Chapter 844: You Really Disgust Me (4)
Putting down the phone, Mu Ke’s face is still very upset. Sheng Jiayu covered his hand, "What’s wrong?"
"They’ve caught him."
Mu Ke spoke flatly, Sheng Jiayu was slightly taken aback, of course, the person mentioned wasn’t Su Wan, but the man who kidnapped her that day.
"It’s good that they’ve caught him. Why do you seem unhappy?"
Mu Ke’s lips twitched slightly, the words were on the tip of his tongue but he swallowed them back, "It’s nothing, I just feel it’s too easy for him."
Sheng Jiayu quickly made sense of it, that man wasn’t the main culprit, so even if sentenced, it wouldn’t be severe. But that person obviously irritated Mu Ke, which is why he said it was too easy for him.
Sheng Jiayu laughed, moved slightly and leaned against Mu Ke’s arm, "It’s over now, everything’s in the past, did you want to use your scalpel to dissect him?"
Mu Ke glanced at her, a cold smile on his lips, "That would be an insult to my scalpel."
Sheng Jiayu didn’t dwell on that matter, the man was caught, she was safe, in fact, with Su Wan being captured, she was already safe.
Unconsciously, her head tilted to the side as she fell asleep. Mu Ke reached out and tucked the blanket around Sheng Jiayu, looking at her little face, a dark uncertainty lingered in the man’s eyes.
Soon, Sheng Jiayu’s phone lit up, she had it on silent mode, the screen lit up briefly with an incoming message. Mu Ke carefully reached over her and took the phone.
Unlocking it, it was a message from Xin Ke: [Are you asleep? Good night, sweet dreams.]
Mu Ke’s eyes grew even darker, he got out of bed, walked to the balcony, paused, then turned back and took a cigarette from the drawer under the TV cabinet and lit it.
Mu Ke generally doesn’t smoke, due to his professional habits, but whenever his mood is extremely agitated, he still reaches for one, nicotine isn’t good, but it always brings a short clarity to one’s mind.
Through the thin smoke, Mu Ke stared into the distance, his eyes narrowing.
The call just now was from Sheng Jianan, who mentioned two things, first was what he told Sheng Jiayu, that they caught the man, but there was another thing he didn’t mention.
After being caught, the man confessed to Su Wan instructing him to kidnap Sheng Jiayu but firmly denied any intent to kill and silence.
After all, kidnapping, not being the main culprit, without causing death, wouldn’t result in a heavy penalty. However, if there was intent to murder, that would change things.
But Sheng Jianan’s question made the man’s face change dramatically.
"Since you didn’t intend to kill, the fire outside the warehouse was set by you, right? In such an environment, even if they weren’t burned to death, they would die from excessive smoke inhalation, isn’t that attempted murder?"
Although Sheng Jianan and Sheng Jiayu haven’t had much contact, in Sheng Jianan’s heart, his sister has always been there.
This time, what happened to Sheng Jiayu appeared to infuriate Mu Ke the most, but actually, Young Master Sheng was equally furious. On his turf, targeting his sister, someone has really lost their sense.
That’s why during the interrogation, Sheng Jianan personally went to the police station.
It was exactly his question that led the man to confess about another person.
"No... they wouldn’t be burned to death. Of the two, I only tied up one person, the other was free..."
The cigarette between his fingers had burned out without notice, bringing a scorching sensation, Mu Ke finally snapped back to reality and stubbed out the cigarette.
Counteracting with a scheme, along with a bitter trick...
Mu Ke’s eyes grew even colder.
