The Glamorous Comeback of the Ousted Heiress novel Chapter 237

Chapter 237: 088 Dominant Alian_3

She didn’t need Yan Lu to explain anything to her.

But she believed that the Zhang family, who would leave the most beautiful lily for Yang Lin every week, were trustworthy.

“I—,” Yan Lu’s fingers trembled violently, and the cigarette box instantly dropped to the ground.

She looked into the eyes of the girl in front of her, dark pupils like the vast night sky, seemingly able to accommodate everything—resolute and calm, with no questioning, no doubts, and not even an accusation.

Yan Lu felt like crying.

Bai Lian seemed to see through them all, and yet after that, she said something so light yet so incredibly heavy—

“I believe in you, and I believe in him as well, stand up.”

She was firmly choosing her side with Zhang Shize.

Trembling, Yan Lu covered her eyes with both hands, silently tilting her head back, and after a long while, she lowered her hands and spoke in a hoarse voice, “There’s a video, I don’t know who to give it to, I want to send it to you.”

She didn’t trust anyone, including the police.

After saying that, she paused for a long time.

She stood up, fished out sunglasses from her pocket, and put them on, covering her reddened eyes.

“Sister Xin, arrange for the shooting tomorrow morning,” she said as she walked out, her voice strong, “Hand me the script, and also, contact whoever can still be reached, inquire about news from Liu Xinming’s side…”

After the two had left.

Jiang Fulai came in from outside.

Bai Lian picked up the cigarette box that Yan Lu had left on the sofa, playing with it in one hand, her gaze lowered, in no rush, as she drew out a long, thin cigarette from the box.

With the cigarette loosely held between her fingertips, she bit it casually, and as she turned her head, she saw Jiang Fulai coming out of the courtyard.

The two exchanged glances for a moment.

Bai Lian:

“Ptui.”

She spat out the cigarette.

Police station.

Chief Chen came to check on Zhang Shize’s case, and the station chief was very surprised to know that he was looking into Zhang Shize, quickly leading him to the detention area, “He’s right here.”

Chief Chen peered through the small window in the iron door at Zhang Shize inside.

Zhang Shize lay on the only bed, motionless.

Chief Chen frowned, “Open the door.”

The door was opened.

Looking at Zhang Shize’s back, Chief Chen said, “Zhang Shize, Miss Bai asked me to come to see you.”

The other party still didn’t move.

There was no basic reaction whatsoever.

“Chief Chen, he’s been in this position for the past two days, hasn’t touched his meals,” the station chief quickly explained, “We didn’t do anything; this kid got beaten up by the victim himself. You didn’t see the bloody scene; it was a vicious attack, aiming to take a life, the methods were extremely cruel…”

If it were someone else, they would almost certainly believe this was PTSD.

But he didn’t think Zhang Shize would have it.

After all, when they received this report, they felt that this man was mentally abnormal, and a person with abnormal mentality torturing a victim wouldn’t have any aftermath effects.

Chief Chen’s brows were furrowed as he looked at Zhang Shize, “I understand; bring me the file to look at.”

His tone was somber.

He walked out, pulling out his mobile phone from his pocket, and sent this message to Bai Lian.

The person responsible for this case had already gone to fetch Zhang Shize’s file.

Back in his office, Chief Chen opened the file that was brought to him, read it from beginning to end, his frown deepening, “Is this all?”

“Yes,” the station chief replied cautiously.

In fact, the officers responsible for the courtroom and case investigation were all very puzzled.

Zhang Shize and Liu Xinming were completely parallel lines. Today, they had brought in Zhang Shize’s homeroom teacher and neighbors, and according to the investigation, Zhang Shize was a sunny, helpful big boy.

But Liu Xinming was also a kind, philanthropic businessman.

It remained a mystery why Zhang Shize had beaten the man to such a state, and he still refused to cooperate with the investigation.

The phone outside rang, and an officer answered it, his expression serious.

Two minutes later, he came in to report, “Chief Chen, our brothers at the hospital said that Liu Xinming’s resuscitation failed, and he died at 21:42.”
