"Hmph! So quick to forget gratitude and now calling officer?" Lou Zhaonian mocked Xing Chen and threw two photos on the table in front of him. "Take a look for yourself."
Lou Zhaonian didn’t seem the slightest bit embarrassed by his words.
Saying Xing Chen was quick to change how he addressed him, wasn’t he doing the sa?
If Xing Chen didn’t give him a little face, with just that tone, the entire Lou Family would struggle to establish themselves in A City!
The Gu Family was once so prominent and wealthy, but didn’t they vanish from A City overnight because of a single word from Xing Chen?
With narrowed, phoenix eyes, Xing Chen glanced casually at the photos on the table.
Upon clearly seeing the people in the photos, his pupils contracted sharply!
Is that... Xiangsi and Gu Beichuan in the cabin?
None of his people were inside at the ti, and the cabin was heavily guarded, so how could there be secret photos?
But Xing Chen was a seasoned veteran; even at this mont, he remained unflustered!
He calmly retracted his gaze and sighed leisurely, "It’s just two photos. What kind of story could they tell?"
"The story is huge! Did you see the blood-stained knife in Ran Xiangsi’s hand? She killed Gu Beichuan and threw his body into the sea," Lou Zhaonian said, making it sound as real as possible. He even snorted disdainfully at the end.
Even if Ding Jia’s claims were false, Lou Zhaonian would still make them seem true with those photos.
On the way here, Xing Chen had already considered how Lou Zhaonian would trouble Ran Xiangsi, but he hadn’t expected they’d fra her for murder?
He knew Xiangsi went to the wrecked ship to see Gu Beichuan that day.
As for what happened in the cabin, he was unaware.
To facilitate Xiangsi, he had sent away his n, so no one saw when Gu Beichuan left.
This... Now, with these two photos conjured by Lou Zhaonian from unknown places, things have beco tricky.
"Old Officer, in your advanced age, your storytelling abilities have improved. The Gu Family relocated as a whole, leaving elsewhere. Where’s the talk of murder and disposal? Defaming and tarnishing others’ reputations also carries legal consequences," Xing Chen spoke indifferently, his handso face expressionless, still calm and inscrutable.
"Relocated? Why not say it plainly that you forced them out? I’ve already had my people investigate. The Gu Family indeed left as a whole, but Gu Beichuan didn’t leave with them! He was killed by Ran Xiangsi!"
It looks like Lou Zhaonian did plenty of howork before summoning Xing Chen here, even specifically investigating the whereabouts of the Gu Family mbers.
Lou Zhaonian’s words sowhat irritated Xing Chen.
The woman he treasured deeply was constantly being targeted and manipulated by outsiders.
Do they not take him, Xing Chen, seriously?
"Sorry, I don’t have ti to waste here with you." With that, Xing Chen stood up, ready to leave.
How could Xiangsi possibly commit murder? Such a shallow fra-up was absurdly idiotic.
Seeing that Xing Chen was really about to leave, Lou Zhaonian anxiously stood up, "You avoid discussing this because Ran Xiangsi was defiled by Gu Beichuan, making you wear a cuckold’s cap. And it was out of hatred that she conceived the idea of murder. There were witnesses to the entire process. Xing Chen, you may not believe my words, but you must know, once you step out of the Lou Family’s door, these evidences will be sent to the police station!"
