Chapter 219 Entanglement
At the same time, Jiang Zheng was anxious as he rushed to the Municipal Public Security Bureau.
Looking at the phone that had not been picked up, Jiang Zheng murmured, "Hurry up and answer the phone! Answer the phone."
Jiang Zheng's mind was in a state of confusion.
Why didn’t Zhong Yinghong answer the phone? Could it be that she has been detained by the police and her cell phone confiscated? But she had clearly answered the last call. Could it be because she knew he had a lover and a child outside, so...
When Jiang Zheng thought that Zhong Yinghong might turn love into hate and tell the truth to the police, he wanted to jump up and slap Zhong Yinghong a few times. It’s already this late, and you still care so much about where he slept last night! What's wrong with finding a lover? Which wealthy business boss today doesn’t have a mistress? Who doesn’t have a home away from home? Why is Zhong Yinghong so persistent?
Just as I was daydreaming, the phone was suddenly picked up.
Jiang Zheng didn't react for a while, but he heard Zhong Yinghong's tired voice from the other end: "Jiang Zheng, what's the matter?"
Jiang Zheng? Zhong Yinghong usually calls me "husband", why is her tone so cold and distant this time?
Jiang Zheng felt as if something was gripping his heart, and his breathing was a little difficult.
He tried to suppress his inner irritation and made his voice gentler: "I've already taken a taxi. It will take about 20 minutes to get to your place. Don't be afraid, honey. I'll take care of everything."
Zhong Yinghong said: "Jiang Zheng, I'm not afraid, I just can't figure out some things."
Jiang Zheng stayed overnight at Ke Jie's house last night. Because he was afraid of being discovered by his wife, he didn't even drive the car. He sent the driver back early on the pretext of having a social engagement. Now sitting in the back seat of the taxi, Jiang Zheng felt much more at ease after confirming that the police did not confiscate Zhong Yinghong's mobile phone. At the very least, this sends a signal: the police do not have solid evidence and cannot arrest and interrogate Zhong Yinghong.
Jiang Zheng put the phone close to his ear and coaxed his wife softly, "What's the matter?"
Zhong Yinghong's hoarse voice sounded a bit harsh over the phone: "We are from the same village, went to elementary school together, and went to junior high school together. Obviously, my junior high school grades were better than yours, so why can you continue to study in high school and take the college entrance examination, while I can only drop out of school and go out to work?"
Jiang Zheng didn't know why his wife suddenly said these words, and frowned: "It's like this in the village. We are already married, and what's mine is yours. I went to college, isn't it the same as you going to college? What's the point of saying this now?"
Zhong Yinghong was very stubborn: "No, what's yours is yours, but what's mine may not be mine. I just want to ask for clarification, is that not okay?"
Jiang Zhengzhen didn't think there was anything wrong with this, but he noticed that Zhong Yinghong was in a bad mood, so he could only perfunctorily say, "Everyone in the village is like this."
"Is it right to do this?" Zhong Yinghong's voice became louder. Jiang Zheng had to hold the phone farther away and explained, "Girls will always get married in the future. What's the point of reading so many books?"
Zhong Yinghong sneered: "Who told you that it's useless for girls to study? If you study, you can see more, understand more, find a better job, and have more choices!"
Jiang Zheng had no choice but to surrender: "Yes, yes, you are right. It is definitely useful for girls to study. Our parents also want to support all their children, but the family does not have much money, so we have to leave someone to do farm work to earn money, right?"
Zhong Yinghong was so angry that her face turned red: "So, the money and resources are left to the boys, and the dirty work is left to the girls! Jiang Zheng, you are a man, so you always speak for men!"
Jiang Zheng was also very angry, his temples throbbing: "What time is it now! Why are you bringing up the things that happened when you were fourteen? Does this make sense?"
Zhong Yinghong shouted, "It makes sense! This has always been a thorn in my heart! Obviously I am better at studying and making more money, but just because I am a girl and you are a boy, you can go to high school, but I have to drop out of school to work. We fell in love, I accompanied you to study in Xing City, and worked to earn money for your living expenses. You graduated from college and found a stable job in Xing City, but the salary was not high, and the betrothal money was all earned by me to give to my parents! But even so, everyone in the village praised you for your ability and promising future. When it's my turn, they just say I'm so lucky to be able to marry you."
Although Jiang Zheng is from the countryside, he has been favored since childhood and everything has gone smoothly for him. He has always had a sense of authority in front of Zhong Yinghong. Now, from what she said, it seems that he is inferior to her in every way, but he has taken advantage of her. His self-esteem is damaged and he gets angry: "Zhong Yinghong, you have to understand that this is how the world is! If it weren't for me, what could you, a woman, accomplish?"
"Haha..." Zhong Yinghong's laughter was bitter, "Without you, I can still earn money by working to settle down."
Jiang Zheng felt that it was foolish for Zhong Yinghong to still care about these things at this time: "How much money can you make from working? Can you live in a villa, drive a luxury car, and live a good life like now?"
Zhong Yinghong paused for a moment, and then replied after a while: "You think it's a good life? Living in that deserted villa every day, not knowing when you can go home, do you think such a life is interesting? Oh, that's right, you have a wife who knows you well and gave birth to a son for you, and a beautiful lover who coaxes you with sweet words, so of course you think this life is good, extremely good."
