"Master Xiao..."
Meng Jixi opened and closed his mouth a few times. "...So what kind of treatment would satisfy it?"
"I don't know."
Xiao Xiao shook his head without hesitation.
Meng Jixi: ...
That answer was way too casual.
And that standard, too.
The yao was satisfied?
Who knew whether this yao might lie just so it could deal with Yu Hai itself?
Claim it was satisfied when it wasn't?
It wasn't that he was being paranoid. It really was possible, wasn't it?
Still, he stared intently at Xiao Xiao.
Master Xiao wouldn't let something like that happen, would he?
It wasn't that he wanted to take Yu Hai's side.
He respected the facts.
They'd have to wait until he'd investigated before drawing any conclusions.
And he believed the law would give Yu Hai the punishment he deserved.
"Let's go."
Xiao Xiao reminded Meng Jixi that he could start driving.
"Please take me back to the teahouse."
"Of course."
Meng Jixi started the car.
He slowly pressed down on the accelerator and drove toward the residential complex's entrance.
For now, he'd learned everything he wanted to know.
All he could think about was getting back to the station and thoroughly investigating Yu Hai.
He'd only learned about Yu Hai by chance yesterday.
He'd even questioned him face-to-face about his connection to Li Wei...
Li Wei...
His expression froze, and his eyes narrowed slightly—
The midsummer sun was always so brilliant.
Master Xiao had said that a yao was the culprit behind Li Wei's death.
That meant the truth about Li Wei's case had come to light.
The case could be closed.
But how was he supposed to write the report...
Of course, he couldn't put the truth in it.
He'd have to ask Father Meng to help cover it
