Chapter 269 The Last Minute



After the email was sent, Sang Tianen waited at home.

She wasn't sure whether the police would believe it. After all, it was just her one-sided statement and a photo that only bore some resemblance to the original. Maybe the other party would think it was a prank or simply delete it as spam.

So she's gambling!

Regardless of whether Xiao Xingxing is Chu Chen or not, he cannot escape the fact that he is a killer, so if the police really come to arrest him, he is not wronged.

The next day, Sang Tianen, who was sitting in the living room quietly typing on the keyboard, seemed to hear some noise, like a knock on the door.

She stopped, walked quickly to the front door, adjusted the camera, and aimed it at the next door.

The property manager and two women in work clothes were standing at the door of Xiao Xingxing's house.

"Hello, property management, is anyone home?" The property manager knocked on the door several times, clenching his hands from time to time, not knowing whether it was because of the cold or other reasons.

Sang Tianen's gaze fell behind her. The two engineers were not tall and their appearances could not be seen because of the angle.

Her gaze slowly moved downwards, and the corners of her lips suddenly curled up. The black metal behind the woman's waist was shining coldly under the illumination of the corridor lights. It seemed that she had made the right bet.

"Hello, there's a complaint downstairs about a water leak. We came up to check it out. Could you please open the door?" The property manager's voice rang out again, this time with a hint of subtle nervousness.

The door still didn't open. The two engineers looked at each other, put their hands on their waists and took two steps back. The property manager also moved aside.

There was a sound of footsteps, and a group of special police officers in explosion-proof suits rushed out from nowhere, crowding the narrow corridor.

At this moment, the door suddenly opened, and Little Star appeared in front of everyone. He was wearing black pajamas and looked at everyone with a smile.

"Are you filming some kind of prank variety show?"

"Hello, we are from the Zhaoyang City Police Department. We suspect that you are involved in several murders. We would like to ask you to come back to the bureau to assist us in the investigation. Here is my ID." A tall policeman took out a wallet and showed it to Xiao Xingxing.

Little Xingxing's expression remained unchanged. She narrowed her eyes slightly and chuckled, "Auntie Police, you must have made a mistake. How could I kill someone?"

"That's not up to you. Just ask the bureau to investigate and you'll know."

Two special police officers stepped forward and twisted his arm. Xiao Xingxing immediately cried out, "You're wrong. I didn't kill anyone."

"Could you have made a mistake? This guy doesn't look like him." The property manager swallowed and asked in a low voice.

The tall policeman sneered: "Don't worry, we police officers always focus on evidence when handling cases."

As he said that, he pushed Little Star towards the elevator. Little Star pursed her lips and said pitifully, "You guys are holding me so tightly that it hurts. Can you let me go a little?"

The police ignored it. Just as they were about to enter the elevator, Xiao Xingxing, who was originally pressed down, suddenly looked back.

Sang Tianen suddenly pulled his body back and leaned against the visual screen, feeling a tightening in his chest.

He knew that the little star was looking at her.

But he was not angry, he just looked at her with a smile in his eyes.

Sang Tianen didn't understand what this meant. Shouldn't he be dying to kill her? Why was he still laughing?

Sang Tianen stood by the wall and thought for a long time but couldn't figure it out. Finally, he simply gave up thinking about it, walked to the coffee table, took out a cigarette and lit it.

The lights outside the window are already on, and there are even a few fireworks blooming in the distance. The annual Zhaoyang Music Festival is being held today.

Halfway through smoking a cigarette, Sang Tianen picked up his phone and sent a message to Yan Zheng -

"I know everything. I'm going on a trip with my parents tomorrow. We'll have a good talk in five days."

Just as I was about to click send, the fireworks outside the window lit up again, and this time they were even bigger and brighter.

Sang Tianen hesitated for a moment, deleted the message, and wrote a new one -

"I know everything. I'll be waiting for you at your favorite coffee shop tomorrow morning at six o'clock!"

After sending the message, Sang Tianen closed her computer, washed up, and went to bed. Her parents would be meeting her at 7 a.m. tomorrow, so she had to go to bed early and get enough rest.

The next day, Sang Tianen was awakened by the alarm clock. She turned over and struggled to get out of the quilt, then walked to the window and opened the curtains.

It was a thick black outside.

I remember that a month ago, it was already bright at this time, but now it is pitch dark.

Sang Tianen laughed and went to the bathroom to take a shower.

Everything had been packed yesterday. She just needed to turn off the water and electricity in the house and she could go out with her suitcase.

In order to present a beautiful image, Sang Tianen put on makeup for the first time, applying a thin layer of lipstick on her slightly pale lips, making her look very healthy.

After doing all this, she curled her lips in front of the mirror and went out in a good mood.

It was almost six o'clock and there were not many people on the road. Sang Tianen quickly arrived at the "Congrong" coffee shop. The shop was not open at this time, so Sang Tianen sat on a chair in the open air at the door and waited for Yan Zheng.

After sending a message to Yan Zheng last night, he did not reply. Sang Tianen guessed that Yan Zheng might have fallen asleep or wanted to have a face-to-face meeting just like her.

By 5:55, Yan Zheng still hadn't arrived. Sang Tianen became anxious and wanted to make a phone call.

As soon as he took out his cell phone, it suddenly vibrated in his palm. Looking at the unfamiliar number flashing, Sang Tianen frowned and swiped the answer button.

"Hello?"

No one spoke on the other end of the phone, only the sound of rapid breathing.

Sang Tianen waited for a few seconds, and seeing that the other party still didn't say anything, she wanted to hang up the phone. Just as she put down the phone, the voice of someone finally came from the receiver.

"Sister, save me!" A shrill cry almost shattered Sang Tianen's eardrums.

Almost instantly, Sang Tianen jumped up from his chair, his eyes wide open, and shouted, "Yangyang?"

"Do you remember me? Sang Tianen!" A strange yet familiar female voice took over Sang Muyang's voice and continued, "My former best sister!"

Sang Tianen's heart began to beat wildly, and his scalp felt like it was going to explode. This sound, this sound...

"...Xu Wenwen?"

"Why, have you forgotten me so quickly? Or have you been living too happily these past few years?" Xu Wenwen's voice was gloomy and low, with a hint of gnashing of teeth.

"What do you want to do? Where did you take my family?"

"Don't call the police, my parents, my brother and sister-in-law are all here with me, you know."

After hanging up the phone, Sang Tianen grabbed his bag and ran to his car parked on the side of the road and started the car.

After she left, a black car stopped by the roadside and Yan Zheng got out of the car. At this time, the huge electronic clock not far away showed 5:59.
