Is Chapter 441 worth it?
"If you bring him here, I'll say the same thing."
Liu Yue stubbornly refused to admit any connection with Jin Nan, saying, "If you insist that I did it, then I did it, and it has nothing to do with anyone else."
After saying that, he raised his head with a cold face, looked at Yao Jianshu, and gritted his teeth.
He said, "Yao Jianshu, don't try to frame Jin Nan just because you have a personal grudge against him. Jin Nan has been with Vice Minister Li for three years and is about to graduate and enter the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. If you want to ruin him and steal his spot, Vice Minister Li would have been right to kick you out long ago!"
"How do you know I have a personal grudge against Jin Nan?" Yao Jianshu's eyes flickered as he watched Liu Yue's reaction.
Liu Yue pursed her lips, turning her head away from Yao Jianshu, "...What Zhao Shucheng said, he made such a big scene that day, everyone knew about it, a little deduction would tell you. You are all graduate students of Vice Minister Li, and you, a first-year graduate student, became an interviewer and team leader through connections, and now you're acting all high and mighty. Now that something's happened, you're looking for someone to take the blame, dragging Jin Nan into it, isn't that killing two birds with one stone? No, it's killing three birds with one stone! Jin Nan is gone, Zhao Shucheng is gone, you're really clever..."
Yao Jianshu smiled, but the smile didn't reach his eyes.
She wasn't angry, but looked at Liu Yue with a complicated expression. "So I'm that powerful in your heart? You're quite capable of making up so many excuses to drag me into this cesspool and desperately trying to get rid of Jin Nan. That's pretty impressive."
"……I don't."
Liu Yue turned to look at Yao Jianshu, but upon seeing his gaze, she hurriedly looked away, angrily saying, "Don't even think about getting the things you want to hear from me. I'm the one who did it..."
Sister-in-law Yao is furious with Liu Yue.
He spoke up, "Liu Yue! You've really lost your mind! Whether Yao Jianshu is an interviewer or a team leader, her abilities are obvious to all, she's capable of it! On the contrary, you're gossiping about your colleague for a man? Liu Yue, are you that kind of person? I've worked with you for years, how come I didn't know you were like this?!"
“That’s just who I am,” Liu Yue said, her neck stiff.
Sister-in-law Yao glared at her fiercely, her eyes full of disappointment and exasperation. "How long are you going to be so stubborn? You're ruining your future with your own hands! Do you even know what you're doing?!"
Liu Yue's face turned deathly pale in an instant, and she bit her lip and looked away.
He said, “Deputy Director Cao, you don’t need to provoke me. I know what I’m doing. I’ll take responsibility for my actions. This whole thing was done out of jealousy and resentment. You… don’t drag innocent people into this.”
Seeing her stubborn and unyielding attitude, Sister-in-law Yao felt a pang of anger in her chest. She was both heartbroken and furious, unable to swallow her anger.
Seeing her people being brainwashed by Jin Nan so silently, she really wanted to crack open this brat's skull to see what Jin Nan had said to her!
Sister-in-law Yao angrily said, "If this man cared about you even a little bit, he wouldn't have let you shoulder everything alone. He's just using you as a tool to kill! Now that you're a tool stained with blood, he hasn't come to see you once since the incident. What does that mean? His whole family has abandoned you! Liu Yue, wake up!"
Liu Yue's face was pale, and she bit her lip, repeating the same words.
"Arrest me if you want. I'll take responsibility for my own actions. Don't drag innocent people into this..."
Sister-in-law Yao was both angry and helpless, so angry that she couldn't breathe. Her hand trembled as she pointed at Liu Yue, "You...you're hopeless."
Yao Jianshu looked at Deputy Regiment Commander Luan.
Deputy Regiment Commander Luan shook his head slightly.
He had no other choice.
They haven't found any evidence yet. Although Liu Yue admitted that she did it, without physical evidence, if Liu Yue changes her story, the matter will be very difficult to handle later and will involve many people.
It's safe to say that none of the people in charge of the investment promotion conference can escape responsibility.
"Deputy Captain Luan!"
Just then, a voice came from outside the ward. A soldier walked in quickly and whispered a few words in Deputy Regiment Commander Luan's ear. Deputy Regiment Commander Luan's eyes lit up and he glanced at Liu Yue.
"Let's go outside and talk."
Deputy Regiment Commander Luan called Yao's sister-in-law over, and the two walked out of the ward together. The soldier saluted and began to explain the purpose of their visit to the hospital.
"...Zhao Shucheng was under guard for a day. He suddenly told us that he had something to tell Deputy Captain Luan. He wanted to know where he bought his croton powder and there was another detail about Jin Nan. But he wanted to see Deputy Captain Luan first. He said he would only wait for an hour and would not wait for him after that."
Deputy Regiment Commander Luan and Sister-in-law Yao exchanged a glance and asked the soldier, "How much time has passed?"
"Twenty minutes," the soldier said.
Deputy Regiment Commander Luan turned to leave, and Sister-in-law Yao turned to instruct the service team leader, "Before we come back, you stay at the hospital and don't let Liu Yue have any contact with anyone."
"Okay." The service team leader nodded.
Sister-in-law Yao looked into the house, exchanged a glance with her sister-in-law Yao Jianshu, and then quickly caught up with Deputy Regiment Commander Luan.
As the two left the ward and spoke quietly in the corridor, Liu Yue sat up, tilting her ear to try and hear more, but only vaguely caught a few scattered words.
"...Confess...the croton powder...about Jin Nan...no time to wait..."
Her face changed drastically. She straightened up, grabbed the blanket, and tried to get out of bed, but Yao Jianshu blocked her way. "Liu Yue, you're not fully recovered yet. What are you trying to do?"
"Get out of my way! I told you I did it all by myself, why are you making things difficult for innocent people? Tell them to come back..." Liu Yue looked at Yao Jianshu, somewhat flustered.
Yao Jianshu sighed and said, "Look at the door, there are soldiers surrounding it. Even if I move aside, you can't get out. Besides, you know better than anyone who is innocent."
Liu Yue remained silent.
Yao Jianshu continued, "Liu Yue, the words I said to you earlier were sincere. You are good-looking and capable. Given time, your achievements will not be inferior to Jin Nan's. Although Jin Nan is quite capable and has the halo of being a graduate student of Vice Minister Li, his character is flawed. He can take advantage of you today, but he can also discard you like trash for personal gain tomorrow. Moreover, you have already been exposed. What Vice Minister Cao said earlier was not without reason. A person like him who only thinks of himself will only sever ties with you and pretend that he never knew you. Is it really worth it for you to ruin your future for him?"
Liu Yue clenched her hands tightly, her nails turning white from the force!
Her lips were almost pressed into a straight line.
Yao Jianshu waited for a long time without getting a reply. When she saw the service team leader waving at her, she shook her head and was about to leave when she suddenly heard Liu Yue speak behind her.
