"That's right!"
Chen Xiujie finally exploded. She stood up abruptly and slammed her hands on the interrogation table. Her palms were a little red because she used too much force.
She glared at Chen Xiujie fiercely. Her eyes were as wide as bells, and her face was fierce.
Chen Xiujie didn't have her usual genial look. She was like a mad lioness, especially her eyes, which were bloodshot. "When I married Lin Liang, he was still a pauper. I survived until he became rich, but what about him?! He kept a mistress, and I had to pretend that nothing happened to him … "
As she spoke, she completely broke down. She grabbed her hair tightly with both hands. "Lin Tianzhe … Lin Tianzhe …"
Chen Xiujie murmured the three words "Lin Tianzhe", and big drops of tears rolled down her cheeks.
"I didn't kill him just because I wanted to take revenge on Lin Liang, like you said. It was because … because …"
Her voice was choked with jealousy. She wiped away her tears and continued, "He knew that I wasn't his biological mother, so he …"
Ye Zi slowly closed her eyes. Her long eyelashes were like two fans. "It's because you've always treated Lin Tianzhe as your own. So, you can't tolerate Tang Qiuyu stealing your child. If you want to completely possess this child, the only way is to kill him."
"That's right!" Chen Xiujie roared. "I can't accept it. All the love I've given for so many years … I can't accept it!"
Thump!
After Chen Xiujie said this, her body seemed to be drained of energy, and she slumped weakly on the chair.
Ye Zi slowly closed her eyes. Perhaps, the moment she found out the truth, everything was no longer important to her. The corners of her lips curled up slightly, and a faint smile appeared on her face. Then, she got up and walked out of the interrogation room.
Bang!
The moment the door to the interrogation room closed, Chen Xiujie's cries flowed into Ye Zi's ears from the interrogation room.
Perhaps, Chen Xiujie was also regretting it.
At least, she had once treated Lin Tianzhe sincerely.
When he walked out of the Municipal Crime Squad, the sky was covered with thick dark clouds, and the anxious sound of thunder hovered above his head, making him feel suffocated and in awe.
The air was filled with a humid smell. Ye Zi stood at the door, closed her eyes, and took a deep breath.
Human nature …
What a joke.
For a man who didn't love her and a child who didn't belong to her, Chen Xiujie actually took this step.
She smiled bitterly and shook her head. She stretched out her white hand and caught the raindrops falling from the sky.
This might be the last rain of this autumn.
Just as Ye Zi was about to take a step, someone suddenly held up an umbrella for her from above. She turned around and saw Chen Mo standing behind her.
She smiled and said in a hoarse voice, "Thank you."
Chen Mo frowned slightly. He didn't know when the little girl who had been following him around and asking him to play with her would start to say thank you to him.
Inexplicably, Chen Mo felt a touch of sourness in his heart.
Yes.
This little girl didn't belong to him anymore.
Chen Mo smiled faintly. "You don't have to be so polite to me."
Ye Zi forced a shallow smile and nodded. "Brother Chen Mo, will Chen Xiujie be sentenced to death?"
"I don't know." Chen Mo opened his lips. His voice was distant and low, as pleasant as the bass of a piano. "Maybe, but it has nothing to do with you anymore."
Ye Zi turned to look at him.
Chen Mo smiled and said, "Isn't it?"
Ye Zi nodded slightly. "Yes, it has nothing to do with me anymore."
Beep, beep, beep …
In the distance, a black Jeep Cherokee drove into the Municipal Crime Squad. She didn't know why, but at that moment, Ye Zi really wanted to see Lin Yan. She wanted to hug him and listen to his deep and magnetic voice say "I love you" in her ear.
She couldn't wait any longer. She rushed into the heavy rain and rushed to the black Jeep Cherokee.
Lin Yan opened the car door and hurriedly got out of the car. He held up an umbrella for Ye Zi and said reproachfully, "Why didn't you wait for me to get to the door? You've just recovered from your cold. What if you catch a cold?!"
However, Ye Zi smiled at Lin Yan and threw herself into his arms. She hugged Lin Yan tightly, very hard, as if she wanted him to flow into her blood.
Lin Yan held the umbrella with one hand and stroked Ye Zi's head with the other. "Silly girl, what's wrong? Do you miss me so much? "
Ye Zi looked up. Her bright and clear eyes were filled with tenderness as she looked at Lin Yan without blinking. "Yeah! I miss you so much. It's like you! "
Ye Zi's voice was very, very loud, as if she was telling the world how much she loved Lin Yan, how much she missed Lin Yan, and how much she needed Lin Yan.
Lin Yan smiled. With one arm around Ye Zi's shoulder, he escorted her to the car.
Chen Mo, who was standing outside the Municipal Crime Squad, saw everything clearly.
