NovelEnglishChapter 1458: A Killer Move
Lu Xingzhi was messaging someone while holding his phone. When he realized Jiang Yao was sleeping, he sent one last text before falling asleep with her.
Jiang Yao cuddled close to Lu Xingzhi and promptly fell into a deep sleep. Lu Xingzhi’s fingers touched her hair softly as if he were soothing a child to sleep.
Even though Jiang Yao had fallen asleep, Lu Xingzhi was not sleepy until after midnight. He was still unable to sleep. He still saw those intense scenes when he closed his eyes.
He forced himself to sleep, but he was startled awake again and again. That emotion kept him awake. He glanced at the person sleeping sweetly next to him; she was breathing shallowly. He even reached out to touch Jiang Yao’s face to feel her breathing and heartbeat before he hid and locked that emotion away.

His racing heart began to calm down when he stared at her sleeping face and listened to her breathing.
That night, he slept by her side, staring at her face.
Lu Xingzhi left a note and raced to the police station the following day. He left before five in the morning. The road was quite humid, and the fog had not dissipated promptly.
When Liang Yueze heard that Lu Xingzhi had arrived at the police station, he put on his shoes and walked out of his office. He proceeded immediately to the interrogation room, where he observed a person standing with a posture as straight as a pine tree.
“Why are you here so early? Did you get enough sleep last night?” Liang Yueze approached Lu Xingzhi. He would not have raced over so early if he had slept. After all, nothing was going on there.
He might as well go there early unless he was terrified of being discovered by Jiang Yao.
Lu Xingzhi’s attention was drawn to the brightly lit room. There were men still looking at Ah Da, even in the middle of the night. Ah Da should be in a mental institution.
Ah Da had not closed his eyes for a long time. It was a double torment, both physically and psychologically.
“That’s a killer move.” When Liang Yueze noticed Lu Xingzhi’s attention drawn to the questioning chamber, he said, “We didn’t let Ah Da sleep. We did bring a cot for the officer. Ah Da cried when he heard the office snoring away. However, he still refused to cooperate.”

Lu Xingzhi examined the item in Liang Yueze’s hand and took it. He took two puffs after lighting it.
They did not care about their reputation; they couched on the steps and smoked. It did not take long for a pile of cigarette butts to gather by their feet. Then, Liang Yueze went to the snack bar to get another pack of cigarettes, which he subsequently threw on the ground.
“What were you thinking?”
Liang Yueze noticed the cigarette in Lu Xingzhi’s palm had almost scorched his fingertips, but the man did not react to that. So Liang Yueze threw the cigarette away and gave him a new one.
“Human behavior.” Lu Xingzhi’s response was brief.
“Sergeant Ge?” Liang Yueze inquired.
“Not quite.”
Lu Xingzhi shook his head, indicating that he had no intention of explaining. Then he immediately turned to face Liang Yueze and said, “Why did you divorce your wife? How could you agree to divorce the person you’ve loved so much and after marrying them?”
