Jiang Rong couldn't help but glare at Wang Dong beside him. He had really been ruined by this idiot!

However, it was also his own fault; he was in a hurry to finish the project and didn't properly read the testimonies in his statement.

"I'm telling you, whatever your motives, you'd better confess everything!"

Ma Yong remained silent, so Jiang Rong had no choice but to resort to extreme measures, threatening, "If you don't want to be arrested and interrogated by the Ministry of State Security, you'd better explain yourself clearly. Our police station still has regulations for law enforcement. Their little dark room over there is no joke."

"She...she really is the niece of the Minister of State Security?"

A crack appeared in the shield that Ma Yong had woven for himself, clearly indicating that this identity was like a dream to him.

"Do you think our whole institute is just messing around with you? You'd better really be a human trafficker, then we can shoot your mother and wife without any consequences. But if there's something else going on and they find out, then it won't be such a simple matter."

Ma Yong's confession was a mix of truth and falsehood. He said his family situation was true; he did have an elderly mother who was bedridden, a wife who needed medication to stay alive, and two children.

He can die, but if these people are implicated, then his death will have been in vain.

"I'll confess, I'll confess everything. But I'll take full responsibility for my actions. I don't think a high-ranking official like the minister would hold my family against me."

Ma Yong was like a deflated balloon; he never expected to get such an unlucky job.

"Just confess honestly. Wait a minute, I'll call the plaintiff down, and you can explain things to him properly!"

Jiang Rong would stop at nothing to keep his job and try to please Bai Jiaojiao.

Bai Jiaojiao was surprised to hear Jiang Rong's words: "Captain Jiang, isn't this against the rules?"

"There's nothing wrong with it. You should come and hear some things for yourself. There are some inside stories we might not know."

"The inside story?"

Bai Jiaojiao followed him into the interrogation room. Ma Yong glanced at Bai Jiaojiao and immediately lowered his head again.

Bai Jiaojiao said, "What do you want to confess? Tell me quickly."

“About two weeks ago, a woman came to me and asked me to kidnap you and take you anywhere I wanted. I don’t know how she found out about me and knew that my wife was in poor health. The money I made from kidnapping people was not enough to cover my expenses. This woman promised me a considerable sum of money, 500 yuan, and told me that she could help me contact a doctor to cure my wife’s illness.”

He was a kidnapper to begin with, and the crimes he committed were enough to warrant his death a hundred times over. From the moment he kidnapped his first person, Ma Yong knew that this day would come.

He accepted his fate with great calm, but his only concern was for his family, and his only wish was for them to be implicated because of him.

"Now that you've been arrested, you're still expected to keep this person's secret. Are you hoping she'll remember your kindness and help your wife get her illness treated?"

Bai Jiaojiao asked.

Ma Yong paused for a moment, then nodded.

"You're really stupid. You expect someone who would contact you to do something like this to keep their word? Besides, you didn't even do what she asked you to do."

Bai Jiaojiao's words were like a wake-up call.

Ma Yong clenched his fists so tightly that the sores on his palms ached: "I...I just want to earn some money. Why is it so hard for us ordinary people to live? You rich girls fight and bicker, but in the end, it's us who suffer. Why...why..."

Before Bai Jiaojiao could say anything, Jiang Rong snapped, "If you were law-abiding, you'd never step foot in this door in your entire life! Let me tell you, stop spouting nonsense. Continue telling me how that person contacted you, and who she is?"

“I don’t know her name or who she is. She’s about the same age as me,” Ma Yong said, looking at Bai Jiaojiao. “She should be someone you know. She’s the one who gave me the ether.”

When Ma Yong said that a girl had come to him, Bai Jiaojiao frantically searched her mind for that person. Given that she could get ether, the first place that came to her mind was the laboratory.

All the clues converged, and Chen Meizhen's name became etched in her mind.

"Even if you didn't cause me any real harm, I've read your confession and it shows you've committed numerous evils. You certainly won't escape punishment in the future. But now that you've confessed, you must be willing to help investigate this case thoroughly, right?"

Ma Yong remained silent, and Bai Jiaojiao continued, "I'm giving you another chance to contact her. You know what to do."

Thinking about what Jiang Rong had just said, Ma Yong pondered for a moment and then agreed, "I deserve whatever punishment I receive, but please, be magnanimous and don't involve my family."

Bai Jiaojiao glanced at Ma Yong and was immediately at a loss for words.

Fortunately, this person still had a shred of conscience towards his family, otherwise there really wouldn't have been any way to continue the investigation. But then again, if Ma Yong hadn't valued his family, he might have confessed everything as soon as he was arrested.

“Every wrong has its perpetrator and its debtor its culprit. If they haven’t done anything wrong, no one will do anything to them.”

With Bai Jiaojiao's promise, Ma Yong said, "She made an agreement with me that after I finished my business, I would write a note and stick it under a park bench. After she received the news, she would meet me at the time agreed on the note and arrange for me to see a doctor."

Bai Jiaojiao glanced at Jiang Rong, who immediately said, "I'll arrange for someone to contact this person right away!"
