After Marrying the Officer Chapter 1211 - 1210: The Mysterious Letter
Previously on After Marrying the Officer...
As Uncle Xia departed with unwavering determination, Mother Xia's eyes rolled back, and she crumpled to the floor.
Yet on this occasion, Uncle Xia showed no mercy whatsoever.
He along with Chuyi had pardoned Mother Xia one too many times.
Before, Uncle Xia could excuse her lack of awareness.
However now, Uncle Xia recognized his grave error, an utterly foolish blunder.
Spoiling ignorance plunges straight into ruin.
Exiting the Police Station, Chang Luhui inquired whether Uncle Xia desired to meet Xia Lianlian.
After brief reflection, Uncle Xia shook his head and told Chang Luhui, "No need, I don't wish to see Xia Lianlian again. I suspect she feels the same towards me..."
Towards Mother Xia, Uncle Xia harbored deep frustration over her incompetence.
Towards Xia Lianlian, intense hatred consumed him.
Had he not journeyed to the Capital City seeking Xia Lianlian originally, she wouldn't have come to Ling County, and the poisoning tragedy would never have unfolded!
Every recollection of it filled Uncle Xia with profound remorse.
Thank heavens Chuyi emerged unscathed. Should harm have struck Chuyi, Uncle Xia could never forgive himself eternally!
"Director Chang, a detail just struck me." Uncle Xia blurted out suddenly, "I discovered Xia Lianlian through a letter delivered to me."
"It revealed that my sister's daughter was Xia Lianlian." Uncle Xia affirmed solemnly, "The letter outlined those past occurrences in vivid detail."
"That prompted our search for Xia Lianlian back then."
"Is that right?" Chang Luhui showed clear astonishment and probed Uncle Xia, "Who penned the letter?"
Uncle Xia shook his head, replying, "I have no clue; it came anonymously."
"Initially, I brushed it off, figuring it was from an insider aiming to alert us."
"Yet following the poisoning, doubts crept in: might the letter's author be another peril shadowing Chuyi?"
Chang Luhui contemplated this briefly before responding, "Not certain, but yes, it's a valid concern."
Uninvolved outsiders couldn't know those bygone events or bother sending word to Uncle Xia.
"Boss Zhao." Chang Luhui requested, "Can I take a look at the letter?"
Uncle Xia nodded affirmatively, "Sure, it's kept at my home."
With those words, Uncle Xia guided Chang Luhui back to his residence.
But once there, Uncle Xia scoured everywhere yet failed to locate the letter.
"How peculiar, I distinctly placed it in the box..." Uncle Xia muttered as he continued searching,
Chang Luhui reacted swiftly, asking, "What's the issue? Did the letter disappear?"
Uncle Xia nodded, then shook his head, murmuring, "I clearly recall stashing it here..."
"I'll inquire with Xiao Gui's mom." Uncle Xia announced.
In no time, Aunt Xia arrived to assist in the hunt, but the letter stayed missing.
Now, this seemingly trivial dubious note that Chang Luhui planned merely to skim loomed as a critical concern in his mind.
"I must inform the Capital City superiors about this." Chang Luhui stated gravely.
The vanishing of that anonymous letter signaled to Chang Luhui's instincts that deeper machinations were at play.
Quickly, Huo Shiqian in the Capital City learned of the development.
"Such an event transpired." Upon getting the report, Huo Shiqian creased his brow faintly and replied, "I understand."
