Chapter 774: Disappointed to See Me? (2)

Xu Weilai had to agree to the bail condition of not leaving the country during the investigation period and that she could be summoned for questioning whenever she was required. Her attorney led her out of the police station after they paid the required bail amount.

Xu Weilai looked up at the sky and took a deep breath of the free air when both of them stood at the entrance of the police station. Only then did she look back at Zhou’s face and teased him, “Are all lawyers quick-witted and cunning? You could swear black to be white.”

She had no mental treatment, but she had a mental state evaluation report. Even though the video clearly recorded her crime, he could still argue that the evidence was unreliable.

Zhou looked back at her and gave her a serious reply. “We rely on our wits to make a living, after all. How could we serve our clients well without this skill?”

The serious reply from him was exactly the same as Gu Yu’s.

Xu Weilai tilted her head and probed, “You and Gu Yu… were mentored by the same experienced lawyer?”

Zhou could see through the hidden meaning behind her question. She just wanted to know who entrusted him to help her and whether it was Gu Yu.

However, he himself could not provide her with the answer.

Zhou raised his hand and looked at his watch. He then gave Xu Weilai a quick smile, “Miss Xu, please wait here for a while. Someone will pick you up soon. I have something to attend to, so I’ll take my leave first. Please contact me if they summon you later on and you need me to accompany you.”

Xu Weilai did not ask further, as she knew she could not pry the information she wanted from Zhou. She nodded and even raised her hand to wave him goodbye. “Goodbye, Zhou. Take care.”

Zhou turned around, walked towards his car. He drove away after he got into his car.

Bored waiting for the car that was supposed to pick her up, she kicked a small piece of rocks on the ground. A black sedan drove by and stopped in front of her soon after.

The driver got out of the car and went around to Xu Weilai’s side. He then opened the door and made a gesture of invitation for her to get in.

Xu Weilai looked into the car and saw a person dressed in a black suit with her hair tied up, exhibiting an aura of dominance and arrogance seated in it. She was Zuo Si.

Zuo Si turned her face to look at her with a smirk. “Disappointed to see me?”

However, Xu Weilai did not look disappointed as she had hoped. Xu Weilai was smiling at her instead and answered her cheerfully, “Not at all.”

Xu Weilai bent and got in the car. The driver closed the car door and trotted back to the driver’s seat. They then drove off.

The car joined the slow traffic on the main road.

Zuo Si found her answer interesting and asked, “What do you mean by you’re not disappointed?”

“Because I got the answer I wanted to know.” Xu Weilai’s eyes met hers. “Gu Yu didn’t die, did he? Was it also Gu Yu’s idea for you to be here?”

Zuo Si laughed and raised her chin. “Xu Weilai, are you that confident that Gu Yu did not die and even came to save you? Don’t forget, you’re the one who stabbed him with the dagger to his heart…”

Xu Weilai’s smile broadened and her eyes shone brighter, “Is it? Your relationship with Gu Yu doesn’t seem good. Didn’t he tell you about what happened that day?”

There was a flicker of emotion in Zuo Si’s eyes. Despite that, her smile remained unchanged.

Xu Weilai did not intend to hide anything from Zuo Si as well, “I didn’t kill Gu Yu. He stabbed himself with the dagger… holding my hand.”
