Chapter 206: Even if the sky collapses and the earth breaks, I will protect him
Lian Zhuo was still calm at this time, standing in front of the man. "The confession involves Miss Chen. We can only interrogate her after verification. Who approved the order?"
The police officer was equally cautious. "The incident happened at the Yan family. Mr. Yan provided evidence to the provincial department overnight. A special task force has been established. The municipal bureau is cooperating in the investigation. Due to the serious impact, all relevant personnel involved in the case must go through—"
"You don't need to tell me about the rules and regulations." Jiang Jingyan was on the verge of exploding, his eyes were fierce and his attitude was strong. "I said, this matter has nothing to do with Chen Qing."
Liang Jing was so disappointed with him that she dragged him into the meeting room.
Jiang Jingyan still had one bottle of IV fluid left that night. After receiving the news, he pulled out the needle and rushed over immediately. There was a small blood stain on the cuff of his shirt.
At this moment, his collar was slightly open, and he sat upright in the pale light. He looked terrifyingly violent, with a barbaric air bursting out between his brows, and a strong sense of domination.
Lian Zhuo poured a cup of hot water and said, "Take your time."
The man leaned back in his chair and pushed her away irritably, "Liang Jing."
Liang Jing also looked at him, "I know what you want to say. Chen Qing is just here to question me. I'll let you go once you've explained clearly. Why are you making up charges?"
In the past, when the two of them disagreed, their tone would only be more aggressive than it was now.
So, she didn't hold back and leaned forward. "You're the general manager of Huasheng. The higher-ups sent you to rectify the situation. Can't you tell the difference between questioning your influence and questioning the influence of a student?"
As she spoke, she knocked on the conference table, each knock louder than the last.
Lian Zhuo completely agreed with this point. Last time at the Sihanoukville Terminal, Jiang Jingyan had taken precautions in advance and played a trick with the provincial government to lure the snake out of its hole. Not only did he dig out the eight million transferred by Vice President Kong's offshore company, he also seized the cargo at Zhounan Terminal and arrested Huang Hao and the supplier. His merits outweighed his faults.
This time is different. If he is suspected and affects the stock market of Huasheng Group, not only will the province hold him accountable, but the board of directors will also use this as an excuse to attack him, and his position as chairman will be difficult in the future.
But if Chen Qing were to be brought into the interrogation room, it was clear the other party had a back-up plan. The nature of the evidence they possessed was unknown. Furthermore, her unauthorized investigation into the Chen family case had already alerted Meng Hongwen, and this incident served as a warning. Because of Chen Qing's current relationship with the Jiang family, even if Jiang Jingyan requested a transfer, she would not be allowed to participate in the case review. If she mishandled the situation and fell into the trap of the evidence chain, Meng Hongwen's influence could infiltrate and force a conviction, resulting in a minimum sentence of five years' probation.
At the critical moment, you always have to choose one side to face this bottomless trap.
Jiang Jingyan's eyes were filled with coldness and murderous intent. He spoke each word with pause, "Chen Qing didn't know about this. I accepted the bracelet and gave it to her."
Liang Jing was frightened by his gaze, but still refused to give in. "If you take over, will her life be easier if she loses power in Huasheng and the city?"
"We haven't gotten the marriage certificate yet, so if anything happens to me, it won't involve her."
"Do you still remember your identity?"
He said nothing and his face looked extremely gloomy.
Liang Jing was shocked by Jiang Jingyan's determination. He was well-known for his strong sense of discipline and propriety. She had never seen him abandon his beliefs and make such a principled mistake without hesitation.
There was a long silence in the conference room.
Liang Jing took a deep breath, supported himself on the edge of the table, and stood up, the veins on the back of his hand clenching. "I don't have the authority, and neither do you, Jiang Jingyan. The reputation and word of mouth you have accumulated for half a lifetime, and the justice you uphold, all depend on your thoughts."
The man remained motionless, as if he hadn't heard.
Lian Zhuo knew that he had no other choice.
