Ye Zi glanced at Mu Tianlong. Her lips curled into a faint smile and she shook her head slightly. "I just hope that Mr. Mu can cooperate with me."
Mu Tianlong's face was gloomy as if it was covered with a layer of haze. His breath was filled with the choking smell of PM25.
He pondered for a moment and looked around. Seeing that there were many pedestrians around, he lowered his voice and said, "Let's go to my office to talk."
Ye Zi smiled. As the saying goes, a wicked person will be tortured by another wicked person.
This little bastard made her walk in the heavy rain for most of the night. She finally got her revenge.
After Mu Tianjiao's death, Mu Tianlong took over the CEO's office. The huge office was five or six times the size of her house. It was decorated in a typical European style and had extravagant office supplies. Ye Zi had never seen anything like this before.
"Sit down." Mu Tianlong gestured with his chin toward the chair opposite his desk. Then, he turned to look at his lover. The expression on his face eased a little. "Go to work first."
He tried his best to maintain his demeanor. He took a bottle of mineral water for Ye Zi and sat down. Then, he asked in a deep voice, "What do you want to know?"
Ye Zi raised her eyebrows and went straight to the point. "Where were you when Mu Tianjiao was murdered?"
"I can only tell you that I didn't kill Mu Tianjiao." Mu Tianlong raised his angular chin. His face was cold and inhuman.
Hearing that, Ye Zi curled her lips into a faint smile. "Don't tell me that when the police ask questions, you also answer like this?"
Mu Tianlong was slightly startled. He lowered his eyelashes and smiled slightly. "I can tell you, but you must keep it a secret."
Ye Zi pinched his weak spot. He had no choice but to answer. If Ye Zi spread the news that he was gay, he would have no hope of inheriting the Muting Group.
Mu Tianlong pondered for a moment. After a long while, he raised his eyes to look at Ye Zi. He exhaled foul air from his nose and said coldly, "I have an alibi."
Ye Zi shrugged and waited for Mu Tianlong to continue.
Mu Tianlong was a little speechless. His face was blue and purple. "I was in the No. 7 Pawnshop."
No. 7 Pawnshop?!
Ye Zi frowned slightly. "What is that place?"
"It's a gay bar.
bar。” Mu Tianlong explained, "On the day of Mu Tianjiao's death, I've been in that bar since 1pm. I even hooked up with two men and booked a room at the Imperial Hotel."
"Bastard!"
Suddenly, someone rushed into Mu Tianlong's office. Ye Zi turned around and saw that Mu Tianlong's lover was back.
Ye Zi swallowed a mouthful of saliva and had an ominous premonition. She hurriedly stood up and shuffled towards the door.
"How dare you lie to me. You even told me that you went to the branch company for an inspection that day … You …"
Ye Zi moved to the door and heard a burst of angry cursing and sobbing coming from inside.
Good, good …
She muttered in her heart. "I hope God will bless you."
Mu Tianlong's suspicions were completely eliminated. Then, Ye Zi also had no clues.
At this time, it was already dusk outside the window. Ye Zi lowered her head and kicked a small stone from time to time. Yao Anmian caught up with her. Seeing that Ye Zi had lowered her head in silence, he asked, "Boss, did you find anything?"
Ye Zi looked up and shook her head slightly. "Now, all the clues have been cut off."
"Then …" Yao Anmian pondered for a while. "Do you want to ask Brother Chen Mo?"
Ye Zi rejected him. "Forget it. He definitely won't reveal any clues. We'd better investigate on our own. It's getting late. You should go back first."
Yao Anmian said, "Then I'll leave first."
This case was shrouded in mystery. Ye Zi felt a wave of cold air assaulting her. She narrowed her eyes. Ever since Lin Ande came looking for a beating, she seemed to have overlooked something. However, she just couldn't figure it out. Just what did she overlook?
As they walked, Ye Zi suddenly stopped and snapped her fingers. "It seems that until now, I haven't asked for Andrew Lim's statement."
Indeed, ever since Ye Zi started working on this case, she had only seen Andrew Lim once in a hurry when he came to look for her.
Originally, she had wanted to install surveillance cameras in Andrew Lim's house. When she had asked about Mu Tianjiao, Mu Tianjiao had suddenly died. Since then, she had never seen Andrew Lim or Mu Tianjiao's corpse.
Should she make a trip to the police station?
Beep, beep, beep …
While Ye Zi was deep in thought, the sound of a car horn came from behind and pulled her back to reality.
She turned around and saw a black Jeep Cherokee. F * ck! Why is it him again? The living jinx …
Eh! Ye Zi was suddenly delighted. She thought that the jinx should be returning to Xinglan Bay Apartments at this time. Then she could hitch a ride with him.
It would cost at least 30 yuan to return to Xinglan Bay from the CBD commercial center.
Ye Zi's philosophy was to save whenever possible.
She hurriedly put on a flattering smile and walked to the black Jeep Cherokee. "Jinx … Twinkle, twinkle, twinkle, the sky is full of little stars."
Lin Yan frowned. "What?"
