"Not cooperating, huh? Put her on the electric chair, let her have a taste of being shocked. Just like last time when Sheng An came in, she got shocked once too..."
"Iâll talk, Iâll talk..." Hai Lan, being of a weaker disposition, shouted after hearing Group Leader Liuâs words: "It was my mom who gave it to me, I really donât know how it got there."
"Then why did you put it on Sheng An?"
"I donât know, I didnât do it on purpose..."
"You didnât do it on purpose, so did it grow legs and walk over there by itself?"
"Itâs possible... maybe I bumped into her and it accidentally fell there..."
"Youâre lying. At that time, you clearly saw the weapon and even accused Sheng An, saying she was a spy, using the weapon as the evidence. What you did was clearly premeditated." Group Leader Liu slapped the table and questioned sharply.
"Tell me the truth."
"I... I just thought she seemed like a spy."
"Stubborn as a mule." Having already determined she was involved, Group Leader Liu ordered her to be handcuffed.
Shao Yiping, listening from inside, burst out laughing, mocking Zhou Yuanâs stupidity. A daughter she raised from childhood, gave her a weapon for her safety in the Border Defense Group, and in the end, got bitten back.
Hai Lan betrayed her without any mental burden.
"Group Leader Liu, I never gave the gun to Zhou Yuan. Although we are friends, we never discuss weapons. Sheâs someone in a national unit, why would she need a weapon at work every day?"
"You lie." Hai Lan screamed out, "Youâre my momâs lover, youâre deliberately covering for her."
The interrogation room fell silent. When Hai Lan realized what sheâd said, it was all too late.
Itâs over! Really over!
She didnât mean to, she never thought she would say it.
In President Zhuâs office, the secretary hurriedly ran in, whispered a few words in his ear.
President Zhuâs expression turned quite remarkable, his gaze unintentionally swept to Zhou Yuan, immediately showing a trace of indiscernible contempt.
"Comrade Zhou Yuan, please cooperate with the investigation."
Zhou Yuan got up with a pale face; in reality, she was barely able to stand, but she still had to maintain the dignity of the Presidentâs wife.
"Alright, President Zhu."
"This way, please."
Not long after Zhou Yuan was taken away, Anâan had already returned after signing the papers.
"Sis, Iâm done."
"Is everything alright now?"
President Zhu rubbed his hands together politely and said, "Weâve already investigated, this matter has nothing to do with Anâan, she is innocent."
"Thatâs good." Sheng Ning finally felt a weight lifted off her heart. "By the way, what happened just now?"
"Ah?" President Zhu quickly shook his head, "Nothing, nothing at all..." Considering the Hai familyâs scandal, he wouldnât dare speak of it even if his life depended on it.
"So is this matter concluded?"
"The matter is not fully concluded, but it has nothing to do with Sheng An anymore. Iâll write a report shortly, it wonât affect Sheng Anâs schooling or work."
Xu Qigang nodded, "Xiao Ning, letâs go!"
"Mm!"
President Zhu watched the three leave, wiping the cold sweat from his forehead. He just wanted to find out the truth, not expecting to uncover that Chairman Hai had been cuckolded!
Looks like thereâs going to be trouble now.
No one expected that because of a gun, this centuryâs biggest scandal would erupt. It seems the Elder Mrs. Hai was right not to like Zhou Yuan, she indeed lacked virtue.
Outside, the elusive Renault whispered a few words into Xu Qigangâs ear and then silently left.
