"You, woman, is your brain located in a bear's mouth?"
Ning Chuan was utterly speechless at Mu Wanqing's logic.
"I think Ning Chuan wouldn't be like that..."
Qin Shi Yun furrowed her brows as well.
"Regardless, let's go to the bureau first and conduct a thorough investigation! We won't wrong an innocent person, but we won't let a guilty one go either!"
In the latter half of her sentence, Mu Wanqing stared fiercely at Ning Chuan.
At the police station, Qin Shi Yun gave her statement and was quickly released.
However, Mu Wanqing took Ning Chuan to the interrogation room for a separate questioning.
"So, what exactly are you?" Mu Wanqing slammed the table.
"What am I? I'm your landlord, haven't you forgotten?" Ning Chuan laughed.
"Don't play tricks with me! Let me tell you, even if you're my landlord, if you break the law, I won't let you off!" Mu Wanqing angrily retorted.
"Is that so? Unfortunately, whether I broke the law or not is not for you to decide, right? You need to provide evidence, don't you? Without evidence, randomly accusing people will only lead to trouble for yourself," Ning Chuan smiled.
"But you better be honest with me! Hand over the evidence and seek leniency!" Mu Wanqing slammed the table again.
"Don't jump to conclusions so quickly. Even if it's as you think, do you believe someone would be foolish enough to submit evidence that's detrimental to themselves?"
Ning Chuan looked at Mu Wanqing with an expression as if he were looking at a fool.
Mu Wanqing grabbed Ning Chuan's collar with both hands, staring into his eyes fiercely, and angrily asked, "Let me ask you again, did you go street racing today? Riding that ghostly motorcycle with a woman in front?"
"If you have evidence, you can do whatever you want. But without evidence, it's best for you to calm down," Ning Chuan still had a smile on his face.
"You!"
Mu Wanqing suddenly erupted in anger and was about to make a move.
Bang!
The door to the interrogation room was suddenly pushed open.
A person with a square face walked in. "Mu, someone came to bail him out."
Mu Wanqing urgently said, "What? No, I haven't..."
"Mu! Without evidence, you can only ask him to assist in the investigation; you don't have the right to interrogate him," the square-faced person said sternly.
"I..."
Mu Wanqing felt helpless and finally glared at Ning Chuan fiercely, unwillingly saying, "Take your hands out; I'll remove the handcuffs for you! Let me tell you, sooner or later, I'll catch you with something..."
"You want to catch me with something again? Are you trying to flirt with me?"
Ning Chuan's lips curled up, and he placed his hands on the table.
In his hands, he was still holding a pair of handcuffs that had already been undone.
"How... How did you unlock them?"
Mu Wanqing was shocked.
Ning Chuan stood up and walked out of the room.
Outside the police station, two tall women were waiting.
One was Qin Shi Yun, and the other was Tang Yuechan, Qin Shi Yun's best friend.
"Shi Yun, did you drag me out of my warm bed in the middle of the night just to bring out this pale face?"
Tang Yuechan looked at Ning Chuan, who was coming out, and said.
"Alright, he's out now. Yuechan, you can go back. Thank you for coming this time," Qin Shi Yun said to Tang Yuechan.
Since she was directly involved, Qin Shi Yun couldn't act as Ning Chuan's guarantor, so she called her best friend, Tang Yuechan, for help.
"Shi Yun, you want me to leave just like that? That's too heartless, it's like using me and then tossing me aside! No, tonight I'm going home with you!"
Tang Yuechan clung to Qin Shi Yun's arm, refusing to let go.
"I'll be staying at a hotel tonight."
"Then I'll go back to the hotel with you and sleep!"
Qin Shi Yun shook her head helplessly. "Alright then, a standard twin room, one bed for each of us."
"No problem! Let's go. Hey, Ning Chuan, hurry up and take us to the hotel. I can't wait to sleep with your boss," Tang Yuechan waved at Ning Chuan playfully.
"Ning Chuan, this is my best friend, Tang Yuechan. I asked her to bail you out. Now, take us to the hotel," Qin Shi Yun said to Ning Chuan, pointing to a car parked by the roadside, obviously driven by Tang Yuechan.
"Okay."
Ning Chuan nodded.
This Qin Shi Yun was not bad. At least she thought of finding someone to help him get out.
He walked briskly towards the car by the roadside, placed his hand beside his ear, and made a call.
"Ghost, investigate a woman named Tang Yuechan."
"Understood, boss."
Fifteen minutes later.
Ning Chuan drove Qin Shi Yun and Tang Yuechan back to the hotel.
The two went to re-register and change rooms, while Ning Chuan took out his phone and looked at the information sent by the Ghost.
[Tang Yuechan, Qin Shi Yun's best friend, Tang family's legitimate daughter, unmarried, net worth billions...]
After reading Tang Yuechan's information, Ning Chuan casually pressed a few buttons and deleted it.
Although the Ghost could easily find out a lot of people's privacy, Ning Chuan generally didn't let him do that unless it was related to the mission.
After confirming that Tang Yuechan had no ill intentions towards Qin Shi Yun, Ning Chuan walked towards the front desk, wanting to see why it was taking them so long to change rooms.
"No, no, no! We don't want a twin room. We want the Presidential Suite with a big bed. A really big one, even if several people sleep on it, it won't feel crowded..."
Tang Yuechan was constantly arguing with the receptionist.
Qin Shi Yun stood beside her, her face turning red, pretending not to know her.
Finally, the receptionist arranged a Presidential Suite, and with a strange look, watched Ning Chuan lead the two women upstairs.
"Wishing you a pleasant evening."
Ning Chuan smiled and checked the new room before leaving the hotel.
"Hey, Shi Yun, is he really not your sugar daddy? How come he doesn't seem jealous at all when he sees us together?"
"Yuechan, if you keep talking nonsense, I'll kick you out!"
"No, no, no, tonight I want to sleep while hugging you!"
"You shameless girl!"
"Hehe, this shameless girl loves you!"
...
When Ning Chuan returned to the courtyard, it was already late at night.
Ning Ruyan was still sitting on the recliner in the middle of the yard, waiting for him.
"Ruyan, why aren't you asleep?" Ning Chuan walked behind the recliner and gently massaged her shoulders.
"I'm waiting for my dear little brother to come back and explain things honestly to me," Ning Ruyan said with a smile that didn't reach her eyes.
"Explain what?"
"Explain who you took a shower with."
"Cough, cough..." Ning Chuan almost choked on his saliva.
"Just be honest. When did you start dating Sophia? Are you so sure about her already? Unlike you, I've already found several good candidates, and they will be moving in soon! You're deciding on Sophia so quickly. Isn't it too rushed? Or should you have more choices? Of course, I'm not saying Sophia is not good..."
Ning Ruyan immediately started advising earnestly, talking incessantly.
"Ruyan, that's enough."
Ning Chuan bent down, without any hesitation, lifted Ning Ruyan horizontally, and walked towards the room inside.
"Hey! Chuan, what are you doing? Put me down!" Ning Ruyan's expression changed immediately.
