“Do you take me for an idiot or something? Anyway, does Jinghao and Xinyan know about this?” Su Zhan got back on topic.
“I haven’t had a chance to tell them.”
He didn’t want to bother Lin Xinyan, who was still in the hospital.
“My schedule is clear for today. You wanna go see them at the hospital?” Su Zhan looked back at him.
Shen Peichuan gave it some thought and replied, “Maybe later tonight. I’ve got some things to take care of back at the station.”
“Sure, tonight it is!”
Su Zhan dropped Sang Yu off at Shen Peichuan’s house before heading towards the police station.
“Thanks! Sorry to have troubled you like this!” Shen Peichuan said while getting off the car.
“Don’t give me that bullsh*t! They should lock you up in there!”
“I can lock you up if you keep that attitude with me!” Shen Peichuan chuckled.
“Oh, ha ha, very funny.” Su Zhan stuck his head out the car window and gestured at him. “Get over here!”
“Why?”
“Just do it!”
This guy…
Shen Peichuan walked over reluctantly and asked, “Fine… What do you want?”
Su Zhan gave him a weird smile and winked at him, much to Shen Peichuan’s confusion.
“What is it? Are you going to tell me or not? If not, I’m gonna walk away now!”
Man, how dense is this guy? Su Zhan cleared his throat and leaned closer to him.
“Have you two slept together?”
“F*ck off!” Shen Peichuan shouted and walked off.
Su Zhan laughed when he saw his reaction. “You’re not still a virgin, are you?”
Shen Peichuan ignored him and kept walking.
Hahaha! How the hell does a guy like Shen Peichuan even exist nowadays? Su Zhan felt his mood improve significantly at the thought of that.
“Deputy Chief Shen, are you okay? The guys from the Prosecutors’ Office came by asking where you were, so we told them you went home. Nothing good ever comes out of those guys…” one of the policemen at the station asked when they saw Shen Peichuan return.
They were all very concerned about him.
“Yeah, I’m fine,” Shen Peichuan said and made his way towards his office.
“Shen Peichuan?” Song Yaxin bumped into him when she came out of Captain Song’s office.
She had a surprised look on her face, as if she didn’t expect him to return so soon.
Shen Peichuan turned around and saw her standing behind him with a vicious expression on her face.
“You told my dad about me?” She was here at the station because Captain Song called her over.
He knew that the prosecutors came by earlier, and he had also stumbled upon pictures of Shen Peichuan and Sang Yu in his daughter’s phone a few days ago.
Captain Song found out about the report from the prosecutors, and they showed him the pictures provided by the whistleblower.
That was when he fully understood what happened and called his daughter over.
He was only planning on asking her if she was the whistleblower, but she didn’t know that and ended up telling him the true reason behind her divorce instead.
Captain Song was so angered by what he heard that he nearly fainted from it.
As a result, Song Yaxin thought Shen Peichuan had ratted her out to him.
Shen Peichuan shot her a disdainful look. “I’ve always been a man of my word, and I still am.”
“You’re lying! You must’ve told him! There’s no way my dad would know about it!” Song Yaxin shouted angrily, her face twisted with rage.
Shen Peichuan stared coldly at her. “You know what you did. As for how Captain Song found out… Well, what can I say? There’s no such thing as keeping a secret forever.”
“You…” Song Yaxin went speechless and glared at him fiercely. If looks could kill, Shen Peichuan would’ve been dead a thousand times over.
Suddenly, she broke into a grin and sneered at him. “Why don’t you drop the act already? You’re no different from all the other men out there! I bet it must be fun doing it with a university student, huh?”
Shen Peichuan’s expression grew ice-cold. “You’d better watch your tongue!”
Song Yaxin cackled. “So what if I don’t, huh? What are you gonna do about it?”
The scariest kind of person is one who has nothing to lose, just like her. There’s no way to reason with them at all.
Shen Peichuan thought to himself and reached for the door handle, but Song Yaxin was quicker and grabbed it first.
He immediately took a step back from the door to put some distance between them and glared at her with disdain in his eyes.
“What the hell do you think you’re doing?”
“You went against your word, Shen Peichuan! If I’m going down, I’m taking you down with me! I’ll make sure you…”
“You’re the whistleblower.”
Shen Peichuan cut her off before she could finish.
“We all have our boundaries. If you try anything funny again…”
“You’ll do what, huh? Hit me?” Song Yaxin figured he wouldn’t dare hit her and continued to provoke him. “Go on, do it! Hit me!”
“Yaxin!”
Captain Song was fuming when he came over.
“Get the hell out of here right now!” he ordered.
Song Yaxin was indignant as she felt that Shen Peichuan had lied to her.
“But he…”
“Are you trying to give me a stroke?” Captain Song held a hand to his chest, barely able to catch his breath.
Song Yaxin bit her lip and stomped her feet angrily before storming out of the police station.
Captain Song took a minute to calm down before saying, “Come in, Peichuan.”
Shen Peichuan did as told and followed him into his office.
“Close the door,” Captain Song said.
Shen Peichuan closed the door behind him and turned around, only to see Captain Song standing in front of him with his hands behind his back. He had lost a lot of weight ever since he got sick.
“Captain Song…”
“When did you find out about the reason behind her divorce?”
