Tang Yan Yi listened for a while and laughed, "Zhou Ping, you know, I can clearly hear your fear and anger from your story. Fear is not a problem, but anger is worth discussing. Perhaps you feel angry because we’ve listed you as a suspect and asked you to come for a statement."
"But you know, if your anger isn’t handled well, it could very likely become evidence against you. Because anger obstructs the sincerity of your story, allowing us to find more doubts in your narrative."
As she spoke, Tang Yan Yi pushed the water over, "Have some water, calm down. Trust me: fully opening up is the best way to clear your suspicion and resolve your anger. Otherwise, you’ll ruin yourself."
Spicy Girl indeed quieted down, hesitated but still obediently grabbed the cup and drank water.
A few minutes later, when she resumed her story, her tone had calmed down, and the rebellious anger was gone.
"Miss Tang certainly is an expert." Shi Nian turned his gaze to look at Tang Yanqing.
"Are you scared?" He arrogantly raised his eyebrows, clearly provocative.
Shi Nian slyly smiled, "Why would I be afraid? With such amazing officers protecting us, citizens like us can live peacefully. I’m only too happy."
"Hmph~" He also indulgently chuckled and let it go. ᴛʜɪs ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀ ɪs ᴜᴘᴅᴀᴛᴇ ʙʏ novel⟡fire.net
Spicy Girl began to calmly narrate to Tang Yan Yi the reason for the conflict she had with Sean that night, and the beginning and end of her relationship with Sean.
When she finished, she lowered her head, "The kind of relationship between us is ultimately not a normal romantic relationship. So neither he nor I have ever been serious about it, knowing it would definitely end sooner or later."
"But even so, he still wanted to control me, limiting my social interactions, especially with the opposite sex. I was unhappy about this, so our relationship was actually distant. Yet, I didn’t expect such a thing to happen tonight..."
Shi Nian slightly squinted his eyes, remembering the day when Spicy Girl saw her talking alone with Sean and came in looking displeased.
She said Sean restricted her, but in fact, she also restricted Sean.
Shi Nian suddenly turned to glance at Tang Yanqing.
Tang Yanqing embraced his arms and looked sideways, "You have something to say. Just say it."
Shi Nian’s face flushed slightly, "Could you ask Miss Tang to inquire about the relationship between Spicy Girl and Sean... um, I mean sexually, whether it harmonizes?"
Tang Yanqing slightly raised an eyebrow. Shi Nian awkwardly quickly lowered her head, "Please."
Tang Yanqing then called Guan Liang, asking him to go in and speak with Tang Yan Yi. Guan Liang called Tang Yan Yi at the door, and she seemed a bit surprised, sitting quietly for a while after returning before suddenly raising her eyes to look over at the one-sided coated glass.
Shi Nian knew clearly that from that side, one couldn’t see through to her side, but she couldn’t explain why, just instinctively felt Tang Yan Yi’s gaze pierced through the glass, landing directly on her.
Did Tang Yan Yi think of something because of this little interlude?
However, Tang Yan Yi immediately posed the question. Spicy Girl was shocked instantly, but with prior reminders, she deeply inhaled and calmed down.
Embarrassed, she nodded vigorously, "That’s right, in this aspect... we do have some issues. The problem is with Sean, he— sometimes doesn’t work."
Even Tang Yanqing chuckled silently and turned to her, "How did you think of that?"
Shi Nian blushed slightly, "There’s a detail you didn’t know, so it’s not surprising you didn’t think of it." Shi Nian then told him about the previous event. "I don’t quite understand, it’s easy to see how Sean could restrict her since Sean is in an advantageous position; but how can Spicy Girl restrict Sean?"
She looked up at him, "I originally thought it was true love. A man is always apprehensive about a woman he truly loves. But listening to Spicy Girl’s story just now, there really isn’t love between the two... Then Spicy Girl must know some shortcoming of Sean’s, something he doesn’t want others to know."
Tang Yanqing asked, "Could it be that Sean is worried Spicy Girl might reveal their relationship, affecting his work?"
Shi Nian quickly shook her head, "No. Given his understanding of Spicy Girl, he should know she doesn’t dare to do this. Because once she does, the first thing she’ll ruin is her academics. Coming here for studies, Spicy Girl has paid too high a price, she wouldn’t consider destroying it all for a Sean."
Tang Yanqing then laughed, "So you thought of sexual disharmony. This is indeed something only a girlfriend would know, and it’s the most unspeakable secret a man wants to keep hidden."
