Driver of The Beautiful CEO - Chapter 64: Caught

‘Ding dong~ ding dong~’

Pan Yuyi, who was sleeping soundly, was awakened by hurried doorbells outside the door. She turned over in a daze and shouted, "Who is it?"

‘Ding dong~’

When she only got the sound of a doorbell as an answer, she got angry and sat up right away, enduring the headache from being drunk last night. The quilt covering her slid down, and the colors of spring came out…

Why is it so chilly?

Pan Yuyi rubbed her eyes and glanced down. In an instant, her eyes widened as round as a light bulb, and her mouth stayed open for a long time without making a sound.

Where are my clothes?!

It took a long time for Pan Yuyi to react. She hastily wrapped the quilt around her body which was only wearing underwear and looked at the room that did not resemble her own bedroom at all.

Where am I?

She only remembered fragments from before she started drinking. Like how she “coerced” Liu Yanbo to drink with her in Tianshui bar, and also the fight with Ji Ruyan.

After that, Pan Yuyi had absolutely no clue.

I couldn’t have lost my virginity, right?

Thinking of this, Pan Yuyi panicked, and hastily spread the quilt open to check. The sheets were white and spotless, it wasn’t at all red as she had imagined.

She twisted her lower body uneasily, but didn’t feel any pain that could come from the first time. She couldn’t help but let out a long sigh of relief.

‘Ding dong~’

The doorbell was still ringing nonstop. Pan Yuyi looked around, but she didn’t see her clothes, so she picked up a bath towel that was thrown on the bedhead and wrapped it around her body.

Walking up to the door, Pan Yuyi first looked through the peephole. When saw that it was a woman, she opened the door and asked, a bit angry: "Who are you?"

Wang Yingying raised the lunch box in her hands and smiled, as if she hadn't heard the obvious anger in Pan Yuyi's tone: "My name is Wang Yingying, I'm a staff member of Tianshui Bar. I’m here to bring you some hangover soup and breakfast. Officer Pan, may I come in?"

Although Pan Yuyi didn't have a good impression of Tianshui Bar, she wasn't the kind of person that would judge someone just based on where they work.

Besides, the biggest reason Tianshui bar gave her a bad impression was because of Ji Ruyan, the sister who was involved with the underworld. A small part of it was also because she just didn't like bars.

Her bad attitude just now was because she had just woken up with no clothes. It wasn't directed at Wang Yingying.

Not to mention, if someone came to deliver food with good intentions, how could she turn them away?

Pan Yuyi stepped aside and waited for Wang Yingying to walk in before asking, "Did you bring me here last night?"

“Nope. It was Brother Liu who carried you here." Wang Yingying walked into the room, put down her breakfast, then picked up the clothes that were hanging on the balcony and put them on the bed. “Officer Pan, last night you threw up all over your clothes, so I had to help you take them off to wash them, I hope you understand."

Hearing that it was Wang Yingying who undressed her, Pan Yuyi felt like a stone weighing in her heart had finally fallen to the ground. She thanked her, and then took the already dried clothes to the bathroom to wash up...

Breakfast was a bowl of dumplings and a bowl of hangover soup. Since she hadn't eaten dinner yesterday, Pan Yuyi was very hungry. So without any care for ladylikeness, she gobbled up the soup, which made Wang Yingying look at her dumbfoundedly.

Having eaten and drank, Pan Yuyi was in a much better mood. She asked, "Has Liu Yanbo been coming to your bar lately?"

She began to carefully think. Although on the outside she seemed to just be casually chatting, her ears were attentive like a cat, afraid she might miss a detail in Wang Yingying's answer.

She had no choice!

None of her tricks were effective towards Liu Yanbo, he was like an annoying fish who kept dodging the bait. Even if she had a net, he would find some kind of hole to escape from. Pan Yuyi could only try finding leads through the people around him.

It was a bit strange to say, but it seemed as if Pan Yuyi was determined that Liu Yanbo was the murderer, and she would continue to stubbornly suspect him without giving up.

Although Wang Yingying wasn’t very old, working in a bar like Tianshui had put her in contact with countless kinds of people.

The current rumors on the internet were close to pointing Liu Yanbo by name, and the hatred between Ji Ruyan and Jiu Ye was basically known to everyone.

With all these reasons added together, Wang Yingying could guess the intentions of officer in front of her. But she didn't intend to hide anything, as she didn’t know much anyway, she answered truthfully: "When our Xue was still working at the bar, Brother Liu used to come every day. But since Xue resigned, counting last night, Brother Liu has only come twice in total."

