Chapter 1578: Chapter 1582: Taking It Too Much to Heart, So Worrying
“She has no blood relation to my grandmother at all, they’re barely even distant relatives, so being able to stay at our home for that long might have already been her limit. Or maybe, she didn’t get along well with my grandmother and wanted to go home to reminisce, who knows,” Xie Yunlin glanced him over, smirked, “And… Captain Zhou, since when do you police solve cases based on ‘should’ instead of relying on evidence?”
He raised his wrist to check the time, “Sorry, Captain Zhou, my time is precious, can’t just chat with you for fun. You better find the evidence before coming to me, OK?”
Zhou Yun exhaled and nodded, reaching out his hand to him, “Alright, we’ll keep in touch whenever necessary.”
After shaking hands with Xie Yunlin, he left with his team in the car.
Ye Xingbei watched the police driving away, her mouth slightly open, “They, they just left?”
Looking at her naive expression, Gu Junzhu chuckled, “What else?”
Ye Xingbei blinked, “Did they… find anything?”
Gu Junzhu chuckled, “Just routine stuff.”
Ye Xingbei turned to Xie Yunlin, somewhat worried, “Big Brother, what if they really find evidence?”
“Relax, they won’t find any evidence,” Xie Yunlin said, “It happened at Xie’s ancestral mansion, it was my bodyguard who did it. Police have no eyewitnesses, no physical evidence; without that, and it’s not some major case, there’s no reason for them to dig deeper.”
“Exactly,” Gu Junzhu patted her shoulder to comfort her, “Xiaodie being roughed up is more serious than getting whipped dozens of times or having a wrist broken. Zhou Yun’s priority is to find out who roughed Xiaodie up, not who inflicted the other injuries.”
“Don’t worry, I’ve got it under control,” Xie Yunlin smiled at Ye Xingbei, “Be good, don’t worry, go back and rest with Fifth Brother, you must be tired. Get some rest.”
“Oh, okay!” Ye Xingbei replied, and after bidding farewell to Xie Yunlin and Xie Jinfei, she left in the car.
In the car, Ye Xingbei’s heart was still unsettled, feeling particularly uncomfortable.
Gu Junzhu pulled her into his arms and kissed her, “What’s on your mind, so worried?”
“I’m afraid the police will find out that Bai Xiaodie was hurt by my big brother,” Ye Xingbei hit her head lightly, “I was so foolish! I should have stopped my big brother at that time, there were many ways to deal with Bai Xiaodie, why take the risk himself?”
“Because if he hadn’t done it himself back then, he couldn’t relieve the hate in his heart. When hate reaches the extreme, you wish you could cut the person into pieces yourself, what’s a broken wrist?” Gu Junzhu rubbed the back of her head, “Relax, didn’t Xie Yunlin say so? No eyewitnesses, no physical evidence, they can’t just arrest people randomly, he will be fine.”
Ye Xingbei still couldn’t be at ease.
She’s been a law-abiding good child her whole life, never breaking any laws or regulations. Even though she knew Bai Xiaodie was a bad person and deserved it, she also knew the law wouldn’t go easy on her big brother just because Bai Xiaodie was a bad person.
The more she thought about it, the more she regretted not stopping her big brother.
Gu Junzhu shook his head helplessly, “Ye Xiaobei, stop being silly, if your big brother couldn’t resolve such a minor issue, how could he be the heir of the Xie Family? He might as well go home and plant sweet potatoes! Even if—thinking the worst case—they really find an eyewitness or physical evidence, there are plenty of people willing to take the blame for your big brother, he surely won’t end up in jail!”
