Chapter 363 Wu Jin’s Cries

Song Yan turned around with an awkward smile, her gaze met with Wu Jin who was looking at her with a suspicious look in his eyes. Inwardly she released a sigh of relief for a second there she thought that it was Wu Qinfan, if that sis con had followed her then she would have had a rather hard time trying to explain herself.

Thankfully, her luck was no longer that bad or else, she might have been accused of some really weird things by Mother Wu and Wu Qinfan, at least Wu Jin was slightly rational compared to those two.

Song Yan acted as if she has walked inside this room by mistake and said with a smile, " Your house is really too big, third master Wu… I almost lost looking for a way out of this floor."

He didn't say anything instead his gaze turned to the portrait that Song Yan was looking at, twisting her head she followed his gaze and let out a soft 'ah' before saying, " I was attracted by just how beautiful that portrait was and before I knew it, my feet moved on their own, sorry about that but don't worry I didn't touch it, you caught me before I could do that," she poked her tongue out and looked at him mischievously. " Don't tell Yu Sheng about this or else he will buy the same one for me."

After she was done speaking, she was prepared to walk past Wu Jin but just as she tried to get away from him, he suddenly opened his mouth and stopped her. "Sister-in-law, I couldn't say it but that night … I would like to thank you for saving my life back then, if not for you I might have been in deep trouble."

Song Yan paused and turned her head to look at Wu Jin, her eyes flickered slightly as her gaze met with Wu Jin's, she could see that there was something more that he wanted to say to her so, she stopped and calmly said, " There is no need for you to thank me for something so small as that, I would have done something similar for anyone, third master Wu."

Wu Jin carefully assessed Song Yan's face, he has been working in the police department for a long time, what was more he was talented enough to climb the ranks at such a young age and become the chief of the department. So, when he caught Song Yan poking around Wu Genji's room, he saw the guilt in her eyes.

He was sure that Song Yan didn't care about Wu Genji sticking close to Fu Yu Sheng, so what made Song Yan look for Wu Genji's room? A bad premonition rose in his heart but he suppressed it, Wu Genji was his sister no matter how many times weird and out-of-the-world things happens around her, she was his sister who grew up with her.

He knew her the best right? How can he even think something like that?

After he thought it through, he solemnly looked at Song Yan and said, "Sister-in-law, there is something I want to ask you, but it's not convenient to talk here, would you mind coming to my study? My family is still talking so it will take a long time for lunch to start."

Song Yan already knew that he wanted to say something to her, so she nodded and motioned him to take her to his study. Wu Jin's study wasn't far from Wu Genji's room given that all three brothers had their rooms on the same floor as Wu Genji's. The two of them walked inside the study, Song Yan didn't speak instead she waited for Wu Jin to say what he wanted to say, she couldn't just go around saying things that 'your sister is fostering a demon' could she? She has to carefully sow the seed of doubt in Wu Jin's head, such that he will look at the situation by himself.

Wu Jin turned to look at Song Yan, his head throbbing with what Guo Bambang had told him. "Sister-in-law, I know that this might seem a bit far-fetched but I need you to tell me whether …." He swallowed hard, half of his heart already thumping against his chest, the thought of his little nephew being hurt or something worse happening to him caused a dull ache in his chest. " Whether the kidnapping of the kids has something to do with the supernatural, like the one I saw that night."

Though he asked Song Yan, he really wished she would laugh it off but instead, when he saw that Song Yan's expression turned sombre, his heart fell somewhere in his stomach, where? He didn't know all he knew was that his heart stopped beating for two seconds.

Song Yan took in Wu Jin's expression and said, " I didn't think that you will be smart enough to come to this conclusion, that's right there is something evil behind  the children vanishing in thin air and I also have a good idea who is behind it but I am afraid that you wouldn't believe me if I tell you, that's why you shouldn't poke your nose into this case too much," she paused and then swiftly added, " In fact, it would be better if you don't find out who is behind these kidnappings, you will be happy that way."

Wu Jin sucked in a breath as he staggered and dropped on his back, his hand still clutching the edge of his table he shook his head and looked at Song Yan with a pleading expression as he said, " Then… then what do you think, what happened my nephew?"

If he was being honest, he was already having a hard time believing that his nephew was still alive but he still held on to this small ray of hope, thinking that even if they didn't receive a call there was a chance that his nephew was snatched away by child traffickers and he was living in a faraway place but if the one involved in the kidnapping was a non-human then why will it keep his nephew alive till until now.

Wu Jin caught the sympathetic expression on Song Yan's face and his vision blurred at once.
