Chapter 360 You can save yourself or abandon yourself
The cooked pear cake fell to the ground and broke into pieces.
He Sang's arm was strangled by him.
"Isn't this acting? You cried so pitifully backstage at the theater, and kept saying you were leaving the Third Brother and breaking up with him. Why didn't you act more realistically?" Liang Chihui poured all his strength into grabbing her wrist. "You're still entangled with me, working together from the inside and outside. You're ruthless towards me. You don't have any evidence, but you're determined to judge me as a bad person. Even if I am a bad person, have I ever been mean to you? Have I ever been stingy with you? My kindness and generosity can't win Mrs. Liang's mercy."
Liang Chihui's gaze remained on her face, gentle, yet distant, with a hint of hopelessness, resentment, and sadness, attacking her and soaking her without leaving a trace.
He Sang's heart suddenly contracted, as if a sharp pair of tweezers was clamping it fiercely, causing bleeding and festering.
She opened her mouth and uttered hoarsely, "I called Li Zhen... She's in confinement after giving birth, her family doesn't care about her, and Zeng Mingwei is busy with business overseas. I'm worried about her."
"Then what."
Liang Chihui clenched with brute force.
Half of He Sang's body was numb and he was about to lose consciousness. "She asked me where I was and when I would come to see her..."
"Mrs. Liang is still trying to deceive me."
Severe pain spread throughout his limbs and bones, and He Sang couldn't help but tremble and scream.
Her trembling awakened Liang Chihui's last bit of kindness and reason. He gripped her with less and less strength, until he let go completely.
The door slammed shut, and the rushing wind hurt her face. She leaned against the wall, motionless.
The nanny passed by and bumped into Liang Chihui, "Sir, would you like to have Western food tonight? There is a steak in the refrigerator that was airlifted in yesterday..."
Before she finished the second half of her sentence, Liang Chihui seemed to pass straight past her, and the sound of footsteps coming down the stairs echoed in the huge villa.
......
Police officers from the Nanjiao Suburban Police Station discovered Ni Hong's whereabouts in Zhongbei Town.
A township-level health center.
It is 26 kilometers away from the Nanjiao factory building. The health center has three doctors and five nurses in a three-story building.
Liang Jishen drove to Zhongbei Town and found Zhao Kai's car parked at the door.
Four officers from the district bureau were checking surveillance footage in the security room. The officer in the lead, the deputy district bureau chief, approached Zhao Kai and asked, "Chief Zhao, it's a female suspect, right?"
"I can't say he's a suspect. I'm just cooperating with the investigation." Zhao Kai shook hands with him and introduced Liang Jishen. "He's the deputy general manager of Zhonghai Group and used to be our colleague. He's the inspector of the municipal procuratorate. You've heard of him, right?"
"I've heard of it, more than anything." The man said politely, "I was transferred from the district prosecutor's office to the Zhongbei Town District Bureau. Inspector Liang is my old superior."
"Who are you?"
“Shen Changchun.”
Liang Jishen thought for a second, “Who is Shen Jilin to you?”
The man said, "My father died in 2012, just before his retirement, while apprehending smugglers at the provincial border."
Zhao Kai nodded. "Shen Jilin is a role model at the grassroots level. The first lesson for trainee police officers in Hebei Province is to learn from Shen Jilin."
Liang Jishen stood at attention and saluted. "Shen Jilin and I were seconded to the Yunnan-Yunnan border in 2011. We worked together for half a year. Later, I went to Thailand and he returned to Hebei Province. We haven't been in touch since then."
"My father often mentioned you in private." Shen Changchun smiled and saluted in return.
A young subordinate came out of the clinic and reported to Zhao Kai, "The surveillance is broken."
Zhao Kai frowned, "Man-made?"
"It's not human error, it's a wire failure."
Liang Jishen walked up the stairs without saying a word. He stopped while two of his subordinates were taking the nurse's statement. "Is Ni Hong in the ward?"
