Chapter 138: Why does this not feel real?
When Ji Feifei was charged with illegal possession of weapons and jailbreak out of nowhere, she was in disbelief. Both of those were Xia Luna’s crimes! How did it end up being on her head instead? How could Xia Luna trick her?
She didn’t know it, but as soon as Xia Luna entered the other room, right before the police arrived, she slipped out of the house through an exit only she knew existed.
In the past, when Xia Luna was living in the building, she had created a secret passage for emergency purposes. The passage was hidden deep inside, so even if police searched every nook and cranny of the house, it was practically impossible for them to find the secret passage. It directly led to the exit on the opposite side; thus, she was able to escape stealthily.
...
On the other side, Li Lanni was relieved when the police informed them that Ji Feifei had been caught again.
As soon as Ji Xiehan informed her of what had happened, she had called him back so they could sit together and analyze what was happening.
This matter was suspicious, to begin with. How could Ji Feifei attempt jailbreak without any outside help? So, both of them firmly believed that someone must have helped Ji Feifei out. But, when the police reported that there was only Ji Feifei in that abandoned house, they were puzzled.
It was even more surprising that the particular house had no records of someone living in it. But here and there, the police found the traces of someone living in the house. Thus, they believed that it was a hiding place for some fugitive.
Xia Luna was fond of erasing all traces of her wherever she went. It proved to be helpful because, according to the police investigation, Ji Feifei was the only one who had ever been seen entering that house. So police concluded that the house was Ji Feifei’s secret hideout.
But Li Lanni couldn’t believe any of that. "Why does this feel so far from being real to me?"
"What are you implying?" Ji Xiehan asked.
