Back Then, I Adored You-Chapter 974: Love Comes Softly (2)

With a calm expression on his face, Wu Hao raised his hands and pushed Jiang Qianqian away from his arms slightly. “Jiang Qianqian.”

When Jiang Qianqian heard Wu Hao call her name, she lifted her head and gazed at him with her teary eyes. “Ah Hao.” After she said this, tears poured down her cheeks uncontrollably.

Wu Hao lowered his head and gazed at Jiang Qianqian’s face for some time before he lifted his hands to wipe away her tears. His actions were gentle. For all the years that Jiang Qianqian had been with him, this was the one and only time that she had felt a sense of gentleness from him. She was instantly stunned. Although she was in the police station right now, her heart could not help but flutter from an indescribable sense of excitement and joy.

“Jiang Qianqian.” Wu Hao repeated her name once more while looking at her with the same expression. After some time, he finally said, “You planned for those three men to try and get Xu Wennuan over to your house?”

“Mm-hmm,” Jiang Qianqian acknowledged with a nasal tone as she nodded her head lightly.

“What did you intend to do with her once she was at your house?” Wu Hao asked.

Jiang Qianqian shook her head and replied in a soft voice, “I didn’t intend to do anything. I merely wanted to have a chat with her…”

As if Wu Hao didn’t hear her answer, he continued to pick up on his line of questioning. “You wanted to get her over to your house to use her to threaten me into marrying you. Am I right?”

Jiang Qianqian was dumbfounded that he was reciting her plan to her.

“You clearly called the kidnappers and instructed them to bring her to your house, but until now you hadn’t figured out what had gone wrong and why it’s now a case of abduction… Am I correct?”

Jiang Qianqian hesitated for some time before she eventually nodded her head lightly. “Yes. I really did not intend to kidnap her. I truly have no idea why it’s turned out like this. Nobody believes me. Ah Hao, the policemen don’t believe me either…”

“I believe you,” Wu Hao said suddenly.

A glow of hope appeared in Jiang Qianqian’s eyes, and she called out Wu Hao’s name in a tone that was brimming with emotions before she said, “Ah Hao, you’re not lying to me, are you? You really believe me, don’t you?”

“Yes, I do.” Wu Hao nodded his head without hesitation.

Once again, tears trickled down the corner of Jiang Qianqian’s eyes. “Ah Hao, you’ll help me, won’t you?”

Wu Hao shook his head and the corners of his lower lip curled up slightly as if he was mocking Jiang Qianqian for her foolishness. “Jiang Qianqian, do you think that I would actually help you? I wonder sometimes if a dog ate your brain. Even up to this point, you still don’t get it, do you?”

Jiang Qianqian was stunned once again. “Ah Hao…”

“Have you thought about why your plans changed and how I knew about them in the first place?”

Jiang Qianqian’s body began to tremble violently. She then looked into Wu Hao’s eyes incredulously. She stared at the warm, gentle face that she had been infatuated with since her days of youth up until now, and the expression in her eyes wavered for a very long time before she eventually staggered a step backward and muttered, “So, you mean that you used my phone to contact the kidnappers?”

As she said this, Jiang Qianqian recalled that she had bumped into Wu Hao at a drinking session some time ago. She had drunk a lot of alcohol by then, and it had not been difficult to pretend that she was drunk as she had laid in his arms. He had been the one who had eventually sent her home.
