Zhan Ruoxuan really wanted to see how thick this woman's skin was.
Was it not enough that it was so obviously wrong?
"Then what do you want?"
"Just say that you and Lü Qingqing are boyfriend and girlfriend. You have a very close relationship. Yesterday at noon, you were still hugging and kissing. If you had poison on you, she would have discovered it long ago."
Hmph!
Zhan Ruoxuan looked at Tong Meng as if he were an idiot. "Isn't it just saying that a woman has touched my entire body? Why must it be Lü Qingqing? Wouldn't it be better to say it was you? Look at your figure, look at your slender hands, it's even more convincing."
"Slap..." Without warning, Tong Meng slapped Zhan Ruoxuan.
"Then you can starve," she said, throwing the pancake in her hand to the ground and stomping on it twice, still not satisfied.
As the door was slammed shut, Zhan Ruoxuan's gaze turned cold. He gently touched his face, where the humiliation from Tong Meng still lingered.
He would remember tonight's incident!
...
The case had a new direction, and Lü Qingqing was also very happy, her steps light on the way home.
"Your relationship with him is quite good?" Hu Jia asked.
"It's okay. After all, we work and study together. He was the first person I met after coming to the city," Lü Qingqing said with a smile.
"Earlier than I met you?"
"Yes. A little earlier."
"Oh."
Hu Jia fell silent.
"What's wrong?" Lü Qingqing found Hu Jia's question a bit strange.
"Nothing," Hu Jia shook his head.
After they walked a few more steps, Hu Jia suddenly said, "He doesn't know about our relationship yet, does he? We should tell him."
Hmm?
Lü Qingqing blinked. "I just want to keep a low profile."
Joking aside, telling others a fake piece of news? What else could she do?
Seeing that Lü Qingqing did not agree, Hu Jia's brows unconsciously furrowed: It seems my fiancée is a bit silly.
...
The next day, Lü Qingqing went to school.
Before long, Zhan Ruoxuan appeared at the classroom door.
He was released?
Lü Qingqing was overjoyed, which meant Zhan Ruoxuan was completely cleared of suspicion.
As soon as she thought of this, Lü Qingqing quickly looked around. As expected, Yu Xiaohui and the others were nowhere to be seen.
It seemed that the pumpkin cake really had a problem.
"Ruoxuan..." Lü Qingqing waved at him vigorously.
Zhan Ruoxuan looked at Lü Qingqing, a smile tugging at the corner of his lips, then found a seat in the front row and sat down.
Uh...
Lü Qingqing was stunned. What was going on? They usually sat together in class, but today he actually went to the front row.
"Hey, what's up? Such happy news that you're out, why don't you come and chat with your sister?" Lü Qingqing went straight to Zhan Ruoxuan.
"Yeah, nothing much." Zhan Ruoxuan still kept his head down, looking like he was organizing his books.
"Go sit in the back." Lü Qingqing patted his shoulder and tossed her head back, with an impatient expression.
"I want to sit in the front today."
"Sit in the front?"
Lü Qingqing was speechless. Spending a night in the interrogation room, how could it change a person's personality?
When had Zhan Ruoxuan ever sat in the front?
"Yes." Zhan Ruoxuan nodded. "Sitting in the front helps me hear more clearly and copy notes faster."
Lü Qingqing felt like she had heard something incredible. She opened her mouth wide, her eyes wide. When had this guy become so studious?
Seeing that she couldn't move Zhan Ruoxuan, Lü Qingqing had no choice but to return to her own seat.
She vaguely felt that Zhan Ruoxuan had something on his mind, perhaps he was scared by what happened last night.
And Yu Xiaohui, she had actually been ruthless towards Huang Yuan. She didn't know what kind of hatred or grievance it was.
Thinking back to the day they were moving equipment, Lü Qingqing had publicly chided Tong Hua, mentioning that Yu Xiaohui was kind and liked to serve food to her classmates.
Now it seemed, that was not food, but poison!
Just as Lü Qingqing's thoughts were flying everywhere, three elegant figures appeared at the classroom door.
Uh...
Lü Qingqing was so shocked her mouth fell open.
It was Yu Xiaohui and the other two.
Why were they out? Weren't they supposed to be arrested?
Could it be that they were not the culprits? If they were not the culprits, then why was Zhan Ruoxuan released?
Lü Qingqing was confused.
"What? Surprised? You framed us to help your little lover get acquitted. Is that fun?" Yu Xiaohui walked up to Lü Qingqing, her eyes burning with anger and contempt.
As soon as Lü Qingqing heard this, she understood that the other party already knew it was her who mentioned the pumpkin cake.
However, what was "little lover"?
Lü Qingqing subconsciously glanced at Zhan Ruoxuan. He was still burying his head in his books, showing no reaction.
"I think you know very well that as a police officer, I don't let go of any doubts. Moreover, I am just telling you what I saw truthfully." Lü Qingqing certainly did not want to be misunderstood like this.
"What you saw? Did you see several people eat the pumpkin cake? Did they also have problems?" Yu Xiaohui was still angry.
The sound of their argument quickly attracted the attention of the classmates.
"I know you're angry about the clues I provided, and that's human nature. But I want to ask, if you were an ordinary citizen, wouldn't you have an obligation to provide the police with what you saw and heard?"
"If you were a police officer, wouldn't you have the responsibility to analyze and investigate every doubtful point?"
"If you interpret providing clues to the police as acting against your own people, then I ask, when you step into your position in the future and have to handle complex cases, would you prefer the interviewees to be tight-lipped with you, or to be completely open with you?"
Lü Qingqing's three consecutive questions made Yu Xiaohui's face turn ashen. "You speak so righteously, aren't you just trying to save your wild man?"
"Slap!" Lü Qingqing slammed the table and stood up. "I provided clues to the police because it is the right and obligation of a citizen. I have doubts about the case because it is the responsibility of a police officer. And you? You keep calling him a wild man, who is this wild man? What evidence do you have that I have a wild man by my side? Based on your unfounded speculation? Or based on your inability to correctly understand the accurate meanings of the words 'rights,' 'obligations,' and 'responsibilities'?"
Obviously, Lü Qingqing's attitude further angered Yu Xiaohui. "How dare you say Zhan Ruoxuan is not your wild man? You go arm in arm every day, eat together, study together, and even take a walk on the playground together. Who knows if you've done anything illicit."
"Yu Xiaohui!" This time it was not Lü Qingqing who roared, but Zhan Ruoxuan, who had been silent all along. "I was locked up for a night just because of someone's words. According to you, should I point at others and curse? You are a police officer yourself, don't you know how important it is for eyewitnesses to provide clues?"
The classmates present also understood the reason for the dispute between Yu Xiaohui and Lü Qingqing. They all advised Yu Xiaohui to let it go.
After all, Lü Qingqing had not done anything wrong in this matter.
