Chapter 976: What Did You Say?

If Jiang Yao could think of that, then the person in charge of the interrogation would think of the same thing as well. Therefore, they were not in a hurry to make that point. They would have an answer once they managed to question everyone from the hospital.

Lu Xingzhi did not ask for Jiang Yao’s presence for her to see Madam Chai. She was also one of her victims—Madam Chai did point a gun at her, so she was there to make a statement so that they could charge her for that crime as well.

Officer Chen took Jiang Yao’s statement; he was gentle with her because he knew that she was Lu Xingzhi’s wife. He asked a few important questions and then ended the interview quickly.

While Jiang Yao and Office Chen were busy with her statement, Lu Xingzhi leaned against the table and fixed his gaze on the person behind those iron bars. He lowered his head and said in a casual tone, “Chai Xianglong has died, and no one has collected his body. However, his mother has pinned all the crimes on him. I wonder if he would still be willing to die if he were to know about that.”

Lu Xingzhi paused before he smiled mockingly and said, “I guess that he won’t be so willing to die. After all, he has yet to meet his younger brother. Oh, well, he doesn’t even know that he has a younger brother, does he?”

Madam Chai’s eyes widened when she heard that. She stood up and rushed toward Lu Xingzhi, and her body trembled as she shouted, “What did you say?!”

“You didn’t hear me? Forget it, then. I don’t have the patience to repeat my words unnecessarily to a criminal.” Lu Xingzhi realized that Jiang Yao was done with her statement, so he turned toward her. “Have you eaten dinner?”

Jiang Yao shook her head, so he took her hand, and they went to get their dinner.

Lu Xingzhi was not in charge of the interrogation, so he could enjoy some private time after he had completed his work.

However, he was worried that some other matters might need his attention, so he did not take Jiang Yao, Ah Lu, and Big Ke anywhere too far away. They found a nice and clean restaurant near the police station and decided to eat there.

After they placed an order for some dishes, Lu Xingzhi asked for some hot water and helped Jiang Yao sanitize some bowls and chopsticks for their meal. Then, he said, “After everything is done here, you can go back with him. We’ll head to Jindo City first. Big Brother and Sister-in-law mentioned that they needed to talk to us.”

After he said that, Lu Xingzhi looked at Ah Lu and Big Ke. “While she’s with me, you can choose to stay in Jin City or Jindo City. Go wherever you want; just keep in touch with us.”

He could not bring Ah Lu and Big Ke to the barracks with him. The two bodyguards would not have anything to do while Jiang Yao stayed with him before she had to go back to the university.

“I think I’ll go back to my hometown to take a look. I haven’t been back in many years,” Ah Lu said.

Da Ke thought for a moment and nodded. “Yes, then I’ll go back to mine as well.”

It did not matter to them if they had a holiday or not; they did not have anyone they missed. However, since they had the time, they wanted to take a leisurely look at their hometown.

Jiang Yao waited for Lu Xing Zhi and Ah Lu to finish their conversation before she said anything. She asked, “It’s almost the New Year. Have you received the transfer order?”

“Not yet.” Lu Xing Zhi did not look very happy when he mentioned that. It was not only about the delayed transfer order. He still did not know where the new special forces would be based, and General Liang told him that after negotiations between the various military districts, they had decided to set up a team of female-only special forces. They would select its members from a list of candidates that Lu Xingzhi had eliminated last time.
