Chapter 54: Fate

◎No one can reach me!◎

Zhou Qiaoxiu hurriedly dragged Xu Songling away and scolded him, "We women are talking, why are you, a grown man, joining in the fun? Go, wash the dishes."

Xu Songling shook the water off his hands: "I'm done."

Zhou Qiaoxiu was both angry and amused. This guy was just a fool. She didn't ask him to wash the dishes at all. She just made up an excuse to get rid of him: "You, you, take the baby downstairs to play. Let me talk to Xiang Wan alone."

This time Xu Songling finally came to his senses and angrily carried the child downstairs. Before leaving, he was still worried and ran over to add: "I clearly oppose it!"

Zhao Xiangwan looked at Xu Songling's gloomy face and said, "Master, I know what you mean." Xu Songling was the master who introduced her to the industry, and his concern for her was unquestionable, but he did not really understand Zhao Xiangwan, nor did he understand Ji Zhao.

Xu Songling met Zhao Xiangwan's calm eyes, and for some reason he felt a little frustrated. He sighed and said, "You, you always have the right ideas. Tell your teacher what you think." After that, he carried the baby out of the door.

Xu Zhenbao waved to Zhao Xiangwan reluctantly: "Sister, come and play with me~"

After the door was closed, only Zhou Qiaoxiu and Zhao Xiangwan were left in the room. Zhou Qiaoxiu poured a cup of cold tea and placed it in Zhao Xiangwan's hand, her expression full of worry.

"I like Ji Zhao. He is handsome, good at drawing, and intelligent. If he doesn't talk, he is really lovable. But... people say that love is something that is talked out. Ji Zhao has been autistic since he was a child and can't even speak. How can you fall in love with him?"

Zhao Xiangwan smiled slightly: "I can communicate with him, don't worry."

Zhou Qiaoxiu suddenly thought of the past when a group of people from the Serious Crime Unit rescued Ji Zhao at the Four Seasons Hotel. Although she did not see it at the scene, she heard Xu Songling say afterwards that no one could calm Ji Zhao down, but Zhao Xiangwan could. Later, the reason why Ji Jinmao sent his son to the Municipal Bureau as a criminal portrait painter was not only because of the safety of his Municipal Bureau, but also because Zhao Xiangwan could communicate with Ji Zhao.

When I think about it this way, it seems like my opposition is unreasonable?

Zhou Qiaoxiu thought about it and asked the second question carefully.

"Although you can communicate, he can't protect you. Women are gentle like water, and men are stable like mountains. If two people build a family together, the man should protect the woman and support the family. Ji Zhao is like a child and still needs your care. How can I protect you?"

Zhao Xiangwan narrowed his eyes slightly.

Men protect women? She has handled so many cases. When women expect men to protect them from the storm, it is men who may bring them the storm in the end. Miao Hui is such a strong woman. If she hadn't been dragged down by remarriage, she would have achieved success in her career. Why would she waste her heart and blood for Wu Jianshe, a scumbag?

Did Zhang Shihu protect Yuan Dongmei?

Did Wang Qiankun protect Cao Caiyan?

Did Xu Juncai protect Mei Xinhui?

If you lean on a mountain, the mountain will fall; if you lean on water, the water will flow. If a woman puts her fate in the hands of a man, hoping that he will protect her and give her a happy life, the final result... will most likely be disappointed.

If Zhao Xiangwan had not met Ji Zhao, he would never have fallen in love or gotten married despite his ability to read minds.

Thinking of this, Zhao Xiangwan said calmly: "I don't need a man's protection."

Zhou Qiaoxiu wanted to persuade him, but when she met her clear eyes, she thought of how she could calmly face a murderer like Wang Qiankun at the age of 18 and lead him to tell the truth step by step. For some reason, Xu Songling's frustrated expression flashed before her eyes. Uh... maybe she and Old Xu were overthinking. Zhao Xiangwan was strong-willed and had clear goals. She didn't need others to worry about her.

However, she couldn't bear to see Zhao Xiangwan suffer, so Zhou Qiaoxiu couldn't help nagging: "Xiangwan, I know you are a very good child, and a very opinionated child. I'm just afraid that you've seen too many cases of unhappy families and become bad-tempered. In fact, there are still many good men in this world, like your master, Liu Liangju, and Zhu Feipeng, they are all very good people. They are responsible for their families, love their jobs, and respect women..."

