"How did you know? Who did you bribe?"
Luo Rui's question elicited a cold, disdainful sneer from Ye Ningwan, who rolled her eyes at him and said irritably.
"Do I need someone else to relay a message if I want to know something?"
Ye Ningwan gently tapped her head with her long, slender fingers and said, word by word.
"If I want to know, I can find out."
Of course, I definitely don't believe her nonsense.
Luo Rui snorted coldly and said to Ye Ningwan with certainty, word by word.
“Here, I will thoroughly interrogate anyone who has the opportunity to come into contact with you, even if it's just a cleaning lady. I will make sure you never have another chance to know anything about the outside world!”
Ye Ningwan smiled and nodded.
"Captain Luo, you're wasting your time on this meaningless place. Is this what you call justice? Or is your so-called justice just something you think you're doing, nothing more than self-indulgence, and you don't actually care about the truth at all!"
Luo Rui's temple throbbed, and he gripped the doorknob tightly, his knuckles turning white and blue. He turned and glared coldly at Ye Ningwan, who was sitting in the interrogation chair behind him, gritting his teeth and shouting angrily.
"Ye Ningwan, do you think you can provoke me with words like that? You're underestimating me!"
Ye Ningwan sneered, gently raised her head, and calmly looked at Luo Rui, who was staring at her across the table, and spoke slowly and deliberately.
“Luo Rui, I was wronged. Ye Ruoxin attacked me first. She wanted to kill me. Everything I did afterward was just in self-defense.”
"At most, my actions could be considered excessive self-defense, but Ye Ruoxin..."
"She was the one who actually attempted murder..."
Looking at Ye Ningwan's calm expression, Luo Rui noticed a slight upward curve to her lips and subconsciously felt that this woman was deceiving him.
Luo Rui frowned, pondered for a moment, and then questioned Ye Ningwan.
Do you have any evidence?
"So many people witnessed you assaulting Ye Ruoxin, and there's also CCTV footage on the deck as evidence. As far as I know, there are no cameras inside the VIP boxes."
Ye Ningwan maintained a gentle smile, showing no sign of nervousness despite Luo Rui's words. She spoke calmly to Luo Rui.
“I have witnesses.”
Luo Rui raised an eyebrow.
"oh?"
Then I heard Ye Ningwan say.
"You can ask anyone who was in the VIP room that day, especially Wang Zhixuan. You'll know once you ask them."
Luo Rui pondered for a moment.
He certainly knew that the most important thing to know what exactly happened that day was the witnesses.
After all, his men couldn't find any trace of anything in the VIP room of the yacht club, except for some spilled drinks, which didn't prove anything at all.
“I’ve questioned all those people, and not a single one mentioned that Ye Ruoxin laid a hand on you back then! I think your expectations have been dashed.”
Luo Rui's voice carried a hint of sarcasm, and it was for this reason that he believed Ye Ningwan must be the perpetrator and Ye Ruoxin must be the victim.
But Ye Ningwan wasn't flustered at all; instead, she spoke to Luo Rui.
"Then Captain Luo should go and ask again. I don't think you asked them about Ye Ruoxin attacking me back then, did you?"
Luo Rui remained silent.
He really hadn't asked about this.
Ye Ningwan smiled and said with a slight upturn of her lips.
"Since that's the case, then I'll trouble Captain Luo to go and ask again to clear my name. Thank you for your trouble!"
Luo Rui looked at Ye Ningwan's seemingly harmless smile, took a deep breath, suppressed his anger, and said coldly.
"Ye Ningwan, if I find nothing in the end, then you will be obstructing justice, and your crimes will be compounded. I will definitely let you off easily!"
Ye Ningwan's smile widened, becoming even more radiant and gentle, like a dazzling peony.
"If I am truly innocent, I hope Captain Luo, who personally arrested me, will apologize to me."
Luo Rui glanced at Ye Ningwan but remained silent.
After a long while, he opened the door to the interrogation room and quickly walked out.
...
Soon after, the wealthy second-generation individuals who attended the party that day were summoned back to the municipal police station for questioning.
Naturally, some of them were uncooperative, but contrary to expectations, Wang Zhixuan, who was always arrogant and troublesome, actually took the initiative to come to the city bureau after receiving a call from them.
Wang Zhixuan sat in his office, sipping coffee and smiling as he crossed his left leg over his right. His face wasn't particularly handsome, but his hair was slicked back, his blue-gray suit was comfortable and sharp, and he wore a pair of polished leather shoes. He looked every bit the elite rich second-generation heir.
"Captain Luo, we meet again."
Luo Rui didn't have a good impression of these rich kids, and he gave a cold sneer, saying irritably.
"Mr. Wang, I called you here today to ask about the assault incident at the yacht club last time."
Before Luo Rui could finish speaking, Wang Zhixuan asked with a smile.
"Captain Luo wants to know about what happened before Ye Ningwan took action in the hall, right?"
Looking at Wang Zhixuan's expression, Luo Rui immediately knew the answer.
"So, something did happen in the private room on the second floor back then?"
Wang Zhixuan lowered his left leg, then crossed his right leg over his left, placed one hand on his left leg, and leaned his upper body slightly forward.
"At that time, Ye Ruoxin and Ye Ningwan had a fight. Ye Ruoxin lost the argument and, in a fit of anger, picked up a fruit knife from the coffee table and stabbed Ye Ningwan."
Luo Rui frowned.
"Then what?"
Then Wang Zhixuan continued speaking.
"Ye Ruoxin couldn't beat Ye Ningwan, and Ye Ningwan got angry, so she grabbed Ye Ruoxin's hair and dragged her outside. After that... I think Captain Luo already knows from the surveillance video."
Luo Rui nodded.
He rested his chin on his hand, lost in silent thought, his gaze sharp and indifferent.
Wang Zhixuan looked at Luo Rui, but after waiting for a long time, he didn't see any reaction from Luo Rui.
He finally couldn't help but ask.
"Now that Captain Luo knows Ye Ningwan was framed, can you release her now?"
Luo Rui squinted, then suddenly glanced at Wang Zhixuan, his wolf-like eyes fixed on Wang Zhixuan's eyes, and asked, word by word.
"Mr. Wang, you seem to have an unusual interest in Ye Ningwan's case. Besides your cooperation this time, those rich kids who refused to cooperate last time only started cooperating after you spoke up, so..."
Luo Rui coldly questioned.
"So, what is your relationship with Ye Ningwan?"
