Chapter 78

When the police car finally returned to the criminal investigation team, Chen Shuyuan, who had hurriedly rushed here, quickly greeted Wang Li, who was driving the Roewe. When Tong Tong got out of the back seat, the youngest 'rich woman' in Gangcheng tightly held the exhausted Tong Tong, her words filled with tension and worry! Fortunately, Tong Tong was not seriously injured, and the few scratches on her arm had been urgently treated by medical personnel. However, when Xiao Sheng got out of the car, his entire arm was wrapped like a mummy. Despite this, Xiao Sheng's smile still managed to calm Chen Shuyuan's heart somewhat.

The two consecutive attacks, both targeting the No. 1 car of Huaxin Group, had stirred the usually gentle Chen Shuyuan's anger. Although she did not know the full extent of the danger, she had seen Xiao Sheng's capabilities. The fact that he was so badly injured indicated how intense the situation must have been!

Faced with the 'main person' who was angry, Hu Quan, who had already gotten out of the police car, looked extremely awkward. As the top figure of the criminal investigation team, he kept smiling apologetically. As the primary victim, Xiao Sheng's timely intervention to calm Chen Shuyuan made her less aggressive, which in turn made Hu Quan feel a bit more favorably towards Xiao Sheng.

During the routine questioning, Chen Shuyuan stayed by Tong Tong's side. The police officer recording Tong Tong's statement was a kind-looking aunt with a gentle voice, who did not ask overly sensitive questions, considering Tong Tong's young age and the potential for causing trauma. On the other hand, as the direct victim of the two attacks, Xiao Sheng, with his consent, was taken to a separate office. Considering his friendship with Wang Li, Hu Quan had Wang Li personally record his statement, while Hu Quan himself led the core team to interrogate the captured criminals.

The room where Xiao Sheng's statement was being recorded was not very large, containing only a desk, two chairs, and a file cabinet against the wall. The room was filled with a unique atmosphere, and even before Wang Li entered the office, Xiao Sheng had already deduced that this office belonged to 'Lavender Flower'!

A woman's office is always so tidy. Unlike other victims who are nervous during questioning, Xiao Sheng was quite relaxed. He picked up one of Wang Li's workbooks and flipped through it with interest. When the door opened, Xiao Sheng, who had been looking down at the workbook, slowly raised his head. He saw Wang Li, holding a disposable cup in one hand and a statement book under her arm, struggling to enter. Xiao Sheng quickly stood up, took the cup from her, and closed the door.

"Thank you," Wang Li's voice was gentle, making Xiao Sheng feel a bit ticklish. Instead of sitting down directly, Wang Li turned to pull the curtains, which made Xiao Sheng, who had already sat down, start to imagine. He looked around the small office, thinking about the possibility of a passionate encounter in the deputy captain's office, which he had never experienced before. It was quite exciting!

When Wang Li turned around, she met Xiao Sheng's intense gaze, making her feel very uncomfortable. In her two years of work, she had never felt such 'embarrassment' when facing a victim.

"Did you pull the curtains so tight because you want to do something?" Xiao Sheng's sudden question made Wang Li's face turn bright red. Standing between the desk and the window, Wang Li was unsure what to do, and her expression reminded Xiao Sheng of the idiom: "This place has no silver, three hundred taels." Wasn't this clearly telling Zou Hai, who was temporarily in charge outside, that they had a 'secret affair'?

Xiao Sheng's smile made Wang Li very nervous. She took a deep breath to try to remain calm, sat back down, and opened the statement book. She looked up and gently asked:

"Mr. Xiao, please take this statement seriously. The information you provide will be crucial for us to solve the case early." Seeing her moving lips, Xiao Sheng, with a 'playful' smile, nodded slightly and answered directly:

"Sure."

The unproductive question-and-answer session began, filling the small office with an unusual atmosphere. For the first ten minutes, Wang Li, who did not dare to look directly at Xiao Sheng, kept her head down, writing.

Seeing a few strands of her hair messily falling on her side face, Xiao Sheng paused and, in a teasing manner, extended his right hand to smooth them. However, before his hand reached her, Wang Li, who had been writing, suddenly trembled as if 'fertilized,' quickly leaned back in her chair, and used the statement book to cover her chest. Her eyes wide open, she looked at Xiao Sheng's hand in mid-air and said subconsciously:

"What are you doing?" Hearing this, Xiao Sheng laughed, thoroughly, trying to control his voice so that the police officers outside wouldn't hear. He retracted his right hand and murmured:

"Is it really necessary, Xiao Li? Do you think we need to be so formal, just doing our jobs?"

The word 'Xiao Li' made Wang Li's already turbulent heart beat even more wildly. Regaining her composure, she found herself being overly sensitive. Putting the statement book back, she met Xiao Sheng's smiling eyes and, after a long pause, said:

"I am working, please..."

"Then, when you're not working, can you do whatever you want?"

"You..." Just as Xiao Sheng was teasing Wang Li, the tightly closed door suddenly opened. Both of them turned their heads to see Zou Hai's somewhat distorted face. When he saw them sitting properly, Zou Hai's expression became slightly awkward, and he said softly:

"Ms. Chen, how much longer will it take? They are waiting to go home." The poor performance was obvious even to the dim-witted Wang Li, who became cold and replied word by word:

"Very soon. Deputy Captain Zou, please knock before entering next time. It's basic courtesy."

Zou Hai, who was concerned about Wang Li, looked extremely embarrassed.

"Sorry, sorry..." He then looked at Xiao Sheng, giving him a warning glance, and quickly retreated. After the door closed again, Xiao Sheng quickly stood up, walked to the door, and skillfully locked it from the inside. Turning around, he looked at Wang Li with a gleam in his eyes and said:

"Isn't it better now that no one will disturb us?" As he spoke, Xiao Sheng took a step closer to Wang Li. At this moment, Wang Li, whose heart was racing, tightly gripped the pen in her hand, her eyes fixed on Xiao Sheng. The police baton hidden under the table was already partially visible.