Zhao Xiangwan sighed and interrupted Zhou Qiaoxiu: "Teacher, I know you are doing this for my own good. I was abandoned by my parents when I was young, and my adoptive parents were not good to me. You and Master are like my parents, caring for me, loving me, and doing things for me sincerely. It's just that I want to make my own decision on what kind of partner to find and what kind of person to fall in love with. Please trust me, okay?"

Zhou Qiaoxiu didn't say anything, but her tightly pursed lips and dim eyes told Zhao Xiangwan that she didn't agree with what he said in her heart.

[Alas, young people don't know anything. Men are afraid of choosing the wrong career, and women are afraid of marrying the wrong man. It is so important for girls to fall in love. They must let adults have their say and check. Xiang Wan looks strong and calm, but she is just a teenage girl after all. Her parents are unreliable. I am her teacher and her teacher's wife. No matter how annoying I am, I have to say these words.]

Facing the elders' concerns, Zhao Xiangwan could only speak patiently: "Teacher, if you think Ji Zhao is not good, then tell me. The point you and the master are concerned about is that Ji Zhao has autism and cannot speak, so we can't communicate, but this problem is not a problem for me. We have a unique way of communication. You don't know what he is thinking, but I know.

Secondly, he can't protect me. I also said that I am a student of the Public Security University. After graduation, I will become a criminal policeman like my master, punishing evil and promoting good. I don't need anyone to protect me. What else do you and my master have to worry about? I will explain it to you slowly. "

Zhou Qiaoxiu finally experienced Zhao Xiangwan's calm thinking in person, and for a moment she didn't know how to respond. Yes, Zhao Xiangwan can communicate with Ji Zhao, she doesn't need anyone's protection, so what can stop them from falling in love? Now the country is advocating freedom of marriage and freedom of love, so how should she persuade Xiangwan?

After thinking for a long time, Zhou Qiaoxiu finally found her voice: "You are still young, you don't know the trivialities of daily life after marriage. Ji Zhao's living ability is poor, which will distract you too much. How will you be busy with your career in the future? You are a smart child, and you have shown superb ability in criminal investigation. Your master has high hopes for you."

Zhao Xiangwan smiled slightly: "Teacher, you don't have to worry about this. Although Ji Zhao's living ability is poor, his family is rich. I don't have to worry about those household chores at all. President Ji will naturally take care of everything. If I find an ordinary person, I will probably have to spend a lot of time and effort to buy groceries, cook, and take care of children after I get married. But Ji Zhao's family conditions are excellent, so I don't have to do these things myself. I can be busy with my career without any burden."

Zhou Qiaoxiu's eyes lit up. Yes, I almost forgot about this. Although Ji Zhao has shortcomings, Ji Jinmao can make up for them.

Seeing that she was interested, Zhao Xiangwan continued, "I am a little worried whether Mr. Ji's family would agree to my relationship with Ji Zhao. After all... my family conditions are not good, and my parents are not reliable."

Zhou Qiaoxiu was misled by her, frowned and snorted coldly: "Ji Jinmao should burn incense to thank his ancestors, gods and Bodhisattvas for your love for Ji Zhao. How could he not know how capable his son is? And he dares not agree with your relationship with Ji Zhao, tsk!"

Zhao Xiangwan stood up with a smile: "So, I think Ji Zhao and I are fine. Don't worry, and don't let Master bully Ji Zhao. He has a simple mind, just like a child. If I see him being wronged, I will feel sad."

Zhou Qiaoxiu could only smile helplessly: "Okay, okay, I get it. You always have a plan in mind, and I'm just worrying for nothing. Don't blame me for being nagging, girls have to learn to protect themselves, understand?"

Zhao Xiangwan nodded: "Yeah, I understand."

She has the ability to read minds at the age of ten, so what doesn't she understand?

Zhao Xiangwan was tall and slender, half a head taller than Zhou Qiaoxiu. She had a calm gaze, a composed posture, and her eyebrows had grown a little wider. Her graceful and elegant figure reminded Zhou Qiaoxiu of the night when she helped her find her baby.

Feeling reluctant to leave, Zhou Qiaoxiu reached out and hugged Zhao Xiangwan's shoulders, choking with sobs and saying, "Xiangwan, you must take good care of yourself."

The warm breath surrounded Zhao Xiangwan. At this moment, Zhao Xiangwan felt the deep love and care. He was moved and did not think Zhou Qiaoxiu was nagging. He said softly, "Okay, I know."

