The bed beside me said, "I was just watching the show. I got dragged into it by mistake!" "I really wasn't with them!"
Because of her recent injury, Chen's mother's face was pale.
Even the police hesitated for a moment. As for Gang Ge and his gang, they had a criminal record before and had been careful in their actions over the years. If they hadn't been so eager to pull off a big job this time, they wouldn't have taken the risk and been caught.
This woman indeed has no criminal record...
Just as the group was struggling with their problem, Lu Yunzhi's voice came in: "She has never committed a crime, but she has a grudge against our family, so it's normal for her to want to find someone to harm us."
“She and Gang’s group were partners; otherwise, it’s hard to explain why only Chen’s mother wasn’t drugged, and why Gang chose her as the first person to kidnap.”
"This only proves that she's trying to put on a melodramatic show to mislead us and leave her alone to continue her misdeeds outside!"
Lu Yunzhi's outburst left Chen's mother dumbfounded.
No, when did she start playing the victim? She was genuinely cut!
So, Chen's mother explained to them, "I really didn't mean it. If you don't believe me, you can ask Brother Gang!"
Chen's mother dared to say this because she was certain that Gang wouldn't say anything more. After all, she hadn't done anything to them; her true intention was simply to help Gang.
Upon learning the news, the police officers on this side also went to the police station to interrogate Gang Ge, and Lu Yunzhi went with them.
At the police station.
Gang's face was full of resentment. "Since they've already arrested me, what else is there to ask? I did this whole thing by myself from beginning to end. The other brothers were just helping out; they didn't actually carry it out."
He's been in the underworld for a long time, but he's only been doing this for two or three years.
In those years, the brothers around him followed him because they wanted to make money, but they were also genuinely good to him.
Now that something has happened, Gang would rather take the blame himself than implicate his brothers.
"We're not here to ask you these questions." Lu Yunzhi didn't want to say another word to him and went straight to the point: "What's your relationship with the woman you kidnapped that day?"
"That woman?" Gang Ge immediately thought of Chen's mother's face, and his eyes flashed with clear anger.
If this woman hadn't told him there was a stunningly beautiful woman in the next carriage, he wouldn't have taken the risk with the idea of making another fortune, and he wouldn't have met this man in front of him.
Gang Ge reasonably suspected that the woman was actually an undercover agent sent by the man in front of him, waiting for him to fall into a trap so that they could all be caught in one fell swoop!
"What's our relationship?" Gang scoffed. "Don't you know perfectly well?"
Lu Yunzhi calmly moved a chair over and sat down opposite Gang Ge. "She is one of the masterminds behind your scheme. Because she had a grudge against us, she deliberately attacked us. Logically, she should be punished the same as you."
Lu Yunzhi's slow voice reached Gang Ge's ears. Gang Ge looked up and met Lu Yunzhi's unfathomable eyes. Suddenly, as if he had seen through something, Gang Ge laughed loudly.
"Yes, she was part of the mastermind behind it all; everyone was following her orders."
"Yes. We did the dirty work for her, and she got away scot-free in the end!" Gang Ge said in one breath.
Since his confession and imprisonment were already a foregone conclusion, he certainly didn't mind dragging that woman into it as well!
Lu Yunzhi nodded slightly and said to the policeman next to him, "Brother Zhao, we have a pretty good understanding of the situation."
"Alright, you go back and stay with your sister-in-law. We'll handle the rest."
"Yes," said the policeman surnamed Zhao. He explained that he and Lu Yunzhi were close comrades-in-arms. After both of them retired from the military, Lu Yunzhi returned to his hometown, while Zhao stayed at the local police station.
He was on duty at the station when he received a call from Lu Yunzhi, informing him that he had encountered human traffickers. Upon hearing this, he immediately led his former comrades to the scene to rescue the people and capture the traffickers.
This is also why Lu Yunzhi was able to agree to Gang Ge's request on the train.
This is where he used to serve in the army, and most of his friends stayed here. He also needs to contact and handle things at the factory, so he carries his mobile phone with him. Asking for help is a good idea.
However, simply sending Chen's mother to prison along with Gang Ge was clearly not the most satisfactory approach for Lu Yunzhi at the moment.
With that in mind, he didn't hesitate to explain Chen's mother's family situation to Brother Zhao, "She's going south this time, and there's another person traveling with her..."
Meanwhile, Chen's mother, who was resting in the ward, was furious when she learned of this.
"Do you think you can just believe whatever you say? Do you even have a brain?" Ignoring the pain from her wounds, Chen's mother shouted frantically at the police, "I've hardly ever left Cuishui Village before, how can I be considered their accomplice?"
The policeman guarding Chen's mother helplessly covered his ears. "Didn't you go to the South a few times before?"
Upon hearing this, Chen's mother was speechless. She had indeed been to the South, but not to do these things with Gang Ge; she had gone to see her daughter!
The police officer added, "And your family used to be the wealthiest in the village, right? Without some extra source of income, how could your family have lived so well given the village's generally poverty?"
"That...that's because..." Chen's mother blushed with anxiety. She wanted to say something in her defense, but she couldn't utter a word.
