This problem came as a complete surprise.

The air in the interrogation room seemed to be sucked out at that moment.

Jiang Yi opened his mouth.

His lips were trembling, not from the cold, but from an uncontrollable physiological reaction to extreme fear.

It was Zhao Zhiguo himself who uttered a name.

"Xia Anmian"

He looked at Jiang Yi and then said, "Am I right?"

Jiang Yi raised his head, met Zhao Zhiguo's eyes for a moment, and then quickly lowered his head.

And she gave a soft "hmm".

Zhao Zhiguo did not speak immediately.

He looked at Jiang Yi, his gaze filled with an even stronger, complex, and indescribable emotion.

Do you know why we arrested you?

The sudden change of topic left Jiang Yi stunned.

"Isn't it because I'm involved in a 300 million yuan fraud case? Su Xiaoyue called the police."

However, Zhao Zhiguo shook his head.

"No, Su Xiaoyue didn't call the police. In fact, it was Lao Wang who notified her father."

Jiang Yi was filled with doubts and was very puzzled.

If it wasn't Su Xiaoyue, then who could it be?

Could it be...?

Based on Zhao Zhiguo's previous words, a bold guess appeared in Jiang Yi's mind.

However, Zhao Zhiguo didn't say anything more, but continued to ask, "How much do you know about sleep aids?"

Jiang Yi noticed the words "peace of mind".

This intimate way of addressing him doesn't seem like something you'd just met your girlfriend, Xia Anmian.

Jiang Yi's brain completely shut down at that moment.

"You...know Mianmian?"

Zhao Zhiguo did not answer the question directly.

"You call her Mianmian." There was an ambiguous meaning in his tone, as if he were savoring the weight of those two words. "Did she tell you to call her that?"

Jiang Yi didn't know how to answer this question.

He had been with Xia Anmian for more than two years, and from day one he had called her "Mianmian". He never thought that he needed anyone's permission to use this name.

But now, sitting in this interrogation room, facing a man with a police badge on his epaulets, he suddenly felt that those two words had become very heavy.

"She had a falling out with her family."

When Zhao Zhiguo said this, he didn't look at Jiang Yi. His gaze was fixed on the one-way mirror on the wall, as if he were looking at someone behind a mirror, or as if he were looking at a very distant place. "For you."

Jiang Yi's fingers tightened suddenly.

"Her father arranged numerous blind dates for her with men of similar social standing, but she didn't go to any of them."

Zhao Zhiguo continued, his voice flat, almost devoid of any emotion, but it was precisely this deliberate calmness that made each word sound as if it had been carved from stone.

"Do you know how many things she said against her conscience to her father in order to protect you?"

Gu Qinghan said this.

But the same words carry completely different weight when spoken by a provincial public security chief.

When Gu Qinghan spoke, Jiang Yi felt guilty.

When Zhao Zhiguo spoke, he felt a deeper and heavier sense of oppression.

"Who exactly is Mianmian?"

Jiang Yi's voice was dry, like sandpaper rubbing against glass.

Zhao Zhiguo finally turned his gaze away from the mirror and onto Jiang Yi's face.

He looked at him for a few seconds, then the corners of his mouth curved slightly, a curve that was hard to describe as a smile or something else entirely.

"I've watched her grow up since she was a child. How dare you bully her like this? As her uncle, I naturally have to seek justice for her."

After he finished speaking, he stood up.

"Just think about it here. Anmian will be here tomorrow morning. Figure out how to explain it to her!"

After saying this, Zhao Zhiguo came out of the interrogation room and closed the door.

Jiang Yi was left alone in the dimly lit interrogation room.

……

"Director Zhao."

Upon seeing Zhao Zhiguo emerge, Director Liu quickly took his phone.

"Director, this is your phone."

Zhao Zhiguo answered the phone, while Director Liu tactfully retreated ten meters away.

The call was answered quickly.

"Brother Xia."

He nodded respectfully into the phone.

"Hey, Lao Zhao, have you caught him yet?"

A tired middle-aged voice came from the other end of the phone.

"Brother Xia, we caught him. I just met with him."

"Oh~" the man on the other end of the phone asked, "How did it go?"

Zhao Zhiguo pondered for a moment, then spoke.

