[2] The Warm Breeze is not as Warm as You

Chapter 265

Jennie narrowed her eyes at him: "Lisa, whether I wish to stay or not, it's my own freedom! I haven't had any access to money, my phone, or my freedom here. Besides eating, all I do is sleep. Even a pig gets to see the world outside once in a while. Why do I have to be restricted to this extent to nurse my wounds?"

"You don't have any money? You don't have your phone?" The man appeared to be smiling imperceptibly: "Do you need me to take away the things under your pillow?"

Jennie: "..."

What?!

How did he find out?

The man shot her another glance: "Do you really plan on convicting me with the crime of raising you like a pig deprived of freedom? You used such a clumsy method of hiding your phone under your bed, did you really think I wouldn't know?"

Jennie: "..."

She only thought that an upright and proper man like Lisa wouldn't search under her pillows. And so, she had set her heart at ease and kept her phone there the whole time.

Who would have thought that he actually knew?!

But in her impression, he couldn't have had an opportunity to touch her bed in the past few days, much less search under her pillow.

Jennie considered it and vaguely traced the reason back to the surveillance cameras along the hallways. There were surveillance cameras along the hallways and in front of every room in Ao Lan International, but she had failed to consider this.

"I've been letting you eat well and sleep well here. Aside from preventing you from heading out to experience the cold weather, where else have I been restricting you?" The man's tone remained as mild as ever.

Jennie did not argue any further. She understood the condition of her head wound as well. Although it wasn't a serious wound, and it was likely she received a tetanus shot when she was unconscious, but to prevent infection, keeping her from heading out was indeed for her own good.

She quickly ended the topic on her phone and pointed at the door: "Let them in first?"

Lisa glanced at her again.

Jennie did not meet his gaze. Based on his attitude toward Bang Chan, she understood that if she let Bang Chan bring her away today, he wouldn't have any good consequences to face. Yesterday, she had already caused Seunghoon to suffer by being locked outside. It was better to keep her words and actions milder today, in case she harms someone else.

Without needing her to speak up, based on the man's understanding of her, he immediately recognized her choice to remain silent after weighing the pros and cons. He then finally moved away from the door.

Jennie rushed to open the door to see that Bang Chan and the other policeman were still standing outside. The moment the door opened, their gaze moved unanimously toward Jennie.

"Come in." Jennie widened the door.

The two took a look inside before finally stepping in.

As Bang Chan stepped in, he noticed that Jennie's complexion was much better and recalled her appearance when Lisa carried her out of the ocean that day. At the time, she was drenched in seawater and covered in blood streaks. Her skin had also been unbelievably pale. He couldn't help but say apologetically: "Sister Jennie, I'm really sorry. When your car was hijacked, I was busy chasing the kidnappers with the police force and didn't expect that you would be caught in the danger. I really failed to protect you."

Jennie raised her brows and smiled carelessly. "Seeing that you were trying to protect the innocent citizens, I won't be petty with you. Aren't we supposed to be giving our statements? Let's start."
