Chapter 69: The Truth (Part 1)

  As she watched Li Jing's figure disappear around the corner of the dormitory building, Su Jin'er let out a sigh. Li Jing's sudden departure would only make her more suspicious of her. If this Li Jing wasn't a police officer, then Su Jin'er couldn't help but admire her caution. But now, she seemed to be full of loopholes, leaving people puzzled.

  She shook her head and turned back to the dormitory. The criminal police team has arrived, so this case should be over now!

  She felt very tired, not physically tired, but mentally exhausted.

  Back to the dormitory, Lin Yuan was still sleeping, but Li Yi Qian was nowhere to be seen. She pushed open the bathroom door and looked inside, but didn't find her figure. Just now she and Li Jing were downstairs, if Li Yi Qian went downstairs, she must have seen her, but she hadn't seen her.

  Su Jiner patted Lin Yuan: "Xiao Yuan, it's noon, let's go eat!"

  Lin Yuan moved slightly but didn't get up, and said softly: "Jin'er, I'm so tired, you go eat!"

  "Uh-huh! Then you sleep a bit longer, I'll bring food back for you in a while."

  "Hmm!"

  Su Jiner walked to her desk, took out a mirror and took a look. Her eyes were slightly puffy, her complexion was a bit pale, but it didn't have much of an impact. She smiled at herself in the mirror, then changed into a white coat and walked out of the dormitory.

  She called Chu Fei Fan, which was what he had specifically entrusted her with when they parted ways, although she didn't want to disturb his rest.

  "Hey! Jin'er, are you awake?" Upon hearing Chu Fei Fan's gentle voice, her originally somewhat irritated heart suddenly calmed down a lot.

  "Hmm! Am I disturbing you?"

  "No, I'm getting up too."

  Su Jiner knew he was deceiving her, because his voice was too lazy, and she could still hear the sound of him getting dressed.

  She didn't expose him: "I'll wait for you in the small pavilion."

  Chu Fei Fan smiled and said: "Okay, I'll be right there."

  Su Jiner slowly walked towards the pavilion, it had been more than half a year since she entered this school, but before she could even experience university life, she was drawn into a murder case. Looking at the students coming and going in the campus, looking at this familiar yet seemingly strange environment, a sense of desolation rose to her heart. Those lives that had just begun to bloom disappeared on this land, without even knowing how they died. She raised her head to gaze at the azure sky, the sunlight was already somewhat piercing, but they could no longer see it.

  "Su Jin'er!"

  A familiar voice brought her back to reality, she narrowed her eyes and stared at the girl in front of her with thick makeup.

  "What? You don't recognize me so soon?"

  "Xu Lingling?"

  "Oh! You still remember me! I thought you'd have forgotten about me, being a noble with so many things on your mind!" Xu Lingling crossed her arms over her chest, looking at Su Jin'er with an air of superiority.

  Su Jiner smiled and said, "You won't be looking for me just to confirm if I've forgotten you, will you?"

  Although Xu Lingling spoke in a sharp tone, she knew that she was also afraid of herself. She remembered from psychology that the action of crossing her arms over her chest was an unconscious protective gesture, which might not even be known to the person doing it.

  "Of course not, I just came to tell you that Chu Fei Fan and I are set, if you know what's good for you, then back off automatically."

  Su Jiner smiled and said: "Chu Feifan is a human being, he has the right to choose who to be with, it's not something that can be decided by just the two of us. So if you really like him, then you should win his heart, let him willingly accept you, instead of showing off to me and asking me to back down. You doing this will only make me think that you - don't have confidence in winning his heart."

  "You——" Xu Lingling glared at her angrily, then sneered and said: "Then let's wait and see! Who loses or wins is not certain yet!"

  "I don't want to compete with you, if Chu Fei Fan chooses you, I am willing to withdraw."

  "This is what you said, remember your words today!" Xu Lingling said, turned around and left.

  Watching her wear high heels of at least ten inches, she was really worried that she would sprain her ankle walking so fast.

  Xu Lingling had just left when Chu Feifan appeared. He seemed to have run over, with a layer of fine sweat on his forehead.

  "Why are you running so fast?"

  "I'm afraid you'll be kept waiting! By the way, it's also a good chance to exercise." Chu Feifan smiled with his mouth open.

  "Idiot!" Su Jiner looked back and said: "Where's Zuo Yi?"

  "He said he was tired and still sleeping, Lin Yuan wouldn't be sleeping too, would he?"

  "Yes! The two of them are indeed a match made in heaven."

  "What about us?"

