Xu Mu hesitated slightly but still stood up.
According to the original plot, the cleaner indeed had such a right. With just one word from her, those people would surely obediently bring the search warrant.
"Don't worry. I definitely won't disclose the secrets of your company. Otherwise, I'm willing to compensate ten times the loss."
Jiang Huihui opened the drawers one by one but just rummaged through them casually and then closed them.
When her hand pressed on the second drawer on the left, Xu Mu's expression obviously changed.
Jiang Huihui noticed this and showed a faint smile, then opened the drawer completely.
However, she found that there were no files here, only a mobile phone.
She turned it on and found that it was password - protected. So she handed the phone to Xu Mu and said, "Unlock the password!"
"The mobile phone is my private property," Xu Mu was reluctant.
"Now I suspect you're involved in a murder case. Maybe there's evidence in the phone."
Jiang Huihui put her feet on the office desk, and her tone was non - negotiable. "I'll say it one more time. Open it! Otherwise, you're under suspicion, and I have the right to arrest you."
Xu Mu took a deep breath and finally pressed his fingerprint on the phone, then handed it back to Jiang Huihui.
Jiang Huihui gave Xu Mu a cold look and then flipped through the phone. Checking from the settings, she found that the phone had more than a dozen gigabytes of videos.
She randomly clicked on one, and immediately, a sound similar to that from Jiu Zhi's phone before burst out.
Jiang Huihui was originally full of confidence, but when she saw the video on the phone, her face blushed instantly, and the blush spread all the way to the tips of her ears.
She immediately turned off the phone, and black words appeared above her head.
[Favorability - 20]
This was the reason why Xu Mu was nervous just now.
However, he was also innocent. It was the previous villain Xu Mu who did this, and it had nothing to do with him.
At most, he just idly cast a critical look at it.
"Shameless!"
Jiang Huihui gave Xu Mu a cold glare.
"You've never seen it? Then how do you know what it is?"
Xu Mu put his hands in his pockets and said expressionlessly, "I didn't spread it. It's not illegal."
"You..."
Jiang Huihui threw the phone into the drawer. She got up and came to Xu Mu's side, groping him from top to bottom.
"You're shameless! How can you take advantage of me?"
Xu Mu immediately hugged himself and took a few steps back. "I'll call the police!"
"Call if you dare! It'll still be me who comes!"
Jiang Huihui said coldly.
Xu Mu had already guessed what the other person was here for.
She mentioned a murder case just now, and since she was a cleaner, it was very likely because she had found Jiu Zhi's body.
Jiu Zhi died from a gunshot wound. Xu Mu was the one who reported this incident to the police.
It was understandable that she suspected him.
The previous rummaging and body - search were all to find the Desert Eagle.
Unfortunately, even if Xu Mu stood naked in front of her, she still couldn't find it because the thing was hidden in the storage space.
Jiang Huihui took out her own phone and opened a photo. "Do you know this person?"
Xu Mu took a look and indeed, it was Jiu Zhi.
However, he was turned to the other side, and the two holes on his head couldn't be seen.
Xu Mu was thinking in his heart and then said, "Yes, I've seen him."
"So you've really seen him. What happened between you two?"
Jiang Huihui continued to press for an answer.
"He was a killer sent by Lin Yang to kill me. But I promised him that as long as he told me the whereabouts of Feng Yue and Mu Qingying, I'd give him five times the money that Lin Yang offered."
Xu Mu looked at Jiang Huihui and explained, "The place where they were captured was told to me by him."
"Why didn't you say so yesterday?"
Jiang Huihui stared into Xu Mu's eyes.
"I was afraid to. After I finished taking the statement yesterday, I went to the factory to find him and planned to transfer the money to him. When I found him dead, I ran away."
Xu Mu deliberately pretended to be nervous and said, "I didn't kill him. Even if I wanted to, I didn't have the ability."
Jiang Huihui's sharp eyes gradually narrowed, and then she blew a bubble.
"Don't be nervous. This man is a wanted criminal. Whoever gets rid of him will be rewarded. I originally thought it was you."
"Definitely not. You should have investigated me. I only cause minor troubles at most. I'd never dare to kill someone."
Xu Mu had already guessed that Jiang Huihui had investigated his information before coming here.
Otherwise, her favorability towards him wouldn't be so low.
"If it wasn't you, then I made a wrong judgment."
Jiang Huihui put one hand in her pocket, waved to Xu Mu, and then turned around to leave.
