Is Chapter 198 because of jealousy?

"Huh?" Xiao Tao looked even more puzzled, staring blankly at his boss, completely unaware of why he had suddenly become so inexplicable.

"No, no need, is that alright?" Xiao Tao said.

Zhou Zhinan frowned slightly. Just then, Xu Yang walked over and, noticing their strange expressions, casually asked, "What's wrong?"

Xiao Tao turned her head to look at Xu Yang, feeling utterly bewildered!
Is the boss trying to set them up?

If anyone else had said this, Xiao Tao wouldn't have found it strange, but didn't the boss never get involved in this kind of thing?

Moreover, with such heavy pressure from the case right now, is this the time to talk about these things?

Zhou Zhinan also looked at Xu Yang and said again, "Xiao Tao will be going back later, you take her home."

Xu Yang raised an eyebrow, a smile playing on his lips, but he managed to suppress it. "Shall I take Xiao Tao home?"

"Isn't it a bit much to be so busy right now?"

Xu Yang was willing, of course, but he also considered that with the case under so much pressure and everyone so busy, would it have a bad influence if he secretly engaged in ambiguous behavior?

Zhou Zhinan couldn't directly tell them that Zhou Xiaohua could foresee the future and knew that Xiao Tao was in danger.

But after meeting Lin Feng today, he, who had originally suspected Lin Feng, decided to use him as an excuse.

Zhou Zhinan said, "I think Lin Feng is very strange, especially when we left in the afternoon, I felt that he was staring at Xiao Tao."

Upon hearing this, Xu Yang's barely concealed smile vanished instantly, and even Xiao Tao's expression turned serious.

Xu Yang frowned, his expression filled with worry. "Does Lin Feng intend to harm Xiao Tao?"

Zhou Zhinan did not answer the question, but only told Xu Yang, "You stay with Xiao Tao for now, and we'll talk about it after this is over."

Xiao Tao remained silent for a long while before asking, full of confusion, "No, why did Lin Feng attack me?"

"And are these two cases really related to Lin Feng?"

Xiao Tao was very puzzled. So far, the only connection between the two cases and Lin Feng was that they had both taken artistic photos with Lin Feng. There were no other suspicious points.

“It’s just my gut feeling,” Zhou Zhinan said.

Xu Yang tugged at Xiao Tao's hand and said in a low voice, "Just listen to the boss."

Xu Yang trusted Zhou Zhinan, especially since this matter involved someone he liked, so he was naturally even more cautious.

It's good if there are no problems, but what if there are?

He can't afford the consequences of the problem!
at night.

Xu Yang drove Xiao Tao home. The two of them were very cautious along the way, always paying attention to their surroundings. Xu Yang, in particular, seemed to notice every person and every car that passed by.

Xiao Tao, on the other hand, was thinking more about Lin Feng and why he would do this to her.

She and Lin Feng had never crossed paths before, and there was no enmity or grudge between them, so what was Lin Feng's motive for attacking her?
After thinking it over and over, Xiao Tao still couldn't figure it out, and she couldn't help but feel a little irritated.

With her almost home, Xiao Tao took a deep breath to calm herself down.

Xu Yang glanced at Xiao Tao, hesitating and unsure how to begin.

Xiao Tao casually turned her head and saw his hesitant expression, so she asked directly, "What do you want to say?"

Xu Yang finally couldn't hold back any longer and asked in a deep voice, "Can I stay at your place tonight?"

Xiao Tao glared at Xu Yang, looking at him with an expression that seemed to say, "Are you trying to rebel?"

Xu Yang said helplessly, "I'm worried about your safety!" Xiao Tao wanted to ask, "What danger could I possibly be in?"
The boss told her to be careful, so if she said that, wouldn't that mean she didn't trust him at all?
But Xiao Tao genuinely felt that Lin Feng's intention to harm her was a bit too much.
I don't know how to put it, it's just a bit strange.

Xu Yang said to himself, "Don't worry, I'll just stay in the living room."

Xiao Tao rolled her eyes. "Otherwise what?"

Xu Yang turned his head to look at her, "So you agreed?"

Xiao Tao opened her mouth, but for a moment she couldn't say anything.

Xu Yang stayed. Xiao Tao's house had extra guest rooms, but they weren't cleaned up and couldn't be used for sleeping. Xiao Tao wanted to tidy them up, but Xu Yang refused.

With so little time, we should take a quick rest.

Xu Yang ended up sleeping on the living room sofa, but perhaps because he had taken the spot where Ying Pu usually slept, Xu Yang was woken up several times by Ying Pu stepping on him. (Ying Pu is Xiao Tao's blue cat.)

The next day.

Xu Yang and Xiao Tao arrived at the office early.

However, when they arrived early, they found Zhou Zhinan already busy in the office.

Xiao Tao was a little surprised, "Boss, why are you up so early?"

Zhou Zhinan responded casually, "It's alright."

Xiao Tao walked over and handed the bag in her hand to the man. "Would you like breakfast?"

Zhou Zhinan accepted the bag without hesitation. He didn't say that he hadn't slept all night, having been searching for videos about Lin Feng.

Fortunately, his efforts paid off, and he found some clues.

Zhou Zhinan sent a file to their group chat, and Xiao Tao and Xu Yang's phones rang one after another. Zhou Zhinan said, "Take a look."

The two immediately understood and quickly took out their phones to check the information.

"The art photography studio was originally run by Lin Feng and his girlfriend Liu Jing. Liu Jing was also a model, and Lin Feng was in charge of taking the photos."

"At that time, Liu Jing was still doing part-time jobs in other places. Whenever there was a filming project that asked her to participate, she would go."

"But in December of last year, Liu Jing had an accident during a shoot."

Xiao Tao and Xu Yang listened quietly until the word "accident" reached their ears, at which point they turned to look at Zhou Zhinan, their eyes filled with surprise.

Zhou Zhinan said in a deep voice, "Liu Jing was disfigured during that filming."

"Extensive disfigurement all over his body."

Xiao Tao was stunned. She opened her mouth as if she wanted to say something, but for a moment she couldn't find the right words.

After a long silence, Xu Yang said haltingly, "So, boss, you suspect that this matter might be related to Liu Jing?"

"This is just my guess at the moment." Sometimes, after handling a lot of cases, you can always piece together a reason for yourself.

Zhou Zhinan had no solid evidence, but he knew that someone wanted to harm Xiao Tao, so he pieced together a story by combining these clues.

"But Liu Jing is disfigured, what's the point of killing her?" Xu Yang didn't understand at all.

Xiao Tao, who had been stunned and hadn't reacted yet, suddenly said in a sinister tone, "Is it because of jealousy?"
