Chapter 622: Because You Worry About Me
After Ye Jingcheng received the call from “Mu Tangxue”, he became very restless. He did not know where to find her, and he was unsure if she would call back. In addition, he feared that Sheng Xiao might catch her.
But since it was a ploy arranged by Sheng Xiao, of course, this “Mu Tangxue” would call back. He had totally lost his interest in tackling Mu Qiqi, so he did not care whether or not she had clarified details about the scandal.
The interview took half an hour. And after the interview, Mu Qiqi looked totally different and was completely relieved. Regardless of the results, she had done her best.
Looking at her across the sea of staff, Sheng Xiao beckoned her with his finger.
Mu Qiqi ran to him quickly and hugged his slim waist naturally. “How was my performance just now?”
“Show her the comments on the Internet.” Sheng Xiao ordered the secretary.
The secretary nodded with a smile and gave her the phone. “It’s very successful, Mistress.”
“I racked my brains to draw the public’s attention to my ident.i.ty as a forensic doctor. After this, I must work harder so that I am truly worthy of my profession.” Mu Qiqi returned the phone to the secretary. “How about Ye Jingcheng? Has he come up with any counter measures?”
“He has no time to deal with you now.” Sheng Xiao walked out of the VIP reception room with Mu Qiqi around his arm, and they returned to his office.
“What do you mean?”
“Mu Tangxue called him just now. He must be thinking about how he could get further news about her, and nothing else.” Sheng Xiao smirked.
Mu Qiqi knew her man would not easily let Ye Jingcheng find Mu Tangxue. She knew there was something fishy about it.
“Aren’t you curious if Mu Tangxue has really showed up?”
“She must be a fake.” Mu Qiqi tapped on her chest confidently. “I know my man. He will not let Ye Jingcheng get what he wants so easily.”
“I’ve found him a tip-top voice actor.” Sheng Xiao sounded cold and dangerous. “If he wants to find the person through my hand, he will have to at least spend a year or two.”
Mu Qiqi laughed loudly after hearing that. “You’re the best.”
“After lunch, go home, try out your dress, and wait for me. I really want to know what kind of bad things will happen if you go to the state banquet.”
Mu Qiqi knew Sheng Xiao was not joking, looking at his face. So, she nodded. “Anyway, I still want to make it clear to you that if it is not suitable for me to go, I will not insist on going.”
“What a discouraging thing to say.” Sheng Xiao simply scolded her lovingly.
Mu Qiqi laughed. Soon after, she received a call from Feng Shanshan. “We’ve found the source of the corpse. And those who defamed you are in the police station now. Won’t you come to such a wonderful moment?”
Mu Qiqi glanced at Sheng Xiao to get his permission. “I know the state banquet starts at seven. I will get home before three.”
“Is my opinion important?”
“Of course.” Mu Qiqi smiled coquettishly.
“Do you still listen to me?” Sheng Xiao was obviously unconvinced. This little one’s wings had hardened so much that she was becoming a.s.sertive now.
“Of course!”
“Three o’clock. You said that.” Sheng Xiao gave in in the end. Although the little one had made clarifications during the interview and had used the chance to brainwash the netizens at the same time, she still had to take care of the matter properly.
Mu Qiqi hugged Sheng Xiao once again and rubbed his chest vigorously. “You don’t have to worry about me growing up. Even if I’ve grown up, you will always be my first priority. Keep that in mind.”
Having said that, Mu Qiqi showed him the ring on her finger.
Sheng Xiao did not stop her. He knew that the little one was no longer the old Mu Qiqi.
However, as a forensic doctor, wearing a ring was very inconvenient for her. So, Sheng Xiao reminded himself in his mind that he had to make a special necklace just for her.
Mu Qiqi went straight to the police station after leaving Zhongteng. At the moment, Tang Yan was interrogating the professional hate speech campaigners.
“How’s it now?”
“The stolen corpse was another woman from the slums who was a mistress of a gang boss. Her name’s Song Qiao. She was dug out just days after she was buried. How pitiful,” Feng Shanshan explained to Mu Qiqi.
“The person who did that has not been found yet. It’s not that easy to get clues. As for the haters, they still don’t want to admit that they have received money to do it. They said that they simply did it because they hated you. It looks like they would rather be detained for seven days than tell the truth. Tang Yan has already sent some men to investigate if any big sum of money had been wired into their accounts. The person who planned this must have thought about it thoroughly. We know the penalty for stealing a corpse. To the poor people in the slums, a few months of imprisonment is nothing. And when that could be exchanged for a better life, of course they would be willing to do it,” Mu Qiqi said, irritated. “It looks like someone has really made up his mind to destroy me.”
“Will your man just sit still?”
Impossible.
When Mu Qiqi was about to answer, her phone rang. Mu Qiqi saw the phone number and answered the call. “I’m Mu Qiqi.”
“Qiqi, let’s meet up.” Ye Jingcheng sounded awkward. “So? Are you willing to see me?”
Thinking of the grudge between them, Mu Qiqi was too lazy to ask him how he got her number, so she said, “You stay put. I’ll go to Ye Mansion.”
“I’ll wait.”
“Are you crazy? Going to meet Ye Jingcheng alone?”
Mu Qiqi laughed looking at Feng Shanshan. “Who told you I’m going alone? Don’t I have you and Captain Tang?”
“What makes you think I will go?”
“Because you worry about me.” Mu Qiqi exposed her little secret. “When the interrogation ends, I will tell Captain Tang.”
Feng Shanshan admitted to it silently. As for Tang Yan, she would only know if he was willing to go depending on his answer later.
Unexpectedly, Tang Yan agreed to it right away.
“When?”
“I won’t take too much of your time. We’ll go now,” said Mu Qiqi.
Feng Shanshan did not know what was in Tang Yan’s mind. But she could somehow grasp what he was thinking. He was definitely not simply accompanying Mu Qiqi to see someone.
But why did Mu Qiqi need Tang Yan?
It wasn’t just because of his physical skills, but also because of his keen eye.
At this point, because of professional reasons, Mu Qiqi felt that Tang Yan’s way of thinking was almost similar to Sheng Xiao’s.
Maybe, he could get more useful information.
As for why she brought Feng Shanshan along, it’s rather simple. Mu Qiqi just did not want her to misunderstand. So, she avoided working alone with Tang Yan.
