“Thank you, sorry for disturbing you.”
Xie Xuning raised his wrist and took a glance at his watch. It was time for him to go.
He thanked Jiao Hongmei and left.
Xie Xuning’s guards followed him wherever he went until late at night. They must’ve been overwhelmed with fatigue after traveling for such long distances.
Obviously, he could not expect his guards to drive him back to the Imperial Capital at that hour.
Once they were out of Jiao Hongmei’s residential area, there was a food street nearby with most of its restaurants still operating.
Since the people of Shenhai City preferred to have clay pot porridge during winter, Xie Xuning led the guards into one of the restaurants that sold clay pot porridge.
“Here, Chief, take a look at the menu.”
Xie Xuning shook his head and said, “I don’t have much of an appetite right now. You guys can have anything you like.”
Business boomed in the clay pot porridge restaurant even though it was already late into the night. The staffs of the restaurant were as busy as ever.
Xie Xuning took a sip of Pu’er tea while toying with the ceramic teacup in his hands. He thought about what Jiao Hongmei said and thought, “It was Lu Jijun again!”
He thought that Lu Jijun must’ve been important if he was involved in all the incidents back then.
Unfortunately, however, Lu Jijun’s time of death seemed too much like a coincidence.
Xie Xuning’s head throbbed so much that he felt as if his scalp might split anytime.
“Here, Chief, have some porridge to warm yourself.”
One of the guards got Xie Xuning a bowl of porridge and placed it before him.
Xie Xuning ate the porridge in small mouthfuls. The aroma of the porridge was particularly rich.
The simmering and aromatic porridge gradually warmed Xie Xuning’s chilly heart.
Xie Xuning asked one of the guards to book three rooms in a hotel after their meal.
Loud footsteps could be heard from the corridor outside their hotel rooms when the sky was still grayish.
“Open the door!”
Someone knocked on the door aggressively. Since Xie Xuning was still awake, he decided to go and open the door…
The people outside rushed in once the door opened. Xie Xuning was dressed neatly.
The people said nothing and wanted to press Xie Xuning against the wall.
“What are you doing?”
The guards in the next room woke up and rushed to Xie Xuning’s defense.
“What are we doing? You’re suspected of committing a murder case. Please cooperate with our investigation.”
Upon hearing those people’s response, Xie Xuning snorted coldly, “Are you saying that I’m involved in a murder case?”
“You guys were at Jiao Hongmei’s place between 2:30 – 3:00 in the morning, right?”
Xie Xuning was stunned for a moment. Jiao Hongmei? Murder case?
Hearing those two phrases together made it seem like something bad was about to happen.
“Stop spewing out nonsense! Why would we kill someone?!”
The guards starting refuting the accusations.
Xie Xuning gave them a look, and the guards went silent obediently. He then rhetorically asked, “So, what you guys are trying to say is that I’m the one who killed Jiao Hongmei, right?”
The people who came did not answer Xie Xuning’s question straightforwardly. “You are one of the primary suspects of the murder case, so please cooperate with our investigation.”
“Fine. I’ll cooperate with your investigation, but you guys better be able to provide concrete evidence. Otherwise…”
Xie Xuning laughed coldly. He wanted to see what tricks they were trying to pull.
Were they trying to pull tricks on him?
Xie Xuning did not mind playing along with them.
“Enough nonsense. Let’s go now.”
Xie Xuning was not the only one arrested. All of his guards had to follow too. The whole process seemed like a ridiculous farce.
Xie Xuning sat upright at the table like a pine tree that was straight and tall.. His overwhelming presence suppressed the other party completely.
