Chapter 28: The Beauty's Heart is Open, But the Water Remains Unmoved
"Master, when did you arrive in Jiangcheng? Why didn't you tell me?"
Li Huimin wrinkled her nose, reached out and shook Old Pu's arm, her tone carrying a hint of feigned dissatisfaction.
Her adorable demeanor was completely different from that of the decisive and efficient deputy captain at the police station.
"The Municipal Public Security Bureau had an urgent matter and rushed over overnight. As soon as they arrived, they went straight to the interrogation room."
Old Pu patted the back of her hand and explained with a smile, "I was planning to catch up with you after I finished this case, but I didn't expect to run into you earlier than planned."
Old Pu continued with a smile.
"Yes, yes, junior sister, that's exactly what Master and I were planning. We wanted to find a quiet place after this and have a meal with you."
Huang Yaopeng quickly nodded in agreement, wanting to make his presence felt in front of his junior sister.
He originally thought that his junior sister should at least talk to him more and chat more, since they hadn't seen each other for almost a year.
But to his utter surprise, after exchanging only two words with her master, Li Huimin turned and walked past him, her gaze falling directly on Su Nan in the crowd.
now,
Li Huimin paused, her eyes changing as she intently scrutinized Su Nan.
From the faded blue and white school uniform collar, to his hands tucked into his pockets, to Su Nan's calm and unwavering expression.
Throughout the entire process, Li Huimin's gaze was gentle, almost like silk.
"..."
Seeing his junior sister like this, Huang Yaopeng was instantly filled with jealousy, and sourness welled up inside him.
He understood that look all too well; that's how he always looked at his junior sister—his concern and focus were impossible to hide.
The way his junior sister was looking at a high school student who hadn't even grown his hair yet made his face darken instantly. His fingers gripped the pen and made a cracking sound, and his cheeks tensed up.
Jealous!
A mix of emotions!
"Hello, Su Nan, my name is Li Huimin, thank you for what you just said."
Li Huimin completely ignored her senior brother Huang Yaopeng's expression, quickly walked up to Su Nan, and extended her hand.
Her hands were still a little cool from washing them, and her voice softened, becoming clear and melodious as she spoke.
"oh."
Su Nan raised his eyelids and reached out to shake her hand.
The moment their palms touched, he felt that Li Huimin's hand was soft and boneless, with long, clean fingers and a slightly cool touch. There was only a thin callus on the base of her thumb and forefinger from years of holding a gun.
Coupled with her stunning beauty, it is indeed a feast for the eyes.
Seeing that their hands were already clasped, Su Nan was about to let go when Fan Kexin, who was standing nearby, came over with bright eyes. She grabbed Su Nan's other hand and shook it, her eyes crinkling with laughter.
"Hello, hello, my name is... my name is Fan Kexin, it's nice to meet you, thanks to you just now."
Her hands were warm and had a sweet scent of orange hand cream.
At this moment, the scene suddenly became strange.
Su Nan's hands were each held by two stunningly beautiful women with exceptional looks and figures.
He tried to pull his hand back.
But neither of the girls let go; instead, they gripped their hands even tighter.
It seems they want to hold hands for a long, long time.
The scene gives the impression that the two people are each holding Su Nan's hands.
"..."
The police officers standing around were stunned, exchanging bewildered glances.
"Is this still the cool and domineering woman we know?"
"I dreamt about her, even just a single finger of hers, for ages, and I still hadn't gotten my way when I woke up. But this scene in front of me... why does it all feel so unreal?"
At that moment, another police officer spoke.
"Yeah, leading two at once, it's fucking unreal!"
Seeing his prized student behave so frivolously, Master Pu couldn't help but clear his throat.
"Ahem!"
He coughed loudly.
Li Huimin then realized what was happening, her face instantly turning red to her ears, and even her neck was tinged with a light pink. She quickly let go of her hand, took half a step back, and shyly smoothed the stray hairs by her ear.
As for Fan Kexin, she also awkwardly loosened her grip, scratched her head, and stuck out her tongue.
"Master, what are you all doing gathered here? What happened?"
