Xiao Lengyue also realized.
She hadn't grasped the main point, had she!
She was a police officer, so she should be asking about the cannibal king's situation, but instead, she was inquiring about someone's personal life?
Xiao Lengyue chuckled awkwardly and asked casually, "Didn't that man-eating monster enter your ward? Where is it now?"
Chu Lingtian said with a smile, "You must have made a mistake. I haven't seen any man-eating monster!"
"Impossible!"
Xiao Lengyue said firmly, "We checked the surveillance. That man-eating monster entered your ward and hasn't come out since?"
Suddenly, Xiao Lengyue's expression became serious, and she stared at Chu Lingtian.
"You're not in cahoots with him, are you?"
*Thump!*
Chu Lingtian tapped her head and laughed, "Is your head filled with water? How could I possibly be in cahoots with a man-eating monster?"
Xiao Lengyue touched her head and said coldly, "Don't you dare hit my head, and certainly not in front of so many people!"
She glared fiercely at Chu Lingtian, pretending to be angry.
"I wasn't hitting your head, I was checking how much water is in it."
"You... Chu Lingtian, you've gone too far!"
Xiao Lengyue, who never backed down from anyone, was always suppressed by Chu Lingtian and was furious.
"Alright! Hurry up and take your teammates away!"
Chu Lingtian was afraid Liu Bingxue would wake up and not find him, so he stopped joking with Xiao Lengyue.
"If you're looking for the man-eating monster, I can give you a hint. Go downstairs and take a look, you might find him there!"
With that, Chu Lingtian got up and walked back into the ward.
Xiao Lengyue frowned slightly. Chu Lingtian seemed to know something?
She had already witnessed Chu Lingtian's capabilities and decided to take her team downstairs to investigate.
"Alright! Stop standing there, let's go downstairs and take a look!" Xiao Lengyue said.
A police officer asked in confusion, "Sister Lengyue, didn't that man-eating monster enter this ward? Why are we going..."
Xiao Lengyue was known for her decisive and commanding presence in the police force.
The younger officers in the precinct all respectfully called her Sister Lengyue.
"Enough! You talk too much. Just do what you're told, why so many questions?"
Xiao Lengyue glanced at the ward and said, "Chu Lingtian said the guy isn't in the ward, so it must be true!"
This left everyone bewildered!
Was this still the same bold and fearless Xiao Lengyue?
The man-eating monster entered the ward and never came out. It was highly likely Chu Lingtian had hidden it.
Chu Lingtian was a strong suspect of being the cannibal king's accomplice!
And Xiao Lengyue was actually listening to a suspect?
"Hurry up and go downstairs to find him, quickly!"
Xiao Lengyue urged everyone to go downstairs.
...
In the ward.
Liu Bingxue woke up when she heard the noise outside. Seeing Chu Lingtian walk in, she immediately asked him what happened.
"Nothing, I heard the cannibal king online escaped to the hospital. Someone reported it, and the police came to investigate. I just went out to cooperate."
As soon as she heard the cannibal king was in the hospital.
Liu Bingxue shivered instinctively, feeling a little scared.
The news about the cannibal king had been all over television for the past two days, and Liu Bingxue was somewhat aware of it.
"Did the police find that man-eating monster?"
"Not yet, but they probably will soon!"
Liu Bingxue said nervously, "He should... he should have already escaped, right! If he's still in the hospital, it would be too terrifying!"
Although Liu Bingxue had been in the business world for many years and had seen her fair share of storms.
But a monster like the cannibal king was something she had never encountered before, hence her fear.
"He can't escape!"
"How do you know? That monster has killed so many people, and the police haven't caught him. It means he must be very skilled!"
"He only knows a few tricks, nothing impressive."
"You know that too? I think your ability to brag has increased significantly!"
"Hehe, I saw it on TV."
If Liu Bingxue had seen him throw the cannibal king downstairs like a chicken hawk, she wouldn't have said that.
Chu Lingtian couldn't be bothered to explain.
"There's still some time before dawn, you should go back to sleep!"
"I can't sleep. Just thinking about that man-eating monster makes me feel uneasy!"
Liu Bingxue, uncharacteristically, showed a hint of vulnerability.
Chu Lingtian said with a smile, "Sleep peacefully! If that man-eating monster comes, I'll let him eat me first, then you can take the opportunity to..."
*Ptooey!*
Liu Bingxue instinctively said, "Don't talk nonsense! I don't want my child to be born without a father!"
Upon hearing this, Chu Lingtian was overjoyed, his mood greatly improved.
"So you've decided to have it?"
Liu Bingxue then realized she had let slip. She quickly changed her tune, "Who said I'm having it? You misheard! Misheard!"
This woman's mood changed faster than the weather in June.
Chu Lingtian didn't care; as long as Liu Bingxue had the child, that was all that mattered.
*Knock, knock, knock! Knock, knock, knock!*
Someone was knocking on the door, and rather urgently!
Liu Bingxue was startled and immediately hid by the foot of the bed, her eyes even showing a hint of pleading.
"Don't worry, my dear, it's definitely not the cannibal king!"
Chu Lingtian chuckled, "He's not that gentle. If he wanted to come in, he would have just kicked the door down!"
That seemed to make sense!
Liu Bingxue gave an awkward smile, and her expression returned to normal.
Chu Lingtian went to open the door and saw a panting Xiao Lengyue standing at the entrance, looking as if she had just completed a strenuous workout.
"Ling Tian, who is it?" Liu Bingxue asked from inside the room.
"The police. They seem to have found the cannibal king and just want to ask me a few questions!"
As soon as she heard the cannibal king had been caught, Liu Bingxue's heart completely relaxed.
"How do you know the cannibal king was caught?"
Xiao Lengyue said coldly, "Confess quickly, did you kill that man-eating monster?"
Chu Lingtian didn't want to take credit or be interrogated by the police.
"You think too highly of me. If I had that ability, I'd be a bounty hunter! I'd make a lot of money."
Xiao Lengyue said sternly, "Chu Lingtian, I'm not joking with you. Don't be flippant, answer my question directly!"
At this moment, Xiao Lengyue's imposing aura returned.
Serious and unsmiling!
Chu Lingtian knew that denying it would be useless.
"Since you've said so much, you won't believe me if I say I haven't seen him, will you?"
Xiao Lengyue nodded without hesitation.
"Then what if I told you that he did indeed rush into our ward and then jumped out the window himself? Would you believe me then?"
Xiao Lengyue shook her head without thinking.
Are you kidding me?
Jumping out of a window from dozens of floors up, did she think this was a movie?
"You must tell me the truth, or you'll have to come back with me!"
