“My mother-in-law, Ye Linlang, is pregnant. Xie Xuning is going to be a father.”
Li Zhiwei remained calm. The news did not seem to bother her. “Oh, congratulations to them.”
Ye Tianxin stood outside the interrogation room and thought about what had transpired between them. He had a hunch something was not right.
Based on Li Zhiwei’s behavior toward Ye Linlang in the past, she should not have acted so calmly.
Li Zhiwei was a sentimental person. She loved Xie Xuning for so many years. It seemed unusual for someone like her to have such a quick change of heart.
“I thought you would be angry or upset about this, but it looks like I was wrong. It looks like you have really gotten over this. Congratulations.”
Li Qingcang bluntly spoke to Li Zhiwei.
“Send Ms. Li back.”
“Yes, Captain Li.”
Li Zhiwei stood up and looked at Li Qingcang. She asked him in disbelief, “You are really letting me go?”
Li Qingcang casually replied, “Of course.”
Li Zhiwei raked her fingers through her hair. “Aren’t you afraid of what will happen if you release me? What if you are letting the tiger back to the mountain?”
“Isn’t it a good idea? Alll the tigers in the mountain can be captured all at once.”
Li Qingcang’s words made Li Zhiwei laugh out loud.
“Captain Li, you are such a joker. I am a law-abiding citizen. I have a responsibility to cooperate with you. If you are suspicious of me or Li Bai, or if you have other questions, we will definitely cooperate with you. Goodbye for now.”
After Li Zhiwei left, Li Qingcang went over to Ye Tianxin. They exchanged knowing glances.
“Tianxin, wait outside for me. I will go in and talk to Li Bai.”
This was the first time Tianxin had witnessed an interrogation. She was curious. “Can I go in too?”
“Of course.”
Ye Tianxin went in with Li Qingcang as an observer.
Li Qingcang took out a few photographs and placed them in front of Li Bai.
“Do you recognize these photographs?”
Li Bai looked at the photographs and suddenly sat up straight. He now realized why the police were able to locate him so quickly. He asked, “Have you been following me all along?”
Li Qingcang grinned. “I’ll treat a friend well but take an enemy down if they try to e into my territory. You do not have good intentions. Naturally, I had to be on my guard.”
Li Bai laughed mockingly. “So what? Do you think you can indict me with these photographs? Don’t forget that I’m not a citizen of your country. I did not kill or shoot anyone, nor did I force your professor to jump down from his house. That was all him. Do you want to put all the blame on me?”
Li Qingcang clapped his hands and looked at him sarcastically.
He had to admit that Li Bai was good at staying undercover. His state of mind was very strong.
“Li Bai, based on your confession, from the time you knew Li Zhiwei to your impending marriage, you have never been to this country?”
Li Bai smirked but did not answer. “You are Captain Li right? I heard them address you as Captain Li. You can’t be a policeman or a member of the National Security Agency. You must be from the military!”
Li Qingcang affirmatively replied, “Yes, I am a soldier. It’s my responsibility to protect my country. Since you know Xu Yuan, you must know that I am Li Qingcang and that I am Professor Xu’s student.”
Li Bai glanced at Li Qingcang. “Are you saying that you have what I want?”
“Take a wild guess.”
Ye Tianxin’s heart skipped a beat when she heard that.
Why did Qingcang have to say that?
