Chapter 1548 — The Sudden Visit

"Ah? Oh, right, right, right!" Shen Yushu scurried back to pull her clothes on, muttering to herself. "If it was only Brother Arrow, there'd be no point getting dressed - he's seen it all anyway, and he'll be seeing it all again once I'm his little wife. It's just that Wu Chengtian is such a nuisance!"
"Heh..." Tang Zhi could not help laughing. "Even so, you can't go around naked forever. What will you do if Wei Zhao grows tired of looking?"
"Hmm... I suppose you're right! Thank you for the tip, Sister Tang Zhi!" Shen Yushu nodded, thoroughly convinced.
The group headed downstairs, where Wu Chengtian had already gone to answer the door. The three people on the doorstep, however, were unwelcome guests, and Wu Chengtian did not dare take it upon himself; he meant to consult Gu Mengyao first.
In any case, Wu Chengtian belonged to the world of the great families, and Song Lingshan could hardly do anything to him.
"Song the Fox?" Finding not Wei Zhao but Song Lingshan and her companions at the door, Shen Yushu's face fell at once. "What are you doing here? And who might you two be?"
"Young lady, watch your tongue. We are here to investigate a case. Do not bring trouble down on yourself," Wang Hekan warned her.
"Investigate a case? What case?" Shen Yushu blinked and frowned. "We're revising our lessons here. We don't have time."
"You...!" Wang Hekan was livid at Shen Yushu's words. He jabbed a finger at her and rounded on Song Lingshan. "Look at this - look at what sort of people they are! What did I tell you? They're in league with the suspect, the whole lot of them!"
"You're the one who's a suspect!" Shen Yushu shot Wang Hekan a glare.
"That's enough, Xiaoshu." Gu Mengyao had no wish to keep sparring with Song Lingshan, and she sensed that a call at this hour had to mean something... Could it be about Wei Zhao? Her heart tightened at the thought. "Officer Song, is something the matter?"
"There is. May we come in and talk?" Song Lingshan nodded.
"Very well." Gu Mengyao signaled Wu Chengtian to open the villa door, and Song Lingshan and the other two stepped inside.
Song Lingshan was far from pleased by Wang Hekan's eagerness to play the hothead. Wei Zhao had not even been confirmed as a suspect yet, and here Wang Hekan went, labeling these people the suspect's accomplices! He did not so much as look at whom he was dealing with - one from the Chen family, one from the Wu family. If he truly angered them, would they let him off?
In the villa's sitting room, Song Lingshan and Liu Wangli settled themselves casually along one side of the sofa. Wang Hekan, for his part, planted himself smack in the middle of it as though he were the one in charge.
"Officer Song, to what do we owe this sudden visit?" Gu Mengyao was the mistress of the house, so naturally it was she who should speak first.
