Chapter 193 (2/2)

In actuality, he too had long wanted to remove the Zhang Family. As long as the Zhang Family collapsed, he would be able to dominate the real estate business in Star City. He realized that Tang Xiu had seen through him. But even though Tang Xiu was taking the lead for the plan, he would be happy as long as the Zhang Family was ruined.

However, he was quite shocked inside. He didn’t expect that Tang Xiu, who had just participated in College Entrance Test, could have such powerful personal contacts. From this aspect only, he was inferior. Otherwise, he would have dealt with the Zhang Family by himself.

Lunch time had come, but Long Hanwen and Long Zhengyu didn’t stay. They hurriedly left to rush to Lakeview Manor to arrange for the secret meeting tonight.

“Tang Xiu, policemen are visiting outside.”

Mu Qingping came to Tang Xiu’s bedroom and whispered.

The police?

Tang Xiu had long expected the police would come, but he didn’t expect it would be this fast. However, nowadays everything needed definite evidence. Moreover, he also believed he killed those three assassins cleanly. As long as Wolf Head didn’t sell him out, the police wouldn’t be able to find his involvement in the case.

“Alright, I’ll see them!” Tang Xiu quickly answered.

At the hall on the first floor.

Cheng Xuemei and a young police officer of the Criminal Division were sitting in the living room, waiting. The tea had been served, but they didn’t take it.

“Captain Cheng?”

Tang Xiu pretended to be surprised upon seeing Cheng Xuemei.

Cheng Xuemei stood up and looked at Tang Xiu with an indifferent expression as she said, “Mr. Tang, we’re sorry to disturb you. We’re investigating a homicide case that happened in front of South Gate Town’s front entrance. When we saw the CCTV footage, we found that you’re also living here. We want to find out the situation from you, so I hope you can cooperate with us.”

“Certainly.” Tang Xiu said with a smile.

“We’ve seen from the footage that you left the villa complex yesterday afternoon and quickly came back. May I ask whether you came out again after that?” Cheng Xuemei asked.

“No. After going out and coming back yesterday, I read some books and slept. I didn’t go out of the villa even a half step after that.” Tang Xiu shook his head and said.

“May I ask for what purpose did you go out yesterday?” Chen Xuemei asked.

“I accompanied my apprentice to buy tutoring and homework books. The stationery shop’s owner nearby the commercial street can prove my testimony.” Tang Xiu said.

Cheng Xuemei knitted her brows as she asked again, “You haven’t heard that there was a murder in front of the villa complex’s entrance?”

“I heard it from a friend who came visiting and stayed here yesterday. Three people were killed by gunshots, right? But, I’m really clueless though. You—the police force, should have been a deterrent force, but how come you’re stooping so low now? There have been a lot of murder cases recently in Star City, and this big responsibility is yours to take.”

Cheng Xuemei was truly helpless inside. She already knew that finding Tang Xiu wouldn’t result in any effect whatsoever, not even the tiniest clues or tracks could be gotten from him.

This guy… was unlike a young man, but more like a cunning old fox.

Soon after, Cheng Xuemei asked a few more questions, only to turn more desperate, since there was nothing to find. She looked at Tang Xiu and said, “Alright, I’m done with the questions. Thank you for your cooperation. Anyway, we bid you farewell as we still have more work to do.”

“Ah, why the hurry, Captain Cheng? How’s about having dinner first? I guarantee that my housekeeper’s culinary skills are first-class. Her cooking will make your appetite go wild and drive you to eat greedily.” Tang Xiu said with a smile.

Cheng Xuemei was quite incensed and amused at the same time as she said, “You think I still have the time to stay here for dinner? The case is beating me black and blue, and I even got no time to sleep since yesterday. But to think that you have a housekeeper, the changes you have undergone in the last two months are really great.”

“People need to move forward. The small business I’ve made recently got me some money. Otherwise, what you see me now wouldn’t make you feel this is the first time we meet each other, no?” Tang Xiu said with a smile.

Cheng Xuemei recalled the scene when she first met Tang Xiu. She immediately nodded and said, “You’re good. You can share your mother’s worries and do everything you can to be successful. Anyways, thanks for tutoring my younger sister.”

“We’re classmates, we ought to love each other.” Tang Xiu waved and replied.

Love each other?

Cheng Xuemei stared at Tang Xiu with a strange look. She kind of had the feeling that there was another meaning in this line. Could there be something between him and her little sister…

Her heart jolted and sped up. She stared at Tang Xiu seriously and asked, “You and my sister, shouldn’t the two of you be related as pure classmates only?”

“Nope!” Tang Xiu shook his head and said.

Chang Xuemei’s complexion changed, and her tone became stern and severe as she asked with a sinking tone, “What’s your relationship with her? My sister is still young, it’s not the time for her to have such a puppy love!”

Tang Xiu was at a loss whether he had to laugh or cry, “Huh? I said we’re not just classmates because we’re friends, comrades. What do you think we’re doing? Even if I ever liked a woman, I wouldn’t be interested in such a little girl like her, no? But you, you actually fit my standard though. What if you wait for me a few years, until I graduated from the college, to marry me and give me a child?”
