Rebirth in the 90s: Melting My Devoted Mr. Iceberg

Chapter 1275: Chapter 1275: An Unwelcome Request

"Understood!" Mr. Lan nodded and then turned around to continue interrogating Liu Guifang. However, he paused while passing by Jiang Xue’s room.

He was pondering whether, since Jiang Xue could identify the poisoner through Elder Jun’s blood, there might also be a way to make the suspect confess.

Thinking thus, he raised his hand and knocked on the door.

Inside the room, although Jiang Xue was lying on the bed, she was not asleep and was merely resting with her eyes closed. Upon hearing the knock on the door, she immediately leapt up from the bed, tidied her clothes, and then went to open the door.

The door opened, and Jiang Xue raised her eyebrows upon seeing Mr. Lan standing outside, asking, "Mr. Lan, is there anything?"

"Jiang Xue, the person matching the description you provided has been captured," Mr. Lan said with a smile.

"Captured? So quickly!" Jiang Xue was a bit surprised but also delighted. Capturing the person would make it easier to detoxify the old chief. As long as the mother Gu is eliminated, it would simplify her task, and Elder Jun would not have to suffer.

"Yes!" Mr. Lan nodded, but there was no joy on his face, which puzzled Jiang Xue, prompting her to ask, "Mr. Lan doesn’t seem happy?"

"That woman refuses to confess. Do you think I can be happy about that?"

"Refuses?" Jiang Xue was surprised once more. But after a moment’s thought, she understood. Because once she confesses, it’s as good as dead.

If she refuses, or downright denies, there might still be a chance to stay alive. So it is understandable that the woman refuses to confess. After all, even a difficult life is better than death.

Anyone who can live, would prefer not to die.

Mr. Lan originally thought Jiang Xue would say something more, but after saying those two words, she remained silent, which made Mr. Lan anxious, and he said, "Jiang Xue, I have an unworthy request."

"Mr. Lan, please feel free to speak." Jiang Xue did not know what Mr. Lan wanted to say, but since she was there, she could help out a bit more—it could be considered as forming a beneficial relationship.

"Jiang Xue, the thing is, we’ve already interrogated that person, but her mouth is incredibly tight, and can’t be pried open. So I’m asking if you have any other ways to make her talk."

"Mr. Lan wants me to help you?" Jiang Xue asked with a smile. Naturally, there were methods, but it depended on Mr. Lan’s sincerity.

"Yes!" Mr. Lan nodded and then said to Jiang Xue, "As long as you’re willing to help, we’ll discuss compensation later."

"With those words from Mr. Lan, I’m reassured."

"Where is the person? I’ll go with you."

"Please follow me!" Mr. Lan observed Jiang Xue’s agreement with great joy and led her to the place where Liu Guifang was being held.

Upon arrival, Liu Guifang was sitting with her head down. She had already made up her mind not to admit to anything, no matter what means the other party might use. Therefore, upon seeing Mr. Lan and Jiang Xue enter, she merely glanced at them before lowering her head again.

"It’s her!" Mr. Lan brought Jiang Xue into the interrogation room and pointed at the person tied to the chair, saying, "We just used force, but she’s stubborn and hasn’t said a word."

"Indeed, a tough one!" Jiang Xue remarked, then approached Liu Guifang, lightly lifting her chin.

While examining Liu Guifang, Jiang Xue also communicated with the Little Fox inside her space, asking, "Little Fox, can you help me confirm, is it this person?"

The Little Fox quickly replied, "Woman, it’s her. Be careful. She’s still carrying Gu Worms. That Mr. Lan has already been affected."
