Police station, Xi Siwei was brought into the interrogation room.

The setup inside the interrogation room was very basic: a table, three chairs, a desk lamp, a monitor, and nothing else could be found.

"Xi Siwei, we now suspect you of harboring a fugitive, please cooperate with our work." said the frequently expressionless face, then took out a photo and placed it under the lamp, "Do you know this person?"

Xi Siwei felt inexplicably perplexed from the moment he left the villa to sitting here being interrogated; when did he become an accomplice to a fugitive?

It’s just utterly baffling.

"I don’t know this person, nor have I harbored any fugitives. I had no idea anyone else was in the house. You need to be responsible for the accusations you make, or I’ll sue you for defamation." Xi Siwei reached out, wanting to undo his tie.

He had already placed his hand on the collar when he realized he was wearing pajamas when he was brought to the police station.

"We hope you’ll cooperate with our work. Confess for leniency; resist and it will be harsh!" The policeman remained expressionless, "I’ll ask you again, do you recognize the person in the photo?"

Originally, Xi Siwei had said he would have a lawyer come over, but it took three hours from the call until the lawyer appeared.

He was eventually granted bail, with the police stating that if there were any developments, he would be asked to assist in the investigation again, and for now, he couldn’t leave the Capital in case he colludes with the fugitive again.

His freedom was restricted; did someone report him as involved in the serious injury case against Qin Mubai?

Upon leaving the police station, Xi Siwei pointed at the lawyer following him angrily, "Why are you only coming now? Do you not understand human speech?"

The lawyer timidly explained, having been delayed for two or three hours due to getting caught up in an accident on the road.

Xi Siwei shot the lawyer a glare, turned around, and prepared to leave.

Just as he left the police station entrance, a car sped by, splashing accumulated water onto him instantly!

Ah, the Capital at dawn is very cold, and the filthy water splashing onto Xi Siwei made him entirely furious!

...

Hospital, ward; although Qin Mobai was fatigued, he was determined to make Lou Xi realize her mistake.

"It’s very late. Why don’t you go to sleep first? You’re not fully recovered yet!" Lou Xi pleaded.

"Neither of us will sleep until you acknowledge your mistake."

Alright then, since Qin Mobai insisted on discussing this issue now, Lou Xi began to take it seriously.

She sat by Qin Mobai’s bedside, her smile subdued.

"Mo Bai, I know you’re worried about me, but you should know, I’m equally worried about you." Lou Xi’s voice was gentle, exceptionally pleasant, "You know how anxious I was when you were shot last time and almost couldn’t be saved. I even thought about dying with you if you didn’t make it."

Hearing Lou Xi’s words, Qin Mobai’s heart suddenly ached.

She actually had such thoughts, he always felt that in this relationship, he was the one who loved deeper.

But Lou Xi’s feelings for him were not trivial either.

"You’re slowly recovering, but the attacker hasn’t been found, nor has the mastermind. It’s all like a ticking time bomb, constantly threatening your life. If I could find any clues from Xi Siwei’s side, getting hurt a bit wouldn’t matter. Mo Bai, it’s not only you who can protect me; I can actually protect you too."

Lou Xi’s words engraved themselves deeply on Qin Mobai’s heart.

He took a deep breath and pulled Lou Xi into his arms.
