Ye Lanchen had already arrived. He parked his car recklessly and headed into the building immediately without hesitation.
Things were still going on as usual in the interrogation room.
The questions posed by Chu Wuyou sounded meaningless but each of those queries served a purpose. Of course, the rest of them did not know that, including Mu Shaobai.
Indeed, Mu Shaobai did a good job of concealing his true self but nothing could escape her eyes. Chu Wuyou could catch any slight or subtle change in a person swiftly and accurately – because this was the nature of her job.
Her last question was to verify an inference made based on the earlier probing.
She realized at the time of her inquiry that Mu Shaobai’s face revealed obvious awkwardness as well as an unnatural rage. Everyone else witnessed that too.
However, Chu Wuyou detected upon her inquiry that there was devastating grief hiding in the depth of his eyes, alongside a hint of suspected self-abasement. Besides, his body seemed to have tensed up for a split second.
Chu Wuyou knew very well which reactions were genuine and which were displayed intentionally to fool others’ eyes.
“I heard that Mr. Mu built a massive business. You’re not married at this age and you don’t have any children. It’s a great shame that no one can inherit your legacy.” Chu Wuyou’s tone had changed. She sounded like a money worshipper craving for a piece of juicy gossip.
Mu Shaobai’s slightly tensed body relaxed visibly at the sound of her words.
On the other side of the interrogation room, dissatisfaction was written over Fifth Young Master Shen’s face. What the hell was this woman doing here?
Why did it bother her if someone else’s family possession was lacking a successor? Was she hoping to get a lion’s share of the wealth?
What was Big Brother thinking when he recommended this woman?
“However, Mr. Mu, your siblings can also inherit your wealth.” Chu Wuyou added out of the blue as the corners of her lips twitched into a faint smile.
“I don’t have any siblings,” Mu Shaobai replied almost immediately. During that split second, Chu Wuyou detected his relaxed posture became tense once more and a complication expression flashed across his eyes. Anyway, Chu Wuyou had already acquired more than enough information.
“That’s all from me.” Chu Wuyou ended the interrogation abruptly.
She already obtained the answers to her doubts.
That was all? The announcement left Fifth Young Master Shen totally flabbergasted. What was happening? A completely pointless conversation was all she needed? That was the end of things?
Was she regarding this important case as a mere trifle?
He would love to question her about her findings. Did she finally know who was going to inherit the business?
Fortunately, he did not have high hopes the moment she entered the interrogation room. However, Third Elder Brother instructed that she must stay.
He dared not disobey Third Elder Brother’s order!
“Miss Tang, sorry to inconvenience you but I really want to hear more about your opinions on this particular case. Could you please step into my office for a minute?” Fifth Young Master Shen approached Chu Wuyou the minute she left the interrogation room.
Chu Wuyou detected the hint of respect in his tone. His attitude was sincere and he had controlled his expression well. She had to give him credit for his amazing cover. Any other person would not suspect his genuineness but Chu Wuyou made note of that slight quiver in his voice. She knew he was not speaking from the bottom of his heart.
Besides, it was evident that he failed to comprehend the meaning behind her interrogating effort in the room earlier, which in turn revealed his disagreement over her methods. If so, why would he request to have a discussion with her?
If he did not understand her real intentions, this arrogant man should probably be scornful of her at this moment.
Therefore...
“There’s no need for that. I’ve got something else to do.” Chu Wuyou turned around, intending to leave.
“Miss Tang...” However, Fifth Young Master Shen picked up his pace to block her way. Perhaps he realized the desperation in his actions thus he explained almost casually, “Don’t you have anything to talk about regarding the case, Miss Tang?”
“Chief Shen’s trying to make me stay.” Chu Wuyou darkened her gaze. Her tone was affirmative instead of skeptical. She did not want to waste time talking nonsense to him nor did she want to invite unnecessary trouble.
If Fifth Young Master Shen was trying to prolong her visit on purpose, then she...
