“Miss Bai, oh no, Officer Bai, can you please not handcuff me? I don’t think I’ve done anything wrong.”
Tang Yu approached her with a cheerful smile, his eyes scanning the surroundings.
Unfortunately, he didn’t see Dragon Fang anywhere.
The hotel of Ergou! You deserve it!
Bai Wanyi shook her head to clear her thoughts and, with a cold voice, handcuffed Tang Yu.
“Stop smiling. You’re also a suspect. Go inside and wait for me.”
She pointed to an office nearby.
Tonight, the interrogation rooms were full, so they had to make do with an office.
Tang Yu obediently walked in.
Soon, Bai Wanyi brought in a cup of black coffee.
The bitter taste after taking a sip helped her stay alert.
“Did you hear about the incident at Moonlight Hotel today?”
She sat down and asked Tang Yu.
“Yes, it’s all over the news.”
Tang Yu nodded.
“Alright, since you were the former owner of Moonlight Hotel, you’re also a suspect. Let’s start the record.”
Bai Wanyi picked up her pen, ready to take notes.
“Wait, how am I a suspect?”
Tang Yu looked innocent.
[You’re the suspect, huh?]
[I’m from a wealthy family, why would I do something like this?]
[The email you received was sent by me, okay?]
[Why would I report myself for a crime I didn’t commit?]
Hearing the voice in her mind again, Bai Wanyi was finally sure she wasn’t imagining things.
This was definitely the voice of this guy’s sarcastic tone.
She frowned slightly.
Instead of dwelling on the fact that she could hear his thoughts, she focused on the email.
Was the email really sent by him?
She wasn’t the type to make baseless accusations. Given the Tang family’s resources, they wouldn’t need to get involved in such dirty business.
“Alright, I admit calling you a criminal suspect might not be accurate, but you still need to cooperate with our investigation.”
Bai Wanyi twirled her pen and stared at Tang Yu. “Do you know any leads about this case?”
“No, I bought the hotel recently just to throw a birthday party for Su Muyue. After that, I sold it.”
Tang Yu casually brought up Su Muyue as an excuse.
[I already sent you all the info, okay?]
[But I did find out about those scumbags like Tian Can Di Que causing trouble, which is why I sold the hotel.]
[Under normal circumstances, I would’ve reported them directly, but Dragon Fang insisted on buying the hotel, so I had no choice.]
[This bastard framed me by killing someone in my hotel and staging it as a suicide, then bringing people to cause trouble.]
[If I could find evidence, I would’ve reported him too.]
Bai Wanyi’s body trembled slightly, and her eyes almost burst with fury.
Dragon Fang?
The hotel murder case she had been investigating was actually orchestrated by him?
When she went to arrest Dragon Fang earlier, she already felt something was off.
He had several calluses on his hands.
Based on her experience, those were characteristics of someone who had been practicing with a gun for years!
“Dragon Fang, you’re good.”
Bai Wanyi gritted her teeth. As a police officer, she hated criminals like him the most.
However, she wasn’t too fond of Tang Yu either.
This guy knew so much but kept it to himself?
Luckily, she could hear his thoughts.
[Why is this silly girl gritting her teeth? Did I say something wrong?]
[Don’t tell me she’s jealous because I mentioned throwing a birthday party for Su Muyue?]
[Well, I can understand. She’s always busy with work and never had a chance to date. Jealousy is normal.]
[Just don’t take it out on me. I know how you women are—jealousy leads to destruction.]
Seeing Bai Wanyi suddenly look murderous, Tang Yu started muttering to himself in his mind.
Bai Wanyi almost slapped him.
Who wants to get close to you?
She took a big gulp of her black coffee to stay focused and stared at Tang Yu.
“I’d like to know why you suddenly sold the hotel to Dragon Fang at such a low price. That move is highly suspicious.”
“I’m rich. I can do whatever I want.”
Tang Yu smiled arrogantly.
[He kept causing trouble, and my hotel couldn’t operate properly, okay?]
[If I kept it, who knows what kind of false accusations he’d come up with?]
[These ex-mercenaries are all heartless.]
“Mercenary?”
Bai Wanyi’s expression changed again.
She had already investigated Dragon Fang.
According to the information she found, Dragon Fang’s identity abroad was that of an entrepreneur, and he had returned to invest in the country.
