Sang Li asked, "What happened?"
"Last night, Chen Jin tried to fish information from me. You told me to follow his lead and investigate the project, and I didn’t expect it’s actually the project that Second Madam is involved in. What does this mean?"
Zhou Zhao was somewhat confused.
Sang Li’s expression became serious: "It means that Third Young Master already knew there were issues with the project, and intentionally had Zhou Zhao probe through you to see if I knew."
"And then?"
"Then..."
Sang Li’s words were not finished when Zhou Zhao’s phone rang again.
He stared at the screen and said word by word, "Ten minutes ago, a mysterious person took over the project."
Sang Li thought of something, his eyes narrowing: "Gong Chen, that madman."
Zhou Zhao was startled: "Third Young Master? Then what should we do?"
"You find someone to keep an eye on the woman surnamed Yang." Sang Li glanced at Aunt Yang, "She has hidden a lot of things."
"Hmm."
...
Interrogation room.
The police asked Lin Zhiyi and Gong Shiyan all about the matter twice.
They answered all the questions truthfully.
Not clear, don’t know.
Indeed, they did not deceive the police, because they really had not met Jiang Fen.
Even though Lin Zhiyi mentioned meeting to understand the situation, Liu He also said Jiang Fen would not be available for another two days.
Obviously, Jiang Fen was afraid of being exposed, so she deliberately delayed.
But why would she turn herself in?
"Just like that?" The police clearly didn’t believe it, reminding them, "You two, I know you have unusual statuses, but this time involves a large sum, besides the money from those people outside, Liu He and Jiang Fen have amassed over a hundred million, and Jiang Fen has already confessed with solid evidence, there is no point in hiding things."
Hearing the words ’over a hundred million’, Lin Zhiyi’s heart trembled.
Just as she was about to defend Liu He, Gong Shiyan pressed down her hand.
"We father and daughter have already said all we know. Whether we lied or not, I believe you will find out."
He threw the issue back.
After listening, the police knew they couldn’t get anything more out of Gong Shiyan and confirmed the testimony indicating them to sign.
Gong Shiyan signed calmly, and counter-asked, "When can I see my wife? My lawyer has prepared all the documents."
This was clearly well-prepared.
The police stood up and said, "Follow me."
After signing, Lin Zhiyi followed Gong Shiyan out of the interrogation room.
On the way to see Liu He, she whispered, "Uncle, why didn’t you let me explain earlier?"
"Unknown full picture, extra words are futile."
Gong Shiyan’s gaze suddenly turned cold, completely different from the usually gentle and soft man.
It was even somewhat terrifying.
Lin Zhiyi glanced at him, and for a moment, his demeanor was somewhat similar to Gong Chen.
Regaining her composure, the police opened a door for them.
"Give you ten minutes."
"Hmm."
Gong Shiyan stepped in.
Liu He, who was slumped on the chair, seeing the person coming in, immediately got up and shakily rushed into his arms.
"I thought you wouldn’t care about me."
"Not possible." Gong Shiyan’s expression lost its coldness, speaking soothingly.
"I really didn’t lie, I already told Jiang Fen to quit, but who knew she would suddenly confess and even claim that I was the mastermind. I didn’t know anything," Liu He cried.
Hearing this, Lin Zhiyi quickly stepped forward and closed the door.
"Mom, what about Aunt Yang and their money?"
"I don’t remember exactly, but... I remember that the day before our unexpected meeting, someone was setting off fireworks at Huai De Road Garden," Liu He recalled.
Lin Zhiyi’s breath hitched, it was after Sang Li proposed to her.
In an instant, she finally understood why the whole situation was tailored like a trap specifically for Liu He.
Because it was also aimed at her.
Gong Shiyan noticed the changes in Lin Zhiyi, and asked, "Zhiyi, what’s wrong?"
Lin Zhiyi glanced at Liu He’s spiritless eyes, not wanting to scare her further, and immediately shook her head: "Nothing."
At that moment, the police opened the door.
"Time is up, please leave."
Liu He grabbed Lin Zhiyi and Gong Shiyan’s hands, somewhat scared.
Gong Shiyan smiled faintly: "Don’t be afraid, I will get you out soon."
Lin Zhiyi also comforted her: "Mom, trust us."
Meanwhile, she exchanged a meaningful glance with Liu He.
They were mother and daughter, with a lot of unspoken understanding between them. freēwebnovel.com
Liu He understood the look in Lin Zhiyi’s eyes, realizing that the situation was extraordinary.
She immediately nodded: "I’ll wait for you guys."
Walking out of the room.
Gong Shiyan turned and looked at Lin Zhiyi, his voice low: "What have you figured out?"
"The night Huai De Road had fireworks, it was exactly when Mr. Sang proposed to me, my mom invested for me. Uncle, what do you think?" Lin Zhiyi did not dare to say more.
"I know." Gong Shiyan looked at Lin Zhiyi worriedly, continuing, "Zhiyi, you should stay by Mr. Sang’s side for now."
Obviously, this matter was directed at Liu He and Lin Zhiyi.
Lin Zhiyi did not speak.
As the two walked toward the hall, they happened to pass by a room where someone was sitting desolately.
Lin Zhiyi stopped in her tracks, stepping back two steps to peek inside.
