"Ah, I came here to tell you that we have intensified our search efforts but have not found any trace of Ms. An. So, please be prepared."
He lowered his eyelids. "I understand."
"Captain Li!" The returning henchman waved from the fountain.
Li Bi glanced at An Tong and walked over with him. He seemed quite impatient and said, "What's all the fuss about?"
"This piece of land has been renovated."
Li Bi looked down at the patch of land with only potted plants and newly transplanted turf, and casually said, "According to the investigation, Ms. An saw someone and hurriedly left the hotel and disappeared. Mr. An, we guess that person could be a criminal or someone Ms. An knows."
"Is that so?" An Tong's eyes remained completely calm.
Li Bi put it bluntly, "Mr. An, would you mind if we dug up this land and took a look?"
An Tong smiled, "Of course I don't mind."
The little follower, with his sharp eyes, immediately grabbed a shovel from the nearby greenhouse. He was naturally in charge of the hard work. Under Li Bi's signal, he quickly dug a hole, but after digging about half a meter deep, he only found a cluster of red roses and nothing else.
The assistant, unsure of what to do next, stared blankly at his boss.
The withered red rose lay quietly on the ground, its petals shriveled and showing signs of decay. Li Bi's face stiffened. "Mr. An...does he still have the habit of burying flowers?"
“Flowers can be a great source of nourishment sometimes,” An Tong said slowly. “In a while, I plan to plant white roses here.”
"Mr. An has the leisure to plant flowers even though his mother is missing. He really has a good interest in such things."
"Growing flowers has nothing to do with personal interest; it's just a way to cultivate one's character. In times of tension, what's needed is to maintain a calm mind. The earth won't stop turning just because something happens to me, will it? Officer Li."
“Mr. An’s words are all gems, and I have benefited greatly from them.” Li Bi’s smile had lost its sincerity from when he arrived. “I’m sorry to have bothered you today. I will come again if I have any news later.”
"Take care, officers."
Stepping out of the villa, the lackey said to Li Bi, puzzled, "I think An Tong is a good person. Although he's not in good health, he loves life and nature. Why do you doubt him, Captain Li?"
"Before I came here, I only wanted to rule out the criminals, but now I'm starting to suspect him."
"Why?"
"He was too good at hiding it."
Li Bi watched the girl run into the villa, wondering what she was thinking.
In the courtyard, An Tong, who had just seen off a group of guests, was greeted by another beautiful guest. Feng Guang had a bright smile on her face. "Long time no see, have you missed me?"
They actually met just yesterday.
An Tong looked up. "I do miss it a little."
She was taken aback; this was an unexpected answer. In the past, he would always just laugh off her teasing and never respond. However, she quickly noticed a large hole in the once-flat grass and pointed at it. "What happened?"
"Two interesting police officers have arrived."
"Is it related to your mother?"
"Um."
Feng Guang tilted his head and asked, "Then why did you dig a hole in your land?"
"They probably suspect that I buried the body here."
She covered her mouth in surprise, "How is that possible? Are those police officers crazy?"
"They're not sick, and you know best how glorious their lives are."
"Huh?" She blinked, puzzled.
Bathed in the warm sunlight, An Tong's lips curved into a captivating smile. "This time, I really have to thank Feng Guang."
