Ren. When he heard what happened, he was so worried that he immediately rushed to the police station. On his way there, he called his son and scolded him severely.

"Why do you have to mess with the Fu family? Don't you realize what kind of person Jack is?" he said to his son earlier.

If he couldn't fix this issue, his reputation would definitely be ruined.

When he noticed that Jack remained silent, Chief Ren felt embarrassed for a moment. He was clever enough to understand the smile on his face.

He moved his eyes to Rachel and apologized to her immediately. After all, she was the main victim in this situation.

"Mrs. Fu, I am terribly sorry. Everything was just a misunderstanding. Anyway, it's getting late. How about I take you out to dinner to express my apology."

Rachel smiled faintly and refused, "It's not necessary."

She then looked at Jack subconsciously to ask for his opinion.

"Thank you for your kindness, Chief Ren," said Jack. "The policemen came to the hospital openly and took my wife because she was suspected of murder. I want to know what crime did my wife exactly committed. You can tell me."

Jack was sitting leisurely in his chair with arms crossed on his chest.

Chief Ren looked at Rachel again. He pursed his lips embarrassingly without saying a word.

There were other people inside the room aside from Rachel and Jack so he felt really awkward. He was the chief of police, but he was like a subordinate being scolded by his boss. And all he could do was smile apologetically.

Executive Fang marveled at how influential the Fu family could be that even the chief of police was so humble in front of Jack. He didn't even dare to speak to Jack stiffly.

What Executive Fang didn't know was that Chief Ren felt so guilty because it was all his son's fault.

He would rather keep a low profile and ask for Rachel and Jack's forgiveness than getting himself into trouble because of what happened.

Jack's attitude was rather gentle but Chief Ren still felt under so much pressure. He broke out in a cold sweat and stammered, "It...was just a mistake."

It was the only thing he could say because he was so anxious. He had never encountered such a difficult situation for quite a long time so his mind was in a mess.

"I know that you are very busy, Chief Ren. Maybe that's why you don't really pay attention to small cases like this," Jack said casually.

"But I also know that the police will only arrest a person if someone reports a crime. I want to know who that person is. What evidence do you have to arrest my wife?"

Unfortunately, Chief Ren didn't know how to answer Jack's questions.

It was his son who called the police and told the false information.

Chief Ren swallowed his saliva and apologized again, "I'm sorry. I'm so sorry. I promise to investigate on this matter. I will get back to you as soon as possible." This belongs to NôvelDrama.Org.

Jack stood up and shook hands with Chief Ren again. "If that's the case, then we better get going. We are sorry to have bothered you."

Chief Ren was so embarrassed that he didn't know what to do. Eventually, he decided to accompany them out of the station. He was only able to heave a sigh of relief when their car left.

His eyes narrowed and his heart filled with fury. After standing there for quite a while, he turned to go back inside the station. He must assign someone to investigate what really happened.

He turned around in a hurry so he bumped into the person behind him.

They were both startled and stepped back. Executive Fang was the first one to recover so he cleared his throat and smiled gently. He then said, "Hello, Chief Ren. May I ask where my nephew is? He was brought here this afternoon by the police because they said he was involved in a murder."

Embarrassment flashed through Chief Ren's face but he answered stiffly, "I'm sorry. Please go back inside. I will check on your nephew."

Not long after Jack and Rachel went out of the station, she received a call from Lucas. If he hadn't call her, she would have totally forgotten that he was coming back tonight.

Jack and Rachel arrived at a place that she and Lucas had agreed upon. Jack stayed in the car, while she got out with Mendes.

She was handing over Mendes back to Lucas, who had no idea what happened in the hospital.

Looking exhausted, Lucas took Mendes' stuff from Rachel. He then gently rubbed the boy's head and said with a smile, "Your father is coming tomorrow."

Mendes looked puzzled for a moment. But when he finally understood what Lucas meant, he blinked his eyes and looked at him in a daze.

All of a sudden, he jumped up and down with joy. Rachel, who was watching him, also felt very happy.

Luckily, his father had finally come back so he wouldn't have to stay in others' places anymore.

When Rachel got back to Jack's car, she was still wearing the smile on her face. Her eyes were also bright.

Jack had already lowered down the car window to let the cigarette smoke went out. He also sprayed a car freshener for the smell to disappear.

Rachel's nose was sensitive to smell, so she smelled something as soon as she got in.

"Why did you spray something in the car?" she asked.

"Does it smell bad?" he asked casually.