As for his mercenary background, she hadn’t found any evidence.
She quickly jotted down this crucial piece of information. It fit her theory perfectly.
“How much do you know about Dragon Fang?”
Bai Wanyi continued her questioning.
“Not much, but Officer Bai, I feel like this guy isn’t a good person. He looks like someone who’s killed before.”
“He was in a hurry to buy the hotel from me, so I suspect he might be connected to a criminal gang. You should definitely investigate him thoroughly.”
Tang Yu didn’t hesitate to smear Dragon Fang.
[I don’t know much about this scumbag.]
[This guy is a psychopath. After killing someone, he collects body parts from the victims.]
[Oh, I remember—the hair of the woman he killed might be hidden in his house.]
[I’ll send you another email later, almost forgot about that.]
Bai Wanyi quickly noted down this crucial clue.
With so many leads, the case finally seemed solvable.
She started to look at Tang Yu a bit more favorably. He had indeed been a big help.
But how did he know so much?
After going through the motions with a few more questions, she put away her pen, eager to investigate further.
“Alright, the investigation is over. Thank you for cooperating.”
“It’s not a problem. I’m just unlucky. If Officer Bai could treat me to some barbecue as compensation, that would be great.”
Tang Yu shook his handcuffs and smiled.
“Sure, but next time. I’m busy now.”
Bai Wanyi took out the key and unlocked the handcuffs.
Her quick agreement left Tang Yu a bit puzzled.
[Wow, this woman actually wants to treat me to dinner?]
[Nah, don’t be so nice. I don’t dare eat with you.]
[If you’re attracted to my handsome looks, it might affect my ability to lay low.]
“???”
Bai Wanyi looked at him with confusion.
Would I be attracted to your looks?
Pfft!
She was too busy with the case to argue with him.
As for the fact that she could hear his thoughts, she decided to figure it out later.
First, she needed to deal with Dragon Fang!
Just as the two were about to leave the office, the door was pushed open.
Ye Chen walked in with a lawyer, his expression grim.
Half an hour ago, he had suddenly received news that Dragon Fang had been arrested.
After looking into the Moonlight Hotel case, he rushed over with a sense of urgency.
Dragon Fang had been abroad for a long time and wasn’t very familiar with domestic laws. Ye Chen, on the other hand, knew the ins and outs of these matters.
In China, once you’re even slightly involved with drugs, your life is pretty much over.
Cheng's father told him he was getting remarried—to a wealthy woman. Cao Cheng realized his time had finally come: he was about to become a second-generation rich kid. Sure, it might be a watered-down version, but hey, at least he'd have status now, right? The wealthy woman also had four daughters!! Which meant, starting today, Cao Cheng gained four stunning older sisters?? But that wasn't even the whole story... "My name is Cao Cheng—'Cheng' as in 'honest, smooth-talking gentleman'!"

esick Sect? Well, at least it's considered a respectable orthodox sect. Wait a minute— What kind of vibe are you all giving off? Shouldn’t this be a love-struck, romance-obsessed sect? Why does everyone here sound more like demonic cultivators? "Master, today he’s getting married. This disciple wishes to descend the mountain and crash the wedding, then toy with him to death right in front of his wife..." "Elder, I only got into your sect through connections, so why won’t you teach me anything?" "Because I also became an elder through connections." Thankfully, Su Ji was just an outer sect labor disciple. Surely, nothing too crazy would— "Junior Brother, you’ve broken through to Qi Refining. Once you sever your useless spiritual root, you can officially become an outer sect disciple." "The Great Dao is merciless. Don’t let a worthless spiritual root waste your essence and spirit, hindering your cultivation." Is this really the Lovesick Sect? ... Three years later, Su Ji sat in the seat of the Lovesick Sect’s sect master, sighing with emotion. His rise to this position all started when his junior sister adamantly insisted on preserving his "spiritual root." "Mmm... Senior Brother, what’s our relationship now?" "Stop talking. Keep going." "By the way, that newly promoted top-tier sect—didn’t they come to buy our Love Beans?" "One top-grade spirit stone per Love Bean—is that really so expensive?" "I suspect they’ve eaten too many Love Beans." "Now they’re lovesick." Well, this really is the Lovesick Sect after all.
