Chapter 107 All of a Sudden (1/2)
In the Shen villa.
”Come here and let me rub it for you.” He sat on the sofa and held out his hand to her.
A Miao shot him a glare and sat a little further away.
When she came back from the university town yesterday, Shen Xinglan decided to give her a few days' leave. She could not even walk and really needed a good rest.
But...
”Don't touch me!” Seeing him leaning in, A Miao pushed him away.
Shen Xinglan clung to her. ”Don't move. Don't you want to walk?”
”Who did this to me?” A Miao glared at him.
If it weren't for him carrying her upstairs as soon as she returned to the villa, she would not have been so tired and slept in a daze and not woken up until noon today.
She was supposed to taking a leave of absence, but she was even more tired.
”Boss...”
Shen I came in with a strange expression. ”That policewoman is here.”
A Miao's body became stiff as she looked in horror at him.
Shen Xinglan scowled and caressed her waist. ”Relax, it's okay.”
”Zhou Xiao is also with her,” Shen I said.
”I don't want to see her. I'm going upstairs,” said A Miao with a cold face.
”I'll carry you up.” After saying this, Shen Xinglan picked her up by the waist. When A Miao saw Shen I, she squeezed her eyes, blushing red, and buried her head tightly against Shen Xinglan's shoulder.
”I'll take care of it, you don't have to worry about it.” Shen Xinglan took her back to her room. ”I'll call you when they're gone.”
A Miao nodded, but still said with uneasiness, ”I think that Ling Lang should come after us. She has always doubted me.”
Shen Xinglan nibbled her lips, ”I am here.”
Downstairs, Ling Lang along with Zhou Xiao and several policemen stood in the living room. When she saw Shen Xinglan coming down, not only she, but also several male policemen blushed a little.
”How can a man look like this?” One of them whispered and was glared at by Ling Lang, and lowering his head, he did not dare utter another word.
As for Zhou Xiao, her starry-eyed look made Shen I nearby feel nauseous.
”Mr. Shen, I'm sorry to disturb you!” Ling Lang got straight to the point and said, ”This lady has accused you of murder and torturing people.”
She pointed to Zhou Xiao. ”Do you know her, Mr. Shen?”
”No.” Zhou Xiao felt ashamed and resentful because of Shen Xinglan's arrogant eyes. She could not help shouting, ”Nonsense, I am a friend of A Miao's, we grew up together. We have seen each other before!”
Ling Lang looked at Shen Xinglan as if waiting for him to explain.
Shen Xinglan smiled scornfully. ”If I recognized seeing her, then I simply wouldn't go out.”
”You...” Zhou Xiao was short of breath. ”You've been to my house.”
Shen Xinglan ignored her and looked at Ling Lang. ”Is there anything further, Officer Ling?”
”In that case, we have offended you.” Ling Lang handed the search warrant to Shen Xinglan. ”Please cooperate, Mr. Shen. According to Miss Zhou's testimony, your house has a torture room full of illegal instruments of torture. Do you mind if we search for it?”
”Did she say that?” Shen Xinglan's eyes narrowed.
Zhou Xiao shivered and hid behind Ling Lang.
”We also work properly. Please...”
”Yes.” Shen Xinglan interrupted her. ”I also hope Officer Ling works smoothly,” he lifted the corners of his mouth meaningfully, ”but... you can't go upstairs.”
Ling Lang frowned, just wanting to say something, but then heard Shen Xinglan say,
”The righthand room is out of the question. My fiancee is not feeling well and is resting.”
”I know.” Ling lang nodded.
After saying this, Shen Xinglan went up to the second floor, leaving only Shen I to stare at them.
Ling Lang's subordinates focused on searching the rooms on the first floor. Zhou Xiao complained to her, ”Why did you promise him? Maybe it's inside that room.”
”Didn't you say you woke up in a dark stone room and didn't see any windows? Do you think a room on the second floor would have no windows?”
Zhou Xiao was shocked. A Miao stayed in a room with a large French window.
”Then you should look for it quickly. I'm still waiting to go home.” She said, curling her lip.
Ling Lang looked at her with her head tilted. ”You can go by yourself now, or you can sit off to the side and not speak. Otherwise, I don't mind taking another statement from you to talk about why Shen Xinglan wanted to grab you.”
”Hello!? I am the victim!” Zhou Xiao shot her a glare. ”If you can't find anything, will it be all right?”
”If you are willing to tell the whole story, I can consider taking you back to investigate with Shen Xinglan.” Ling Lang stopped talking to her.
Zhou Xiao sat aside with a cold face. After a while, several policemen returned.
”Ling team...”
Ling Lang scowled. ”Nothing?”
”No.” One of the policemen shook his head. ”I have looked everywhere; on the walls, on the floor, any possible trapdoors. There is no doubt.”
At this time, Shen I came up and asked with a smile, ”Do you want me to turn on the lights to look again?”
”No.” Ling Lang pursed her mouth. ”Please tell Mr. Shen that this was our mistake. I hope he doesn't take offense. Let's go.”
