Li Yan opened his mouth and tried to say something. However, he found himself unable to refute her at all after hearing her answer. He could only begrudgingly keep his silence.

  Zhao Youlin did not plan to continue being pestered by Li Yan, so she put the teacup back on the table and said indifferently, “Do you guys have anything else to ask?”


  “As for the people who chased after you this time, do you still remember their faces, Ms. Zhao?”


  Zhao Youlin raised her head to look at Li Yan. Then, she chuckled and said, “Officer Li, I think you shouldn’t ask me this question. As far as I know, you are holding one of them in the police station. Compared to me, I think that person should have a deeper impression on his companions, whom he gets along with all the time.”


  Li Yan was speechless, but soon, he found another reason. “You’re right, Ms. Zhao. But you also just said that that person is an accomplice of those people. In that case, who could guarantee that he would not give false information to buy some time? So, it’s better to ask other witnesses to be on the safe side.”


  “What you said is indeed reasonable, Officer Li. But shouldn’t it be your duty to make these people tell the truth?”


  “This…”


  “Of course, the most important reason is that I… forgot.”


  Li Yan was stunned. He stared at the person opposite him in surprise. “You forgot?”


  “Yeah, I forgot.” Zhao Youlin admitted it without skipping a beat. “Even if you didn’t personally experience the situation at that time, you should be able to imagine as well. There were so many tall and muscular men surrounding me, a weak girl, with weapons. I didn’t even have time to escape, let alone remember each of their faces leisurely.”


  Mu Chen was speechless. ‘Hey, which part of you look like a weak woman? Besides, if you’re really a weak woman, don’t shoot someone’s shoulder blade.’


  Mu Chen shuddered inexplicably when he recalled the bedridden prisoner who was still in the intensive care unit.

  Li Yan was speechless once again when he heard Zhao Youlin’s answer. He wanted to get angry, but whenever he saw Zhao Youlin’s face pretending to be scared, he always felt like he was bullying a girl. It felt extremely frustrating.

  The line of questioning was abruptly ended. Li Yan pondered for a moment. He refused to give up and asked, “Last question. Do you have any conflict with someone or have you offended someone recently?”


  Zhao Youlin muttered, “Have a conflict with someone? To be honest, there’s a lot.”


  Li Yan’s eyes slightly brightened. He quickly asked, “Ms. Zhao, please be more specific.”


  Zhao Youlin frowned and thought for a while. Then, she said softly, “Uh, you should know my current identity, Officer Li. Besides, I have just recently joined the family business as the general manager. It is inevitable to make enemies in a high position. This is beyond my control. As for disputes, I can’t really say who. If you want to know, you should investigate it by yourself, Officer Li. I believe that with the abilities of the police officers, it shouldn’t be difficult to check such a little thing.”


  Now, it was not clear who the person who wanted to kill her was. She was not that stupid to shoot herself in the foot.

  There were indeed many people who had conflicts with Zhao Youlin. Since she joined the Zhao Enterprise, Zhao Yifei, Sun Fengzi, Zhao Shuncheng, and Zhao Youxi had butted heads with her.

  In particular, the time she had a fight with Sun Fengzi and her son. It was so intense that it spread throughout the whole company.

  But Zhao Youlin also understood that there was still someone behind Sun Fengzi. If she really gave him her name, it was not impossible to be accused of a false accusation by her if it was truly not her.

  So, it was better to be vague about this and let some people check it themselves to be safe.

  Li Yan could sense the perfunctory use of Zhao Youlin’s words. He wanted to ask more questions, but he heard Zhao Youlin say, “Officer Li, just now you said that it was the last question.”


  Li Yan could not say what he wanted to say, so he returned to his seat angrily.

  A trace of sarcasm flashed in Zhao Youlin’s eyes. She turned her gaze to Mu Chan, who had been silently taking notes on the side. The indifference and coldness that were hidden in her eyes instantly faded away. She smiled and asked, “Officer Jiang, is there anything else you want to ask?”


  Li Yan sat up straight when he heard that. He seemed to want to signal Mu Chen, but he kept quiet after being stared at by Zhao Youlin’s cold eyes.

  Mu Chen was stunned. He raised his head to look at the woman in front of him, whom he inexplicably felt a sense of familiarity. After seeing the mix of tolerance and impatience that was deep in her eyes, he subconsciously shook his head even when he knew that he should seize this opportunity to ask a few more questions at this time.

  The corners of Zhao Youlin’s mouth curled up happily. “In this case, Officer Jiang just said that there are other things to handle, so you guys can go back first.”


  Li Yan pursed his lips unwillingly. He closed the transcript in his hand and got up. Then, he extended his hand and said, “We will leave first then. Thank you for your cooperation today, Ms. Zhao. If there is any other news, we will inform you as soon as possible.”


  Zhao Youlin ignored Li Yan’s hand that was stretched toward her. She moved without a trace and held Mu Chen’s hand. Then, she said with a smile, “Well, thank you for your hard work.”


  Li Yan’s hand that was extended out froze in the air just like this. After a while, he was like awakening from a dream and slowly put his hand down to the side of his body. Then, he clenched his fists.

  Zhao Youlin did not ask Uncle Zhao to send them out. She personally sent them out instead. This was all in order to get along with Mu Chen for a while more.

  “I remember hearing from Sister Youlin that you guys are police officers of the SWAT team, right? Is it possible that the SWAT team has changed its function and is starting to take care of things like this?” Zhao Youlin took advantage of the time when Li Yan went to pick the car up, she finally asked the question that had been lingering in her mind since she saw Mu Chen.

  Mu Chen was stunned when he heard that. Then, he raised his head and laughed embarrassedly, He said, “No, I’m no longer in the SWAT team. I’m just an ordinary policeman.”


  “Huh? Why?” Zhao Youlin raised her eyebrows. She did not forget how determined he was when he was in the military academy. No matter how her mother persuaded him, he still wanted to be a member of the SWAT team. He was extremely stubborn, so why did he suddenly change?

  Zhao Youlin’s question made Mu Chen even more embarrassed. He hesitated and finally told the truth.

  “Well, you also know that Sister Lin passed away because she was a member of the SWAT team. After that, I understood a lot of things. Although I like this profession very much, I’m no longer alone like before. Even if it’s not for myself, I have to live well for my family as well. I don’t want my family to suffer the pain I experienced when I lost Sister Lin. So, Xiao Xin and I submitted an application and transferred to our current positions after we caught the criminal who killed Sister Lin.”
