Under his deep gaze, Shang Wu belatedly understood something.
She unconsciously relaxed, and all the thoughts she had just had vanished.
How do you want me to give it to you?
Lu Rangwei raised his chin and looked at her without saying a word.
Shang Wu understood immediately and leaned down to gently kiss Lu Rang's lips.
The cold in Lincheng has not yet subsided.
This winter, her heart died, yet it began to come alive again.
...
The meeting with Zhao Yixin lasted two days.
He hasn't left the Inspectorate for the past two days.
Zhou Yanci was clearly very anxious and worried, and hadn't come to see Shang Wu for two days.
Two hours before Zhao Yixin was released, Shang Wuxian received a notification from Lu Rang.
She called Xiao Dong over: "After I leave, go and tell Zhou Yanci that the people you arranged here have received news that Zhao Yixin has been released from the Inspectorate. I'll send you the address."
Xiao Dong nodded: "Okay, Mr. Shang."
As Shang Wu got up to leave, she narrowed her eyes and turned back: "Were you with Zhou Yanci before he took over?"
Xiao Dong answered truthfully: "I was transferred here after Mr. Zhou became president. Mr. Zhou took the initiative to ask me for a position, saying that we needed to find someone with a clean background."
Shang Wu nodded.
It seems that Xiao Dong is unaware of what Zhou Yanci has done to the merchants.
It's a pity, I thought I could get some useful information from here.
Shang Wu drove to the Inspectorate.
As soon as the car stopped at the entrance, people came out from inside.
After two days of interrogation, Zhao Yixin came out feeling dizzy and disoriented, as if his soul had left his body and he was unsteady on his feet.
Shang Wu honked his horn, startling Zhao Yixin so much that he trembled.
When he met Shang Wu's icy gaze again, his legs went weak and he was about to kneel down.
Shang Wu raised an eyebrow: "Get in the car."
Zhao Yixin opened the back door of the car, feeling too guilty to sit next to Shang Wu.
Shang Wu stepped on the gas and took him to the reserved private room at the restaurant.
After going inside, she sent her location to Xiao Dong, sat down at the table, and threw her bag on the sofa next to her.
"Did you explain this to the head of the Inspectorate?" she asked bluntly.
Zhao Yixin shrugged and said urgently, "What are you talking about! Why did you bring me here? I don't know anything! I... I don't know you either!"
Shang Wu narrowed her eyes: "You dare to get in my car if you don't even know me?"
Zhao Yixin swallowed hard: "I thought it was a car sent by my friend."
"Come on."
Shang Wu crossed her arms and said sharply, "To tell you the truth, I have been investigating the Shang family case. I also know about how you guys conspired to create a false chain of evidence and harm my whole family."
Zhao Yixin froze, his face turning pale.
Shang Wu sneered: "You must be wondering why the head of the Inspectorate suddenly summoned you, right? Not just anyone can build connections like this. You should think about who's backing me up."
Zhao Yixin stared wide-eyed, his expression filled with surprise and doubt, and asked, "You, you've gotten involved with the Yu family?"
Shang Wu frowned in surprise.
The Yu family?
Zhao Yixin was filled with surprise and doubt: "No wonder, even without any evidence, the dean was alarmed and interrogated me privately, and not even in an informal interrogation room! The dean has a close relationship with Mr. Yu, only he could have persuaded the dean to do this!"
He looked as if he had seen a ghost, muttering to himself as he analyzed the situation, a layer of cold sweat already forming on his forehead.
Shang Wu was secretly surprised, but she suppressed her doubts for the time being. She slammed her hand on the table and shouted, "That's right! I do have connections with the Yu family! Let me tell you, the Yu family is backing up this Shang family case. Even if you're buried underground, I can dig three feet into the ground and still bring you up! Why don't you confess now?"
Zhao Yixin shook his head vigorously: "I don't know anything! Don't ask me!"
Shang Wu narrowed her eyes: "Why do you think it took you two days to get out? The dean has already seen that you have a problem. Now that you have turned yourself in and admitted everything, you can get a lighter punishment. Whether you want to come out sooner and reunite with your family is up to you."
"I don't know, I don't know..."
Zhao Yixin lowered his head and refused to speak.
Shang Wu slowly picked up her phone, opened the location she had sent to Xiao Dong, placed the phone on the table, and pushed it over.
The phone slid in front of Zhao Yixin, the screen light illuminating his fearful eyes.
“Zhou Yanci got your location and knows you met me here. There will be no more trust between you. Do you think he will kill you? Now only I can protect you.”
"The dean has already secretly reopened the investigation. Even if he doesn't touch you, and believes you didn't say anything to me, can you really escape? Can you guarantee that you won't say a word when the others are called in for questioning?"
"Whoever surrenders first will receive a lighter sentence. You only have one chance. If you don't take it, your old classmates won't take it either, will they?"
Shang Wu looked at Zhao Yixin quietly.
Zhao Yixin's lips began to tremble, and his whole body trembled.
After a long silence, he looked up.
What do you want me to do?
Shang Wu smiled and picked up her phone to make a call.
"Lu Rang, he's agreed. Come over here."
