Chapter 450: Embarrassnt (Chapter 449) – Part 4(1)
Ye Xiong had always thought that Murong Ruyin was cold and proud, and was completely caught off guard by her show of such agitation.
Perhaps sensing that she had grown too excited, Murong Ruyin took a deep breath and only after a long while did she calm down, “Do you want to leave? I can go right now.”
“That’s not what I an. I just want you to prove it, because there are two points of suspicion that make you the pri suspect.”
“What suspicions?”
“First, the killer once entered your office, had the key to your office; secondly, the killer is the sa height as you.”
“The lock to my office, not to ntion an expert, even a regular thief could pick it with a piece of wire; as for height, there are countless people in Huaxia of my height. Are you suspecting just because of this?”
...
“The killer is very familiar with the company’s situation.”
“That only proves that soone leaked the company’s information.”
“Alright, as long as you can prove you have an alibi, you can clear your suspicion,” said Ye Xiong.
“I was at the mall just now.”
“What did you do at the mall?”
“Shopped.”
“What did you buy?” Ye Xiong instinctively asked.
“Do I have to say it?”
“If it were the police, they would ask the sa thing.”
Murong Ruyin walked into the room and after a mont, ca out with a bag and threw it in front of him, “See for yourself.”
Ye Xiong opened the bag, and upon seeing the contents, he imdiately felt embarrassed.
In his hands was a pack of sanitary pads.
He quickly stuffed the pads back into the bag, awkwardly saying, “You could’ve just told , there was no need to show .”
“I was afraid you would think I was lying; facts speak louder than words.”
Murong Ruyin’s face grew hot with blush, spreading across her cheeks and adding a flush of color to her already stunning face, like gilding the lily, it made her look even more beautiful.
At this mont, she was like a fairy who had descended to the Mortal Realm, making her seem much more approachable.
Although she was often cold, she was still a woman, and having a man know she was on her period was sowhat embarrassing.
“If I rember correctly, there’s a receipt from the mall in there with the ti on it. If you still don’t believe , you can check the mall’s video footage,” Murong Ruyin said, her cheeks flushed.
Ye Xiong took out the receipt and checked it.
The ti indicated on the receipt from a mall several kiloters away coincided with the ti the company was attacked; if that was indeed the case, the killer could certainly not be Murong Ruyin.
“I’ve disturbed you, I’ll head back now.” Ye Xiong was ready to leave.
“Wait a minute.”
“Is there sothing else?” Ye Xiong asked.
“My father said that you’re the most outstanding young man he has ever t, which is why he entrusted to your care. I trust my father’s judgnt; he’s not wrong about people. But even the most outstanding people can make mistakes. I hope you’ll be more objective when you’re judging soone in the future. Often the person you trust the most could be the one who betrays you,” Murong Ruyin said.
“Thanks for the advice,” Ye Xiong prepared to leave but added on a whim, “Don’t wash with cold water, don’t eat cold food, don’t stand in the wind…”
These were all precautions won were advised to take during their periods, but he soon realized that his words were unnecessary.
Murong Ruyin was the Divine Doctor; such simple knowledge surely did not require his reminder.
Murong Ruyin glared at him deathly.
One who says such things is a hoodlum.
Ye Xiong beat a hasty retreat.
He ngji was waiting downstairs; seeing him co out, she asked eagerly, “How did it go?”
“Let’s check if Murong Ruyin truly has an alibi.”
Next, the two of them headed straight to the mall where Murong Ruyin had been shopping and located the surveillance center to obtain the security footage.
The footage showed that Murong Ruyin had indeed been there shopping, and the ti matched the tistamp on the receipt.
“Her face is covered, how can we know if it’s really her?” He ngji asked doubtfully.
“It’s definitely her.”
Ye Xiong watched her every move for a long while before saying, “An appearance can be faked, but an indifferent attitude can’t be. Look at the way she moves her eyes.”
He ngji looked closely and after a while, she said, “It should be her.”
“Now we can prove that she isn’t the murderer.”
“We can’t rule out the possibility that she’s an accomplice,” He ngji suggested.
The two returned to the car and sat in a daze.
If the murderer isn’t Murong Ruyin, then we’ve hit a dead end.
Who could the murderer be?
“Do you think it’s possible that it’s soone from the Beast Organization?” He ngji asked.
“Besides the people from the Beast Organization, I can’t think of anyone else with the guts to target ,” Ye Xiong said coldly.
“Based on the current situation, there is definitely a mole inside our company, maybe more than one.”
He ngji felt a defeated sensation; it was indeed daunting to face the mbers of the Beast Organization, who appeared out of nowhere, indestructible, and innurable.
“If it were soone else, I wouldn’t be afraid, but I’m worried that one of our core mbers has been turned.”
These core mbers all had a close relationship with him, and he truly didn’t want to face a life-and-death struggle with them one day.
“Let’s analyze who might be the mole. The current core mbers, including Duanmu Linglong who joined today, co to a total of eight: it’s you, Chen Xiao, Vermilion Bird, Angel, An Le, Thirteen, Murong Ruyin, and Duanmu Linglong.”
“Aside from you, I can’t fully trust anyone right now,” Ye Xiong sighed.
“What do we do now?”
“The other party is likely trying to make us fall into disarray and distrust each other. I’m going to act as if nothing has happened. I want to see who can keep their cool,” Ye Xiong stated coldly.
“Since they didn’t succeed this ti, they will certainly make another move. We’ll just wait and catch the culprit.”
After that, Ye Xiong drove He ngji back to her apartnt, and then he headed ho.
All the way, he thought about the evening’s events, but no matter how hard he tried, he couldn’t make sense of it.
When he turned onto a familiar road, he recognized it.
Wasn’t this the road where he and Yang Xiaoqiao had walked and talked the night before?
That corner wall was precisely where they had passionately kissed the previous night.
A surge of boldness filled Ye Xiong’s heart.
The hard-earned serene life that had just settled down—anyone who dared disturb it was going to pay a steep price.
Up ahead was that sa sentintal bar.
Ye Xiong drove up to the place, aiming to have a quiet drink there before going back ho.
Today the bar was especially quiet; there wasn’t a single custor in the entire place.
Guo Furong was playing with her phone at the bar when she saw a custor co in. Startled for a mont, she smiled and said, “Young man, which beauty are you eting with tonight?”
“Tonight, I wanted to co and have a drink with Sister Furong and chat. I wonder if Sister would grace with her presence?” Ye Xiong leaned on the bar top, his eyes smoldering as he gazed at her.
“Aren’t you afraid your little lover will find out and be unhappy?” Guo Furong chuckled.
“How do you know she’s my lover, not my girlfriend?” Ye Xiong asked with a smile.
“In my eyes, a lover is a girlfriend, and a girlfriend is a lover; there’s no difference,” Furong said with a smile.
“Really?”
