fang zicheng nodded his head. " have you ever thought that the murderer could appear and disappear like a ghost? perhaps something really happened to the elk family? "

dongli ao felt ashamed of their decision. he nodded and said in a low voice, " i did, so ... "

" i have ... " fang zicheng, who rarely had feelings for normal people, was so angry that he laughed. "ha, you've thought about it. since you've thought about it, why do you still plan to do it? where are you putting her safety?" fang zicheng's heart was filled with anger. when he said this, his eyes widened.

this was the first time dongli ao had seen fang zicheng angry. the young man's green eyes were filled with anger and sarcasm. dongli ao was also shocked and took a few steps back.

fang zicheng knew very well that using lu yinxi as bait to attract the murderer's attention and wait for him to jump into the trap was a bold and perfect plan.

!!

however, the bait was lu yinxi!

she was someone who was closely related to him, someone he liked!

how could fang zicheng allow lu yinxi to be suspected?

fang zicheng saw that he had scared dongli ao. he suddenly closed his mouth, turned around, and looked away. he was quiet and did not say a word.

seeing that fang zicheng refused to cooperate with their plan, dongli ao had expected this, but he still had to fight for it.

he put away his embarrassed expression and tried to look as calm as possible. he said, " this murder case has a very bad influence. the old case from more than ten years ago has also been dug up. after so many years, the murderer had reappeared and used the same cruel method to harm a young woman. when such a thing was spread, it naturally caused panic. recently, there's been a lot of tension in binjiang city. rumors are everywhere, and the murderer hasn't been caught yet. the police are under a lot of pressure."

" this case has already been handed over to the key case investigation unit. i'm only here today to pass you a message. "

ren dongli tried his best to persuade him, but fang zicheng remained unmoved.

"little cheng." dongli ao patted fang zicheng's back heavily. " i'm sorry. i don't want you to be in a difficult position. "

fang zicheng's expression remained cold.

whether other people lived or died, or whether the police were under great pressure, it was none of his business. he only wanted the elk to be safe. "there's no room for discussion." fang zicheng rejected dongli ao.

he struggled to free himself from the hands on his back, then strode away.

dongli ao raised his head and stared at fang zicheng's back.

he sighed.

i knew i wouldn't be able to do this guy's job.

dongli ao's phone rang.

he picked up the phone and heard another male colleague's voice. " we found lu yinxi and explained our plan. she agreed. "

dongli ao grunted in agreement.

after hanging up the phone, dongli ao looked at fang zicheng's back and said softly, " i'm sorry. "

fang zicheng had just reached the entrance of villa no. 8 when he heard dongli ao's inner voice. [ i'm sorry. although you didn't agree, she did. ]

fang zicheng stopped in his tracks.

she had agreed ...

he suddenly turned around and ran. he ran away from dongli ao and towards the gate.

dongli ao watched as he flashed past him.

what was he going to do?

dongli ao was a little stunned and surprised.

fang zicheng ran to the entrance of lu yinxi's neighborhood in one breath and barged into the building where her house was. fang zicheng walked into the elevator, still panting.

as soon as the elevator door opened, fang zicheng strode out.

lu yinxi was packing her bag.

the police had just come to see her and had delayed her. she had to pack her things quickly or she would be late. fang zicheng and the others were coming to pick her up. if she was late, the three of them would be late as well.

ding-ding-dong.

ding-ding-dong.

lu yinxi was stuffing her last homework into her bag when she heard the door open.

she walked behind the door, her heart beating a little fast.

she didn't dare to open the door. she wasn't sure who the person standing outside was. it could be her aunt who didn't return last night, or it could be the murderer.

" who's outside? " lu yinxi asked softly as she leaned against the door.

" it's me, " fang zicheng said.

the door opened.

the people in the room raised their heads to look at fang zicheng. they could not hide the surprise on their faces.

" fang zicheng, why did you come up? " lu yinxi thought that fang zicheng had come to pick her up to school. noticing that fang zicheng was still wearing his sports attire, she was puzzled. " where's your school uniform? "

"you agreed, didn't you?" fang zicheng's tone was calm.

however, lu yinxi was sensitive enough to sense the anger hidden behind his words.

lu yinxi's eyes widened.

"how did you know?"

fang zicheng did not explain to her that he had already met dongli ao. he walked into lu yinxi's aunt's house and closed the door. he pressed lu yinxi against the wall and lost his temper at her for the first time.

"are you stupid? lu yinxi, do you even have a brain? you knew that it was dangerous, but you still agreed to cooperate with their plan. why are you so stupid?"

this was the first time that fang zicheng had truly scolded someone. he had never thought that the first time he would lose his temper, it would be at the person he liked.

he clearly liked her so much.

lu yinxi was confused by fang zicheng's roar.

she was in a daze and did not speak.

fang zicheng's hands were wrapped tightly around her shoulders. he pulled back his fingers and left fingerprints on lu yinxi's shoulders. "are you trying to anger me to death! if anything happens to you, who am i going to ask for it!"

fang zicheng hated lu yinxi for being so soft-hearted. "you're not a hero, you're just a little girl. what will happen if you reject them?"

fang zicheng was really angry. he was so angry that his eyes turned red.

in front of him, lu yinxi's eyes were slightly red and filled with tears after she heard his angry words. lu yinxi's lips seemed to be fighting. her pink lips moved for a moment before she called out his name in a choked voice. "fang zicheng."

hearing her weak voice, fang zicheng's anger dissipated.

fang zicheng did not say a word and kept staring at her face.

he really wanted to wipe her tears away, but he didn't want to be too soft-hearted.

lu yinxi's expression was pained. she said, " it's not just the police who want to catch the murderer. i want to as well. "

fang zicheng was stunned.

lu yinxi looked at him with tears in her eyes. " i want it more than anyone else. catch the murderer who killed my parents! " she said. her parents were killed by the murderer, but she was lucky enough to survive. now that the murderer had reappeared, she could finally do something for her parents. how could she be afraid?

fang zicheng couldn't understand lu yinxi's thoughts.

"but you'll be in danger."

lu yinxi didn't say anything.

fang zicheng was still angry. he was so angry that he lost his mind and spoke his true thoughts from the depths of his heart. he said, " your parents are already dead. if they're dead, then they're dead. they can't come back to life. it's useless for you to do all this, can't you just save me some trouble?"

lu yinxi's eyes widened. "how can you say that!"
