In the interrogation room, Hai Lan felt an overwhelming sense of oppression as soon as she entered. Sitting to the side, she could vaguely see a person inside, but because she wasnāt in the center, it wasnāt very clear.
"Shao Yiping, open your eyes and see clearly, did you give the weapon to her?"
Upon hearing this, Hai Lan was instantly startled, truly feeling scared!
Shao Yiping looked at Hai Lan weakly, nodding, "Thatās right, I gave it to her."
"Hai Lan, what else can you say? The person who sold the weapons claimed you bought them. Now thereās evidence proving you secretly possess firearms. Coincidentally, you ran into Sheng An when the incident happened. This indicates you framed Sheng An intentionally."
Hai Lanās mind exploded with a bang, desperately rushing to the front. "No, Iām innocent. I have no idea how the weapon came about." She furiously pointed at Shao Yiping inside, "I have no grievance with you; why would you frame me?"
Shao Yiping looked at her coldly without speaking.
"If you want to die, go die yourself. Why drag me down? That was clearly..."
Before she could finish, Shao Yiping suddenly coughed loudly, a heart-wrenching cough.
Hai Lan naturally stopped speaking, craning her neck to look at Shao Yiping inside, startled by his disheveled face.
She had seen him before.
She recalled meeting him at Zhou Yuanās workplace, where Zhou Yuan said he was her former neighbor. Not just once; she had frequently bumped into him down the street from her momās house.
At the time, they even exchanged greetings!
He must have given the weapon to Zhou Yuan, right? Damn it, this clearly has nothing to do with her, so why frame her?
Or perhaps his relationship with Zhou Yuan is unusual, so to protect Zhou Yuan, heās willing to sacrifice her?
Humph! Adulterers are truly abhorrent to use her as a scapegoat.
"Speak, why arenāt you talking?"
Hai Lanās mind raced; compared to going to jail herself, she would unhesitatingly choose to let someone else take the fall.
"Itās not me. I donāt even know this person; how could I purchase weapons from him?" Hai Lan defended, "My previous whereabouts can be traced; I couldnāt possibly know him."
"Thatās wrong, you do know him. Weāve already investigated and confirmed; heās a friend of Zhou Yuan, and itās normal for you to know him through Zhou Yuan."
Inside, Shao Yiping watched Hai Lanās face change several times, his heart gradually growing cold.
Hai Lanās face went white, then she mocked the interrogator, "Do you believe this? Heās my momās friend, why would he sell weapons directly to me? It has nothing to do with me."
"How can it have nothing to do with you when it was found on Sheng An? Wasnāt it planted by you?"
"I donāt know... I donāt know..." She gritted her teeth, adamantly refusing to admit the gun was planted by her.
"Hai Lan, Iām warning you, donāt think that because youāre the daughter of the Double Festival President, we canāt do anything to you. At the union, even your father must cooperate with our investigation. If you keep up this arrogant attitude, donāt blame me for arresting you first." Group Leader Liu couldnāt stand Hai Lanās arrogance anymore.
"You dare!"
"Try me, see if I dare. Someone, arrest her for me."
The subordinates took Hai Lan without a word, binding her directly. No matter how she screamed in pain, Group Leader Liu remained silent, refusing to loosen his grip.
