Chapter 143 Do you really think I'm that unreasonable?
As soon as she finished speaking, Wen Jiu met Zhou Yanchuan's gaze without any fear: "Yes."
His hand was still on her waist, and upon hearing this, he tightened it even more.
"You're capable of anything."
She sat on his lap and praised other men for how enjoyable it was to talk about them; only she dared to do that.
Wen Jiu's heart skipped a beat when the hand around her waist suddenly tightened. He knew her too well; even a single movement from him was almost unbearable for her.
She raised her hand to push his arm.
Zhou Yanchuan stared at those moist eyes, and finally couldn't bear to bully her anymore. The hand around her waist fell down with the force of her pushing him.
He sat up straight and leaned back in his chair.
The reaction was not what she expected, and Wen Jiu felt slightly confused.
They didn't even have time to get angry.
Zhou Yanchuan's satisfied and obedient appearance instantly dispelled the tense atmosphere between the two.
“I’m here to pick up Xiao Huang tonight,” he suddenly said.
Wen Jiu looked at him.
He glanced at her indifferently: "Look at me, I'm taking one today too."
"Little Yellow is my dog."
"It's mine too."
Wen Jiu remained silent.
She couldn't refute Zhou Yanchuan's words. In fact, he was the one who did the early socialization training. Li Yue said that Xiao Huang was well-behaved in front of her, but she had never seen it wag its tail like a propeller in front of Zhou Yanchuan.
"What time do you get off work today? I'll pick you up."
As if afraid she might overthink it, he immediately added two more words after that sentence: "With the dog."
"Working overtime today."
Zhou Yanchuan's lips curved slightly, and he raised his hand to touch her lips.
When a hand approached him, Wen Jiu instinctively tried to dodge. His hand paused in mid-air for a moment, but then fell back to where he had initially intended to touch.
He used his fingertips to wipe away the smudged lipstick and moisture from her lips.
"Then I'll wait downstairs for you to finish your overtime."
Whether it was the gentle look of Zhou Yanchuan's lowered eyes or the dazed feeling of being kissed, Wen Jiu found it to be tender when he said those words.
It reminded me so much of waiting for her to come home after school.
Wen Jiu's eyes felt a little sore, so she turned her head away.
The barrier lowered, and Lu Nian glanced back briefly.
"The boss has arrived."
Zhou Yanchuan gestured for the lock to be opened.
Wen Jiu paused slightly as she turned her gaze, vaguely sensing that the place in front of her was familiar.
After a few seconds of stunned silence, I realized this was the entrance to her workplace.
Her eyes widened slightly in surprise.
Aren't we going back to Yujing?
As if guessing what she was thinking, a haughty yet inexplicably indulgent voice rang out from behind her: "Do you really think I'm that unreasonable?"
Her heart skipped a beat, and then she suddenly remembered the kiss from earlier. "You think you're so reasonable?"
As if deliberately trying to annoy him, Wen Jiu raised her hand and wiped her lips.
Watching the figure wipe his mouth and walk away without looking back, Zhou Yanchuan smiled.
How stupid!
but.
I'm finally not so tense anymore.
"Boss, shall we go back to the company next?" Lu Nian asked tentatively.
"Um."
Upon hearing this, Lu Nian glanced again at the person leaning back in his seat with his eyes closed, pretending to sleep, through the rearview mirror. The handsome face showed a faint weariness, which was why their usually cold and aloof boss called him to ask about the situation as soon as he got off the plane.
Later, I bumped into her chatting and eating with another man. She didn't say a word and just sat quietly in the carriage watching the whole thing.
Given this level of concern, Lu Nian was even more curious about the relationship between this Miss Wen and their boss.
As Wen Jiu got out of the car and walked into the yard, she didn't notice a person huddled in the corner taking pictures with a camera.
She strode up the steps.
Wen Jiu had just opened the office door when she received some bad news.
The police couldn't get any crucial questions out of him, and Song Yang's parents even issued him a mental health certificate, advocating for a not guilty plea.
As for the victims, due to the status of the Song family and Qin Qing in the legal circle, not a single lawyer dared to take the case.
Sun Jin, one hand on her hip and the other banging on the table, said, "You only remember your son has a mental illness after something happens? Why didn't you take him to the hospital before this happened? A not guilty plea? How dare you?"
Wen Jiu frowned. When she took on this case, she knew it would be a tough battle, but she didn't expect them to act so quickly.
The atmosphere in the room was somber.
Wen Jiu sat at her desk, flipping through the case files sent by the police.
I don't know how many times I've looked at it, but my gaze has landed on a name.
"Li Xingzhou."
"Sister Jin, why don't I see any information about this boy's identity?"
Wen Jiu's voice suddenly rang out.
Sun Jin stood up and walked over to the case files she was holding.
Which one?
“This Li Xingzhou,” Wen Jiu pointed to the name on the paper, “why was he only mentioned briefly, and there’s no other information?”
Sun Jin picked up the document and looked it over. She also felt something was wrong. She turned to the girl next to her and said, "Fanfan, go and call Captain Liu to ask about this guy named Li Xingzhou."
"yes."
Lin Fan responded by taking out his phone, making a brief exchange with the other end, and then looked up at the two people.
“He and the victim, Zhiyi, were classmates. He was also at the crime scene on the day of the incident, but he was there to deliver something and left immediately afterward.”
After listening to the girl's explanation, Wen Jiu pondered for a moment and then said, "I'll ask Captain Liu for his home address. I'll go there this afternoon."
Sun Jin looked at the person who suddenly said that and asked, "Do you think there's a problem?"
Wen Jiu shook her head: "I'm not sure, I want to go and check first."
"Okay, let's go to his place this afternoon."
As soon as Sun Jin finished speaking, Lin Fan muttered from the side, "Isn't this address across from Zhiyi's house?"
"What?"
*
"Knock knock knock".
A dull knocking sound echoed in the hallway.
Wen Jiu stood at the door for a while, and seeing that no one opened the door, she raised her hand again.
Just as she was about to knock again, the door was suddenly opened from the inside.
Looking at the dejected and haggard boy standing behind the door, her calm expression froze for a moment before returning to normal.
"Excuse me, are you Li Xingzhou?"
"Um."
She showed her identification: "We have some questions for you about Zhiyi."
As soon as Wen Jiu finished speaking, she noticed that the hand gripping the doorknob suddenly tightened.
The boy was silent for two seconds, then opened the door.
She and Sun Jin put on shoe covers and followed them inside.
Upon entering, Wen Jiu noticed a pair of pink slippers among the rows of boys' shoes on the shoe rack.
The feeling was so familiar that she almost instantly realized the nature of their relationship.
"You and Zhiyi are childhood sweethearts, right?"
