Love You Till the End-Chapter 963 - 962: Fever
"How’s it going?"
Shi Aoju raised an eyebrow, "Still the same, no clues at all."
Qi Jingren nodded, furrowing his brow in thought, then asked Su Jiuyi, "When did you see Xiao Chen last night?"
Su Jiuyi didn’t yet know that the murderer was Xiao Chen, so she was unsure why Qi Jingren would ask this. She glanced in Shi Aoju’s direction, but quickly avoided his gaze the moment their eyes met.
"Well..." She pretended to look at her toes, "Around eleven o’clock."
Qi Jingren frowned, which meant that Xiao Chen had already calculated Zhao Ren’s appearance time. This allowed him to boldly disguise himself as the homeowner to meet Zhao Ren.
In other words, Xiao Chen knew Zhao Ren’s itinerary, including going to the man in black to buy a gun.
Qi Jingren then briefly explained the tracking situation from last night to Su Jiuyi and Shi Aoju.
"You mean, it’s very likely that Xiao Chen and the man in black had already met at Ciaos, and the man in black disguised himself as an arms dealer to meet Zhao Ren. This was actually to control his timing, giving Xiao Chen the opportunity to disguise himself first in the house." Shi Aoju summarized the situation.
Su Jiuyi was a bit puzzled. Last night, he appeared very relaxed and even said he wanted her to accompany him. Did he not believe she would agree? 𝚏𝕣𝕖𝚎𝚠𝚎𝚋𝚗𝐨𝐯𝕖𝕝.𝕔𝐨𝕞
Or did he already calculate that she would definitely take the chance to escape?
Su Jiuyi felt her head spinning. She felt like her feet were unable to touch the ground as if she couldn’t control her body, and her limbs were completely weak.
"Due to other interests being involved, we should avoid telling the police the truth, especially since we don’t have evidence against Xiao Chen," Shi Aoju said. "If they can find out, that would be for the best."
Su Jiuyi nodded, forcefully resisting the sleepiness in her mind. Shi Aoju’s figure before her eyes blurred into four or five, all frowning at her.
What’s with this guy? Why does he love frowning so much?
Su Jiuyi could no longer hold on; she fell sideways to the ground, just when she thought she was about to intimately meet the earth, a pair of strong arms caught her, followed by a warm embrace.
When she woke up, it was already noon.
The first thing she saw was the white walls. She rubbed her sleepy eyes, recalling her fainting episode.
Now she had no strength at all, her entire body ached as if it had been run over by a car, and her throat was parched and rough.
"Awake?" Shi Aoju was sitting at the nearby dining table, looking at documents. Hearing her movements, he asked.
Su Jiuyi was a bit dazed. She opened her eyes and carefully examined her surroundings, realizing that she was in Shi Aoju’s room.
"Why am I here?" Her voice was so hoarse it startled herself.
"The doctor said you caught a cold and have a high fever," he explained plainly. "You’ve already had an antipyretic injection. The medicine and water are on the table."
It must have been from sleeping by the door last night, catching a cold and causing the high fever.
Su Jiuyi struggled to prop herself up, nodded weakly at Shi Aoju’s words, thinking that since he brought her back and even called a doctor for her, he probably wasn’t mad at her anymore?
This morning, he didn’t even mention taking her to see Qi Jingren in advance, causing her to scream and shout in the car, what a disgrace.
Blushing, she reached out to grab the water glass on the table. When she touched it, she realized the water was still warm, indicating that Shi Aoju had thoughtfully replaced the water for her.
