Chapter 302 Liang Yizhi gripped her arm tightly.
Night was just beginning to fall.
Zhou Wenyuan drove home.
Just as he turned into the last secluded intersection before the community parking lot, a black sedan that had been following him suddenly accelerated and slammed into the rear of his car.
Zhou Wenyuan's head hit the steering wheel, and he felt dizzy.
Before he could react, a man jumped out of the black sedan and came to his window.
"Deputy Director Zhou, please come with us."
The other party was clearly after his life, intending to take him somewhere else and kill him.
Alarm bells rang in Zhou Wenyuan's mind. Just as the other party was about to forcibly open his car door, the man was kicked away by the flying figure.
Jiang Ran opened the car door and said urgently to the person inside, "If you want to live, come with me!"
He knew she was Liang Yizhi's woman because he had seen her that morning.
Liang Yizhi has such a good reputation in the industry that Zhou Wenyuan jumped out of the car almost without hesitation and followed Jiang Ran to a car parked across the road in front.
Seeing the two get into the back seat, Ji Ying immediately started the accelerator, and her Ling Shi LX7 shot off like an arrow.
However, the black sedan caught up with them and relentlessly pursued them.
A desperate chase unfolds on the streets as the city lights begin to twinkle.
Ji Ying gripped the steering wheel tightly, weaving through traffic with the car's excellent performance, while the other driver, with his superb driving skills, kept trying to force her car to stop.
Ji Ying's goal was to drive the car into the police station.
As she approached a wide intersection, the other driver seemed to have sensed her intentions and, without hesitation, floored the accelerator, ramming into her from the side and rear.
But at this critical moment, a huge black shadow, accompanied by an invisible roar, rushed up from the middle of the road.
With a loud "boom," the other car was easily pried up and overturned like a toy, even sparking as it slid across the ground.
The Knight XV only shook violently before coming to a steady stop in front of Ji Ying's car.
Liang Yizhi got out of the car.
He wore only a dark gray shirt and no tie. The night wind ruffled his hair, making it slightly messy, but it couldn't dispel his imposing aura.
The car, which had overturned and slid a distance on the ground, came to a stop, and it took a while for two people to climb out.
Even when they saw that Liang Yizhi was alone, the two of them didn't dare to go forward and ran away as if their lives depended on it.
Jiang Ran got out of the Ling Shi LX7 and asked, "Aren't we going to chase after them?"
Liang Yizhi withdrew his gaze. "If they don't complete the mission, they'll suffer when we get back. Why should I lift a finger?"
Knowing who the dog owner is, there's no need to chase after them.
Jiang Ran thought his words made sense.
Liang Yizhi walked to Ji Ying's car window, his voice devoid of emotion.
"Will you come with me?"
Ji Ying unbuckled her seatbelt and nodded.
Liang Yizhi turned to Jiang Ran and said, "You drive."
Zhou Wenyuan, sitting in the back seat, became anxious. "Mr. Liang, I... I want to leave too."
“Of course you have a place to go,” Liang Yizhi said coldly.
Upon hearing this, Zhou Wenyuan deflated like a punctured balloon.
Ji Ying got out of the driver's seat, and Liang Yizhi held her hand, noticing that her hands were ice cold.
As the man led her into the Knight XV carriage, he couldn't help but breathe on her hand.
"Why are you still cold even though you're wearing so many clothes?"
Ji Ying rolled her eyes at him. "You're definitely not as good as me. You're dressed so lightly and you still look like a furnace. Looks like you have thick skin, not only can you withstand the cold, but you can also withstand bumps."
Upon hearing this, Liang Yizhi chuckled softly, then opened the car door and let her get into the passenger seat.
Ji Ying was curious about where he would take her to interrogate Zhou Wenyuan.
Half an hour later, the car actually drove into the Jingbei Detention Center.
Several uniformed men were already standing in the courtyard waiting.
After Zhou Wenyuan got out of the car, he was taken inside.
Ji Ying looked at Liang Yizhi, her eyes questioning.
Liang Yizhi explained, “There is currently no direct evidence, so it is not appropriate to proceed with a formal interrogation. However, we can place him in the interrogation room. Considering that he has just been attacked by an unknown assailant, we have the right to provide him with protection and to understand the relevant circumstances.”
In that case, sending Zhou Wenyuan to a detention center would be in accordance with regulations.
