Qu Jingyun returned to the cell in a daze, and every step he took seemed to be walking in the clouds.
She was happy that Qi Guangyao kept his student status, but at the same time she regretted that she had not kept her composure and failed at the last moment. After thinking about it, she felt that the problem was still Qi Mingyuan's fault.
If he hadn't shown favoritism towards Qi Shengzhi in every way, how could she be unwilling to fight for the rights that she and Guangyao deserved?
If he had agreed to her request for help instead of scolding her when she asked him for help, how could she have gone all out to harm him?
In the final analysis, all of this is Qi Mingyuan's own fault!
It doesn't matter if he doesn't save her now, as long as he is willing to recognize Qi Guangyao as his son, when she is released from prison in the future, she will have her son as a backer and will not have to worry about having a good life in the second half of her life.
Besides, she is much younger than Qi Mingyuan. When Qi Mingyuan is outlasted, she and her son will still have a share of the Qi family's huge fortune!
Qu Jingyun was lost in thought, becoming more and more excited the more he thought, his expression gradually sinking into madness without him realizing it.
When the prisoners in the same cell saw her coming back from meeting someone, they were planning to search her as soon as they entered the cell to see if someone had sent her something good. However, they were frightened by her stupid and crazy look after she came back, and they didn't dare to do anything for a while.
The head of a cell observed Qu Jingyun for a while and thought she was pretending to be crazy, so he winked at several female prisoners next to him, and those people surrounded Qu Jingyun with a grin.
Qu Jingyun was just thinking about it when she suddenly felt the light in front of her eyes dim. When she looked up, she found that she had been surrounded by several other prisoners in the cell without knowing when. She was immediately frightened and her face turned pale. As if conditioned, she begged for mercy repeatedly:
"My dear sisters, I didn't do anything, I didn't ask the supervisor to do anything, please don't hit me!"
The cell boss stretched out two fingers and pinched Qu Jingyun's chin hard. The pain was so severe that she had to raise her chin to meet the height of her hand, but her eyes and eyebrows were still wrinkled in pain.
I only heard the cell boss sneer:
"Oh, I don't think you'd dare! If you know what's good for you, hand it over right away!"
Qu Jingyun closed his eyes in pain and shook his head repeatedly:
"Nothing, just came to bring me a message."
The cell boss didn't believe her at all and frowned:
"You came all the way to this faraway place just to say a few words? You're kidding me! You don't want to take it, right? Take off her clothes and search her!"
Seeing the hands of several female prisoners reaching out to her, Qu Jingyun screamed in panic:
"What are you doing?! Let me go! Ah——"
At this moment, the cell door was hit by a loud knocking sound of an iron rod hitting the door panel.
"What are you doing?! Are you trying to rebel?!"
The cell boss didn't expect that the detention center warden who had just left would come back so soon. He quickly waved his hand and asked everyone to run back to their beds and stand there, leaving Qu Jingyun, whose clothes were disheveled, standing alone in the middle of the cell with his arms around his chest.
The female supervisor came in and took a look at Qu Jingyun, then glanced at the others with a stern look and warned them sternly:
"You guys think the sentences you're currently carrying aren't severe enough, and you want to add a little more, right?!"
The cell boss took the lead and kept shaking his head. Although she was arrogant in front of other female prisoners, she didn't dare to even breathe in front of the female supervisor.
If a disturbance in the detention center is reported, the court will only impose a heavier punishment on the troublemaker. If you are not careful, you may even lose your life. No one dares to take the risk of their own life.
The female supervisor saw that everyone else had bowed their heads obediently, but Qu Jingyun was still standing there with her arms folded, looking flustered and motionless. She frowned stiffly and said,
"Number 047! Come out with me!"
The other female prisoners looked up in surprise. Qu Jingyun had just returned, so how could she go out again?!
This time, the cell boss was furious. According to the detention center regulations, each person was allowed one visit per month at most. So why was this woman surnamed Qu allowed to go out twice in one day?!
"Master Zhang, this is against the rules. Why can she go out twice in one day?!"
The female supervisor turned back impatiently, staring at the cell boss with hawk-like sharp eyes:
"The police interrogated No. 047 and discovered new information about her. If you discover new information, you can also be released every day! What other opinions do you have?!"
As soon as these words came out, the cell boss immediately admitted his mistake and apologized repeatedly:
"No problem! Supervisor Zhang, I'm just curious. I won't ask any more questions!"
Qu Jingyun's face suddenly turned pale. Did the police uncover new details in the case?!
She and Du Anping had done so many bad things together in the past twenty years that she had no idea which old incident had been dug up by the police. She was terrified and could only follow the prison guard out with heavy steps at his urging.
When she saw Gao Huanyu and Liu Jun who had been waiting in the interrogation room, her anxiety reached its peak.
Gao Huanyu pointed to the stool in front of the interrogation table and said in a calm tone:
"sit."
For some reason, Qu Jingyun felt a little scared when she saw the young policeman. She always felt that when his eyes stared at her, it was as if he could see through people's hearts, making her feel like she would be exposed at any time.
She didn't dare to move, but Liu Jun didn't have the same good temper as Gao Huanyu. He widened his eyes and scolded:
"I told you to sit down, didn't you hear me?!"
Qu Jingyun was frightened and quickly sat down opposite the two men obediently.
Gao Huanyu looked at the middle-aged woman in front of him who was not tall but very courageous. From her appearance, he really couldn't tell that she was someone who could do so many cruel and bad things. It was true that "you can't judge a book by its cover".
He calmly pushed the photo in his hand over, but his eyes were fixed on Qu Jingyun's reaction:
"Take a look, do you recognize the person in the photo?"
Qu Jingyun looked down and was almost scared to death at first sight - the person in the photo was Qiao Yulan, whose body was thrown away by her own hands!
The moment Qu Jingyun saw Qiao Yulan's photo, his mind exploded and everything went blank. His two hands hidden under the table clenched into fists, and he didn't even realize that his nails were digging deep into his flesh.
Liu Jun and Gao Huanyu looked at each other and slapped their hands on the table:
"I'm asking you a question! Tell me! Do you know him or not?!"
Qu Jingyun was so nervous that she almost pinched her palms to bleed. Fortunately, she regained a bit of rationality in the end. After all, Qiao Yulan was an old employee of the Ning City Art Troupe. Even if she wanted to distance herself from her, she couldn't say that she didn't know her. That would only expose her guilty conscience.
She swallowed hard and replied calmly:
"...I know her. She used to be an employee of the Ning City Art Troupe. Her name is...Qiao Yulan."