He is the only one who can fight against Yan Baiqing in this game. No matter whether the opponent is the Yan family or Meng Hongwen, only he can fight his way out of the siege, and protecting Chen Qing and getting out safely is something he must do even if the sky collapses and the earth breaks.
Half an hour later, Lian Zhuo met Chen Qing outside the Municipal Bureau.
She got out of Yan Baiqing's car, unexpectedly calm.
"Ms. Chen." He glanced at the side and nodded, "Mr. Yan."
"Jingyan has arrived?"
"Um."
Yan Baiqing turned to Chen Qing and said, "Don't panic, I'm right next to you."
She didn't say anything and followed Lian Zhuo inside, with three policemen following closely behind.
"Is the situation optimistic?" Chen Qing asked in a low voice.
"The only witness who can prove that you unknowingly accepted the stolen property is Mr. Xu."
"Mr. Yan said that Mr. Xu escaped."
"Yes." Lian Zhuo led her out of the meeting room and stood still. "Leave the details to Mr. Jiang."
The moment there was a knock on the door, Jiang Jingyan pulled down his sleeve to cover the bruise on the back of his hand.
Liang Jing sat in the corner, taking in all his movements and the tenderness that unconsciously revealed at that moment.
"Come here." Jiang Jing spoke calmly, and Yun Danfeng smiled lightly.
Chen Qing was uneasy, so he walked over to him and sat down.
Across the conference table sat three police officers, their faces serious. The man in the middle, with a crew cut, looked around with a serious tone, "Ms. Chen, Mr. Jiang said he accepted the red coral bracelet and gave it to you. Is that true?"
Chen Qing's hands and feet were cold and her mind was confused. She felt the man pinching her fingertips and turned her head with difficulty.
Jiang Jingyan is going to be the witness on behalf of Mr. Xu to prove that she is "unaware". If he refutes it at this time, he will be involved in the scandal of perjury.
Chen Qing had to answer according to his wishes.
After a long while, the man opposite spoke up to remind him.
She brushed Jiang Jingyan's hand away, her throat pounding like magma. "The bracelet was a meeting gift from President Xu. Mr. Jiang was drunk that day, so he might have forgotten it."
Liang Jing suddenly straightened his back and looked at Jiang Jingyan. His face immediately became gloomy and darker until it became completely dark.
The police officer who was questioning him was also surprised and looked at him in surprise.
Jiang Jingyan grabbed Chen Qing's wrist with ferocious force, "Chen Qing."
"I gave Mr. Xu my address," she continued, "It's my roommate's off-campus address. The bracelet broke that day, and Mr. Xu said he'd fix it and send it to me."
"Do you know this person?"
She looked at the photo on the table and nodded, "Mrs. Feng."
"She accused you of using Mr. Jiang's identity as his fiancée to pressure her along with Mr. Xu."
"I only saw her once at Xianxuan Teahouse. It was Mr. Xu who organized the card game."
"A specific date."
"The day before yesterday."
"time."
Chen Qing frowned and thought, "It seems like... I arrived at Xianxuan Teahouse around seven o'clock and left around nine o'clock."
The police officer raised his eyelids but said nothing.
This time coincides with the time when Mrs. Feng negotiated with the customs in her confession.
"Ms. Chen, you need to talk to us somewhere else."
Jiang Jingyan raised his eyes, his expression suppressed, "Ten minutes."
The police officers looked at each other, stood up, and stood guard outside the door.
Chen Qing was in a daze as the hand was put over her shoulder. She looked at Jiang Jingyan, and Jiang Jingyan also looked at her.
There was silence for a long time.
Jiang Jingyan leaned down, took her hand, and brought it to his lips. "Lian Zhuo will hire a lawyer."
"Don't worry about me, I can't repay you for this favor."
He paused, a chill creeping into his eyes. "Another old problem?"
Chen Qing dodged him, staggered back, and suppressed tears, "You know that the cause of my parents' death is unknown, and you also know that it is related to your father, right?"
Jiang Jingyan slowly sat up straight, his jaw tense and sharp. He saw grievance, vigilance, and resentment in her eyes.
A feeling of extreme sorrow and pain swept through my body.
