âWhat should we do then! Yin Shaojie, arenât you very good at this? Donât you have a clue yet?â
Han Qiqing was so flustered that she felt like pouring scorn on them.
But then Yin Shaojie replied, âYes.â
Han Qiqing and Song Shijun looked to Yin Shaojie at the same time, astonished.
âYes? You said you have a clue?â
Yin Shaojieâs eyes were bright as he nodded as though he was in deep contemplation, his eyes hard to read from.
âI have had someone in my mind for quite a while already, but I didnât have the evidence.â
Han Qiqing asked in surprise. âSomeone in mind? Who? Just who exactly is it! Tell us!â
It would be good even if it was only a suspect!
She was confounded, with no clue of who might have the motive to commit these crimes.
This time, Han Qiqing finally admitted that her brain wasnât very useful, unlike Yin Shaojie and Song Shijun who seemed to always be able to think deeper into the problem.
This time, even Song Shijun was a little surprised and asked, âWho do you suspect?â
âThis matterâ¦â
Ka cha! The door opened behind them.
The three instinctively turned to look at the same time and saw Mu Xiaoxiao coming from the lounge.
Mu Xiaoxiaoâs lips were a bit pale and the eyes that had always been radiant were looking quite lifeless. She wasnât looking very well.
She asked, âWhat are you guys talking about?â
Yin Shaojie frowned as he got up from the sofa. He walked over to her quickly and wrapped his arms around her shoulders, letting her lean onto him.
âWhy did you come out? Why donât you sleep a while more?â
Mu Xiaoxiao shook her head. âI canât sleep.â
Song Shijun complained to Han Qiqing, âItâs all your fault. Why were you talking so loudly? You even woke up Xiaoxiao!â
Han Qiqing looked innocent, originally intending to shoot back at him, but then again, she was indeed the one who had been speaking the loudest. Though Yin Shaojie had been calm, every word he said seemed to burn, and though Song Shijun was speaking gently, he was pressuring with every sentence he spoke.
She was the only one who seemed to be using the threatening method.
Why did it seem like there was such a huge gap between them?
Han Qiqing said apologetically to Mu Xiaoxiao, âIâm sorry, Xiaoxiao. I woke you up. Are you feeling better now? Are you still feeling unwell?â
Although Mu Xiaoxiao smiled she still seemed to be low energy. Her brows were still knitted together.
She held her forehead and said, âMy head feels heavy and dizzy. Itâs quite uncomfortable, but I canât sleep. Oh yeah, did I just hear An Zhixinâs voice? Whatâs the matter?â
âThat isâ¦â Han Qiqing was going to say something, but Yin Shaojie shot a glance at her and she shut up.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
Yin Shaojie took Mu Xiaoxiao to sit on the sofa.
He gave her a cup of hot water and let her have a few sips.
Then he said, âWe only brought her here to ask some questions. She told us everything. Someone was indeed bribing her. I will investigate this matter. You donât have to worry. Rest first. When you have recovered Iâll tell you in detail.â
âOkay.â Mu Xiaoxiao nodded her head assuredly and leaned her head against his shoulder.
The smell of his manly scent was very pleasant, and it seemed to soothe her discomfort.
Yin Shaojie reached out and touched her forehead, and his brow wrinkled. âYou seem to be burning a little.â
Although he knew she only had a cold, it would indeed be quite dreadful if it became serious.
Seeing her become like a deflated balloon instead of the usual ball of energy that she was made his heart ache.
