Chapter 8: The case repeats itself

Views:

Xie Wan'er kept winking at Zhao Wei. He was still in joy, thinking that Xie Wan'er was explained by his words of persuasion.

The man next to the car heard the sound, turned his head to see Xie Wan'er's back, and followed up with a few strides.

Zhao Wei was taken aback. He didn't know what this person was doing, so he pulled Xie Wan'er a bit, so as not to lose her.

Xie Wan'er glared at Zhao Wei fiercely when she saw the person in front of her. Staring at Zhao Wei's grievance, what did he do wrong

"Miss, the master wants you to go home immediately." The man in the gown said respectfully.

"I still have an interview to do, and I will go home when I finish the interview." Xie Wan'er felt weak. She knew better than anyone that if her father sent someone to pick her up, she would not allow her to resist.

"The master is very angry. The lady must go back now, and the lady should not embarrass the younger ones." The man in the gown was respectful, but his words showed beyond doubt.

"I won't go back." Xie Wan'er stubbornly resisted, showing her temper.

"Master said, if the lady doesn't go back now, she won't be able to apply for work in the future." The man in the gown directly released his assassin.

Xie Wan'er pushed him away angrily and walked out. The man in the gown was not angry, so he took a few steps, opened the door, and asked Xie Wan'er to get in the car.

The Xie Family Courtyard, even in the wealthy area of Shanghai, is particularly conspicuous and spectacular.

When Xie Wan'er walked into the gorgeous hall with her servants, the Xie family's father had already been sitting there, waiting for her.

Seeing her father's gloomy face, Xie Wan'er subconsciously wanted to escape.

Xie Bainian shouted: "Stop me!"

Xie Wan'er was yelled to stop, and whispered to discuss: "Dad, I worked all day and night yesterday, and I'm hungry and sleepy at the moment. Let's talk about something after dinner."

"Are you embarrassed to say? What is it like for a lady who is not home at night?" Xie Bainian reprimanded furiously.

Xie Wan'er saw that it was useless to spit bitter water at her father, and cast her mother's eyes for help.

Upon seeing this, Xie's mother hurriedly persuaded Xie Bainian from the side, "The child must be busy outside. Let the child rest, eat some food, and speak slowly."

"Eating, what to eat? Loving mothers often lose children." Xie Bainian's anger was high. After shouting at Xie mother, he looked at Xie Wan'er and asked, "I asked you to pick up Lu Yunze. Have you gone?"

"I have news to report. Forgot." Xie Wan'er said more and more guilty, but still retorted unwillingly: "He is such a big man, he still needs someone to pick it up!"

"Shut up! That's your husband-in-law! He came to Shanghai, and you should pick him up. Isn't it right?" Xie Bainian said with a calm face and no doubt, "He is here to take office. You will get married another day."

"I don't agree! What age is it now, and arranged marriages. I haven't seen him. You haven't seen him in more than ten years. I don't know what he looks like now, what kind of person he is. Let me marry him, I will not marry." Xie Wan'er resisted angrily.

"Naughty! Marriage has always been the order of the parents and the matchmaker's words." Xie Bainian patted the armrest of the sofa with anger, and said angrily: "If I let you marry, you must marry."

Xie's mother watched the two father and daughter quarrel, and quickly persuaded Xie Bainian, who was so bullied.

"Okay, sir, it's not that we are going to get married today. You first let the two young people get in touch with each other, maybe Wan'er would like it!"

"I won't do it. Whoever loves to marry will marry." Xie Wan'er murmured.

Xie Bainian was so angry that there was nowhere to vent his anger, and angrily said to Xie's mother: "Look at your good daughter, who is so rebellious."

Mother Xie quickly got up, pulled Xie Wan'er aside, and whispered: "Your dad has always promised the most, not to mention that your dad's life was saved by your uncle Lu. The two are friends. If you regret your marriage now, you let you Where do you put Dad's face?"

"Mom, do you want to sacrifice my happiness because of my dad's face?" Xie Wan'er narrowed her mouth, seeing that the resistance to her father was ineffective, and began to adopt a soft policy. "I don't know that Lu Yunze, and two people will not be happy together. ."

Mother Xie patted Xie Wan'er's hand and said with a smile: "Although their family moved to Nanjing after you were born. They haven't seen you in more than ten years! But your uncle Lu is decent and high-minded, and wants to show his son's behavior. It’s not bad either. Lu Yunze is a lieutenant colonel at a young age, and working in Songhu Garrison Command has a bright future."

"Mom..." Xie Wan'er stomped angrily. "What does his future have to do with me? I don't know him."

"I tell you, I don't care whether you like it or not, I will tie you to the Lu family even if I am tied." Xie Bainian warned angrily.

Xie Wan'er had to refute her father, and Xie's mother hurriedly stopped her in a low voice, "Stop talking. Anyway, your dad will definitely keep you at home until you marry Lu Yunze."

"Mom, I don't want to marry, I want to accompany you forever." Xie Wan'er shook her mother's arm.

Mother Xie smiled and said, "Don't be foolish, there is no woman who doesn't marry."

