The manâs tense face finally relaxed upon seeing the womanâs sleeping face. The woman had been missing for the entire afternoon, and he would go crazy if he couldnât find her.
âWhat happened?â He lowered his voice and looked at Lin Ran.
âIn the makeup room of the TV station at noon, a woman walked in and pointed a gun at Sister Shengge. Then, Sister Shenggeâs second personality came out and subdued that woman. We were all fine.â Lin Ran took out her phone from her bag. âBut she refused to pick up the phone, and she didnât allow me to call you. She insisted on coming to the amusement park to play.â
Ji Shiting frowned and breathed, âWho is it?â
âUm...â Lin Ran shook her head awkwardly.â I donât know her. â
She had been too nervous in the afternoon and hadnât remembered Xie Siqiâs name.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
Ji Shiting pursed his lips and hugged the woman tighter.
Lin Ranâs description was simple, but he could imagine how terrified she had been. Fortunately, she was fine, otherwise...
The manâs arms trembled, and he lost control.
The woman in his arms woke up. She blinked and said, âShiting?â
âItâs me.â The man curled his lips and said gently. âAre you alright now?â
He then unbuckled her seat belt and carried her back to his car.
The woman smiled and said, âShiting, I have something to tell you.â
Ji Shiting raised an eyebrow.
However, before Ye Shengge could say anything, police whistles sounded nearby, and the voice surrounded them.
Ji Shiting looked solemn. He let go of the woman in his arms and said, âSit tight and donât come out, okay?â
Ye Shenggeâs heart pounded as she saw the police officers getting out of the police car, and she nodded.
Ji Shiting closed the car door and turned around, and the police officers walked to him.
âMr. Ji.â The police officer was shocked to see him.
âLong time no see, Officer Liu.â Ji Shiting smiled. âAre you here for a case?â
âYes.â Officer Liu looked at the car. He hesitated for a bit and said, âIs Ms. Ye Shengge in the car? Can you trouble her to get out and come back with us?â
âNo.â Ji Shiting looked cold.
âMr. Ji, itâs like this.â Officer Liu was obviously a bit afraid of him, so he had to explain. âWe received a report from the TV station that a Ms. Xie was tied to a chair in Ms. Ye Shenggeâs makeup room this morning and died because of blood loss. There were many wounds on her face and neck, and several of them that cut into her aorta...â
Ji Shiting was shocked. âAre you saying Xie Siqi is dead?â
He had guessed that Xie Siqi was the one trying to hurt Shengge, but he hadnât expected that woman to die just like that!
âThatâs right.â Officer Liu took out his phone and opened the photo album. âThis is the photo at the scene. You can take a look. The victim died a terrible death... Ms. Yeâs fingerprint was the only one on the knife that led to the victimâs death, so Ms. Ye Shengge is the prime suspect. I hope she can cooperate with us to investigate.â
The manâs face sank as he saw the blood all over the photo.
âImpossible,â Ji Shiting said expressionlessly. âYou must be mistaken. This has nothing to do with Shengge.â