Pan Yuyi asked: "Then, when was the last time he came?"

Wang Yingying thought for a while and shook her head, "A week ago! I was on vacation at the time, so I'm not sure of the exact date. I only heard a colleague mention it."

"Did he come to see your boss both times?" Pan Yuyi asked again.

“He did last night." Wang Yingying continued, "As for the other time he came, I’m not too sure. After all, Brother Liu is quite popular in our bar. For example, one of the bartenders, Xiao Xu, always wants to ask Brother Liu to try his drinks."

Pan Yuyi had studied psychology and she could tell that Wang Yingying wasn’t hiding anything, and really didn't know much.

Pan Yuyi didn’t have any high expectations for this kind of investigation method, but since she was in a situation where she had absolutely no evidence, she figured struggling was better than doing nothing.

Still, she was a little disappointed, but that was to be expected. Pan Yuyi didn't do any further questioning in this regard, and was silent for a long while before asking, "Miss Wang, what kind of person do you think Liu Yanbo is?"

What kind of person was Liu Yanbo?

Liu Yanbo was a man who liked smiling, but to say he was a well tempered person? That doesn't seem right, after all, when he loses it, he becomes even worse than a demon. But to call him a villain for that? It still doesn't seem right, because most of the time he's nice to everyone.

This was a bit difficult for Wang Yingying.

Thanks to Lin Xue, Wang Yingying and Liu Yanbo could be considered be good friends, but they rarely talked just between them, let alone got to know each other well.

No matter how she thought of it, she couldn't think of a way to describe such a contradictory person, so Wang Yingying simply gave up and said, somewhat superficially: "I've known Brother Liu for less than a month, so I can't give you very specific details. The impression he gave me was that he was an ordinary citizen like me, who worked hard every day for a living and only cared about his loved ones. The only thing particularly diferent was probably that, among all the people I know, Brother Liu’s the one that cares the least about himself."

When she finished, Wang Yingying didn't give Pan Yuyi another chance to ask anything else, and asked her instead: "Officer Pan, why are you so concerned about Brother Liu?"

She asked something she already knew the answer of. It was clear she just wanted to change the subject.

But it's not Wang Yingying's fault. Firstly, she really didn't want to keep listening to Pan Yuyi's rambling questions; secondly, she also wanted to learn something out of Pan Yuyi.

Wang Yingying was actually curious as to whether Liu Yanbo had really killed Jiu Ye or not.

She wouldn't believe those rumors on the internet that don’t have the slightest evidence, but she had some doubts herself.

Liu Yanbo had once almost killed Zhang Xiaoyun, and in public too, so taking that into account and also the fact that he had a motive to kill Jiu Ye, it wouldn’t be too absurd to think he was the one that did it.

In a situation of no evidence, a police officer's words would be more credible than the rumors on the internet, right?

Of course, Wang Yingying also knew Pan Yuyi most likely wouldn’t answer her question directly, so she didn't have high expections.

As she expected, after Pan Yuyi looked out the window, she suddenly said: "What time is it now? Isn’t it almost time to check out?"

Wang Yingying lightly smiled and raised her hand to look at her watch: "It’s 11:20. Yes, it is."

Pan Yuyi got up, walked to the bedside and grabbed her phone: "Let's go then! We can talk while we walk."

‘Ding ding ding~’

As soon as Pan Yuyi switched her phone on, a call came in. She answered the phone and asked, "Xiao Zheng, what’s the matter?"

On the other end of the phone, Xiao Zheng excitedly shouted, "Captain, Lieutenant Zhou has caught the murderer who killed Huang Jiucheng!"

"What? Zhou Ming caught the killer?!" Pan Yuyi was bewildered, she knew very well Zhou Ming’s competence. In terms of solving crimes, Zhou Ming was an idiot. In the entire Haishi Police Force there probably wasn’t another person who was more amateuristic than him.

Pan Yuyi was in disbelief, but she still asked: "What kind of person is the murderer? Where did he catch him?"

Xiao Zheng replied: "The murderer was a taxi driver, and Lieutenant Zhou led his men to catch him at the taxi company."

A taxi driver?

Pan Yuyi's felt her heart drop, hurriedly asking: "Is that taxi driver’s name Liu Yanbo?"

"Eh? Captain, how did you know?" Xiao Zheng was a little confused. Before two seconds had passed, she suddenly asked with surprise again: "Captain, you must have great foresight?"

Foresight my a**!

Why didn't you tell me I was clairvoyant?

Pan Yuyi didn't bother to complain about the teasing operator in her team, and just hung up the phone and rushed to the police station.
