Chapter 564 - You’ve Such a Poker Face!

In this case, there was no reason for Hu Ran to stay in the Sheng family anymore. Besides, she did not have a real relationship with Sheng Bowen anyway.

But when Hu Ran heard this, she felt uncomfortable.

She knew Third Brother had a kind heart, but when she thought deeper, she wondered if she was really not worthy of being pursued by a man. During her most difficult times, Sheng Bowen never disliked her because she was a retard and still married her. Couldn’t she stay beside Sheng Bowen, and advance and retreat with him?

In Sheng Bowen’s heart, was she that unworthy of his trust?

“Let’s talk about this another time. Aren’t we celebrating the detention of that woman?” Hu Ran changed the topic.

“Alright, we will talk about it another time.”

Sooner or later, Sheng Bowen would still have to talk about it.

...

In the evening, Mu Qiqi and Feng Shanshan went to the police station. When they got there, they found the police interrogating Xie Yingsheng. He was a giant in the entertainment industry, stubborn, and not at all cooperative. Even if the paparazzo had evidence, he still denied going to Shen Qing’s villa.

Since the police had no more direct evidence, they could only let Xie Yingsheng go home.

“Professor, the leader hopes that you can conduct another thorough examination to see if you can find more clues. The police had done a background check on him and found out that Xie Yingsheng has a weak body. He is also lazy and rarely goes to the gym, let alone practice high-intensity physical work such as martial arts and boxing.”

“What about his brother?” Mu Qiqi asked.

“His brother is still abroad, same as the day Shen Qing died. So, he has the perfect alibi.”

The professor nodded. “Then we shall look from head to toe again to see if there is any trace left. The police must be pressured since the victim is a famous figure.”

“How about Huang Fu? Didn’t you contact her to understand the situation?”

“The two merely talked smack to each other. Huang Fu only knew about trivial things, even less than us.”

This case was really tricky.

In the villa of the victim, they could not find anything related to Xie Yingsheng. Was he not the mysterious man?

The few of them flipped the body again and again. However, they still could not find anything on Sheng Qing’s body. The conclusion remained the same.

“Forget it. It is impossible for us to discover any new clue today. You two can just go back.”

The professor looked at Mu Qiqi and Feng Shanshan. “Aren’t you going to have your exam? You two don’t look nervous at all.”

It was almost the end of the semester, of course there would be an exam.

So, apart from going to the police station, Mu Qiqi would revise and study at home. As for Feng Shanshan...

Mu Qiqi put her eyes on her and Tang Yan. They had spent one night together in the same house, but why did they look as if nothing happened?

The professor saw her gaze and smiled. “Tang Yan, you have had a guest at your place recently, right?”

“A lady stayed at my place for one night. Why?” Tang Yan challenged weakly.

“You’ve such a poker face!”

He didn’t plan to develop a long-term relationship with her anyway. Why should he show anything on his face? He had just done a good deed.

What about Feng Shanshan? She pretended not knowing it altogether, as if she was listening to a story of another person.

Her friend would not bring her boyfriend home every day, would she?

Unfortunately, it was the wrong guess. Today, her roommate did not just bring her boyfriend back home, she even said things Feng Shanshan should not have heard.

“I don’t want to move to your place. Feng Shanshan has got money from the Sheng family by running errands for them. She is having a good time with the rich now. How nice.”

Feng Shanshan did not expect to hear that.

So, she did not leave this time. Instead, she barged into the living room and stared at them.

“Shanshan, why did you come back...” The roommate got off her boyfriend in embarrassment.

“I’m living with you so please be considerate. I don’t want to see or hear people having relations in the living room. Can’t you leave me a clean place in this house?” Feng Shanshan could not hold it in anymore.

“And one more, it’s true that I have money, but don’t even think about getting a penny from me.”

“Shanshan...”

“Pack up and leave my sight.” Feng Shanshan crossed her arms over her chest.

However, her roommate and her boyfriend turned the tables. They hit her head with an ashtray.

After Feng Shanshan fainted, he said, “Find her money. Won’t it be over if you find her money?”

The roommate was very frightened. She looked at her boyfriend rummaging through Feng Shanshan’s bag and room. When he found her wallet, they ran away.

The next day, Feng Shanshan didn’t come to class. Mu Qiqi quickly called her but nobody answered. Then, she called the police station to check if she was in the forensics laboratory.

“No, she hasn’t been here.”

“Professor, can I ask Officer Tang for a favour, to go to her house?”

Nobody else was free at the moment.

“Sure.”

Tang Yan was very irritated when he received the mission. However, he did not say anything to refuse. He went to Feng Shanshan’s house taking the route he was familiar with. When he got there, he found that the door was left ajar.

Tang Yan ran into the house and saw Feng Shanshan lying on the floor. He quickly held her. Sensing her breathing, he sent her to the hospital immediately.

This woman could even get her head smashed when she was at home. It seemed that her social relationship was rather complex.

Feng Shanshan regained her consciousness around noon. Seeing Tang Yan with an annoyed face, she said, “I’m still alive, right?”

“You are. Who did it to you?”

Feng Shanshan thought of last night. If she had known it earlier, she would not have confronted them head-on, since there wasn’t a man beside her then.

“My roommate and her boyfriend.”

“Just report it to the police. I shall return to the team now.” Having said that, Tang Yan wanted to leave immediately. However, Feng Shanshan grabbed his hand.

“Don’t you have love for your colleagues? You shouldn’t be leaving just like that, Officer Tang. Even if I’m a stranger to you, you can’t just go away after leaving me here. I have no one with me.” Feng Shanshan almost fainted out of annoyance. How could there be such a stubbornly sexist man in this world?

“Don’t you have many friends?”

“Forget it. You can go. I’ll just call Mu Qiqi.” Feng Shanshan felt that she would die of anger if he stayed.

However, Tang Yan did not leave in the end. But he still mocked her and showed her a scornful look.

“You are so troublesome.”

“There will be days when you trouble other people.” Feng Shanshan rolled her eyes. She suddenly felt that her skills in rolling her eyes had improved after knowing this man.
