The Innocent Wife of Scheming President
Chapter 254: Reminding or tempting

As they spoke, Olive's phone, which was in her pocket, began to ring.

Turning off the fire, Olive wiped her hands on her apron, and then she took out her phone, seeing that it was an unfamiliar number. She frowned slightly, wondering who had called her so early.

It wasn't because she hasn't had a nuisance call since she even had a nuisance call in the middle of the night as the phone rang and then abruptly stopped. But apparently, the caller had the spirit of perseverance at this point, so she had to press the answer button, answering the call.

"Hello, who's calling?”

"Miss Steele, there's something I'd like to ask you.” She heard a strange male voice, whereas it was as if she had heard his voice, while what he said was terse and cut to the chase.

"Who are you, please?"

"This is He'Zizhong from the criminal Investigation Team.” The man introduced himself.

Olive suddenly remembered him, and no wonder his voice sounded familiar to her. On the day of Qing Ling's accident, she had a brief conversation with him, but she still needed to say something polite. "Hello, Mr. He, 1 just wanted to speak to you."

In any case, the case of Qing Ling was like a knife hanging over their heads, as the Qing's members have not yet challenged them openly, but the Qing’s members have played a lot of tricks and intrigues against them secretly.

"Well, why don't we have a cup of coffee? I'll be waiting for you at the Lao Shu cafe at 9 a.m.” He'Zizhong wasn't the kind of person who liked to waffle.

Olive hesitated for a moment, saying. "Okay, I'll see you at 9 a.m.”

After hanging up the phone, Olive looked thoughtful. If it was business, why did he ask her out in private? It wasn't until Chloe's fingers swayed slightly in front of her that she came back to her senses.

"The case of Qing Ling hasn't been solved yet."

Olive took off her apron, saying gently. "It's only been a few days, and it's not going to be so easy to settle the feud of rich families like this."

Even if the case was settled, it would be a vexing matter, but she didn't know how to explain this to Chloe, so she just sighed, saying nothing.

It didn't mean that Chloe didn't understand that Olive was worried about this case, so Chloe stopped asking Olive that when Olive could bring her boyfriend over since Chloe would always have time to ask Olive.

After having breakfast with the family, Olive dropped Annie off at kindergarten and then drove off to meet He'Zizhong. sᴇaʀᴄh thᴇ (ꜰind)ɴʘvel.nᴇt website on Gøøglᴇ to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

He'Zizhong was clearly punctual, as he came to see her at exactly nine o “clock.

Olive just arrived and it was less than five minutes after she sat down. She chose a seat that was relatively concealed, while she had just ordered a cup of black coffee, which was steaming hot. He'Zizhong ordered a cup of coffee and a snack, while he didn't care what he was looking like, but gobbled it down, as if he's too hungry. He worked all night, so his eyes looked bloodshot and she didn't know where he was staying up all night, working. He was untidy, and he even looked a little messy for he didn't shave his face.

He seemed to be waiting for her to start asking about the case of Qing Ling, whereas Olive was patient because she knew that sometimes impatience didn't solve problems. Since he took the initiative to call her, he must have something to ask her.

Sure enough, when He'Zizhong was full, he suddenly said. "Miss Steele, do you know Mr. Hoyle, President of the Hoyle's Group?"

She was obviously surprised by the question, but she asked him calmly. "Does this have anything to do with the case of Mr. Qing?"

Although He'Zizhong's eyes looked tired, they were still glowing, and he stared at her firmly. "Miss Steele, As far as I know, you and Qing Ling had a bad time at Jing Jiang. Therefore, Alan threatened Qing Ling that he would cripple Qing Ling."

"Mr. He, you mean that Alan and I are now suspects?” Olive smiled, holding out her hands. "Do you want to detain me back for interrogation first?"

"No." After He'Zizhong had said this, He continued to lower his head, eating the rest of his snack. He quickly finished his snack, wiping his mouth with a napkin. "If you really did it, you wouldn't have killed Qing Ling at the Angel Holiday Hotel.”

Olive opened her mouth, chuckling. "So, Mr. He, why do you want to meet me?"

"I've asked you what I want to ask, but you haven't answered me yet.” He'Zizhong said.

Olive looked stunned. Did the captain of the criminal detection team like to gossip? Or was he up to something else?

It couldn't blame her that she had such improper thoughts at the moment, for in the presence of this stranger and at such a sensitive time, she could not help being cautious.

"Then, I still want to ask what does this have to do with the case of Mr. Qing?"

She was also good at pretending.

He'Zizhong gulped his coffee as if he was drinking water. "Miss Steele, it looks like you haven't seen the news on the Internet.”

"What news?" Olive looked puzzled while she sipped her coffee to avoid looking particularly curious.

"It's about the grudge between you, Mr. Qing, and Mr. Hoyle.” He'Zizhong said with understatement as if it was just an entertainment event that people read about every day, and then he looked at her as if he had a professional study in this area

Olive choked, and as her hand trembled, she almost spilled coffee from the cup she was holding. "What?"

She hadn't expected this to happen.

"I advise you not to work in the hotel today.”

"Why?" As soon as she had said this, she suddenly understood something.
