Tai Zheng reflected on himself like a work summary: "This was my most wrong decision. Originally, Zhang Zhijun and Zhuo Jinxin's scheme against the Xie family had nothing to do with the Tai family. I asked Tai Jing to provide Zhuo Jinxin with information about the terminally ill patient, and the Tai family left a mark in this matter."
While calling it "the most wrong decision," Tai Zheng's tone was remarkably calm. Having reached this point, no amount of regret was necessary. Tai Zheng's willingness to share these experiences with the police was more about sorting out his life and venting the repressed emotions he'd endured for so many years.
After all, I can’t even say these words to my wife Shen Errong!
The Tai family left traces, and although Zhang Zhijun didn't do anything, his life became difficult after his and Zhuo Yue's parent-child relationship was exposed. The Xie family no longer trusted Zhang Zhijun, and Zhang Zhijun's family also began to riot.
"I didn't expect Zhang Zhijun's wife, Lu Meishu, to die. Lu Meishu's presence comforted the troops Zhang Zhijun had snatched from the Lu family, and also held the Lu family in check. If Lu Meishu died, the Lu family and Zhang Zhijun would perish together."
Tai Zheng's statement is consistent with what the police know.
Lu Meishu's death shocked the Lu family and also caused Zhang Zhijun's trusted subordinate Mao Danming to directly rebel.
The person who reacted the most was Zhang Hua. He felt that the cause of Lu Meishu's death was suspicious. In order to avenge Lu Meishu, Zhang Hua told the Xie family that Zhang Zhijun was engaged in smuggling.
Without Zhang Hua providing this key information, Xie Yuping would not have thought of investigating Zhang Zhijun's smuggling, nor would he have dug up the past between Zhang Zhijun and the Lu family.
Just as Tai Zheng said, the original plan was that Zhang Zhijun and Zhuo Jinxin killed Xie Qian because of emotional entanglement, and the Xie family brought Zhang and Zhuo to justice to avenge Xie Qian. Unexpectedly, the "actors" did not follow Tai Zheng's script.
This is a variable that Tai Zheng cannot control.
It has nothing to do with his ability. God is not on his side. What can Tai Zheng do?
"Zhang Zhijun didn't approve of Zhuo Jinxin's move on Xie Qian. He knew that Tai Jing had instigated Zhuo Jinxin and she also bore a grudge against the Tai family, so he went to Tai Jing's ex-husband to report the Tai family."
Tai Zheng and Zhang Zhijun are partners. Their conflicts are irreconcilable and both want to kill each other, but they cannot use "smuggling" to attack each other, so they can only do it in other ways.
The police asked Tai Zheng: "Do you think Zhang Zhijun killed Lu Meishu?"
Tai Zheng shook his head. "I don't know. If he really killed her, then he's really stupid. If the affair is exposed, he can divorce Lu Meishu. As long as he gives more of the visible property to Lu Meishu, she won't hate him too much after her emotions calm down. The same goes for Zhang Hua. Just like the Xie family, Xie Qian will break up with Xie Jinghu, but Xie Qian will not try every means to put Xie Jinghu to death."
If the relationship breaks down, you can divorce and when dividing the property, favor your ex-wife, and the matter will be almost over.
If someone dies, things will become complicated.
"Just like you, giving all your apparent joint assets to your ex-wife Shen Errong during the divorce?"
The police did not let Tai Zheng go and continued to question him: "Is this the escape route you and Shen Errong agreed on? She used the joint property you had publicly disclosed to get a divorce. If anything happens to the Tai family, Shen Errong can use this to escape."
Tai Zheng denied it: "No, she had no idea about my private collaboration with Zhang Zhijun. Outsiders thought we had a good relationship, but we had been living in the same bed but not in the same dream for many years. She never asked about my affairs."
It's too late to wait until divorce to sever ties.
Ever since Shen Errong discovered his affair with Shi Hong, he had cut off all ties with Shen Errong.
Tai Zheng could have found connections to perform surgery on Wei Chengye's wife, but he didn't do it himself. He deliberately used Shen Errong's connections to hire an expert, intending to let God choose. If God let Shen Errong find out, then whatever he did in the future would have nothing to do with Shen Errong!
His marriage with Shen Errong still needs to be maintained, but Shen Errong does not need to know about his cooperation with Zhang Zhijun.
The police didn't know whether Tai Zheng's story was true or not. They've interrogated Shen Errong numerous times, and she's described him as "deep-minded" and "despicable." She found Tai Zheng's desperate attempts to climb the social ladder ugly. Sometimes, she'd wake up in the middle of the night to find him smoking by the window, his face so gloomy it frightened her.
"He must be thinking about who he can exploit and what relationships he needs to work harder to maintain. His life is all about climbing up the ladder, and to achieve this goal, he's willing to abandon his wife and children!"
So Shen Errong couldn't understand why Tai Zheng wanted to engage in smuggling with Zhang Zhijun.
If you want to move up, how can you get involved in such things!
Shen Errong didn't know that Zhuo Jinxin had evidence that threatened the Tai family. Even if she knew, Shen Errong couldn't understand it. After all, Zhuo Jinxin didn't force Tai Zheng to engage in smuggling.
Seeing that Tai Zheng was particularly cooperative today, the police did not forget to ask Tai Zheng why he initially got involved in smuggling.
The police don’t really care about the criminals’ psychology, but if they don’t figure out the motives of the crime, other people involved in the case may slip through the net!
When asked about the reason for participating in smuggling, Tai Zheng couldn't help laughing: "Of course it's because I'm short of money. I could be arrested at any time if I use my power to make money. If I partner with Zhang Zhijun to do smuggling, as long as we are careful enough, the money we can earn will be a wealth that our descendants will never be able to spend. None of us have Xie Jinghu's business skills. If we want to make a lot of money, we can only do it in a side way! If the Tai family can't avoid following the old path of the Zhuo family, why can't we leave a sum of money for future generations while the Tai family is still there? I don't want to see the children of the Tai family relying on selling their bodies to maintain a wealthy life like Zhuo Jinxin. I feel sick just thinking about it."