Zhou Qiaoxiu didn't dare to act too intimately. She let go of Zhao Xiangwan's hand, looked at him, and gave him detailed instructions.

"Ji Zhao's family has money, but there will be more troubles. Don't be nice to Ji Jinmao and don't meddle in their family affairs. I remember Ji Zhao had a cousin who was not a good person. Ji Jinmao didn't drive him out of the Ji family at that time because of the relationship between the two families. He also assigned him a position as an administrative manager. You have to be careful of him. Sometimes, money is a good thing, but sometimes, too much money is not a good thing. We are all career women. We earn our own money and spend it ourselves. We are confident. The Ji family has a lot of money, but we don't care, right?"

Zhao Xiangwan nodded seriously this time: "Okay, I remember it."

Good things don't work, but bad things do. This person can't stand being criticized.

Xu Songling sent Zhao Xiangwan back to the Public Security Bureau, and the two of them unexpectedly saw Luo Yihui at the door.

Although they had only met once, Zhao Xiangwan was deeply impressed and recognized him at first sight.

Luo Yihui was wearing a light blue shirt and dark blue trousers, and holding a gift fruit basket in his hand. He was tall and slender, and looked like a decent human being.

Next to him stood a slim and pretty woman, holding a canvas bag in her right hand, looking a little dusty.

The woman had her back to Zhao Xiangwan, and her back gave Zhao Xiangwan an inexplicable sense of familiarity.

As she approached, the woman turned around and saw Zhao Xiangwan. Her eyes sparkled brightly. She waved her hands at her and called out happily, "Zhao, Xiang, Wan——"

Zhao Xiangwan was stunned for a moment, and a thin voice popped up in his mind. He hesitated and said, "Jiang, Ting, Lan?"

The woman in front of him had long, curved eyebrows, narrow eyes, and an oval face, which gave her a classic beauty. Although she was much prettier than the skinny girl he had seen on the train and in the hospital, a closer look at her facial features and body showed that she was indeed the abducted college student, Jiang Tinglan.

Jiang Tinglan was rescued after her suicide attempt. After listening to Zhao Xiangwan's words, she no longer sought death, but quietly recovered. After being discharged from the hospital, she wrote a letter back to school and got in touch with her former class teacher. After the Chinese New Year, she went to the police station to get a certificate and reissued her ID. When school started, she bought a train ticket to Kyoto with the 100 yuan Zhao Xiangwan left for her.

When the teachers at Kyoto University of Economics and Trade learned about Jiang Tinglan's experience, they expressed deep sympathy. As Zhao Xiangwan had said, they helped her resume her student status and allowed her to repeat a grade in order to keep up with her studies, and she began studying in the 90th grade accounting major.

Jiang Tinglan, who had experienced death once, was determined to say goodbye to the past, applied for scholarships, worked part-time, and no longer depended on her parents. She returned to the university campus, sat in a bright classroom, listened to the teacher's lecture, and was extremely grateful for Zhao Xiangwan's encouragement and support. She immediately wrote a letter to the 1991 Criminal Investigation Major of Hunan Public Security University, and began to exchange letters with Zhao Xiangwan.

During the summer vacation, Jiang Tinglan wanted to meet Zhao Xiangwan, first to express her gratitude in person, and second to find an internship in Xing City to earn some money for further studies. She wrote a letter to Zhao Xiangwan before coming, but Zhao Xiangwan did not receive it, probably because no one in the mail room was there to pick up the mail during the summer vacation, so he missed it.

Jiang Tinglan went to the Public Security University first and found that the school was on summer vacation and all the students had left. She remembered that Zhao Xiangwan had said that he would come to the Municipal Bureau for internship during the summer vacation, so she rushed to the Municipal Public Security Bureau. After asking around, she found out that Zhao Xiangwan was not there. When she was getting anxious, she turned around and saw Zhao Xiangwan getting off Xu Songling's police motorcycle. She immediately smiled and ran over.

Luo Yihui saw Xu Songling and Zhao Xiangwan and followed them over, greeting them politely: "Hello, Captain Xu. Hello, Zhao Xiangwan."

Xu Songling and Zhao Xiangwan exchanged glances.

Xu Songling sat in the car and didn't get out. He just nodded: "Yeah, okay."

Zhao Xiangwan did not respond to Luo Yihui's greeting. He got off the car, stood still, and looked at Jiang Tinglan: "Why are you here?"

