Chapter 289 - Do You Want to Marry Me? (1) (1/2)

At 11 o’clock in the evening, Fanting Garden.

The cold wind of winter night was like a knife, and the collapsed building had become a ruin, revealing an inexplicable gloominess.

In order not to be discovered, Ah Guang parked the car in the ground parking lot of Phase III, and they walked to the site of the collapse accident.

Originally, Xu Youning was just behind Mu Sijue, but she was getting closer and closer to him.

Mu Sijue always disliked the closeness from others, so he looked at Xu Youning coldly, who then immediately smiled at him in a pitiful way. “Seventh Brother, I am a little scared.”

“Oh—” Mu Sijue sneered with disapproval, “is there still a thing that you Xu Youning is afraid of in this world?”

Xu Youning pointed to the ruins in front and said, “People died there! Have you heard that the souls of those people who unexpectedly died would stay for seven days…? Today is the second day! I don’t want to see ghosts…”

Mu Sijue did not believe in ghosts and G.o.ds, and naturally sneered at what she had just said, not even wanting to look at her again.

Outside the warning line at the scene of the accident, Mu Sijue gave Ah Guang a look, who quickly understood, and ran to the two policemen in a panic, shouting, “Police officer, police officer!”

The policeman heard the voice and stood up. “What’s wrong?”

“I, I, I live in the building over there!” Ah Guang pointed to a building of the third phase, “I just got home from work, parked the car downstairs and found out that the light in my room was lit, I think there might be a thief in my house!”

“The security job of this community has been performing well. I have never heard of thieves,” the police said, “did you forget to turn off the lights when you went out?”

“Impossible!” Ah Guang said firmly, “I went out in the morning, and did not turn on the lights before going out! The security of this community has done a good job so far, but now there’s a collapse accident. Who can guarantee that there will be no thieves taking the opportunity to mix in?”

After a pause, Ah Guang continued to say, “I originally wanted to call the police, but I am not sure if it is a false alarm. The security guard at the lobby told me that there are two police officers here, so I came to you. Can you accompany me to go up and check?”

The two policemen agreed to it with a slight indulgence, “Okay, let’s go check it with you. Anyway, there is nothing to protect in this scene, let’s just take a rest.”

“Thank you, officer!”

Ah Guang quickly led the police away; Mu Sijue pulled Xu Youning across the cordon and entered the scene of the accident.

Xu Youning put on the night vision goggles, clapped her hands, and looked like she was going to do something big. “Seventh Brother, what are we going to do?”

Mu Sijue looked around and said, “The reason why Lu Enterprises was identified as the responsible party, in addition to the confession throwing negative light to Lu Enterprises. Another reason is that there is no suspicious investigation on the scene.”

Xu Youning looked confused. “There are no suspicious things at the scene, so why are we still here in the middle of the night?”

“No suspicious things is what makes it the most suspicious,” Mu Sijue’s eyes were as sharp as blades, behind the night vision goggles, “The police must have ignored some key clues, we have to find out.”

“It must be the most common thing on the construction site, so that the police didn’t notice,” Xu Youning said, “So, the more common things are more suspicious! We have to think about it backwards!”

In the darkness, Mu Sijue put on a smile, which was difficult to tell whether she was appreciated or teased, “You aren’t stupid enough to be hopeless.”

Xu Youning made a face to him, and turned to find something.

She looked very carefully with her eyes, not letting go of any corner.

As she said, she also wanted to help Su Jianan, which was probably why Mu Sijue took her to the scene.

If she found the murderer, maybe she could help Su Jianan teach the guy how to be a good man!

However, Xu Youning never imagined that she would see such a thing—n.o.body knew about it, except for that person and a few people including her.

Not to mention a few buildings, it could destroy the entire community.

Xu Youning looked back at Mu Sijue subconsciously. He maintained a distance of no more than 6 meters from her, but he was not paying attention to her at the moment.

She had some chaos in her mind, but in the end, Xu Youning quickly picked things up and put them in her pockets.

The action was too quick and the palm seemed to have been cut, but she had no time to take care of it, she just made a fist to stop bleeding—this could provide a good excuse for her nervousness.

Then, Xu Youning was in a mess.

She seemed to be standing at the junction of two worlds and being pulled by two forces.

Which side should she be on?

Why was Mu Sijue the person who turned over the case for her father?

Why was her also the one framing Lu Enterprises?

Why did fate joke with her in such a way?

“Have you found anything?”

With the voice of Mu Sijue approaching, his footsteps were getting closer and closer.

Xu Youning spent two seconds to hide her emotions, stood up, and shook her head in disappointment. “Nothing.”

Mu Sijue did not suspect her, and raised his chin toward the distance. “Me neither, let’s go there and see.”

He walked in front, Xu Youning looked at his straight back which was terrifiying, and suddenly felt lucky that it was at night.
