Chapter 214: Chapter 211 I’m Going to Kiss You, You Can’t Refuse

"Officer, why are you arresting us? We were just having a gathering with the artists from my company to liven up the party. Is that illegal?"

Xie Fangmao still didn’t know the specifics and hoped for the best.

Because when the police burst in, those artists were fully clothed! It was just after ten in the evening; they had only had a little drink and hadn’t even started the main event.

Thank goodness they hadn’t started, otherwise it would have been over for them.

Huo Xun sneered, "An artist from your company is missing, and we’ve found a body with your group’s fingerprints as well as some other traces on it. Tell me, why shouldn’t we arrest you?"

In fact, no body had been found, but Huo Xun’s methods were always cunning, and sometimes just a few words were enough to trap a criminal. That’s what was happening now.

And after he finished speaking, Xie Fangmao really believed they had found a body, his face instantly changing color.

"How, how is that possible?"

He murmured in disbelief; hadn’t those people said they had taken care of it?

"Take him away!"

Huo Xun didn’t waste any more words and took the whole group back to the police station.

Downstairs, Qin Zhao sat inside the police station.

Huo Xun came over to her, "You should go home and rest. I’ll handle the rest. Once there’s a result, I’ll call you immediately."

Qin Zhao nodded, "Thank you for your hard work."

Huo Xun initially wanted to arrange a ride home for her, but Qin Zhao refused; she took a taxi instead.

Before she got home, she collected Nan Sijin’s soul.

Nan Sijin wasn’t ready to reincarnate yet; he wanted to see the villains punished before he could let go.

Today’s events had deeply impacted Qin Zhao.

Even knowing that there are many shadows and filth in this world, the sight of that darkness still made her shiver uncontrollably, and she felt compelled to do something.

Whether in the Canglan Realm or in this world, perhaps that was the meaning of her existence.

Walking into her home, she suddenly saw the banner she had casually placed in the corner of the foyer. The Criminal Police Team had sent it to thank her, and it read, "For courage in the face of evil, for being the conscience of society."

When she received the banner, she hadn’t thought much of it. But seeing those eight characters now, she was deeply moved.

The conscience of society.

How many people still had their conscience in this world?

Why would they commit such cruel acts? The boy who died looked even younger than Nan Sijin; he might not have even turned eighteen!

Qin Zhao picked up the banner and stared at the eight characters for a long time.

Finally, she decided to hang the banner up.

She wanted to see it every day as a reminder.

Exorcising ghosts wasn’t just for cultivation, but also for justice and conscience.

Qin Zhao fetched a chair, planning to hang the banner in the most conspicuous place in the living room.

"Qin Zhao, what are you doing?"

Chu Yan hadn’t gone to bed yet; hearing the noise, he knew she was back and came out of his room.

"Come here a moment."

Qin Zhao measured the position for the banner, then extended her right hand towards Chu Yan.

She meant for Chu Yan to bring over a hook, but he walked over, stared at her hand for a while, then tightly grasped it.

"???"

Qin Zhao turned to look and immediately her face darkened.

"What are you doing?"

"Aren’t you asking me to hold your hand?"

That coldly handsome face wore an expression of pure innocence.

It was as if he was saying, don’t worry, I’ll hold your hand; go ahead and hang it!

Qin Zhao withdrew her hand, bent her index finger, and knocked it on Chu Yan’s forehead. Thump, with a bit of force, followed by a tone full of frustrated affection.

"What I mean is for you to help me get a hook or a nail or something! Can’t you be a bit more in tune!"

"Alright, I’ll go get it for you."

Chu Yan then realized what she was asking for and went to the kitchen to get her a hook.

After hanging it up, he saw the eight big characters on the banner and couldn’t help but twitch the corner of his mouth.

Suddenly feeling like his home was filled with positive energy, he really wasn’t used to it.

After Qin Zhao finished hanging it up, just as she was about to jump down from the chair, Chu Yan very consciously caught her, lifting her off the chair and then couldn’t bear to let go.

"Running out again late at night."

He grumbled, a hint of grievance in his tone.

"Because there was something I need to take care of."

Qin Zhao thought of that matter, and her mood soured.

"Can you let go of me now?"

"Not unless you give me a kiss."

His gaze was intense as he stared at her and added, "Qin Zhao, I’m going to kiss you."

Qin Zhao was a bit crazed, glaring at him, "I didn’t agree to this!"

"You can choose to close your eyes, or keep them open. Those are your only two options; there’s no option to refuse."

"Chu Yan! Can you have a little shame?!"

"Fine, then we won’t kiss, I’ll let go."

Chu Yan walked over to the sofa, leaned his body towards it a bit, then suddenly let go of his hold on her. Qin Zhao felt a sense of weightlessness as if she was about to fall onto the sofa and instinctively reached out to wrap her arms around his neck.

There was a playful glint in his eyes as he said, "See, it was you who wanted to hold onto me."

Having said that, Chu Yan fell onto the sofa with her, landing on top, and kissed her squarely.

Qin Zhao’s eyes widened in shock, truly taken aback by his move.

Her Phoenix Eyes darkened a shade as Chu Yan reached out to cover her eyes, gently kissing her for a brief moment, not daring to linger too long, afraid that Qin Zhao might recover her senses and hit him.

Indeed, Qin Zhao was ready to hit someone, so he quickly stood up.

"Are you hungry? Want some late-night snacks?"

Instantly, the anger in her belly vanished.

Qin Zhao took a deep breath, "Let’s eat!"

He chuckled lightly and turned toward the kitchen.

Qin Zhao: "..."

Damn! Another day being completely handled!

The following afternoon, Qin Zhao received a call from Huo Xun.

"Xie Fangmao has committed suicide in prison."

"Suicide? Why?"

"Someone visited him last night, mentioned his family. During our interrogation, those people all said they had never seen Xu Cheng, even claiming the person in the photo just looked like Xu Cheng, but it wasn’t him.

I went to the Xu Family’s house this morning, and Xu Cheng’s family all said he was at home that day."

"The person who visited last night, was it someone sent by Xu Cheng? He mentioned Xie Fangmao’s family; it must have been a threat."

"That’s what I think too, but with their testimonials, we have no way of taking action against Xu Cheng."

After saying that, Huo Xun let out a deep sigh.

Chu Yan happened to be beside Qin Zhao while she was making the call.

He suddenly spoke up, "You just mentioned, Xu Cheng?"

"Yes, you know about last night’s incident, right? Xu Cheng is one of the suspects, but the others all said they hadn’t seen him, even claiming the person in the photo just resembled him.

Huo Xun had seen Xu Cheng before; he said that person definitely was him!"

"It’s indeed him, but if the Xu Family doesn’t want it to be him, then it won’t be him."

Chu Yan laughed mockingly, a trace of darkness flashing in his eyes.

After pondering for a moment, Qin Zhao then said to Huo Xun on the phone, "Is there a way to get Xu Cheng to the police station in person? I want to meet him."

"No, the Xu Family outright refused and even pressured my superiors. If I insist on bringing Xu Cheng in, the station will directly dismiss me."