Liang Yizhi touched her hand and found it wasn't as cold as before, which put his mind at ease.
"According to regulations, they need some time to prepare for the questioning. Since you were a witness to the car accident, they may also need to question you. You can go to the interrogation room with Zhou Wenyuan and wait."
He paused deliberately, then added, "It will probably take about 15 minutes."
Ji Ying immediately grasped the subtlety of it.
He seamlessly integrated her demands into the compliant procedures, making sure there were no loopholes.
This seemingly logical arrangement required a great deal of thought and consideration behind the scenes.
Ji Ying had nothing else to say, only nodded, and was led by a staff member to an interrogation room.
The fluorescent light made Zhou Wenyuan's already pale face appear even paler.
His legs trembled slightly and uncontrollably under the table, barely able to come together.
Ji Ying took in his fear, sat down opposite him, and calmly asked, "He's already sent people to kill you, and you still won't talk?"
The staff brought two glasses of water, placed them in front of them, and then left.
Zhou Wenyuan's throat bobbed as if he were extremely thirsty. He grabbed the cup and took two large gulps, then gasped for breath before calming himself down and saying, "I don't know what Miss Ji wants me to say. Handwriting analysis... is a scientific conclusion, and it can't be wrong."
Ji Ying was about to drink water when she heard him say that, and before the water even touched her lips, she put the glass down again.
"I haven't even told you the specifics, yet you know I asked about handwriting analysis. Doesn't that just prove you have something to hide?"
Zhou Wenyuan's pupils immediately contracted.
Ji Ying gave him no chance to breathe and continued, "Even if you stick to your conclusion, I can apply to a higher-level department to initiate a review and assessment. Do you think the Pang family's influence can reach every corner?"
Her psychological offensive was closing in step by step.
"If we don't speak up now, are we going to wait until the conclusion is officially overturned and everyone starts investigating why you, Zhou Wenyuan, issued a false report and what benefits you received behind the scenes before we talk about it?"
Zhou Wenyuan coughed violently after hearing her words.
"I...I..."
“I’m saving you,” Ji Ying said.
Just as Zhou Wenyuan took a deep breath, about to say something, he suddenly coughed up blood.
His face then rapidly turned from ashen to a horrifying bluish-purple, and he slumped diagonally from the chair.
Ji Ying was horrified and quickly went to help him up.
Liang Yizhi was the first to rush in.
"The water is poisonous!" he exclaimed alarmed.
The staff who followed quickly put on gloves and sealed the two cups of water according to procedure for subsequent toxicological testing and fingerprint comparison.
Ji Ying held Zhou Wenyuan's head to prevent him from choking on the blood gushing from his esophagus.
Liang Yizhi gripped her arm tightly, his voice tense, "Have you had any drinks?"
He was in the monitoring room, seeing everything clearly in the interrogation room. She picked up the water glass and put it to her lips.
But Ji Ying shook her head, "There wasn't enough time."
Liang Yizhi immediately breathed a sigh of relief.
Just then, Zhou Wenyuan suddenly opened his eyes and grabbed Ji Ying's arm.
"Paperweight...paperweight..."
Ji Ying frowned. "What paperweight?"
However, Zhou Wenyuan's grip on her arm gradually loosened, and finally fell to the ground.
The staff member who was squatting down to examine him checked his carotid artery, looked up and said in a deep voice, "No breathing, no pulse."
Liang Yizhi pulled Ji Ying up and embraced her, shielding her from the uncomfortable gaze.
“Paperweight…” Ji Ying suddenly remembered that when she went to his office that morning, she had deliberately paid attention to his desk. “I remember now, it was the yellow jade paperweight on his desk.”
Liang Yizhi's eyes sharpened, and without any hesitation:
"No one here is allowed to leave tonight. Cut off all signals connecting this place to the outside world."
"Jiang Ran, go to Zhou Wenyuan's office."
...
Half an hour later, the secretary pushed open the door to Pang Shijun's study.
"Sir, Zhou Wenyuan is dead. Ji Ying was present at the time."
Pang Shijun stood up from his chair with delight.
"Good! Good! Good! Now, that's enough to send her to prison. Then the entire Qing Sui will be mine."
However, the secretary lowered his head even further and said, "Sir, it is you who has something to discuss."
Pang Shijun was stunned...
