Muchuan And Xiang Wan

The people there noticed them as well.

There was a sudden silence.

Meng Chi did not speak the entire time. There was not much expression on his face as if he knew nothing about Yu Bo"s accusations. When he saw Xiang Wan and Bai Muchuan, he turned for a glance at them. His mouth moved a little but remained silent.

As for Yu Bo, after he finished shouting… his body was still shaking!

It was as though he had been provoked and looked greatly agitated. He pointed at Meng Chi and couldn"t stop quivering.

Bai Muchuan said grimly, "What happened?"

Two police officers came over. "Captain Bai, Captain Zhang, you"re here! This Yu Bo… when he saw Meng Chi, he suddenly lost control…"

Both of them were also bewildered!

Bai Muchuan nodded and turned to look at Xiang Wan, who was beside him.

Xiang Wan received the hint in his gaze and walked up slowly. "Yu Bo?"

There were so many people talking earlier, but Yu Bo showed no reaction.

He was completely immersed in his own thoughts. When he saw Meng Chi, he behaved as though he saw his father"s killer…

When he heard Xiang Wan"s voice, he regained his senses. He turned to look at her and appeared startled for a moment.

Xiang Wan showed a smile. "I heard you wanted to talk to me? I"m here to see you now!"

Yu Bo"s body stiffened, but the next moment, his shaking worsened.

When he saw Xiang Wan, everyone thought he would say something…

Yet he sank back to his chair, covered his face with his hands, and began to cry hysterically.

He was howling, without tears.

He did not utter a single word.

Everyone was dumbfounded.

Bai Muchuan waved his hand. "All of you get out of here first."

There were too many people in the questioning room. It would be impossible to communicate effectively in such an environment.

Everyone nodded and went out of the questioning room.

"CEO Meng," said Tu Liang politely, "we need to trouble you to go outside for a while and provide some a.s.sistance in our investigation."

Meng Chi adjusted the hems of his suit and got up from his seat.

When he was about to leave the room, Yu Bo suddenly lifted his head and glared at Meng Chi in agitation.

"He can"t leave! Don"t let him leave! He"s a bad person!"

"…"

Everyone fell silent.

Meng Chi, however, laughed at his remarks. "Little friend," he said casually, "Why don"t you talk to the police and find out who the bad person really is?"

After that, he shook his head. "Pitiful fellow," he muttered. He did not look at Yu Bo again but stopped before Bai Muchuan with a smile.

"Captain Bai, I"ll wait for you outside. There are some matters I"m only willing to talk to you!"

Yesterday at the hotel, he had already looked for Bai Muchuan once.

However, Bai Muchuan rejected him outright in public and wanted him to go according to protocol.

By appearing at the police station, he had come looking for Bai Muchuan according to protocol.

Thus, the two police officers who received him asked him to wait when coincidentally, he happened to meet Yu Bo.

That was what happened earlier.

Meng Chi had told the police that the first time he met Yu Bo was at Brother Steel"s villa. There were many police officers there; he had absolutely no chance to talk to Yu Bo alone. How could there be a link between these two when they"d never talked to each other before?

Why was Yu Bo so agitated all of a sudden? There was no reason for him to do so…

Just before he left, Meng Chi even gave a suggestion out of goodwill.

"After you"ve questioned him, I suggest that the police should bring this young fellow to a psychiatrist. Oh yes, if expenses are an issue, I can sponsor it…"

It was not a secret that Yu Bo was now an orphan.

He had no job, no money, no relatives, and no family. It also seemed like he needed help in terms of his mental health… If he needed to go to a psychiatrist, he would not be unable to pay for the expenses!

Therefore, Meng Chi"s suggestion was considered a kind gesture.

In the office, only Bai Muchuan, Xiang Wan, Quan Shaoteng, and Captain Zhang were there, as well as Yu Bo.

With these three Captains beside her, Xiang Wan felt as though she had returned to the time when she was working as an Advisor to the Criminal Investigation Unit back in Jin City. Not only that, but she also activated her work mode subconsciously.

"Yu Bo."

It was evident that after Yu Bo"s outburst of anger, he had yet to regain composure.

"There are no outsiders here. You can tell me what happened earlier!"

Yu Bo"s lips quivered for a while.

It felt like he had not yet recovered from his hysteria, or it was tough for him to talk about the matter.

"I… Can I have some water?"

He was still the same as before. He would be fl.u.s.tered every time he faced the scrutiny of others, and would find all kinds of excuses to protect himself.

Xiang Wan looked at Bai Muchuan.

Then Bai Muchuan looked at Quan Shaoteng…

Poor Captain Quan had no choice but to get water for him. He went out and brought back two cups of water…

He gave a cup to Yu Bo, and another for himself.

Quan Shaoteng drank slowly!

That proud and arrogant look of his seemed to suggest that he was not drinking a cup of water, but some top-quality wine instead. He was relis.h.i.+ng every drop of it…

Yu Bo was also drinking quietly without a word.

Xiang Wan contemplated for a while before she started the conversation.

"Yu Bo, when I arrived here, I heard you shouting. Are there some frustrations… between you and Meng Chi?"

"Meng Chi?" Yu Bo looked up at her. "Who is Meng Chi?"

