novelThe Truth Of The Matter
| ← Ch.213 | Ch.215 → |
"Boss!" Li Xiang angrily tugged at Xia Luobing's arm, "I can't agree!"
Ever since Director Zhang took office, she had always been displeased with Xia Luobing. Not only had she been removed from her position as the captain of the Criminal Police Unit, she had always been assigned the most difficult cases to her. Now, she had even asked a grand criminal police officer to be a personal bodyguard of a businessman.
It was too much!
"Li Xiang, if you don't want to do it, then take off this police uniform and leave immediately!" Director Zhang was so angry that his entire body trembled. He turned around and stared at Xia Luobing, "What do you think?"
Xia Luobing tugged at Li Xiang and said to Director Zhang, "I have no objection."
"Pa!"
After the meeting ended, Li Xiang heavily threw the folder in his hand onto the table and circled around angrily. He scratched his hair with his fingers and said irritably, "Boss, I'm quitting. It's too damn aggrieved!"
Ever since this Zhang took office, the group of people left behind by Director Gao had been thoroughly troubled.
"Nonsense!" Xia Luobing glared at Li Xiang and flipped through the information in her hand."Director Zhang's arrangement is reasonable. I have no objections."
According to Lin Chen's speculation, Nan Qi left alone to assassinate Ai Dasheng. If she stayed by Ai Dasheng's side, she could also stop Nan Qi's actions.
She didn't want any more blood on his hands.
She wanted to take him to the hospital and do everything in her power to prolong his life.
Seeing that Xia Luobing was dazed, Li Xiang probed, "Boss, are you alright?"
According to Xia Luobing's hot temper, shouldn't he be throwing himself at the table at this time? How could he be calmer than him now?
"Prepare according to Director Zhang's arrangements." Xia Luobing instructed, "Also, help me investigate a tragedy that occurred ten years ago in C Town."
Li Xiang was puzzled, "Ten years ago? Why did you suddenly want to investigate this case? Is it related to Ai Dasheng and me?"
"How can there be so much nonsense!" Xia Luobing rolled her eyes at Li Xiang and said, "If I let you go, hurry up!"
Li Xiang shrugged, "Alright, I'll be right there."
In the evening, Charlotte brought the information Li Xiang found to Gao Yi'an's house. Lin Chen was telling stories to Duo Duo.
"Duoduo, Uncle Gao will take you to see the stars." Gao Yi'an knew that Xia Luobing had something to discuss with Lin Chen alone, so he reached out to take Duo Duo into his arms and carried the little fellow out.
Lin Chen put away the fairy tale book on the bed and smiled at Charlotte.
He was clearly plotted by Nan Qi. Gao Yi stared at him 24 hours a day. He had no chance to go out and find Nan Qi.
"Take a look at this first." Xia Luobing handed the file to Lin Chen and said, "Let's talk after reading it."
Lin Chen took the file doubtfully and opened it. When he saw the information inside, his face turned pale. He looked up at Xia Luobing and said in a trembling voice, "This is..."
There were photographs of the tragedy in the file. Ten years had passed, and the photos were a little yellow. However, one could still see that the white marble floor was dyed red with blood, and there were corpses lying on the ground beside them.
The atmosphere in the room suddenly became very solemn. Lin Chen silently closed the file and found his voice after a while."Did you see the results of the investigation?"
Charlotte nodded, "Yes."
"He said that the murderer was seeking revenge. After killing, he jumped into the river and committed suicide!" "How could a single person kill dozens of people? Don't you think it's ridiculous?" Lin Chen mocked.
"Absurd." Xia Luobing said in a deep voice. He put the file into her bag and suddenly stared at Lin Chen."You've never killed anyone. It's all done by Nan Qi."
Lin Chen looked at Xia Luobing in surprise, his lips trembling, "It's me and Nan Qi together."
Xia Luobing looked at the vast starry sky outside the window and said faintly, "Before Nan Qi decided to do this, he already knew that he would not be able to live long, so he wanted to accomplish these things alone."
He wanted Lin Chen to continue living as a normal person in the bright sunshine, carrying the hope of the two of them to extend the lifelines of the two families.
"I did it with Nan Qi!" Lin Chen was anxious. The veins on his forehead tensed up and his fingers tightly gripped the quilt on the bed."Charlotte, you'd better investigate it clearly before making a judgment!"
How could he let Nan Qi Yi bear the blood feud between the two families?
Even if he wasn't long dead, he couldn't!
"You're right, I will investigate it clearly." Xia Luobing looked at Lin Chen and said slowly, "Don't disappoint Nan Qi."
He must be very happy to see his good brother live to his liking.
Lin Chen's lips trembled, and his face, which had always been as warm as jade, seemed to have aged a lot.
"The first time we killed someone, we were all very nervous. At that time, he stopped me from making a move and said that he would leave the next one to me." Lin Chen sank into his memories of the past and groaned deeply, "But the second, the third... He always said that he would leave the next one to me."
