On a rainy night, the school beauty knocked on my door and asked for shelter

Chapter 21 That Night!
Chen Mo only knew a general idea about Su Yuqing's family affairs.

Because he had to investigate Su Yuqing's case before, he had visited Su Yuqing's parents several times, but he basically didn't get any useful information.

Her parents divorced and each remarried.

Su Yuqing has always lived with her mother.

However, both families were very secretive about Su Yuqing's death, and each seemed to have their own reasons for causing Su Yuqing to meet her end that night.

Whenever Chen Mo went to any company for investigation, he would be impatiently kicked out before he could say a few words.

However, it was normal to be driven away when he went to Su Yuqing's mother's house, because when Chen Mo went there, Su Yuqing's mother had already gone crazy.

She had gone crazy since the first day she knew Su Yuqing was in trouble, and she never recovered. Chen Mo went to find her several times, but could not get anything out of her. Sometimes, if he asked too many questions, she would start yelling, which led to Chen Mo being driven away by Su Yuqing's stepfather.

This made Chen Mo always feel that Su Yuqing had nowhere else to go and came to his house to stay overnight on such a rainy night, which was definitely related to her original family.

Although her parents refused to say much, Chen Mo still managed to find out some information from neighbors and nearby witnesses.

That night, Su Yuqing rushed out of her house in the rain. It was said that she had a conflict with her stepfather and seemed to have stabbed him.

When Chen Mo heard the news, he was quite shocked.

He went back to ask the seniors who investigated the case. They learned the news on the first day of Su Yuqing's accident and also went to find her parents.

But when Su Yuqing's mother and her stepfather were asked, they both denied this statement.

His mother and stepfather were not at home that day but were receiving treatment in the hospital.

According to the investigative report obtained by the police from the hospital, his stepfather and mother said...

The floor at home was too slippery at the time, and his stepfather didn't step firmly and bumped into the fruit knife his mother was using to peel an apple, causing his stepfather to be accidentally stabbed in the abdomen.

So they rushed to the hospital in a hurry.

As for why Su Yuqing ran out of the house in the rain, their answer was that her stepfather seemed to have saved a lot of photos of boys on her mobile phone, so he thought she shouldn't be in a relationship at this age, so he said a few words to her, which eventually led to an argument.

Then Su Yuqing ran out of the house.

According to the time obtained from the investigation, not long after Su Yuqing left home, her stepfather rushed to the hospital with her mother because of the above-mentioned accident.

From the surveillance footage of their admission to the hospital, we can see the time they arrived at the hospital, and Su Yuqing was still alive at that time.

After entering the hospital, they have not left the hospital, so their family members can be ruled out as suspects.

According to the recollections of the police who investigated at the time, after learning of Su Yuqing's death, her stepfather did not react much, but her mother fainted on the spot and went crazy afterwards.

This makes the progress of the case more difficult.

During the ongoing investigation, it was found that after Su Yuqing left her mother's house, she actually went to her father's house.

But she didn't stay at her father's house for long before she went out again.

From the surveillance footage, we can see that Su Yuqing kept her head down the whole time when she came out of her father's house and entered the elevator. She was obviously much more depressed than when she came.

Finally she arrived at someone's home...that person was Chen Mo.

In other words, on such a rainy night, Su Yuqing left the homes of two of her closest relatives one after another.

Finally, they arrived at Chen Mo's house. When Chen Mo found out the news, he realized how much Su Yuqing trusted him and how much courage she mustered to knock on his door when she was soaked and looked so miserable.

When she asked for shelter in her heart, she had already experienced so many shocks that made her despair and collapse.

How hard she tried to muster up the last bit of courage to seek hope, and when she was forced to do so, she used up her last bit of strength to say to herself those words that a girl would be ashamed to say.

In such a desperate situation, not only did he not help her, he even pushed her hard, pushing her completely off the edge of the cliff.

The moment he knew everything, Chen Mo's inner regret was even stronger than when he first learned of Su Yuqing's death.

From that moment on, he wished he could go back to that night and meet her again on the night when Su Yuqing needed care and warmth the most.

The only and last ray of warm light she could find at that time was shed into her already dim world.

Despite this, Chen Mo didn't know whether Su Yuqing ran away from home that night for the reasons his stepfather and mother said, nor did he know what she had experienced in the two families.

He didn't plan to ask any more questions. It was difficult for outsiders to find out about such things.

What he wanted to do and was able to do... was to at least let Su Yuqing find a safe haven with him and get some comfort and care no matter what the situation was.

Taking the tea Zhou Hao sent as afternoon tea, the two of them spent the afternoon enjoying the pastries.

As time passed, dusk gradually spread through the gauze curtains into the living room. Su Yuqing curled up in the corner of the sofa, flipping through the pages of a book. The warm light outlined her thin figure.

When Chen Mo approached with hot milk, he caught a glimpse of her unconsciously rubbing the inside of her left wrist - there was a light pink scar there, shaped like a crescent moon.

"Try it, it has honey in it." He calmly placed the glass in her palm, and the warmth just warmed her cold fingertips.

Su Yuqing was about to thank him when she suddenly remembered Chen Mo's previous "forbidden rule". She pursed her lips and swallowed the words, her eyelashes trembling as she took a sip.

Amidst the aroma of milk, Chen Mo noticed that Su Yuqing was actually reading the Book of Changes. This was the kind of book only his father liked to read, and he only had it here to make it look like a bookshelf.

"Why, do you want to be a fortune teller?" Chen Mo said with a smile.

"Yes, when I learn it, I will help you calculate it?" Su Yuqing smiled playfully.

In fact, the book Zhouyi is not just about reading hexagrams and asking questions, you can also learn a lot from it.

As the two were talking, the sudden sound of a car braking outside the window broke the silence.

Su Yuqing's back suddenly stiffened, and the milk almost spilled.

Chen Mo quickly held her trembling hand and came to the window. Soon the car drove away and nothing happened.

Chen Mo glanced at Su Yuqing's appearance, walked to her side with pity, gently held her hand and said: "Don't worry, you still owe me a debt. Before you pay it off, no one can take you away."

Su Yuqing, who had just been frightened and was still feeling nervous, heard these words and her heartbeat not only did not calm down, but it beat even faster.

But the expression on her face was a smile.

"Once you learn it, let's figure out whether we're compatible next time. I'm afraid you'll be unlucky with me, your creditor." Chen Mo said with a smile.

In fact, Chen Mo had already known the fate of the two people. Even if they were incompatible, he had his own explanation.