Strictly speaking, Zhao Xiangwan and Jiang Tinglan were not very familiar with each other. However, because it was Zhao Xiangwan who helped Jiang Tinglan when she was most helpless, Jiang Tinglan had a kind of bird-and-bird complex towards her, reporting everything to her in her letters, and they became familiar with each other. When summer vacation came, Jiang Tinglan did not go home, and immediately went to Xing City to seek refuge with Zhao Xiangwan.

The two girls started chatting. The unfamiliarity of only communicating through letters gradually disappeared as they spoke face to face. Jiang Tinglan smiled with her eyebrows curved, and chattered to Zhao Xiangwan about her plans.

After understanding Jiang Tinglan's intention, Zhao Xiangwan turned his gaze to Luo Yihui: "Do you know him?"

Jiang Tinglan then remembered that there was another person, and hurriedly explained: "I just recognized him too. He said his cousin also works in the Municipal Bureau and wanted to go in and take a look."

Zhao Xiangwan's eyes turned colder and he raised his eyes to look at Luo Yihui.

The two looked at each other, and the air suddenly became silent.

Luo Yihui's features are somewhat similar to Ji Zhao's, with a more masculine aura, but lacking a sense of refinement and nobility, as if he were a crude imitation.

There seemed to be a dark curtain hanging in Luo Yihui's heart, and Zhao Xiangwan couldn't hear a single word from his heart, which made him a little uncomfortable. In the dim light of the street lamp, he raised his eyes and carefully observed Luo Yihui's expression.

Luo Yihui's smile looked bright in the sun, but his eyes were not clear, as if he was hiding a lot of thoughts. A person with a deep mind, an ambitious person, a person who was hostile to Ji Zhao, that was Zhao Xiangwan's enemy.

"What are you doing here?" Zhao Xiangwan's voice was calm.

Luo Yihui smiled: "I want to come and see Ji Zhao. My cousin has been working at the Municipal Bureau for a while, and I haven't had the chance to see him. I grew up with him, and this is the first time I haven't seen him for such a long time. I miss him a lot."

When people smile genuinely, they usually show it through their mouth and eyes at the same time: the mouth corners curl up and the eyes narrow. If the smile comes from the heart, in addition to the reflexive curling of the mouth corners, the orbicularis oculi muscle will also contract, making the eyes smaller, wrinkles appear at the corners of the eyes, and the eyebrows slightly tilted.

When you fake a smile, your brain consciously contracts your facial muscles, opens your mouth, and raises the corners of your mouth, but the orbicularis oculi muscle is not involved.

People always smile a lot when they are lying, because they always try to ease their tension and cover up their guilt by smiling.

As for Luo Yihui, although he had a bright smile at this moment, the muscles around his eyes did not move, and the smile did not reach his eyes.

Zhao Xiangwan deliberately provoked him: "I remember you. When Ji Zhao climbed up the billboard, he almost fell down and died because of what you said. Why didn't President Ji hold you accountable?"

This was the first time Luo Yihui met someone who was immune to his smile. His eyebrows twitched and a crack finally appeared in his heart.

[…What kind of…unfriendly…it’s just the second time we meet, right?]

Although only a little bit of his true feelings were revealed, Zhao Xiangwan quickly captured the key information.

First, Luo Yihui knew his name, but he was not clear about his relationship with the Ji family. It seemed that after Ji Zhao almost got into trouble at the Four Seasons Hotel, Luo Yihui had lost Ji Jinmao's trust and had less contact with the Ji family. He only knew that Ji Zhao came to work at the Municipal Bureau, but he didn't know that he had a close relationship with him.

Second, Luo Yihui sensed his hostility, but he didn't know why. This shows that he was sensitive and had accurate judgment, but he didn't take himself seriously.

Third, Luo Yihui is a deep-minded person who does not easily reveal his true thoughts. You can use appropriate language to stimulate him and cause him to fluctuate emotionally.

Luo Yihui's smile faded a little, his eyes narrowed slightly, and he did not respond directly to Zhao Xiangwan's words: "Captain Xu, Zhao Xiangwan, Ji Zhao is grateful for your care. As your cousin, I have to say thank you. I wonder if you can let me in to see him?"

Zhao Xiangwan's lips curled up unconsciously. The security work of the Public Security Bureau is indeed first-class. The dormitory management is strict and outsiders cannot enter and leave at will. It's great.

Xu Songling waved his hand and said, "Luo Yihui, it's too late. Come back another day." Then he started the motorcycle and told Zhao Xiangwan, "Go back quickly. Don't talk to anybody. Safety comes first."

