“Without you… how can I be happy…” Feng Guang sensed the despondency and negativity in his voice, and she pleaded with him in a panic, “Duan Mu, we’re not without hope, believe me… I can definitely get you out of here…”
“You’ve done enough, Fengguang. Leave here, forget me, and you’ll still be the carefree eldest daughter of the Xia family. You don’t need to remember a murderer. These are things you shouldn’t be involved in.” Duan Mu’s smiling eyes curved slightly, like a gentle breeze, and as warm as jade. “Fengguang, I love you very much, but it’s time to say goodbye.”
"Duan Mu... Duan Mu, don't go!" Seeing him put down the phone and turn away, Feng Guang frantically pounded on the glass, but he couldn't hear her, nor would he look back at her. She finally choked out a sob, then quickly wiped her eyes. "I won't give up like this..."
Duan Mu's attitude was strange. He did not deny that he had killed someone, which made her even more convinced that there was more to the story. She didn't know what could make him willingly confess, but she was very clear about one thing: she had to get him out of there.
Upon leaving the room and seeing Wu Sen, Feng Guang immediately smiled and said, "It's already 12:30. Officer Wu, it must be time for lunch."
“That’s good…” Wu Sen looked at her slightly red eyes, clearly indicating that she had been crying, but she was still smiling and talking to him, which made him feel uneasy.
“Then I’ll treat Officer Wu to dinner.” Feng Guang smiled again. “You really went to a lot of trouble today. It would be unreasonable for me not to treat you to dinner, Officer Wu. You won’t refuse, will you?”
He had a feeling that if he refused, her next words would definitely be, "Do you look down on me?" She was the eldest daughter of the Xia family, how could he dare to look down on her?
Even knowing this was a trap, Wu Sen had no choice but to nod.
Yao Feng wanted to ask Duan Mu what was going on, but Duan Mu wouldn't even look at him, so he couldn't get a word in edgewise. And because he was worried about Duan Mu, he could only go to eat with him.
There's a Chinese restaurant near the police station, and it looks very impressive. "Order whatever you two would like, it's on me."
Looking at the food already laid out on the table, Wu Sen thought to himself that if he ordered more, there wouldn't be enough room. But he dared not pick up his chopsticks, otherwise he would truly be taking advantage of the other person's kindness. After hesitating for a while, he asked, "Miss Xia, please feel free to speak your mind."
"Since Officer Wu has put it that way..." Feng Guang didn't mince words, asking first, "Do you also think Duan Mu committed the murder?"
Wu Sen's answer was very official: "This is not a matter of whether I feel it or not, but a matter of evidence."
"But I don't believe Duan Mu killed anyone, so... I wanted to ask you if there's any information you haven't told me yet."
"Miss Xia, I've said everything I can. You can't expect me to give you the victim's information too, can you?"
“The victim’s information…” she nodded. “Indeed, we might find a breakthrough from this.”
"This is really going too far. It's a matter of principle that the victim's information cannot be made public. Miss Xia, let me be honest with you. Although Duan Mu seems like a good man, you should know from his two points—his habit of going to nightclubs and committing murder—that he is a fickle and dangerous criminal. Why do you, a rich young lady, always hang on to a crooked tree?"
