Male Lead's Canon Fodder Wife novel Chapter 1081

"Let me go! I’m not a criminal!" the old woman screamed while struggling against them.

"You have a knife and still claim innocence?!" a young man shot back angrily while locking the old woman’s arms on her back.

When the officers arrived, they searched the old woman’s belongings and found a packet of powdered sleeping pills hidden in her pocket. The crowd gasped when they saw the medicine.

"This boy doesn’t even look like he is from the village," a woman observed.

"His clothes are clean, and he is wearing leather shoes. He seems to be a child of rich people," another person added.

The stark contrast between the old woman and the child raised even more suspicion. The officer’s expression hardened as he said, "Please bring the boy and come with us."

Unwilling to get involved, the woman holding the child hesitated. But before she could hand him off to another person, a strong pair of arms took the boy. Looking up, she saw a handsome man cradling the sleeping child.

"Officer, please lead the way," he said firmly.

Lu Jueyu blinked in surprise when she saw the man and asked, "Husband? Why are you here?"

Li Chenmo glanced at her and replied, "You have been gone too long. I came to find you." _{freeweɓnovel.cѳm}

Sensing his displeasure, Lu Jueyu lowered her head and muttered, "Oh."

Seeing the displeasure on Li Chenmo’s face, the second aunt quickly stepped in to explain, "Chenmo, it’s not Jueyu’s fault. If she hadn’t stepped in, I would have been in serious trouble. Please don’t blame her."

Li Chenmo nodded at the second aunt and turned to his wife before he said, "Wife, go back to the cabin. We will talk later."

Hearing this, Lu Jueyu sighed and said, "Okay."

After recording the second aunt’s statement, the officers interrogated the old woman, uncovering her accomplices. Following the leads, they apprehended five men and two women hiding among the passengers.

When the second aunt and Li Chenmo returned to their cabins, the family was already waiting for them.

Before entering her cabin, the second aunt approached Lu Jueyu and said, "Thank you, Jueyu. If it weren’t for you, I might have been scammed."

"Second Aunt, we are family. It was the least I could do," Lu Jueyu replied with a smile.

The second aunt expressed her gratitude once more before leaving. After all, they were still in a public place, where walls had ears so she didn’t give her anything to thank her.

After the second aunt left, Lu Jueyu explained what happened just now. When she finished the explanation, she looked at her husband and said helplessly, "That’s what happened."