"Miss Jiang, let me see you off."
Xu Mu was just being polite. After all, a normal person would say no.
But Jiang Huihui wasn't a normal person. She nodded slightly. "Okay."
Xu Mu was about to sit down, but unexpectedly, Jiang Huihui said this.
He had no choice. Since he had already said it, he had to follow behind Jiang Huihui and leave the office with her.
The two took the elevator downstairs together.
During the ride, Jiang Huihui glanced at Xu Mu. "This dead man was a killer. He did all kinds of evil. If you have any other information, remember to tell me."
"Miss Jiang, there's something I'm not sure if I should say or not."
Xu Mu suddenly spoke up.
"Say it."
"You're focusing on the wrong thing! This killer personally told me that it was Lin Yang who sent him. Shouldn't you focus on arresting Lin Yang?"
Xu Mu looked at Jiang Huihui and asked, "Or is Lin Yang's identity so special that you dare not arrest him?"
He didn't know the subsequent plot about Lin Yang, but through the system, he knew Lin Yang's experience.
After making a name for himself abroad, Lin Yang was once invited by the country to be an instructor, teaching some recruits.
Obviously, the higher - ups wanted to recruit him, but Lin Yang was used to being alone. He only trained for more than half a year and then quit.
Now all these plots were integrated into one world.
Then, the cleaner's side must have Lin Yang's information.
"What are you talking nonsense about? Shouldn't things be done step by step?"
Jiang Huihui averted her eyes and blew another bubble.
"Yes, but there should be a priority. This time, the main focus should be on Lin Yang. He stole our Xu family's medicine. In the end, he was so angry that he even sent a killer to kill me."
Xu Mu came in front of Jiang Huihui, looking down into her eyes. "He might attack me at any time, but you're actually concerned about the death of a wanted criminal. It doesn't make sense, does it?"
Jiang Huihui couldn't help clenching her fists. Although Xu Mu wasn't a good person.
But his words really hit the nail on the head.
After this incident happened, she also investigated Lin Yang and found that the higher - ups had once invited Lin Yang to be a cleaner.
This incident had also alerted the higher - ups.
Because a certain senior cleaner once said that Lin Yang had extremely high talent and would be a person of great importance in the future.
So they were trying to find a way to give Lin Yang a way out.
As long as Lin Yang was willing to admit his mistake, his guilt would be waived.
They ordered Jiang Huihui not to interfere in Lin Yang's matter and just investigate who killed Jiu Zhi.
This made Jiang Huihui very unhappy.
Wrong was wrong. They kept saying that everyone was equal.
Just because he had good talent, could he have special privileges?
Ding!
The elevator stopped on the first floor. Jiang Huihui walked out with her hands in her pockets.
She seemed to have made up her mind. "Xu Mu! Let's exchange contact information. Don't worry about Lin Yang. If he dares to lay a hand on you again, I'll definitely make him pay the price!"
"Okay, you're so awesome, sister."
Xu Mu gave her a thumbs - up. The woman in front of him was a cleaner.
No matter how powerful Lin Yang was, he couldn't go against a cleaner.
The two exchanged phone numbers and added each other on WeChat.
After saying goodbye to Xu Mu, Jiang Huihui walked away into the distance.
While taking the elevator back, Xu Mu browsed through her Moments.
He was completely stunned. It seemed that Jiang Huihui posted a Moments almost every day.

ey change clothes. Li Chuan contributed all his possessions, only to find that things were not as they seemed. Almost a year after joining, he hadn’t managed to get a single Daoist consort. Thinking he had been deceived, he was approached by a stunning senior fellow disciple who asked if he would like to form a spiritual bond. For those who don’t practice cultivation, they might not know what “forming a spiritual bond” is. Let me put it this way: A long-term relationship is called a “Daoist consort,” while a short-term relationship is known as “forming a spiritual bond.” From then on, Li Chuan discovered the true way to interact with the Yin-Yang Sect’s Daoist consorts. As long as he had enough spirit stones, he could form a spiritual bond with anyone, Whether it’s Senior Sisters, aunts, Daoist consorts of aunts, female elders, Daoist consorts of elders, or even the Daoist consort of the sect leader, anyone can form a spiritual bond as long as there are enough spirit stones.” I've already joined the Yin-Yang Sect, and you're telling me to focus on cultivation? Do you even know what the Yin-Yang Sect is all about?
