Chapter 36

At midnight, Tang Si’s call was like a life-saving straw for Song Yi.

He was suddenly interrupted.

After a brief silence on the other side…

Song Yi heard a chuckle from the phone and his voice sounded particularly sultry on the phone.

“You’ll lie naked on the autopsy bench, I mean.”

“Miss Song, what are you thinking about?”

Now wasn’t a good time to flirt. Song Yi took a deep breath. “Why did you say that?”

She had realized that something went wrong at her home.

And she knew that Tang Si had found out something, so she couldn’t wait to know the answer.

No wonder he let her go home. Perhaps all this was his plan.

“You don’t have to know the answer now.” On the phone, his voice was exceptionally low and attractive. “I just want to tell you to do what you should do. Go to bed. I’m watching you and nothing will happen. ”

Perhaps it was because he was talking on the phone or because he was up late that Song Yi found his voice was a little husky.

“Why should I trust you?”

“You have to trust me. You have no choice if you don’t want to lie on the autopsy bench and be eyed by a group of men.”

Before Song Yi finished speaking, she was interrupted by the man.

She was speechless and suddenly felt terrified. In just a few days, had this man already figured out her character and thoughts?

It seemed that he could guess exactly what she was thinking.

Song Yi’s red lips moved and her beautiful eyes looked opposite the living room. It was dark and raining heavily outside.

She didn’t know where he was.

“I know you won’t let it happen. Didn’t you say you would save me?” she said.

“Song Yi, I can tell you that the other DNA we discovered at Wu Wang’s home belonged to your good friend, Mu Wanxue. She is now a suspect.”

Tang Si said solemnly, “If you act rashly and alert her tonight, I will arrest you as an accomplice.”

When Song Yi heard this, her mind went blank shortly. At that moment, she was like duckweed floating in the water, rootless and without any support.

She couldn’t choose whom to believe.

One was her best friend and the other was the police.

“Xiao Yi, don’t you want to come to bed?” Mu Wanxue’s voice came from the room at this moment.

In an instant, Song Yi’s breathing was out of rhythm.

A string seemed to be pulling her heart back and forth which was so tight that it seemed it might break at any time. She stiffened in place.

She had never felt so scared in her own home.

If Tang Si was watching Mu Wanxue even at midnight, then what he said was probably true.

“Go to sleep.” Tang Si’s voice came again, and he said slowly, “Trust me, I can protect you.”

His low voice came from the phone, gently touching her eardrums, clear, calm, powerful, and reassuring.

For some reason, there seemed to be a certain power in his voice that made people obey him unconditionally.

This might be part of his charm, Song Yi thought.

In an instant, a sense of security spread layer by layer and overwhelmed her.

“OK.”

She knew he was protecting her as a policeman which was based on his sense of responsibility.

After hanging up the phone, she returned to the bedroom and Mu Wanxue asked, “Who was it?”

Song Yi smiled gently, got into bed, covered herself with the quilt, and put her phone under her pillow.

Then she said gently, “I lost my phone two days ago and hadn’t contacted my office, so many people called me the past few days.”

Mu Wanxue nodded slightly and suddenly called out, “Xiao Yi.”

“Yes?”

Mu Wanxue lay down and gently grasped Song Yi’s slender wrist. “I have you tonight, don’t I?”

Mu Wanxue asked half in jest.
