A woman with hair shorter than Lu Youyou's, barely reaching her ears, opened the small door and invited Lu Youyou to come in and sit down.
Lu Youyou felt quite nervous; her anxiety was evident on her face, and even her footsteps were hesitant, pausing several times before she finally took a seat. This display eased the mind of Mo Meilin, who was responsible for questioning Lu Youyou. She felt relieved, thinking that with Lu Youyou's demeanor, it wouldn't take much time or effort to get to the bottom of things.
It seemed that not every high school student was as exaggerated as Xu Lie, whom the Special Investigation Team was currently pursuing; that was merely an exception.
As the audience could see the footage, the camera shifted, and Lu Youyou was brought back to the Special Investigation Team. In the Drama World, the Special Investigation Team had actually spent nearly a day on this case.
First, they reviewed more detailed information about Lu Youyou—her recent whereabouts, social networks, interpersonal relationships, and browsing history on her phone and computer. Next, they conducted field visits to her school and classmates' homes, even questioning Lin Yuanliang about Lu Youyou.
After gathering sufficient information, they finally went to Lu Youyou's home. They had also dispatched capable agents to discreetly monitor her movements, ensuring she wouldn’t slip out of the Special Investigation Team’s sight like Xu Lie did.
Several members of the Special Investigation Team visited Lu Ba and Lu Ma to inform them that they needed to invite Lu Youyou back for a few questions. The pale expressions on her parents' faces made Lu Youyou too afraid to meet their gaze. She finally understood why Xu Lie had looked at her strangely when she suggested he hide at her house; it was as if he were looking at a fool.
Lu Youyou truly realized how much trouble such actions could bring to her family. The thought of her parents' bloodless faces made her heart tremble uncontrollably. Fortunately, the members of the Special Investigation Team were friendly and polite; they merely wanted to invite Lu Youyou back for cooperation in their investigation. There were absolutely no other issues at hand, and nothing would be recorded in a way that would affect her future. After some persuasion, they managed to reassure Lu Ba and Lu Ma.
In the small break room, with a table and two chairs feeling somewhat cramped, Mo Meilin had to step out to fetch water before bringing it back for Lu Youyou. However, a camera on the ceiling was already focused on Lu Youyou, with audio devices operating normally for Zhang Yutao and other members of the Special Investigation Team to observe during the questioning.
Mo Meilin pretended to tuck a strand of hair behind her ear while subtly adjusting her earpiece. Once Zhang Yutao responded, she formally asked, "Lu Youyou, would you like some tea? Please don't worry; we just hope you can cooperate and answer a few simple questions. There's no need to be so tense."
"Th-thank you," Lu Youyou stammered despite Mo Meilin's reassurances; she remained anxious. Even those two simple words came out with noticeable pauses in her tone. Unlike Xu Lie's calm demeanor, how could she not feel nervous facing the Special Investigation Team?
She had always believed that if one did not do anything wrong, there was no reason to fear being questioned in the middle of the night. If Lu Youyou hadn’t done anything bad, she wouldn’t feel guilty now.
She had done something wrong! Keeping secrets for Xu Lie, arson, and explosions, and in the end, even thinking about hiding Xu Lie at home—how could she not feel guilty?
Her guilt made her hands and feet icy cold! Fortunately, after taking a sip of hot tea, a bit of warmth spread through her limbs, alleviating the chill and allowing her to regain some semblance of rationality.
Seeing that Lu Youyou was in a better state, Mo Meilin finally spoke up: "Could you tell us how you met Xu Lie?"
They were here for Xu Lie, so she needed to stay calm. Deep down, Lu Youyou encouraged herself, recalling Xu Lie's instructions to first say she didn’t know and then lie later.
But how could she claim she didn’t know how she met Xu Lie?
