Zheng Xue froze almost instantly, staring blankly at Tang Wan, muttering, "You, you're trespassing."
"What you're doing is illegal."
Tang Wan nodded, not denying Zheng Xue's statement, but still saying, "Special times call for special treatment."
“I will apologize for trespassing, but your actions of confining others, violently bullying them, and…”
"Stop talking!" Zheng Xue quickly stopped Tang Wan when she heard that she was about to continue, and shouted, "Stop talking!"
Her eyes even revealed a hint of pleading, as if she didn't want Tang Wan to continue.
Tang Wan looked at Zheng Xue with a complicated expression, but still gave Zheng Xue a final bit of dignity.
only……
"Stop right there! You're just taking us away like this?! Is there no law anymore?!"
Zheng Xue actually intended to use this approach to dissuade Tang Wan from the very beginning.
However……
When she heard what Tang Wan had just said, she knew it was all too late.
The police officers who came in from outside took Zheng Xue and her father away, leaving behind a mess.
Ji Helin watched as Zheng Xue was taken away, panting heavily on the spot. He then raised his hand to wipe the cold sweat from his forehead and prepared to walk over to Gong Xiao to help her up.
However, the police officers stopped Ji Helin from doing so.
Seeing their rejection of him, Ji Helin frowned and asked in a somewhat unfriendly tone, "What do you mean by this?"
The officer was not intimidated by his tone, but continued, "Ji, you are suspected of murder. Come with us."
Ji Helin was still in a daze when he was arrested.
But the education he received from the Ji family over the years did not make him panic instantly. Instead, he followed these people, his words filled with unprecedented confidence.
"There might be some misunderstanding. I wasn't involved in their business."
However, the police officers smiled when they heard Ji Helin's words and said meaningfully, "Just because you weren't involved doesn't mean your elders or your family weren't involved. But you're leaving simply because you were here."
Ji Helin immediately understood the meaning of those words, but the anger on his face deepened, and his words were tinged with rage.
"Nonsense, how could our family..."
However, he had only just begun to speak when he suddenly stopped, as if he had thought of something.
In the past, he could have firmly stated that these things had nothing to do with their family.
But over the years, the things the family had done and the things his grandfather had said came flooding back like a tide, making Ji Helin a little flustered.
The words his elders had spoken in his memory suddenly landed firmly and vividly in his heart.
Those words seemed to transform into the sharpest hilt of a knife, instantly stimulating his rational nerves and making him somewhat hysterical.
Ji Helin turned to look at Tang Wan, his voice a little hoarse.
"Tang Wan! You did this on purpose!"
"You deliberately left me here to use me as a hostage!"
"You specifically called me out just to keep Zheng Xue here so you could wipe us all out, right?"
"Tang Wan, I trusted you so much, and this is how you treat me?"
"Our friendship over the years is nothing to you, is that right?"
Ji Helin spoke quickly, and his tears were a sign that if he didn't finish speaking now, he would never have the chance to see Tang Wan again.
Before Tang Wan could say anything, Fu Wenzhi, who was standing next to her, spoke first.
Compared to his usual refined and courteous demeanor, Fu Wenzhi appeared unusually cold at this moment.
The way she looked at Ji Helin was extremely impatient, as if she had seen something dirty.
"Ji Helin, are you trying to morally blackmail me?"
Upon hearing this, Fu Wenzhi chuckled lightly, as if he had said something amusing.
"I don't know if you've ever heard the saying, 'There are no idols before the nation.' Besides, the relationship between you is just an ordinary classmate relationship. Your family has gone astray, and we are only locking you up for the greater good."
“You don’t need to pretend to be so innocent. Even though the Ji family has been so arrogant all these years, you have enjoyed a lot of benefits from being born into such a family. Since you have taken advantage of the family’s conveniences, you should also bear the consequences when you are being retaliated against.”
"It's not that you didn't know you had crossed the line, but the benefits were just too great for you to give up."
"Now that you're saying these things, it seems you know that the mistakes you've made can't be glossed over or let off easily, so you're putting on a show of 'what's the use', which is really quite unsightly."
Fu Wenzhi rarely spoke such a long sentence.
The only thing that usually makes Fu Wenzhi talk for so long is something related to Tangwan.
When Tang Wan heard what Fu Wenzhi said, she knew that she had nothing more to say to Ji Helin, so she prepared to leave with Fu Wenzhi.
Just before she left, Ji Helin suddenly called out to Tang Wan.
"Tang Wan!"
However, the fifteen-year-old boy still couldn't hide his emotions very well.
No matter what posture he adopted, it all seemed like a bluff in front of Tang Wan and Fu Wenzhi, as if he were a blank sheet of paper.
Just like now, he put on a resentful look, but the emotions in his eyes betrayed him.
However, Tang Wan didn't understand what romantic love between men and women was, so she just felt that Ji Helin's gaze was a little strange.
Ji Helin gave Tang Wan a deep look, then lowered his head again without saying a word.
He knew that this parting today would probably mean never seeing each other again in this lifetime.
His voice was somewhat low, and his lowered head obscured his eyes.
Like a wet little dog, it let out its final mournful cry: "It's alright, you can go now."
Tang Wan left.
Gong Xiao was taken to the hospital by Tang Wan and Fu Wenzhi for the whole night. After they finished, it was already three or four in the morning, and it was almost dawn.
Fu Wenzhi followed behind Tang Wan and, seeing that Tang Wan remained silent, realized that Tang Wan was still affected by this matter.
Just as he was about to speak, he heard Tang Wan say, "Can human desires really devour everything?"
"Knowing full well that doing this would break the law, they still went astray for those benefits."
"Are they out of control, or is this just their nature?"
Fu Wenzhi knew that Tang Wan didn't want any answers; she was just feeling somewhat sentimental.
After all, Tang Wan had known a principle since she was very young.
There are only two things in the world that cannot be looked at directly: the sun and the human heart.