Zhao Xiangwan smiled and waved goodbye to him. Without speaking to Luo Yihui again, he turned to Jiang Tinglan and said, "Come on, I'll take you to the dormitory. Let's squeeze in tonight."

Luo Yihui's expression did not change. Under the streetlight, the veins on his hand holding the fruit basket were exposed, revealing his inner anger. He always claimed to be the emperor's son, but he was ignored by these people. This twisted his heart and tore a crack.

[What's so good about that idiot Ji Zhao? Everyone protects him so well. He just has a good family background. How is he better than me? One day, one day...]

Zhao Xiangwan heard it clearly and sneered inwardly. After Luo Yihui's parents divorced, his aunt Luo Danfeng took him in and raised him, sending him to study abroad. She spent so much energy and money, but raised a white-eyed wolf. What will happen one day? Will he dare to kill someone? !

Zhao Xiangwan brought Jiang Tinglan into the Municipal Bureau.

After passing through the Public Security Bureau's office area, the guard at the post responsibly checked Jiang Tinglan's ID and registered her on the visitor list before allowing her to enter the dormitory area.

Jiang Tinglan whispered, "Xiang Wan, the place where you live is very strictly controlled. For example, in our school, the student dormitory is inside the school, and there is no one guarding the door. You can come and go as you please."

Zhao Xiangwan explained: "Because it is the Public Security Bureau, the police officers have been dealing with criminals for a long time, and their personal safety is easily threatened, so the management is strict, which is also a kind of protection for the case officers."

There were rows of cycads planted under the wall, and the trees were full of flowers. The night breeze brought the fragrance of the flowers. Jiang Tinglan's eyes lit up, and she walked under the two-person-high tree, raised her head, stretched out her arms, and shouted happily: "The flowers are so beautiful!"

All the gloom of the past had disappeared, and Jiang Tinglan behaved like a child.

When they returned to the dormitory, it was already 9:30 in the evening. He Mingyu saw Zhao Xiangwan bringing a girl back and was a little surprised: "Xiangwan, who is she?"

After Zhao Xiangwan briefly introduced Jiang Tinglan, he helped her wash up and arranged for her to rest.

The weather was hot, and the beds in the dormitory were covered with cool mats and mosquito nets. He Mingyu handed Jiang Tinglan a large palm-leaf fan and smiled friendly: "You took the train all the way here, must it be hard?"

Jiang Tinglan fanned herself vigorously and felt the heat gradually dissipate. Although she came to this unfamiliar environment, the person in front of her was a female police officer, which gave her enough sense of security, so she started chatting with her.

Zhao Xiang greeted Jiang Tinglan in the evening, and was worried about Ji Zhao, so he asked He Mingyu: "Has Ji Zhao had dinner?"

He Mingyu said, "He ate, but not much. Ji Zhao is actually quite easy to take care of. He follows me everywhere. He sits when I tell him to sit and eats when I tell him to eat. But when you tell him to follow me, he only listens to me. He ignores Zhu Kang and the others when they try to talk to him."

Zhao Xiangwan stood up and said, "I'll go see him."

Walking to the next door, light was coming through the crack of the door, and it was obvious that Ji Zhao was not asleep. Zhao Xiangwan knocked on the door, and it opened quickly.

Ji Zhao stood at the door, and when he saw Zhao Xiangwan, his eyes suddenly lit up, like a torch suddenly lit in the dark night, shining, bright, and blazing.

Larks dance on the branches, and the once silent meadow is suddenly covered with flowers. The stars are dotted, yet brilliant.

【You are back! 】

There is no grievance, no anxiety, only joy in the clear boy's voice.

For some reason, Zhao Xiangwan's eyes felt warm. He stretched out his right hand unconsciously, wanting to touch the wild flowers blooming in his mind.

Seeing the right hand approaching slowly, Ji Zhao could no longer hold back his eager heart. Fearing that another bystander like Xu Songling would stop him, Ji Zhao quickly reached out his hand and gently covered the back of Zhao Xiangwan's hand.

A gentle touch came, and Zhao Xiangwan felt as if the back of her hand was covered by smooth, warm silk. She raised her eyes and looked at Ji Zhao.

Ji Zhao's dark eyes were like a black hole, swallowing up all the light.

Zhao Xiangwan was also attracted by these eyes, and his heartbeat suddenly quickened.

Plop, plop!

