CHAPTER 890: CHAPTER 890: OF COURSE YOU HAVE TO BEG ME TO GO BACK (3)

Daybreak was approaching.

Then, a terrifying news burst over Xiao Shuju’s head like a thunderclap.

"Are you Kang Yueting’s aunt?" A police officer suddenly walked out from the precinct and said to her.

Xiao Shuju stood up, answered, "Yes." After a night of waiting, she was already very exhausted and lacked the energy to argue with anyone.

The officers noticed she had almost put away her previously fierce attitude, raised their eyebrows curiously, wondering if she had already heard the news, and said, "Her mom isn’t able to come, you know that, right?"

"Her mom isn’t able to come?" Xiao Shuju was stunned; she hadn’t received any notification from Xiao Shulan, "Did her mom speak to you on the phone?"

The officer shook his head, "No."

"Then what are you saying—"

"Last night, a murder case occurred in the city. The suspect is now believed to have a mental illness and has been sent to a psychiatric hospital."

"You, you, you—what are you saying, comrade!" Xiao Shuju was so shocked that her tongue tied up, stuttering, unable to speak clearly.

Because of this, the officer almost wondered if she had issues like Xiao Shulan, scrutinizing her closely for a moment.

With just the officer’s gaze, Xiao Shuju suddenly understood everything. In that moment, her knees gave way, and she fell directly onto the ground, the pain bringing tears to her eyes.

Seeing her like this, the police officer didn’t have more to say, only waiting for her to figure out the next steps before coming in for further explanation.

As a result, after waiting for a long time, Xiao Shuju didn’t turn back to enter the precinct to request to see Kang Yueting or Xiao Shulan. Xiao Shuju, feeling the pain in her hip, stood up and immediately left the place.

So it appears even the detectives akin to Sherlock Holmes couldn’t quite understand this character of the Xiao family’s third child.

Xiao Shuju was entirely unlike the eldest, Xiao Shumei, or the second, Xiao Shulan, the type who could truly bear such burdens. It should be said, she couldn’t even maintain the calmness of her younger sister Xiao Shuzhu when faced with unexpected situations.

Impetuous and reckless, so she was previously called brainless by Lin Jiale who took advantage of her.

My god! Now Xiao Shuju’s mind was filled with: even this lifeline, Xiao Shulan, had crumbled. Now, for her to hold everything up alone, how could she possibly manage?

She simply couldn’t handle it!

What to do?

Her father was recuperating, Xiao Grandma was recuperating, the eldest and the brother were not here, and the second sister was now in trouble. Even the youngest had gone abroad. She was left alone, abandoned, and had no one to rely on.

No one even to talk to!

Ha? Ha!

With a slap on the wall by the roadside, Xiao Shuju bent over, gasping, unsure whether to laugh or cry.

Originally, with Xiao Shulan’s downfall, the president position at Changda naturally belonged to her. But she had long lost any interest in it. She fundamentally did not want it.

Besides, if she did take it, it meant she had to bear all the responsibilities. Mother of God, this strenuous and thankless task, could she take it? She didn’t have the same ambition and determination as Xiao Shulan. Besides, seeing Xiao Shulan only sat in this position for two days and ended up like this, it was enough to show this position was really not pleasing.

If Xiao Shulan could end up like this, then if Xiao Shuju were greedy for this thing, wouldn’t she be done for in less than two hours?

No, no, no, she absolutely could not walk the same path as Xiao Shulan. This frightening and complicated president position, whoever wants it can take it! What Xiao Shuju had to do was simple, quickly find another lifeline to hold on to.