"Well, his performance wasn't very good. He seemed quite timid. But considering his family background and the fact that this was probably his first time meeting the director, his behavior is understandable."

"Haha, you're really looking to cause trouble! You went in wearing a police uniform!"

"However, this kid is still kind enough not to betray his sister."

After he finished speaking, a burst of laughter came from the other end of the phone.

"Old Zhao, you've already arrested him? Doesn't he know we already know it was his sister who did it?"

"Yes, that's right. Not only that, I didn't even tell him about Anmian's background. Anmian will arrive tomorrow morning. Let them handle whatever problems they have on their own."

After saying that, Zhao Zhiguo continued, "By the way, what did Elder Xia say?"

There was a moment of silence on the other end.

Then he let out a long sigh.

"I'm not very satisfied. You know, his grandfather likes your son. Doesn't your son have any feelings about this? They were quite close when they were little!"

Over there, Xia Anmian's father had only spoken halfway when Zhao Zhiguo quickly stopped him.

"Hey, hey, don't talk nonsense, don't talk nonsense. My son is a complete waste of time. Anmian doesn't even look at him. Their relationship is at most just kinship."

"Besides, you know your daughter, she's just as stubborn as you. If I dare to say anything more, she won't even acknowledge me as her uncle."

"Hahaha~"

The two exchanged a few more words before hanging up the phone.

I had just hung up the phone when Director Liu arrived.

"Director, what are your orders?"

"Where is my son? Take me to find my son!"

He was going to give some instructions to his foolish son.

That son is incredibly stupid. If he gets swayed into doing something pointless just because of a few words from Old Xia, then we're doomed.

Xia Anmian is a wonderful girl, both as a niece and a daughter!

But if she becomes a daughter-in-law.

That's it...

Meanwhile, things were also a bit off with Zhao Hanting.

"Cousin, what brings you here!"

Zhao Hanting looked at the two girls in front of him, puzzled.

Zhao Hanting and Gu Qinghan are related, and not by far.

He had a pretty good impression of his cousin.

Well, at least she's much better than that Xia Anmian.

Gu Qinghan greeted him with a smile.

"Cousin, there's something you might not know. Recently, a scammer who scammed people through online dating moved in."

"Oh, oh, there is one, and I think he's your best friend's boyfriend!"

However, as soon as Zhao Hanting finished speaking, he felt a fragrant breeze blow by and his hand was covered.

"Haha, cousin, where's the interrogation room? Take us to see it!"

Zhao Hanting suddenly released Gu Qinghan's hand and stared at Gu Qinghan with some doubt.

"You don't need to worry about this. My father took care of it personally. Xia Anmian will be here tomorrow morning. Of course, if you're still worried, I can take you to see her after my father leaves..."

Zhao Hanting kept talking and didn't notice Gu Qinghan's expression at all.

Gu Qinghan felt like she was doomed.

With each additional word Zhao Hanting spoke, Gu Qinghan felt an increasing chill in the air.

"By the way, since you're so concerned, you didn't get scammed by him too, did you?"

Zhao Hanting suddenly looked at Gu Qinghan and then noticed that Gu Qinghan's eyes were constantly glancing towards the door.

Zhao Hanting looked towards the doorway, and without Gu Qinghan blocking his way, he finally saw Su Xiaoyue clearly.

Beautiful, so beautiful!

Why did my cousin bring such a beauty with her?!

And he even winked at me!

Could it be...?

At this moment, his eyes were full of gratitude as he looked at Gu Qinghan. He raised his eyebrows slightly, giving Gu Qinghan a knowing look.

Gu Qinghan felt like her heart was about to die.

She tried to stop him, but it was too late; Zhao Hanting had already reached Su Xiaoyue's side.

"Miss, please come inside. It's so late, and you're still bothering to keep Qinghan company. She really doesn't know how to take care of people!"

As he spoke, Zhao Hanting reached out to pull Su Xiaoyue away.

However, this movement...

pat!

The crisp sound echoed throughout the room.

"Excuse me, beautiful lady, let me help you..."

Before he could finish speaking, Zhao Hanting bent over halfway but froze in mid-air.

What fell wasn't the hair clip he had imagined; it was clearly a fruit knife.

The blade still gleamed with a cold light!
