The Love that Never Really Dies (Sasha and Sebastian)
Chapter 1824

After hanging up, Susan stared blankly at the computer screen in front of her.

lan showed up a while later.

“You're here, lan.” Susan jumped to her feet and pointed at the footage. “Take a look at this. I'veconfirmed that something really was off about the way Zaylynn had her nails done. The woman whodid her nails just ran away.”

lan sat down while rubbing his temples.

In fact, he had gotten a few people to look into this matter. After the errand runners had arrived atthe university, they spotted two of Zaylynn's female friends—one of whom was Felicia—carrying thetwo buckets into campus.

After the girls passed a narrow path surrounded by trees, the errand runners then discovered sometraces of phosphate on one of the tree branches.

In other words, this was a planned murder.

“Let's wait for the cops here,” said lan after watching the footage. “They'll definitely replace out whatelse could be behind this. They're professionals.”

He spoke coldly and relentlessly.

Susan didn't oppose after replaceing out the truth, and so the two remained inside the nail salon,waiting for the police to arrive.

As anticipated, a team of police dressed in full uniform showed up ten minutes later.

The captain made his way over to Susan and lan right after spotting them.

"Good day. I'm Captain of the Crime Investigation Unit. Were you the ones who found a lead?”"Yes, officer.”

Susan stood up and related her experience here while referring to the surveillance footage.

The captain immediately began a search.

“And this is?"

“This is my nephew, Officer. He-"

“There's a narrow path with locust trees on both sides on the way to the female dorms on campus,officer,” lan suddenly chimed in. “If you take a look at the sixth tree on the left, you'll replace whatyou're looking for on one of its branches.”

Susan was completely dumbfounded. The young man had calmly relayed his thoughts instead oflooking apprehensive like he usually did when dealing with strangers

Is... he not afraid anymore?

Of course, the captain knew nothing about Ian's condition, so he gave the latter an approving paton the shoulder after being provided with such an important lead.

“I'll do that. What's your name?”

“Uh... You should get to searching right away, officer. Don't let anyone ruin your plans.”

Noticing the way Ian's brows twitched, Susan hastily changed the subject and pulled him over bythe arm.

The young man didn't like interacting with strangers, and he certainly didn't appreciate beingtouched by one either.

After lugging him toward her, Susan sighed with relief as she watched the captain leave with histeam.

“It's okay. You can change your clothes once we head back,” she said while rubbing Ian's shoulder.The young man said nothing.

He merely gave the woman's anxious-looking face a quick glance before shifting his gaze elsewherecoolly.

"Okay."

Eventually, Zaylynn was deemed innocent and thus released

As for the reason behind the incident, the police believed that Zaylynn had attracted too muchattention on campus, which ultimately led to some resentment toward her.

Still, the truth would remain a mystery until the culprit was apprehended.

Speaking of the culprit...

“I've received a text from the captain we met that day,” explained Susan while busying herself in thekitchen. “He said they've issued a nationwide arrest warrant against that woman from the nail salon.She's now wanted across the whole country, and they believe she won't be able to run away formuch longer.”

Both young men could hear her. Timothy was reading a fantasy novel while hogging the bathroom,whereas lan sat in the living room feeding a turtle they and recently bought as a pet.

lan had nothing to respond with after hearing his aunt's words.

An arrest warrant?

I guess I've overestimated them. Not every cop is as efficient as Uncle Devin is. A lot of them are justtrash.

Thinking that, the young man tossed two turtle pellets into the tank.

“You're feeding him again? You can't keep feeding the turtle, lan! He'll die if he overeats!”

A slim figure walked out of the kitchen just in time to see him feeding the turtle, and the womanswiftly grabbed his hand before scooping the pellets out of the tank.

lan silently glanced at Susan's slender hand before looking down, his thick lashes concealing thefluctuating emotions in his eyes.

Timothy walked out of the bathroom at this very moment. “Come on, Susan. It's just a turtle! Whyare you being so dramatic? You scared lan.”

“Huh?”

Susan quickly came to her senses

“Sorry, lan! I guess I overreacted. Don't panic, okay? I had no intention of blaming you for anything,”she apologized while letting go of the young man.

But in truth, how could lan ever be upset at her over something like this?q
