606 Getting Sensitive (1/2)

Ying's eyes were constantly observing Zhou Jinhai's expression and she could see how he stiffened after hearing her remark. Trying to appear casual, however, he rubbed his earlobe and said, ”Is he a fan of her?” But before she could say anything, he denied the possibility of his own statement, ”No. If he is a fan, he wouldn't even know about me. That won't be right. Did he know her personally?”

”Yes, it seems he knew her very personally,” replied Ying calmly. ”And when I say very, I mean very very personally.”

”But Chen Xiu didn't have any friends. She was the most anti-social celebrity. How did your boyfriend come to know her personally? Why don't I know about that?”

”You didn't even know that Chen Xiu had any kind of relationship with your own brother. How would you know about my boyfriend?”

Zhou Jinhai opened his mouth but couldn't retort. He indeed didn't know anything about Chen Xiu and Darren. It was only after Chen Xiu's death that he learned about how his own brother knew Chen Xiu. And boy, was that a shocker!

”If we leave my brother out of this, I am certain that I knew everyone from Chen Xiu's personal circle. Because it consisted of a limited number of people. Who are you talking about exactly?” Somehow, Chen Xiu's name had piqued his interest to learn about Ying's boyfriend even more.

Ying smiled slyly as she said, ”He says he was the closest person to Chen Xiu. He also claims that no one knew Chen Xiu better than him.”

”You're talking about Han Bohai?”

Ying's brows quirked up, ”How did you guess that?”

”It's really no rocket science. Especially because there is only one person who can claim to know Chen Xiu and that would be her assistant/brother, Han Bohai. I didn't even have to think hard, it's that obvious.” He took a pause before adding, ”And let me add that Chen Xiu always announced on her sets that Han Bohai is brother, not her assistant. She did it so that no one goes to find trouble with him thinking that he is just an assistant.”

Ying nodded her head as she confirmed one thing that Han Bohai was right; he certainly was the closest one to his Sister Xiu. So, he wasn't bragging. He indeed had a very special brotherly affection for Chen Xiu.

”No wonder he gets so sentimental,” remarked Ying.

”I'll be surprised if he didn't get sentimental.”

”Jini...”

”Hm?”

”My boyfriend says, just because it's suicide doesn't mean there was no killer.” He noticed the way his jaw tensed up at her words. ”That made me think a lot... The way you, Regi, or Hedi react to Chen Xiu's death, it really makes me wonder if there is a killer.”

”Not every murderer likes to get his hands dirty with blood,” was the only reply Zhou Jinhai gave in a bitter way.

”I know,” answered Zhou Jinhai in a calm voice.

”You know? I think you don't know!” Ying's voice turned sharp but because of the music, no one could hear them in this secluded corner. ”Zizi isn't some nice guy. He'll shred the culprits into tiny pieces!”
