Can We Say No to Divorce?-Chapter 777 - 528 Extra: Scapegoat (3)

Qiao Xiaoyan didn’t think too much, "Don’t worry about it! Since Chen Chen himself can’t explain what he was doing at 3 AM, now that there’s a witness who saw him outside the hostel, it proves that Chen Chen is not the murderer!"

Bai Ye was somewhat depressed, as if all the evidence gathered so far had become useless.

The happiest was Qiao Xiaoyan, as she always sympathized with the underdog, Chen Chen.

Soon, Su Tianqing and Song Ziyu arrived.

Bai Ye first questioned Su Tianqing, "Did you really see Chen Chen outside the hostel at 3 AM?"

"I did see him!" Su Tianqing said confidently.

Bai Ye still refused to back down, "Giving false testimony in court is punishable by law, President Su!"

"From your tone, it sounds like you want to close the case quickly?" Su Tianqing hummed, "But, Officer Bai Ye, you should know, pinning a crime on an innocent person, is that something you can justify with your police uniform?"

"I only value evidence!" Bai Ye insisted on his principles, "Evidence speaks for everything!"

"Well, that’s good, I’m the eyewitness." Su Tianqing also stood by his view.

Qiao Xiaoyan jumped up, "That’s great, Young Master Su, luckily you couldn’t sleep and saw Chen Chen from your window at midnight, otherwise he’d be so pitiful!"

Bai Ye was displeased, "Qiao Xiaoyan, remember, you’re a forensic scientist, you need to be fair and objective, don’t be subjective."

Qiao Xiaoyan quietly stuck out her tongue, then bit her lip, indicating she would not talk anymore.

Song Ziyu saw Su Tianqing and Bai Ye arguing over official matters, so she stepped in to mediate, "Alright, everyone is here for the case, no need to be angry, we can discuss different positions and evidence, right?"

Su Tianqing lazily hummed!

Bai Ye then walked outside, "I will go check again!"

Qiao Xiaoyan also followed, "I’ll go too!"

"Bai Ye, wait for me!" Qiao Xiaoyan said, catching up to him, "What’s up? You’re angry, aren’t you?"

Bai Ye sighed, then looked at her, "Actually, although you are a genius in forensics, you really aren’t cut out for it, because you’re too kind-hearted, everyone knows that Su Tianqing is lying!"

Qiao Xiaoyan innocently blinked, "Why didn’t I see President Su lying? Bai Ye, do you have a grudge against him?"

"What grudge could I have against him? I am a police officer, he is a CEO, I don’t love the Mayor, and have nothing to do with him." Bai Ye said, "A policeman’s intuition tells me, President Su is downright lying, he is covering up for Chen Chen!"

"But you know deep down in your heart, Chen Chen is being wronged!" Qiao Xiaoyan looked at him, "Come on, don’t be mad, let’s go find more evidence together! I’ll go with you, okay?"

Bai Ye looked into her eyes shining with brilliance, he had always thought forensic scientists were cold, unemotional, and meticulous, but Qiao Xiaoyan, this genius forensic scientist, made him feel a different way.

"Alright! Let’s go!" Bai Ye said, "Aren’t you tired? You’ve been running around these past few days! You are a forensic scientist, not a police officer. Investigating and gathering evidence is our duty."

Qiao Xiaoyan shook her head, "I don’t have anything else to do sitting around, do you think I can contemplate like Professor Gan? I can’t!"

"Let’s go!" Bai Ye said.

After the two left together, Gan Zi, who had remained silent, looked at Su Tianqing, silently staring at him.

Su Tianqing lost his temper, "What is it? Why keep staring at me? Just because you can’t find the murderer doesn’t mean you have to look at me like that!"

"What are you talking about?" Song Ziyu glanced at him, "Professor Gan hasn’t said anything!"

Gan Zi averted his gaze, and when he looked at Song Ziyu, his eyes radiated a gentle glow, "How is everything going at the craft site?"

