In just one week, Wu Xinyi seemed to have changed into another person.
She used to be beautiful and elegant, but now, she looked like a … psychopath.
No wonder Chen Mo would let her see Wu Xinyi's photo. She was really sick. Her messy hair was casually tied behind her head. Her face was as pale as a sheet of paper, especially her pair of scarlet eyes. She was wearing a long red dress that was as red as blood. It was a striking shade of red.
She stood at the door and did not move, as if she was waiting for Ye Zi to speak first.
Although Ye Zi was nervous, she did not lose her composure. She walked straight to Wu Xinyi with a faint smile on her face. "Miss Wu, how can I help you?"
Wu Xinyi stared at Ye Zi without blinking. Her burning gaze seemed to be able to burn everything in an instant. She walked towards Ye Zi step by step, while Ye Zi retreated step by step.
Bang! There was a muffled sound.
Ye Zi's back hit the bookcase. She could no longer avoid it. She frowned at Wu Xinyi and asked in a low voice, "What are you trying to do?"
"What am I trying to do?" Wu Xinyi raised her eyebrows and her lips curled into a cold smile. "Of course I want to take your life."
Wu Xinyi suddenly stretched out her hands and clutched Ye Zi's neck.
In an instant, she felt suffocated. Ye Zi felt as if Wu Xinyi was going to break her neck. Her eyes were bloodshot because of the pressure.
Ye Zi did not want to hurt Wu Xinyi. Although she was the one who caused all this, she was also a victim.
"Xinyi!"
Outside the office, someone suddenly exclaimed. This voice was very familiar to Ye Zi. Looking in the direction of the voice, Ye Zi saw Qin Fengchi running towards her.
"Xinyi, let go." Qin Fengchi pried Wu Xinyi's fingers apart one by one.
Wu Xinyi gritted her teeth. "It's all her fault. If it weren't for her, I wouldn't have ended up like this."
"My fault?" Ye Zi panted heavily. The corner of her lips twitched. What kind of f * cking people are they?!
Ye Zi thought, "Did I force you to play the rape game with Fang Tao?" Or did I ask you to go out and make friends in high school?
She was too lazy to talk to Wu Xinyi. She picked up the scattered books on the floor one by one. With Qin Fengchi around, she knew that Wu Xinyi could not do anything ruthless.
Qin Fengchi looked at Ye Zi apologetically and said, "I'm sorry."
Ye Zi shrugged indifferently. "I hope you can keep an eye on her."
In terms of figure, Ye Zi and Wu Xinyi were almost the same. However, in terms of strength, Ye Zi had learned a few days of fighting. It was easy for her to beat Wu Xinyi.
Wu Xinyi still wanted to go forward, but she was stopped by Qin Fengchi.
"Fengchi, get out of the way!" Wu Xinyi's voice was almost roaring.
Ye Zi put the book on the bookshelf indifferently. Then, she walked slowly to the back of Qin Fengchi and gently put her fair and small hand on Qin Fengchi's shoulder. Qin Fengchi turned around, and Ye Zi said lightly, "Get out of the way."
Qin Fengchi hesitated a little. He was worried that Wu Xinyi would do something to hurt Ye Zi.
However, Ye Zi's expression was indifferent, as though nothing could enter her eyes. She smiled faintly and said, "It's alright."
Qin Fengchi frowned and watched Ye Zi walk step by step to Wu Xinyi.
Ye Zi sneered and said calmly, "You've done so many wrong things. Do you think it's all the fault of others?"
Wu Xinyi stared at her with her eyes wide open.
Ye Zi continued, "From the beginning, you've been the one at fault. You'd better see clearly. Now that you've become like this, who can you blame? Let me tell you, there are many miserable people in this world. Don't always put on a compassionate attitude. Look at the reality, don't wallow in the past. "
Wu Xinyi's tears kept rolling in her eyes.
A pitiful person must have something to hate.
Ye Zi knew this very well. But who didn't? She only thought that Wu Xinyi was ridiculous. She had to wallow in the past and cause her character to become distorted.
When Wu Xinyi heard Ye Zi's words, she fell on the chair.
Tears rolled down her cheeks like a broken necklace of pearls. She covered her face and cried bitterly.
After a long time, she seemed to be tired of crying and sat there, sobbing silently.
Ye Zi took out a piece of tissue and handed it to Wu Xinyi. "It's not too late for you to know that you're wrong."
"But …" Wu Xinyi looked up at Ye Zi with tears on her face. "I've been ruined."
"At least, you can still be a new person, can't you?" Ye Zi asked with a faint smile.
Wu Xinyi looked at Ye Zi in a daze. She bit her lip hard and said in a trembling voice, "Can I still be a new person?"
Ye Zi nodded and said softly, "As long as you want, you can."
