Chapter 34 “Speak.

For the first time, Pei Xingyao didn't answer her question right away, still dwelling on Zhong Shusui's matter. "Did that inspector just take your computer away?"

"It's the inspector," Du Wanwan corrected. "As for the computer issue, I've already said it; there are no company secrets in it. There was a problem with the surveillance footage, so the Xuanguan Bureau had to conduct a thorough inspection of the computer to confirm whether it was us who tampered with it, or whether it was a problem on the hotel's part. That's their job, and they're being quite polite by not arresting us as suspects. I guess they just saw me as a sickly person and didn't want to bully the weak."

The word "sickly" pierced his heart, and Pei Xingyao's tone became even more unhappy: "That inspector misunderstood you. I think he mistook you for a rich man like Song Yuhao."

"They caught me near the crime scene. I have an old grudge against Song Yuhao and Xiang Wanyi, and they sent people to follow them. Doesn't it look like a dog-eat-dog situation? If they don't question this behavior, I'll have to doubt whether they are doing their job seriously. Besides, there was a problem with the video recording, and you were there. I called the police immediately. Zhong Shusui has become an inspector, so it's impossible for him not to see that I was hiding something. Places like Jiangcheng are full of wealthy families who rely on their wealth to ignore their inspections and keep talking about 'taxpayers'. It's natural for him to be unhappy with me." Du Wanwan waved her hand. "The police are not wrong on this issue. There's no need to discuss it."

This is her truth.

Although they didn't actually do anything wrong, they did conceal something and were near the crime scene, making them suspects in every way. The police would suspect them and investigate them, which is reasonable, legal and compliant.

Pei Xingyao understood all of this. If someone else were his superior, he might even speak up for the police. But for some reason, that inspector gave him a very... very wary feeling.

But since Du Wanwan said so, he should be sober.

"Xiang Wanyi was very emotional and didn't say anything," Pei Xingyao reported expressionlessly. "When the police broke into the room, Song Yuhao had already fainted, and Deng Chengbin was terrified."

"Then Xiang Wanyi..."

"We got in just in time. Xiang Wanyi is fine." Pei Xingyao waited until Du Wanwan looked relieved before asking, "Miss, what should we do now?"

"What should we do? We've achieved our goal." Du Wanwan poured herself a cup of warm water, using the warmth from the rim to warm her fingertips. "Send a notice. Change the regular 9 o'clock meeting this morning to a meeting of the board of directors and all senior management. Song Yuhao has violated the law and is no longer fit to serve as a director. I'm revoking his directorship."

She said with a cold smile: "I really have to thank Ding Zhiyuan this time. Without his thoughtfulness, I would not have found an excuse to kick Song Yuhao out of the board of directors."

Pei Xingyao also said in a slightly cold tone: "It's a pity that we didn't film the conversation between Ding Zhiyuan and Song Yuhao, otherwise we could have sent him to the police station and put him in jail."

"Forget it. One day he'll fall into my hands. Even if we don't have evidence, the police and the inspectors are not pushovers. They'll definitely find something. I've always had great confidence in the police and the Xuanguan Bureau." Du Wanwan waved her hand and leaned back on the sofa. "I'm tired after all this time. Call me when you get home."

"Yes, Miss." Pei Xingyao responded respectfully, with a look of hesitation on her face. Finally, she turned her head and asked the driver softly, "What's the name of that inspector?"

"It's Inspector, Assistant Pei," the driver corrected quietly, "Zhong Shusui, First-Class Inspector."

Zhong Shusui... Pei Xingyao silently memorized the name, sat on the sofa opposite, and took the opportunity to use his mobile phone to secretly glance at the opposite side.

The car moved forward silently, and the conversation inside was transmitted to Zhong Shusui's car without any error.

"This Du Wanwan is different from those rich old men," Zhong Shusui's partner praised. "She's pretty but weak. Even though she seems to have a bad attitude, isn't it because she's young and inexperienced? She actually thought she could get away with it by pretending to be arrogant. Hahaha~ She's quite cute. Captain Zhong, don't bother with this little girl. Didn't you just keep silent? Wouldn't it be better to explain that this computer is important evidence and we have to inspect it before we can return it to her? Why do you have to keep such a cold face? No wonder you're still single at 30. You don't know how to be gentle with women."

Zhong Shusui said nothing.

He didn't mean to look at the little girl with a cold face. It was not like what she said. She appeared near the scene and sent people to follow Xiang Wanyi. Which inspector would not be suspicious of such behavior?

The one who has no doubts must be a rookie.

But his partner was right. He was indeed prejudiced. He didn't scare her to tears, which was brave of her. If it were any other child, the parents would probably call to complain.

However, Du Wanwan probably has no parents anymore. Her grandfather and mother are both dead, and her father has been sentenced to death and is awaiting approval for execution.

Thinking of this, Zhong Shusui felt like there was a lump in his heart.

