Imperial Treasure-Chapter 896 - 546: Unexpected Trouble (Returning with He’s Jade +4)
Xiao Xianting and Sui Yi were not innocent intruders barging in, so they quickly made a phone call.
Sui Yi heard a hoarse voice over the phone saying—The Gate is not locked, push it open yourself.
So, she went to push the door.
Creak, the door opened, but the problem was... the door was never locked.
Sui Yi glanced at the door, furrowed her brows slightly, and then looked inside the narrow, dim, low room.
This little room was on the ground floor, the floor above was full of cracks, and even somewhat tilted.
The ground floor... felt like a junkyard.
Sui Yi stuck her hands in her pockets, exchanged a glance with Xiao Xianting, and walked into the inner room.
From the stench of the street to the stench of this house, their sense of smell had long been decayed; humans are indeed instinctively bizarre creatures. 𝐟𝕣𝗲𝕖𝕨𝗲𝐛𝗻𝗼𝐯𝗲𝚕.𝗰𝚘𝐦
The two of them walked towards that door, Xiao Xianting always felt something was wrong, so he walked ahead and pushed the door open proactively.
As soon as it opened, his face changed suddenly, instinctively trying to pull Sui Yi’s arm back.
But couldn’t hold her, turning around, Sui Yi had already appeared inside the room.
Appeared next to the hanged person.
A person hanged on the beam, tongue extended, skin turning bluish-white, eyes rolled back.
This was the most direct appearance.
The weather had been somewhat humid in recent days; due to the rain, water dripped from the ceiling cracks onto the rope holding the body, causing the corpse to swell, the entire body was bloated.
Vaguely showing a "Giant’s View" corpse phenomenon.
Otherwise, there was not much difference.
But Sui Yi and Xiao Xianting took a few more looks, suddenly making eye contact.
Very eerie indeed.
After a while, the police arrived.
Seeing the two who reported, they couldn’t help but be collectively surprised.
They really didn’t expect the ones reporting would be such big figures.
Sui Yi and Xiao Xianting stood aside taking notes, answering the police’s questions one by one.
A large crowd had gathered outside the house, many residents were brought in for questioning...
In the yard, a policewoman asked Xiao Xianting: "Why did you two come here?"
When asking, she subconsciously glanced at Sui Yi.
Somewhat significant.
So unexpected these two...
Xiao Xianting frowned, repeating what he said earlier, "I invited Miss Sui here because this deceased had contacted me four months ago to appreciate a unique stone, but my ability wasn’t enough, so I invited Miss Sui to help, only she hadn’t had the time before, and it was agreed to meet here this time."
His words were very serious and solemn, taking all responsibility upon himself, leaving Sui Yi out of it.
The policewoman dared not misunderstand, thinking to herself that these two should not be peculiar enough to choose this place for a meeting.
Even the road outside would stop ordinary couples, let alone these two wealthy and remarkable individuals.
"Then, does your phone have records?"
"Yes, but I’m not sure if the person speaking is actually him."
He said, looking towards the room where the hanged person was.
It was truly eerie; just minutes ago, the person speaking to them on the phone now turned into a moderately decayed corpse.
Xiao Xianting’s chilling comment made the policewoman shudder, she pursed her lips, looked at Sui Yi, and asked her several questions.
Sui Yi spoke when she could, but mostly it was just the same talk.
The police gained no substantial information from her.
Moreover, they were mindful of the social influence of the two, thus were courteous, finishing the questions, and letting them leave...
But neither Xiao Xianting nor Sui Yi expected a bizarre trouble to follow them after they left.
When Xiao Xianting read the latest headline three hours later, not only was it the top story in the social section but also in the economic and entertainment sections.
The first thing he saw was the bold headline—The president of Xiao’s Enterprise meets the carefree financial beauty at Leak Alley, encountering a bizarre death case.
Along with some seemingly unfounded accounts from nearby residents.
"Those two definitely have a fling, I saw them walking in front of us, hugging and kissing, even went into the alley to do that... "
"Yes, yes, police, you have to arrest them, definitely arrest them, I saw them jump in quickly and entered that house.. stayed over half a day inside! Who knows what they were doing inside."
Woah!
Thrills, ambiguity, entertainment, finance all in one!
Instantly trending, the speed caught both Xiao’s Enterprise and Sui Tang Square off guard.
However, Xiao Xianting acted quickly and opened a decently sized press conference with over a hundred media present, wearing a neatly tailored suit, with a cold expression, he didn’t sit down but took a microphone, looking at those reporters below who had eyes burning with gossip flames.
