"Commander Long's plan?"
Zhou Quanfu was taken aback, then shook his head vigorously, "I don't know, he didn't say, I just did what he instructed."
"Still won't tell, huh?"
Wang Qian's face darkened further. "It seems you won't confess unless we take you to court!"
"What we said is true!"
Zhou Quanfu, flustered and at a loss, tried to explain: "All we know is that as long as we trick Yuanyuan into drinking this bottle of poison, Commander Long will give us 200,000 yuan."
Chen Jingying chimed in, "We really didn't lie this time, please believe me!"
Wang Qian didn't press further, but instead glanced at Zhou Yuanyuan.
The fear and anxiety on Zhou Quanfu and Chen Jingying's faces didn't seem feigned; they were genuinely terrified.
In this situation, the other party is unlikely to be lying.
The more this happened, the more he sympathized with Zhou Yuanyuan.
It's unknown what kind of poison Long Shuai gave them, or whether it would kill anyone. Yet, Zhou Quanfu and Chen Jingying actually agreed to give it to their daughter, Zhou Yuanyuan, for 200,000 yuan.
Such a vicious heart is not only unworthy of being a parent, but worse than a beast.
Even tigers don't eat their cubs.
Zhou Quanfu and Chen Jingying's actions truly demonstrated the coldness and ruthlessness of human nature to the fullest extent.
How could you do this?
Sure enough, after a brief moment of shock, Zhou Yuanyuan shouted in grief and rage, "I am your daughter! How could you want to poison me?"
"Yuanyuan, I..."
Zhou Quanfu wanted to make a few excuses, but he couldn't bring himself to say them.
The facts are clear, and no matter how he tries to argue, no one will believe him.
Chen Jingying also lowered her head and apologized repeatedly, "Yuanyuan, I'm sorry, your father and I were confused for a moment, that's why..."
"Enough! I don't have beastly parents like you. Don't ever call me your daughter again!"
Zhou Yuanyuan roared, "From today onwards, I have nothing to do with you anymore, and your life or death is none of my concern."
She spoke those words with a poignant and resolute tone, as if making a vow.
Zhou Quanfu and Chen Jingying looked embarrassed.
They didn't try to apologize or explain; they just kept their heads down.
Even the most inhuman people find it difficult to face Zhou Yuanyuan at this moment.
Seemingly unwilling to be stared at like a prisoner, Chen Jingying quietly raised her head and weakly defended herself, "We were forced into it too."
"Forced?"
Zhou Yuanyuan laughed, a laugh as shrill as the howl of a wild beast, "If you weren't so greedy, who could force you?"
"Yuanyuan, we are so poor!"
Chen Jingying said pitifully, "You know your dad is a gambler, he..."
"shut up!"
Zhou Yuanyuan pointed at Chen Jingying and roared, "From now on, you are not allowed to call me by my name again. I am not your daughter, do you hear me?"
Chen Jingying trembled, nodded slightly, and said in a trembling voice, "Okay, I...we understand!"
Although Zhou Quanfu did not say anything, he nodded emphatically as well.
"Being born of you and making you my parents in name is the greatest sorrow and shame of my life!"
Zhou Yuanyuan said this with grief and indignation, then looked at Wang Qian with tears in her eyes, "I don't want to see them again. You can deal with it yourselves."
As she spoke, she covered her face with her hands, sobbing as she rushed into the dormitory building.
"Yuanyuan!"
Yao Xishui called out, preparing to chase after her to comfort her, but Huang Bo pulled her back, saying, "Let her go, she needs to be alone for a while."
"All right!"
Yao Xishui also knew that Zhou Yuanyuan had suffered such a huge blow and her mind must be in complete chaos. Under such circumstances, she would definitely not listen to any words of comfort.
The only way for Zhou Yuanyuan to emerge from despair and sorrow is through her own efforts.
"Tell me the whole story from beginning to end!"
Wang Qian's deep, murderous voice rang out, "If you dare to conceal or distort anything again, I can assure you, you will be brought to court tomorrow to face the most severe trial!"
The voice was firm and resolute, filled with an irresistible force.
Zhou Quanfu and Chen Jingying were so frightened that they trembled all over.
Wang Qian's eyes were so sharp they looked like he wanted to kill someone, and his tone of voice was like the roar of a wild beast.
They had no doubt that if Wang Qian discovered that they had concealed anything or deliberately distorted something, he would never give them a second chance.
Next, the two of them recounted the whole story, one after the other.
Although the two men were illiterate and their descriptions were often inaccurate, Wang Qian, having grown up in the countryside, naturally understood everything they said.
"After all this, has it all come back to the Liu family?"
After listening to Zhou Quanfu and his wife's account, Wang Qian couldn't help but sigh.
According to Zhou Quanfu and Chen Jingying, some time ago, Long Shuai suddenly contacted them and revealed that Zhou Yuanyuan was working at Niangui Roasted Green Pepper Sauce Company.
In addition, Long Shuai also encouraged her, saying that Zhou Yuanyuan had a close relationship with him, her boss, and that if she came and caused trouble, she would definitely be able to swindle a lot of money.
Upon hearing that they could scam money, Zhou Quanfu and his wife became incredibly excited, as if they had been injected with adrenaline.
Sure enough, after the couple came to cause trouble on the first day, they not only swindled 500 yuan from the boss, but on their way back, their daughter Zhou Yuanyuan stopped them and gave them another 500 yuan. She also promised to give them 500 yuan every month until they had given them a total of 20,000 yuan.
