Chapter 648 Drawing the Fire from Under the Blade

If he hadn't protected Xiaowei, she might have ended up like Chen Wanru, suffering a fate worse than death at his hands.

He had told Bo Jinyan long ago that Xiao Wei was not the murderer, but he just wouldn't believe it.

This time they went even further, directly calling the police to arrest Xiaowei!

Chen Hui didn't expect Bo Jinyan to go back on his word like this: "Xiao Wei has nothing to do with this case. I told Young Master Bo this a long time ago. Why did Young Master Bo call the police to arrest Xiao Wei?"

“Just because she has close ties with the mastermind behind this case, she should be arrested and investigated.” Bo Jinyan still didn’t think Chen Wei was innocent at all: “Moreover, as a citizen, she should cooperate with the police investigation.”

"Just because Ms. Chen is your daughter, does that mean she can break the law and disregard her civic duties? Minister Chen, what you're doing is unfair to other citizens."

While the world is inherently unfair, shouldn't those who enforce the law be even more committed to upholding its impartiality?

If every police officer is like him, how can these people trust their credibility?

Upon hearing this, Chen Hui's face darkened, and his voice became somewhat exasperated: "It's because you went back on your word that I had no choice but to do this, Young Master Bo. I said I would definitely give you an explanation, so why couldn't you wait a little longer?"

They insisted on exposing this matter.

He even reported it to the police. Does he know how difficult it is for him, as the minister, to do this?

“Minister Chen, I have been waiting for you for a long time, but you have never given me an answer.” This is also the reason why Bo Jinyan made up his mind to use Chen Wei: “So I have no choice but to do this. You were the one who tried to cover up the truth first.”

If he hadn't tried to fool him time and time again, why would he have resorted to such a desperate measure?

Chen Hui was speechless for a long time before he finally found his voice: "Even so, you shouldn't have harmed my only daughter. You know perfectly well that she has done nothing wrong! She doesn't owe you anything!"

Even if he owes someone, it's him who owes Bo Jinyan.

It has nothing to do with Xiaowei.

Why should Xiaowei bear all the pain? She did nothing wrong!

"Is she really without any fault? You can ask her if you don't believe me."

Bo Jinyan's gaze fell on Chen Wei, who was buried in Chen Hui's arms, his eyes cold: "Let's see if she secretly helped Wen Qingyi escape? Did she threaten me to help Wen Qingyi?"

His two consecutive questions made Chen Wei freeze, and she didn't even dare to lift her head.

I wish I could find a hole in the ground and crawl into it.

That way she won't have to answer questions.

But Chen Hui slowly made her raise her head and asked her very seriously, "Xiao Wei, tell me honestly, is what Young Master Bo said true? Are you really secretly helping Wen Qingyi escape?"

If what Bo Jinyan said is true, then according to the legal definition, she is not entirely innocent.

He desperately wanted to hear a denial from her.

But what Chen Hui heard was: "Dad, I admit that I did these things, but Dad, the explosion at Sangruo Medical Clinic really has nothing to do with me. I didn't do any of this. You know that best, don't you?"

Everything she did was simply to help her aunt.

Who would have thought that a few simple acts of helping her would lead to her being taken away by the police for investigation?

She never expected that Bo Jinyan would call the police, forcing her to come out and prove her innocence.

This move, cutting off their supply lines at the root, is ruthless enough.

"Xiao Wei, you!" Chen Hui was so angry when he heard her admit it that he wanted to curse her, but he couldn't even bring himself to say it. In the end, he could only say, "How could you be so foolish? How could you think of helping Wen Qingyi? Don't you know what kind of woman that is?"

It's fine if I don't distance myself from her.

At least don't get involved in her and Chen Fangyue's scheme. She could have stayed out of it, but she was dragged into it by Wen Qingyi.

Bo Jinyan watched the two of them perform quietly: "Alright, Minister Chen, stop with the father-daughter act. I'm here for only one thing."

"What is it? Tell me."

"Are you willing to bring the real murderer to justice?" Bo Jinyan couldn't help but ask. "If you are not, I believe you and your daughter will soon be dragged down with you, and you will no longer be able to remain unscathed."

By saying that, he was already giving them a chance to reflect.

If they turn back at this point, it means there's still time; they can still maintain the same friendly relationship as before.

But if they are unwilling to turn back, then don't blame him for turning his back on them.

Chen Hui knew there was no escaping it this time. For his and Xiao Wei's sake, he still said, "I'm willing. Don't worry, I will definitely bring the real murderer to you and bring him to justice within three days."

Having received the answer he wanted, Bo Jinyan left the Chen family.

Upon hearing this, Chen Wei became anxious: "Dad, why did you agree to Bo Jinyan's request? Do you know how desperate Auntie will be by doing this? She has no family other than us. How can she bear it?"

despair?

"She's desperate? But who's considered how desperate I am?"

Chen Hui knew that this was Bo Jinyan giving him an ultimatum: "If I hadn't agreed to him just now, then Bo Jinyan would have become an enemy of our family. He would have gone to great lengths to find your aunt and then take revenge on our Chen family as well."

He agreed because he really had no other choice; whether it was a blessing or a curse, he couldn't escape it.

There will always be a day when we have to face it.

After leaving the Chen family, Bo Jinyan returned to the Anding Group.

Sang Ruo was picked up by Uncle Jiang and sat on the sofa in his office, casually eating sunflower seeds: "Ayan, did Minister Chen really agree to your request? He won't break his promise this time?"

"Of course not." Bo Jinyan assured her, "If he dares to fool me again this time, I think he should just give up his position as minister. He's getting senile, retirement is the only treatment he deserves."

A person who can't even distinguish right from wrong will only bring harm to others if they sit in this position.

It would be better to step down and hand over the reins to a more capable person sooner.

Hearing this, Sang Ruo was still a little uneasy: "Ayan, have you already guessed who's behind it all?"

"I have a rough guess, but whether it's right or wrong depends on Minister Chen's next move."

He also hoped that he was overthinking things, and that Chen Wei's actions were not a landmine.

He feared that after losing his grandson Bo Jinzhou, his father would also lose his daughter-in-law. How could the old man's body withstand such a series of blows?
