After rejecting my celebrity husband

Chapter 1172 - 1176: Discovery of the Golden Courtyard (1)

At a certain bureau, interrogation room.

Seo Fei sat restlessly at the edge of the table, her hands wringing nervously, her heart full of unease.

"Do you recognize this person?!"

Opposite her, a man in plain clothes passed over a photograph.

Seo Fei took the photo; in it was Lin Huo’s face, eyes closed, complexion pale, with clear bloodstains on one side of his face.

"I... I recognize him, he... his name is Lin Huo, he’s the assistant of my friend, Tang Ming."

"Do you know where he is now?" the man asked.

Seo Fei gently shook her head, "He left the night before last, and since then, I haven’t seen him. I tried calling him later, but couldn’t get through."

"Did he leave alone?"

"No, he left with Tang Ming."

"For what?"

"Tang Ming didn’t say, I don’t know."

"How much do you know about Lin Huo?"

"I didn’t have much contact with him; he seems to be an accountant, but I don’t know much else."

"Where is Tang Ming now?"

"I don’t know either. I tried calling him, but couldn’t get through." Seo Fei licked her dry lips nervously, "Can you tell me what exactly happened to them?!"

The questions were always centered around Tang Ming and Lin Huo, allowing Seo Fei to feel slightly relaxed yet producing some unusual concern.

She also couldn’t figure out the disappearance of Tang Ming and Lin Huo. Could it be that they did something?

"I’m the one questioning you now, not the other way around!" The man gave her an annoyed glance, "What is your relationship with Tang Ming?"

"We’re just friends."

"Friends?" The man looked at her across the table scrutinizingly, "If you’re just friends, why live in the same villa? You’re his girlfriend, right?"

Seo Fei immediately denied, "No, it’s because... we’re also working partners, so we live together."

...

A room apart.

Leng Zirui stood by the glass window looking at Seo Fei in the next room and asked Seo Shaochuan beside him, "Any leads?"

"They’re investigating." Seo Shaochuan looked at Seo Fei in the room, "What do we do now?"

"Let them continue the interrogation." Leng Zirui grabbed the jacket on the chair, "Let’s take a trip to the Golden Courtyard."

"Yes!" Seo Shaochuan agreed immediately, walking to the door to help him open it.

The two quickly left the police station and headed to the Golden Courtyard.

After going downstairs, the two drove straight to the Golden Courtyard. Inside the villa, several national security agents were carefully examining the place. Upon seeing Leng Zirui, they all promptly saluted him.

"Anything discovered?!" Leng Zirui took the shoe covers and gloves handed over by one of them.

"Nothing as of yet. This Tang Ming seems to be an extremely cautious person," one answered.

"Which room is Seo Fei’s bedroom?" Leng Zirui asked.

"Upstairs, second door on the left."

Going upstairs, Leng Zirui walked straight into Seo Fei’s bedroom. Inside, another staff member was meticulously inspecting the room; upon seeing him enter, the person immediately stood up, "General Leng."

"Anything peculiar?" Leng Zirui surveyed Seo Fei’s bedroom, knowing these experts would leave no trace in such searches.

"Nothing much else, just this seems a bit special." The person handed over a half-old iron box, "Inside is a letter."
