Perplexity

  I also have no way to answer Shao Yin's question, I'm afraid only Guan Xinyue herself knows the answer. I shook my head, "Perhaps it's because you two have the same aesthetic? Only ordinary people clash with clothes, but you two clashed with each other..."

  "How could you have such an idea? Why can't we just say that the two of us were enemies in our past lives?" Shaoyin gave me a white eye, thought for half a day very seriously, and shook his head very seriously: "No, I absolutely have no connection with her, and I haven't seen her before either. Forget it, thinking too much is a waste of brain cells. But you, why don't you go investigate her background? Investigate and tell me, I'm curious, what kind of person is she?"

  "I've already done that. But for the time being, I haven't received accurate information yet." I nodded my head. Although there was a smile on my face, but the doubts in my heart were getting heavier and heavier. Guan Xinyue was indeed a strange person.

  Shao Yin was about to enter her own room when she suddenly turned around and looked at me, saying: "By the way, guess what I saw when I went out today?"

  "Why don't you just say it, let me guess how many planets are in the banking system?" I rolled my eyes at Shao Yin, her question was too broad. Irritated, I said: "You didn't happen to see Ye Qing, did you? What a coincidence, I saw her today too, and she bought a lot of things."

  "You've seen her too? We two are really... lucky!" Shao Yin continued with a bad tone, "Such an unpredictable thing, and we actually encountered it. However, her mood is really great. No wonder, whoever's mood would be relaxed, all the problems don't exist, what's there to worry about? She can now be Mrs. Li in peace."

  Indeed, the person who benefited the most from this case was Ye Qing. But would she really be the murderer? The face of Ye Qing, which had already been marked by the passage of time, flashed before my eyes again. With motive, it's indeed worth suspecting, but with an almost perfect alibi, all suspicions could only remain as suspicions.

  This naturally made Shao Yin's mind unbalanced, and she muttered to herself: "After being busy for half a day, it seems like everyone got what they wanted! What I want is money, just money, anyway Li Cheng will compensate me, so what's there to regret? Ye Qing wants to live an ordinary life, then let her go, no big deal. Anyway, following someone like Li Cheng, she won't have a good life either. Without us, other women would still appear. After all, in this world, rich people don't lack young women who take the initiative to stick around."

  "Alright, think carefully again, is there anything else that has been missed?" I thought of the heavily made-up secretary again, perhaps she was Li Cheng's next target? But this was not spoken out loud, I just looked at Shao Yin helplessly, her fragile nerves could no longer withstand any stimulation. Perhaps, she needed to take a break anyway.

  "What you said is right, I'll take a rest." Shao Yin nodded and walked towards the bathroom, still waving her hand and smiling: "You say, shouldn't I close the door and have a good cry? Not for Li Cheng, but to mourn my own youth... it's just been wasted like this."

  Although Shao Yin concealed it well, one could imagine that her emotions were low. Perhaps, hearing Li Bin's news again was more distressing for her than Li Cheng leaving her. Li Bin had been her first love; after experiencing the coldness and warmth of the world, only that initial purity was unforgettable. It was precisely this consideration that made it impossible to tell her everything about Li Bin and Guan Xinyue. However, how could someone as intelligent as she not guess? She seemed to be talking to herself, yet also speaking to me: "Ah, there's a popular phrase going around called 'green tea bitch.' I should be classified under that category too; indeed, I'm a woman who loves money. But what about her? She's pretending to be chaste and noble, making herself seem like a virtuous widow. We're both mistresses, so who's more dignified than the other? Men always think the one they can't get is the best. Hmm, it's not bad; Li Bin will probably have some sleepless nights."

  I couldn't help but smile wryly and shake my head, watching her close the door. I then slightly shook my head again and sent an email to Qin Ming, hoping to get more information about Guan Xinyue from him. Unexpectedly, just as I had sent out the email, there was a knock at the door. Qin Ming was standing at the doorway with a smile on his face, holding a stack of printed materials and saying to me with a grin: "Hehe, I knew we two have a special connection. Take a look, I happened to be at your doorstep, didn't expect you'd deliver things right to my hands. Are...we going to talk here? Or go out and find somewhere to sit?"

  "Oh, Officer Qin has also arrived?" Hearing the commotion, Shao Yin walked out with a few more flirtatious smiles on her face, saying repeatedly: "What's going on? Should I step aside and let you two talk privately? Or..."

  "Why don't I invite Fang Xiaojie to go out and sit for a bit? Not far from here is a teahouse opened by my aunt, she specially gave me a private room." Qin Ming's face was filled with a big smile.

  Is this the legendary cold-faced policeman? Why can he always leave me speechless? I felt a bit helpless, but considering Shao Yin's emotional instability at the moment, and the potentially severe consequences if she were to get agitated, I agreed with Qin Ming's proposal.

  Shaoyin raised an eyebrow and glanced at us with a sly smile on her face. Without needing to ask, in her eyes, there should always be suitors by my side. It wasn't the time for explanations yet, so I hastily followed Qinming out of there.

  "Take a look at Shao Yin, and then take a look at you. You're clearly people from two different worlds. Why did you and she become good friends? Can't you tell us your story?" As I sat down in the teahouse, under the caring gaze of "Little Auntie" Qin Ming's eyes, her curious voice sounded again beside my ear.

  I gave him a white eye and said helplessly, "What's so strange about this? Radish and cabbage, each has its own love. She looks at me with favor, so she became friends with me. But you, how did you think of sending this material to me? Tell me about your discovery?"

  "Is this the legendary 'thick friends and light love'? Don't tell me you haven't discovered that I'm also a handsome guy? In such an elegant environment, with this tempting tea fragrance, can't you imagine us as a couple...?" Qin Ming was slightly carried away.
