Lu Qi said, "Really not?"
Xu Chunliang replied, "Isn't that nonsense? As an upright national cadre, do I need to stoop to the level of those two spoiled brats? I have an alibi."
Lu Qi was convinced it had nothing to do with him, which put his mind at ease.
Xu Chunliang had just hung up the phone when Hua Zhuyue called again. The police had contacted her too. Because they had previously teamed up in Nanjiang to take down Tang Tianyi and Han Wensheng, those two were the first to report them as suspects.
Hua Zhuyue didn't even know Tang Tianyi was in Dongzhou. Now the police wanted her to go to the station for questioning. Hua Zhuyue called Xu Chunliang to give him a heads up, so he could be mentally prepared.
Xu Chunliang offered to accompany her, but Hua Zhuyue said there was no need. The police station isn't a pleasant place. She would just go and explain things clearly. Since they hadn't asked Xu Chunliang to come, there was no need for him to invite trouble.
