He could almost rule out Best Actor Shen, because he had already secretly investigated Best Actor Shen. The man couldn’t have had any contact with Traceless.
Hence now, the only person who could have had such contact with Traceless and would hire Traceless to steal such a worthless bracelet was Madam Lu.
Liang Liang looked at her intensely, certain that she was the one who had done it. But unfortunately, he had no evidence and the woman standing before him looked as though she would burst into tears any time. Hence, he really did not know what to say next.
He simply softened his tone. “Madam Lu, I’m not targeting you. I can guarantee that if you can provide me with information about Traceless, you will remain unharmed. I can also keep it from Lu Nanze, how about that?”
The moment he said that, Qiao Yiyi looked up, her eyes timid like a rabbit’s as she stared back at him and asked, “Really?”
Liang Liang: …
So Qiao Yiyi was terrified because of Lu Nanze?
He spoke as though he was abducting an innocent victim, “Really. As long as you tell me the truth, I will keep it from Lu Nanze, ok?”
Qiao Yiyi bit her lip at once and then shook her head.
Liang Liang was taken aback and asked, “What’s the matter?”
She looked at him and did not say anything.
He persisted. “Traceless is a frequent offender and has mitted many crimes. This person is dangerous. If you have had any sort of contact with her and she knows you, she could very well bring you trouble in the future. I’m telling you, I’ll help you capture her. Then she’ll never try to harass you again!”
Upon hearing these words, she felt a sharp pain in her heart, as though someone had pierced it brutally with a needle.
She tightened her fists and lowered her head.
All this time, in his mind, she had been nothing but a thief.
A dangerous person.
Ha!
This was ironically laughable.
To think that she had once seen him as a ray of light in her life. She had thought that they would have a happy ending.
Her expression turned cold at these thoughts.
Her heart was numb with pain.
“Madam Lu?”
Liang Liang’s voice caused her to snap back to the present.
She looked up, stared at the man and said with certainty, “She is a good person!”
She might have said that in her defense, she might have said that as an attempt to convince him.
But the moment she yelled this, she felt pelled to laugh.
A good person?
How could she use those words to describe herself?
She was a hated thief, a professional criminal who rendered the police helpless, a thief who walked between the world of light and the shadows.
She was all that, but she wasn’t a good person.
From the time she had taken up her first job as a thief, she had ceased to be a good person.
But now, all of this meant nothing to her.
Qiao Yiyi hung her head at this thought.
After a short pause, Liang Liang replied, “Yes, she is a good person. So you have to tell me where she is now, because she’s in danger. It’s true, I’m not trying to alarm you. Please just tell me where she is.”
Qiao Yiyi lifted her head and looked at him.
Since he wanted to know, she didn’t mind creating some obstacles for him.
At this thought, she said after a long pause, “Alright.”
Liang Liang immediately grabbed her by her shoulders and asked, “Where is she?”
