The middle-aged woman sneered.
"Why is it impossible? The evidence is right in front of you, and you still won't believe it?"
Tang Ruanruan's heart pounded like a drum.
No wonder Ye Ningwan wanted to protect these two children so well, no wonder Ye Ruoxin refused to marry, and the Ye family tried every means to trick Ye Ningwan back to marry in her place—it was all because of this!
The thought that Ye Ningwan, who seemed crazy on the surface, was actually suffering so much, almost broke Tang Ruanruan's heart.
She clenched her fist and asked the middle-aged woman.
"If I cooperate with you, can you arrest Pei Fengzhi? How many years can he be sentenced to? Can he get life imprisonment or the death penalty?"
Tang Ruanruan gritted her teeth, wishing Pei Fengzhi would just die right now.
The middle-aged woman was taken aback by the two questions Tang Ruanruan asked. She was clearly surprised that the seemingly gentle Tang Ruanruan could ask such questions, and couldn't help but laugh.
"The old saying is indeed true: a mother's love makes her strong."
"Ms. Tang, rest assured, we will make Pei Fengzhi pay the price he deserves! As for how many years he will serve in prison, that depends on how cooperative you are!"
"It's not convenient to talk here. Why don't you get in the car with us first, and we'll talk on the car."
...
At 4:30 a.m., the entire hillside villa was shrouded in a peaceful tranquility. The sky was overcast, the sun had not yet risen above the horizon, but there was already a faint light in the sky. However, the whole world was still like a pearl covered in dust, with a thin mist that made it difficult to see clearly.
However, four police cars drove onto the private road of the hillside villa at this moment. When the bodyguards stepped forward to stop them, the lead police car stopped, took out its identification, and quietly subdued the bodyguards, removing their headsets.
"Don't move! This is a search warrant. If you make any unnecessary movements, I can charge you with assaulting a police officer and shoot you dead beforehand!"
It was as if everything had been planned in advance, with all public officials having rehearsed beforehand, resulting in such swift and precise action.
And the person in charge turned out to be none other than Luo Rui, the team leader who had been busy with Ye Ningwan's assault case these past few days.
In the master bedroom of the villa on the hillside, Pei Fengzhi seemed to hear a slight noise and subconsciously opened his eyes.
In the darkness, his eyes were as clear and cold as a bottomless pool of ice. He looked up at the ceiling, which was five or six meters high, but there was no emotion in his gaze. His eyes were cold and sharp, and his dark pupils, like those of an eagle, quietly reflected the pale green scenery outside the window that had not yet been lit.
Pei Fengzhi moved slightly, feeling a tightness and pain in his chest, as if a huge boulder was pressing down on him, making it hard to breathe.
He took a deep breath and looked down to see Little Star, who was nestled in his arms, having kicked off her oversized clothes.
The little guy was lying on his chest like a smooth, hairless monkey, sleeping soundly with a snoring sound. His sleeping face was really cute.
A gentle smile flashed in Pei Fengzhi's eyes, and he couldn't help but pinch Xiao Xingxing's soft little face.
As if bitten by a mosquito in his sleep, the little guy immediately raised his little hand and slapped Pei Fengzhi's hand hard.
Pei Fengzhi winced in pain and immediately withdrew his hand, rubbing the red spot on the back of his hand. He looked at Xiao Xingxing, who was scratching his face with her little paws, with a mixture of amusement and exasperation.
At this moment, life is peaceful and tranquil.
The next moment...
A loud crash.
The door to Pei Fengzhi's bedroom was kicked open, and several tall, strong figures rushed in.
Pei Fengzhi sat up, holding Xiaoxing, and had just tucked Xiaoxing back into the blanket when several dark gun barrels were already pressed against his forehead.
"stop!"
"Don't move!"
"Hands up!"
Pei Fengzhi didn't take these people seriously, but at this moment, Xiao Xingxing in the quilt moved. Pei Fengzhi was worried that he might accidentally hurt Xiao Xingxing if he moved too much, so he didn't dare to move anymore, obediently raised his hands to surrender, and was escorted off the bed by several guns.
Luo Rui stepped forward, grabbed a bathrobe from the sofa, and tossed it to Pei Fengzhi. His hawk-like, triangular eyes were filled with disdain and contempt.
"Ninth Master, put your clothes on properly. You don't want to be led all the way back to the Municipal Bureau naked like this, do you?"
Pei Fengzhi smiled, took the bathrobe that Luo Rui tossed to him, but didn't wear it. Instead, he casually tossed it back onto the sofa, looked at Luo Rui with a nonchalant expression, and said indifferently.
"What's the difference between being escorted to the city police station in a bathrobe and being escorted back naked? I'm not well-educated, so don't try to fool me, Captain Luo!"
Luo Rui rolled his eyes at Pei Fengzhi, gave a cold snort, and asked in return.
"Have you thought this through, Ninth Master? If reporters or social media workers accidentally take pictures of your eight-pack abs and long legs outside the Municipal Bureau, we will not be held responsible!"
Pei Fengzhi still smiled as she spoke to Luo Rui.
"As far as I know, Captain Luo doesn't have an arrest warrant. I'm just cooperating with the investigation as a suspect, not someone who has confirmed that I'm a criminal. Even if you confirm that I'm a criminal, I still have the most basic freedom of dress, right? Otherwise, Captain Luo is insulting me. Mental torture is a form of disguised torture."
Luo Rui's expression was not good. He met Pei Fengzhi's gentle and jade-like smiling face with a gloomy gaze, gritted his teeth, and still reached out to give the order.
"Take him to change his clothes, and keep a close eye on him, don't let him escape!"
Pei Fengzhi was thus forced into the walk-in closet.
