Chapter 1183: Are You Okay? Are You Still the Nian Xi I Know?
Jiang Yuning’s eyes were glowing. He was so excited his lips were shaking. “Did you just agree to let me clean your apartment?” he asked.
Nian Xi was amused and annoyed by his question. “Is this the right time to be talking about that?”
“Yes,” said Jiang Yuning, nodding emphatically.
Nian Xi didn’t answer. But she was deeply moved. No one had ever cared about her so much. Even with his injuries, he was more worried about her than himself. “You can clean my apartment when your injuries are healed. I’ll come to see you at the hospital.”
“I… I’ll be waiting for you.” Jiang Yuning finally got into the ambulance.
Whaat? The medical workers had seen many injured or ill people before and had even witnessed people saying their final goodbyes. But this was the very first time they heard people making cleaning arrangements before getting into the ambulance. Also, they’d never seen such a gorgeous guy talk so eagerly about cleaning someone else’s apartment. Now that was a head-scratcher!
…
About ten minutes after the ambulance left, Fang Qi and his colleagues showed up. Looking at the burning building, Fang Qi asked Nian Xi, “What the hell’s going on here? You told me you found the real murderer. Isn’t Zhao Yi the murderer?”
“Officer Fang, help!” wailed Yang Wenzhi, who was still cuffed near the building. Then he yelled nervously, “The lab caught fire. Officer Nian thought I was trying to kill her. That’s crazy!”
“Shut up.”
He was still lying. Nian Xu rushed over and gave him a few heavy slaps right on the face. Then she said, “Scum! You think I didn’t see your wicked little smile before you locked me in the lab? If Professor Jiang hadn’t been there, I’d have died in the fire. You’re so young but so evil. You planned to kill me and make it look like an accident, huh? I’m telling you, I still have the registration book.”
Yang Wenzhi’s expression froze.
Nian Xi threw the registration book at Fang Qi and said, “Zhao Yi’s innocent. It’s written clearly that after he left, Duan Yang did an experiment and used a bottle of liquid medicine in the lab. Look. This is Duan Yang’s handwriting. After that, Yang Wenzhi went into the lab. He’s the one who wrote Yang Wenzhi that love letter. He’s gay.”
Yang Wenzhi smiled coldly and said, “I’ll never confess. You have nothing on me! There’s not enough evidence from that registration book to prove I’m the murderer or wrote that love letter. The fire was an accident. We were doing experiments about the quantum engine. Electricity was everywhere in the lab. You guys accidentally hit the device when you were in there. That’s what caused the fire. Not me. You may be the police. But you can’t frame me.”
Nian Xi was so angry she wanted to kill him. She had seen many shameless criminals, but none as shameless as he was. “That’s ridiculous,” she said.
Ignoring Yang Wenzhi, she walked over to Fang Qi and said, “I don’t think we’ll get a confession out of him. Take him back to the station and start the interrogation.”
Sighing, Fang Qi said, “Feng Ji Chuan was right about one thing. The murderer’s smart. This is gonna be a problem. You coming?”
She shook her head no and said, “Jiang Yuning got hurt saving me. I need to go to the hospital to how he’s doing.”
Nian Xi then added, “I can’t believe I’m still alive. Jiang Yuning’s amazing. You don’t know that… Eh, you wouldn’t understand. We ordinary people just can’t fathom the world of geniuses. Tonight I feel like Detective Conan in Case Closed, the Japanese Manga series.”
Fang Qi extended his hand, touched her forehead and said ironically, “Um, are you feeling okay? Do you have a fever? Are you still the same Nian Xi I’ve always known?”
