Chapter 20 Zhang Sheng is arrested
Lu Yao carefully recalled the events in her mind.
She searched through all her past memories, but she couldn't recall ever having met Gu Yuzhen.
She raised her hand and gently rubbed her temples, pondering:
Having slept for a thousand years, and only to arrive in this world two days later, if there was any interaction between them, perhaps Gu Yuzhen had seen only a remnant of her own soul.
Since Gu Yuzhen has discovered that she is different from before, on the bright side, this can be used to her advantage, and perhaps even lead to cooperation.
After all, having just arrived in this world, I am all alone and helpless. Having more help means having more security.
Besides, she wasn't afraid of Gu Yuzhen exposing her.
After all, she possessed Gu Yuzhen's secrets, and the two had a basis for cooperation as they checked and balanced each other.
The next morning, sunlight streamed into every corner of the asylum.
What seemed like a peaceful day was shattered by a bombshell announcement.
In the mental hospital, Zhang Sheng, who was originally regarded as a hero by everyone for successfully subduing the thugs who broke into the ward, was taken away by the police.
The news caused a huge uproar at the hospital.
In the hospital leader's office, the leader sat at a large desk, his pen hovering in mid-air.
He had originally planned to highlight Zhang Sheng on the year-end awards and commendations list, but now he was stunned, his face blank with disbelief.
What happened?
How could such a perfectly good candidate for performance evaluation suddenly encounter this kind of trouble!
He, who had placed high hopes on Zhang Sheng, felt as if a bucket of cold water had been poured over his head.
The person who went to the police station to inquire about the matter brought back a shocking truth.
The following is the truth as reconstructed by the police based on Zhang Sheng's confession:
Zhang Sheng was in cahoots with Li Ping.
The two, being birds of a feather, plotted to bully Lu Yao.
Li Ping came from a wealthy family and, relying on his money, always acted arrogantly in front of others.
Although Zhang Sheng works at the hospital, he is a wicked man and has long disliked Li Ping's character.
The two hit it off immediately and decided to pull off a "big" heist to get some benefits from Lu Yao.
Once in the ward, Zhang Sheng suddenly started plotting his own scheme.
Seeing Li Ping's confident look, he felt increasingly resentful.
He felt that the compensation Li Ping offered was too little, and the risks he faced were too great.
In that instant, a plan came to him. He decided to simply betray Li Ping and use Li Ping to claim the credit.
Let's get right to it.
Taking advantage of Li Ping's unpreparedness, Zhang Sheng secretly circled behind him, suddenly raised his arm, and struck Li Ping hard on the back of the head with all his might.
Li Ping never expected his "good partner" to suddenly pull such a move. Without even uttering a sound, he was knocked unconscious and fell straight to the ground.
He quickly tied Li Ping up, then pretended to be panicked and ran to wake up Dr. Wang, who was on duty, shouting, "Dr. Wang, something terrible has happened! I've subdued the thug!"
Then, he quickly called the police, sat aside, and waited smugly for the police to arrive, feeling extremely proud of himself.
For the next two days, he basked in the praise from the police and doctors.
It walks with a swagger, its tail practically wagging in the sky.
But the truth eventually came out, and today, Li Ping, who had been in a coma for a long time, finally woke up.
When Li Ping opened his eyes, he felt dizzy and disoriented.
His mind was a complete mess, and he couldn't explain what had happened after entering Lu Yao's ward.
But he vaguely remembered that he went to the hospital with Zhang Sheng, and the uniform he was wearing was provided by Zhang Sheng.
He vaguely told the police all of this.
Upon hearing this, the police immediately sensed something was amiss.
They quickly launched an investigation, checking Li Ping and Zhang Sheng's payment and receipt records.
You won't believe it until you look it up, and what you find will shock you.
Zhang Sheng had previously received 10,000 yuan transferred from Li Ping!
Furthermore, the tools used in the crime, including duct tape, rope, and condoms, were found on the spot.
After careful investigation, it was found that all of them were purchased by Zhang Sheng.
The consumption records are clear and the evidence is irrefutable.
After obtaining this evidence, the police acted swiftly and arrested Zhang Sheng.
In the interrogation room, Zhang Sheng initially tried to deny it.
Faced with irrefutable evidence, he ultimately had no choice but to admit it.
Zhang Sheng, who was already Lu Yao's puppet, looked indifferent, curled his lip, and said nonchalantly, "I've long disliked Li Ping's pretentious attitude in front of others. So what if he has a little money? What's so great about that!"
The police officer was both amused and exasperated by his words and couldn't help but ask, "Didn't you think that your actions would be exposed once Li Ping woke up?"
Zhang Sheng adopted a nonchalant attitude, saying nonchalantly, "It's okay, I'm not afraid of anyone with nothing to lose. I just wanted to mess with him and vent my anger!"
Who would have thought that the real Zhang Sheng was crying out in his heart, but no one could hear him?
Since Zhang Sheng confessed without hesitation, the police made him sign and put his fingerprint on the statement.
Afterwards, the police followed procedure and notified the victim's family of the incident.
...
Lu Zhai is a magnificent European-style villa that stands like a castle.
The back garden was full of blooming flowers, their fragrance carried on the gentle breeze.
The azure swimming pool shimmered and sparkled with tiny lights.
Inside the villa, crystal chandeliers hang from the ceiling, reflecting off the expensive marble floor and creating mesmerizing light and shadow effects.
The walls are adorned with valuable paintings by renowned artists, showcasing the owner's refined taste and substantial wealth.
The villa was bustling with activity; a party was in full swing.
The focus of the party was none other than the little princess whom the Lu family doted on and spoiled.
Lu Kangning.
Fifteen-year-old Lu Kangning wore a princess dress, the skirt light and flowing, like a blooming, beautiful flower.
Her face was beaming with a radiant smile, her eyes were bright as stars, and her long, glossy black hair flowed smoothly over her shoulders.
The purpose of the party was very simple: to celebrate Lu Kangning's great progress in the recent monthly exam.
She improved by more than ten places, breaking into the top twenty in the whole school for the first time.
Don't underestimate these seemingly insignificant dozen or so people.
Lu Kangning attended Elite Private High School, one of the schools with the strongest teaching staff and the best students in the country.
Here, every student is an outstanding individual, and the competition is exceptionally fierce.
Surpassing anyone in the rankings requires extraordinary effort.
Even Lu Jianhong, the father who is usually busy with company affairs, specially put down his work just to accompany his beloved daughter and celebrate this memorable moment together.
Lu Jianhong was tall and imposing, dressed in a well-tailored custom-made suit, which made him look very distinguished.
His wife, Xie Yutong, stood beside him. She was beautiful and dressed in a low-key evening gown.
The couple watched with loving and gentle smiles as Lu Kangning was surrounded by a group of classmates and friends, enjoying the treatment of being the center of attention.
They were truly proud of Lu Kangning.
Suddenly, Lu Jianhong's cell phone rang at an inopportune moment.
