Yu Mengzhi was very surprised.
Why did Old Master suddenly change his attitude and want to send Yu Shenxing to prison?
No!
Her intuition told her that Yu Lingxiao was unlikely to do such a thing.
The reason for calling the police was probably for some other reason, but Yu Mengzhi hadn't figured out the intention yet.
Wang Xinrong turned pale with fright upon hearing about calling the police.
He didn't know if Yu Shenxing would be alright, but he knew that if the police were called, he would definitely be sentenced to death. Thus, Wang Xinrong hurriedly knelt before Yu Lingxiao, hoping Yu Lingxiao would show mercy.
"Get away! This is not your place to speak," Shen Liangping kicked Wang Xinrong away.
The police quickly arrived at the scene.
Wang Xinrong was so scared that he lost control of his bowels and bladder, yelling at Yu Shenxing and threatening to inform the police of Yu Shenxing's criminal acts if the Yu family didn't save him.
Chen Jinzhao pricked up his ears, hoping to hear some explosive news, but Wang Xinrong had already been taken away.
As for Sister Hong and others, they were also taken back to investigate the situation.
Chen Jinzhao saw the newly appointed captain of the criminal investigation team and couldn't help but be stunned. He had initially thought Zhao Defeng would take this position, but he didn't expect a young woman to come instead.
This woman still had a childish look and was clearly only in her early twenties.
It was obvious she got the position through connections. Chen Jinzhao had no choice but to ask, "Where is Old Zhao?"
The young female police officer glanced at Chen Jinzhao and frowned, "Are you referring to Big Brother Zhao Defeng? He has been transferred to the provincial level. I am in charge of the criminal investigation detachment now. You can tell me if you have anything."
"However, for now..."
"You and Yu Shenxing both have to come back with me for investigation."
"Please."
The female officer took out her badge and placed it in front of Chen Jinzhao.
Chen Jinzhao glanced at the female officer's name – Tao Qiyue. Tao Qiyue ignored Chen Jinzhao's subtle expression, turned to Yu Shenxing and said the same thing, then said to Yu Lingxiao, "Grandpa Yu, Yu Shenxing is involved in this matter. I need to take him back for investigation now, what do you think..."
"Handle it as it should be handled, and absolutely do not show any mercy," Yu Lingxiao said.
Alright!
So they were family.
Chen Jinzhao couldn't help but sneer. The Yu family's influence was deeper and more far-reaching than he had imagined.
Tao Qiyue nodded and ordered someone to send Yu Shenxing to the hospital first.
Yu Mengzhi called out to Tao Qiyue, but before she could say anything, Yu Lingxiao coughed a few times, reminding Yu Mengzhi to be mindful of her demeanor. Tao Qiyue seemed to know what Yu Mengzhi wanted to say, and calmly stated, "Please rest assured, I will investigate this matter fairly and justly. I will not wrong any good person, nor will I let any bad person go."
"Chen Jinzhao, you will come with us."
Tao Qiyue spoke to everyone with such equanimity, as if devoid of any emotion.
Chen Jinzhao obediently followed Tao Qiyue into the police car, leaving the rest of the work to the other investigators. Yu Mengzhi, not wanting to be with Yu Lingxiao, was about to leave when Yu Lingxiao suddenly called out to her.
"Come here."
"I think we need to have a talk."
Yu Mengzhi paused, forced to return before the old man, but she kept her head down, clenching her hands, and never meeting Yu Lingxiao's eyes.
Not far away.
Shen Liangping saw this and tactfully walked away.
"Mengzhi, there's something I have to discuss with you openly, and then I need you to tell me your decision." Yu Lingxiao's tone was cold, giving Yu Mengzhi a strange sense of unfamiliarity.
Not far away.
Shen Liangping could not hear the content of their conversation, but he could see them arguing heatedly.
He was taken aback. He hadn't seen such an angry old man in a long time.
The argument lasted for more than ten minutes, finally ending with Yu Mengzhi turning away in anger. Shen Liangping, seeing this, hurried with a heart-relief pill to Yu Lingxiao.
Yu Lingxiao slammed his cane hard on the ground, "My family's misfortune, my family's misfortune!!!"
"Master, please calm down." Shen Liangping poured out a pill for Yu Lingxiao to take.
He also said, "Miss is just being stubborn for now. Maybe she'll come around in a few days?"
The anger in Yu Lingxiao's chest eased slightly, "I hope so..."
"As for Shenxing, keep a close eye on him."
"Yu family descendants cannot go to jail, do you understand what I mean?"
Shen Liangping immediately nodded.
At that time.
Chen Jinzhao was brought back to the Ninghai Bureau interrogation room again.
He felt he had some kind of connection with this place, having been here twice in just a few days.
However, the person interrogating him this time had changed from Zhao Defeng to the Tao Qiyue in front of him.
"Officer Tao, this is what happened," Chen Jinzhao said.
Tao Qiyue frowned, "According to you, Yu Shenxing had a gun at the time? But our people searched the entire villa inside and out, and found no gun you mentioned."
Chen Jinzhao looked deeply at Tao Qiyue, wondering if she was in league with the Yu family.
Tao Qiyue sensed Chen Jinzhao's gaze and immediately felt displeased. She said with a stern face, "Don't look at me like that. Although I know the old master of the Yu family, I will not shield anyone."
"Then it's simple, the gun was taken by Shen Liangping. You should have searched Yu Lingxiao and the others at the time, but it's been so long now, and they've already left the scene?" Chen Jinzhao said with a hint of amusement. This couldn't help but make him suspect Tao Qiyue's relationship with the Yu family. Tao Qiyue's expression changed slightly upon hearing Chen Jinzhao's words, "Are you saying that Old Master Yu is covering for Yu Shenxing?"
"This is impossible!"
Before Chen Jinzhao could answer, Tao Qiyue denied the possibility.
She had a good relationship with Yu Lingxiao since childhood, and her grandfather was also a good friend of Yu Lingxiao. She even thought Yu Lingxiao was a selfless person.
Chen Jinzhao felt deeply disappointed in Tao Qiyue.
It seemed she was just a pretty face, a pretty face who got in through connections, useless except for her good looks.
"Forget it."
"There's no point in talking to you further. I'll wait for you to convict me," Chen Jinzhao said, then leaned back in his chair and closed his eyes to rest.
Tao Qiyue didn't know where Chen Jinzhao's confidence came from, and said angrily, "I know what you're thinking. You probably think I got in through the back door, and that I'm neither brave nor capable of handling cases, right?"
Chen Jinzhao remained silent with his eyes closed.
Tao Qiyue said again, "I will apply for a search warrant right now and turn the Yu family upside down!"
"You honestly wait for me. If anyone else comes to interrogate you, tell them that no one is allowed to contact you without my permission, and everything must wait until I return."
Leaving these words, Tao Qiyue got up and left the interrogation room.
Chen Jinzhao opened his eyes, his brows furrowed.
When Tao Qiyue said these words, her tone was not at all insincere. He could tell that she genuinely wanted to handle every case well.
Could he have misunderstood her?
