  Hearing his wife’s words, Han An frowned, because his wife’s words seemed too reasonable.

   Perhaps his wife just wanted to meet Xu Yina and test the waters of their relationship?

   However, if he really wanted to test her, his wife could have gone directly to the store; there was no need to test Xu Yina at her most vulnerable moment.

   Thinking of this, Han An said, “Let’s see later. I’ll go to the police station with her first.”

   “Then I’ll wait for you to come back.”

   “If you can’t wait, go to sleep first.”

   “Um.”

   At this point, Han An hung up.

   Afterwards, Han An, Xu Yina, and the police officer went to the Public Security Bureau together.

   It wasn’t until 11 o’clock that Han An and Xu Yina walked out of the police station together.

   Han An drove his own car, so he naturally let Xu Yina get in his car.

   After glancing at Xu Yina, who was still shaken, Han An asked, “To my house?”

   “Wh…what?!”

   “My son is staying with his grandmother, so his room is empty.”

   “No, thank you,” Xu Yina said. “Because of what happened before, I’d feel really strange if I went to your house, boss. Let’s do what we used to do, and you come with me to get a room. Once we’ve got the room, you can go back and keep your wife company.”

   “We can’t leave someone alone.”

   “Boss, could you call Xiaoqin? I want to know where she is right now.”

   “Um.”

   As he spoke, Han An called Bai Qin.

   Bai Qin lives across from Xu Yina. Tonight, a murder occurred in the rented apartment where Xu Yina lives, so it’s unlikely that Bai Qin is still living there, right?

   After the call connected, Han An asked, “Where are you?”

   “I’m at your house. Are you and Sister Yina getting ready to come back?”

   “I just left the police station and am now heading back.”

   “Then come back quickly, I’ll sleep with Sister Yina tonight.”

   “Okay, let’s talk when we meet.”

   “Mmm!”

   After hanging up, Han An said, “Xiao Qin is at my house. You can sleep with her tonight.”

   “Oh well.”

   After driving for a while, Han An asked, “Have you told the police what Qiao Liang did?”

   “I said so.”

   “I did call Qiao Liang before, but his phone was switched off,” Han An said, his brow furrowed. “It seems he switched off his phone immediately after that old man was killed by Sun Minghao. Based on my deduction, even ignoring Sun Minghao’s actions, what Qiao Liang did was illegal. Given that you’ve already told the police, Qiao Liang will definitely be sentenced. He knows this, so he just disappeared.”

   “I never imagined he would be this kind of person,” Xu Yina said, her voice trembling. “Boss, I really think I should become a nun in a nunnery because I’ve encountered two absolutely awful men. What’s worse, both of them are going to betray me. Sometimes I really don’t understand what I did wrong that God is punishing me like this. After being with Qiao Liang, I thought I had found the man I would spend my life with, but it turns out I found a big wolf in sheep’s clothing…”

   At this point, Xu Yina, who was covering her face, started crying again.

   Seeing this, Han An quickly comforted her, “Yina, you should think positively. For example, even though you’ve been with two scumbags, you haven’t gotten into any real trouble. Isn’t that what the ancients meant by ‘good people are always blessed’?”

   Xu Yina listened attentively, but because she couldn’t control her emotions, she was still crying.

   “Ina, you will meet a good man, believe me!”

   Hearing this, Xu Yina wiped away her tears.

   After raising her eyes, which were blurred with tears, Xu Yina said, “Why don’t you help me find one, boss?”

   “You’re still young, there’s no need to rush.”

   “I know, so I was just saying it casually.”

   Han An took out two tissues and handed them to Xu Yina.

   After wiping away her tears, Xu Yina put the tissues into her bag.

   A few minutes later, Han An said, “I’ll give you a few days off. You can go back to work after you’ve adjusted.”

   “No need, you’ll be fine after a good night’s sleep.”

   Your hands are still shaking.

   “I’m fine, really.”

   Despite what Xu Yina said, Han An was still very worried.

   “By the way, boss, Qiao Liang mentioned something about Shengtian.”

   “Shengtian?” Han An frowned and asked, “What is Shengtian?”

   “I suspect it’s an entertainment venue,” Xu Yina said. “When Qiao Liang was with me, someone called him, and his contact name was Shengtian Entertainment Xiao Xu. When I saw that this person called him, I asked who it was, and he said it was a friend who wanted to go out for a late-night snack. But I don’t think they were friends, but colleagues. Qiao Liang is probably not a real estate agent, but an employee of Shengtian Entertainment. That old man named Xu Shiren is probably a member of Shengtian Entertainment, and Qiao Liang probably sold me out for money or something.”

   “Did you tell the police about this?”

   “I didn’t mention that, because the police mainly asked about things related to Sun Minghao.”

   “I feel like I’ve heard of Shengtian Entertainment somewhere before,” Han An said. “Try searching it on Baidu on your phone and see if you can find any related information.”

   Because of Han An’s words, Xu Yina took out her phone from her bag.

   Xu Yina opened the built-in browser and typed in the four characters “Shengtian Entertainment”.

   After reviewing information from several websites, Xu Yina said, “Shengtian Entertainment is a music venue located in Bao’an District. Otherwise, there doesn’t seem to be anything special about it.”

   “Then let’s leave that for now.”

   “Um.”

   “Take a nap first, I’ll call you when it’s time to get off the bus.”

   Xu Yina closed her eyes because she was indeed quite tired.

   A few minutes later, Xu Yina fell asleep.

   Xu Yina was terrified when she dreamt of being raped by a bloodied and mangled Xu Shiren.

   Despite Han An’s attempts to comfort her, she remained uneasy.

   Upon arriving at the underground parking lot of Lijing Garden, the two of them took the elevator upstairs together.

   When Han An arrived at his door, he knocked.

   A moment later, his wife opened the door.

   Upon seeing Xu Yina, Bai Jing quickly asked, “Are you alright?”

   “I’m fine,” Xu Yina said. “I’ve recovered.”

   Just as the two finished talking, Bai Qin suddenly rushed over and hugged Xu Yina tightly.

   Bai Qin’s actions were so sudden that Xu Yina was startled.

   Bai Qin patted Xu Yina on the back and said, “It’s alright, it’s alright, it’s alright.”

   Hearing Bai Qin’s words, Xu Yina asked with a smile, “Do you think I’m a three-year-old?”

   “No,” Bai Qin said. “I just heard that patting someone on the back can make them feel safe.”

   Hearing this, Han An said, “Xiao Qin, take Yina to her room. She’s very tired.”

   After saying that, Han An, who had changed into sandals, went to the bathroom.

   “Yina, do you have any pajamas?” Bai Jing asked. “If not, I’ll get you a set.”

   “Actually, I was just wearing pajamas.”

   “You should change into something else,” Bai Jing said. “Look at you, your pajamas are stained with blood.”

   Bai Qin quickly lowered her head upon hearing Bai Jing’s words.

   Upon seeing the blood, Bai Qin said, “Sister Yina, I only found out about what happened to you after I got home from get off work. I did call you, but you didn’t answer. Then I thought it was impossible for me to live across from a house where someone died, so I came to my sister’s place immediately. Let me tell you, rooms where people die tragically are usually haunted, so we’ll call the landlord tomorrow and cancel the lease!
