"Eldest daughter-in-law, step aside and cooperate with the police officer," Old Master Zhou said in a deep voice to Du Shulan. Du Shulan wanted to say something, but her husband pulled her away and covered her mouth.
Seeing this, the two police officers immediately stepped forward, grabbed Zhou Siyun's hands, and handcuffed her. "Mr. Zhou, we'll be leaving now. Thank you for your understanding."
Zhou Siyun struggled and cried out at the top of her lungs, "Grandpa, Dad, Mom, you have to save me, you have to save me." Her voice grew softer and softer until it could no longer be heard.
The atmosphere in the Zhou family's living room was heavy, with only Du Shulan sobbing. Old Master Zhou's face remained calm, but when he thought about what the policeman had said—that the victims were from the Huang and Gu families—he felt a lump in his throat, almost unable to breathe.
"Renli, go to the police station and find out what happened. The policeman just said the victims were two female college students. The one from the Gu family is Mo Yue and Mo Ting's newlywed wife. But the Huang family doesn't have any girls. Go and find out how this is related to the Huang family."
Zhou Renli was the eldest son of the Zhou family and also Zhou Siyun's father. Upon hearing his father's instructions, Zhou Renli immediately got up to go to the police station. Du Shulan tugged at his sleeve, "Renli, I want to go to the police station too."
Zhou Renli glanced calmly at Du Shulan and said, "You can stay home and I'll go alone. This matter is already chaotic enough. You should stay at home and not cause any more trouble for the family."
Du Shulan continued to pester him, but Old Master Zhou couldn't stand it anymore. "Enough, Du Shulan, stop being unreasonable. This is not the time for you to act recklessly. Don't you know the Huang family? One Huang Zhenhua can bring our Zhou family to ruin."
Zhou Siyun was taken to the police station and kept making a fuss, refusing to cooperate. It wasn't until the police brought in Zhu Yan and the four thugs that Zhou Siyun finally quieted down. Now it was no use for her to argue; all the witnesses were there.
One policeman held a notebook and pen, while the other looked at Zhou Siyun. "Can you confess now? We've brought all the witnesses."
Zhou Siyun sat in the chair, knowing she wouldn't confess unless she was absolutely certain of the crime. She thought her family would definitely save her, and her mother would surely find a way. This gave Zhou Siyun some confidence; after all, confessing would still get her out of jail. "Officer, I'll confess."
Seeing Zhou Siyun's sudden cooperation, the police immediately got to work. "Zhou Siyun, why did you hire someone to murder Su Xingran and Xiao Xue? As far as we know, the three of you don't know each other."
“They don’t know me, but I know them. Xiao Xue stole Brother Mo Ting, which made my cousin heartbroken. Su Xingran also wanted to steal Brother Mo Li, whom I like. I just want to teach them a lesson.”
When Zhou Siyun spoke of Su Xinghe and Xiao Xue, her expression remained one of anger and resentment. This left the two policemen speechless; it turned out it was all because of love.
After asking some questions, the police learned the whole story and all the necessary inquiries. Zhou Siyun confessed. Mission accomplished, the two policemen breathed a sigh of relief. Now it was just a matter of the three powerful figures fighting it out.
Zhou Renli rushed to the police station to inquire about the news. The policeman who had interrogated Zhou Siyun earlier told him directly that Zhou Siyun had confessed.
"Comrade Zhou, Zhou Siyun has confessed to the charges against her and revealed her motive for hiring someone to commit murder. According to her, Comrade Xiao Xue stole the person her cousin liked. Comrade Su Xingran also wanted to steal the person Zhou Siyun liked."
