The Chosen System: Counterattack with Husband

Chapter 299 A guilty conscience

A few minutes after Xu Yiyu walked out of the makeshift interrogation room, he finally dared to sigh without any worries.

In the past ten minutes, the big man in white and the other two younger police officers did not put any pressure on her in any form. Officer Zheng even smiled and comforted her and told her not to be nervous. He did not ask her any malicious questions during the whole process...

But even so, the fact that the three police officers were staring at her while she answered questions still made her feel a little oppressed.

The white shirt is indeed worthy of being called a white shirt. Even if he shows goodwill to the person in front of him, his rich experience and experience will unconsciously make the person being questioned feel a little pressured.

It was not known whether the four family heads had made suggestions to Officer Zheng, so Xu Yiyu's questioning was carried out by a police officer of such a high rank. However, Xu Yiyu still explained some of his own speculations appropriately in the process of answering the questions in line with Officer Zheng's questions, and did not completely suppress his own thoughts.

After leaving the temporary inquiry room, Xu Yiyu immediately saw Lu Sanshi standing at the end of the road quietly waiting for him.

She lifted up her red evening gown that was almost floor-length and quickened her pace towards him. Lu Sanshi noticed his fiancée the next second and almost trotted towards her.

"Leave it to professionals. The boss just said that we can both go back now. He will contact us if he has any other questions."

The two people, who had already provided their identity information and contact information to the police, did not stay here for long. Instead, they turned around and returned to the meeting place on the first floor where the number of people had obviously decreased.

There were only a few dozen people sitting scattered around, each person was far away from each other, as if they were trying their best to avoid having any relationship with each other. Everyone was concentrating on dealing with their own matters at hand, and no one looked up to make any eye contact with others.

What surprised Xu Yiyu was that Tian Xu was still sitting in the same position as before. There was neither person sent by the company to pick him up nor an agent accompanying him. There was only a male assistant who was sitting a little awkwardly. The two of them did not talk to each other at this time.

If Xu Yiyu remembered correctly, Tian Xu has been very popular recently because he has two dramas airing this year. Generally speaking, artists in this situation will have their schedules arranged very full by the company, but his current leisurely look and attitude do not seem to be fake, which is a bit puzzling.

In order to be polite, Xu Yiyu took Lu Sanshi to the private rooms on the second floor to look for the four family heads. Xu Yiyu, who had no hope of finding anyone, unexpectedly discovered that the four family heads were all in the private rooms. On the contrary, the doors of rooms 7 and 8 had been opened, and there was no one inside.

After Xu Yiyu greeted the heads of the Ye, Wu, and Gu families one by one, he finally visited Zhou Fu, the head of the Zhou family.

After knocking on the door and entering the room, Xu Yiyu immediately noticed Zhou Zhiyu, who had a relatively calm expression, and Zhou Fu, who was sitting in the main seat and resting.

Zhou Fu's second daughter Zhou Zhishan was not in the box, and it was unclear whether she was still downstairs assisting the police.

"Xu Xiaoyou, are you going to leave the venue?"

Before Xu Yiyu opened her mouth, Zhou Fu had already made clear her purpose.

"Yes, Master Zhou. This happened so suddenly today. I think you must have been very busy. I will still stay in the imperial capital for a few days. If you need my help, you can contact me at any time."

No one had expected such a turn of events at the auction. Even the four family heads could not predict when the auction of the last few items would be held, so Xu Yiyu did not ask about this matter tactlessly.

If there is anyone who did not expect that the auction would be postponed, it should be the Chosen System who is now looking worried in Xu Yiyu's consciousness world.

It had originally prepared all the mission rewards for the host, and was only waiting to give the host an upgrade after the auction ended today, but it did not expect that the mission deadline for this limited-time challenge would be forced to be extended again!

What's even worse is that even a high-tech product like the Chosen System, which is omnipotent, cannot help Xu Yiyu speed up the process of finding the real murderer without any technological support. This makes the Chosen System, which has never experienced failure since coming to Blue Star, feel frustrated.

When Xu Yiyu said goodbye to Zhou Fu and left, her eyes intentionally or unintentionally passed across Zhou Zhiyu's face for a very short moment, and even Zhou Zhiyu thought she was overthinking or seeing things.

But in that glance that seemed like an illusion, Zhou Zhiyu sensed some subtle meaning in Xu Yiyu's eyes.

She was already feeling guilty, and when Xu Yiyu looked at her with such an ambiguous gaze, she couldn't help but feel a little flustered, but she still forced herself to remain calm and smiled as she sent the two of them out the door.

Zhou Fu, who was caught off guard by this sudden incident, did not pay attention to the condition of his third daughter at this time. Instead, he sat back in the main seat, closed his eyes tiredly and rested, as if he had aged many years in an instant.

The news that should have been successfully "auctioned" to Xu Yiyu today, because of the recent incident, it is unknown how long it will take for Hua Xia to get it legitimately. Although Li Rong, the senior leader, has no intention of holding Zhou Fu accountable, the case happened in his family's Longteng Residence. As the head of the Zhou family, he is definitely to blame no matter what.

It's not that Zhou Fu hasn't seen even stranger cases, and he had cooperated with the police in several investigations before. However, none of the cases happened in the Zhou family's Longteng Residence, and none of the cases happened during an auction, which already had a complex flow of people.

"Zhi Yu, you should stay at home for the next few days and try not to go out."

Considering that his third daughter had been relatively obedient in the past few days, Zhou Fu made this request to her out of consideration for her safety. When he spoke, even outsiders could clearly sense his fatigue at the moment.

"Okay dad, I won't go out for the next few days."

Although Zhou Zhiyu answered obediently, her heart was beating very fast. She even had the illusion that if she said a few more words, her heart would jump out of her chest.

Of course she knew her father's concerns, but she still couldn't help but feel nervous. However, there was nothing wrong with agreeing to her father's words. She could also use this time to reduce her presence.

She was confident that she had not revealed any clues during the questioning session, but just in case, she did not want to commit suicide at this critical juncture.

"We have invited such high-ranking guests to attend this auction. Once this incident happens, we don't know to what extent it will affect the reputation of the four major families. After all, Longtengju belongs to our Zhou family. The first people to be affected are 90% likely to be our Zhou family..."

Zhou Fu was speaking with his eyes closed at the main seat. Zhou Zhiyu only dared to respond to her father briefly because she knew that her father did not need any of her opinions and was just simply speaking.

"I'm going to go meet with those old guys. Once we've dealt with the things downstairs, we should go back to our family home."

Seeing Zhou Fu walk out of Box No. 2, Zhou Zhiyu breathed a sigh of relief, and his expression gradually became truly relaxed.

This time, it seems she has to be a turtle.
