Chapter 587: No Flaws Exposed

Book Chapter 587 – No Flaws (5 Updates)

“Love?”

Gan Shaomei slowly lifted her head, her gaze completely impassive as she looked into Xiao Yu’s eyes. “So, do you believe in love?”

Suddenly, the conversation took a philosophical turn… Xiao Yu pondered for a moment but remained silent. Lin

Because he believed that answering would reveal too much about his character.

When you search for someone else’s flaw, they’re equally probing for your weaknesses.

A battle of wits.

Though there was not the slightest hint of anger.

Yet it remained the most dangerous contest!

“Not even a girlfriend, huh?”

For the first time, a mocking flash crossed Gan Shaomei’s face. “So you really don’t know what love is?”

Her expression dripped with scorn.

“Sometimes a loud cry doesn’t mean you’re heartbroken; sometimes convulsions don’t mean you’re ill.”

Xiao Yu smiled, “Notice how the faster you brush, the more foam appears. The harder you turn on the tap, the more water flows.”

“Hmm?” Gan Shaomei was momentarily taken aback.

“Ha!”

Xiao Yu sneered, “It turns out you’re the one who doesn’t understand love!” 27

Gan Shaomei fell silent.

She had just intended to mock him,

only to realize she was the one being mocked!

“The victim, Wen Heyu, is 28, and his wife, Qi Dandan, is 27?”

Xiao Yu fixed his gaze on her and said, “What a coincidence—you’re 27 too?”

Gan Shaomei remained silent, her expression icy.

“Wen Heyu is an employee at a certain company… although just an employee, he’s a software developer.”

Xiao Yu continued, “While ordinary software developers easily earn six figures a year, Wen Heyu is different. Four years ago, he was already making over a million annually and even benefited from software sales bonuses. In just a few years, his personal fortune has soared past ten million.”

“Three years ago, his company even rewarded him at the annual meeting with a luxury car worth seven million… the Cullinan!”

“What a coincidence. I heard your boyfriend also seems to have a Cullinan?”

“Even more coincidentally, once this business apartment building was completed, Wen Heyu chose a property here valued at nearly three million.”

“And you, a dual-certified professional, gave up a six-figure salary to forgo a career as a psychologist—settling instead for a three-thousand-a-month job as an administrative clerk at the Sales Center?”

“Remember when I told you that you shouldn’t hypnotize Wu Jing? Do you understand what that implies?”

“Because in your two years at the Sales Center, although some have seen you leaving work in a Cullinan, everyone assumed the driver was your boyfriend.”

“Yet not a single colleague has ever seen your boyfriend.”

“May I deduce that the reason you hypnotized Wu Jing—and made her forget certain memories about you—is because… she saw your boyfriend?”

“And that boyfriend of yours shocked her to the core, leaving her in disbelief. If it were exposed, it could cause big trouble. Is that why you had to hypnotize her?”

Xiao Yu gave Gan Shaomei a cold stare as her face turned ghostly. “You’ve sealed off Wu Jing’s memory of that incident!”

Gan Shaomei’s expression indeed changed.

It became colder than ice, as if frost could be scraped off, leaving her motionless.

After a long moment, a sinister smile crept back onto her face as she asked coolly, “Then what?”

Her ruthless, calm, and merciless nature was truly shocking… Xiao Yu was taken aback.

Had it been any other suspect, hearing such deductions would have thrown them into panic.

They likely would have been in a state of chaos and fear by now.

Those with fragile nerves might have even been paralyzed with fright.

Why is Gan Shaomei so frighteningly calm?

Because she understands one fundamental truth.

As long as she never reveals a crack, even if the police catch on…

there would still be nothing they could do to her.

You can only nab an adulterer by catching them in the act, or a thief by seizing the loot.

No evidence—so what do you expect?

“Do you think that just because we lack evidence, even if I could piece together every detail and expose your unspeakable connection with the victim, Wen Heyu, you’d still be untouchable?”

Xiao Yu, inwardly impressed by her cunning, smiled as though he had read her mind.

“Isn’t that so?” Gan Shaomei scoffed.

“Your mindset is dangerous. Believe it or not, I used to show off just like you.”

Xiao Yu smiled, “But my inherently icy demeanor ended up giving me rheumatoid arthritis!”

Gan Shaomei: …

She hadn’t even noticed the rheumatoid arthritis.

A bizarre urge to hit Xiao Yu surged within her.

And she wasn’t the only one feeling that way.

Everyone who knew Xiao Yu had, to some extent, harbored similar thoughts.

She wasn’t the first—and she wouldn’t be the last!

An eight-year-old child was brought before Xiao Yu by the police.

This child was the very one who had keyed a car in the parking lot back then…

……

City Bureau – a special interrogation room.

Gan Shaomei sat in the interrogation chair.

Xiao Yu stood by her side, pointing at the mirror on the wall.

You could say it’s a one-way mirror.

From the inside, it’s an ordinary mirror;

from the outside, it’s transparent glass that reveals everything within the interrogation room.

At that moment, an eight-year-old child, accompanied by a guardian, watched Gan Shaomei from within the room.

“So, you paid five hundred to instruct that eight-year-old to key a car?”

Xiao Yu turned his head and looked at the composed Gan Shaomei. “As long as the child recognizes you…”

“Can an eight-year-old testify?” Gan Shaomei laughed coldly.

560

“They can!”

Xiao Yu laughed, “Even a younger child—if they can clearly express themselves and their testimony suits their age—can serve as evidence.”

“Of course, the qualifications of a witness and the strength of their testimony are not the same thing.”

“Because an eight-year-old understands nothing, isn’t an adult, and what they say cannot be taken as valid testimony.”

“Isn’t that contradictory?” Gan Shaomei sneered once more.

“Not exactly; the evidence needed by the police doesn’t always require a witness to take the stand.”

Xiao Yu shrugged, “It just needs to be done in a way that the witness can confirm the evidence is factual.”

“Oh.”

Far from panicking, Gan Shaomei raised her head to face the one-way mirror and said coldly, “Then let this child have a good look—am I not the one?”

Xiao Yu sighed, “This is troublesome…”

Is there an accomplice? Could someone else have directed the child to key the car?

No—not an accomplice.

If Xiao Yu’s hunch was correct, it must have been a woman ordering the child.

“Wu Jing?”

Xiao Yu laughed softly, “Perhaps she used hypnosis to control Wu Jing, having her lure the child?”

Gan Shaomei’s expression turned pale once again, dumbfounded.

Her eyes widened in astonishment as she stared blankly at Xiao Yu.

“What kind of monster are you?!”
