Lu Gui and Ming Mei didn't wait long in the police station lobby. Mu Chen was soon released, and at the same time, Ming Mei and Lu Gui saw Zhen Hu, who looked dejected, following behind Mu Chen.

Am I right?

Mingmei was speechless upon hearing Lu Gui's words. She could tell that Mu Chen's entry was indeed related to the other party, but—

Mingmei watched Mu Chen walk ahead, his steps light and his expression relaxed, while Zhen Hu behind him showed the complete opposite attitude. He looked resentful, and his accusing eyes made Mu Chen's head ache.

"Ah Chen, are you alright?" Mingmei stepped forward and met Zhen Hu's gaze behind him. Zhen Hu was instantly speechless upon seeing Mingmei's look.

Her gaze was so obvious.

They were practically asking Zhen Hu what foolish thing he had done.

Therefore, Zhen Hu, who was the first to be stabbed and nearly self-destructed, immediately lowered his head and remained silent, feeling guilty.

This whole thing really started because of him, but he never expected Mu Chen to get away so easily.

Mu Chen's easy escape made him seem like a complete idiot for what he had done earlier.

So naive, he fell for someone's trick so easily.

"It's too late, let's go back and rest." Mu Chen stopped, turned his head and said to Zhen Hu, and told him where he was currently staying.

As they were talking, Lu Gui, who had also overheard them, raised an eyebrow and asked, "I'm on leave tomorrow, may I visit you?"

Upon hearing Lu Gui's words, Mu Chen and Zhen Hu naturally saw Lu Gui as well. Seeing that Lu Gui wasn't asking about them, but about Ming Mei beside him, Mu Chen's expression instantly turned cold. In the end, he didn't say anything, but instead took Ming Mei's hand and said before leaving, "If you have time, you can send this guy back."

After saying this, Mu Chen left the two of them behind and departed with Mingmei.

Mingmei turned back to wave goodbye, just in time to see Zhen Hu standing there, looking completely bewildered. Lu Gui was whispering something to him, and neither of them noticed Mingmei's actions.

"What's wrong?"

Mu Chen noticed that Mingmei had turned to the side and raised her hand halfway.

"They seemed to be talking and didn't notice me." Mingmei didn't take it to heart; she was more curious. "Why did you have Lu Gui escort Zhen Hu back?"

"I'm worried that Zhen Hu will be silenced."

"What?!" Mingmei exclaimed in surprise, only then realizing that she hadn't asked what had happened yet.

However, Mu Chen didn't seem to be in a hurry. He took Mingmei back to the capital and didn't mention the matter. He just quietly said, "It's late, we should rest."

Mingmei: "..."

Suddenly, they realized that a man and a woman, all alone, were in the same room.

...

【Hey, I can't sleep.】

Gui Gui: [It's obvious, host, that your eyes have never been closed. In the darkness, your eyes seem to rival the sun.]

Bright and beautiful: ? ? ?

What a strange metaphor!

Mingmei sighed softly, turned over and lay on her side. She saw that Mu Chen on the opposite bed didn't seem to be asleep either, and the two of them were facing each other.

"What a coincidence."

The nightlight on the table still emitted a faint glow, and the two people faced each other with their eyes wide open, feeling slightly awkward.

"I don't understand what happened tonight."

Mingmei gave a dry answer as to why she couldn't sleep, even though the reason drew disdainful sneers from Guigui.

[Didn't you have some color waste in your head?]

Bright and beautiful: [...]

For a moment, Mingmei really wanted to silence Guigui.

"So that's why Meimei is like this~"

For some reason, Mingmei felt that Mu Chen's words sounded somewhat melancholy and resentful.

"What about you? It's so late, and with so much going on tonight, why aren't you asleep yet?"

"Ah, I was wondering if Meimei, you might be too curious to sleep because you didn't hear me tell you what happened tonight."

Mingmei felt that Mu Chen was like a Russian nesting doll.

Then, after his mind had been filled with both malevolent and scheming thoughts about Mingmei, this time he started to have a scheming and scheming thought about Mu Chen.

[Hmph, I guarantee he thinks the same way you do!]

Mingmei: [Guigui, does your AI have some strange cycle?]

Gui Gui: [What?]

Bright and beautiful: [Like menopause.]

Gui Gui: [...]

"So...do you want to tell me?"

After leaving Gui Gui speechless, Mingmei remembered where her conversation with Mu Chen had gone.

"Alright, if you don't tell me, I think you won't be able to sleep tonight." Mu Chen said with a helpless tone but with a hint of doting. "When I was taken in for questioning today, they finally said that my employer had been caught and that he had confessed to everything he had done, so they told me to tell the truth."

"Are you kidding me?"

Mingmei immediately sensed something fishy was going on. If she was really going to admit it, why did she wait until she couldn't get any more information out of her before saying all this?

“Yes.” Mu Chen laughed as he listened. “So I still denied everything, and then they brought Zhen Hu over and said that he admitted that he had asked me to help him kill someone.”

"Your employer is Zhen Hu?"

The slight sleepiness that Mingmei had just managed to cultivate was quickly dispelled by her restlessness.

"No." Mu Chen shook his head, thought for a moment, "However, there are indeed quite a few people on the dark web who want to get rid of that boxer. Zhen Hu was just one of the people who contacted me. However, it was the first time that the other party, the Immortal, had hired someone on the dark web. He didn't understand the whole process, so he didn't spend the money, didn't find the killer, and instead revealed his weakness."
