Chapter 200 Qiao Xi, I have something to tell you

His hands fell to his sides, his knuckles clenched deeply.

"Zhou Yu, go and stop Xu's quality inspection, at any cost!"

Xu is in the medical field.

There are many standards in this industry, and quality inspections are required at many checkpoints. If any checkpoint gets stuck and their goods are held back, Xu Guangyao will be as anxious as an ant on a hot pot.

"But... this won't do any good to Tianyuan Group. What if the Liu family..." Zhou Yu knew that he couldn't persuade him, so he said reluctantly, "I'll send someone to do it now, which will cause trouble for them."

You have to keep this tone.

He looked at Huo Xingzhou with his deep blue eyes and asked, "How do we solve Wang Lang's problem?"

This concerns who is at fault for the fire.

"Submit the evidence to the police station and re-interrogate Wang Lang." Huo Xingzhou took a deep breath. He knew very well that this interrogation might not yield any results, but at least it would allow his grandmother to leave this world with a clear conscience.

Zhou Yu nodded: "The Xiang family is one of the four great families in the imperial capital. Over the years, Lu Bannong's Chinese medicine hall and the Xiang family have complemented each other and gradually replaced Cheng Han's position. The imperial capital is intricately connected, and we can't touch him for the time being."

Huo Xingzhou's eyes were filled with blood: "One day, we will be able to uproot it."

Now that he has entered the world of fame and fortune, he will not be able to extricate himself easily.

Zhou Yu looked at him hesitantly and said, "I have found out what you asked me to find out before. Your father...he is very close to Xu Guangyao. I found out that they went drinking and playing golf together, just like brothers.

Did he really drug you? I remember they had a pretty good relationship before you got into the car accident. Uncle wouldn't do this to you..."

Huo Xingzhou said coldly: "Then we have to ask him in person."

After finishing the current work, they should have a good talk.

…

This night.

Wang Lang was summoned to the police station again, but this time he was a suspect.

He tensed visibly.

The police knocked on the table and threatened: "Recording a false confession is suspected of perjury, and you must bear the corresponding legal consequences. Think carefully before answering. This time we already have relevant evidence."

Wang Lang's shrewd eyes rolled around and beads of cold sweat broke out on his forehead.

What evidence do the police have?

Is it a lie?

"Wang Lang, let me ask you one more time. On the night when the fire broke out at Cheng's Acupuncture Clinic, were you really in the hospital to accompany your father? You didn't leave the whole night?" The two police officers looked at him sharply.

Wang Lang couldn't help but sit up straight, as if to make his words more convincing.

"I stayed in the hospital all night and didn't leave." He said in a dry voice.

"You're lying!"

The police officer shouted coldly, "You clearly left the hospital between 9pm and 10:30pm. Although you were very careful to avoid the hospital's surveillance, we retrieved the surveillance footage from the relevant road section and found you.

Wang Lang, what else do you have to say? I warn you again, if you give a false confession you will go to jail, think it over before you answer.

They are naturally not so friendly when facing the suspects.

Wang Lang's heart twitched.

His voice was trembling: "I... I just came out to buy some food for my dad, and I'll be back soon."

"Wang Lang."

The police officer put his bank statement in front of him. "As far as I know, your family is poor and your father is a poor farmer. Just the night before the fire in the clinic, you received a transfer of 200,000 yuan. Please explain."

Wang Lang's palms were covered with cold sweat.

He had done everything perfectly, so why did the police still find him?

"I……"

"Wang Lang, it's over now. It's useless for you to lie anymore. We will continue to investigate in this direction and will only find more evidence. Don't forget your father in the hospital. We will collect further evidence from him."

"No!"

Wang Lang is a filial son. "Don't...don't bother my dad. He just had surgery."

His eyes were red, his shoulders were shaking and tears were falling.

"I... I went back to the clinic that day." Wang Lang cried with a trembling voice, "I burned the paper money. I saw on the news that the density of the insecticide was too high and it would explode when exposed to open flames. So... I opened the can of insecticide and lit the paper money."

The pile of flammable paper money burned like crazy.

He regretted it for a moment, but...

"When I ran out the back door, I saw Grandma Qiao rushing in from the front hall to put out the fire. I wanted to tell her to leave. I didn't want to kill anyone..."

She could have escaped through the door.

But she cared too much about Qiao Xi's hard work.

She did not leave, but inhaled too much harmful gas and dust and fainted in the room.

So the police initially determined that it was caused by the old man burning paper money, which was both coincidental and reasonable.

"I'm sorry, I... didn't mean to hurt anyone." Wang Lang grabbed his hair and cried in regret.

The police officer looked at him and asked, "Who ordered this? Who gave you the money?"

Wang Lang shook his head: "No one is instructing me! I am... I am jealous of Dr. Qiao for being a traditional Chinese medicine teacher at such a young age and having opened a clinic! Why is my life so difficult while she is enjoying unlimited glory!"

He had a sinister expression on his face and refused to reveal who was behind the incident.

Because that person promised to take care of his father in his old age, and if the truth came to light, he would take his father to a nursing home to spend his old age.

He can't say!

I told you, he's in prison and there's no one to take care of Dad.

You can’t even tell me even if you die!

The police officer looked serious.

The call records could not be found, and the bank accounts could not be traced back to the source.

But there must be someone behind Wang Lang's actions, and this person is truly extremely capable.

"Wang Lang, you...you have to know that if someone dies due to deliberate arson, the rest of your life will be ruined. If you reveal the mastermind behind it, maybe you can..."

"No! I'm jealous!"

Wang Lang said through gritted teeth.

"you……"

The police officer wanted to ask more questions, but his colleague patted him on the shoulder and whispered, "We got a call from the higher-ups saying that the case can be closed as soon as possible. It's not our place to get involved in a fight between two gods. If we can't find evidence, we can't go on."

in vain.

"But……"

"Close the case as soon as possible. The public is waiting for a result."

"yes."

He responded helplessly.

I don't know how the various gods will fight.

…

The next day.

Inside the Haicheng Hospital ward, the TV screen flickered.

morning news.

Qiao Xi sat on the bed, drinking century egg and lean meat porridge and watching the TV report.

The news was reporting a clinic fire incident, and Wang Lang was handcuffed and looked dazed.

She received a call from the police early in the morning, saying that the arsonist had been found.

It was Wang Lang!

Grandma had a chance to escape, but she went to put out the fire in order to save her clinic.

Qiao Xi's tears flowed down the corners of her eyes and fell into the bowl of porridge.

She forced herself to eat like she was chewing wax.

Huo Xingzhou walked into the room slowly and turned off the TV with the remote control. He paused and walked to her side, put the bowl in her hand aside, and hugged her in his arms as if to compromise.

"Qiao Xi, I have something to tell you."

His thin lips pressed against her earlobe, with a sigh and a look of pity.
