1605 Testing Xia Mingcheng
After what had happened, which couldn’t be explained with science, Xia Mingcheng now half-believed in so things. Hence, when he heard the young lady’s words, his face changed drastically. He couldn’t figure out what rotten peach blossom he had provoked.
Xia Mingcheng didn’t ask, but he took her words to heart. He casually ordered a cup of coffee and was about to ask why she was looking for him, but couldn’t rember how to address her.
Chi Shuyan seed to know what he was thinking and said, “My surna is Chi!”
Xia Mingcheng nodded. “Miss Chi, why have you looked for today?”
Chi Shuyan got straight to the point and didn’t keep him in suspense. “I want to learn more about Miss Yuan from you. What do you think of her?”
When Xia Mingcheng heard this question, his expression was a bit strange, but he quickly replied, “Actually, Yuan Yuan and I aren’t that close. She’s Liling’s friend. Linling should be more…” Familiar. Before he could utter the last word, he seed to rember that Liling was dead. For a mont, he lost his composure. His hand trembled and he almost spilled the coffee he was holding, but he quickly cald down. “Sorry!”
Chi Shuyan could tell from this answer that the other party was an extrely reserved person. He likely kept everything, including his feelings, to himself.
Chi Shuyan actually didn’t like this sort of especially reserved person. It was fine if they had a strong ntality, but if they weren’t ntally strong enough and couldn’t take it, they could easily fall into depression.
Chi Shuyan didn’t want to jab his sore spot, but there were so things she had to figure out before she could save them, such as finding out what Yang Ji and the others had provoked.
Also, when everyone left the police station, she didn’t forget that only Xia Mingcheng and Yuan Yuan had their shadows, unlike the others. At first, she imdiately suspected the two of them.
But seeing Xia Mingcheng today and looking at his physiognomy, she guessed that he likely had nothing to do with this matter, but it was definitely related to him.
Chi Shuyan hesitated for a mont before she asked directly, “I heard from Yang Ji and the others that you had an especially good relationship with your girlfriend. Were the two of you as close with Yuan Yuan?”
Xia Mingcheng’s face was a bit unsightly at that mont; he obviously didn’t want to answer the question. After looking at her a few tis, he still nodded and said coldly, “Mm, Liling and I were already planning to get married. As for our relationship with Yuan Yuan, my girlfriend was closer to her! I don’t know anything else!”
Chi Shuyan ignored the other party’s cold tone and continued, “Did you invest in a movie for your girlfriend back then?”
Xia Mingcheng’s face was stiff and unsightly. He pursed his lips tightly, as if he was extrely repulsed by this topic. Chi Shuyan pretended not to see his livid face, and continued naturally, “Actually, I ran into your girlfriend once before. I have to say that you have good taste. Miss Yan had a particularly good personality and even took the initiative to talk to !”
Sure enough, as soon as she said that, Xia Mingcheng’s complexion improved a lot. It was just that when he thought of Yan Liling’s death, his face was still especially pale and he was especially silent. After a while, he said in a daze, “Mm, Liling had an especially good personality and was especially good to everyone. If my mother hadn’t objected…”
At that point, Xia Mingcheng suddenly stopped talking and looked at her warily. Chi Shuyan felt so regret; it could only be said that the man in front of her was pretty on guard.
Soone who didn’t trust you wouldn’t reveal everything to you.
Chi Shuyan sighed and didn’t plan to probe him indirectly anymore. Instead, she told the other party the truth. “I did et your girlfriend once, and I gave her a talisman to protect her life. Besides, don’t you want to know how your girlfriend died? The reason I asked you out this ti, Mr. Xia, is to find out if you sensed anything strange before sothing happened to Miss Yan. Can you tell anything?”
Chi Shuyan didn’t have much hope when she asked this question. She felt that the other party was too wary. If it really didn’t work out, she could only offend the other party and use her abilities to look into his private affairs directly. Who would have thought that the other party would suddenly stand up, an extrely excited and pained expression on his face. After a while, he squeezed out, “Wait, you said that you… gave Liling a talisman before? When?”
Chi Shuyan recalled the date and told him. Xia Mingcheng sat down again. His attitude was obviously much better this ti. Not long after, he took out a talisman from his pocket and placed it on the table. “Is this the talisman?”
Chi Shuyan glanced at the very familiar talisman on the table and recognized that it was indeed the talisman she had given to Yan Liling before. As for why it was in Xia Mingcheng’s hands now, she guessed that it was most likely from Yan Liling herself.
Their relationship had probably been really good.
She nodded. Xia Mingcheng stared at the talisman on the table with an especially pained and conflicted expression and said, “Liling pressed this talisman on a few days before her accident. She said that this talisman was especially effective and had been given to her by a Master during filming. I didn’t think much of it at that ti and didn’t take it seriously, but after Liling gave the talisman, sothing happened to her.”
Xia Mingcheng still didn’t dare think about Liling’s tragic death. Every ti he thought about it, his heart hurt as if it was being dug out of his chest. He didn’t dare think about anything. Most of the ti, he even acted as if there had been no one like Yan Liling in his life. Only then did he feel better.
The young lady in front of him suddenly picked up the talisman and opened it. Thinking that she was going to take away the last thing which Liling had given him, Xia Mingcheng panicked. He hurriedly said, “Wait, this is the last thing Liling gave . Can you leave it for as a nto?”
Xia Mingcheng’s tone was low and pleading, and his posture was especially humble. Chi Shuyan narrowed her eyes and stared thoughtfully at the charred corner of the talisman, then asked, “When Yan Liling gave you this talisman, was it already charred?”
