Late at night, the fog was so thick that it seemed impossible to disperse.
She slept on a bed that was as hard as a rock, forcing herself not to think too much.
Tang Si was sitting by the bed. Her eyes were closed and her brows were furrowed but she slept quietly.
As time went by, drowsiness struck her slowly.
Seeing as she seemed to be asleep, he got up lightly, but the person in bed suddenly opened her eyes and grabbed his hand.
He paused.
He thought this woman was sent by God to torture him.
Working as a policeman for many years, he stayed up late to read files, handle cases, examine crime scenes and had almost encountered all kinds of weird things.
But this was his first time.
For him to stay up late to watch a woman sleeping.
He frowned slightly. His thin lips moved and he was about to speak.
“Captain Tang–” Zhou Liang’s voice suddenly came from the door. Seeing the two of them… he suddenly stopped.
God, what was he seeing?
Tang Si effortlessly retracted his hand, and as if nothing happened, he turned his eyes to Zhou Liang. “Yes?”
It wasn’t a secret clue. Zhou Liang coughed lightly and said directly, “We found something strange in Wu Wang’s home. There’s women’s stuff at his house. Shall we go and check it out?”
“Okay.” Tang Si was about to leave with Zhou Liang.
Song Yi stared at them, knowing that she couldn’t disturb or interfere with them. She had a steelyard in her heart and knew what was what.
So she didn’t move or make any sound but remained quiet.
He was leaving, so she had to be on her own in this place.
She understood very well that this was her own business, not his. She could only blame herself for her own bad luck.
She was unlucky to have known Wu Wang.
And she was even unluckier to get scratched by Wu Wang.
So she had to stay here and cooperate with the police during their investigation. She made Tang Si stay here just to vent for a bit.
Now the situation was different. He was working.
Besides, if she wanted to poach him in the future, she couldn’t leave him with a bad impression of her.
But she didn’t know if she could survive through the night herself.
She stared at Tang Si’s back. He looked slender and tall with wide shoulders and a tapered waist. She seemed to be able to see his tough and powerful muscles through the fabric.
The man was valiant and heroic in demeanor—a bit wild and a bit lazy, yet composed.
He stepped forward then stopped suddenly.
Then he turned around and looked at her.
He raised his eyebrows, not surprised that the woman wasn’t making trouble.
He had long discovered that she was not, as she appeared, a shallow and affected woman.
She had a clear idea of what to do and when to make her move.
He looked at her and said, “Some women’s items were discovered in Wu Wang’s home. Miss Song, those things may be yours. In order not to wrong you, let’s go and look at them together.”
What he said sounded very reasonable and gave her a perfect reason to leave this place.
Seeing her current state, he was really afraid of something bad happening to her, his important suspect.
Song Yi wasn’t stupid and certainly recognized his concerns.
He was composed and wise and his lazy and unrestrained appearance was just a disguise, which made it easier for him to get along with others.
As a police captain, he was very perceptive and he was afraid that something would happen to her if she was kept here tonight.
No one here found anything to be wrong with her but he did.
And he was being considerate to avoid verbalizing it for which she was very grateful.
Because she didn’t think it was something to be proud of and didn’t want people to know about it.
He had keenly perceived her thoughts.
The three of them walked out of the Criminal Police Brigade.
Just like when she first entered the building, Song Yi followed Tang Si while staring at his legs.
She was followed by Zhou Liang in police uniform.
