Xiao Xun waved her hand, "Let's not talk about that. What I'm thinking about now is that I'm only on bail. How can I achieve true freedom?"
Mu Jiahe proposed a solution she had long thought of, "Why don't we just go to another world and not come back? That would be a permanent solution. What do you think?"
Xiao Xun looked troubled, "No way! As you can see, my parents are getting older by the day, and I'm the only child in the family. If I go to that world with you and don't come back, they'll go crazy."
"Since you can go, they must be able to go too. Why not go together? Your cooking skills are so good, and your father is a chef, so the taste is even better."
Xiao Xun thought of the scene of the four of them in Mu Jiahe's bedroom, and shuddered. She definitely wouldn't agree.
Mu Jiahe didn't insist too much. After dinner, the two returned to the villa district.
Xiao Xun looked at the news on her phone, "Why is my release causing such a big uproar online?"
Mu Jiahe shrugged, "There's nothing I can do. I originally wanted the police to use public opinion to bring the truth to light sooner, but who knew it would escalate to this point? Public opinion is not something we can control."
She then opened the system's operating platform on her phone and said, "Now, to quell the public outcry, we can only expedite the investigation of the truth of the case."
Xiao Xun put down her phone, "That night was truly like encountering a ghost. I never would have imagined that something like this would happen."
Mu Jiahe sat down opposite Xiao Xun, "Tell me in detail, what exactly happened that night?"
Hearing that she had to talk about that night again, Xiao Xun's mental state was not good, and her whole body appeared very dejected. "Actually, it's nothing much. I've explained it dozens of times to the police, but I haven't told them about my hacker identity.
You've heard about what happened that day. Someone warned me and wanted me to quit Saint-Romain. I used the evening time to see if it was someone I had offended before, but unexpectedly, the other party claimed to be my online alias."
Mu Jiahe suddenly smiled, perhaps finding Xiao Xun's pouting expression very cute.
Xiao Xun was momentarily stunned. That smile was similar to the mysterious smile of the pilot of Unit-01.
"Silly, why did you stop talking?"
Called affectionately by Mu Jiahe, Xiao Xun regained her composure, "Later, through a search of the address, I found Black Shark, who is also one of the world's top ten hackers. Moreover, I chose to call the police. After the other party was arrested by the police, I went to the police station. After coming out, I thought it was rare to meet an old classmate, and we both had worries, so naturally, drinks flowed like water. After drinking until late at night, I thought I had to cook for you and send you to work the next day..."
Mu Jiahe propped her chin, "I'm involved in this too!"
Xiao Xun frowned, "Don't interrupt, we're getting to the critical part. Later, I found a designated driver. It was dark, and I had drunk a lot, so I didn't remember what the driver looked like. I didn't expect this kid to dump me in the wilderness. It was windy and raining. When I woke up, I was almost scared to death."
"Later, I couldn't care less. I drove back in the heavy rain. You already know what happened next."
Then, he let out a long sigh, "I don't believe it, can I kill someone when I'm drunk late at night?"
"That's why you can sit here and talk to me. Our lawyer also said that the chain of evidence is too complete, so complete that it feels a bit contrived."
Mu Jiahe remembered something and asked him, "Do you know the captain of the criminal police in our city bureau?"
Xiao Xun thought for a moment, "No? Why?"
Mu Jiahe told him, "That's strange. The chain of evidence was so complete, and the prosecutor's office had issued an arrest warrant. It was a public prosecution case, and the criminal investigation team only needed to arrest the person. But the captain of the criminal investigation team kept delaying the handover, saying there were still doubts in the case."
Xiao Xun didn't know the reason. She thought it might be that a friend's relative had intervened, which was why she was being taken care of. It was very likely Chu Ningxiang. Judging from the previous traffic police incident, her family probably had some connection with the police, and they were not ordinary people.
However, she could only shake her head at Mu Jiahe and say she didn't know.
Mu Jiahe tapped the table, "Prepare to go! Because of you, the scheduled competition has been postponed. I've been distracted during the morning court sessions. Even fighting back the beast races didn't make me happy."
Xiao Xun looked at Mu Jiahe curiously, "Competition? What competition?"
"Have you become amnesiac from being beaten up in the detention center? Naturally, it's the competition to choose my other half. You were the first to sign up, and you can't back out now."
It was better not to mention it, but as soon as it was mentioned, Xiao Xun's legs started to tremble a little, "I'm not ready yet. Do I have to compete?"
Mu Jiahe stood up and walked over, "If you don't compete, how can you legitimately enter and leave my bedroom? The entire Saint-Romain is now spreading rumors about us. Whether it's here or over there, if you don't find a way to resolve it, those rumors will become scandals."
Xiao Xun thought it made sense and boldly asked, "Then, from now on..."
Mu Jiahe knew what he wanted to ask, "We are currently in a subordinate and cooperative relationship. If you have a girl you like, I will explain it for you."
Xiao Xun blushed, "President Mu, I didn't mean that. I'm just... I've never had a serious girlfriend in my life, and I'm not good at handling relationships."
Mu Jiahe smiled and patted Xiao Xun's shoulder, "It's like I'm seriously dating a boyfriend. Alright, it's getting late, we should go. I need to notify them overnight that the competition officially begins."
As Xiao Xun followed Mu Jiahe towards the second floor, she asked her, "Is that competition difficult?"
Mu Jiahe stopped, "It's not difficult. For you, it's equivalent to an open-book exam."