Looking at Wu Xinyi, Ye Zi let out a sigh of relief. She had finally settled her. Turning to look at Qin Fengchi, Ye Zi smiled faintly.
In Qin Fengchi's view, it seemed that no matter what happened, Ye Zi could handle it.
He nodded at Ye Zi and said, "Thank you."
Ye Zi raised her hand and patted Qin Fengchi's shoulder. She smiled and said, "You don't have to be so polite with me."
She looked down and glanced at Wu Xinyi. She said, "It seems that she can't go back with you for the time being. Sit down first. I'll get you some water."
After a while, Ye Zi returned with two glasses of water. Qin Fengchi took the glass from Ye Zi's hand and took a sip. He looked up at Ye Zi. His eyes were extremely gentle, like a spring breeze.
Looking at Qin Fengchi's eyes, Ye Zi blushed slightly and tried to avoid his eyes.
"Ye Zi."
The owner of the voice was Wu Xinyi.
Ye Zi looked at her and asked with a frown, "What's wrong?"
"I …" Wu Xinyi pursed her lips and said, "I know that Fang Tao is dead."
Ye Zi's eyes suddenly narrowed when she heard this. She stared at Wu Xinyi without blinking, waiting for her to continue.
"I've been following Fang Tao all this time." Wu Xinyi sighed. Her voice was extremely soft and indifferent, as if she had experienced spring and autumn in an instant. "I followed them to the hotel that day and stayed in the room opposite them."
"You … Are you dressed like a backpacker?" Ye Zi asked with a frown.
Wu Xinyi wiped the tears from her eyes, pursed her lips, and nodded to Ye Zi.
Ye Zi should have known that the person dressed like a backpacker should know either Fang Tao or Ye Xinrou. However, she didn't expect that the person turned out to be Wu Xinyi.
"Phew …"
Wu Xinyi let out a long sigh, and her voice didn't sound as trembling as before. "I wanted to kill Fang Tao, but I don't know why I was so tired and sleepy that night. I fell asleep in the hotel. When I woke up, I saw a girl running out of Fang Tao's room."
The person she was talking about should be Ye Xinrou.
Ye Zi furrowed her brows tightly, and a gloomy look appeared in her eyes. "What happened after that?"
"I walked into Fang Tao's room and saw that Fang Tao was dead. I was so scared that I just wanted to leave as soon as possible. I … I …" Wu Xinyi choked with sobs. "I was worried that the hotel's surveillance cameras would capture me, so I ran to the surveillance room and erased the footage."
Originally, Ye Zi thought that there would be some clues, but after hearing what Wu Xinyi said, not only was there no clues, but she also …
Shaking her head helplessly, Ye Zi sighed and said, "Are you willing to repeat what you said to the police?"
Wu Xinyi pursed her lips and looked a little hesitant.
Qin Fengchi patted Wu Xinyi's shoulder gently and whispered in her ear, "Xinyi, tell the police about this. You also want to know who killed Fang Tao. Just like what Ye Zi said, put it down and come out quickly."
After a moment of silence, Wu Xinyi nodded at Qin Fengchi.
Then, accompanied by Ye Zi and Qin Fengchi, Wu Xinyi walked into the Municipal Crime Squad.
It was getting late. Ye Zi sat in Chen Mo's office and watched the wind blowing outside through the window. After Qin Fengchi and Wu Xinyi left, Ye Zi didn't say a word. She just sat there, and no one knew what she was thinking.
After the meeting, Chen Mo returned to his office and walked straight to Ye Zi. "Little girl, what are you thinking about?"
Chen Mo's voice interrupted Ye Zi's thoughts. Ye Zi turned her head and said, "Nothing."
"You're still worried about Xiao Rou, aren't you?" Chen Mo handed a cup of hot tea to Ye Zi.
Ye Zi took the teacup and blew on it. The steam gradually rose. She took a sip of the tea and forced a faint smile. "Yes, it's been two days. If we still can't find the murderer, I'm worried that Xiao Rou will …"
"Don't worry. I watched you and Xiao Rou grow up. I believe she won't do such a thing." Chen Mo smiled to comfort Ye Zi.
Ye Zi nodded and said, "Brother Chen Mo, thank you."
"You don't need to thank me." Chen Mo looked at Ye Zi with a reproachful gaze.
Ye Zi smiled and put the teacup on Chen Mo's desk. "Okay, I won't say it again. This is what you should do. You're the people's police."
Looking at the time, Ye Zi said, "It's getting late. I have to go back. I don't know if Xiao Rou has eaten at home."
"You have to take good care of your body. It's only been two days, and you've lost a lot of weight." Chen Mo frowned. "You haven't eaten well these two days, have you?"
Ye Zi smiled bitterly. "I'll eat after we catch the murderer. From the evidence we have now, Xiao Rou is still the most suspicious. Wu Xinyi even erased the surveillance footage. Now, we have no clues at all. "
