The atmosphere in the interrogation room was a bit depressing.

The dim light sprinkled coldly in every corner, making the tense atmosphere in the room even more intense.

Li Lin turned around and stared quietly at Chu Yao who looked innocent, feeling disgusted!

Is she really innocent? She is just pretending to be innocent!

Who the hell makes money but doesn’t know how it was made?

Who does she think she is? She has no inside information, just sits at home and money falls from the sky?

She never thought about why others would give her Chu Yao two dollars for something that was worth one dollar?

She knew, she understood it all. If it weren't for the power held by her father, the vice governor, which fool would be willing to give her money for nothing?

Li Lin felt disgusted by her pretending to be innocent and felt extremely ashamed!

In Li Lin's eyes, her constant quibbling made her look like a trapped beast that was still struggling to death. She completely treated Li Lin as a fool.

Li Lin frowned. He was tired of Chu Yao's excuses and just felt annoyed.

He looked at Chu Yao coldly, his voice seemed to be wrapped in frost, "Okay, when the case officer comes in to question you, if you want to seek leniency, then cooperate well."

After saying that, he turned around and left. His movements were quick and decisive, without any hesitation.

The moment the door opened, Chu Yao asked with a hint of panic in her voice, "Li Lin, aren't you the one who interrogated me? And...can I really get the government's forgiveness?"

Li Lin paused, turned around slowly, and stared at her with eyes like a sharp blade, "Chu Yao, your case is already an ironclad case. Whether you cooperate or not will not affect the final outcome. If you have a correct attitude, I believe the Provincial Party Committee will handle it at its discretion. In addition, I am only an 'extra staff member' of the Discipline Inspection Commission and am not responsible for the trial. Director Qi will send someone else over."

When Chu Yao heard this, she lowered her head silently, her heart full of doubts.

What is a "non-staff member"? What does it mean to be not responsible for adjudicating cases? What is his role?

Why could he command the people of the Discipline Inspection Commission? All this was like a fog that enveloped her. The more mysterious it was, the more she believed in Li Lin's words.

At this moment, she knew in her heart that her father Chu Guoan had already confessed. Any resistance on her part would be futile, just like trying to catch a fallen leaf in the wind. It was meaningless.

Although she was unwilling to believe the result, as Li Lin said, it was an ironclad case and the result would not change because of her sophistry.

In order to seize the opportunity for lenient treatment, Chu Yao finally decided to confess everything to the organization.

When Li Lin came out of the interrogation room, Qu Junfeng and Tong Zhiyong hurried over to him like soldiers waiting for orders.

Before they could speak, Li Lin quickly ordered, "You two should get ready to continue interrogating Chu Yao. She has figured it out and will cooperate with your interrogation now."

"Oh?" When Qu Junfeng and Tong Zhiyong heard this, their eyes widened like bells, with surprise written all over their faces.

The two of them had tried their best and talked their mouths off, but they failed to get Chu Yao to give in.

Li Lin only talked to her alone for more than ten minutes, and he actually got it done?

This is simply like a fairy tale, too unbelievable, right?

Qu Junfeng was stunned for several seconds before he came to his senses. With a smile on his face, he said to Li Lin in a flattering manner, "Director Li, you are the one who has the solution. You convinced Chu Yao with just a few words. It's amazing! I admire you so much..."

Tong Zhiyong also followed suit and kept praising Li Lin for his godly moves.

But soon, Tong Zhiyong put away his smile and said with difficulty, "Director Li, Director Qi came just now and saw us outside the door and criticized us harshly. I hope you can help us explain to Director Qi, otherwise we will not be able to follow Director Qi anymore from now on."

Qu Junfeng seemed to have just remembered this matter. He slapped his forehead and said angrily, "Director Li, we don't want to cause you trouble. It's just that we did violate the rules of the trial just now... If you can say a good word for us to Director Qi, we will be very grateful to you!"

Li Lin smiled and comforted them, "Don't worry, I'll go find Director Qi now. You two can go to the case at ease. No matter what, you must collect Chu Yao's testimony today and hand her over to the Yanjing Discipline Inspection Commission as soon as possible."

"Yes, don't worry, we will go to handle the case right away."

As Qu Junfeng and Tong Zhiyong spoke, they nodded and smiled at Li Lin, then pushed open the door of the interrogation room and walked in.

In fact, the two did not have much confidence that Li Lin could really convince Chu Yao.

It’s just that Li Lin is a leader sent by the provincial government, and they kept flattering him for the sake of their face.

But deep down in their hearts, they all thought that Li Lin was just pretending!

Just imagine, how could Chu Yao, such a stubborn person, be suddenly convinced by him!

This is like a daydream, so unrealistic.

In their hearts, the two were full of disdain for Li Lin's words.

Qu Junfeng took Li Lin's place in the chief judge's seat, unfolded the file in his hand, and with a formal smile on his face, he asked, just like the previous interrogation, "Chu Yao, in view of these evidences and the charges against you, do you plead guilty?"

The two thought that Chu Yao would firmly say "not guilty" as she did before, and they had even prepared themselves for a protracted war.

However, Chu Yao's next answer was like a thunderclap, which shocked the two of them and was completely beyond their expectations.

Chu Yao opened her red lips and said calmly, "I plead guilty!"