Perhaps, from this moment on, the little girl who followed him around had grown up and no longer needed his Brother Chen Mo's protection. There was already a man by her side who could hold up the sky for her.
Chen Mo smiled. His eyes curved like the crescent moon in the night sky. When the black Jeep Cherokee disappeared from Chen Mo's sight, he turned around unhurriedly and walked to his office.
"Achoo!"
Lin Yan was not only a jinx, but he also had a blessed mouth. After returning home, the first thing Ye Zi realized was that she had caught a cold again.
Ye Zi glared at Lin Yan with hidden bitterness. Her eyes seemed to be saying: See, I caught a cold again, didn't I?
Lin Yan pursed his lips helplessly. Sometimes, women could be so unreasonable.
Her unreasonable look was so cute that people couldn't take their eyes off her.
"It's ginger cola again?!" Ye Zi watched as Lin Yan brought out a bowl of something black from the kitchen. She knew that it was the spicy ginger cola again.
Lin Yan handed it to Ye Zi. "Who told you to catch a cold again?!"
His question left Ye Zi speechless.
Indeed, she deserved it. If she hadn't been drenched in the rain, she wouldn't have caught a cold.
The word "smug" was the most appropriate word for her at this moment.
She had no choice. She had to finish the fight even if she had to cry.
Ye Zi finished the big bowl of ginger cola in one go. She felt bitter and spicy in her mouth. She quickly found a piece of candy and stuffed it into her mouth.
Lin Yan just smiled and walked into the kitchen with the bowl.
Just as he finished washing the dishes, his phone rang. Lin Yan wiped his hands with a paper towel and answered the call from Qin Chen.
"What's up?"
"Well …"
When Lin Yan picked up the phone, Qin Chen on the other end of the phone fell into a long silence.
Lin Yan frowned slightly and threw the paper towel into the bin. "Just say it."
"I've found it."
This time, it was Lin Yan's turn to be silent. After a long time, Lin Yan opened his thin lips and asked Qin Chen, "Is it about her?"
"That's right."
The expression on Lin Yan's face was a little complicated. He glanced at the living room and saw Ye Zi sticking out her tongue. His frown deepened. "Wait a minute. I'll call you back later."
He hung up the phone and walked out of the kitchen.
Ye Zi looked at him and asked, "Do you have a job?"
Lin Yan nodded. "There's something going on at the company. I need to deal with it."
"Well, okay. Don't worry about me. I can order takeout for dinner." Ye Zi smiled at Lin Yan, indicating that he didn't need to worry about her.
Lin Yan frowned and nodded gently. Then, he walked to the porch, put on his shoes, and walked out of Ye Zi's house. In the blink of an eye, Lin Yan returned to the house next door and called Qin Chen.
Qin Chen quickly answered the phone. "Was Ye Zi by your side just now?"
"Yes." Lin Yan nodded and asked, "Any clues?"
Qin Chen said, "According to the last person who saw her, the old criminal police officer was also from Binhai City. However, after that incident, he took her and left Binhai City."
"Can you find any clues about the old criminal police officer?" Lin Yan's voice was a little low as he asked.
"I'm afraid this is a little difficult. The criminal police files are confidential, especially for an old spy like him. Even if I use all the available connections at hand, I'm afraid I won't be able to find anything."
"Well, you continue to investigate …"
Before Lin Yan could finish his words, Qin Chen suddenly interrupted him and asked, "Lin Yan, let me ask you. Do you think Ye Zi is her substitute?"
There was a long period of silence on the other end of the line.
Beep beep beep …
Then, the phone was directly hung up by Lin Yan.
Qin Chen looked at the phone screen that was gradually dimming and couldn't help but frown.
For Ye Zi, Qin Chen was still very fond of her. For so many years, there had never been a woman by Lin Yan's side, especially a woman like Ye Zi, who was even rarer.
As Lin Yan's only best friend in this life, Qin Chen thought that Ye Zi was more suitable for Lin Yan, not for a childhood joke.
Qin Chen put the phone in his pocket, and Jian Xia wrapped her arms around Qin Chen's waist from behind. Her beautiful face was close to Qin Chen's back. "What did Lin Yan say?"
"I asked him if he really thought Ye Zi was a substitute, and he hung up on me."
Qin Chen turned his head and gently kissed Jian Xia on the forehead.
Jian Xia shook her head helplessly as a faint smile appeared on her lips. "Could it be that Lin Yan is still fantasizing?"
Qin Chen shrugged. "He is very persistent."
"What about Ye Zi?" Jian Xia frowned. "Do you think I should tell her?"
"Of course not."
Jian Xia let go of Qin Chen and fiercely pinched his waist. "You men, none of you are good. You eat what's in the pot and look at what's in the basin."
