Chapter 1245: Curiosity
As the party left the detention center, Mu Feichi waited for Yun Xi to catch up to him. “How are you so sure that he was sent here by Han Hongbin?” he asked.
His men had spent a whole night interrogating him, yet had failed to produce any results. The man obviously had experience with interrogations. He must have gone through professional training on how to withstand them.
Mu Feichi was overwhelmed by curiosity. How had Yun Xi so quickly picked up on the fact that the man was in cahoots with Han Hongbin?
“Um...I tricked him into telling me some things. I knew it was someone I had offended recently. So it had to have been either the Han or the Qiao families. But it wouldn’t have been Han Wanling. She’s logical enough to not send another man to kidnap and kill me. So whoever sent him, I knew it was not Han Wanling. Moreover, Qiao Ximin does hate me, but not to the extent of wanting to kill me. She’s smart, and she wants to maintain a good relationship with you after all. If she killed me now, her collaboration with the Mu Corporation would go down the drain. The only possibility I could think of was Han Hongbin, so I brought it up to test him a little bit, and who would have thought he would fumble?”
Her explanation was logical and sensible, yet Mu Feichi did not feel entirely convinced by what she said.
The wits of his darling seemed to be above the level of any ordinary person.
To cover up her lack of evidence, Yun Xi changed the subject and spoke to Yi Qianmo instead. She frowned as she thought deeply, and she probed, “Is it just me, or did the man seem to be awfully mentally strong during our exchange. He must be someone who trains other criminals to be professional. This is the kind of man we need to keep behind bars.”
Yi Qianmo nodded in agreement. “You’re right. I picked up on that too. His reactions were calm and not reactive. No wonder they could barely squeeze anything out of him even after a night of interrogation. What a man.
“Speaking of which...” Yi Qianmo took another glance at the evidence bag she was holding. “What do you need his hair for? Do you think he might be someone special?”
“It’s just an intuition I had. I can’t answer it until I have some solid evidence.”
Yi Qianmo laughed lightly. He didn’t think Yun Xi was being honest with them.
“If I could make a bold guess from what we heard you instruct Qi Yuan, this man could have a direct relationship with Han Hongbin. An illegitimate child, perhaps?”
Yun Xi ‘s reaction had given them enough hints to figure out what she was thinking about.
Arching her eyebrows, Yun Xi tucked the evidence bag in her hands away in her pocket. “It’s just a guess. His face just feels familiar to me. If the DNA test proves me wrong, then I will think of something else.”
If the evidence could prove a relationship between the two, the man would become a valuable chess piece in her plans.
Han Hongbin already had Han Yaotian who was an illegitimate son. It was highly possible that he would have another one.
However, the thought of a conflict between two illegitimate sons seemed to be a topic of interest for Yun Xi.
In comparison to Han Yaotian, this man seemed to have received more professional training, and the dark criminal psyche he possessed had given him a high propensity to commit crimes. To release the man would be releasing a disease into society.
Turning back to Mu Feichi, Yun Xi said, “I think we definitely shouldn’t let him go whether we find out who he is or not. He is a high-level threat, and it would be difficult to capture him again once he flees.”
“I agree. This place is a good place for him.”
Yun Xi nodded and attempted to change the subject again. “I wonder how Han Wanling is doing. Should we go take a look, Young Commander?”
Mu Feichi sighed and gave her a resigned look.. “Sure, let’s go take a look.”
