Chapter 1167 — Who Is the Fiancée?

"Minor injuries? How is this minor? Whoever did this is already looking at charges of endangering public safety. What exactly happened here?" The more Wang Congming tried to cover things up, the more Qiu Lingshan felt something was being hidden. Could this really be connected to those earlier disappearances? Had the attacker this time gone missing too?
Wang Congming and Li Panghu exchanged a glance, and their expressions changed at once. This cop clearly had no intention of letting it go. That made things somewhat difficult.
"Well... here's the thing. My boss's fiancée is a police officer too. He lost a fight, and he doesn't want to lose face in front of her, so he doesn't want this blown up. Officer, for the sake of people you know, can't we just let this one go?" Wang Congming hesitated, then decided to tell the truth. "Besides, we're the victims. We're not pressing charges. So, you see..."
"His fiancée is with the police too? Who is she? What's her name?" Qiu Lingshan frowned. If it was as Wang Congming said, doing them a favor was no great matter. He was right, after all: if the victims were not pursuing it, there was no need for her to cling on.
"My boss's fiancée is named Qiu Lingshan. She's the captain of the criminal investigation unit at the Songshan City Police Bureau!" Wang Congming said.
"Wait... wait..." Wang Congming and Li Panghu did not know Qiu Lingshan, but how could Xie Yufeng not? These past days he had been studying the material his father had given him about Qiu Lingshan; he had looked at her photograph several times over. Now she was standing right before him — how could he not recognize her?
He had been crouching on the ground with his face covered all this time precisely because he feared Qiu Lingshan might recognize him, which would be too humiliating. Who would have thought Wang Congming and Li Panghu would go and give him away? Did they mean to be the death of him?
But when he tried to speak up and stop them, he could not stop them in time. He was a step too late, and Wang Congming had blurted it out. Xie Yufeng covered his face, speechless with shame.
"Gah?" Qiu Lingshan's eyes went wide. She stared at Wang Congming as though she had seen a ghost. "You're saying his fiancée is named Qiu Lingshan? And she's the captain of the criminal investigation unit at the Songshan police bureau?"
"That's right!" Wang Congming studied Qiu Lingshan's shocked expression, and his own heart began to pound. But the words were out and could not be taken back. Though he had no idea what was going on, he could only nod.
"I am Qiu Lingshan, but I don't know him," Qiu Lingshan said mildly, pointing at Xie Yufeng on the ground.
"Huh? You're Qiu Lingshan? You... you're our sister-in-law?" Wang Congming looked at Qiu Lingshan in disbelief. He had never imagined such a coincidence — running into Qiu Lingshan here of all places.
"I am Qiu Lingshan, but I am not your sister-in-law." Qiu Lingshan frowned. What exactly were these people up to? Passing themselves off as her fiancé — did they have any idea what they were doing? Instinctively, she found the whole lot of them highly suspicious, and she waved a hand at Liu Wangli. "Take them all in. These people are up to something."
