Chapter 67: Love to the Depths (5)

  After a long while, Chu Yu Xuan put down the photo and looked up at Xian Huang's scorching gaze, smiling as he replied.

  "She is my junior fellow apprentice, and I'm delighted."

  Xian Huang slowly picked up his cup and finished the coffee inside before continuing to speak.

  "Mr. Chu didn't tell me the truth, did he? As far as I know, you were infatuated with Chen Xinyan during high school, how could you just gloss over it by calling her 'junior sister'? And last night around 1:30, when you came out of the villa district, you looked left and right cautiously. If you were just visiting a friend, why be so careful? Are you guilty of something? If Luo Qi finds out that you only consider her as a friend, won't she break up with you in anger?" The seemingly calm words struck Chu Yuxuan's spine with force.

  Chu Yuxuan was stunned for a long time, and then smiled lightly and explained.

  "Are you overthinking, senior? I did like Xinran in the past, but after pursuing her to no avail, it's only natural that I wouldn't want to mention it and lose face. Besides, she's not even around anymore, what's the point of bringing it up? Last night was indeed a late chat at my girlfriend's place, and as a lone person out in the middle of the night, one has to be extra careful. In today's society, all sorts of things can happen. As fellow police officers, you should understand me, shouldn't you?"

  "So five years ago, what was your intention when you asked Chen Xiran to the bar? Why would Luo Qi confess her feelings to you on her memorial day? That was a hidden poem, why did it take four years to publish every year on her memorial day, don't tell me it's just a coincidence. ... If you really liked Xiran, her soul has been trapped in water for five years! Are you heartbroken? In your midnight dreams, have you ever dreamed of her vengeful spirit coming to cry to you? A girl died like that in the cold winter water, don't you feel any fear or guilt? Even if you only liked her on a whim, as a police officer, you should know how important it is to give the deceased an explanation! I know everything isn't as simple as you said. You won't say, and I'll peel off layer by layer, investigating every detail! Heaven is fair, I don't want to be the one to send you to court, nor do I want you to live in endless nightmares for the rest of your life! A person without conscience is like a monkey that can't climb trees, with no joy in existence!" Xianhuan's words were like sharp beads, hitting Chu Yuxuan's heart one by one, not giving him any chance to explain or argue.

  Xian Huan didn't stay any longer after that. He stood up, pulled Xiao Yan and stepped past Chu Yu Xuan's side to leave...

  The words that Xianhao had just spoken still lingered in Chu Yuxuan's ears. Looking at the photo on the table of the rotting corpse with a happy expression, he was both frightened and extremely conflicted, as if there were two little people fighting and quarreling in his heart, one called humanity and the other called selfish desire.

  "Humanity!" cried, "Hold him fast! Tell him the truth! You can't go wrong again!"

  "I want to say, 'Don't admit it! The dead are already dead, you still have a hard-won new love and a boundless life waiting for you to spend! Can't give up these wonderful lives because of one dead person!"

  What should he do! He covered his head in agony, deeply burying it, at a loss. The terrifying dead face of Xin Ran floated in his mind, with a pair of vicious eyes staring at him on the disgusting face, as if telling the resentment in her heart! And in an instant, that face transformed into Lu Qi's desolate and beautiful smile... He didn't know how to face it, how to make a choice.

  At the same time, Hyun's heart was also extremely anxious.

  He's gambling! Gambling on whether his judgment is wrong, or if Xuyuxuan still has a shred of humanity left in him, or if he feels guilty towards Xinran.

  If Chu Yuxuan had held onto him, then everything would have been crystal clear!

  If Chu Yu Xuan hadn't pulled him back, then either Chu Yu Xuan was already cruel and heartless, or Xian Huang's train of thought was completely wrong!

  Time passed minute by minute, second by second. Xianhuan's footsteps didn't stop and he was about to pass by Chuyuxuan's side in the blink of an eye. The 'da-da' sound of his footsteps was exceptionally crisp.