  "Us? We're friends! Ah, right, you and A Lian..."

  "Nothing happened between us." Chu Fei Fan said tensely.

  "Why are you so nervous? I haven't finished speaking yet?"

  "Oh!" Chu Fei Fan lowered his head, he was actually very afraid that Su Jin Er would mention this matter. Although nothing had happened between him and Ah Lian, they had still held a wedding ceremony in front of everyone, even though it wasn't voluntary on his part. He was still afraid that Jin Er would mind.

  Seeing Chu Fei Fan's unnatural expression on her face, she changed the subject: "Just now Li Jing came to bid me farewell and also said some words of warning."

  "Is she saying goodbye to you? Why?"

  They left the small pavilion and headed towards the school cafeteria.

  "She said it was because the criminal police team had arrived, so she didn't need to be here anymore, and also told me not to talk nonsense about things I don't know or am unclear about."

  "Is she doing this just to make us more suspicious of her, or does she have another purpose?"

  Su Jiner shook her head: "Forget it, let's go eat first! Maybe the police from the criminal police team will come soon."

  "Hmm! But that kid Gai Zhe is quite efficient in handling things!" His voice was filled with obvious amusement.

  Su Jiner turned her head and looked at him, only now did she see the bloodshot eyes and slightly dark circles under his eyes.

  "Didn't you sleep just now?"

  "I slept, how could I not sleep!" Chu Fei Fan awkwardly smiled. He couldn't tell her that after he went back, he had been thinking about the whole case and what Chu Bu Fan told him, and it wasn't until she called him that he just fell asleep!

  "Right, are we going to the cafeteria?" Chu Feifan suddenly reacted and asked.

  "Right!"

  "Let's go out to eat! The food in the cafeteria is not good." He was so hungry he could have eaten a whole cow, and the school cafeteria food was neither nutritious nor tasty, it was better to go to a small restaurant outside.

  Su Jiner thought for a moment and said, "Okay!"

  In those few days in the small village they hardly ate anything, and the only thing that was a little better to eat was on the morning of Arin's death.

  They went to a restaurant outside the school and ordered a few small dishes. Su Jin'er glanced at the clock on the wall, it was already 12:15.

  She picked up a disposable cup from the table and slowly took a sip of water, this was her first time having dinner alone with Chu Fei Fan, she felt a little nervous, and could only use drinking tea to cover it up.

  When the boss brought up the dishes they had ordered, she had already finished a whole cup of water. Chu Fei Fan couldn't help but smile as he looked at her slightly flushed cheeks.

  "What are you laughing at?"

  "Oh! Nothing, just feel like it's been a long time since I've had such a quiet meal, feeling very happy now!"

  Su Jin'er furrowed her brow, shouldn't this be her line?

  "Alright, let's eat quickly! There are still two lazy people waiting for us to deliver their meals!"

  Actually, he didn't want her to eat quickly. At this moment, he only hoped that this meal would never end, and even let time stay in this moment forever.

  Just as they were about to finish eating, the criminal police team arrived. They packed up the food to take away and left the restaurant after paying.

  Back in the schoolyard, they met the people from the criminal police team and Ge Ya Ze, who smiled as he introduced them.

  "Extraordinary! This is Xiāng Yǒngliàng, Captain Xiāng, whom I often mention to you."

  Chu Fei Fan walked over and politely shook hands with Captain Xing: "Hello, Captain Xing!"

  "Hello! You must be Chairman Chu's second son! Indeed a talented and handsome young man!"

  Looking at Captain Xing's smiling face and gentle demeanor, Su Jin'er felt a lot of weight lifted off her shoulders. She had originally thought that the people in the criminal police team were all very serious, especially the captain.

  "It's Su Jiner!" Ge Yaze pointed at Su Jiner who was still in a daze.

  Su Jiner walked over and shook hands with her too: "Captain Xing!"

  Captain Xing smiled and also said hello to her, then said: "I need you to tell me everything you know."

  "Uh-huh! We will definitely cooperate and hope to catch the culprit as soon as possible."

  "Don't you know who the murderer is?" asked Captain Xing.

  "The murderer might be Chu Bu Fan, which is my brother," said Chu Fei Fan.

  Xing Yongliang furrowed his brow and said, "Alright! You guys finish what you're doing now, and we'll find a convenient place to sit down and talk."

  He finished speaking and pointed at the dishes still being held in Chu Fei Fan's hands.

  Chu Fei Fan nodded awkwardly: "Zuo Yi and Lin Yuan also know some of the situation, so let's go get them."
