Chapter 226 Obtaining Her Biological Samples
The enormous explosion sent shockwaves through the entire Qing Sui Power Plant.
Xiao Chang's office was not far from the laboratory, and he was the first to kick open the twisted door frame and rush in.
Although the power was off inside, the room was filled with thick smoke, and the pungent smell made it hard to open one's eyes.
"Ji Ying, where are you?"
"I...I'm here."
A weak response came from the corner.
Ji Ying was helped out from behind the control panel by her colleagues. Her hair was messy and her cheeks were covered in soot, but fortunately she was not injured.
"What about the others? How are they doing?" Xiao Chang asked loudly.
"fine……"
The R&D personnel involved in the testing suffered minor burns, but were otherwise unharmed.
However, after the smoke extraction system cleared the smoke, they found Wu Li lying next to the core test chamber.
His body was pinned down by the falling support structure and broken equipment; he was no longer breathing.
The sirens of police cars and ambulances grew louder as they approached, completely disrupting order in the park...
When Liang Jian arrived at the hospital, Ji Ying had just finished a simple examination.
She was fine, just her clothes were a little dirty, her hair was a bit messy, and she looked a little disheveled.
Liang Jian took her back to the Liang residence, and kept asking her why she was so careless.
Ji Ying leaned against the car window, closed her eyes, and rubbed her temples.
The roar of the explosion still echoed in my mind, and the image of Wu Li lying on the ground lingered in my mind.
Unable to answer Liang Jian's question, she buried her face in her collar and remained silent.
By evening, the accident during the testing of Qing Sui's new battery had become common knowledge in Kun City, and even Liang Weiyue returned to his residence early because of it.
Xiao Chang also arrived, but he brought only news that was detrimental to Ji Ying.
Upon hearing this, Liang Weiyue frowned.
Just then, the housekeeper rushed in to report: "Vice President Wu of Minghe Hospital has barged in with the police!"
The air in the living room froze instantly.
The next moment, a group of figures stormed into the living room.
The leader was not a policeman, but a middle-aged man with bloodshot eyes, exuding grief and rage.
He is Vice President Wu of Minghe Hospital.
Behind him were several stern-faced police officers.
This display made it seem as if the Liang family would be arrested if they didn't hand over the person.
“Chairman Liang,” Vice President Wu said in a hoarse voice, “we have no connection with each other normally. This time, Ji Ying owes my son a life, and she must pay the price. I hope the Liang family will handle this matter fairly and justly.”
Liang Weiyue's face turned ashen. As the head of the family, to be so humiliated by someone barging into his home and interrogating him was already a great disgrace.
He suppressed his anger and said, "Vice President Wu, I understand your feelings. I, Liang, am upright and honest, and I would never bend the law for personal gain."
As he spoke, he looked at the police, about to speak, when Liang Jian quickly said, "Dean Wu, the matter hasn't been investigated properly, and you've already called the police..."
“A-Jian,” Liang Weiyue interrupted him, “the police have already come twice in such a short time. The Liang family’s reputation can’t withstand this kind of dragging on. You need to know when to cut ties.”
Under his father's imposing presence, Liang Jian glanced at Ji Ying with difficulty, and finally slumped back down.
At this moment, the police stepped forward and showed Ji Ying their identification.
"According to the preliminary investigation, as the safety manager of the project, you committed serious supervisory negligence during the experiment, which led to an explosion and one death. Please return to the bureau to cooperate with further investigation."
Before Ji Ying could react, Liang Yanchuan jumped up.
"None of you showed a summons. Do you think you can just break into a private residence with some kind of identification?"
"Yanchuan!" Liang Weiyue said unhappily, "Your older brother knows how to weigh the pros and cons. What can you do besides being reckless and stubborn? We've trained you for four years, and you still can't stand up to the task."
That's a rather harsh statement.
It was as if they were announcing that Lin Meizhen and her son were out of the game.
But Liang Yanchuan couldn't care less about all that.
Seeing that he was about to argue, Ji Ying quickly gave him a look, signaling him not to stand up for her and to proceed with the plan.
Liang Yanchuan's words were stuck in his throat, and he could only pound the sofa armrest in frustration before turning his face away.
Ji Ying looked at the police officer and said frankly, "I need to see the paperwork."
One of the policemen glanced at Xie Mingxuan and replied, "I'll show you once we're inside."
Ji Ying narrowed her eyes. "Without the necessary paperwork, I cannot cooperate with you."
Upon hearing this, Xie Mingxuan said with dissatisfaction, "Dean Wu lost his son, and you can't escape responsibility for that. Why can't you cooperate? Are you waiting for someone to pull strings to save you?"
His words successfully provoked Vice President Wu's anger.
“What right does a murderer have to talk to the police about cooperating? Officers, she is the one who killed my son. The murderer is right in front of you, you must arrest him immediately.”
The police officer who had just glanced at Xie Mingxuan showed a troubled expression, then looked at Ji Ying and said, "The family is very emotional. I think you should come with us."
He then gestured for two colleagues to come forward and handcuff Ji Ying.
"Are you going to convict me now?"
Ji Ying wouldn't let them touch her hands.
Xiao Chang stepped forward. "Cooperating with an investigation and making an arrest are two different things. Shouldn't everything be done according to procedure?"
Vice Dean Wu roared in fury, "Xiao Chang! How dare you speak up for her! The one who died was my son! My only son!!"
Not wanting to put Xiao Chang in a difficult position, Ji Ying ignored him and the man surnamed Wu, and said to the police, "I can go with you, but I'm not a criminal, so you can't use this thing on me."
After weighing the pros and cons, the police ultimately took Ji Ying away from the Liang residence without handcuffs.
A barely perceptible smile flickered across Xie Mingxuan's lips. Once Ji Ying stepped into the police station, he would have a chance to obtain her biological samples.
If she really is the person they're looking for...
He lowered his gaze, his expression inscrutable.
The police station lobby was dimly lit. Just as Ji Ying was about to be led into the interrogation room, Gu Yanchen strode in with his lawyer.
It was obvious that Xiao Chang had informed him.
The lawyer next to Gu Yanchen jogged a few steps, walked to the front, and handed over the documents.
"Captain Wang, the charges against our client, Ms. Ji Ying, have not yet been definitively determined, but she meets the conditions for bail. This is the bail procedure; we request that bail be granted immediately."
Ji Ying's brow twitched slightly at the lawyer's words.
Bail is tantamount to admitting that she is a suspect.
"This..." The lead officer looked troubled and subconsciously glanced towards the interrogation room.
There, the equipment for collecting biological samples was already prepared, just waiting for her to enter.
This was their real purpose in bringing Ji Ying to the bureau.
Gu Yanchen's gaze sharpened. "Do you have some 'special procedure' that must be completed during detention?"
“Absolutely not!” the lead officer said sternly. “But in what capacity are you intervening?”
"I'm her ex-husband, and now I'm her boyfriend," Gu Yanchen said without changing his expression.
The officer scoffed, "These relationships aren't legally recognized."
Gu Yanchen raised an eyebrow. "Whether he acknowledges it or not, my lawyer knows best. If he can produce the necessary documents, it proves that I am qualified."
Neither side would back down, tensions were high, and the dispute reached a stalemate.
Ji Ying's cool gaze swept over the bail document, and a bitter smile appeared on her lips.
"Gu Yanchen, I don't need your bail."