Jiang Zheng wanted to smash his phone!
This stupid woman, with only love in her mind, has been taken to the police station for questioning, but she is still pestering him and has to lead the topic to the matter of him having a lover.
If he had known that this matter would make her care so much, Jiang Zheng would have hidden his lover deeper. I don’t know which blind person leaked the information, it’s so hateful!
"That woman outside is just a toy for men to entertain themselves. How can she compare to you? Yinghong, don't waste your time and energy on this matter."
If it were usual, Jiang Zheng would have hung up the phone and walked away long ago. After all, women always suffer in such situations. Zhong Yinghong has been married to him for more than ten years, and their son is already ten years old. The social relationship between the two has long been inseparable. Forget about getting a divorce. Let her quarrel and make a fuss for a few days, and then coax her and they will naturally reconcile as before.
But today is different.
Zhong Yinghong was in the police station, and Xia Mufan was standing beside her, watching her intently. How could Jiang Zheng dare to anger Zhong Yinghong?
Zhong Yinghong is different from him. She has little self-confidence and is almost trying to please her family. She has a dedicated personality. He was able to graduate successfully during his four years of college thanks to Zhong Yinghong's financial support, and later on, she was the one who helped him in the human trafficking business. Zhong Yinghong has been very kind to him, and he could never abandon her.
Thinking of this, Jiang Zheng's tone softened and he said apologetically, "Yinghong, I was wrong this time. I must break up with that woman completely and concentrate on living with you from now on, okay? Don't be angry. I'll be sad if you get angry and hurt yourself."
Jiang Zheng's previous words made Zhong Yinghong feel a little better, but when she heard the last sentence, she immediately became angry again: "My health is broken, you really feel sorry for me? Isn't my throat all thanks to you? The side effects of that medicine are so serious, and you still dare to let me take it, are you still a human being? I have been having severe chest pain these days, you are not going to kill me and find a young and beautiful wife, are you?"
Jiang Zheng really wanted to run to Zhong Yinghong at the speed of light, cover her mouth tightly and stop her from talking nonsense.
Can you tell the police about your hoarse voice caused by drugs in front of them? This Zhong Yinghong is really out of her mind!
But now, over the phone, Jiang Zheng was helpless. He gritted his teeth, lowered his voice and tried to coax her: "Yinghong, don't get me wrong. How could I know that the drug had side effects? Didn't we agree on this? You agreed at the time, so you can't just blame me, right?"
Jiang Zheng originally wanted to say something nice, but unexpectedly, with a "click", Zhong Yinghong hung up the phone.
how so?
Zhong Yinghong has lacked love since childhood, and she would stand with Jiang Zheng without hesitation as long as Jiang Zheng coaxed her a few words. When the idea of human trafficking was first proposed, Zhong Yinghong disagreed, but when Jiang Zheng said he wanted to make money to buy a house and give his son a better life, she nodded.
Jiang Zheng looked at the hung-up call and kept urging the driver: "Drive faster! Drive faster!"
The driver stepped on the brakes: "Red light."
Jiang Zheng threw two hundred yuan over and said, "Don't worry about it. Let's go."
The driver shook his head and said, "I don't have enough points to deduct from my driver's license. Please don't make things difficult for me, sir."
Jiang Zheng didn't expect that the driver would refuse to make money even though he had the chance. He was so angry that he kicked the front seat. Oh shit! It’s a bad year and everything goes wrong!
On the other side, in the interrogation room, Zhong Yinghong fell into a long silence.
Xia Mufan didn't urge him either.
She has said everything she needs to say, and the rest depends on Zhong Yinghong's decision.
If she chooses to continue to collude with Jiang Zheng, then when Jiang Zheng is arrested, she will probably have to bear all the charges. The most Jiang Zheng did was to sell Jia Xihua's son to his cousin and make a profit of two thousand yuan. If Jia Xihua could forgive him, he wouldn't be in prison for long.
The person who contacted the human traffickers was Zhong Yinghong, with her face covered. The person who is called "Sister Hua" in public is also Zhong Yinghong. As the external liaison leader of a human trafficking gang, Zhong Yinghong could not escape a three-year prison sentence. No one can tell what kind of treatment she will receive in prison. There is also a chain of contempt among criminals. People like Zhong Yinghong, who has a son but acts as a matchmaker to sell children, are at the bottom of the chain and will probably not escape being excluded and suppressed.
After seeing Cai Yutie limping while washing the car, Zhong Yinghong should have been more or less touched, right?
One minute, two minutes, three minutes...
In the silent room, the only sound was that of Xia Mufan sorting out documents.
Suddenly, Zhong Yinghong raised her head, her eyes were red and there was a hint of madness in them: "Officer Xia, I want to surrender myself."
Success! Xia Mufan's heart skipped a beat, but he controlled his facial expression and said calmly, "Okay, you go ahead."
Zhong Yinghong raised her head, looking at the snow-white ceiling, her legs stretched straight, her body leaning against the chair, and a low laugh came from her throat.
"It's better to send him to jail than to watch him live happily outside!"
"I did so much for him, but he took it all for granted. Finding a lover, having children, I worked hard for four years to support his studies, and this is what he ended up with!"
"Didn't he say that a woman can't do anything without a man? I'll show him what a crazy woman can do!"
