"Mr. He, without a search warrant, we have no right to search someone else's home, and you don't have one either," the police officer reminded him.
"But I need to find my sister." He Tian was furious. "If you keep dragging your feet like this, she might kill my sister!"
"He Tian, you have no evidence, so you'd better not talk nonsense." I reminded him with a stern face, "This isn't your home, so you'd better watch your words. Besides, I didn't invite you in, and I can kick you out anytime!"
The police officer looked at He Tian sternly: "Mr. He, if you continue to cause trouble like this, we will have to ask you to leave."
He Tian was furious: "You're all in cahoots!"
"Men, throw him out!" I ordered coldly.
Two bodyguards came over, grabbed He Tian, and threw him out.
I told the police, "I won't hurt him, but he came in with you without my permission, which is trespassing, and I have the right to kick him out."
The police didn't say anything.
I smiled and said, "Gentlemen, I will cooperate with your investigation. I have nothing to hide. But I would like to remind you that He Xi is mentally unstable and seriously ill. However, she has family members who are living a miserable life. If they really care about her, why don't they treat her better?"
The police officer asked, puzzled, "So what do you mean?"
“What I mean is, He Tian himself said that He Xi is incredibly strong when she goes crazy, and she has escaped several times.” I smiled slightly: “The house where she was kept has long been dilapidated. After several heavy rains this year, the walls of the house collapsed with a push. Maybe He Xi pushed them down herself and then ran away.”
“What you said makes sense,” the policeman said. “But we saw your car parked at the village entrance for a long time.”
"It's like this, a little girl had an epileptic seizure during the day, and we helped her. We wanted to ask her mother, but she was afraid to say it in front of her elders, so we made an appointment. However, I waited a long time, and she never showed up, so I left." I instructed, "When you two go to verify this with her, please avoid her family members, after all..."
The police officer nodded: "We'll keep an eye out. If you see He Xi, please be sure to let us know."
"Yes, I will." I stood up: "Gentlemen, let me see you off."
"Miss Shen, you're too kind. We heard you're going to a free clinic tomorrow, so we won't disturb your rest any longer." They left.
I turned around and went back to the villa.
There was a noise coming from the kitchen.
I went over and saw Huo Yubai taking ingredients out of the refrigerator.
"I'm hungry." He turned to look at me. "Would you like to eat something together?"
"Okay." I walked over. "Why don't you let someone else do it?"
“I prefer to cook for myself.” He turned and took the ingredients out of the refrigerator.
I frowned: "You can cook?"
"Is that strange?" he asked back.
"Then why did you tell me before that you didn't like the food your aunt cooked? If you can cook, why don't you cook for yourself!" I angrily rebuked.
He smiled, his face as handsome as jade: "I don't like the food Auntie makes. It's not that it's bad, it just doesn't taste like home. I don't cook for myself because I didn't have the energy at the time, and also because I don't like eating alone. If I'm all alone, I'd rather not eat."
"You're such a hassle." I frowned. "Then why do you want to do it yourself now?"
"Because of you." He looked at me earnestly, his dark eyes deep, his pupils focused only on me: "The thought of having dinner with you fills me with motivation."
My lips twitched.
"Go wait outside. We'll be cooking soon, and there will be cooking fumes in the kitchen." He was very considerate.
I thought about it.
“I know you can’t do it, so I’ll just do a little something simple. It won’t tire you out.” He spoke gently, his eyes full of smiles.
"Do whatever you want." I walked out.
I sat down on the sofa, picked up my laptop from the table, and started working on some tasks.
I just couldn't completely calm down; I kept glancing into the kitchen every now and then.
The kitchen is open-plan, and you can see the entire kitchen from the living room.
Huo Yubai, dressed in a white shirt and black trousers, with a halter-neck apron, held a kitchen knife in one hand and pressed down on a potato with the other. His movements were fluid and graceful, and he quickly turned the potato into shredded potato.
I don't know where he learned that.
However, it is indeed pleasing to the eye.
Especially when he lowers his head slightly, strands of hair fall gently, obscuring his handsome and deep-set eyes, making his nose appear even more prominent, and his thin lips curve slightly upwards, with a perfect arc, like a seductive little fox.
A handsome man is a source of trouble!
To avoid being discovered, I turned away and continued working.
I just can't concentrate, and it's very frustrating.
I do not know how long it has been.
He suddenly appeared behind me, his chin resting gently on my shoulder. He turned his head and whispered in my ear, "Dinner is ready, Professor Shen. Stop working."
My ears felt tingly and numb, like I was being electrocuted.
"How did you suddenly appear!" I tried to get away.
He pinned me between his chest and the back of the sofa, and no matter how I moved, I couldn't get away. The computer was on my lap, containing most of my work data, so I didn't dare to move too much for fear of breaking it.
He saw that I was hesitant to act rashly, so he became even more unscrupulous, squeezing out my space.
In the end, I huddled in a corner of the sofa, using one hand to protect my laptop.
He was very close, and the scent of cedarwood filled the air.
"What are you going to do?" I frowned slightly.
"Why are you hiding?" he asked instead of answering.
"You were the one who came closer." I said angrily, "What else could I do?"
He chuckled softly, "Then why are you hiding? Are you afraid of me?"
I pursed my lips.
"It seems not," he laughed. "Is it that you can't hold on?"
"You're overthinking it." I was speechless.
"Am I overthinking things?" He moved closer, almost hugging me. "But when I was cooking just now, you kept staring at me, and I didn't say anything."
I was taken aback.
he knows?
"If I had been even slightly less composed, I would have cut my finger." He smirked. "Then I'd have to come to you."
"Huo Yubai, do you think what I said in front of Dai Chen'an that day gave you the wrong impression?" I bluffed, "I only said that to get rid of him, I don't like you."
Huo Yubai's eyes darkened slightly: "You don't like me, but I like you. Whether it's true or not, I'll treat it as true."
I:"……"
"Let's eat," he said, changing the subject.
It seems like it's always the same; just when I'm about to explode, he changes the subject.
"Huo Yubai!" I was furious. "Do you think you can control me?"