Xie Wan'er saw that her mother wanted to marry Lu Yunze too, her eyes rolled and she said to her father: "Dad, I can't marry him without knowing him! What if he is a playboy?"

"It's normal for a man to have three wives and four concubines. How many women are there? Just treat you well." Xie Bainian's thinking is still very traditional.

"Then what if he doesn't like me?" Xie Wan'er asked angrily.

"Does he dare to look down on my daughter?" Xie Bainian really didn't think about this question.

"Dad, I mean just in case. He is a playboy with a bad character and doesn't like me. Can you keep him locked up until you marry me?"

Xie mother said: "Master, let them get in touch first! In case they don't like each other, there is no need to force it."

Xie Bainian thought for a while, and said, "In short, I will never take the initiative to retreat."

Xie Wan'er clenched her fists secretly. Her persistence achieved a certain victory. Her father's meaning was obvious. If Lu Yunze wanted to divorce, his father would agree. His father just didn't want to break his promise and be a perfidy.

The atmosphere between the father and daughter just began to ease, when the servant walked in.

"Master, the Detective Brigade of the police station would like to invite the young lady to the Jasmine Café."

"Didn't you have asked me, why did you tell me to go again?" Xie Wan'er asked in confusion.

"Hey..." Xie Bainian glared at his daughter helplessly, "Sooner or later, something will happen."

"If something happens, I will take it myself." Xie Wan'er said sturdily, and walked to the door.

Mother Xie watched her daughter leave, she couldn't help worrying, and asked, "Master, won't something really happen to Wan'er, right?"

"My daughter from the Xie family, who would dare me to see?" Xie Bainian glared, the tiger's prestige guarding the calf was awe-inspiring and windy.

When Xie Wan'er was taken to the Jasmine Café, Lu Yunze had not yet arrived. But Mai Yali was standing behind the bar, pouring coffee slowly, with a natural and elegant manner, as if she was in her own home.

Mai Yali slightly curled her gorgeous red lips and asked, "What kind of coffee would Miss Xie want to drink?"

"I'm not here for coffee." Xie Wan'er sat down at the bar and asked: "You want to see me?"

Mai Yali shrugged and said, "No."

"Where is the person who wants to see me?" Xie Wan'er looked around and found no one.

"Big people usually arrive last, Miss Xie must be patient." Mai Yali said mysteriously.

"Big man? Who? Is there any news to report?" Xie Wan'er immediately came in interest.

"Miss Xie is not worried at all?" Mai Yali pushed a cup of coffee in front of Xie Wan'er, "Please drink."

"I have nothing to worry about, Captain Gu was not the one who killed me." Xie Wan'er said disapprovingly: "You haven't told me which big man is coming!"

Just as Mai Yali was about to open her mouth to answer Xie Wan'er's question, Lu Yunze's voice suddenly sounded from the door, "Since you didn't kill the person, I wonder if Miss Xie is willing to repeat the scene that day in order to prove her innocence?"

His voice instantly attracted Xie Wan'er's attention, and she turned her head to look, the glaring sunlight shining above his head, but it could not warm his cold. Even though there is a certain distance between the two, the oppressive feeling that came from him still blows on his face.

When Lu Yunze saw her there, he asked again: "Ms. Xie is willing to cooperate with our work?"

Xie Wan'er returned to her senses and said: "Cooperating with your work is not bad, but you have to give me first-hand news reports."

"I'm not talking about an exchange of terms with you." Lu Yunze walked up to Xie Wan'er, "You are removing suspicion for yourself."

"Hey! I said that you are really going to beat you. What do I have? I have no grievances with Gu Xun, why should I harm him." Xie Wan'er asked angrily.

"When Gu Xun died, everyone present said the same. Who do you think I should believe?" Lu Yunze squinted, and two cold beams shot at Xie Wan'er, "Miss Xie can cooperate here, and I can go home soon."

"If I don't cooperate. Do you still want to be tortured?" Xie Wan'er has always been unafraid of power, and she is naturally upset when the sixth is arguing with her.

"If it's not related to it, why not cooperate?" Lu Yunze looked at Mai Yali, "Go and bring back the editor-in-chief of the declaration. I suspect that he sheltered the person who killed Captain Gu.

"Yes, vice seat." Mai Yali took the order.

"You..." Xie Wan'er was annoyed, "You made it clear that you were threatening me."

"If Miss Xie thinks that way, I don't mind." Lu Yunze walked to the place where Gu Xun was poisoned and sat down, "I believe Miss Xie can start now, right?"

Mai Yali called a few more people in and made the layout according to the environment of the cafe that day.

Although Xie Wan'er was reluctant, she still tried to convince herself. Although the officer doing things in front of him makes people uncomfortable, if the case is solved, it is a good thing anyway.

Xie Wan'er recounted the story of having dinner with Shaoyang and meeting Gu Xun that day. Lu Yunze listened carefully all the time, and Xie Wan'er had forgotten her dissatisfaction with Lu Yunze when she talked about the rise.

At the end, Lu Yunze waved to Xie Wan'er when Xie Wan'er, Gu Xun, Shaoyang, and the waiter all appeared together, and signaled her to stop talking.