Ji Zhao waited for so long and finally held Zhao Xiangwan's hand. He was so happy that he didn't know how to express it. He clasped his five fingers inward, wrapped her hand in his palm, and happily dragged her hand to his chest.

【Towards evening, toward evening.】

Zhao Xiangwan placed his hand close to Ji Zhao's chest, feeling Ji Zhao's heartbeat under his hand, and a faint smile gradually appeared at the corner of his mouth.

Plop, plop!

A sweet atmosphere enveloped the two of them, but the fluorescent light in the corridor made a "hissing" sound of electric current at an inopportune time.

"Xiang Wan!"

He Mingyu's shout broke the warmth between the two.

Zhao Xiangwan quickly withdrew his hand and turned to look at He Mingyu who was standing at the next door.

He Mingyu didn't see the two holding hands, but she felt that she seemed to have disturbed something, and hesitated for a moment: "That..."

Zhao Xiangwan said to Ji Zhao, "Go to sleep. I still have something to do."

Ji Zhao finally got what he wanted after being worried about all day. He nodded contentedly, turned around and went back to the house.

Zhao Xiangwan asked: "Senior sister, what's the matter?"

He Mingyu pointed outside: "I heard from Jiang Tinglan that Luo Yihui wants to find Ji Zhao?"

Zhao Xiangwan responded indifferently: "Ignore him." After that, he went into the house with He Mingyu.

There is a large bush behind the dormitory building, which is prone to breeding mosquitoes. I lit mosquito coils in the room, but there were still mosquitoes flying around.

Zhao Xiangwan and Jiang Tinglan were lying on the bed together, and a buzzing sound came from outside the mosquito net.

Jiang Tinglan felt bad when she saw Zhao Xiangwan sleeping on his side, so she whispered, "I'll look for a summer job tomorrow and try to move out as soon as possible. I'm sorry for crowding you out like this."

Zhao Xiangwan asked: "What kind of summer job do you want to find?"

Jiang Tinglan thought for a moment and replied, "I am studying accounting, and it would be best if it is related to my major. However, I am only a sophomore, and I have not learned many professional courses yet. I guess it will be difficult to find a job that matches my major. It doesn't matter, as long as it can provide food and accommodation, even if I have to serve dishes or be a waiter, it will be fine."

Before Zhao Xiangwan could say anything, He Mingyu's voice came from the bed opposite him: "Let Zhu Feipeng go find his mother tomorrow. Manager Lu should be able to arrange it."

After running around all day and trying hard to persuade his master and mistress to agree to his relationship with Ji Zhao, Zhao Xiangwan had another tiring day. As soon as his head touched the pillow, he felt sleepy and heard He Mingyu talking to Jiang Tinglan.

"Who is Zhu Feipeng? Who is his mother?"

"He's my colleague. His mother is a manager at the Four Seasons Hotel."

"Is it not a problem?"

"It's okay. We are all comrades in the serious crime squad. It's just a matter of a word."

"Thank you very much."

"Xiang Wan's friend."

…

Then, when I opened my eyes, it was already dawn.

Early in the morning, Jiang Tinglan was arranged to go to the Four Seasons Hotel to find He Manning, while Zhu Feipeng, He Mingyu and Zhao Xiangwan began to prepare for the interrogation.

Just as the photos and testimonies were ready, a person no one expected arrived—Yu Chuxiao.

Yu Chuxiao was wearing a grey long skirt, and she looked haggard, with slightly swollen eyes and a dark shadow on her eyelids. It was obvious that she had not slept all night.

"I want to meet Tan Xueru!" Her voice was trembling. After a night of conflict, she finally made up her mind.

Zhu Feipeng exchanged glances with He Mingyu and Zhao Xiangwan: "Okay."

A gleam of light flashed in Zhao Xiangwan's eyes. Just right! Let Yu Chuxiao disturb Tan Xueru's mind. Maybe he can find out important information.

In the interrogation room, Tan Xueru sat in a chair and waited quietly.

Over the night, the police did not make any move, which made him feel uneasy. What did the police find out? Why did they detain Qian Yong just because he reported the crime? Which man has not boasted about his own wisdom and bravery after drinking?

Tan Xueru had no idea what he said when he was drunk. How could the police believe Qian Yong's ungrateful and nonsense words?

He carefully recalled the scene from a year and a half ago, constantly giving himself psychological hints.

——It will be okay.

—I have an alibi.

——I have no motive to kill.

——Wei Qingwan and I have no grudge against each other, why should I kill her?

