Chapter 413 is about the Xue family!
Upon arriving at the police station, there was no separate interrogation. Everyone sat in the office, and the police questioned Ye Tiantian first.
"Summer corrects you, Professor Yao fell because you spilled makeup remover in the bathroom."
Ye Tiantian's heart tightened, and she quickly shook her head: "It wasn't me, I didn't, really, officer, don't believe him! He's trying to drag me down with him! I'm not my uncle's family, he has a daughter and grandson, and he's always been very good to me. What purpose would I have in pouring makeup remover?! I have no reason to harm anyone, right?!"
The officer saw the nervousness and guilt in her eyes; what else could he not understand?
“Xia Tian kept all the records of your conversations, the things you said when you met, and the methods you discussed. For example, you played loud and noisy music at home all the time, and you would do this and that upstairs in the middle of the night from time to time, which caused Professor Yao to be mentally exhausted and unable to sleep well.” As he said this, he looked at Grandma Ye again.
"You were aware of what Ye Tiantian was doing, but you didn't seem to stop her. She went out to play during the day and slept soundly at night, seemingly oblivious to all of this. Although you weren't the murderer, you didn't stop her either."
Yao Jinse looked at the guilty old lady, then at the stunned Ye Tiantian, and then at the police: "What is their purpose in doing this?!"
The police looked at Yao Jinse, knowing that she was the daughter of one of the victims.
"It's all about money and a house. This is connected to another case. The two cases have been merged into one. The other case is the one about the car accident."
Gu Yin asked in surprise, "Have you found out who's behind this?"
The police officer looked at Gu Yin and nodded: "We interrogated her overnight."
Nonsense! With such big shots involved—a shipping magnate, a billionaire, and even a disciple of Master Cheng—how could their small town dare to leave the case until tomorrow? They immediately reported it to their superiors, and it went up the chain of command. A few hours later, the case was no longer their concern; people from Beijing were sent over to interrogate the suspects overnight.
"The driver in the van was Li Jiang, a bus driver in Jiang City. His wife divorced him when their son was five years old, and he raised his son alone afterward. During a company physical examination this year, he was diagnosed with late-stage cancer and had to resign. His son, who is 18 years old this year and just started university, suddenly found a huge sum of money in his bank account—1 million yuan—that had no origin. He himself didn't know where the money came from, but his father told him to use it without worry. After being interrogated last night, Li Jiang finally told the truth because of his son's future."
Gu Yin sighed helplessly. It was the same old story again. People accepted money from others to work for them because they had no future. These people were exploiting the fact that the other person didn't have long to live and wouldn't expose them even if they were caught. They were taking advantage of people's weaknesses!
"The man who bribed him was a young master from the capital named Zhu Chengming. Do you know him?"
Chu Xiong and Yao Jinse looked at each other and both shook their heads: "We don't know each other."
Gu Yin had never heard of this name before, but since the surname was Zhu, she looked at Chu Yan and asked, "Does Zhu Xiaoxiao have any siblings?"
Chu Yan sneered: "Zhu Chengming is Zhu Xiaoxiao's cousin and Zhu Zhenmin's son. He's an incompetent, good-for-nothing playboy."
Chu Xiong frowned: "What does this have to do with him?"
The Zhu family and the Chu family are not in the same circle. The Chu family is a top family, and if the Zhu family hadn't relied on the Xie family, they wouldn't even be a name in Beijing! Even if they did rely on the Xie family, they could only get a tiny bit of a connection.
"It must be related to Zhu Xiaoxiao's matter." Chu Yan thought for a moment, and that was the only thing that could be it.
Gu Yin frowned. In her past life, it was clearly the Xue family who caused this trouble, so how did it become the Zhu family in this life?
"Officer, may we speak with Zhu Chengming?"
The officer looked at Gu Yin and nodded: "At most two people can go in."
Gu Yin looked at Chu Yan: "Let's go in."
After all, only the two of them were truly familiar with the Zhu family's affairs.
The two entered the interrogation room. Zhu Chengming looked up when he heard the voice, and the moment he saw Chu Yan, he immediately stood up, his face contorted with rage as he roared at Chu Yan, "Why didn't I run you over! Chu Yan, how come you're still alive and well! You deserve to be run over!"
"Quiet! Sit down!" The officer next to him immediately pressed him down.
Seeing how agitated he was, Chu Yan was genuinely puzzled: "What did I do to offend you? Why do you want me dead? We don't really have any connection. I've been abroad for the past year. If we have any connection at all, it's only with your foolish cousin."
Zhu Chengming rolled his eyes: "That's an idiot. She went abroad to study and got mistaken for a spy! No wonder she couldn't complete the tasks my dad asked her to do. They say she's smart, sweet-talking, and good at flattering people, but she couldn't even get into university. I could at least get into a second-tier university! Uncle is just biased! Marrying a wife won't bring any benefits to the family! What's the use! They're all idiots! If my dad hadn't stayed home to take care of the elderly, he wouldn't have had a chance to join the army! If my dad hadn't begged and pleaded, how could the factory have been established? How could their eldest son's family have lived so carefree all these years! It's just an anti-abduction bracelet! There are so many spots, what's wrong with giving one to our Zhu family?!"
