Chapter 389 Interrogation
Xu Qingsui also hesitated because she was not sure whether Huo Xilin could clear out that Yan Xisui was the mastermind behind Lu Jingyu.
Judging from their last conversation, he was still kind and tolerant towards Yan Xisui, and he had no intention of really pursuing the matter no matter what Yan Xisui did.
Even if Lu Jingyu was imprisoned, as long as Yan Xisui was still at large, the people around her would not be safe.
However, now that she has broken off relations with Lu Jingyu, even if she hadn't called the police, Lu Jingyu would have held this account against her. Letting him go now would only bring about his revenge.
It is better to deal with Lu Jingyu first and then find a way to guard against Yan Xisui than to deal with two people.
After figuring out the seriousness of the matter, Xu Qingsui told the police everything Lu Jingyu had done.
"Xu Qingsui!" Lu Jingyu was anxious and afraid, and yelled at Xu Qingsui.
The police knocked on the table and warned Lu Jingyu: "Be quiet! What do you think this place is? Who do you want to threaten?"
"Is what the victim just said true?" the police asked Lu Jingyu.
Naturally, Lu Jingyu would never admit it, and he defended himself by saying, "She gave me all this money voluntarily. There is no extortion!"
“Whether it was voluntary or extortion, it doesn’t matter if you don’t admit it. Everything depends on evidence.” Soon, the police retrieved the surveillance video from the museum’s underground parking lot and clicked the play button in front of several people.
In the video, it was the first time that Lu Jingyu approached Xu Qingsui. He covered her mouth and nose and dragged her to a blind spot where the surveillance camera was not visible.
Although Huo Xilin had seen this video before, he was still nervous when he saw it again. He clenched his fists and burst into murderous intent. When he looked at Lu Jingyu, he wished he could cut him into pieces.
Lu Jingyu still wanted to explain himself, but the moment he saw the video, his face turned pale, especially when he felt Huo Xilin's murderous intent, his eyes were full of fear.
Afterwards, the police played the video of Lu Jingyu taking the money bag from the trash can, as well as the video of him stalking Xu Qingsui over the past few days.
"Can you explain your actions?" the police asked Lu Jingyu seriously.
Lu Jingyu hesitated and wanted to explain himself, but Huo Xilin said in a deep voice: "Master Lu, please think about it before answering. As far as I know, Master Lu owes a lot of gambling debts, right?"
Lu Jingyu was trembling with fear. When he heard Huo Xilin's voice, he suddenly remembered the woman who asked him for debt yesterday. That group of people had a way of dealing with people. They would not let him die, but they could make him live a life worse than death. If he was really released, what would happen to him? He couldn't imagine it.
Perhaps, going to jail is the best outcome for him.
"I..." Lu Jingyu lowered his head in anger. Under the pressure of Huo Xilin's powerful aura, he said resignedly, "I did blackmail him."
Xu Qingsui was quite surprised that Lu Jingyu would admit his crime so easily.
All the way out of the police station, she always felt that things were not simple.
"Lu Jingyu's arrest was a trap set by you, right?" She finally couldn't help it and asked Huo Xilin.
Huo Xilin was driving the car, turned around and smiled at Xu Qingsui, and said, "Guess."
His attitude says it all.
"You know the owner of the casino. You asked the casino owner to set up Lu Jingyu to go there and lose money. After he lost the money, you forced him to pay it back in a short time. He had no choice but to find me again. Once I gave him the money, you called the police immediately. With the witnesses and evidence, he couldn't refute it at all. You took this opportunity to pull out the radish and bring out the mud. Together with the money from the previous times, the amount is huge, enough for him to spend the rest of his life in jail."
Xu Qingsui became more and more excited as she spoke. While she was getting anxious like an ant on a hot pan, not knowing how to deal with the matter of Lu Jingyu, Huo Xilin had already quietly made plans.
This man was far more terrifying than she knew. Once he wanted to deal with someone, that person would die without even knowing how.
"Smart!" Huo Xilin couldn't help but praise Xu Qingsui.
"What else do you know?" Xu Qingsui asked, "Do you know the accomplice behind Lu Jingyu?"
"It's Yan Xisui. I promised you that as long as she takes any action, I will never let her off." Huo Xilin said to her.
"Since you already knew these things, why didn't you tell me?" Xu Qingsui looked at Huo Xilin seriously. The more she interacted with him, the less she felt she understood him.
There seemed to be many, many mysteries about him, and no matter how hard she tried to find the answers, it was useless.
Of course, why would he deny that they had known each other since childhood.
He knew everything about her, so he must have known that she knew they were childhood sweethearts. Even so, he still pretended to know nothing.
Was it the fact that they had known each other since childhood that he wanted to hide, or was it something else that he wanted to hide?
The answer seemed to be about to come out, but at this critical moment, the most important clue was cut off. Xu Qingsui was anxious and didn't know what to do.
Now, only Huo Xilin could give her an answer, but obviously, he wouldn't.
Facing Xu Qingsui's question, Huo Xilin said: "I have been waiting for you to tell me, but you didn't. You would rather ask Qin Fang for help than ask me for help."
At this point, Huo Xilin showed a hint of disappointment on his face: "I feel that you don't trust me, which makes me very sad."
"Is it really just me who doesn't trust you? What about you? Have you ever trusted me?" Xu Qingsui asked.
"Like, what do you mean?"
"We knew each other when we were kids, right?"
The car suddenly stopped by the roadside. Inertia made Xu Qingsui lean forward. Huo Xilin immediately stretched out his hand to block her forehead: "Why are you asking about this again? Didn't I answer you? When I was a child, my parents had contacts with your grandparents, so I have seen you, but you don't know me."
"Really?" Xu Qingsui looked at him in a daze. Even after all this, he still wanted to deceive her. Why?
Huo Xilin's face showed a trace of panic. Looking at Xu Qingsui's gradually disappointed eyes, he smiled bitterly and asked, "You...know everything."
He wasn't questioning her, his tone was certain.
With a silent sigh, he finally chose to admit: "Yes, we have known each other since we were young. We are childhood sweethearts and grew up together."
"Why did you lie to me?" Xu Qingsui was not as happy as expected, but very sad: "I asked you many times."
