“When will you return with the children?” The voice on the other phone asked casually.
“Senior, I’m married.” Chu Wuyou pursed her lips and contemplated for a brief moment before confessing eventually. After all, she might not be able to return to Country M in the near future now that she was married to Ye Lanchen.
Her senior would learn about this sooner or later. She would rather be the one that told him about it.
“…”
There was a brief silence on the other end of the phone. Several moments later, the same deep voice entered her ears again. “It’s Ye Lanchen.”
His tone was not skeptical but affirmative.
“Yup.” Chu Wuyou did not sound astonished because she was fully aware of her senior’s capability.
“…”
Another pause followed, this time longer than the last. Finally, he broke the quietness with a question. “Why so sudden?”
“It’s a contract marriage with a year’s validity.” Chu Wuyou did not hold back. Even without her saying anything, the man had his ways to learn about it too if he set his mind on it.
Besides, she did not intend to hide the truth from him.
Both of them came to know each other slightly over ten years ago. He was injured whilst in the middle of a hot pursuit. At the critical moment, she led him through the obstacles and escaped from the enemy with her intelligence.
He managed to locate her after that incident and began passing on his knowledge to her. He provided her with wisdom that ordinary people would not even dream of acquiring.
Due to the misfortune that had befallen her mother and all the bullying she suffered during those years of depending upon her mother for survival, Chu Wuyou decided that she had to make herself stronger.
Therefore, the diligent girl welcomed the knowledge and let it flow through her.
Even when the Chu family took her in after her mother’s death, her senior still persisted with education and training. Of course, her senior came and went like the wind and she did not know about her senior’s true identity back then.
Her mother was a fan of psychology herself. In addition to learning bits and pieces from her mother since young, Chu Wuyou’s senior also told her to read up lots of information regarding the same field. Eventually, she pursued further studies in criminal psychology during her time in Country M.
Back to the present, her senior became her superior, but she also regarded him as an elder brother.
“Okay, got it.” The man finally sounded more natural albeit still speaking with a slightly lowered voice.
“Senior, there’s something else I want to talk to you about. It’s about the case in Jin City,” Chu Wuyou added out of the blue as she was reminded about the investigation concerning Mu Shaobai.
Despite the thrilling incident that happened in the police station earlier today, she was a person with great work ethics and she would deliver results once she promised.
“Oh, what about that?” The man spoke in a voice several octaves higher than before. It was obvious that he sounded more relaxed now.
“The successful conjoined twin separation surgery in a hospital located in Country M from forty-two years ago came into mind. Both of the babies survived and that particular surgery received a lot of attention in the medical industry. I want every detail you could get your hands on for this matter.” She had stumbled upon the aforementioned news by chance and later paid more attention to it because both the babies were of Chinese descendent.
The medical technology back then was nothing compared to what they had achieved in this day and age. A success story like that was considered a miracle back in those days thus there must be numerous coverage regarding the surgery.
She pretty much decided that Mu Shaobai was not the murderer after ten minutes of interrogation. This was because Mu Shaobai did not reveal a hint of anxiety or diffidence. He presented himself in a natural calm manner and appeared completely at ease; that was not something that could be faked.
