Mu Xinran's house.
Zheng Kaixuan, Zhao Gengmin, and Mu Xinran sat on the sofa. Li Xia walked over with a pot of coffee and poured it for the three of them.
Zheng Kaixuan took a sip of the coffee and frowned, "It's so bitter."
"In order to maintain my figure, I usually drink black coffee. Li Xia, go and get some milk and sugar," Mu Xinran said.
"No need, I'll just drink water." Zheng Kaixuan waved his hand.
"Captain Zheng, how's the investigation going?" Zhao Gengmin asked.
"Team Leader Han is investigating. I believe there will be news soon," Zheng Kaixuan said perfunctorily.
"Hmph, people who do such immoral things are either perverts or people with a bad conscience," Zhao Gengmin snorted.
Zheng Kaixuan didn't reply. He asked Mu Xinran, "Miss Mu, it's been three days since October 7th. The blackmailer hasn't called. What do you think?"
"How would I know?" Mu Xinran shook her head and asked, "Captain Zheng, you should be more experienced than me. Why do you think this is?"
"Knock knock …" At this moment, there was a knock on the door.
"Coming," Li Xia answered and walked over to open the door.
The door opened and four men walked in. The one in front was the acting team leader of Team 2, Han Bin.
"Team Leader Han," Li Xia greeted.
"Team Leader Han is here. Please come in," Mu Xinran shouted.
Han Bin glanced around the room and his gaze fell on Li Xia, "Li Xia, we're here to look for you."
"Team Leader Han, why are you looking for me?" Li Xia took a step back.
Han Bin took out Zhang Jinghua's photo and asked, "Do you know this person?"
Li Xia shook her head, "No."
"He already confessed. You paid him to frame Li Hanxuan," Han Bin said coldly.
Li Xia's expression changed. She took two steps back and leaned against the wall.
"Team Leader Han, what's going on?" Mu Xinran asked.
"Li Xia, are you going to say it or should I?" Han Bin asked.
"I don't know what to say. I don't know." Li Xia shook her head.
"Tell me how you made the key to Ms. Mu's house, and how you bribed the key maker to frame Li Hanxuan," Han Bin said.
"I didn't, I'm innocent." Li Xia lowered her head and said.
"We have surveillance cameras, witnesses, and transfer records. You can't get away with it." Han Bin snorted.
"I, how could I, I …" Li Xia muttered to herself.
"Li Xia, you actually betrayed me. I trusted you so much and even let you be my assistant. How could you do such a thing?" Mu Xinran said angrily.
Li Xia slowly squatted on the ground, her hands covering her face as she sobbed softly.
"You still have the face to cry? Our Ranran treats you so well. Your conscience has been eaten by a dog." Zhao Gengmin scolded.
"Li Xia, I've always treated you as a good sister. You've really disappointed me!" Mu Xinran criticized.
"Alright, restrain yourselves. We're going to bring her back to the police station for interrogation." Han Bin said.
"Group Leader Han, please wait a moment. I want to say a few more words to Li Xia." Mu Xinran said.
"Go ahead."
Mu Xinran took a deep breath and walked to Li Xia's side. She pulled her up from the ground: "Li Xia, look at me. I have something to say to you."
Li Xia choked with sobs: "What else is there to say now?"
"I've always treated you as a sister. I trust you very much. I treat you as my best sister. Why? I want to know. Why?" Mu Xinran said.
Li Xia sneered: "You don't need to do this. I'm just a little assistant. What qualifications do I have to be your sister?"
"No, I've never treated you as an outsider. I've always treated you as a sister. I really didn't expect it to be you." Mu Xinran choked with sobs, revealing a sad expression.
"Hmph, stop acting, Mu Xinran. I'm younger than you, so I can't be your sister. In your eyes, I'm just a servant. How could I be your sister?" Li Xia snorted.
"I've never treated you as a servant. In my heart, you're my sister." Mu Xinran said.
"Mu Xinran, pat your chest and say, how much money do you earn in a year? How much do I earn in a year? Your income is more than a hundred times mine. Is there such a sister?" Li Xia asked.
"Li Xia, not everything can be measured by money. If you were to be someone else's assistant, you might not be able to earn more than what you're earning now." Mu Xinran said.
"I know what you mean. You want to say that I'm just a servant. If I don't follow you, I won't even be able to earn ten thousand a month. I admit, that might be the case, but …" Li Xia's face revealed a complicated expression as she shouted:
"Men strive for greater heights, just as water flows downwards. I see and know too many secrets every day. If I were to reveal these secrets, they would be worth more than the money I could earn in my entire life. Your secrets are worth far more than the money you give me."
"I know. I wasn't considerate in the past. I will compensate you in the future." Mu Xinran quickly nodded.
"It's too late. It's too late to say anything now." Li Xia sighed.
"It's not too late. Give me back the video you secretly took. You know, it's very important to me." Mu Xinran said.
"I'll give you the video. How much can you give me?" Li Xia laughed.
"I'll give you whatever you want." Mu Xinran said.
"Two million."
"No problem, I'll give it, I'll give it to you." Mu Xinran quickly said. This amount of money was nothing to her.
"Yeah, it's not a problem for you. Two million is just your appearance fee for a day, but I won't be able to earn that much money in ten years." Li Xia laughed at herself.
"As long as you return the video you secretly took to me, not only will I give you a large sum of money, I will also ask the police to deal with you leniently. Please." Mu Xinran said.
"What were you doing earlier?" Li Xia shook her head: "The video is not with me. I can't earn your money. My crime is not as heavy as you think. I don't need you to plead for me."
"What do you mean? What do you mean my video is not with you?" Mu Xinran questioned.
"A few days ago, someone called me and said that as long as I help him with something, he will give me two million. That's two million." Li Xia sighed and continued: "It's very simple. I just need to get a key to your house and put it in the corner of the stairway."
"Is it the stairs on this floor?" Han Bin asked.
"Yes, I only did this one thing. I don't know about stealing or extorting. It has nothing to do with me." Li Xia said.
In her opinion, the domestic laws needed to be improved. It was not certain whether the crime of stealing a key could be established. She would not bear too much responsibility.
For two million, it was worth it!
Han Bin did not believe her nonsense: "Do you dare say that you did not betray Mu Xinran's whereabouts? As long as you betray her whereabouts, you are an accomplice. "
Li Xia rolled her eyes: "I only told him that it was my daily schedule. I never said anything about Mu Xinran."
"Isn't that nonsense? You are Mu Xinran's assistant. Is there any difference between your schedule and hers? "Li Hui snorted.
"That has nothing to do with me. It's not illegal for me to talk about my own matters, right?" Li Xia said.
Han Bin sneered: "Do you think we are fools or do you think the judge is a fool? This is Qin Island!"
