Chapter 669: Do You Have So Little Confidence in Your Man?
“Is there something you want to tell me?”
Although Tang Yan couldn’t tell precisely what Feng Shanshan wanted, he had a strong feeling that she had something in mind.
When she had a request, she would always put on a smiling face.
But what he didn’t know was that Feng Shanshan and Mu Qiqi were very similar when it came to this.
Feng Shanshan lowered her head and drew circles on his muscular chest. “Aren’t you the champion of kickboxing? You are strong and skillful. Teach me some self-defense tactics. I don’t want to lose to Mu Qiqi.”
“You can’t learn this overnight. Mastering these take years of hard work. Are you sure you can do it?”
“Mu Qiqi can. Why can’t I?”
Tang Yan looked at her for a while and finally said, “Okay. I’ll modify the bedroom next door into a training room for you to practice martial arts.”
“You always pretend to be distant with me in the police station that I can’t get a single bit of privilege. So, I want you to teach me martial arts personally. This should be counted as a sign that I am special in your heart, right?”
“Yes.”
It was rare that Tang Yan actually spoke nicely to her, so Feng Shanshan was very satisfied. This happened most probably because of their previous deep conversation. Feng Shanshan was a person who was easily satisfied. At least now she no longer had a second-generation rich guy as her boyfriend, but a captain in the police force instead. This should prove that she had matured, right?
...
Tonight, the one who had complicated emotions was Mu Qiqi.
Although she felt satisfied when she saw the sad ending of Ye Jingcheng, she felt uneasy at the same time. Because all these happened to her sister. They were twins after all. When Mu Tangxue felt discouraged, it was only normal that she could somehow feel it too.
After Sheng Xiao had taken his shower, he walked out of the bathroom.
Seeing the little one sitting on the bed in a daze, he approached her and embraced her. “I don’t remember having taught you to be so sentimental before.”
“Your wife has a lot of affection. She learns it herself.”
“You only have a few vacation days left, right?” Sheng Xiao suddenly reminded her.
“I wish I could graduate early.” Mu Qiqi was feeling a little annoyed. “Then at least I’ll be able to focus on solving cases and I won’t have to divide my time for school and work at the same time.”
“Quite true. The school can’t teach you everything.”
Mu Qiqi raised her head and looked at Sheng Xiao in confusion, but Sheng Xiao was already leaning forward in a charming manner, closing on the tip of her nose. “For instance, the love between a man and a woman.”
“Bah...”
“Remember Third Brother asking me if you were the one in charge at home, and he said something else?”
Mu Qiqi thought for a while and her face flushed.
“Why don’t we try it tonight?”
Seven went on top of eight...
This shouldn’t be a problem. Mu Qiqi’s only concern was that her waist might not be strong enough.
...
The next day, Mu Qiqi was still drowsy when she heard the phone ring.
Sheng Xiao had wanted her many times the night before, so he picked up the phone for her and went to the window to answer it. He wanted to let her sleep for a bit longer, but it seemed unlikely.
“Another mass suicide happened in a high-end community in the city last night.”
Hearing this, Mu Qiqi opened her eyes wide and sat up straight. “Huh?”
“Wash up and have some breakfast. I’ll send you to the crime scene.”
Who would remember the situation of Young Master Ye lying in a pool of blood yesterday? It became a past event just like that. Mu Qiqi believed that Mu Tangxue’s disappearance would mean that Ye Jingcheng would not do anything again.
Because he couldn’t afford to get hurt.
Soon, Sheng Xiao sent Mu Qiqi to the high-end community. Another four people had died, but the way they died was different from the previous four.
Since Tang Yan and a few of his men arrived first, they had a better understanding of the case.
Seeing Sheng Xiao’s car, he took off his gloves and came forward.
“I haven’t officially introduced myself to you, Chief Sheng. I’m Tang Yan.”
Sheng Xiao tilted his head and glanced at Tang Yan from the driver’s seat and stretched out his hand. “I’ve heard a lot about you.”
“If you have time, we can have a good chat. Among the people who died today, there’s a Zhongteng employee.”
Sheng Xiao’s eyes darkened, and he raised his head with a dangerous look.
“Just tell me when you need Zhongteng’s assistance. And one thing, please take care of my peeple.”
“Who can compare to your power in Jianchuan?”
Tang Yan sounded a bit sarcastic, but Sheng Xiao didn’t mind.
“Still, my employee died. Ask my secretary if there’s any problem. Zhongteng will cooperate.”
After saying that, Sheng Xiao glanced at Mu Qiqi. That heartless thing didn’t look back at all. With that, Sheng Xiao reversed his car and left the area.
Sheng Xiao knew Tang Yan was not a layman just by looking at his eyes. He had stories.
If he could ensure the little one’s safety, Sheng Xiao would gladly maintain a friendly relationship with him.
...
At the moment, Mu Qiqi was having a headache at the crime scene. She didn’t expect there to be an employee of Zhongteng. This would cause rumors once the news was spread.
Previously, the other police station closed the case as a suicide, ignoring the suspicions of Tang Yan and his team totally. Now that people had died again, the matter was not going to be settled easily. Someone must come forward and take the responsibility. So, were the criminal investigation team going to take it this time?
“Similarly to the previous case, all the deceased are males aged between eighteen to twenty. They died almost at the same time. One of them had his throat cut, one took poison, one was strangled to death, and another one was stabbed. Judging from the preliminary examination of the crime scene, there was no trace of other people. So, we can rule out the possibility of homicide.
“These kids committed suicide, like the last case. They’re so young. Why did they do it? And one more thing, one kid has a special identity. He has just passed the probation period and has become a permanent employee of Zhongteng. As for the rest, we will have to investigate more carefully and thoroughly. Are we going to close the case as suicide again?” The professor raised his head and asked Tang Yan.
“I’ll report the case and apply to close the case from the chief.” Tang Yan left the crime scene with his phone. His tone was somehow sarcastic.
Mu Qiqi looked at the young kids and felt sad. She hoped that Zhongteng wouldn’t be dragged into this trouble.
This was a murder case.
“The chief didn’t let us investigate the last time. And now great, no one wants to take over this hot potato now. So, we can only take charge of it. Had he allowed us to investigate sooner, the case might have already been solved.” Feng Shanshan complained on behalf of her man.
Mu Qiqi looked at her silently.
“Are you worrying about Zhongteng?”
Mu Qiqi nodded and felt very uneasy.
“What can an employee of Zhongteng mean? Besides, how do you think Sheng Xiao uses his brain? He’s not someone who can be easily slandered by some weaklings. Do you have so little confidence in your man?”
“Xiaoxiao might appear like a heartless person who can do anything, but he never does these dirty things. He’s an honest and clean man.”