The last one was Ai Dasheng, and he went on his own.
"According to the arrangements made by the police, I will protect Ai Dasheng during this period of time." Xia Luobing said in a low voice, "I will send Nan Qi to the hospital for treatment."
After saying this, Charlotte clenched her fingers and said in a deep voice, "I will also make the truth of the case from ten years ago clear."
Lin Chen nodded and looked at Xia Luobing earnestly, "You must bring Nan Qi back."
"I will."
Just as she left Gao Yi'an's house, Xia Luobing's phone rang. She took out her phone and saw an unfamiliar number. She answered doubtfully, "Hello, may I ask who is there?"
"Xia Luobing, long time no see." A low female voice came from the phone. It was very strange on a quiet night."Do you want to come out for a drink?"
"Zhuang Xinran, since when did you like to play tricks like pretending to be a ghost?" Charlotte said coldly. She remembered her voice very clearly, so Zhuang Xinran had just spoken when she recognized who she was.
There was a moment of silence over there. The phone was hung up. Xia Luobing looked at the phone in her hand that was already black and frowned. Why did Zhuang Xinran come out at this time?
Xia Luobing stuffed his phone back into his bag. He had just taken two steps when a black Lincoln slowly stopped in front of her. The window was rolled down, revealing Huo Yunqi's handsome face. He waved to Xia Luobing, "Get in."
"Why are you here?" Xia Luobing opened the passenger seat and closed the door."Don't you need to take care of your mother in the hospital?" He asked.
Huo Yunqi said as he steered, "I'll take you home and I'll go to the hospital."
Hearing this, Xia Luobing felt warm in her heart. It was as if ever since she was with Huo Yunqi, she had become more and more dependent and was becoming smaller and smaller.
"How is your mother?" Xia Luobing was concerned. Originally, she should have gone to visit Liu Yan, but she thought that Liu Yan would probably be furious if she saw her. That would be even worse for her health, so she could only give up.
Huo Yunqi said to Xia Luobing while driving, "She doesn't know about her illness yet. She is in good health at the moment. The doctor said that as long as she finds a suitable match, she will be fine."
Today, Liu Yan had another comprehensive physical examination, and all the indicators were acceptable. Only then could Huo Yunqi breathe a sigh of relief and rush over to see Xia Luobing.
"According to the arrangements made by the Bureau, I will protect Ai Dasheng personally during this period of time." Xia Luobing whispered, "I don't think I'll have much time to spend with you and Duo Duo in the future."
Huo Yunqi's eyes narrowed as he slowly pulled over to the side of the road and said, "You agree?"
"Yes, I think close proximity to Ai Dasheng might be beneficial for us to come up with some evidence." Xia Luobing explained. Seeing Huo Yunqi staring at her, she continued, "I will protect myself."
The carriage was quiet. Xia Luobing felt that she could hear her heart beating. Ho Yunqi kept staring at her without saying a word, which made her very uneasy.
"Why aren't you talking?" Xia Luobing reached out and tugged at Huo Yunqi's arm, "Are you angry?"
Huo Yunqi sighed and turned to look at Charlotte."I don't want you to be in danger."
Xia Luobing took the initiative to hold Huo Yunqi's hand and smiled, "I'm just protecting his safety. What's the danger? And I want to find evidence of his crime."
"But ice..."
"Oh, it's you. I can't be with you every day. Don't make any fuss about it. Otherwise..." Xia Luobing waved her right thumb and index finger at Ho Yunqi's temple and winked at Ho Yunqi."You know!"
Huo Yunqi was amused by Xia Luobing's joke, but she still had a serious expression. She grabbed Xia Luobing's finger and held it in her hand. She said in a dull voice, "Pay attention to your safety."
If possible, he really wanted to make the person in front of him very, very small, and then put it away properly in his shirt pocket. He didn't have to worry about losing her anymore.
"Promise to complete the mission!" Xia Luobing saluted Huo Yunqi and smiled, "I can also watch Ai Wei Wei when I go to Addison's side. It's simply killing two birds with one stone."
Huo Qiyou reached out and pulled her into his embrace. His slender fingers scratched Xia Luobing's hair and sighed, "Ice, take care of your son. Don't put yourself in danger."
After experiencing so many things, the two of them finally got together. Yunqi Huo discovered that he was getting more and more cowardly. He was always worried that he would accidentally lose the person in his arms.
"I promise." Xia Luobing's voice was trembling. She did not expect Yunqi to say such words. He cared more about her than she thought.
Huo Yunqi rubbed Xia Luobing's hair and smiled, "Alright, I'll take you to dinner."
As soon as Huo Yunqi's words landed on the ground, Xia Luobing 's stomach cooperatively let out a "cooing" sound, as if she was echoing his words.
"How about hotpot?" Xia Luobing sat down and pulled the tilted seat belt. He smiled vividly and said, "I know a hot pot city is very good."
