Luo Anning glanced at Xu Mengjie and asked hesitantly, “Lawyer Xu, what’s your relationship with Assistant Xu?”
Xu Mengjie coughed and pushed her gold-framed glasses up her nose bridge before answering calmly, “I’m Xu Zhiyuan’s younger sister.”
Luo Anning nodded and said, “Yeah, I could tell.”
Not only were their features similar, they even wore the same type of gold-framed glasses and behaved like each other!
The thought of it made Luo Anning chuckle a little. Hence, when she saw the awkward expression on Xu Mengjie’s face, she waved and said, “Don’t be mistaken, I just think that you’re just as amusing as Assistant Xu is.”
They’re not just amusing, they’re incredibly interesting!
Xu Mengjie pursed her lips and thought to herself, well, if being amusing is a compliment I’ll take it.
The two of them chatted for a while and soon began to break the ice. Luo Anning then tried to recall what happened during the incident.
Although Old Mr. Jiang, the senior official, allowed Luo Anning to be out on bail, there was still a posse of police officers guarding outside the Luxury Mansion. After all, the entire nation was paying attention to the case and there was also sufficient evidence to prove that Luo Anning was the main suspect.
Hence, it was necessary to take precautions against the possibility of Luo Anning fleeing!
In the Mayor’s office in the Government Office.
Feng Churui, Rong Yan and Tang Chao were gathered together for the murder case involving Rong Yan’s wife Luo Anning.
Tang Chao was initially on a business trip in the US where he happened to run into Lu Momo. He then thought about how he should tease that adorable girl a little. However, before he could even make a move, he was summoned back to the nation by Rong Yan.
Tang Chao stared at Rong Yan with amusement and whistled before saying, “Yan, your wife is the most troublesome woman I know! She just got back from a mishap in England a few days ago and yet, she’s already involved in a suspected murder case. I really take my hat off to her. Oh, by the way, weren’t you really mean to Luo Anning? Didn’t you say that killing should be done by the underlings? Why did she stoop so low as to do it herself? I don’t get it...”
As soon as Tang Chao ended his sentence, Rong Yan grabbed his cigarette box and flung it at Tang Chao who grabbed it in time and wiped his handsome face. Glowering at Rong Yan in displeasure, he said, “Hey, hey, hey, what are you doing? I was just making a casual comment. Did you really have to take it out on my beloved face? You’re so ruthless!”
Tang Chao’s anger had no effect on Rong Yan at all because the latter was extremely thick-skinned. He glanced at him with disdain and said sternly, “Luo Anning didn’t kill anyone.”
“You’re such a sellout! You forget your brothers when you have your wife. You actually hurt my face for the sake of Luo Anning!”
While Tang Chao was still complaining, Feng Churui cleared his throat, for fear that Tang Chao would become a punching bag for Rong Yan, if he dared to make a single sound.
“Alright, cut it out. Let’s talk about the Ou Lixue case,” Feng Churui broke his silence and caught their attention.
It was no wonder that they were childhood friends. They could put aside the bickering and immediately get serious about discussing serious matters, within just seconds. They truly shared a strong chemistry with each other.
Seeing that Xu Mengjie was done with sorting the documents, Feng Churui said, “Xu Mengjie found out from Luo Anning that Ou Lixue was emotionally unstable when she met Luo Anning. She even said out of the blue, that she regretted helping Luo Anning harm Luo Xinya.”
