[Chapter 15 The Hidden Truth]
As expected, Huo Jingze narrowed his dark eyes and said with an evil look on his face, "A strange woman is wild and wanton, which is very exciting. There is no man who doesn't like her."
Lin Yin's face flushed, but she couldn't refute. In order to achieve her goal that night, she threw all her dignity behind her. Now when she recalled it, she wanted to dig a hole and bury herself.
She was very embarrassed, and endured the heartache and quickly transferred the money to the man, "You can go, I can arrange for discharge myself."
She doesn't want to see him for even a second now!
Huo Jingze didn't hesitate and nodded in front of her, then stood up, walked towards the door, and left in a very cool manner.
The ward was completely quiet. Lin Yin's temples still ached from time to time. She lay there for a while, and then the cell phone in her pocket rang. It was her mother calling.
As soon as the call was connected, I heard Zhang Aihua's anxious voice, "How about the lawyer you recommended?"
Lin Yin didn't know what to say for a moment, but she finally decided to tell the truth. She told him everything about how the institution tried to rob her money after failing to defraud her, but she hid the things related to Huo Jingze.
She emphasized, "Mom, stop associating with your old classmate. He has evil intentions!"
Zhang Aihua couldn't believe it and said anxiously, "How could he lie to me? He is my childhood friend and we have known each other for decades. You didn't mean to scare me because you didn't want to spend money to save your brother!"
Lin Yin was stunned, her heart twisted into a ball, and she felt very uncomfortable.
After a while, she spoke with difficulty, "Mom, you would rather believe a stranger than me?"
"I……"
"The scammer has been taken to the police station. If you don't believe me, come and see for yourself."
There was silence on the other end of the phone for a few seconds. Zhang Aihua spoke angrily, changing the subject, "So... when can I visit your brother?"
Lin Yin knew that she believed it, and rubbed his tired brows, "According to the regulations, you are not allowed to visit, but I will find a way to arrange it. I will go tomorrow."
"Okay, you must find a way to save your brother. The whole family's hope rests on you." Zhang Aihua warned repeatedly.
"I will."
Lin Yin hung up the phone, and the fatigue between her eyebrows deepened...
After a night's rest, she prepared to go to the police station. Only by meeting Lin Ze could she find out what happened on the day of the incident.
After thinking about it over and over again, the key word was money. In the end, she paid a full 100,000 yuan before she was given the opportunity to visit.
Opportunities are hard to come by, and Lin Yin was afraid that there would be changes, so he went to the police station early to wait.
Through the glass, she saw her elder brother.
The elder brother who used to be full of energy now looked decadent, with blue stubble around his lips, and his once bright eyes had become lifeless, like a walking corpse.
Lin Yin's tears fell and her hands were shaking slightly.
Seeing her, Lin Ze's eyes regained a bit of light, but soon dimmed again. He opened his mouth to the phone, his voice was very hoarse, "Little sister, I'm sorry for you."
"Brother, you are right. It's all because Qian Yaozu went too far..."
Lin Yin couldn't continue, her voice was choked and her eyes were red.
After a while, she asked, "Brother, what happened in the company that day? I don't believe you would fight just because of a few provocations. Did Qian Yaozu bully you and you fought back because you couldn't stand it anymore?"
On the other side of the thick glass, Lin Ze was holding the phone with a gloomy look in his eyes.
He said, "Xiaoyin, just believe that your brother was fighting back in self-defense. Believe this firmly and don't believe anyone else's words."
"But brother, I can't find any evidence."
Lin Yin frowned tightly, her expression filled with worry. "I looked for your former good colleague, but he didn't want to testify in court. I also looked for Sister Yu Rou...but she went abroad and there's no news from her. I can't get in touch with her at all."
Hua Yurou is Lin Ze’s childhood sweetheart. They are getting engaged and the wedding was originally scheduled for next month.
Lin Ze's hand holding the phone suddenly clenched, and a trace of panic flashed across his gray eyes, "Yu Rou went abroad?"
Lin Yin nodded, "Yes, I went to find her as soon as possible. My uncle and aunt said that she was arranged by the company to go abroad for confidential further studies."
Lin Ze's pupils constricted. He opened his mouth and was about to say something, but someone came.
The sound of irregular footsteps came from behind him. Lin Yin turned around and was stunned the next second.
The man was wearing a well-tailored black suit, white shirt and tie. He had deep and handsome features and exuded a faint coolness.
Huo Jingze? !
Their eyes met, Huo Jingze's lips curled up slightly, and a hint of amusement flashed in his dark eyes.
According to regulations, family members are not allowed to visit during criminal detention, but Lin Yin appeared here...
Haha, quite interesting.
The staff member reminded Lin Yin, "Ms. Lin, your visiting hours are up."
"Can you give me a little more time?"
Lin Ze obviously had something else to say, but she couldn't leave yet, so she could only look at the staff pleadingly.
The staff member was a little embarrassed, "The next time is Lawyer Huo's..."
"It's okay, let her stay." Huo Jingze said kindly.
The staff nodded and stepped out.
Huo Jingze walked behind the woman, and Lin Yin wisely got up from the stool and gave him the seat.
She was standing nearby and knew that Huo Jingze came to conduct an investigation.
The two men looked at each other. Huo Jingze held the phone in his slender hand and said calmly, "You insisted on fighting back in self-defense, so what was Qian Yaozu's reason for attacking you?"
"Malice doesn't need a reason. Qian Yaozu has been unhappy with me since I joined the company. He used his power to bully me for a long time. The last time I couldn't stand it anymore, so I fought back."
When Lin Ze spoke, his eyes were slightly lowered, his eyelashes covering his pupils, so that the emotion in his eyes could not be seen.
When people lie, they often dare not look the other person in the eye for fear of being discovered.
Huo Jingze did not point it out, and said slowly: "There is no evidence to prove that you retaliated in self-defense. Qian Yaozu was stabbed and almost died. It is intentional injury that caused serious injuries to the victim. Ten years in prison is inevitable. If you plead guilty and have a good attitude, you can reduce your sentence by three to five years."
Qian Yaozu hoped that Lin Ze would be sentenced to life imprisonment, but Huo Jingze had his own rules and principles and was pragmatic.
Lin Ze on the opposite side didn't say anything, but Lin Yin couldn't help but interrupt: "My brother was fighting back in self-defense, he shouldn't have been in jail!"
"Ms. Lin, please keep quiet. I will only listen to what the person involved has to say. Do you understand?"
Huo Jingze's voice was flat and cold.
“……” Lin Yin could only shut up.
Lin Ze raised his eyes, his gaze was firm, "I was fighting back in self-defense, I am not guilty."
Huo Jingze looked at Lin Ze silently for a few seconds, put down the phone, stood up, and there was no point in continuing.
He glanced at Lin Yin, then turned and walked towards the iron door of the reception room.
Lin Yin quickly sat down and raised the phone, "Brother, what did you want to say just now?"
At this time, the staff behind the glass reminded Lin Ze that the time was up.
Lin Ze pressed his palm against the glass, staring at Lin Yin with bloodshot eyes, "Contact Yu Rou as soon as possible and make sure she's safe!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the staff hung up the phone and Lin Ze was taken away.
Lin Yin stood there in a daze, feeling an inexplicable blockage in his chest, and a myriad of thoughts flashing through his mind.
The case seems to be getting more and more complicated. What other truths are there that she doesn't know?
