Su Ziyue’s heart skipped a beat as she stared straight at the door, not daring to move even an inch.
The next moment, the door of the room was opened, and the tall figure of Qin Muchen appeared at the door. NôvelDrama.Org owns this text.
When Qin Muchen pushed the door and came in to see Su Ziyue sitting on the sofa holding a kitchen knife, his brows furrowed as he instantly sobered up.
He strode forward and quickly walked to Su Ziyue with a cold expression. “What happened?”
He had been tipsy when he came here. When he reached downstairs, he saw that no lights were on in her apartment, so he thought she had slept.
He had just wanted to come and see her, but he didn't expect to see such a scene after entering.
Su Ziyue was stunned for a moment before she asked him quietly, “Why are you here?”
However, Qin Muchen just kept mum as he stared down at her. Then he reached out and took the kitchen knife away from her hand before putting it on the coffee table at the side.
When the kitchen knife knocked against the coffee table, it made a crisp sound, causing Su Ziyue to come back to her senses.
Why did Qin Muchen come here so late at night?
Feeling uncomfortable under his gaze, she got up and stood aside. Holding her arms, she asked him again, “Why are you here?”
Still, her anxious emotions due to the break in just now suddenly calmed down.
“What happened?” Qin Muchen's gaze fell on the swollen half of her face, and he tensed his hand that hung by his side while thinking, That fat man got off easy. I just stepped on him once.
“Nothing.” Su Ziyue chose to tell the truth under his deep gaze.
Just now, she almost couldn't hold herself back from rushing into Qin Muchen's arms.
Fortunately, she suddenly remembered what had happened at the Lumiere Jade House that night and stopped herself in time.
He had just stood by and watched others hit her. Did she really expect him to feel sorry for her if she told him about the break in?
Qin Muchen looked at her carefully with an intense gaze.
Of course he knew that Su Ziyue was lying; she always loved to lie.
The two stood beside the sofa silently.
She wasn't sure why Qin Muchen had come to her place in the middle of the night, but she knew that it
was definitely not because he was bored.
The two people, who had lived together for nearly half a year, suddenly became speechless around each other.
“If that’s all you have to say, I'm going to bed now. I have to go to work tomorrow.” She couldn’t just have drinking parties at the Lumiere Jade House as she wished like him when she wasn’t working.
She had to work well in the Su Group and look for opportunities to get Su Yuanming to tell her about her father’s whereabouts.
Thinking of this, she suddenly remembered that Qin Muchen had said he would help her look into her father's affairs. But in the end, he told her that he had found nothing.
Now that she thought about it, it sounded like an excuse.
Su Yuanming was not that bright. Where would he hide her father? How was it possible that even Qin Muchen couldn't find any clues about his whereabouts?
Who was Qin Muchen? There was no way he wouldn't be able to find even a single clue if he put his heart into the investigation.
Obviously, he didn't investigate seriously. She hadn't thought about such a simple reason at that time.
He had told her that it was difficult to check as a long time had passed, and she had believed it.
She just believed what he said.
She was so stupid.
Meanwhile, Qin Muchen just kept silent as Su Ziyue walked around him and lay back on the bed.
Perhaps because there was an extra person in the room, Su Ziyue suddenly felt less scared and soon fell asleep after lying on the bed.
The next morning, when the alarm clock went off, Su Ziyue was still very sleepy, so she didn't want to get up at all.
However, she had no choice but to get up from bed.
Then, she subconsciously looked toward the sofa and found that it was empty.
Qin Muchen must have left in the middle of last night.
Su Ziyue took a deep breath and went to the bathroom exhaustedly, thereafter she went directly to the company.
When she arrived at the Su Group, Su Ziyue went into her office and started working.
Not long after, An Xia suddenly said mysteriously, “Do you know? Neither the chairman nor the vice president came to the company today.”
Su Ziyue looked up suspiciously and asked her, “What happened?”
An Xia's eyes flashed with excitement. “I don't know, but I heard that something happened at their home. I heard someone say that someone from the Su family stirred up some trouble, and the police went to look for them early this morning.”
She had heard about this rumor early in the morning, and she had been waiting for Su Ziyue to come to share the news with her.
Hearing this, Su Ziyue remembered what had happened at the hot spring before.
He had said that he would handle the matter within a week.
But a week had already passed, and apart from the news of the annulment of Su Yige and Gong Zeyang's engagement, there was no more update regarding Xu Youran's case.
Could it be that the police came to look for them today because of what had happened at the hot spring?
If not, she couldn’t think of any other reason why the police would be looking for them.
Su Youcheng and Su Yuanming did not come to the company all morning.
At noon, the police came to the Su Group to look for Su Ziyue.
“Miss Su, please come with us. We have made new progress in Xu Youran's case and we need your cooperation.”
Then, Su Ziyue went to the police station with them.
Su Ziyue knew that the police went to the Su Residence because of Xu Youran's case.
When she arrived at the police station, as she expected, she saw a group of people from the Su family.
Everyone from the Su family had a sour expression on their faces.
As soon as Su Yige saw Su Ziyue, she strode toward her. “Su Ziyue, come at me alone if you hold any grudges toward me. Why did you have to kill innocent people and frame my mother?!”
Su Ziyue glanced at Su Yige coldly. “Frame? Isn't that what you’re best at?”
“What nonsense are you talking about?!”
“You should know yourself best whether I’m talking nonsense. Plus, please mind your words. I have never killed nor framed anyone.”
Then, Su Ziyue was taken away by the police before Su Yige even had the chance to react.
In the interrogation room—
Su Ziyue sat opposite the police officer with a calm expression.
The police asked her, “Back then, you and Xu Youran had some conflict when you were classmates, right?”
Su Ziyue glanced at the policeman on the opposite of her. This policeman was the one who had
interrogated her last time, so he was no stranger to her.
Su Ziyue went straight to the point and asked, “Are you trying to say that I killed her when I met her again because I held a grudge against her since Xu Youran was the one who spread the rumours of my abortion when we were at school?”
The policeman raised his eyebrows. Seeing how straightforward Su Ziyue was, he said bluntly, “We aren’t ruling out that possibility.”
Although he spoke with a flat tone, he wasn't necessarily harsh toward her.
Therefore, Su Ziyue was sure that they must have gotten hold of some important evidence, and they brought her here only because a certain part of the investigation required her cooperation.