Li Huimin composed herself, changed the subject, and looked at Elder Pu to ask a question.
Huang Yaopeng finally got a chance to speak, stepped forward and recounted what had just happened in detail, his tone full of dissatisfaction and disdain.
"So that's how it is. Captain Luo insisted that this high school student interrogate those three tomb raiders."
My mentor and I have been interrogating them for almost thirty hours, our mouths are practically worn out, but we still can't get them to talk. This kid hasn't even studied criminal psychology systematically, isn't this just pure nonsense?
He thought his junior sister would definitely side with him and their master after hearing this, given their close relationship as disciples and the fact that this was their area of expertise.
But who knows,
Li Huimin's eyes lit up even more after hearing this.
She grabbed Old Pu's arm, her voice sweet but her tone incredibly firm.
"Master, let me tell you, this young man is incredibly talented, extremely talented! Kexin and I admire him from the bottom of our hearts. Why don't we let him give it a try?"
"..."
Old Pu was stunned. His hand, which was holding his reading glasses, froze in mid-air, and his face was filled with shock.
He knew his apprentice too well. This girl was extremely arrogant. Not to mention boys her own age, she hadn't even given a second glance to the sons of the municipal bureau or the seniors who had made great contributions.
Let alone expressing genuine admiration.
Now, these words are being said to an 18-year-old high school student in a school uniform. Why do I feel like my worldview has been violently shaken?
"This...you..."
Huang Yaopeng was dumbfounded; he could fit an egg in his open mouth, and he stood frozen in place.
He thought he had misheard. He knew his junior sister's personality better than anyone; she never praised people easily, let alone spoke highly of someone like this.
He even wondered if he was hallucinating from staying up for nearly thirty hours.
"Junior sister, is he...is he really capable?"
Huang Yaopeng came to his senses, his voice a little strained.
"If even the teachers and I can't crack this bone, how could a student who hasn't even graduated yet manage it?"
"Senior brother, I believe in him, I'm willing to vouch for him!"
Li Huimin nodded heavily, her chin slightly raised, her tone resolute and without the slightest hesitation.
The corridor fell silent the moment those words were spoken.
Pu Lao's old face changed repeatedly as he looked at his apprentice with disbelief on his face.
Huang Yaopeng felt as if he had been struck by lightning; his whole body went numb, his chest felt tight, and he couldn't catch his breath.
The police officers standing around gasped in shock, all turning their gazes to Su Nan, their eyes wide with disbelief.
Everyone knows Li Huimin's influence in the Municipal Bureau. Her guarantee was not just empty words. If anything goes wrong, she will bear all the responsibility.
Su Nan, who was being watched by everyone, remained standing still, his face expressionless, not even lifting his eyelids, as if the person they were praising so highly was not him at all.
Su Nan felt absolutely nothing, nor did he experience the same fervor that others had lauded.
Just as an elephant never cares about an ant's opinion of him, let alone the surprise of these people, even the blind worship of Luo Shaofeng and Lin Luoxue, who wished they could worship him, never made him feel the slightest bit arrogant.
"..."
Seeing Su Nan's calm demeanor, Huang Yaopeng became even angrier. Gritting his teeth and unwilling to give up, he moved closer to Li Huimin.
"Junior sister, he really has absolutely no interrogation experience. He hasn't even studied systematic criminal investigation or criminal psychology. Interrogation is no joke; you should know that better than I do!"
Huang Yaopeng said in a low voice.
My junior sister has exceptional talent and has studied with the teacher, so how could she not understand this common sense?
"So what if I haven't studied it? Others might not be able to, but Su Nan definitely can!"
These words were spoken by Li Huimin and Fan Kexin in unison, their tone incredibly firm.
"Gah!"
Huang Yaopeng was instantly choked up, his chest felt even tighter, as if someone had stuffed a wad of cotton into his chest, and his face turned red.
Looking at the undisguised trust in Su Nan in Li Huimin's eyes, he felt a sour feeling in his heart, a mix of sullenness and anger, yet he couldn't utter a single word.