"There's no patient named Ni Hong in our clinic. The only female patient is Pei Li. She didn't have her ID with her. Her wound became inflamed and she's unconscious. Her brother arranged for her to be hospitalized. His ID card name is Pei Yong." The nurse gestured as she recalled, "She's 1.65 meters tall, quite sturdy, and has a dark complexion."
Zhao Kai showed a photo, "Is that him?"
The nurse identified it, "It's him!"
"A bodyguard of Yunhai Tower and a retired provincial weightlifter." Zhao Kai put away the photo and looked at Liang Jishen. "Liang Chihui has finally revealed his true colors."
"What's the flaw?" Liang Jishen also looked at him. "Even if it's proven that Pei Li is Ni Hong, one, she paid for it herself, so there's no insurance fraud involved; two, she didn't register, it was Pei Yong who registered, and Pei Yong is her real name; three, she didn't use prescription medication called Morphine Red, so there's no risk to public safety, and she's not breaking the law."
Zhao Kai leaned against the wall of the corridor. "She and Tong Da are on the run. Tong Da is a serious suspect in the murder of He Jinping."
"We're currently lacking evidence: physical evidence or a confession. We need one of these." Liang Jishen stood outside the door, smoking a cigarette. "Only by prying open Ni Hong's mouth can this ship capsize."
Zhao Kai also had a craving for cigarettes. He went out, closed the door, and took out a cigarette and lit it. "You have a sharp eye. Is the mastermind behind this your second brother?"
After a moment of silence, Liang Jishen exhaled a puff of smoke. "I believe he could have embezzled public funds, opened illegal factories abroad, and illegally monopolized projects. As for He Jinping's death, it doesn't seem like he did it. At best, he knew about it but didn't report it. He wasn't the mastermind."
"Who is that?" Zhao Kai was confused. "Your second brother had the opportunity to confess the truth and submit the evidence anonymously, but he chose to remain silent. Is it Uncle Liang?"
"Guanghe Group and Liang Group are tied together, and all the profits flow into underground banks. Liang Chihui has swallowed tens of billions. He can't deny his involvement and won't confess." Liang Ji took a deep breath of the cigarette in his hand, crushed the sole of his shoe, and went straight to the orthopedic ward on the 2nd floor.
Shortly after the ward was disinfected, a pungent smell was smelled. The conditions in the township health center were not as good as those in large hospitals in the city. The chandelier on the ceiling was an ordinary incandescent lamp, which was very dazzling. The curtains were also old and thick, and no light could penetrate.
Ni Hong's right leg was in a cast and her left leg was bandaged. She lay on the hospital bed in a miserable state.
The sound of the door being pushed open startled her and she opened her eyes.
Liang Jishen stood in the empty hallway, his thin grey vest stained with dust, which dripped down his shoulders. Such a handsome and bright man, yet so destitute and downtrodden, Ni Hong instantly understood. "You've been to the abandoned factory in the southern suburbs."
He didn't say anything, moved his chair and sat at the end of the bed.
The dim white light enveloped the area, making it dark and desolate.
"Do you hope it's Liang Chihui who comes?"
The moment Ni Hong opened her eyes, she clearly felt anticipation and light.
There was a vague outline of a man. The three sons of the Liang family were about the same height and thin. Liang Jishen was a little more burly, while Liang Jing and Liang Chihui were a little thinner. At first glance, it was normal to make a mistake.
Liang Jishen witnessed her journey from desire to disappointment.
Ni Hong knew very well that the short man and his group were acting on orders. Liang Chihui disagreed, so they did not dare to send her to the hospital without permission.
Since he knew that she was injured after jumping from the building, he might show up.
Even if they were torn apart by each other without caring about decency, they still had ten years of friendship.
Liang Chihui's ruthlessness extinguished the light in her eyes.
She turned away and didn't say anything either.
"You should know what will happen if you fall into my hands." Liang Jishen brushed off the mud on his trousers. "You can save yourself or abandon yourself. It's up to you."
