26 Interrogation (2/2)
”What was the exact route you took from the moment you left the apartment?” Dongmei followed up right away as if she already had all the questions planned.
Hearing her, Wuxing cursed right away in his mind, 'Fuck… Now I can't hide it from her… She is too slick…' He wanted to at least hide the guns from her, but now it seemed impossible.
”Tell me,” Dongmei called out seeing his hesitation. She wouldn't back away when she finally hit the nail in the right spot.
”I climbed up onto the roof, went down the emergency stairs, sneaked out when the receptionist wasn't looking, looked around the staff building before going to the docks and came back,” Wuxing explained his route vaguely, hoping that it was enough, but that only made Dongmei more suspicious. Wuxing wouldn't hesitate if that was only this.
”How did you pass all the guards and checkpoints?” Dongmei asked further, seeking for his secrets.
Wuxing shrugged, entered the kitchen and said after picking up an apple, ”I pretended to be a guard. Not many of them know me yet,” before giving it a juicy bite.
”But even with that, they wouldn't allow you enter the staff building without authorisation.” Dongmei followed after him and took away the apple from him, giving it a small bite as well, before saying, ”How did you get in?”
”I convinced the guard to let me inside, telling I lost the entry card. After that it was easy. My goal was to find the surveillance room and I found it after walking randomly for a bit.” Wuxing answered more than she asked because he knew she will ask more. He was basically on her mercy right now and there was nothing he could do.
Just as Dongmei wanted to follow up with another question, Wuxing added, ”I also found Long Qing and beat him up.”
”What? Really?” Dongmei finally smiled for the first time since she started the interrogation but quickly hid it, so that he won't see.
”Yeah, he is still alive though. Maybe he will visit the hospital later. You don't need to bother with him. I will take care of him later.” Wuxing smiled, assuring her and took the apple away from her, biting on the same spot she did, before shamelessly giving it back to her.
”Mhmm…” Dongmei nodded before asking the last ultimate question to sum everything up, ”Is there anything you didn't tell me and you are intentionally hiding from me?” If he was hiding anything from her, she would know.
Nodding with his head, Wuxing pulled out the electric card from his pocket and gave it to her, ”Yes, I also stole this card.”
”Wow, you even got the access card. The more I listen to your feats, the more amazed I am.” Dongmei looked at the card in wonder before giving it back to him with a smile. She wasn't mad at him for leaving the apartment but for not telling her that he will. If he wanted, she would even give him her own card. He just needed to ask her.
Dongmei held onto Wuxing's cheeks and rubbed them with her thumbs, saying, ”Listen to me, next time you plan to leave, I want to know about it, you hear me? If you leave without telling me, I will kick you out.” She acted like a doting girlfriend, but her words didn't match her actions.
Wuxing imitated her by gently rubbing her cheeks as well, leaning over and causing their noses to almost touch, he whispered, ”Alright…” before teasing, ”Is that the moment when we should kiss?”
