Song Yiren supported her chin and stared at the food on the table in front of her in a daze.
Hearing footsteps, she turned around and saw Su Jinyue. She smiled slightly and said, "The meal is ready." Su Jinyue was going to die tonight anyway, so she might as well be nice to her as a farewell.
Su Jinyue glanced at the food on the table. Seeing that today's meal was very sumptuous, a hint of sarcasm flashed across her eyes. It seemed that this was Song Yiren's special meal for her before her execution.
"Are you feeling down? Is it because of Brother Zhan?" Seeing Su Jinyue remain silent, Song Yiren asked. Su Jinyue would never have imagined that this separation from Zhan Yihan would be permanent. From now on, Zhan Yihan was hers. She wanted a man she would never give up, even if it meant ruining him. She would be ruthless to anyone who stood in her way.
"Does this have anything to do with you?" Su Jinyue sneered at Song Yiren. She couldn't be kind to someone who was so intent on killing her. Besides, they had already fallen out, so why would she pretend?
"I'm asking this because I care about you." Song Yiren said, suppressing her anger. He really doesn't know what's good for him. Instead of being nice to her, he's even being mean to himself. He deserves to die.
"No need, I can't bear your care..." Su Jinyue stopped talking when she saw Xu Tiansheng coming in. She didn't want her master to be sad because of her and Song Yiren.
Xu Tiansheng walked to the table and sat down, picked up the bowl and chopsticks, "Let's eat!" Although he didn't say it these days, he knew very well in his heart that the relationship between Jin Yue and Yiren was no longer as close as before.
"Yes!" Su Jinyue and Song Yiren nodded, picked up the dishes on the table and started eating. Even if they wanted to argue, they would not do it in front of their master.
Song Yiren quickly finished her meal, put down her bowl and chopsticks, and looked at Xu Tiansheng, "Master, I'm going for a walk outside." As long as she thought that she would never see Su Jinyue again tomorrow, she felt particularly good.
Walking out of the house, Song Yiren came to the place where she met the man in black yesterday in the dark. She looked around, took out her bamboo flute and started playing it.
Not long after, a dark shadow emerged from behind the tree.
Seeing that it was the man in black, Song Yiren smiled and said, "You should take action tonight. You must not fail again this time." It took her two chances to kill Su Jinyue. It was really not worth it when she thought about it.
"Okay!" the man in black nodded in response.
"Tomorrow morning I want to see Su Jinyue's body. If she doesn't die, you will," Song Yiren threatened coldly. If he couldn't even kill a powerless woman after two chances, how could she expect him to help her with the third task? It would be better if the third task was to let him die.
The man in black suddenly stepped forward, grabbed Song Yiren's hand and pulled it behind her back, holding her firmly.
Song Yiren was shocked and struggled in fear, "What are you doing? Let me go." If she had known, she would not have threatened him.
The man in black pulled down the black scarf from his face, revealing a square face. "I'm a police officer. I have irrefutable evidence that you hired someone to kill someone. I'm taking you to the police station for investigation."
Song Yiren's face turned pale and her body began to tremble. "I... I didn't hire anyone to kill me. I was just joking. Please let me go. Please." How did the police know she was going to kill Su Jinyue? How did they know about the man in black?
"We'll find out everything when we get to the police station." The police officer pressed Song Yiren forward. He was sent by Director Yang to pretend to be a man in black, with the sole purpose of arresting Song Yiren.
Song Yiren was forced by the police to sit on a three-wheeled motorcycle. Even when they arrived at the police station, she still couldn't figure out how the man in black could be a policeman.
Arriving in the interrogation room and seeing the two sullen-looking police officers sitting before her, Song Yiren felt even more terrified. Growing up, she had never even known where a police station was, let alone how to enter one. What was she supposed to do now?
"Tell me the truth, why did you hire someone to kill someone?" one of the policemen asked coldly.
"I...I didn't..." Song Yiren shuddered. If she had known this would be the outcome, she would never have let the man in black kill Su Jinyue. She truly regretted it now!
Another policeman took out a small tape recorder from his pocket and pressed the play button on it. The conversation between Song Yiren and the policeman immediately came out.
"You will do it tonight, and you must not fail again this time."
"good!"
"I want to see Su Jinyue's body tomorrow morning. If she doesn't die, you will die."
Song Yiren's face was ashen, and she slumped in the chair. The other party had actually recorded her words, so what was the point of her defending herself? It seemed that she really had no way out.
Yang Tao was sitting on the sofa drinking tea and watching TV when he heard the phone on the table ring. He reached out and answered the phone, "This is Yang Tao."
"Chief! I'm Zhang Jie. The person has been arrested."
"Well done." Yang Tao said with satisfaction. After learning about Song Yiren's situation, he hung up the phone.
He took a sip of the tea on the table and sang Peking Opera in a good mood, "The cold wind penetrates the body, the night is deep, the sky is full of stars and floating clouds; the hero has infinite hatred at this point, and even the people are heartbroken."
"Why are you suddenly singing Peking Opera?" Lin Suyun walked out of the kitchen with a plate of fruit.
Yang Tao picked up the teacup and took a sip, then said with a smile, "I met an old friend today. He asked me to do something for him. I just received news that it has been completed."
"Old friend? Who is it?" Lin Suyun put the fruit plate on the table and sat down next to Yang Tao. She knew almost all of her husband's friends.
"It's the Zhan Yi I told you about..." At this time, the phone on the table rang again.
Yang Tao shrugged helplessly and reached out to pick up the phone, "I'm Yang Tao." Even at home, he rarely had free time. Sometimes when a phone call came in, he had to go to the police station in the middle of the night, so he had long been accustomed to it.
"Brother Yang, I'm Zhan Yihan." Zhan Yihan's voice came from the other side.
"Aren't you on the train? Where did the call come from?" Yang Tao asked in surprise.
"I borrowed a cell phone from someone. How's that going?" Zhan Yihan asked. His biggest concern right now was whether Song Yiren had been apprehended. He had originally wanted to have his friend who raised Gu poisons poison Song Yiren, but it would take at least three or four days for him to arrive.
He was worried that if Song Yiren saw that Jin Yue was fine tomorrow, she would take other measures to deal with her. Although Jin Yue was capable of protecting herself, he still didn't know the true power behind the man in black. Therefore, he could only feel at ease if he could control Song Yiren.
