When Song Cheng saw the people before him, he frowned, puzzled .
A sense of foreboding grew within him .
He gulped as he glanced at the two police officers standing behind Shen Liangchuan . Without a word, Shen Liangchuan took the marriage certificate from him and walked towards the villa with the police officers .
Shen Liangchuan hit the doorbell .
Very quickly, one of the housekeepers came, opened the door and ushered Shen Liangchuan and the police officers into the house .
Upon entering the living room, he saw Qiao Lian sitting on the sofa, still in her costume from the set . He was relieved to see her, but frowned deeply nevertheless .
Lu Nanze, too, was sitting on the sofa; he had a leg crossed over the other . He looked at them with a calm and unruffled expression .
That smile—both evil and charming at once—hung on his face effortlessly . “To what do I owe the honor of your visit, Mr . Shen? How may I help you?”
His eyes shifted to rest on the two police officers .
The two police officers immediately laughed and said, “How are you, Mr . Lu?”
Lu Nanze nodded at them before turning to Shen Liangchuan rather abruptly .
His stare was openly unwelcoming, but he didn’t give an order to kick him out . At the same time, however, Shen Liangchuan was not looking at him and instead had his attention focused on the woman next to him .
He didn’t have to look to know that Qiao Lian was also looking back at Shen Liangchuan .
Lu Nanze suddenly felt an extreme urge . He extended his arm in a quick motion, in an attempt to draw Qiao Lian into his embrace .
But, of course, they were no longer in the confined space of a car .
The moment he extended his arm, Qiao Lian jumped up at once .
At the same time, Shen Liangchuan reached out with his hand, grabbed Qiao Lian’s arm and pulled her into his embrace .
Only now when in contact Shen Liangchuan realized that, although Qiao Lian looked calm on the surface, her body was actually trembling . It told him how frightened she was!
Instantly, he glared sharply at Lu Nanze as he held Qiao Lian against himself .
As Lu Nanze looked at them, his devilishly charming eyes flashed dangerously, as though he had a bloodthirsty intent to kill . The smile spread wider across his face .
Shen Liangchuan finally said, “I’m here for my woman . ”
Lu Nanze chortled at his words and sneered, “Your woman, you said? That’s interesting . In all of Jiangnan, who doesn’t know that she, Qiao Lian, was mine the minute she entered this world?!”
Shen Liangchuan’s pupils shrank .
Lu Nanze continued, “So is there anything else I can help you with? If not, take your hand off my woman and leave my property!”
His tone was exceedingly aggressive as he specifically emphasized on the words “my woman” .
The police officers both took a step forward at this point and looked at Shen Liangchuan, saying, “Best Actor Shen, why not—”
Shen Liangchuan did not wait for them to finish . “Since this is the case, I’ll take my leave . ”
After these words, he turned around with his hand wrapped around Qiao Lian and started to walk towards the door .
Lu Nanze got up from his seat immediately . “Stop right there!”
Although Shen Liangchuan simply ignored this order, both police officers, fiercely glared at by Lu Nanze, hurried over to the door to stop the couple . “Best Actor Shen—”
Shen Liangchuan halted and said, “What other pieces of wisdom do you wish to share with us, Mr . Lu?”
Lu Nanze stared at him for a moment before he suddenly laughed . “Mr . Shen here claims that Qiao Lian is his woman, yet I insist that she’s mine . Why don’t we ask her whose woman she is?”
As these words were spoken, every pair of eyes simultaneously fell on Qiao Lian .
Feeling everyone’s gaze burning on her now, she was able to gather her courage and lift her head slowly .
