It was two o'clock in the morning, and the entire city was shrouded in night. However, the brightly lit skyscrapers still could not mask the dazzling brilliance of this metropolis.
Inside an interrogation room at the Huadu Police Station.
"What's your name?"
"Wan Yunting!"
"How old?"
"26!"
"Gender?"
Niu Qiuling and Luo Wenhui were in charge of the interrogation.
"Can't you tell?"
Wan Yunting, sitting opposite them, wore a smile.
Niu Qiuling raised her eyebrows, her eyes cold. "Gender!"
"Male."
"Tell us, why did you beat up Shen Ziqiang and Shen Junjie?" Luo Wenhui interrupted Niu Qiuling, looking directly at Wan Yunting.
"Captain Luo, you should already know, shouldn't you?" Wan Yunting asked him back with a smile.
Niu Qiuling raised an eyebrow, glanced at Luo Wenhui beside her, and then turned back to Wan Yunting, knocking on the table. "We're asking you, answer quickly."
Wan Yunting shifted his gaze to Niu Qiuling and smiled, "Don't you guys investigate?"
"Bang!"
Luo Wenhui angrily slammed the table and stood up. "Wan Yunting, you'd better behave yourself. Do you know what trouble you caused tonight? Shen Ziqiang has gone insane!"
"Is that so?"
Wan Yunting's expression was calm. He spread his hands and smiled, "It's good that he's crazy. If I weren't afraid of going to jail, I would have killed him myself."
Luo Wenhui slammed the table again, pointing at him furiously. "You're the one who drove him insane! This crime alone is enough to put you in jail for several years!"
Wan Yunting feigned a look of shock. "Captain Luo, don't try to scare me. I was very careful when I acted before, I didn't hit his head, so his madness has nothing to do with me!"
In fact, Shen Ziqiang's mental breakdown was indeed his doing!
However, Wan Yunting had acted with great meticulousness, as he did not want to expose his relationship with Jiang Wenhao too early. That was why he had driven out Shen Ziqiang's company's Vice General Manager He Sheng and others at the time.
The purpose was to avoid alerting the enemy, so as not to startle Chen Tao!
Faced with Wan Yunting's current oily and uncooperative demeanor, Luo Wenhui waved his hand. "First, tell us, did you order people to make overseas mysterious organizations invest a large amount of funds to attack the stock of Ziqiang Financial Group?"
Wan Yunting chuckled and pointed to his own nose. "Captain Luo, you think too highly of me. I'm just a rapist who just got out of prison. How could I know any overseas mysterious organizations or invest a large amount of funds to attack the stock of Ziqiang Financial Group?"
"If I had that much money, would I be sitting here talking to you?"
Luo Wenhui frowned. He didn't really believe it either.
After all, to bankrupt a second-rate group company in just half an hour, even the richest man, Kang Hongwen, couldn't do it.
But this coincidence was too much!
After all, Wan Yunting had trespassed into Ziqiang Financial Group at night, and Shen Ziqiang's overseas investment projects' stocks were attacked by mysterious overseas traders. It was difficult not to link the two.
"Alright, you guys can investigate these matters yourselves."
Wan Yunting glanced at the time on his watch. It was almost time. He leaned back in his chair, adopting a nonchalant attitude.
"Bang!"
Unable to stand his provocative attitude, Luo Wenhui angrily slammed the table and stood up, startling Niu Qiuling beside him.
"Wan Yunting, don't refuse a toast only to drink a forfeit. Do you really think I can't handle you?" Luo Wenhui pointed at him furiously.
Wan Yunting smiled indifferently. He was doing it on purpose!
Luo Wenhui, furious, picked up a police baton next to him, intending to strike him. Niu Qiuling quickly pulled him back. "Captain Luo, don't be impulsive..."
"Let go."
Luo Wenhui shook off Niu Qiuling's hand. "I'll take responsibility for all the consequences!"
"Heh, beating people is against discipline for you police officers," Wan Yunting said with a perfectly composed smile.
