Can We Say No to Divorce?-Chapter 768 - 519: Extra - Guarding Her (2)

Su Tianqing wanted to reach out a hand, to give her a comforting pat on the shoulder, but found that she had avoided him!

Such a gesture of comfort, yet she avoided it; does this mean that whatever I say, words seem so empty and powerless?

Su Tianqing lit a cigarette and then slowly, very slowly, took a drag.

Nobody spoke, even Gan Zi on the other end of the phone remained silent, quietly, very quietly waiting.

Song Ziyu didn’t want to admit her vulnerability. She took a deep breath, wiped her tears with a tissue, and saw that her phone was still flashing; Gan Zi hadn’t hung up on her.

Her heart warmed, there was someone who never interrogated her, but he already understood her.

There was someone, who, even in the midst of a late-night call, waited for her just as quietly and calmly.

Song Ziyu didn’t know what to say to Gan Zi, but making a call to him at this hour already seemed very impolite.

"Mr. Gan..." Song Ziyu called him, her voice not completely calm, "I’m sorry for disturbing you..."

"It’s okay!" Gan Zi’s voice was smooth as jade, "I haven’t slept yet, Xiaoyan just cooked noodles for Officer Bai and me. You haven’t eaten anything tonight, right? Have some milk, it will help you sleep."

"I will!" said Song Ziyu, "You should rest early too, I’ll be sleeping soon as well."

After hanging up the phone, Song Ziyu was completely calm.

"Director Su, did you make me call Professor Gan just to hear how he would comfort me?" Song Ziyu lifted her phone, "You’ve heard it, you can leave now!"

After the tears, the woman regained her strong demeanor!

Su Tianqing, on the other hand, sat down, put on new gloves, and placed the whistleblower puppet into a new bag, then turned on the corridor light to check for any clues.

After observing the situation outside, he came in and said, "There are two possibilities. One is that the murderer came to mystify things, and the other is that the deceased’s family came seeking justice. However, I tend to believe it’s the latter."

Song Ziyu, seeing that he was starting to discuss the case, didn’t have the heart to send him away, "Are you saying that the deceased’s family is playing tricks to make me solve the case faster?"

"Yes!" Su Tianqing nodded, "That’s more likely. If it was the murderer trying to mystify, then what’s his motive? Is he challenging you like this? Where would you find a murderer calling for justice for the victim?"

Song Ziyu also felt something was amiss, "If it was the deceased’s family who wanted the case solved sooner, there’s no need to use such bizarre methods! They could have just talked to me directly, I would definitely commit fully to solving the case, even if the family hadn’t approached me, I would still do my utmost to solve it."

This was her responsibility as the town’s leader; she had to be accountable to all the villagers.

Su Tianqing stared at her small face, no trace of tears visible; she had once again returned to her efficient, formidable style.

"I will keep these pieces of evidence and take them to Bai Ye at the forensic department first thing tomorrow morning," Su Tianqing said, "Come on, I’ll take you home to rest."

Song Ziyu prepared to leave, still feeling chilly, as if a cold dampness was continuously creeping up, seemingly trying to overwhelm and drown her over and over.

Su Tianqing took off his windbreaker and draped it over her.

Song Ziyu naturally wanted to refuse, but Su Tianqing’s expression turned cold: "I’m actually quite interested to see you cry!"

Song Ziyu turned away ignoring him, but still wore his tobacco-scented windbreaker.

It was clearly a caring and considerate gesture, yet he had to deliver it with a hurtful remark!

Or perhaps, he had long been accustomed to talking to her this way, and couldn’t change it momentarily.

Su Tianqing looked at her somewhat aggrieved appearance and wondered if he had been too harsh!

But then, she was also quite fierce!

When she was fierce to him, he didn’t feel particularly aggrieved.

Su Tianqing escorted her to her home; after Song Ziyu opened the door and entered, he also came in.

"What are you coming inside for?" Song Ziyu frowned, displeased.

Su Tianqing looked at her: "It’s three o’clock in the morning now, I won’t go back to the guesthouse. I’ll just lie on your sofa for a while. Go get a blanket for me!"

Song Ziyu: "..."

Is this person used to being arrogant, always getting what he wants, without considering that their relationship was already over.

"The man isn’t remarried, the woman isn’t remarried; you sleep in your room, I sleep on my sofa. I’m making do for one night on your sofa, and you are glaring at me?" Su Tianqing felt he was completely reasonable.

If it weren’t for her fear of ghosts, would he stay at her place?

However, he couldn’t say he was worried about her getting hurt. That would sound too pretentious, which isn’t his style!

"But, I have a boyfriend!" Song Ziyu still glared at him, "Having you stay here is inconvenient."

Su Tianqing snorted coldly: "Song Ziyu, don’t mention that beast of a boyfriend. If you anger me, you wouldn’t want to see what I might do, would you?"

"You... jerk!" Song Ziyu felt chills all over her body from his gaze; this man always took things by force!

"Right! I’ve always been like this, and you’ve seen it!" Su Tianqing admitted he was a scoundrel!

Song Ziyu was always subject to his violence, so she knew this man had no limits.

Ignoring him, she then ran into her bedroom, closed the door, and went to sleep.

Seeking help from others, that’s not her style!

Besides, in the middle of the night, whom could she ask for help?

Moreover, Gan Zi is so outstanding, she must try to approach him and make herself better!

Only, what should she do about Su Tianqing, this devil, how could she make him disappear!

Song Ziyu thought of the murder case, she almost wished she could kill Su Tianqing!

Would killing him finally put an end to everything and bring her peace?

But, she is always a rational person, and she would not do such a thing.

However, pretending to sleepwalk to scare Su Tianqing should be fine!

Thus, Song Ziyu got up, pretending to be in a daze, she opened the door of her room and stood in the living room.

Su Tianqing was lying on the sofa, he hadn’t fallen asleep yet. Seeing Song Ziyu come out of her room, he thought she was scared and sat up, calling out: "Ziyu..." 𝕗𝐫𝐞𝕖𝕨𝐞𝗯𝚗𝕠𝘃𝐞𝚕.𝐜𝗼𝚖

But, Song Ziyu ignored him!

Song Ziyu not only ignored him, but she also walked toward the kitchen.

Su Tianqing felt that something was wrong, so he also got up and followed her.

At that moment, Song Ziyu took a fruit knife about fifteen centimeters long from the kitchen.

Her long hair flew about, the hem of her nightdress swayed back and forth, her expression was indifferent, her gaze unfocused.

She originally pointed the fruit knife at her own chest, frightening Su Tianqing who yelled, "Song Ziyu, what are you doing?"

Song Ziyu remained silent, then walked towards Su Tianqing.

Su Tianqing worried she might hurt herself, thinking whether the case during the day had greatly affected her, wondering if she would do something extreme.

He too walked towards her, while saying, "Song Ziyu, give me the fruit knife!"

Song Ziyu certainly wouldn’t give it to him, she was just pretending to have sleepwalking to scare him!

Song Ziyu not only didn’t give it to him, but as he approached, she reversed her grip and slashed the fruit knife towards Su Tianqing.