Chu Yan looked at Gu Yin, who was also speechless. So, just for a spot, Zhu Chengming was willing to kill someone?
Chu Yan retorted sarcastically, "The quota for making bracelets was given by higher-ups. Besides, your little factory doesn't even have proper equipment. You think you can make bracelets? Isn't that a joke?"
Zhu Chengming angrily stretched his neck forward: "What do you know! What do you mean by 'higher-ups' or 'lower-ups'? It's all up to the Xie family! Your Chu family and the Xie family are sworn relatives, so of course, your Chu family gets the benefits first! My uncle asked that old woman from the Xie family to go back and plead with Commander Xie to give the spot to our Zhu family, but that woman from the Xie family said that Commander Xie couldn't make a decision, and Zhu Tiantian is a good-for-nothing. She's been in the Xie family for so long and still can't handle the Xie family. If it were me, what would be the point of you, Chu Yan?!"
After saying that, he looked at Chu Yan with a face full of resentment.
Chu Yan sighed and touched his forehead. He really couldn't understand how Zhu Chengming could be so stupid. The Chu family and the Xie family formed a sworn brotherhood, which was based on their respective backgrounds, aside from emotional reasons. What capital did the Zhu family, a small family that wasn't even a second-rate one, have to form a sworn brotherhood with the Xie family? Did he even understand?
"So you hired someone to run over me and my parents just because you couldn't get that spot? Don't you know that if we get away with it, you'll be in jail for at least a few years, and if one of us gets hurt, you'll be rotting away in jail?"
Zhu Chengming scoffed: "Do you think I'm that stupid? You're lucky this time. I'll only be staying for a few years. I'll pull some strings and reduce the pay a little each year. Maybe we'll meet again in a year. Oh wait, maybe I'll be out by then, and you'll be long gone! Chu Yan, there are plenty of people who want you dead! I hope you live well and wait for me to come out!"
Seeing his arrogance and the veiled threats directed at the victim, the police officer slammed his baton on the table: "Confess! Who's behind you! Otherwise, you won't be getting out of here for years!"
Zhu Chengming stopped talking: "If you have any problems, go find my lawyer."
"Zhu Chengming came to Jiang City in the summer to curry favor with Chu Yan and get the Chu family as his backer. Even after they fell out, he never gave up on the Chu family. Instead, he tried to get close to Chu Yan's maternal grandfather to take a shortcut. Now that he has abandoned the Chu family and is involved in this scheme, I guess the person behind it is either a family like the Chu family or a family more powerful than the Chu family. The Chu family is already the richest family in the country. No one is more powerful than them in business, so it must be the former. Is it a family similar to the Chu family, like the Li family, the Zeng family, the Shang family, or the Xue family? Oh, it's the Xue family! The Xue family, the first branch, the second branch, the third branch, it's the third branch, so it must be Xue Wen from the third branch."
Zhu Chengming panicked and hurriedly shouted, "What nonsense are you talking about! I don't know what you're talking about! You're just guessing! You should think about who you've offended!"
Gu Yin stared at him quietly and said, "When I mentioned the Li family, the Zeng family, the Shang family, or the Xue family, your eyes didn't change at all for the first three. But when I mentioned the Xue family, your eyes widened and your hands clenched. When I mentioned the third branch of the Xue family, you stood up. These behaviors and actions are described in psychology. So, the person behind it is Xue Wen from the Xue family. I just don't know if the head of the Xue family knows about this."
After Gu Yin finished speaking, she looked at the police officer next to her and said, "Could you please check with the Xue family? If anyone tries to stop us, please tell them that if they want to offend the shipping magnate of Hong Kong, offend me, or offend the Chu family, then let them try to stop us!"
Even without relying on her teacher's influence, the fact that she could come up with the idea of an anti-abduction bracelet and a future anti-abduction chip at such a young age would make the higher-ups afraid to let her get hurt!
The officer nodded: "Don't worry, someone from above has come down, there shouldn't be any obstruction."
Seeing this, Gu Yin didn't say anything more and looked at Chu Yan: "Let's go."
Before leaving, Chu Yan looked at Zhu Chengming, smiled, and said, "You can wait to stay in there for the rest of your life. Someone like you, with no background and no ability, do you think the Xue family will protect you or Xue Wen?" After saying that, he left the interrogation room without waiting for Zhu Chengming to speak.
The arrogance on Zhu Chengming's face had vanished. At this moment, his eyes were filled with confusion, his face was pale, and his lips were trembling. He wanted to say something, but in the end, he only opened his mouth and then remained silent.
