Married to the Protagonist

Still, he shot back with the same thing without a hint of politeness in his voice at all. “What’s it gotta do with me?!”

Even so, he still controlled his own voice.

He turned around, looking at the bedroom door from time to time.

It was hard for him to find the opportunity to come out and play, but he can still find trouble from thousands of miles away from the city. What bad luck.

Yan Cheng suddenly felt a little annoyed and wanted to smoke a cigarette.

Ah Tai’s cell phone was taken away by Officer Deng.

As soon as he put the phone to his ear, he could hear the abusive contents coming in from the other side.

He took two steps back and said in a deep voice, “As far as I know, you have some old grudges with Zhou Chao, correct?”

Concisely, he continued, hardly giving Yan Cheng any opportunity to ask questions or refute him. “Take for example, more than eight months ago, when Er Pavilion was suspected of offering prostitution services. It was Zhou Chao who reported the case. You were also a victim of that incident as well.”

“During that time, someone heard you say that you’d off him if you got the opportunity.”

Moreover, the prostitute that Zhou Chao hired before his death came out from your Er Pavilion.”

Yan Cheng was casually leaning against the guardrail, looking at the shadows of the trees rustling in the wind. With a taut jaw, he pursed his lips ever so slightly and, after a moment, asked, “Officer, what are you trying to express with such unobjective facts?”

“Nothing.” Deng Chuan had a mild expression on his face. He continued seriously, “In the end, I just hope that you can cooperate with our investigation.”

“As police officers, we hope to be able to obtain the most beneficial information that will help us towards finding the culprit.”

Yan Cheng scoffed. “I’d like to think that I welcome a call from you anytime, Officer Deng, but not being disturbed in the middle of the night while I’m trying to sleep. And then you say some alarming things to try and get people to rush back.”

They were so far apart in the country, but even so, you could still feel swords being drawn.

Deng Chuan had a violent temper, but Yan Cheng wasn’t any better.

But in the end, someone had to compromise first. Deng Chuan was probably also being difficult because he was prejudiced against Yan Cheng. After calming down, his voice also turned more moderate. “Alright. Then, I hope you can return to the capital tomorrow and cooperate with us, Mr. Yan.”

After that, Deng Chuan asked a few more questions about Zhou Chao.

Yan Cheng restrained the dissatisfaction in his heart and was actually quite cooperative.

When the questioning was about to end, and the more awake he got, the more curious he became. So, he asked, “Is that woman the murderer?”

Deng Chuan only vaguely responded, “It’s not confirmed yet.”

After some silence, the nature of Er Pavilion’s business came up again.

All in all, there was a constant feeling that he was trying to hint at something.

Yan Cheng laughed. “That woman is not one of our staff so it’s none of our business what she did with Zhou Chao.”

After a pause, he added, “Officer, we are law-abiding citizens.”

Of course, he had to go back no matter what.

Before hanging up, A Tai said the same. He pushed away the cold disguise on his face for once and warned him, “I’m afraid things aren’t going to be so simple.”

“Don’t worry about it, nothing to worry about if you haven’t done anything wrong.” Yan Cheng brightened up the mood.

Ah Tai, “That’s not it, boss. The problem is, this is affecting the Er Pavilion.”

…

The dark night passed.

During summer, the days would grow longer.

The day dawns earlier and the world was gradually turning white like a fish’s belly. The colorful lights of the city only showed up at night, and that had already slowly faded away.
