Chapter 989 - You are a person of interest in a murder case.
“Police?!”
Pei Zhenghui looked on in shock as the police introduced themselves again.
He was in disbelief once he heard their reason for being here.
“How could that be? My wife might be fierce, but there’s no way she’d capable of murdering someone. You must’ve gotten it wrongly!”
He and Pei Shishi were in disbelief.
However, compared to his daughter’s feigned expression, his was a lot more natural.
“Yes. How could my mother be capable of something like that? You must’ve mistaken her for someone else.”
With that, they fastened the cold handcuffs on her hands.
She froze as the handcuffs were put on her wrists.
Hints of panic flashed across her face, despite her daughter’s advice from earlier.
“Let go of my mother! Take me if you want to take somebody!”
When she heard the clicking of handcuffs on her mother’s wrists, Pei Shishi suddenly ran in front of her mother, unwilling to let the police take the latter with them.
“Sorry, missy, we’re just doing our job.”
After the two police officers apologized, they pushed her to the side apathetically.
They then nodded at Pei Zhenghui before they took the woman who had remained silent since she was handcuffed with them.
As she watched the police leave, Pei Shishi lifted her head and glared at her father furiously.
“Dad, why don’t you have any reaction? The police have taken mom!”
Hearing her daughter’s accusations, the man did not even flinch. He glanced plainly at her and walked upstairs.
As such, there was only her and the housekeeper left in the living room.
“M-Miss… ar-are you okay?” The housekeeper murmured in a trembling voice when she saw the anger on her face.
“Tell me; did you see anything?!”
She scrutinized the housekeeper standing before her with wide eyes.
“Ah!” The housekeeper shook her head hurriedly; her face was pale. “Nothing, nothing! I didn’t hear or see anything!”
“Since you didn’t hear anything, you’d better not have heard anything in the future as well, or else, don’t blame me.”
With that, she walked up the stairs with a cold expression.
Knock, knock, knock!
She gently knocked on the door of the study. Moments later, her father’s voice came from inside.
“Come in.”
