Shocked by the cold well water and the screams, Qiu Baolin cursed loudly, "Who, who the fuck splashed water on me?"
He had completely forgotten what he had done before.
The team leader said angrily, "Qiu Baolin, who do you think you are?"
Qiu Baolin’s mind went blank for a moment, unable to comprehend the situation at hand.
When he realized he couldn’t move, he finally came to his senses, his mind working quickly. "Let me go! Who did this?"
The team leader stepped forward and kicked him. "You don’t know what you did, and you still dare to be arrogant here?"
Qiu Baojuan, who didn’t have her brother’s nerve, was shivering all over from the dousing. After her initial screams, she cowered and fell silent.
The Branch Secretary opened the office door, had them brought inside, and asked, "Tell me, what were you doing at Chu Zhiqing’s house in the middle of the night?"
Qiu Baojuan quickly shook her head. "I didn’t, I didn’t go."
Yunyi scoffed coldly. "You didn’t enter the courtyard, but you helped your brother keep watch outside."
Qiu Baojuan panicked. "I didn’t! You’re talking nonsense!"
Yunyi couldn’t be bothered to argue with them. "Whether you did it or not isn’t up to you to say, and of course, it isn’t up to me either. I trust that when the police arrive, they’ll be able to investigate."
These words scared Qiu Baojuan so much she started to tremble. "I, I, I was just passing by."
Nobody in the room believed her words, and likely neither did she.
Qiu Baolin knew very well that involving the police was not an option; that would truly be the end of him.
Qiu Baolin had already thought it through by now. He couldn’t let his sister speak first. If she said something she shouldn’t, they would be well and truly finished.
