"Of course, she is a very good private detective." Sang Tianen lied.
If Yan Zheng knew that those five people were either dead or disappeared, he would definitely not be able to accept it.
In order to prevent Yan Zheng from breaking down again, Sang Tianen had to conceal the truth.
"I've already spoken to her, and she said she'll do her best to help us." Sang Tianen had a gentle expression on his face. "We just need to wait for news."
"But……"
"Okay, Xu Qingyue's matter is certainly important, but your health is more important. Look at how bad you look these past few days."
Sang Tianen took out the plastic box containing the wontons, opened the lid and said to Yan Zheng, "Eat your meal first."
Yan Zheng sat down hesitantly and said, "You should sit down and eat too."
"Okay." After a busy day, Sang Tianen was indeed tired and hungry.
The two of them had a simple meal and went to bed early.
The next day, Yan Zheng went to work, and Sang Tianen took a few days off.
The work has been almost handed over. Li Ye is in their team and can do the job well. In addition, Manager Sun didn't say much when he learned that many things had happened in her family.
Sang Tianen booked a flight to Dingzhou. She was going to Nanshan Prison to see the last person - Xia Mo, although the hope was very slim.
The plane landed at 10:23 am, and she took a taxi directly to Nanshan Prison. She lied that she was Xia Mo's classmate, handed over her ID card, and waited quietly for the prison guard's reply.
She originally thought that it would not be so smooth, but she did not expect that Xia Mo would actually be willing to see her. This made Sang Tianen cautious.
Through the transparent glass, Sang Tianen saw Xia Mo with handcuffs on her hands. She was a tall and thin woman.
Her short hair cut almost close to her scalp, her narrow and cold drooping eyes, her high and prominent cheekbones, and the blue and white prison uniform she wore made her look like a typical criminal.
When her eyes swept across Sang Tianen's face, she did not show any surprise, but instead became thoughtful.
Xia Mo sat down and picked up the phone, and Sang Tianen also picked up the phone.
"Who are you? Why are you looking for me pretending to be a classmate?" Xia Mo asked coldly.
"I want to tell you about an old story." Sang Tianen said straight to the point.
Xia Mo was silent for a moment, then raised her thin eyelids, her expression becoming intriguing: "I wonder which one you are referring to?"
"The incident thirteen years ago." Sang Tianen ignored the provocation in her tone, "I want to know who ordered you to do that."
"That thing..." Xia Mo showed a look of realization and asked with some nostalgia, "Did Yan Zheng ask you to come to me?"
"You just need to answer my questions." Sang Tianen's face darkened.
Xia Mo laughed and looked at Sang Tianen with evil eyes: "You have something to ask of me, and you are so arrogant?"
"Your words are not important. I just want to see if there are any other options before making a decision." Sang Tianen leaned back with an arrogant look. "But to you, I am very important."
"What do you mean?" Xia Mo paused and narrowed her eyes slightly.
"I've seen your case. It was something that was consensual between you, but you ended up getting killed accidentally. It was pure bad luck for you."
"If I had found a better lawyer and given him more compensation, he could have been acquitted."
Hearing the word 'not guilty', Xia Mo's facial muscles twisted. She suddenly leaned forward, her eyes widened, and said, "I'm innocent. It was clearly that bitch who wanted to play around, and ended up killing herself. But her parents insisted on accusing me of rape. I'm totally innocent!"
"Honestly, as a woman, I sympathize with you." Sang Tianen also leaned against the glass and said, "Love between men and women is a natural thing. Even if there is responsibility, it shouldn't be sentenced to twenty years."
As if she had finally found someone who understood her, Xia Mo's eyes gradually turned red: "Twenty years! I've been sentenced to a full twenty years. When I get out, I'll be over fifty. What else can I do..."
"It's not like there's no hope." Sang Tianen observed her expression and said, "As long as you tell me the truth about what happened back then, I'll help you find the best lawyer to overturn the verdict."
"Do you see this watch on my hand?" Sang Tianen pointed at the silver-gray watch on his hand. "It's over one million."
"Money is not a problem for me. In this society, as long as you have money, many problems can be solved."
"I heard that before you went to jail, you ran a car repair shop, making hundreds of thousands of dollars a year, and many men were chasing you at the time."
"If he hadn't been falsely accused, I'm guessing how old the child would be now."
"You are still young. As long as you can get out of prison, you can still make a comeback."
Xia Mo did not answer, her eyes fixed on the watch on Sang Tianen's wrist, and she seemed to be thinking.
Sang Tianen was not in a hurry and waited for her leisurely.
Does Xia Mo have any choice? It seems not!
After being silent for more than a minute, Xia Mo finally looked at her and said, "Will you really help me?"
"Of course, I never lie. It would damage my merits." Sang Tianen smiled, looking very handsome.
"Well, I'll give you an address and you go find my dad and deposit five million into his account. He'll come to visit me tomorrow, and as soon as he sees the money arrive, I'll tell him."
Sang Tianen's smile faltered, and he resisted the urge to kick him. "You've been in here too long. Large bank transfers now require advance reservations."
"I can wait." Xia Mo smiled. "Anyway, I don't have much right now, but I have a lot of time."
Sang Tianen tried hard to maintain a fake smile on his face: "Is five million too much?"
"How could that be? As long as the information is important enough, you will give it to me even if I ask for 10 million." Xia Mo smiled confidently.
The smile on Sang Tianen's face completely disappeared. He stood up and cursed into the microphone: "Go to hell, you dare to ask me for five million? Do you think my money came from the wind?"
"That's what I worked so hard to earn!"
"To make money, I've learned so much and suffered so much. How dare you ask for five million with your father's appearance?"
"Five million dollars would cost you your life, you damn rapist!"
"Why didn't the judge sentence you to death? Do you think a scum like you deserves to live in this world?"
"How dare you ask me for five million when you look like such a slut? If it weren't for the glass between us, I would beat you to death, my granddaughter."
