Xiao Si frowned and said, “I understand where both of you are coming from. Luo Sang might just feel a little uncomfortable or squeamish. After all, she’s a prideful girl. It must have taken a lot of courage for her to speak to you about this in the first place. She might be a little disappointed that you lack faith in her father’s character.

“It won’t be easy to look into the matter, Xiao Si said. “There was too much controversy over that incident. Almost everyone was talking about it then. I’ve seen the comments online. Some people even said things like they wished they could execute the man themselves. Even the mayor of An City had to make a public statement about his position on the matter due to crowd pressure. If we don’t have convincing evidence, it’ll be impossible to open the case again. We wouldn’t want the Nian family to be implicated in the end.

“Yan Su’s not going home tonight? Nian Junting peeked over at her phone. “It wouldn’t be safe for you to sleep in the apartment by yourself. Come to the villa with me.

“What’s unsafe about it? I’m used to sleeping alone, Luo Sang replied in a low voice. She was still bothered about their earlier conversation.

“No one was there to worry about your safety last time. Nian Junting grabbed her hands and intertwined his fingers with hers. “If you don’t want to come to the villa, I can come over to your place tonight.