I feel an indescribable discomfort.

He really bullies the weak.

But he absolutely couldn't say this in front of his partner, who had a broadcasting personality. Zhong Shusui kept his face stern. "Go keep an eye on Ding Zhiyuan, the one she mentioned. Don't let the clue get away. Hurry up and do it. We'll be busy in the next period of time."

At the command, those who needed to be arrested were arrested, and those who needed to be interrogated were interrogated.

Xiang Wanyi, the victim, gave a statement. Deng Chengbin was caught red-handed with a banned talisman. Song Yuhao was already terrified, so how could he withstand the interrogation? Within half an hour, both elderly men confessed to luring Xiang Wanyi to the hotel under the pretext of an audition, intending to rape her.

In order to mitigate his crime, Song Yuhao even took the initiative to provide evidence - the recording of his secret conversation with Ding Zhiyuan in the study.

That was what he intended to use to control Ding Zhiyuan.

With all the witnesses and evidence available, the inspection team wasted no time and headed straight to the house rented by Wanyi.

Meanwhile, Ding Zhiyuan was still at home sighing and lamenting the loss of Xiang Wanyi's virginity. He'd even bought a dozen beers, ready to perform a "forced, heartbroken, drinking to drown sorrows" scene for her when she returned. He was preparing his performance, ready to make Xiang Wanyi cry and fall into his arms, so he could enjoy it for himself.

But before he had finished half of the beer, there was a knock on the door, and it was not Xiang Wanyi who came in.

"Don't move!"

"Xuanguan Bureau Inspection!"

"Put your hands up and follow us!"

Within a few words, Ding Zhiyuan's hands were twisted. He was completely stunned, almost losing the ability to think, and could only instinctively shout, "No... Wait... I..."

He spoke incoherently, unable to make any sense, and the inspectors had no interest in listening to him. The evidence was irrefutable; take the man back first. If anything, he could explain it in the interrogation room.

It was not until he sat in the interrogation chair that Ding Zhiyuan came to his senses and suddenly realized who he should ask for help.

"System!" Ding Zhiyuan screamed in his heart. "System, please come out and help me! I'm the chosen Long Aotian! How can I go to jail? I can't go to jail! Please come out and help me! Tell me what to do!"

But with all the evidence, what can the system do? Can it change the law on the spot?

A deep sigh echoed in Ding Zhiyuan's mind, and a voice he had never heard before said, "Host No. 1 experiment failed."

What? Ding Zhiyuan was frightened and blurted out: "No!"

What failure? No... couldn't it be what he thought? No, no! Without the system, he was arrested again. What would he do with the rest of his life?

Ding Zhiyuan didn't care that he was in the interrogation room. He struggled and shouted, "Don't go! Don't go!"

"What are you shouting about?" the interrogating inspector slammed the table and shouted, "Quiet!"

Even without him saying anything, Ding Zhiyuan was already dumbfounded.

Because the person taking the notes was a female inspector, Ding Zhiyuan clearly saw the information provided by the harem system above her head when she first came in. But now, there was not a single word above her head.

The system information disappeared completely.

In an instant, Ding Zhiyuan seemed to have his spine pulled out, and he leaned limply on the interrogation chair like a deflated balloon.

He answered whatever the police asked.

There is no hope for the future.

Because his system... is gone.

At this time, it was only an hour since the patrol officers received the alarm and took action. Du Wanwan was taken back to the Du residence in a luxury RV.

Without anyone reminding her, Du Wanwan opened her eyes as soon as the car stopped.

She looked at Pei Xingyao quietly and coldly. Pei Xingyao's heart shuddered, and he tensed up instantly. He clenched his fists and followed her out of the car without saying a word.

The two walked through the door and the maid Tian Tian responded. The little girl's face was full of happy smiles: "Miss, are you and Assistant Pei back? The kitchen has made some sweet soup. Assistant Pei, would you like some? Miss, Doctor Yu said that tonight's medicinal food is also delicious. Would you like to serve you a bowl now? Or..."

Du Wanwan raised her hand to stop her from talking, and went upstairs to the study.

The talisman in the study sensed her and automatically turned on the light. Du Wanwan sat down in the rocking chair with a faint expression and tone, and even spoke only two words.

"Go ahead."

Pei Xingyao clenched his fists tighter.

The question in the car just now was just an act. They all guessed that the inspectors from the Xuanguan Bureau would not let them off so easily and would definitely monitor them. Mentioning Xiang Wanyi, even deliberately raising the issue of the inspector's attitude, was just to clear the inspectors' suspicions.

Perhaps, only his vigilance against Zhong Shusui was real.

What she wanted to know from him was not "Xiang Wanyi", but why he knew that the balcony windows of Heyu Hotel could be opened and why he could prepare the talisman in advance.

She needed an explanation before she could continue to trust him.

But...where should he start?
