Chapter 328: Being fooled
"No." Xie Shiyuan answered without hesitation.
Zhou Zongzheng smiled with satisfaction and said, "You have to protect yourself. I hope that when I get out one day, I can still see you safe and sound." After that, he left with the police.
Xie Shiyuan: “…”
This is called diverting conflicts. Waiting for the moment when everyone is leaderless, whoever jumps out first to attack her will be the traitor.
Zhou Zongzhen was so high-profile and kept her by his side every day. Everyone in the Zhou Group, including the Zhou family, knew her.
No one knew where Xie Tingke was, and she was alone in the empty villa area.
As night falls, it becomes silent and quiet, like a spooky haunted house.
Xie Shiyuan felt the pairs of eyes staring at her secretly, and she had reached the limit of her patience.
On the verge of breaking out!
The window suddenly exploded!
The killer in night clothes dropped from the sky and his bullet broke the glass window.
Xie Shiyuan used the sofa as cover to avoid the initial attack.
In the chaos, she heard a voice saying, "Catch her alive! If that woman dies, she'll be useless!"
Bang bang bang!
The sound of gunfire never ceases!
After a while, the gunfire stopped.
Under the moonlight, a cold light flashed, revealing a sharp murderous intent.
The killer suddenly stabbed at the sofa!
Unexpectedly, there was no "swish" sound of the blade entering the body. Where the killer stood, the moonlight cast a soft halo, and the ground was empty, without even a human figure.
...
The police station is brightly lit.
While Zhou Zongzhen was being questioned, a young man stood beside him, respectfully holding a tablet in his hand and playing a video clip.
If Xie Shiyuan was present, he would have discovered that this was the surveillance video of the villa area. Zhou Zongzheng got the news as soon as the killers broke in through the window and watched the scene with great interest.
"She runs faster than a rabbit. She didn't get caught. She really lived up to my expectations." Zhou Zongzheng smiled. Very good. A woman who doesn't need him to worry about her safety, a woman who doesn't need his protection, is worthy of special treatment.
"The cabinet minister was very quick. As soon as you left, they sent people to arrest Miss Xie. They are really crazy. They actually wanted to use Miss Xie to threaten you." The man sneered, "Master, it's a good thing you were on guard against them. This group of despicable villains accepted your political donations while asking people to secretly take photos of you and shamelessly reported you for bribery! If you cut off their donations, they will wag their tails like dogs and beg for your support."
"I've been very busy lately, so I just happened to take a few days off at the police station." Zhou Zongzheng curled the corners of his lips and looked calmly at the policemen opposite him.
The police officers felt guilty and took out the photos. "Mr. Zhou, regarding your bribery..."
"Shhh."
Zhou Zongzheng narrowed his deep eyes and put his slender fingers to his lips.
Upon seeing this, the police officers all shut up, as if they were filled with fear from the bottom of their hearts about this man's every move.
The bright light illuminated the entire interrogation room, and it was extremely dazzling.
The man smiled with those captivating eyes, a strange light, extremely tempting.
"Didn't the cabinet minister tell you that you must do everything you can to convict me based on just a few photos? But he forgot to tell you that the person in the photo is not me."
"What did you say?" The police officers were shocked. Upon hearing this, they uncontrollably picked up the photos in their hands and looked at them.
The shooting environment was dim, but everyone knew Zhou Zongzhen's face. His temperament was like the legendary devil. He wore a black suit, was very abstinent, and looked like a cold thug.
"Mr. Zhou, please open your eyes and look carefully. Who else could it be but you? If you don't recognize yourself, you might as well ask your men to take a look." The policemen showed their best attitude. Zhou Zongzhen is not an ordinary person. If it were anyone else, they would not have such good conditions to have a men around them who could make tea and light cigarettes.
Zhou Zongzheng's nonchalant attitude made people who didn't know him think he was on vacation.
A strange smile appeared on his lips. "The person in the photo is not me, but the police officers insisted it was me. Does this count as intimidation? If you ever enter the prison, don't blame me for not reminding you."
"The person in the photo...is it me?"
...
The person in the photo is not Zhou Zongzheng!
If we talk about the two brothers of the Zhou family who are still alive, who has perfectly inherited Mrs. Zhou's cunning and insidiousness, it must be Zhou Zongzhen.
Winning at every step.
Before the crisis comes, we can imagine the most dangerous situation and avoid getting stuck in the quagmire.
The allegation that Zhou Zongzhen bribed officials is totally untrue.
In the photos released by the media, the person in the photo looks a bit like Zhou Zongzhen, but he is not Zhou Zongzhen at all. Looking closely, that person is just the same height and body shape as Zhou Zongzhen, and their appearances look very similar at first glance, but if you look closely, you can still see the difference in their facial features.
That's a stand-in.
Large and mysterious families all have the habit of cultivating substitutes, that is, letting the other party take the blame and die in their place.
Zhou Zongzhen also has a stand-in who looks very similar to him, but that stand-in was expelled from the Zhou family a long time ago and his whereabouts are still unknown.
The so-called bribe was nothing more than Zhou Zongzhen's enemy finding someone who looked very similar to Zhou Zongzhen and taking a photo of him.
Because Zhou Zongzhen was not at the scene that night, he had witnesses and evidence to prove that he was present at other occasions.
"How could it not be him!" The cabinet chief was furious, "It must be Zhou Zongzheng, I saw him enter the box with my own eyes! Unless——"
Someone replied angrily, "Zhou Zongzheng knew that we would take photos of him taking bribes to threaten him that day. He went out for a while, and took advantage of the darkness in the box to replace him with someone who looked exactly like him."
"That explains why he is so fearless!"
"Oh no! Zhou Zongzheng must have already noticed our spy! We thought he was under our surveillance, but he actually used his spy to figure out our purpose!"
"He followed the police and took this opportunity to find out who in the group was plotting a rebellion!"
"He pushed Xie Shiyuan out and used that woman to divert our attention! We were fooled!"
They were not the only ones who were fooled. There were also...
In the dark night, the wind howled, the branches swayed, and only faint lights flickered in the darkness.
It is located in a remote, damp and dark alley. It is not that remote actually, as the bustling city center is not far away. However, the dirtiness and mess here form a sharp contrast with the cleanliness and tidiness of the city center.
People passing by here are often gangsters and people of the lowest class.
