Captain Lu was aloof again today.

Chapter 163 Ye Chen
After saying that, she reached out and opened the door, throwing Wei Qingsong a flirtatious kiss before leaving.

Watching her slender and beautiful figure disappear from sight, Wei Qingsong couldn't help but frown, his eyes filled with a complex expression.

She never intended to be friends with Alice; she had always considered her a business partner, someone with whom she could achieve mutual benefit and win-win outcomes—nothing more.

Once the disastrous events are completely over, she will not hesitate to immediately sever ties with Alice.

After all, there was a huge difference in their social status.

One day, she will return to a peaceful and normal life and will no longer have any connection with Interpol.

However, people inevitably succumb to gentleness and passion, and she was no exception.

Every time she saw Alice, she was always in a bad mood, but Alice would patiently try to be nice to her again and again.

This troubled her greatly.

Because Alice is so wonderful, she simply can't be cold.

It's such a troublesome and complicated society of interpersonal relationships.

Why are humans such emotional beings?

Wei Qingsong pressed his temples, composed himself, turned around, walked to the table, sat down, turned on the computer, and quickly browsed through the pages.

On the computer screen was the information about Ye Chen that Alice had sent her earlier.

She never had a good feeling about Ye Chen.

He first came into her life with the case of the headless female corpse.

At that time, she had just returned to China and was working with Lu Jingming to solve a case for the first time. She didn't pay much attention to Ye Chen at first, but the only thing that impressed her was the Patek Philippe watch on his wrist.

That watch was once sold for 1.1 million at an auction in Country S.

I just don't know how it ended up in Ye Chen's hands.

At that time, Wei Qingsong was only a little curious about him, until he said something that almost made her lose control of her expression.

After that, he frequently "coincidentally" appeared where she was.

Although she has no evidence to prove that he did all of this on purpose, she is very clear that Ye Chen's approach must have been for some ulterior motive.

As things stand, she cannot yet make a definitive judgment as to whether Ye Chen is a friend or foe.

But what was his purpose in deliberately getting close to him?
She couldn't figure it out.

But she was certain that Ye Chen was definitely not simple.

He knew about the evil consequences that occurred six years ago, and he also knew the role she played in it. Ye Chen was obviously aware of the murder case that happened in the back alley of Nanxun Street back then.

Whether it was because she had been hypnotized and it affected her memory, or because Ye Chen was just an insignificant character in the story, she had absolutely no recollection of Ye Chen.

If he were one of the escaped members of Evil Fruit, wanting to take revenge on her, the "sinner" who single-handedly destroyed Evil Fruit, then he could have simply concealed his identity from the beginning to avoid alerting her. He didn't need to keep saying ambiguous things, which only aroused her suspicion.

When she first asked Alice to help investigate Ye Chen's identity, she thought that Ye Chen might be related to the evil consequences, but she soon realized that there was a logical paradox in this.

Do such brainless people really exist in this world?
To get revenge on someone, you must first arouse their suspicion and make them secretly on guard.

She couldn't believe that Ye Chen was unaware that his words and actions could easily lead to endless speculation.

Or perhaps Ye Chen wanted to create this panic, to disturb her peace of mind, and to make her uneasy.

However, if Ye Chen really knew what happened back then, then he should know very well that breaking through Wei Qingsong's psychological defenses would not be an easy task.

His actions were completely meaningless.

If we have to explain all of Ye Chen's actions, then the only explanation is that he did it on purpose.

He deliberately approached her, saying ambiguous things to get her attention.

But why is that? What benefit would he gain from doing this, and what results would he achieve?
Furthermore, Ye Chen's file has also been tampered with, just like hers when she participated in the witness protection program. Her real name, identity, and all her past have been erased.

Perhaps his name isn't Ye Chen at all. Then who is he?

Perpetrator, victim, police officer from that time...

There are too many people involved, and too many possibilities.

What exactly is Ye Chen trying to do?
This series of questions swirled in her mind, disrupting her thoughts.

Wei Qingsong thought for a long time, but still couldn't figure it out.

I might as well stop thinking about it. Since I can't figure it out no matter how hard I try, I might as well not waste my time.

She planned to focus all her energy on dealing with the Yan family.

In short, regardless of Ye Chen's true identity, he is a ticking time bomb to her right now.

She didn't want to cause unnecessary trouble because of her momentary negligence, so before confirming Ye Chen's identity, she decided to leave him alone for the time being.

After all this time, Ye Chen hasn't stirred up any trouble.

She needs more time to observe carefully.

Currently, Alice is leaving Tangzhou, and the investigation into the Muan Agency has to be suspended.

This is good, as it allows her to fully concentrate on her first confrontation with the Yan family.

Thinking of this, Wei Qingsong's lips curled into a determined smile.

At dawn, the rising sun shines on the earth, dispelling the darkness of the night.

Wei Qingsong didn't sleep well all night.

She can't help but let her mind wander whenever she closes her eyes.

Yan Jiqian's cold, selfish, and hypocritical face lingered in his mind, twisting and refusing to leave.

She knew very well that Yan Jiqian was a cunning and treacherous old fox, so she had to be cautious and careful in this confrontation and could not be careless in the slightest.

Wei Qingsong took a deep breath and got out of bed.

Her mind is filled with too many distracting thoughts, and she can't calm down in a short time. She needs to calm down.

I went to the washroom and splashed my face with cold water, which made me feel a little more awake.

She looked up at her reflection in the mirror.

Those brown eyes were exactly the same as Yan Jiqian's.

Wei Qingsong stared silently for a long time, her eyes flashing with inexplicable emotions.

It took quite a bit of time to wash up and get dressed.

As soon as Wei Qingsong stepped out of the building, she saw a car parked on the side of the road with the door half open. A man in a gray trench coat was standing outside the car, facing the morning sun.

His handsome face shone brightly in the sunlight.

She involuntarily paused, looked up at the man, and a faint smile appeared on her lips: "Good morning."

"Good morning, Songsong." Lu Jingming's voice was deep and mellow, as melodious as a cello. "Did you sleep well last night?"

Wei Qingsong pursed her red lips, nodded slightly, and responded softly.

Before going out, she deliberately used a thick layer of concealer to cover her dark circles and also wore colored contact lenses, making her eyes look bright and alert, without showing any signs of fatigue.

She thought for a moment and then asked, "Have you been waiting for a long time? Why didn't you call to urge me so I could hurry up?"

“I just arrived recently too.” Lu Jingming stretched his stiff legs and smiled slightly. “I know you’ve been working hard lately, and I didn’t want to disturb your rest, and besides…”

He paused, his smile deepening: "Songsong, I'm not afraid to wait."
