Silly Bride

Chapter 198

up, Xavier blocked his way with a cold face.Xavier was much taller than Nate. He appeared to be superior as soon as he stood in front of Nate.Besides, Xavier exuded a powerful aura that made Nate suffocate.When Nate was about to fight back, Kevin immediately stopped him. “Nate, don’t forget what you are here for today! You brought Xavier and Winnie here to see this basement. Please bear in mind what you should do and don’t do anything unnecessary.”Winnie carefully searched the whole room without paying attention to what was happening outside.In addition to some liquid medicine and white powder, Winnie also found a rotten apple core and several cigarette butts in the trash can.She took some of the liquid medicine and white powder and packed up the apple core and two cigarette butts.After that, she walked toward the door.Nate glared at her. “What did you take? Give it back to me!”“Don’t you have any idea what I took? Those are the things that you want to give to Yolanda to use against Xavier.”Nate stared at Winnie. “Those are her things. Put them back!”Winnie smirked and could not be bothered with him.She turned to look at Xavier. “There are a lot of illegal drugs in it, and the lock is so easy to open. I think we should call the police. Otherwise, the consequences will be disastrous if these are spread out.”Xavier held her hand naturally. “Okay. We’ll do as you said.”Winnie continued, “I think we have to remind them to keep a low profile in order not to cause panic and alert others.”“Okay.” Xavier nodded, looking obedient.“What a simp.” Nate rolled his eyes.Xavier’s face immediately darkened when he heard that.However, with a wink from Winnie, his spirit was lifted again.He glanced at Nate and smiled faintly. “Too bad there’s no one for you to simp over.”Nate was so angry that he was unable to react.Soon, the officers from the Narcotics Enforcement Department arrived. In order to avoid causing an uproar in the residential area, they came in plain clothes.Winnie knew one of the officers. He was Christopher’s subordinate.She walked over to have a few words with him. “Officer Campbell, this is a big case. Why is Captain Bennett not here?”The officer was a timid young man. He immediately blushed when a beautiful woman like Winnie approached him.He scratched his head nervously and said, “You’re Ms. Garland, right? I saw your news on the internet. You’re really amazing. I didn’t expect you to know Captain Bennett. But I’m sorry. I can’t reveal his whereabouts.”Winnie nodded. “Sure, I understand. It’s just that I called him several times, but no one picked up. So I just thought of asking you. It doesn’t matter. I’ll get going first and let you guys take care of this.”After that, Winnie got into the car. However, they only left after the officers from the Narcotics Enforcement Department drove off.Xavier said, “We’ll go to the hospital right now. I have already contacted Josiah.”“Okay.” Winnie frowned. “This is a big case, but Christopher is not here. From what his subordinate said, I think he’s been assigned a secret mission. For some reason, I feel that this mission must be related to Yulissa.”Xavier looked ahead and calmly analyzed, “If the apple core and cigarette butts you brought back have Yulissa’s saliva on them, it means that Christopher has really been hiding Yulissa’s death. This also means that your intuition is correct.”What Xavier said really made sense. However, he was surprised to hear that Winnie was laughing.He frowned and tilted his head to glance at her.“What are you laughing at? Did I say anything wrong?”“No, what you said is absolutely right.” Winnie was still laughing.“Then why are you still laughing?” Xavier’s frown deepened.“Because I thought you would be jealous again for nothing and say something like ‘why are you thinking about another man when you’re with me?‘”“Are you teasing me right now?” Xavier took another glance at her.“Not really.” Winnie was amused. “I’m just telling the truth. You got jealous easily in the past. I’m just curious as to why you’re not jealous now.”Since the road was smooth, Xavier freed up one hand to hold Winnie’s hand. “Because you were not really mine in the past. You always thought of replacing me whenever you were unhappy. I was worried that you would be stolen by another man. But things are different now, Dumbo. I know that I’m important in your heart, and you’ll not leave me easily, so I won’t be as jealous as before because I believe our relationship is very stable now.”“Not bad! You’re pretty self-aware. That’s my man!” Winnie praised him.“Am I your man?”“Of course!”“Say it again. What am I to you?”“Are you deaf?”“I want to hear it again.”“Okay, I’ll say it again. You, Xavier Fairchild, are my man!”“Nice. I want to be your man till death do us part.”The car was filled with laughter. A journey of more than an hour felt as short as ten minutes for the two of them.When the two appeared in the hospital holding hands, Josiah was slightly surprised.He glanced at their hands that were intertwined and asked with a smile, “How is it? Has the case been solved? Did Yolanda tell you anything? You look really happy. It’s rare to see the two of you looking so happy at the same time.”Winnie frowned and said playfully, “Do I usually look cold? Do you think everyone is Xavier Fairchild?”Josiah laughed while adjusting his spectacles. “It seems that you’re in a really good mood today.” Then he looked at Xavier. “What is it so urgent that you want me to test?”“It’s all here.” Xavier handed Josiah a paper bag.He then explained to Josiah every item in the bag.Josiah frowned. “Why is it Nate again? What a coincidence that he knows Yolanda too! He’s really caused a lot of trouble.”Winnie shrugged and glanced at her watch. “How long do you need to get the result? Is one hour enough?”“That’s enough! By