However, when the door of the interrogation room opened and a beautiful girl in a gray dress appeared before him, Tan Xueru threw all his psychological hints behind him. There was only one thought in his mind: Yu Chuxiao, why is she here? !

When facing Qian Yong, Tan Xueru can shamelessly brag about how well he and Wei Qingwan got along in bed; when facing the police, Tan Xueru can be stubborn and deny anything; but when facing Yu Chuxiao, who truly loved him, Tan Xueru feels guilty.

Yu Chuxiao sat in front of Tan Xueru, his lips trembling for a long time, but he didn't say a word.

After a while, Yu Chuxiao took a deep breath and asked, "Why?"

Tan Xueru raised his head subconsciously: "What?"

Yu Chuxiao: "Let me ask you, why do you want to break up with me?"

Tan Xueru never expected that so long after the incident, when he was detained in the public security bureau on suspicion of murder, his ex-girlfriend actually came to ask him the reason for the breakup.

【Ah, why did we break up? How should I put it. Should I tell you that I like your mother more? Chuxiao is indeed innocent and cute, and she is sincere to me, but she is a little princess who is spoiled and ignorant of the world. She needs to be coaxed, pampered, and taken care of. At first, I was willing to do so, after all, she could help me realize my dream of staying in the city. But since Qingwan and I got together, I suddenly felt that a new world appeared before my eyes.

It turns out that being coaxed, pampered, and cared for by a woman is really wonderful. Although Qingwan is a little older, what does it matter? Her skin is well maintained and she looks only in her thirties. She is crazy in bed and has a perfect body. She cooks well and has housing allocated by the unit. If I marry her, I can save twenty years of struggle in my life. Isn't it better than renting a house with Yu Chuxiao? 】

It was the first time in his life that Zhao Xiangwan had seen someone living off others so self-righteously.

Tan Xueru looked at the still young and beautiful Yu Chuxiao, with a flash of nostalgia in his eyes, and said softly: "Chuxiao, the reason I broke up with you is that I don't want to drag you down. I know that I am a poor boy from the countryside, just a temporary worker, and I don't have a high level of education. I am not worthy of you. Even if you don't mind these and are willing to suffer with me, I am also a man. How can I bear to let you live in a rental house with me and make your mother worry?"

Yu Chuxiao: "If you don't want me to suffer, why did you pursue me in the first place?"

Tan Xueru was at a loss for words, not knowing how to explain. After a long while, he said, "At first, I didn't know you were such a lovely girl. I just wanted to prove my charm by pursuing a city girl. Later, the more I got to know you, the better I thought you were. Plus, your mother was against it, and I couldn't bear to see you suffer in the rented house with me."

Do you want to break up because I'm good? Yu Chuxiao felt that her self-esteem had been greatly hit and she didn't say anything for a long time.

After a long while, Yu Chuxiao asked, "They said you were dating my mother? Is that true?"

Yesterday, the police told her that Tan Xueru had boasted about having a short-term relationship with Wei Qingwan after drinking, and she couldn't accept it at all. At that moment, she felt insulted - her boyfriend had sex with her mother? It was disgusting to think about it! After returning home, she thought about it for a long time, and she had to ask for clarification. If this was true, she could let go of her obsession with Tan Xueru.

Tan Xueru's face suddenly turned red. He still had some dignity, and was embarrassed to be questioned by his ex-girlfriend. For a moment, he didn't know whether to refute her directly or just admit it.

【Dating a mother and daughter at the same time, that kind of love that breaks taboos makes people lose their minds. To be honest, when I first saw Qingwan, she exuded a strong mature feminine charm, which was completely different from Chuxiao's youthful girlishness, and I was fascinated by her.

At first, I was able to control myself and treated her as an elder, being polite and courteous. But after Chuxiao and I started living together, Wei Qingwan's attitude became ambiguous. She invited me to dinner alone and tried to please me, which made me crazy. After I slept with her, Chuxiao was really boring.

Later, I treated her with all my heart and took the initiative to break up with Chu Xiao, hoping to marry her. However, she completely changed and started playing the game of half-heartedly accepting and half-rejecting me, which made me feel very upset. 】

The appearance of Yu Chuxiao suddenly brought Tan Xueru back to the past, and all the past events came to his mind.