Luo Wenhui glared back at him. "It seems that in these past few years in prison, you've not only learned to fight but also learned to abide by the law."
Wan Yunting smiled. "What can I do? We're ex-convicts. If we don't learn more law in there, how can we overturn my case from back then!"
"You still want to overturn the case."
Luo Wenhui's eyes widened, and Niu Qiuling frowned beside him.
Now, she somewhat knew that there were some hidden details about Wan Yunting's past rape case!
"I seem to recall you are Chen Tao's brother-in-law!" Wan Yunting then said with a sly smile.
"Shut up!"
Instantly provoked, Luo Wenhui waved the police baton in his hand and unhesitatingly struck at Wan Yunting, intending to stop him from saying more.
"Bang!"
The door of the interrogation room was kicked open, startling Niu Qiuling.
Immediately, he saw a man of medium build with a square face and imposing demeanor walk in. It was Director Pang Yuan of the police station.
At the same time, Ma Zhendong also walked in. Seeing Luo Wenhui's raised police baton about to strike Wan Yunting, Director Pang angrily shouted, "Luo Wenhui, what are you doing? Put down your police baton at once!"
Luo Wenhui, who had recovered, quickly put down the baton. "Director Pang, why are you here?"
Pang Yuan snorted at him and went straight up. "Xiao Wan, are you alright?"
"Director Pang, I'm fine." Wan Yunting shook his head and smiled at Director Pang Yuan.
Luo Wenhui, standing beside them, was stunned. He couldn't believe that Pang Yuan, the head of the Huadu Police Station, was so polite to Wan Yunting.
"Hurry up and get the key to unlock Xiao Wan's handcuffs," Pang Yuan called out, turning to them.
Niu Qiuling reacted and took out the key to unlock Wan Yunting's handcuffs. She was confused now, not knowing what was going on.
"I know about everything."
Pang Yuan patted Wan Yunting's shoulder. "Xiao Wan, you go back first. Leave the rest to me to handle."
"Okay, thank you for your trouble, Director Pang. I'll visit you another day." Wan Yunting nodded.
"Yes, and please check on my wife's health again." Pang Yuan smiled.
Wan Yunting nodded and smiled. "No problem."
"Director Pang, this..."
"What? Do you have something else to say?"
Pang Yuan turned and glared at Luo Wenhui, snorting, "You should be cooperating with the industrial and commercial criminal investigation department to investigate Ziqiang Financial Group's illegal financing projects overseas, instead of interrogating an unrelated person here, understand!"
Luo Wenhui was shocked, completely unaware of the relationship between Director Pang and Wan Yunting.
"Yunting, let's go."
Ma Zhendong nodded to Pang Yuan and then took Wan Yunting out of the interrogation room and directly towards the exit of the police station, preparing to drive him home.
Just then, they saw his eldest sister, Wan Manyu, running in from outside in a hurry. Wan Yunting, who was coming out, saw her. "Sister, why are you here?"
"Third brother, are you alright?"
Wan Manyu quickly went over, looking at Wan Yunting with worried eyes. "I heard that the chairman of Ziqiang Financial Group went insane, and you were arrested by the police. I rushed over immediately."
"Sister, he went crazy on his own." Wan Yunting saw her worry.
"That's good..."
Wan Manyu's hanging heart finally relaxed. She had heard the news earlier and thought Wan Yunting had beaten Shen Ziqiang insane to get justice for his second brother.
At this moment, Lin Xiaoqi walked over with a middle-aged man. Upon seeing Wan Yunting standing at the entrance of the police station hall, she was immediately surprised. "Mr. Wan, weren't you arrested?"
"Who are you?"
Wan Yunting looked at Lin Xiaoqi doubtfully. The middle-aged man beside her, however, saw Ma Zhendong and politely smiled. "Warden Ma, you're here too."
"Lawyer Chi, why are you here?"
Ma Zhendong naturally recognized the famous gold-medal lawyer Chi Heng in Huadu.
"I was invited by CEO Fang overnight to be Wan Yunting's lawyer." Chi Heng looked at Wan Yunting and smiled. "You must be Wan Yunting, right?"
