208 Are You Prepared? (2/2)

”Sigh.” She sat in front of the desk for a while and sighed mournfully before leaving the room.

She peered at the floor with puffy eyes as she walked out of the room. Coincidentally, Yan Rusheng was just leaving his study as well.

But Xuxu didn't notice Yan Rusheng as she shut the door silently behind her.

Yan Rusheng was about to walk towards her when his phone rang.

He sneaked a peek at Xuxu before returning to his study.

The cellphone was on his desk, and after glancing at the screen, it made him narrow his malicious-looking eyes.

He answered the call and placed it by his ear.

A person spoke up on the other line. ”Third Yan, I've checked the background of the culprit. He's a fugitive on the run, currently wanted by the public security bureau of Cheng Zhou City for committing robbery and murder. Before the accident happened, he deposited half a million yuan into his wife's bank account.”

When he heard this, Yan Rusheng turned livid as he pressed his fingers on the table. His fingernails left scratches on its surface.

”Alright, I got it,” he responded coldly. ”Help me check on a person's whereabouts a few days before the accident too...”

She caught a whiff of tobacco and furrowed her brows. Before she even had the time to think, a familiar face appeared right in front of her.

Yan Rusheng leaned lazily against the door frame. The top buttons on his white shirt were unfastened, and the shirt was hanging loosely on his body. His muscular chest was revealed as he held a lighted cigarette in his hand.
