Seeing Tang Xi remain unmoved, a gleam of panic flickered across Lin Jiao’s eyes and she hurriedly said, “As you know, rather than being brought up by me, it was better you grew up in another family, right?”
“But you didn’t put me in an orphanage or a good family, but threw me into the mountains a few hundred miles away from City W instead, not even considering there would be wild animals that might eat me, or that I’d be frozen to death at night!”
Although her memories as Xiao Rou was fuzzy, she could still remember when Xiao Rou was in the Yao family, the Yao Family members had once said that they picked her up in the mountains. When Xiao Rou was taken back by the Xiao Family, she thought they lied to her. They had merely mistaken Xiao Rou as Xiao Jinning, but now it seemed that the Yao Family people did save Xiao Rou!
And this culprit still refused to admit her crime!
Lin Jiao shook her head. “No, I didn’t want to…”
“Enough. I’ve got the answer I want to know,” Tang Xi said coldly, looking down at Lin Jiao. “Looking at you, I’ve figured out something, which is that shamelessness can be inherited. You inherited it from Tao Yan, and then Xiao Jinning inherited it from you.” With that, Tang Xi turned around and walked outside.
Seeing that Tang Xi was leaving, Lin Jiao hurriedly yelled, “What about me?! Aren’t you going to release me?!”
Tang Xi looked back at Lin Jiao with a cold look, sneered and said, “Did I say I would release you? I said it depended on my mood, but I’m in a very bad mood!”
Lin Jiao looked at Tang Xi angrily and shouted, “Xiao Rou, you liar!”
Tang Xi didn’t look at her and went straight outside. Yang Jingxian saw Tang Xi come out and hurried to go to her. Yang Jingxian asked in a low voice, “Has she confessed?”
Tang Xi smiled, showed her a recording pen and shook it. “Let’s go. You can go back home. I’m going to see Xiao Jinning.”
She was going to avenge Xiao Rou and Lin Ru. They destroyed Lin Ru and Xiao Rou’s lives. As she was indebted to Xiao Rou, she was going to avenge them!
Xiao Jing frowned and looked at Tang Xi. “I’ll send you over.”
Tang Xi shook her head as she looked at Xiao Jing, who had dark circles under his eyes, and chuckled. “Sa, Jing, you two might as well go back home with Mom and have a sleep. If you still don’t take a rest, I’m afraid you’ll die from overworking!”
Xiao Jing glared at Tang Xi. “Then I’ll have two bodyguards accompany you.”
Tang Xi nodded and got into a black car. One of the bodyguards went to drive. Tang Xi said to him, “Go to the District Police Station.”
…
When Tang Xi arrived at the police station, two policemen were interrogating Xiao Jinning, who refused to confess. No matter what the two policemen said, she was sure that they did not dare to do anything rough to her, so she kept her mouth shut, looking arrogant. Standing in the observation room, Tang Xi looked at Xiao Jinning with a frown before glancing at the chief of the police station standing next to her and asking softly, “Chief Lan, has she been like this since yesterday?”
Chief Lan had come to greet Tang Xi after receiving a call from his superior and was surprised upon seeing Tang Xi, wondering what kind of privileges such a little girl could have, but when he heard the girl was called Xiao Rou, he immediately knew she really had great privileges. Nowadays, all the news was about her…
Those videos on the news didn’t show her face. It turned out that this girl was not only graceful but also very beautiful!
Chief Lan had just arrived here, so he didn’t know how Xiao Jinning had been behaving.
He looked at the two policemen in the interrogation room and was about to speak, when Tang Xi smiled and asked, “I wonder if Chief Lan could allow me to enter the interrogation room and talk with Xiao Jinning alone?”
Hearing Tang Xi change the topic, Chief Lan hurriedly nodded. “Sure, I’ll let someone take you in.”
Tang Xi thanked him and left the observation room. She hadn’t known that there was such a place in a police station before…
When Tang Xi entered the interrogation room, Xiao Jinning was keeping her eyes closed to rest. Hearing someone come in, she didn’t even open her eyes as if she was in her own home. The two policemen stood up to greet Tang Xi, who raised her hand to signal them to keep silent and nodded to them. After the two left, Tang Xi sat down on the chair opposite to Xiao Jinning.
Hearing the sound, Xiao Jinning smiled sarcastically with her eyes closed and said, “You changed people to interrogate me? But so what? I said I didn’t do it! I said I did it just because they irritated me and I didn’t know what I was talking about, which can’t be taken as evidence to arrest me!”
Hearing her well-organized words, Tang Xi raised her eyebrows as she gently knocked on the table while holding the recording pen and didn’t speak. Not hearing the other party growl, nor pound on the table, but gently knock on the table silently instead, Xiao Jinning slightly opened her eyes only to see Tang Xi sitting in front. She immediately straightened up and asked coldly, “Why are you here?!”
Tang Xi leaned back on her chair, put a hand on the armrest and gently knocked the table with her recording pen, looking at ease. She didn’t talk but merely sat there, knocking on the table casually. She looked at Xiao Jinning opposite her and gave a faint smile.
Feeling very uncomfortable being stared at like this, Xiao Jinning pounded the table and jumped to her feet. She put her handcuffed hands on the table and looked down at Tang Xi, saying, “You’ve come to have a good laugh at me, haven’t you?” She stared at her as if she would rush up and hit Tang Xi if the latter answered “yes”.
Tang Xi looked up at Xiao Jinning and replied lightly, “Angry? Uncomfortable? You’ve been like this since yesterday, but the police officers tolerated you. I’ve only…” She raised her wrist to look at her watch and smiled, continuing, “I’ve only been here for two minutes and you’re already being impatient?”
Xiao Jinning was going to run up to her, when Tang Xi glanced at the surveillance camera before turning to Xiao Jinning and asking with a smile, “Are you sure you’re going to hit me here? The police officers are watching you.”
Xiao Jinning narrowed her eyes and sat back sharply.
