Leap Forward Comics: Watch How I Become a Villainess

Chapter 234: It’s easy to hide from open guns and hard to avoid hidden arrows

"Not coming back? Did something happen?" Xia Lan felt somewhat displeased for some reason, not because Lu He wasn't coming home, but because of Shen Tong's attitude and tone.

Taking advantage of his height, Shen Tong patted Xia Lan's head and said, "Little sister, don't pry into adult matters."

Xia Lan shook off her hand uncooperatively: "Please tell me, what happened to my girlfriend? Why can't she come back!"

Seeing that the other party was unhappy, Shen Tong calmed down a bit: "We've caught the suspect, so we need to interrogate him tonight. Otherwise, if we send him to the police station tomorrow, she won't have time to ask him a lot of questions."

"I'll go with you!" Xia Lan looked out the window and saw the black motorcycle parked in the yard; she'd seen Han Xi ride it at school before...

Xia Lan frowned; it was probably Lu He who gave it to Shen Tong to ride.

"This is not possible..."

"Why not!" Shen Tong was about to refuse Xia Lan when someone pushed him from behind, followed by a hostile voice.

Shen Tong turned around and saw a little kid who was half a head shorter than Xia Lan and looked a lot like her.

"You're Lin Zhao?" Shen Tong smiled dismissively, having seen her information before.

If we're talking about someone who's mentally unstable, Lin Zhao is definitely one of them. She doesn't tolerate anyone, especially those who bully her sister.

"Who do you think you are, pointing fingers at other people's houses like that? How dare you!" Lin Zhao cursed under his breath.

Seeing Lin Zhao speak so bluntly and without any respect, a dark glint flashed in Shen Tong's eyes, but she immediately replaced it with a fawning smile.

"It's not as bad as you make it out to be. I was just working... Han Xi was also working. Shouldn't you all be more sensible?" Shen Tong said, giving Xia Lan a meaningful look.

However, Xia Lan is no longer the soft-hearted girl who was easily bullied and had no words.

Just as Lin Zhao was about to start cursing, Xia Lan pulled her back and stepped forward: "Han Xi is neither a police officer nor a public official. She's handling official business? Do you think that makes sense?"

Xia Lan said calmly, crossing her arms: "Han Xi and I are investigating Wu Chunfang's case together. I know a lot of the details of the case, so it's most appropriate for me to go."

Reasonable and well-founded.

Seeing that Shen Tong was momentarily speechless, Lin Zhao quickly added fuel to the fire.

"That's right, who do you think you are? You're not allowing the couple to meet, so get out of here!"

Seeing that she couldn't win an argument with the two sisters, Shen Tong simply reached out and tucked the ends of her hair that were falling in front of her eyes behind her ears, revealing a different kind of charming expression.

"Actually, I confessed my feelings to her..."

"What confession? To whom?" Lin Zhao's alarm bells rang, and she jumped up high in a flash.

"With Han Xi~" Shen Tong shrugged, her eyelashes trembling slightly, revealing a sad expression: "But she rejected me."

Although Xia Lan's expression remained unchanged, she secretly breathed a sigh of relief, her nails digging into her clothes from nervousness.

"Seeing you, I know why she rejected me. I can tell you care about her a lot..." Shen Tong smiled with relief.

"Of course! My sister and sister-in-law have an amazing relationship!" Lin Zhao said, while gesturing with her hands to indicate that she was retreating.

“Anyway, it was wrong of me to provoke you just now, but Han Xi told me that I can’t take you with me. It’s too dangerous. We’re dealing with a murderer…” Shen Tong said seriously, “She’s really worried about you…”

Seeing how sincere Shen Tong was, Xia Lan didn't insist on going anymore. She at least believed that Lu He was genuinely worried about her.

"Then be careful..." That was the last sentence he gave.

Shen Tong took some clothes, then pretended to look through the notes and materials Lu He had left in the room before taking his leave.

Watching Shen Tong's departing figure, Lin Zhao looked unhappy: "This person came with ill intentions, and seems so annoying... Tsk, what a waste of such a pretty face, how can her personality be so irritating!"

Xia Lan smiled and patted Lin Zhao's head gently, soothing her: "It's okay, let's ignore her. Your sister-in-law wouldn't be seduced by someone like that~ I believe in her~"

"Absolutely! You two must love each other forever!" Lin Zhao muttered as she followed Xia Lan back into the house, carrying an ice cream cone in her hand. She excitedly told her sister that she had specially brought the ice cream...

Shen Tong went out the door, drove away, and finally no longer needed to hide the wicked smile on his lips.

Emotional rifts don't form overnight, but if you keep working on them, you'll eventually make a crack...

Back in her rented room, listening to Zheng Ming and Lu He still outwitting Zhang Dian in the other room, she didn't give the clothes to Lu He, but instead tossed them into another room.

She also didn't plan to tell Lu He that she had been to their house and looked for Xia Lan.

Shen Tong had other plans. She gently sucked on her finger, her smile becoming even more alluring...