【I was on a business trip with Lai Kuan. Hearing him proudly showing off his skills in front of me, I began to feel uneasy. I found an opportunity to call Wei Qingwan's office, and she once again said she wanted to break up. I didn't want to, and I said sweet words to her, which made her hesitant again. I said that it was okay to break up, but at least we had to meet once and do it for the last time before breaking up. She agreed and made an appointment to meet at Qingshi Beach on the bank of Zaohe River in the evening.

I took the 7 o'clock train and waited from 11 o'clock to 1 o'clock. There were so many willow trees on the Zaohe River beach. I sat on the big rock and waited like a fool. The night wind was so strong and there were so many mosquitoes. They bit my legs so much. I waited and waited but she didn't come. came. She was dressed so seductively and coolly.

She said she wanted to break up, but she wanted it in her heart. What a jerk! When I was in school, I saw this sentence: She talks about morality, but she is full of thieves and prostitutes. Haha, she is talking about people like her, right? I am a dozen years younger than her. Even if I am a poor boy from the countryside, am I not worthy of her? She wants both face and substance. She is really greedy. 】

Seeing that Tan Xueru remained silent for a long time, Yu Chuxiao suddenly became emotional and stood up with his hands on the table: "Are you really together with my mother? How shameless!"

Tan Xueru suddenly raised his head, stared at Yu Chuxiao, and suddenly grinned: "Chuxiao, how is it shameless to date your mother? How can it be shameless for a man and a woman to be unmarried?"

Yu Chuxiao had been protected too well since she was little, and for a moment she had no idea how to refute Tan Xueru's words. She was so angry that her face turned red, and she could only curse: "You are so shameless! She is more than ten years older than you, you really disgust me!"

Tan Xueru looked at her coldly: "Hateful? Why didn't you say you hated me when you were good to me and lived with me in a rented house and suffered? How can I hate you when I date your mother? Your mother said you were her life and she couldn't bear to see you suffer with me. Fine, I listened to her and broke up with you. But what was the result? Haha, I am not worthy of anyone, and I can't afford anyone!"

Tan Xueru's mentality has begun to become unbalanced, and now is the right time to attack!

Zhao Xiangwan stood up and helped Yu Chuxiao: "You are still pregnant, don't get excited, sit down and rest for a while."

Yu Chuxiao came back to his senses, put his right hand on his waist, and sat down tiredly.

Tan Xueru's eyes turned to Yu Chuxiao's lower abdomen, and a disdainful smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

[Oh, women, just like her mother, are all bitches. Just now she was questioning why I broke up with him, as if she was reluctant to do so, but the next second she was married and pregnant, bitch. ]

Zhao Xiangwan provoked him just in time, adding fuel to the fire: "In fact, you are quite self-aware. You are not worthy of either of these mother and daughter."

The veins on Tan Xueru's forehead were looming and his mood began to become unstable.

[Bitch! Why did you mess with me if you are not worthy of me? The moon was very big that day. I spread my clothes on a big rock. I thought I would see her blossoming in my hands, but unexpectedly... the marks on her body told me that she had just had sex with someone else! I pinched her neck and asked her like a madman who that person was, but she refused to tell me.

She has such a tough mouth and refuses to tell who that man is. Just do what you say you want to do, do it quickly, and don't see each other again after you do it. I hate it so much, I hate it so much! I showed my sincerity to her and broke up with Chuxiao according to her request, but she played with me! What a bitch! 】

"Tan Xueru, do you know who else Wei Qingwan met the night she last dated you?"

This was something that had been bothering Tan Xueru, and it tortured him so much that he wanted to know the answer even after killing Wei Qingwan. He didn't understand why Wei Qingwan said she loved him today, and couldn't leave him tomorrow, but slept with other men behind his back. It was because he couldn't let go that he told Qian Yong about the murder after getting drunk.

Hearing Zhao Xiangwan's question, Tan Xueru could not help but let her lead him. He leaned forward, stared at Zhao Xiangwan's face with burning eyes, and asked anxiously, "Who did she meet?"

Zhao Xiangwan said calmly, "She went shopping and bought a new dress for the date that night. Do you remember that black dress?"

Tan Xueru wanted to know the answer so much that he was so anxious that he didn't notice the trap in her words. He repeatedly said: "Remember, the skirt was very short, with hollow flowers, and a small red bow on the left chest. Tell me who that person is."

Zhao Xiangwan placed his right hand at his side and waved it quietly towards He Mingyu.

He Mingyu understood and took notes seriously. This bastard admitted that he had an improper relationship with Wei Qingwan and admitted that he had seen Wei Qingwan that night!
