He completely trusted him. This gesture was asking if Luo Yingbai had any additional comments.
Seeing Luo Yingbai shake his head, Xia Xianning said, “Alright, everyone come with me to make a statement. Song Ze, notify Yang Zheng to bring some people to search here again. You and Xiao Yue stay and guard. Oh, remember to have them sign a confidentiality agreement.”
Only after he finished speaking did Ou Ziheng gradually come to his senses.
Luo Yingbai continued, “I’m here to help you. Just follow my lead.”
Ou Ziheng nodded eagerly, still clinging to the optimism that everything would work out fine.
The room filled with an unexpected tension as Xia Xianning observed the interaction between the two. There was a sense of urgency that had not been acknowledged until now, and it pressed on them like a physical weight.
“Let’s move on,” Xia Xianning said decisively.
As they plotted their next steps, it became clear that no matter how dire the situation felt, they would face it together, united by a new understanding.
This calamity has passed, and you won’t have any problems for now. Captain Xia will definitely investigate this case thoroughly.”
Xia Xianning looked at him with a half-smile, not refuting: “Let’s go.”
The two walked out, and Ou Ziheng didn’t dare to stop them. Fortunately, Gou Songze, wearing a police uniform, was still there, giving him some comfort.
After thoroughly searching the area near Ou Ziheng’s house and completing statements with several celebrities, Gou Songze finally found time to grab Luo Yingbai: “Seriously, how did you know Ou Ziheng was in danger?”
“Information age, high-tech methods,” Luo Yingbai said. “What if I say it was from Weibo?”
Gou Songze said, “What do you think?”
Luo Yingbai laughed: “Since you don’t believe me, never mind.”
Gou Songze scoffed: “Fine, just be careful not to get killed.”
Luo Yingbai knew he was genuinely concerned, smiled slightly and nodded. Suddenly remembering something: “By the way, I haven’t asked – what have you and Xianning been up to? Why do you both look so bad?”
“Nonsense, you’re the one over-indulging!”
Gou Songze rolled his eyes, then added: “I don’t know what’s wrong with Brother Xianning lately. He’s either not sleeping or having nightmares.”
