"Pour me a cup of tea!"
Song Ke took a deep breath, suppressing the urge to punch someone that was rising in his heart, and tried his best to maintain the last bit of superficial calm.
He knew perfectly well that the little girl in front of him didn't really want water; she was just deliberately picking a fight to embarrass him because she didn't like him!
But it was clear that now was not the time for him to vent his anger.
The girl in front of me looks gentle and harmless, but she's actually quite cunning. If I'm not careful, she might seize on my weakness and launch a fierce counterattack.
The fact that he was given a hard time under the pretext of drinking water is the best proof of this.
So even though he was about to explode with anger, Song Ke didn't show it at the moment. He looked at Song Mengmeng calmly and waited patiently.
Only after watching Song Mengmeng accept the tea offered by the staff and slowly finish drinking it before setting down the teacup did he continue in a calm tone, "So, is Miss Song now willing to answer my question?"
The previous targeting was merely an attempt to seize an opportunity to make a fuss.
Song Mengmeng didn't actually want to drink that tea; her main purpose was to use this opportunity to turn the tables on Song Ke!
But now, Song Ke has realized what's happening and stopped being so aggressive. She's started talking normally now. If she continues to nitpick, it will just be blatantly unreasonable!
Song Mengmeng grasped the nuances of this situation very clearly.
So when faced with Song Ke's question, Song Mengmeng nodded readily and said quite sincerely, "Of course, cooperating with your work is my duty. As for anything related to the case, as long as I know it, I will definitely tell you everything I know!"
"Then, I'll repeat the first question. How did you know that the homeless man was problematic?"
Song Ke softened his tone, trying to calm himself down and regain control of the conversation.
What Song Ke didn't expect was that before he could finish speaking, the girl in front of him couldn't help but laugh out loud. She only stopped laughing when she met Song Ke's fierce gaze, which could kill. Although she tried her best to restrain herself, she still couldn't hide the smile in her eyes: "Sorry, I couldn't help it just now."
Actually, I didn't mean anything by it. It's just that you know my identity very well, so isn't it ridiculous that you asked such a question?!
If my abilities were so great that I couldn't even detect the approach of such a scheming sorcerer, then how do you think I was able to escape from danger time and time again?!
"If that's the case, then you should at least give an explanation about who your teacher is!" Song Ke's carefully constructed demeanor almost crumbled on the spot because of Song Mengmeng's sharp retort.
He was so angry that he completely forgot that the seemingly gentle and weak girl in front of him was actually a master of the Xuanmen sect!
Song Ke coughed softly and turned his head to the side, avoiding Song Mengmeng's smiling gaze, in order to ease his current embarrassment.
After a while, he calmed down and turned to Song Mengmeng to continue asking questions.
However, Song Mengmeng reacted much more calmly to Song Ke's question. She smiled casually and said, "This question doesn't seem to have any direct relation to the case at hand, does it?"
"How could there be no connection? Everyone in the Xuanmen has their own background and origin! Miss Song, your sudden appearance and involvement in so many special cases, if you can't give me a clear answer, I'm afraid it will be difficult for me to dispel my suspicions about your purpose in suddenly appearing in front of everyone."
Song Ke was well aware that he had lost the initiative in this conversation. However, he had no intention of giving up so easily. Seeing Song Mengmeng's persistent questioning, he decided to use this opportunity to probe further into the background of this young girl.
"Inspector Song, it's your prerogative to suspect that I have any ulterior motives or purposes. I can't make everyone in this world believe me, can I?!"
However, if you want to accuse me of having problems, please provide evidence to support your claim! Without evidence, I will only think that you are deliberately targeting me because of my behavior in Baiyue City.
If you continue to blur the lines between public and private matters, I also have the right to complain to your superiors about your dereliction of duty!
Faced with Song Ke's aggressive approach, Song Mengmeng showed no fear whatsoever. She simply sat there quietly, watching Song Ke calmly reason with her.
"Fine! If you don't want to answer this question, then forget it!"
Let's move on to the next question. Miss Song probably still remembers the case of the Fang family's eldest daughter's disappearance, right? In that case, one of the guests who participated in that variety show went missing, and the other four suffered severe health problems and are still receiving treatment in the hospital.
Only you, Miss Song, left that perilous filming scene unharmed!
So, Ms. Song, what exactly happened during that day's filming? You should at least provide an explanation!
Song Ke had no intention of giving up on questioning Song Mengmeng.
He was certain that the girl in front of him was definitely suspicious!
As long as he can get the girl in front of him to talk, he will be able to find enough leverage to overwhelm Hu Yue!
Faced with Song Ke's relentless pressure, Song Mengmeng countered each move with a counter-move, not taking the man's attacks seriously at all.
She lowered her eyes, as if pondering for a while, before looking up at Song Ke and saying, "Before answering your question, Inspector Song, there is something I am really curious about."
Inspector Song, I heard from Inspector Hu Yue that you've been in the Special Cases Investigation Team for quite some time now! So how did you complete those cases you handled before?
You said you called me here to inquire about this case, but your questions are all ridiculous.
I've told you more than once that even if I'm incompetent, I still possess some skills! So I'm not easily fooled by some simple evil forces!
So, on my way to the show that day, I realized something was wrong, and then I figured out a way to deal with it, and in the end, we left the filming location safely. Is that a strange outcome?!
