"Ask...go ahead and ask, but stay away from me."
Zhou Xiangdai's lips trembled as she stared at Chu Xiao in utter terror. The righteous red aura emanating from behind this man was suffocating even to ghosts.
Chu Xiao stepped back to the other side of the interrogation table and asked in a low voice, "Who killed you? Wu Yue?"
Upon hearing the name, Zhou Xiangdai instinctively looked at Wu Yue, who was still sitting on the cold work chair. The girl's expression was indifferent, her dark eyes were calm, and her pretty face had a faint brightness that made the cold and serious interrogation room feel a little more human.
If she had been on good terms with Wu Yue like that illegitimate daughter, she probably wouldn't be in this predicament now.
"What are you looking at her for? Look at me!"
Chu Xiao shouted coldly, which frightened Zhou Xiangdai so much that she shrank back and tried to curl up into a ball.
"Answer me." Chu Xiao added, "Since I can see you, I have a way to exorcise ghosts. Confess and you'll be treated leniently; resist and you'll be punished severely."
[Uncle Lantern Festival appears calm on the surface, but he's panicking inside.]
[Dog: What did I do wrong this time?]
[Chu Xiao: Actually, no, haha]
Zhou Xiangdai dared not look directly at Chu Xiao, turning her face away, hugging her knees, and said tremblingly, "It wasn't Wu Yue. I don't know who it was either, there were many people..."
"What do you mean? A group of people want to kill you?" Chu Xiao frowned unhappily.
He noticed the confusion and unease flashing in Zhou Xiangdai's eyes. He placed his hands on the table, leaned forward, and stared at her with his deep, cold eyes, which were extremely oppressive: "Tell me everything that happened before you died, without missing a single word."
"I……"
She seemed to be terrified of something, and although she opened her mouth, she didn't utter a single word.
Chu Xiao gave Zhou Xiangdai a full five seconds to recall, then a loud shout rang out in the quiet interrogation room: "Speak up!"
"Ah... I, I understand."
Tears welled up in Zhou Xiangdai's eyes. She bit her lower lip tightly and spoke after a long while, her voice trembling with sobs, completely devoid of the arrogance she had displayed at Old Master Song's banquet.
"Liu Huazhou, well, he's a friend of mine, also a rich second-generation. After I recovered, Liu Huazhou invited me to go on a trip on a private ship. There were quite a few other rich second-generations on board, both men and women."
I usually look down on these people, but I don't know what came over me that day, I was bewitched and... I agreed to go.
I didn't expect them to be playing so wildly..."
Wu Yue didn't understand at first, but then realized that what Zhou Xiangdai was stammering about could be summarized as group sex. On that ship, there was revelry among rich kids, as well as quite a few handsome young men who desperately needed money.
Yan Chiyu remained expressionless, exuding a cool and languid aura.
With her eyes closed, Wu Yue inadvertently conjured up several pixelated images in her mind. Forgive me, forgive me.
Chu Xiao frowned, a hint of disgust and displeasure flashing in his eyes.
Such a fine young man, how could he have fallen so low?
"So you were bullied too?"
"yes."
Zhou Xiangdai, looking disheveled and dazed, nodded: "They drugged me... I was forced into it. I wouldn't normally be so promiscuous, sob sob. Liu Huazhou, that man, is terrifying, so terrifying."
When I woke up, I didn't open my eyes immediately, but I overheard their conversation. I heard them talking about a drug called something like HTA, saying it would make people feel like they were in heaven/death, and that it was poisonous? That's what they said, and they were going to sell it in large quantities underground.
One of the participants noticed I was eavesdropping, and he…
"They injected you with HTA?" This plot was easy to guess, and Chu Xiao immediately replied, "The dosage was too high, so you died?"
