After Tong Qiang had been talking non-stop for a while, Xiang Yuntian finally couldn't hold back and abruptly interrupted him, shouting, "President Tong!"

Tong Qiang then stopped talking, staring blankly at Xiang Yuntian, looking utterly dumbfounded.

Seeing that Tong Qiang seemed to have finally calmed down, Xiang Yuntian lowered his voice and said to him gently, "I must explain to you again that we came here not because of your matters, but because of several murder cases."

Upon hearing the words "murder case," Tong Qiang's face changed drastically, turning ashen almost instantly.

“A murder case…? How did it come to me?” Tong Qiang looked at Xiang Yuntian in disbelief.

After all, ordinary people generally don't like to see the police come knocking on their door, especially in cases involving human lives, for fear of getting into trouble they shouldn't be in.

Bai Mengfei, like a curious little girl, deliberately stared intently at him with wide eyes. However, in her heart, Bai Mengfei felt that these cases had nothing to do with Tong Qiang. Judging from his current frantic state, it was clear he had no time to harm anyone.

Xiang Yuntian also realized this and quickly explained to Tong Qiang, "I'm sorry, Mr. Tong, please don't misunderstand. We just hope you can assist with the investigation, we don't mean anything else."

Hearing Xiang Yuntian's words, Tong Qiang finally breathed a heavy sigh of relief, but his brows were still tightly furrowed, and the phrase "frowning" was the most apt description.

Tong Qiang looked up at Xiang Yuntian's face and even blinked secretly. At this moment, he must have been filled with mixed feelings, which Xiang Yuntian could tell.

Xiang Yuntian understood how flustered Tong Qiang was, and reassured him, "President Tong, to be honest, you don't need to be nervous, it's nothing serious."

"Yes, I know." Tong Qiang replied verbally, but his actions betrayed his true feelings. He kept picking up his tie and wiping the sweat rolling down his forehead.

After wiping it several times, he looked at Xiang Yuntian with expectant eyes and asked, "So what do you want me to do now?"

"I just wanted to ask you a few questions," Xiang Yuntian said.

Tong Qiang looked a little dizzy. He staggered back a few steps, then leaned against the wall and took a few deep breaths.

Then, he swallowed hard and looked at Xiang Yuntian, saying, "Alright then, feel free to ask me any questions. I'll tell you anything I know."

"Hmm." Xiang Yuntian responded in a muffled voice, then continued, "Here's the thing, I'd like to know, how long have you been back?"

Upon hearing Xiang Yuntian's question, Tong Qiang counted on his fingers and then answered confidently, "It's been about five or six years, why are you asking this?"

Bai Mengfei pondered to herself, feeling that Tong Qiang must know quite a lot.

Then it was her turn to ask: "Have you heard any rumors over the years?"

"Rumors? What kind of rumors?" Tong Qiang asked Bai Mengfei in a particularly humble tone.

"Have you heard of any cases of people being murdered?" Bai Mengfei asked directly.

Yes, there are plenty.

Upon hearing this question, Tong Qiang looked up and thought for a moment, then said with certainty, "Our place is feudal, superstitious, and extremely conservative, with a whole host of strange things happening here. Because of this, almost all the young people with any skills who can go out have left, leaving only the elderly, women, and children. Who would buy the houses I built?"

Bai Mengfei strongly suspected that he used to work in real estate sales.

This person is so talkative!

However, Bai Mengfei remained secretly curious and did not voice her question. She then asked, "Which one impressed you the most?"

Tong Qiang thought for a moment and then said, "There have been a lot of cases of girls being harmed here lately, and they're all quite bizarre. Little girl, let me tell you, don't wander around at night, stick close to this big brother of yours."

Hearing this, Xiang Yuntian couldn't help but chuckle to himself.

Bai Mengfei smiled too, because she felt that this Tong Qiangren was not bad.

"Understood." Bai Mengfei resumed her usual mature and aloof demeanor, responding with a faint reply.

Her attitude piqued Tong Qiang's curiosity.

Tong Qiang looked at her with a puzzled expression, his eyes full of confusion.

Fearing that Tong Qiang would see through his act, Xiang Yuntian quickly shifted his gaze to the documents in Tong Qiang's hand and said, "Mr. Tong, aren't you going back to the police station? It's on our way, could you give us a ride?"

Tong Qiang then realized what was happening and laughed, "Oh right, I would have forgotten if you hadn't reminded me. But I'm afraid my car can't carry the two of you."

why? !

Both Bai Mengfei and Xiang Yuntian were filled with doubt.

Once outside, the two realized what was going on: Tong Qiang's ride was actually a bicycle.

This left Bai Mengfei and Xiang Yuntian both amused and exasperated.

Xiang Yuntian had no choice but to change his mind and say, "President Tong, you should go first! We can walk there."

Unexpectedly, Tong Qiang was very enthusiastic and actually said to Xiang Yuntian, "It's okay, why don't you let the young lady next to you sit down, I'll give her a ride."

Bai Mengfei quickly waved her hand and said with a helpless smile, "No need to be so polite."

"Oh, that's fine then. This road is difficult to travel anyway, you should walk on your own."

After saying that, Tong Qiang hurriedly pedaled his bicycle and rode away along the rugged road.

After he rode away, Xiang Yuntian finally couldn't help but laugh again.

"What are you laughing at? You keep laughing." Bai Mengfei said.

Xiang Yuntian didn't want to hide his thoughts from Bai Mengfei, so he said honestly, "I think this Tong Qiang is quite interesting. Just thinking about how embarrassed he looked after you rejected him makes me want to laugh."

Bai Mengfei suddenly felt that Xiang Yuntian was being a bit childish, not taking the case seriously at all. She walked forward angrily, saying, "Oh, really? Then keep laughing, I'm leaving first."

Xiang Yuntian hurriedly chased after her, afraid that she would fall on this difficult road.

"Hey, slow down. I'm sorry, okay?"

"Mengfei, I was wrong, I was really wrong."

"Your attitude of admitting your mistake won't do!" At this moment, Bai Mengfei didn't realize that she was becoming more and more girlish.

The two walked along this long and bumpy road, one in front and one behind.

Although Xiang Yuntian was a serious man, he still said a lot of nice things to make her happy.

He just wanted to spoil her like this, to keep spoiling her forever.

After walking for a while, the two returned to the police station, where Tong Qiang, who was riding a bicycle, had already arrived.

He was still there, pestering the police officer and talking incessantly, spitting everywhere.

Even when Xiang Yuntian and Bai Mengfei returned and the police greeted them, Tong Qiang was still talking non-stop, completely unaware that the two had already returned.
