Love You Till the End-Chapter 961 - 960: So, Did You Find Your Friend?

Su Jiuyi patted her face to wake herself up a bit, then dialed the phone.

"Sorry, the number you have dialed is currently switched off. Please try again later, sorry..." a mechanical female voice echoed in the earpiece.

Why is it turned off?

At this moment, a knock sounded from the door: "Su Jiuyi, hurry up!"

Unexpectedly, the housekeeper appeared again. She frowned, quickly found a set of clothes to change into, and then opened the door to ask the housekeeper: "Has Young Master Jue left?"

It must have been the gravity of Su Jiuyi’s expression that caused the housekeeper to be stunned for a second or two before she remembered to reply: "No."

Paying no heed to what she was saying, Su Jiuyi walked swiftly to the elevator, pressed the button for Shi Aoju’s floor, leaving the puzzled housekeeper calling after her.

Just as Shi Aoju exited his room, he saw Su Jiuyi rushing towards him. He glanced at her, buttoned up his suit jacket, and said nothing.

"Well..." Su Jiuyi panted, "Yesterday, Jingren rushed out of Ciaos for some unknown reason. I suspect she saw the shooter who attacked me in the surveillance room before and decided to give chase. I can’t jump to conclusions, but she was sending messages last night, yet now I can’t reach her on the phone. I fear something has happened to her."

After Su Jiuyi finished in one breath, Shi Aoju showed no reaction at all.

"She’s your fiancée, after all. You should at least be concerned!" Seeing his indifferent look, Su Jiuyi didn’t know where her courage came from as she yelled with teary eyes.

"Ding," the elevator door opened, and several maids looked in surprise at the situation outside. At this moment, Su Jiuyi was glaring angrily at Shi Aoju, who nonchalantly walked into the elevator with long strides.

Completely unfazed by taking the public elevator today.

"Young Master Jue!," regardless of whether there were others around, Su Jiuyi, like a furious rabbit, kept shouting behind him, "Young Master Jue!"

The elevator door closed, and Su Jiuyi ran down the stairs in pursuit.

Shi Aoju walked to his car, took out the car keys, opened the door, and got in. Standing outside the car, Su Jiuyi was both furious and anxious, boldly blocking his way.

Shi Aoju, seeing this, calmly said: "Get in the car."

Su Jiuyi hesitated, unsure of his intentions, but still ran over, opened the car door, and sat in the passenger seat.

"The deceased Zhao Ren, male, 32 years old, died around 1:30 a.m., was shot in the temple with a handgun, causing instant death," the police took notes on the side. "Since the gun had a silencer, there was no gunshot sound, and none of the nearby residents noticed anything."

"Miss Qi, did you come across this scene because you wanted to visit a friend after work and happened to pass by this floor?" the officer questioned witness Qi Jingren.

"Yes," Qi Jingren replied.

"Was the door open when you arrived?" the investigator asked.

"Mm," Qi Jingren recalled, "When I reached this floor, I saw the door open. I thought my friend’s house had been burglarized. When I went in, I realized I was on the wrong floor, then I found the victim lying on the sofa, which was stained red with blood. That’s when I realized something was wrong, so I called the police."

"Did you see anyone escape from this room?"

"No, I was alone."

"Did you find your friend?" The officer looked into her eyes, seemingly trying to determine if she was lying.
