Chapter 30
Late at night, a figure flashed through the darkness, quickly arriving at the top floor of a residential building.
A gentle breeze blew, causing a strand of hair to dance in the wind. The long sword in her hand gleamed coldly under the moonlight.
Gu Yue!
These past few days, she hadn't given up on assassinating Ye Cangtian, but she had been struggling to find an opportunity! After all, she knew very well that under normal circumstances, she wasn't a match for that guy, so she had been looking for a chance to sneak attack.
However, now, she was out of time!
Tonight would be her only chance! Whether she succeeded or not, she would have to leave China.
A moment later, she reappeared on the balcony of Ye Cangtian's apartment. Through the light inside, she could see that guy taking a shower in the bathroom.
Just like last time!
Gu Yue tightened her grip on the sword hilt. This was an opportunity, but with the experience from last time, she felt hesitant!
After struggling internally for a moment, she finally took a deep breath and stepped into the living room.
This time, she was even more careful, her footsteps making no sound at all. She walked step by step towards the bathroom door.
The bathroom door was ajar, water gushing noisily, and the person inside was humming a tune with gusto.
Through the gap in the door, Gu Yue could see the situation in the bathroom. Although the scene made her blush, she stared intently.
Soon, the shower water obscured Ye Cangtian's eyes. Seeing this, Gu Yue's eyes lit up.
This was a golden opportunity!
She only needed a second. While his eyes were covered and he hadn't reacted, she could deliver a fatal blow!
This time, she wouldn't give him any chance!
Holding her breath, Gu Yue was about to strike!
However, at that very moment!
"Knock, knock, knock..." A knocking sound echoed.
Gu Yue, with no choice, had to abandon this opportunity and leave with gritted teeth.
In the bathroom, Ye Cangtian wiped his face and opened his eyes, a slight smile playing on his lips. He turned off the shower and called out, "Coming, coming, stop knocking!"
Soon, wearing only a bath towel, he came to the living room and opened the door.
Ye Cangtian grinned, "Yo, officer, you really know how to pick your timing. Knocking on my door when I'm showering again. Did you bug my house?"
Xu Weiwei rolled her eyes and snorted through her nose, "Stop being so narcissistic. I just have a few questions for you!"
"No problem, please come in! Who are we to each other? My place is your place, don't be a stranger!"
Ye Cangtian smiled and ushered her in, then plopped onto the sofa, chuckling, "Ask away! I'll tell you everything I know."
Seeing him all wet and wrapped only in a bath towel, Xu Weiwei frowned, "Hurry up and get dressed, and be proper!"
"Got it!" Ye Cangtian shrugged and went back to the bedroom to change.
When he returned to the living room after changing, he saw Xu Weiwei taking out a notebook and pen from her bag, which left him baffled, "What's going on?"
Xu Weiwei raised an eyebrow and sneered, "We're taking a statement. The bank hostage situation yesterday isn't over yet!"
Ye Cangtian said speechlessly, "You came to my house just for this?"
"Why else would I come to your house? Of course, you can also choose to come to the station tomorrow. Given your unusual behavior yesterday, I'll have an interrogation room ready for you." Xu Weiwei said with a smile, emphasizing the words 'unusual behavior'.
"..."
Ye Cangtian gave a wry smile, "Then it's better to take the statement at home! You can start."
Xu Weiwei nodded with satisfaction, then opened her notebook and asked, "So, the first question, are you and Tang Xinwan really husband and wife?"
"Of course, it's true. So, officer, you have no chance! Well, not openly, but we could have an under-the-table relationship!" Ye Cangtian smiled brightly, revealing a row of pearly white teeth.
Xu Weiwei slammed her hand on the coffee table and said sternly, "Behave yourself! Stop grinning! Second question."
"When you were in the bank building, your marksmanship was excellent. Did you receive professional training abroad before? What was your identity abroad?"
Ye Cangtian raised an eyebrow and then smiled, "Officer Xu, you're not taking a statement, you're interrogating me, aren't you?"
"You can think of it that way, because your actions have made me suspicious, and I have to be responsible for the safety of ordinary citizens!" Xu Weiwei said smugly.
"Alright, my marksmanship is good because I like to shoot one shot every day. I've been doing it for over twenty years, so it's naturally developed." Ye Cangtian winked meaningfully.
What was this about shooting one shot every day for over twenty years?
Xu Weiwei was a little confused, but she finally understood why this guy's marksmanship was so good. She then coldly sneered, "Then what's your identity? I saw you kill without batting an eye. You must have killed many people before, right?"
"Officer Xu, you can't just say things. Whether I'm in China or abroad, I'm a law-abiding citizen! Yesterday, I was just anxious to save my wife. In fact, I was so scared afterwards that I couldn't sleep all night."
"It's still terrifying to think about it. I need to smoke a cigarette to calm my nerves!" Ye Cangtian quickly lit a cigarette.
Xu Weiwei's face darkened. A law-abiding citizen? How much trouble had this guy caused in just a few days?
Moreover, this fellow wasn't telling a single word of truth. The robbers he shot dead yesterday were all headshots!
He also fired six shots in one second, an astonishing speed. Even a professional sharpshooter might not be able to achieve such a level.
She took a deep breath and said coldly, "Ye Cangtian, are you really not going to tell the truth?"
Ye Cangtian exhaled a smoke ring and smiled, "Officer Xu, this is the truth! And I feel like you're targeting me, like you're deliberately picking a fight, it feels like..."
"Feels like what?" Xu Weiwei frowned.
"It feels like you have a crush on me, so you keep bothering me to get my attention."
Xu Weiwei slammed the table again and even pulled out a dark object from her pocket, slapping it onto the coffee table angrily, "Try saying anything more nonsense, and I'll shoot you!"
Ye Cangtian wasn't intimidated at all and clicked his tongue, "Officer Xu, this is my home. I haven't broken any laws, nor have I violated any regulations. I'm cooperating with you in taking a statement, and I even helped the police a lot with the bank hostage case. Yet, you want to shoot me!"
Xu Weiwei gritted her teeth. Although she was very unhappy, she had to admit that Ye Cangtian was telling the truth!
Although she suspected he wasn't a good person, she had absolutely no evidence! In the bank hostage case, he had indeed helped the police a lot.
"Ye Cangtian, don't get cocky. I told you, I will catch you red-handed one day. I hope you won't cry then!" Xu Weiwei stood up and snorted coldly.
She didn't believe that someone with issues would never reveal any flaws.
"Officer Xu is leaving already? Not staying for a while?" Ye Cangtian watched the angry woman leave with a chuckle.
