Chapter 51: Your Family Dynamics Are… Complicated

Mo Yan couldn’t help but notice that the Su Bao sitting in the interrogation chair now felt completely different from her usual self.

Normally, Su Bao was quiet and slow-moving, like a little turtle. While she seemed a bit aloof, her presence wasn’t particularly cold—just somewhat out of place in a crowd.

But now…

She seemed sharper.

More cheerful.

Yet also more unsettling.

She wore a faint smile, but her aura radiated indifference, as if everyone around her were mere toys for her amusement.

When Su Bao’s gaze swept over Fu Lang and Mo Yan, Mo Yan could distinctly feel a strange sense of provocation in her eyes when they landed on him.

Mo Yan: …

He had a strong feeling that Su Bao was itching to stir up trouble.

“Big Lang Lang, you’re here! Come over,” Su Bao said, waving at Fu Lang as if she were teasing a pet.

Fu Lang was on the verge of tears.

Big Lang Lang? What the hell was that?

Was this Su Bao’s affectionate nickname for him?

Why did it feel oddly similar to how she referred to Da Hei?

Despite his inner turmoil and the blow to his “Capital Playboy” reputation, Fu Lang obediently walked over and helped Su Bao up from her chair.

For the first time in his life, Fu Lang held a girl’s hand without a single inappropriate thought. Instead, he felt like a eunuch from a historical drama…

Su Bao’s leisurely demeanor was downright regal, like a little princess.

She completely overshadowed him!

Since there was no direct evidence of murder or a clear motive, Su Bao was allowed to be bailed out.

However, before they left the station, the middle-aged officer couldn’t resist giving Fu Lang a lecture.

“She’s still young and needs proper guidance to develop the right values. As an adult, you should know better. Take some time to teach her properly!”

Fu Lang: “I… I’m just her brother!”

I’m not her damn parent! *Flips table* (╯‵□′)╯︵┻━┻

The officer’s expression grew even more concerned. “Ah, so your parents had her later in life. No wonder there’s such a big age gap. They say an older brother is like a father. While you still can, help guide her and correct her values!”

Fu Lang: … (╯°Д°)╯(┻━┻ Flips another table!!!)

What the hell do you mean, “older brother is like a father”?!

What do you mean, “parents had her later in life”?!

I’m just sleep-deprived because of this ghost situation! I’m only about ten years older than her, not twenty!

Fu Lang’s face twitched as he pointed at Mo Yan. “I’m not her older brother. He is.”

If I’m going down, I’m taking my good brother with me.

But Mo Yan, unfazed, simply took a step to the side and said, “I’m just her foster brother. It’s not my place to interfere in your family matters.”

The officer: “…”

This family dynamic seems… complicated. No wonder such an adorable little girl ended up with such a peculiar personality.

Fu Lang: “…”

Damn it, Mo Yan! You win this round!

One sentence, and you’ve thrown me under the bus!

Once they were out of the station, Fu Lang lowered his voice and cautiously asked Su Bao, “Little Bao, be honest with me—did you kill him?”

If she did, he needed to start making arrangements to cover it up.

Now outside the police station, Su Bao’s eerie aura faded, and she returned to her usual stoic self.

In her mind, she pulled out her little black book and added Fu Lang’s name to it.

Reason: Idiot.

Did he even need to ask? Of course it wasn’t her!
