345 Why Indeed (2/2)

Mr. Ke smiled. ”It's nothing serious. I merely noticed that you share a good relationship with my son.”

”Are you asking me why I decided to approach Xiao Ke?” Luo Mingxin assumed a contemplative posture. He thought about it and smiled. ”Actually, it was merely out of curiosity… Uncle Ke, you shouldn't be so surprised. After all, it is not often that we have the chance to interact with an undercover plainclothes, especially not one like Xiao Ke. Naturally, I wanted to get to know him.”

”Just that, there's no ulterior motive?” Mr. Ke smiled politely. ”I am familiar with Xiao Han's capability, and I believe you won't be much less capable than that. I'll be forthright here, the case that my son is involved in is not something simple, and with your sensitive identity, you're approaching someone who is close to a case that is so sensitive. Don't you agree that this is too much of a coincidence?”

Luo Mingxin was silent for a moment, partly because he had not figured out how complicated Ye Shuang's identity really was, and also because he was feeling a bit curious about the things that Mr. Ke was insinuating. He tried to hold it in, but he could not help but blurt out, ”Mr. Ke, you're pulling my leg, aren't you? With Xiao Ke's capability, do you really think I'll believe that you've told him anything even close to being confidential?”

”…” Mr. Ke.

”Cough! Hey, watch what you're saying!” Han Chu reprimanded.

Birds of a feather flock together. Now Han Chu suddenly realized that there was a reason for Ye Shuang getting so close to Luo Mingxin. At least the honesty that they possessed was at the same level.

Luo Mingxin also realized how impolite he was, so he quickly smiled embarrassedly. ”That was a slip of the tongue. I hope you don't mind.”

”It's fine.” Mr. Ke also tried to be patient. ”Fine, then we'll move away from the thing with my son. Let's talk about the thing that happened yesterday, or at this moment, it should be the day before yesterday.

”Even though there were no cameras at the park, we did manage to find a few witnesses.”

Mr. Ke focused his sharp gaze on Luo Mingxin, refusing to let the smallest twitch of expression escape from his detection. ”And Mr. Ye, your face is still quite recognizable. There are a few witnesses that confirm that you were there, and I would like to ask, why is that?”

Indeed, why is that? No wait, what are we talking about now? Luo Mingxin, who was not involved in the incident, was completely baffled, and he turned subconsciously to Han Chu, who should belong to his camp.

Han Chu coughed again and calmly interrupted Mr. Ke's observation. ”Uncle Ke, lying for evidence is wrong. The witnesses wouldn't have been able to confirm that Xiao Ye was at the crime scene.”

Mr. Ke did not show any apology even after he was called out. He frowned and continued to stare at Luo Mingxin. He was indeed lying. If the man really had shown up at the crime scene, then there definitely would have been a shift in his expression or a dart of the pupils when he was suddenly posed that question. However, from the man's reaction, he appeared really innocent. There was no evasion in his reaction, and it really did look like he had no idea what he was referring to.

Therefore, without knowing what had happened, Luo Mingxin accidentally helped Ye Shuang clear her name.

There were two reasons for Mr. Ke wanting to visit Ye Shuang; one was to uncover the man's purpose for approaching his son, and the other was to clarify whether Ye Shuang was present at the scene of the attempted assassination or not. Since he had achieved both goals, after getting the answer, Mr. Ke naturally stood up to leave.

”Since it's already so late, I'm not going to disturb you anymore.” Standing up from the sofa, Mr. Ke announced his departure. ”If there's a need in the future, I might return for another visit, but of course, it'll be for the best if that doesn't happen.”

The confused Luo Mingxin stood up to accompany Han Chu to send the guest away. He was dumbfounded and even a little disappointed. That's all? What about the dark undercurrents and flashing of swords that I was promised?

After sending the man away, Han Chu turned around to look at Luo Mingxin, who had his head titled to the side. He scoffed and said, ”What kind of expression is that?”

Luo Mingxin frowned and turned to look at Han Chu, ”So, you're Xiao Ye's boss? I heard you're in the headhunting business, but what happened today sure is surprising.”

He had thought that it was because of her personality that Sister Shuang was the way she was, but today, he realized that it was actually environmental factors.

With such a dangerous working environment, how would Ye Shuang be a law-abiding citizen?

Finally understanding that the senior officer was referring to the assassination that happened earlier, Luo Mingxin instantly felt cold sweat sliding down his head.