"It’s going well, President Su has rearranged the funds." Song Ziyu said, "Professor Gan, it’s Monday the day after tomorrow, are you going back tomorrow?"

Before Gan Zi could reply, Su Tianqing said, "Professor Gan, you might as well go back to teaching at the university! Here is a remote place, why linger? We surely can’t expect you to teach at the elementary school!"

"I’ll decide tomorrow." Gan Zi said.

The three of them sat without further conversation.

Gan Zi was bound to leave the town sooner or later, has he ever clearly told Song Ziyu that he likes her?

Su Tianqing has been relentlessly pursuing Song Ziyu. Although he never explicitly confessed his feelings to her, his love for this woman has been growing.

Song Ziyu had long stopped demanding love. Gan Zi was a man she once had a crush on, and Su Tianqing was a man she once loved with all her heart; both were men who had stopped in the river of her life!

Wherever Gan Zi goes, whatever he does, she gives him her utmost respect!

Thus, to her, love no longer had talks of gains or losses.

Seeing that none of the three were speaking, the village chief came over and said, "Mayor Song, you’ve arrived. Please come in and have a seat. I’ll make tea for you..." 𝒇𝙧𝙚𝓮𝔀𝓮𝒃𝙣𝓸𝒗𝒆𝒍.𝙘𝒐𝒎

"Thank you, village chief!" Song Ziyu walked in and put down her handbag.

The village chief prepared three cups of tea and brought them over. Song Ziyu asked him, "Are all the children of school-going age in the village attending school?"

"They all are!" the village chief said gratefully, "Thank you, Mayor Song. Although I’m not well-educated, I understand that knowledge can change fate. Thank you for coming, allowing our children here to go to school even without money..."

"Mr. Su has contributed a lot of money," Song Ziyu plainly stated, "He plans to build another elementary school so that all school-aged children can attend school."

"Thank you, Mr. Su!" The village chief looked towards Su Tianqing.

Money has never been an issue for Su Tianqing!

Before coming here, his foremost thought was to win back Song Ziyu.

However, after arriving, he gained a deeper understanding of the woman Song Ziyu.

Indeed, she had more responsibility and more ideas than women of her age.

’A woman’s place is in the resistance,’ this is more exemplified in her.

Su Tianqing nonchalantly waved his hand and arrogantly said, "All my wealth belongs to Song Ziyu!"

Village chief: "..."

Song Ziyu: "..."

Gan Zi: "..."

The village chief was a wise man; this was Mr. Su pursuing Mayor Song! He immediately said, "Our town is blessed by Mr. Su’s light. In the future, both Mr. Su and Mayor Song are benefactors of our town!"

Song Ziyu bluntly said, "Who cares about your wealth? Su Tianqing, you have no shame!"

"I’m indeed shameless! What if I throw myself at you, how about that?" Su Tianqing declared boldly!

Village chief: "..."

The village chief was moved to tears! Why does no one throw themselves at him!

Song Ziyu proudly snorted, "Even if you throw yourself at me, I don’t want it!"

Gan Zi watched the two bickering and suddenly felt like he couldn’t get a word in!

Although Su Tianqing was ten years older than Song Ziyu, there seemed to be no generation gap between them!

The village chief was even less able to get a word in; he silently shed tears and then went out to smoke!

Gan Zi silently smoked, he stood up, ready to walk outside.

"Mr. Gan, where are you going?" Song Ziyu followed him.

Su Tianqing scoffed, "Do you even need to ask? He’s anxious to solve the case; he’s going to the crime scene to verify again! Song Ziyu, come back to me, what are you doing, you’ve been able to eat these past few days, and thinking about vomiting again, aren’t you?"

Song Ziyu courageously said, "I have to overcome myself! Besides, I won’t vomit if I go with Mr. Gan! If I go with you, I’ll definitely vomit!"