"I'm giving you a nursery rhyme to sing your praises, just like a star." Ye Zi chuckled. Just now, she subconsciously blurted out the words' jinx '. Luckily, she was smart and quick-witted. She adapted to the situation and sang a song.
"Stars?" Lin Yan was confused. "What stars?"
Jinx.
Of course, these three words were what Ye Zi had in mind.
"Don't worry about the stars. Worry about me first." Ye Zi slapped her arm on Lin Yan's car window. "Are you going home?"
"You want to hitch a ride?" Lin Yan's lips curled up into a smirk.
Ye Zi saw Lin Yan's smile and suddenly thought of his driving speed. "This is the city center. You'll get a ticket if you drive too fast."
She was sure that Lin Yan would not race in the city center.
Of course, she was wrong.
Lin Yan had a way to make Ye Zi vomit non-stop when she got out of the car.
"Blargh!"
Ye Zi held the car door with one hand and held her waist with the other. She suddenly retched. "Don't drag me if you want to die. I haven't lived enough."
She straightened up and wanted to stomp her feet and roar.
Just now, although Lin Yan was driving normally, he would suddenly step on the accelerator every time they turned a corner. Then, with a cool drift, Ye Zi swayed left and right in the car. As a result, the moment she got out of the car, she saw the scene just now.
She finally stabilized her breathing and turned to walk back to the apartment.
Ding dong.
The elevator stopped and Ye Zi rushed out of the elevator. She lowered her head and muttered, "Jinx, jinx …"
"Sis, you're back."
Suddenly, Ye Xinrou's voice entered Ye Zi's ears. She looked up and saw Ye Xinrou standing at the door of her apartment.
Ye Xinrou smiled brightly. Just as she was about to give Ye Zi a bear hug, Lin Yan walked out of the elevator.
Her expression changed and her body froze. She frowned. "Why are you guys together?!"
Ye Zi did not see the envy and jealousy in Ye Xinrou's eyes. She thought she had misunderstood her. She waved her hands and said, "Xinrou, don't misunderstand. We're just neighbors."
Ye Xinrou did not even look at Ye Zi. Her watery eyes stared unblinkingly at Lin Yan. It looked like his girlfriend had found out about his affair with his mistress.
Naturally, Lin Yan did not care about Ye Xinrou. He walked to the door of his apartment and placed his long fingers on the fingerprint lock. The door opened with a click. He walked in and ignored the sisters.
Ye Zi shrugged and pointed her chin at Lin Yan. It was as though she was saying, "See? We're just neighbors."
Only then did Ye Xinrou let out a sigh of relief. Her eyes focused on Ye Zi. A faint smile appeared on her face. She intimately held Ye Zi's arm and leaned her head on her shoulder. She said sweetly, "Sis, I'm starving. Make me something to eat."
Her eyes stared unblinkingly at Lin Yan's closed door. She reluctantly looked away and followed Ye Zi into her apartment.
It was really like wearing out iron shoes in fruitless searching, only to find it by chance.
Ye Xinrou never dreamed that Lin Yan would live next door to Ye Zi.
She would never miss this opportunity. Ye Zi was cooking noodles for Ye Xinrou in the kitchen. She leaned against the kitchen door frame while nibbling on an apple. She looked at Ye Zi's back and asked, "Sis, when did Mr. Lin move next door to you?"
Ye Zi cracked an egg into the pot. "Last week."
"Crunch." Ye Xinrou took another bite of the apple. She asked while eating, "Sis, you live so close to Mr. Lin. Have you seen his girlfriend?"
"No." Ye Zi hesitated for a moment. Perhaps it was because of the smoke rising from the pot that her face turned red.
When Ye Xinrou heard this, a smile flashed across her face. It turned out that he didn't have a girlfriend. In that case, she still had a chance.
"Sis." Ye Xinrou called out to Ye Zi sweetly.
Ye Zi turned her head and glanced at her. "What's the matter?"
Ye Xinrou put her arms around Ye Zi's shoulders. The smile on her face was like a blooming rose. "Sis, can I and him …"
Ye Zi frowned and stared at her. From the expression on her face, she knew what she was thinking. Subconsciously, Ye Zi blurted out, "No."
"Why?!" Ye Xinrou was shocked. Her eyes widened as she looked at Ye Zi in astonishment.
"Uh …"
Ye Zi's face was slightly red, but she treated it as hot noodles.
Frowning, Ye Zi shrugged her shoulders and broke free from Ye Xinran's hand. "That … that …"
"Sis, we are both unmarried. Why can't we be together?" Ye Xinrou asked.
"Um … um …"
She shook Ye Zi's arm hard and urged, "Sis, tell me quickly!"
"Because … because …"
Ye Zi didn't know how to answer. Did she want Ye Zi to tell Ye Xinrou that she had slept with Lin Yan before?!
After pondering for a while, Ye Zi said, "Because he is a jinx."
"Jinx?!" Ye Xinrou was puzzled. She blinked her clear eyes and stared at Ye Zi suspiciously.
