“I really don’t know where she is.”
Fu Yuling knew that this person had already started doubting her. No, it could be said that from the beginning, this person didn’t believe a word she said.
“Then how do you explain it now?”
Being pressured like this, Fu Yuling was starting to get annoyed.
She had always been the Buddhist type. If others didn’t mess with her, she wouldn’t meddle in their affairs either.
But this person kept on clinging to her again and again. Was it really fun for him?
“I was picking wild vegetables up the mountain and happened to pass by here when I found someone lying inside. Any problem with that?”
Her normally smooth facial features tensed up due to her strained expression.
Xiao Rui was sensitive to the goodness and evilness of people. When he saw her saving someone earlier, he began to suspect if they had mistaken the wrong person.
But Li Yan seemed unaffected by Fu Yuling’s questioning. He intended to continue with his questions.
Xiao Rui was very familiar with him. Seeing the situation, he quickly pulled Li Yan aside and started laughing to ease the tension.
“Don’t worry, our Brother Li isn’t intentionally targeting you. He’s like this with everyone.”
With Xiao Rui’s intervention, Fu Yuling’s face didn’t ease up. But since someone had provided a way out, she followed along. She hoped that the other party would do the same.
Li Yan’s attention wasn’t on Fu Yuling but on Xiao Rui who was pulling him. No emotions could be seen in his eyes. He listened to Xiao Rui’s obviously forced and out-of-tune words, but he remained silent without refuting.
“Since that’s the case, you take care of her for now. I’ll leave.”
“Do you need to take her to the hospital?”
Li Yan glanced at the woman on the ground whose red rashes were slowly fading.
“No need.”
Fu Yuling’s eyes became complicated.
She still had one thing she wanted to verify, hoping that it wasn’t him who did it.
That was also why her emotions were unstable at the moment. She even almost erupted in anger just now.
“Could you please stay temporarily? We need to take your statement.”
Xiao Rui was puzzled. Where did the statement come from? They didn’t have any clues yet, and their visits here were just to ask some questions. It shouldn’t be necessary to make it such a big deal!
But Xiao Rui still liked what Li Yan said.
“Yeah, yeah, plesse take your time and briefly tell us what happened?”
Compared to Li Yan’s firmness, Xiao Rui played the role of a peacemaker.
After pondering for a moment, Fu Yuling realized that she had been a bit impulsive just now.
She was surprised that Li Yan stopped her. Just now, she had approached him with a questioning look on her face. Just of thinking of this made her broke out in cold sweat.
Taking advantage of the time, she wanted to calm down.
Moreover, she temporarily had no evidence. All her speculations were based on her judgment from the novel in her mind.
Having figured all this out, Fu Yuling regained her composure and nodded.
“If there’s something, feel free to ask.”
Li Yan glanced at Xiao Rui. Xiao Rui somehow took out a notebook and a pen from somewhere, pretending to write. He looked up at Fu Yuling.
“Go ahead.”
Fu Yuling briefly covered up the matter of asking about Li Cuihua’s whereabouts and described how she came here and discovered someone in need of help.
While she was saying this in detail, Li Yan bypassed them and entered the house. Xiao Rui didn’t know what he saw inside, but Li Yan came out after a while and went straight to the back window.
It took quite a while before he returned!
“Finished with the questions?”
Xiao Rui wiped his cold sweat and nodded hastily.
The person had already finished speaking a long time ago.