"…"

Bai Muchuan and Captain Zhang were a little taken aback.

Xiang Wan, on the other hand, understood Yu Bo.

She smiled at him. "That person you were shouting at earlier. He"s Meng Chi…"

"Oh! Meng Chi… So his name is Meng Chi…"

Yu Bo was sitting on a chair, but he kept fidgeting as if there were needles poking his skin.

He could not sit quietly for long periods of time. He was similar to a child with Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD).

"I hate him…" He said suddenly.

"Why do you hate him?" Xiang Wan squinted her eyes.

"He… promised me something… but he didn"t fulfill them… he kicked me to the curb after using me… He frframed me…"

Xiang Wan paused for a second. "When did you get to know him? What did he promise you?"

Back at Brother Steel"s villa, Yu Bo was kept under surveillance. The police protected him. There should be no way for Meng Chi to come in contact with him.

Unless they already knew each other previously…

Xiang Wan"s gaze became even gentler. "What"s up? Not willing to share it with me?"

Yu Bo looked at her, then glanced timidly at the three men with Xiang Wan.

"Are they the police?"

Xiang Wan also followed his line of sight and looked at Bai Muchuan. "Yes, they are!"

There was an obvious flash of hesitation in Yu Bo"s eyes. "I hate the police!"

Xiang Wan looked at him intently. "… Why?"

Yu Bo replied as he played with his fingers. "The police don"t let me go back home. They"re always asking me this and that every day… I hate it!"

He talked like a child.

The more Xiang Wan talked to Yu Bo, the more she felt that there was something different with him.

However, with his logical sense and thinking, he could still communicate with people.

That meant that they could believe what he was saying.

Xiang Wan pursed her lips. "It"s not that the police did not want to let you go back home. It"s just that… you"re sick, so the police keep you here to protect you…"

"I"m not sick!" Yu Bo seemed to mind it a lot when they told him that he was sick.

That pair of eyes that stared hard at Xiang Wan went wide-opened at that instant.

He looked ferocious but terrified at the same time.

The emotions he was feeling were contradictory, yet they were a clear indication of what Yu Bo was feeling inside.

He was terrified and he couldn"t hold his anger!

Xiang Wan was also pondering how she could communicate with him better.

She was even thinking if she should get Bai Muchuan and the other two to leave the room.

However, very soon, she threw out that idea.

She was, after all, not the police—

"Ahem!" Xiang Wan smiled. "Alright, I apologize! You"re not sick… The one who"s sick is actually me…"

Her words stupefied Yu Bo.

There was even sympathy in his gaze.

"So you, you"re also sick?"

Xiang Wan nodded her head. "That"s what they told me," she said seriously, "I don"t know either… maybe I"m really sick… and that could be the reason I"m able to talk to you? I can understand you, but none of them can… I"m thinking, maybe we"re the same type of people…"

The same type of people… he thought.

The same type of people…

Yu Bo looked at the young and pretty lady before him.

"So do you believe… that Meng Chi… he"s a bad person?"

She was certain that Yu Bo did not know Meng Chi"s name previously.

"I also feel that he"s a bad person!" Xiang Wan was not the police, so she need not be too careful with her words. She did not feel pressured or stressed when she told Yu Bo her gut feeling. She need not worry about violating police ethics and et cetera.

Hence, she continued to speak ill of Meng Chi without a care. "When I met him at your uncle"s villa, I already feel he"s a really bad person. One moment, he"s nice; the next moment, he"s aggressive. He"s like a two-faced villain!"

She even used simple and childish words.

Yu Bo could accept such words.

He concurred by nodding his head heavily. "Yes! Yes! He"s a two-faced person. When I first met him, he"s really nice to me. He gave me nice food and even told me that he wanted to bring me to a big city to earn lots and lots of money. In this way, I can support my mom… and not let my mom suffer so much…"

Mom?

Didn"t Yu Bo"s mom pa.s.sed on a long time ago?

Xiang Wan replied with a smile. "He"s such a bad person! When did this bad person try to cheat you?"

Yu Bo uttered. "It"s that day!"

Xiang Wan followed right away. "Which day?"

Yu Bo thought for a moment, scratching his head with a red mohawk hairstyle. "I forgot…"

Xiang Wan did not force him but asked another question. "Is it when your mom is still around?"

Yu Bo nodded his head and swept a glance at Bai Muchuan and Quan Shaoteng before he held his cup of water carefully and drank it slowly. "He brought me to the city… I saw many beautiful girls… later on… Mom died…"

Brought him to the city?

Meng Chi brought Yu Bo away from Nanmu before?

Xiang Wan and Bai Muchuan exchanged glances at each other.

"How did you go to the city?"

She wanted to know the mode of transport, so it would be easier for them to investigate.

"It"s a big car!" Yu Bo cooperated and replied immediately.

"Do you still remember anything about the big car?"

"It"s a big, black car!"

"Do you still remember the car number plate?"

"… I don"t." Yu Bo shook his head, but he thought for a while and replied. "It"s similar to the big car that my uncle "Brother Steel" owned…"

It was not easy talking to this fellow.

Xiang Wan searched for whatever key points she could think of. "Do you still remember which city you went with him?"

Yu Bo nodded his head. "Xi City…"
