Ruling the Historical Romance Novel as the Female Supporting Character-Chapter 310: Have They Become Suspects?!

u Yijia had almost forgotten about these two troublemakers, but now that they reappeared on her radar, she felt she couldn’t tolerate them any longer. The sooner she dealt with them, the sooner she could feel at ease.

"666, can I make a trip back to Hu City?" Su Yijia asked in her mind.

[Yes, as long as the host returns to the island within seven days, otherwise the mission will be considered a failure.]666 replied obediently.

They were relatively close to Hu City; it took twelve hours by train. A round trip would only take a day, leaving six days to deal with the troublemakers.

"Sure, but we should wait until they’ve investigated that man thoroughly before we go back," Qin Kaize agreed. He also felt it was necessary to resolve the issue with these two.

"We need them to investigate thoroughly. I suspect that a man who makes such a big mistake is likely to have committed other offenses," Su Yijia said with a serious expression.

She couldn’t tell Qin Kaize, but Su Yijia knew that this man Su Xinyue was involved with was actually a deeply hidden enemy. But Qin Kaize was so sharp, and she’d already given him such a clear hint--surely he wouldn’t just let his people do a simple check, right?

She remembered that man had done a lot of harm, and in the end, he’d given all his hidden treasures to Su Xinyue. Since they were acting over a year ahead of schedule, he surely hadn’t had time to complete many of his schemes yet. It would be best to use this opportunity to capture all his hidden operatives in one fell swoop.

"Don’t worry, I’ll remind them--no one involved will get away, and the outcome will be exactly what you want." Qin Kaize kissed his little wife’s smooth forehead, gently coaxing her, "Let’s get some sleep."

Su Yijia jumped, her beautiful almond eyes going wide. Did he really know what outcome she wanted? Impossible! Could her intentions be that obvious?

Qin Kaize smiled indulgently and gave her a kiss on the eyelids. Then he fetched water, carefully washing Su Yijia’s feet before rinsing his own in the same basin, and carried her back to lie down together on the blanket.

Even though Su Yijia didn’t say anything, her mind was restless, replaying his words over and over. It took a good ten minutes before she finally drifted off, which was rare for her since she usually fell asleep right away.

Listening to the even breathing of the little one in his arms, Qin Kaize slowly opened his eyes and held her a bit closer.

How could he not know what kind of result Jiajia wanted? Just look at the Su couple, or Qin Yaozong and Wei Shufen--they were all getting what they deserved. The house Qin Mingchen was living in was originally the Xia family’s ancestral property; it should’ve been reclaimed long ago. Giving him the photos would be a favor, alerting him to how shamelessly his wife was betraying him, so he wouldn’t stay blissfully unaware. However they chose to fight each other afterward was up to them; it had nothing to do with him and Jiajia.

Even immortals can’t save those destined to perish, let alone when those people were their enemies. Qin Kaize pulled the blanket, which Su Yijia had kicked off, back over her stomach to keep her warm against the fan. Only then, holding his wife contentedly, did he fall into a deep sleep.

Early the next morning, just as dawn broke, they were jolted awake by urgent knocking at the door. Su Yijia startled, her body tensing, and Qin Kaize immediately covered her ears.

"I’ll check it out," he said gently.

The persistent and harsh knocking suggested something serious had happened. Su Yijia, unable to sleep any longer, opened her eyes, taking a few seconds to fully wake up.

"Go ahead and open the door. I’ll change my clothes," she said.

"Alright, take your time," Qin Kaize replied, helping her gather her clothes before putting on a shirt and heading to the door.

Upon opening it, he found team members accompanied by two police officers standing outside. Qin Kaize was slightly surprised.

"What’s going on?"

"Comrade Qin, hello. We’re from the city police station. We need to ask where you and your wife were at around 5:30 p.m. yesterday?" the police officer asked with a stern expression.

"We were on the way back to the dock," Qin Kaize replied, maintaining a calm demeanor despite his inner confusion.

"Do you have anyone to vouch for you?" the officer pressed further.

"We walked back. There were many people heading home after work, but none of them were familiar," Qin Kaize shook his head.

"So, why did you leave the island yesterday?"

"We stayed on the island with nothing to do and decided to go sightseeing on the mainland," Qin Kaize answered calmly, showing no signs of trouble.

"What exactly happened?" Su Yijia, now dressed, asked in confusion as she emerged.

The police officers repeated their questions to her, receiving the same answers. They exchanged glances and deliberated before saying, "Something happened, and we need you to come with us."

"We’ll go with you, but you must clarify why you suspect us. My husband needs to return to his team after recovering, and any negative impact on his reputation could affect him for life," Su Yijia’s tone grew firm.

Although it was still before six, the commotion had attracted the attention of neighbors who were now eavesdropping.

The police officers realized they could no longer withhold information. If the couple were innocent and suffered any harm to their reputation, it would be unforgivable.

"Last night at around 5:30 p.m., Comrade Wang Futong was ambushed, beaten, and put in the hospital with a broken hand. She has provided a lead stating that she had a conflict with you and your husband, and you were also in the city that day," the officer explained quickly.

So Wang Futong had antagonized someone to the point of being attacked? Did Qin Kaize’s friends happen to encounter her and deal with her?

Su Yijia’s brows furrowed in shock. "Is she sure it was 5:30?"

"She’s not certain but estimates it was around 5:30, so we need to clarify with you," the officer responded.

"Besides our conflict with her, do you have any substantial evidence linking us to the assault?" Su Yijia asked coldly.

"None, which is why we hope you’ll cooperate with the investigation," the officer said.

"I believe she should first prove that she was attacked at 5:30 before confirming our involvement. After all, she has a grudge against us and might be falsely accusing us to cover up for her attackers," Su Yijia’s expression hardened, showing her unwillingness to cooperate.
