Chapter 434: 434: What is called a loyal dog, look at Jiang Jinmao (second update

Zhou Xufang was brutally honest, “That sounds terrible.”

Indeed, it was terrible, and Jiang Zhi himself agreed, “Yeah.” In his lifetime, he had only cried for Zhou Xufang and sung for Zhou Xufang, “Do you feel a bit better now?”

Zhou Xufang nodded slightly, “It sounds so awful, I forgot about the pain.”

Of course, she hadn’t forgotten the pain; she was lying to Jiang Zhi.

“Then I’ll sing it again for you.”

“Okay.”

It was still the same song, the few that Jiang Zhi knew by heart, “Twinkle, twinkle, little star, How I wonder what you are…”

He sang “Little Star” all night long. There weren’t any stars outside, but Zhou Xufang had one, a very beautiful one.

After one night, Zhou Xufang felt much better, even though her Prothrombin Time had changed due to pregnancy. Her recovery and self-healing abilites were incomparable to ordinary people; her surgical cuts and wounds had all scabbed over by morning.

Captain Cheng from the Criminal Investigation Team had already inquired about Zhou Xufang’s condition at Qiao Nanchu’s early in the morning and knew she was alright, so he came to the hospital first thing.

Of course, Jiang Zhi didn’t let him into the ward. There were a dozen bodyguards outside the room, each one big and tall. The situation made Captain Cheng’s scalp tingle, “Tsk tsk, typical capitalists.”

Captain Cheng politely asked, “Is Zhou Xufang awake?”

Jiang Zhi, dressed in a patient’s attire and looking pale as if he were ill, but his gaze was too commanding.

He said expressionlessly, “She’s awake.”

His face looked as though everyone owed him a fortune.

Captain Cheng, accustomed to tough situations, felt strangely intimidated by Jiang Zhi; at times, Jiang Zhi gave him the impression of a high-IQ criminal.

“Can we take her statement now?”

Jiang Zhi refused, “Not for now.”

Heh, so much for his authority as a criminal police officer, “Then when can we?”

Jiang Zhi’s expression was slightly impatient, “We’ll talk when her injuries have healed.”

Captain Cheng wanted to ask when she would recover but held back, mainly because of Jiang Zhi’s attitude, which seemed not too friendly.

Before entering the ward, Jiang Zhi said something long in a deliberately lowered voice, yet his aura was fully unleashed, “The person who saved her is my girlfriend, the injured one is also my girlfriend, and now solving the case also depends on my girlfriend. I pay so much tax, it might as well be spent on my girlfriend.”

What he implied was: What use are you guys!

“…”

Damn, why don’t you say it’s because you’ve offended a bunch of people, that your enemies are the ones coming after you! If you have the guts, lash out at Zhou Xufang, why swagger at me! Believe it or not, I’ll arrest you!

Captain Cheng gritted his teeth and managed to resist smashing the handcuffs into Jiang Zhi’s face.

Jiang Zhi, this person, fortunately, he had met a girlfriend like Zhou Xufang, who had all the good moral values; otherwise, he’d be a high-risk individual, a potential danger to society!

Not willing to let it go, Captain Cheng pressed his ear against the door.

Once Jiang Zhi entered, his tone changed completely, sweet and submissive, from a Tibetan Mastiff to a Golden Retriever, “Why didn’t you sleep a bit longer.”

“I heard you talking.”

“Don’t worry about it, go back to sleep.”

“I can’t sleep anymore…”

What they said afterwards was unclear, but after a while, Captain Cheng heard Jiang Zhi say, “My girlfriend said you can come in.”

My girlfriend said…

Heh, quite obedient, Jiang Jinmao.

Captain Cheng and his deputy both entered, carrying a basket of fruit with them, “Miss Zhou, are you feeling better?”

“Yeah.” Zhou Xufang was a polite girl, sitting upright, “Thank you very much for your concern.”

Thank you very much for your…

Captain Cheng subconsciously glanced at Jiang Zhi, who thankfully was sitting obediently next to his girlfriend.

Captain Cheng got to business, “May I ask you a few questions?” He glanced at Jiang Zhi again, “Just five minutes.”

Zhou Xufang cooperated, “Please go ahead.”

Considering Zhou Xufang was still a patient, Captain Cheng was very understanding, “If you feel uncomfortable at any point, we can stop.” Although Jiang Zhi was prickly, Zhou Xufang was beyond reproach.

“Okay.”

Captain Cheng took out pen and paper, getting to the point, “Did you see the face of the assailant?”

“No, I was distracted by someone.”

The “heart attack” old lady must have been a decoy.

“So, the assailant placed the bomb on your car while you were distracted?”

Zhou Xufang nodded.

Captain Cheng asked again, “Who distracted you?”

“An old lady who pretended to have a heart attack,” Zhou Xufang added, “but there’s no evidence, the car was burned, and the dashcam was destroyed.”

“Do you remember her dress and appearance?”

“I do.” Her memory was always remarkable, “If the lobby’s surveillance isn’t damaged, I can identify her.”

Captain Cheng noted down the clue.

Another point, Zhou Xufang said, “The assailant was a male, elderly.”

Captain Cheng immediately asked, “I thought you didn’t see the assailant. How do you know?”

“There was a child present at the time who saw a grandfather behind my car.”

Just as Zhou Xufang finished speaking, the door to the room was pushed open, and a tiny pale hand reached in: “Auntie~”

The eyewitness had arrived.

The eyewitness, three or four years old, spoke in a babyish tone: “Auntie~”

Captain Cheng turned around to see a mother and son, along with Qiao Nanchu; he teased Qiao Nanchu with a wink, “Captain Qiao, quick on the draw, aren’t you?”

Today being Monday, Qiao Nanchu was dressed in his police uniform: “In intelligence, speed is better than the cold north wind.”
