Chapter 199 Overtaking
"Since we have killed someone before, what difference does it make between one life and two lives?"
The old bachelor was hacked to pieces by the couple, but he was very strong. He didn't know where he got the strength from, but he suddenly pushed the couple away, then ran madly into the village, shouting, "Murder! Murder!"
The moment he saw other people, he fell to the ground with a thud. He was eventually sent to the hospital and although he was rescued, he eventually became a paralyzed vegetable in bed.
The couple were caught red-handed on the spot and were sentenced to more than ten years in prison for attempted murder.
As the woman's body was found, this dusty past came to light again. In the end, the couple was charged with multiple crimes including trafficking in women, illegal detention, murder and mutilation of corpses. They were executed in the spring of the following year.
Of course, this is all in the past.
Let’s go back a few hours.
The mountain road was winding. Su Yibei drove around and around for nearly an hour before he saw the small village on the top of the mountain.
The news of a murder in the scenic area on the top of the mountain was making headlines. Su Yibei didn't take it seriously at first, until Su Minghui called him and he found out that Su Leyun was also on the mountain and couldn't come down for a while.
The Su family and the Chu family were extremely worried, but transportation on the mountain was inconvenient, and Su Leyun repeatedly emphasized that he was fine and asked them not to worry. So they gave up the idea of mobilizing all their forces and only sent Su Yibei as a representative to go up the mountain to take care of the two of them, ensuring their safety and picking them up at the same time.
Su Yibei had rarely driven on mountain roads, so he drove slowly and steadily along the way. However, the car behind him seemed to be impatient and kept trying to overtake.
Su Yibei found a suitable position, slowed down the car, and subconsciously glanced at him while giving him way.
I was stunned at the sight.
His grip on the steering wheel tightened slightly.
In the rearview mirror, a black SUV passed by him. The man in the driver's seat was wearing sunglasses, with a sharp jawline, and his whole body exuded a ruffian air.
It turned out to be Huo Junyuan! How come he is here?
At that moment, Su Yibei's heart skipped a beat.
He slammed on the brakes, and the tires made a harsh sound as they rubbed against the ground. When he looked up again, the car had disappeared around the corner of the winding mountain road.
"I must have seen it wrong." Su Yibei muttered to himself, his fingertips unconsciously stroking the steering wheel.
It has been a long time since we last met. How could that person appear here? Does the young master of KTV need to go out for work?
Su Yibei's heart sank at the thought of this possibility.
Thinking that Su Leyun was still waiting for him on the mountain, Su Yibei shook his head, shook off all those messy thoughts, then started the engine and continued driving up the mountain.
When he reached the top of the mountain, the few parking spots in the village were filled with police cars, including the black SUV that had just passed him.
Su Yibei parked the car, but couldn't help but slow down when passing by and took a few glances at the SUV.
Unfortunately, the owner of the car was not in it, and Su Yibei couldn’t see any problem. He deliberately ignored the disappointment in his heart and quickened his pace.
Su Yibei arrived at the farmhouse where Su Leyun and his friends were staying. The owner thought he was staying there and went forward to greet him warmly. Su Yibei just shook his head and said, "I'm here to look for someone. He's your guest. His name is Su Leyun. Which room is he staying in?"
The boss shook his head: "I'm sorry, we can't disclose the privacy of our guests. How about you give him a call?"
Su Yibei had of course made a phone call, but at the moment Su Leyun was busy trying to liberate the female ghost and didn't notice that his phone was ringing.
He had no intention of making things difficult for his boss, and was just about to find a place to sit down and wait for Su Leyun when the members of the drama club came over upon hearing Su Leyun's name.
"Are you looking for Senior Su Leyun? What's your relationship with him?" The one who asked the question was a new member of the club, Junior Sister.
"I'm his brother." Su Yibei answered truthfully.
"Wow! Such a handsome brother!"
"Looking closely, he does look a lot like the senior!"
The little girls were chattering, and Su Yibei was in a very good mood because of the praise. The girl said she could help him call Su Leyun downstairs, and then she ran over quickly. After a while, Su Leyun and Chu Yanxiao really came downstairs.
"Second brother! Why are you here!" Su Leyun was so happy to see Su Yibei that his eyes lit up.
"Mom and Aunt Fu are worried about you, so they asked me to take you back." He touched Su Leyun's head, glanced at Chu Yanxiao behind him, and added indifferently: "And you, come back with me."
Chu Yanxiao gritted his teeth, but couldn't argue with Su Yibei. After all, he was Su Leyun's biological second brother. If he made him unhappy, what would happen to him and Lele?
He gave a stiff smile: "Thank you, second brother."
Looking at Chu Yanxiao's sudden change in personality, Su Yibei felt it was extremely weird. Is this still Chu Yanxiao? He never talked back to me, nor did he snatch Lele from me!
He would feel very uneasy about Chu Yanxiao doing this, and always felt that this kid was plotting something bad!
As they were talking, a group of police suddenly came to the farm house. They were investigating the murder case in the B&B and came to take statements because someone witnessed the two deceased having a conflict with Su Leyun and his friends last night and also firing the young assistant. According to the procedure, they were all suspects of the motive.
Su Yibei now put on his parental airs and stood aside, watching the young police officer taking the statement. His expression was so serious that the young police officer felt like he was the prisoner being interrogated.
The questions in the transcript were not actually very difficult. They just roughly asked what happened last night and why there was a conflict with the internet celebrity couple. Su Leyun and the others answered all of them in detail.
"Where were you around 3 a.m. last night?" The police officer continued to ask as he flipped through the log book: "Is there anyone who can prove it?"
"Sleeping in the room, he can prove it."
Both of them said in unison, pointing at each other.
Su Yibei almost couldn't catch his breath: "You two sleep in the same room? Did we give you too little pocket money? Lele, I will give you an extra portion of your pocket money every month, and you should sleep separately from now on!"
He suddenly spoke up, scaring the young policeman so much that he started to shudder. While recording, he silently complained in his heart, what's wrong with this brother? Isn't it normal for two men to sleep together?
Su Leyun nodded, very obediently: "Okay, second brother, I understand~"
The room fell inexplicably quiet. The young policeman's cell phone suddenly vibrated. He answered it and the voice was exceptionally clear in the room.
