Li Qiongan was in so much pain that it pushed all the fear out of him. He struggled with all his might and said, “I-I didn’t do anything to Sze Lingyun! I want to marry her! I’ve already given her family her betrothal gift. Why would I try to kill her? It wasn’t me! It wasn’t me!”
“It seems like you weren’t the one who wanted to kill Sze Lingyun, but your son. But the money he used was taken from your Rongxing Company’s books, so even if this matter has nothing to do with you, your subordinate, Hu Jie, just said that you’re Rongxing’s boss. You have the final say in whatever goes on at your company. So you might be involved in this attempted murder case. And even if you have nothing to do with it, you’re still responsible for the inadequate supervision that led to this. That can’t be ignored. So, dear Mr. Li, you’d better make a trip down to the police station! Or… can a yearly deposit of 10 million get you a good lawyer?”
Nangong Nuannuan did not speak too slowly or quickly. She was full of smiles, but her words were extremely harsh and akin to a slap across the face.
“No! This has nothing to do with me! I don’t want to marry Sze Lingyun! I don’t want the money either! Let me go! Let me go! I have a serious heart condition. I’ll die if I go to the police station! I want to apply for medical exemption!”
Wu Pingting was speechless, “You haven’t even been arrested yet and you already want to apply for medical exemption? Why are you so reckless? If you’re in such poor health, why didn’t you go to the hospital earlier? Instead, you traveled to the outskirts of the city to chase a pretty girl. Are you planning to make her a widow?”
Amidst his cries of surprise, his pleas for mercy, and Wu Pingting’s taunting, Li Qiongan was dragged to the car by a few policemen.
However, even after he was taken away, the leading police officer did not leave.
“Sir, is there anything else we can do for you?”
Chi Yang glanced at Mrs. Sze, Mr. Sze, and the room full of selfish and brainless people in front of him. Everyone in the room could not help but shiver.
Mrs. Sze was bold. She raised her neck and said, “Sze Lingyun is my daughter. How could I hire a murderer to kill her? You can look into how much money our family has! Anyway, there’s no way I could ever kill my daughter. Even if I hated her, our family doesn’t have the money! Even if you’re the police, you can’t arrest someone for no reason, right?”
“Yeah! We’re the victims here. My sister only wanted to find a husband for her daughter. We introduced Mr. Li to Yunyun because we wanted her to have a better and brighter future. How is it illegal to introduce her to a man?” Sze Lingyun’s aunt spoke with fear and trepidation.
Nangong Nuannuan looked at the room full of people and smiled slightly. She then looked at Sze Lingyun and asked, “Senior Sister, did you get the things? If you didn’t, you can go and get them now.”
Sze Lingyun nodded. “I’ve got them.”
“All of them?”
Sze Lingyun nodded. “Yes, including my aunt and my two cousins.”
“That’s good.”
As soon as Nangong Nuannuan finished speaking, Chi Yang looked at the leading policeman and said, “Take all these people away.”
“Yes, sir!” The policeman saluted him without another word. Then, he ordered the policemen beside him, “You guys, take them out.”
“Yes!”
The Sze family and the Hu family were all left stunned.
Sze Junyan, who usually abused his power to bully people, was so scared that his legs turned to jelly when he heard that the police were going to take them all away. He sat down on the ground and did not even dare to breathe.