"Indeed." Wan Yunting nodded and asked doubtfully, "CEO Fang, is it the president of Fang Corporation?"
Chi Heng nodded. Lin Xiaoqi beside him looked strange, not knowing why Wan Yunting had been released.
However, Wan Yunting was surprised. He hadn't expected Fang Yanxi to hire a lawyer to help him.
Ma Zhendong briefly explained his release. Chi Heng nodded. "If that's the case, then I'll take my leave."
Lin Xiaoqi nodded to Wan Yunting and then left with Lawyer Chi Heng. After getting into the car, she immediately called Fang Yanxi. "CEO Fang, Mr. Wan has been released."
"Yes, please thank Lawyer Chi for me." Fang Yanxi, who was at home and hadn't slept, said from her bed.
Lin Xiaoqi said, "CEO Fang, it wasn't Lawyer Chi who helped Mr. Wan. It was because we rushed over, and he was released."
"Oh." Fang Yanxi raised her eyebrows, her heart filled with doubt.
She had received news earlier that Wan Yunting had broken into Ziqiang Financial Group alone, and Shen Ziqiang had gone insane in the end. Fang Yanxi thought Wan Yunting had done it, so she contacted Chi Heng to help him.
"We'll talk about it tomorrow. You go back first."
Fang Yanxi hung up the phone and leaned against the headboard, somewhat unable to understand how Wan Yunting could get out of the police station after such an incident!
"What? Wan Yunting has been released?"
Chen Tao was standing outside the operating room in the hospital. Shen Junjie had already been sent in for surgery.
Shen Ziqiang was in the adjacent ward and had been diagnosed with mental derangement.
"How is that possible?"
Chen Tao, frowning at the phone call from Luo Wenhui, said, "Even if Shen Ziqiang wasn't driven insane by him, he still beat Shen Junjie so badly that he should be jailed, right?"
Luo Wenhui, currently in his office and having just been severely reprimanded by Director Pang, said helplessly, "It's not that I wanted to release him, but Director Pang ordered his release. What could I do!"
"Director Pang?" Chen Tao was shocked and couldn't believe it.
Luo Wenhui then recounted the entire incident to him, finally saying, "In short, this Wan Yunting is no ordinary person. Not only does he have a good relationship with Ma Zhendong, but even Director Pang is very polite to him."
"Damn it, how did that kid get to know Director Pang?"
Chen Tao's eyes were sinister and wide open. He was shaken. He couldn't understand how someone who had been imprisoned for seven years not only had a good relationship with Warden Ma Zhendong but now even the head of the Huadu Police Station, Pang Yuan, was intervening to help him. It was simply unbelievable.
Was this still the Wan Yunting he knew!
"Also, that guy wants to overturn his case!"
Luo Wenhui frowned and said, "He must have come prepared. So, you need to be careful and make sure there are no leaks in the matters from back then, understand?"
"I understand. That's all for now."
Chen Tao responded, hung up the phone, and sat aside, frowning.
From what happened tonight at Ziqiang Financial Group, his perception of Wan Yunting had been completely refreshed!
Especially the mysterious overseas organization that attacked Ziqiang Financial Group tonight, which was willing to burn tens of billions just to bring down Shen Ziqiang, was truly terrifying.
Initially, Chen Tao intended to use Shen Ziqiang and his son to test Wan Yunting, to see if he would use the influence of the richest man, Kang Hongwen, to suppress the Shen father and son.
However, tonight's events had far exceeded his expectations!
If the overseas mysterious organization that brought down Shen Ziqiang had nothing to do with Wan Yunting, then Chen Tao would have only considered him a fool who only knew how to solve problems with violence.
But now, judging from all the signs, it seemed inextricably linked to Wan Yunting!
Therefore, this was Chen Tao's biggest concern!
"Just who else of importance does that guy know?"
Chen Tao's sinister eyes beneath his gold-rimmed glasses narrowed as he began to re-evaluate Wan Yunting...
