Chapter 1735

Hearing the police's words, Ximen Wudi's eyes flickered with surprise—he didn't understand why the police would come for him.

"What do you want with me?" Ximen Wudi asked.

"We don't know either, but you're suspected in a murder case—please come with us."

Hearing the police's words, Ximen Wudi looked utterly bewildered, completely failing to understand what the police meant by "murder case."

"I don't understand what you mean by 'murder case'—please explain clearly."

"Alright, Young Lady Ximen Wudi, please come with us."

Ximen Wudi followed the police away, arriving at the police station, then entering the interrogation room.

At the police station, Ximen Wudi's parents and Su Fei's parents had both arrived.

Su Fei's parents and Su Fei's classmates were all there.

Inside the interrogation room, a female officer in uniform looked at Ximen Wudi and asked: "Are you Young Lady Ximen Wudi?"

"Yes, I'm Ximen Wudi." Ximen Wudi nodded.

Hearing Ximen Wudi's answer, the female officer continued: "Please cooperate with our investigation."

"Mm."

Ximen Wudi nodded.

"Please recount in detail everything that happened to you last night—leave out nothing, not a single detail!"

"Yes, I understand."

Ximen Wudi nodded, then recounted everything that had happened last night.

The female officer paused her note-taking, looked up at Ximen Wudi.

"Alright, you may leave."

Hearing the female officer's words, Ximen Wudi nodded, turned, and walked out.

Stepping out of the police station, Ximen Wudi let out a long breath—though she hadn't been physically harmed by last night's events, she'd still been frightened.

Thinking of it, Ximen Wudi couldn't help muttering: "I never thought I'd be scared by a bunch of kids—is there something wrong with my intelligence?"

After venting inwardly, Ximen Wudi began thinking about how to leave the police station.

After thinking for a long time, Ximen Wudi decided to stay put for now and wait for news from Su Fei's parents.

Ximen Wudi hailed a taxi and returned directly to her apartment.

Back at the apartment, Ximen Wudi took a hot shower, changed clothes, and curled up on the sofa to sleep.

The next morning, Ximen Wudi was woken by her alarm.

Glancing at the wall clock, Ximen Wudi sprang up immediately.

"I need to go find my landlord and get my deposit back—otherwise, I'll have nowhere to live."

After getting up, Ximen Wudi saw Su Fei hadn't woken yet, so she decided to go find the landlord herself.

Ximen Wudi had just stepped out of the bedroom when she saw Su Fei walking down the stairs.

Ximen Wudi glanced at Su Fei, ignored her, and headed for the door.

"Ximen Wudi, where are you rushing off to?" Su Fei asked.

Hearing Su Fei's voice, Ximen Wudi turned and looked at her.

Ximen Wudi said: "I'm going to get my rent deposit back from the landlord."

"Ximen Wudi, don't you think you owe me a favor?" Su Fei frowned.

"Su Fei, isn't that none of your business?" Ximen Wudi retorted, raising an eyebrow.

"Ximen Wudi, even though you helped me yesterday, I haven't even thanked you yet!"

"I don't need anyone's thanks—I just hope you stop bothering me." Ximen Wudi said, then turned and opened her door.

"Ximen Wudi…" Seeing Ximen Wudi's action, Su Fei grew angry, not understanding why Ximen Wudi refused to stay and help her.

"Young Lady Su Fei, you may continue staying here." Just as Su Fei was about to speak, a cold male voice rang out.

Hearing the male voice, Ximen Wudi turned and saw a man in a black suit, wearing sunglasses, standing in her living room.

The man was tall and handsome; his beautiful face made Su Fei momentarily dazed.

As the man noticed Ximen Wudi looking at him, he smiled a devastatingly charming smile and stepped toward Su Fei.

Ximen Wudi: "…"

"Hey, beautiful lady, I'm Li Yunfeng—Ximen Wudi's boss." The man removed his sunglasses and extended his right hand toward Ximen Wudi.

Hearing Li Yunfeng's introduction, Ximen Wudi blinked, stared at him, and asked: "You're my boss?"

"Yep." Li Yunfeng answered cheerfully, then regarded Ximen Wudi with gentlemanly poise: "May I invite you to lunch?"

"Uh… sorry, I've already made plans." Ximen Wudi shook her head and declined.

"Then can you go eat with me now?" Li Yunfeng pressed persistently.

Ximen Wudi: "…"

Su Fei: "…"

Seeing this, Su Fei's eyes flickered with jealousy and hatred—she had long coveted this Li Yunfeng, but he'd always ignored her; now he was actively inviting Ximen Wudi to lunch?

Su Fei glared at Ximen Wudi with clenched teeth.

"Sorry, I've already made plans with a friend." Ximen Wudi declined again.

"I see." Hearing Ximen Wudi's refusal, Li Yunfeng looked slightly embarrassed, but he still didn't give up.

Watching Li Yunfeng's persistence, Su Fei spoke up: "Brother Yun Feng, stop pestering Ximen Wudi."

"I… I asked her to lunch because I like Ximen Wudi." Li Yunfeng explained.

Hearing Li Yunfeng's words, Ximen Wudi was a bit taken aback. Looking at Su Fei, he spoke with some uncertainty, "You mean Li Yunfeng likes me?"

"That's right, Ximen Wudi. We've been childhood sweethearts, and I truly like you too. Won't you consider me?" Li Yunfeng wore a deeply affectionate expression as he looked at Ximen Wudi.

Hearing Li Yunfeng's words, Ximen Wudi's mouth fell open. His gaze drifted back and forth between Li Yunfeng and Su Fei, and he couldn't help wondering how the two of them had met.

Su Fei, catching the doubtful look in Ximen Wudi's eyes, stamped her foot in exasperation: "Ximen Wudi, what are you looking at? You don't think dirty thoughts, do you?"

"I don't, but Su Fei, your peach blossom luck really is flourishing — whether it's Li Yunfeng or Zhou Jingcheng, each one is more outstanding than the last."

Hearing Ximen Wudi mention Zhou Jingcheng, Li Yunfeng couldn't help glancing at Su Fei, then turned back to Ximen Wudi: "You know my brother?"

"Oh, I know of him, but we've never met." Ximen Wudi nodded.

"So you two know each other too — what a coincidence." Li Yunfeng couldn't help speaking up upon hearing this.

Ximen Wudi looked at Li Yunfeng and ignored him.

Just then, Ximen Wudi's phone suddenly rang. Seeing the caller was Su Jin, he hesitated for a moment, but in the end still chose to answer.

"Hello…"

"Ximen Wudi, I'm already home. Why aren't you back yet?" Su Jin asked anxiously.

"I'm outside, I'll be back soon. Don't worry about me."

"Alright, then come back early."

Ximen Wudi gave an "mm," and ended the call with Su Jin.

After hanging up, Ximen Wudi looked at Li Yunfeng: "I have something to take care of, I need to go first."

Having said that, Ximen Wudi walked out toward the outside.

Li Yunfeng stood there watching Ximen Wudi's departing back, a gleam of absolute determination in his eyes.

Ximen Wudi took a car to the company, and saw Su Jin waiting expectantly at the door.

"Su Jin, why are you here?" Ximen Wudi ran quickly to Su Jin's side, a smile rising on his face.

Su Jin glanced at Ximen Wudi, then looked at Li Yunfeng beside him: "Why are you together with Ximen Wudi?"

Su Jin's tone was very calm, but hearing those words, an uneasy premonition rose in Su Fei's heart.

She couldn't help thinking to herself: if Li Yunfeng found out she had deliberately lured Ximen Wudi out, wouldn't she be in a terrible fix?
