Xun Tianhai had anticipated that Fu Shiyan, a man of importance, would be busy and was not surprised by it, "Alright, I know."
The situation was indeed already serious enough.
Although there weren’t many death penalties now, the current charges were sufficient for Mu Dayang, Wan Qing, and Fu Yuxing to face death.
Whether or not Fu Shiyan cooperated with the investigation no longer mattered.
"By the way—" Xun Tianhai recalled something, "The preliminary investigation shows that Fu Yi is not related to this matter, but he is heavily implicated in bribery and economic crimes, and is currently under investigation by the financial crimes unit."
He watched Fu Shiyan’s expression closely, and asked with a meaningful tone, "Mr. Fu, would you like to know the results of the investigation?"
Fu Shiyan glanced at him, impassively stating, "It’s irrelevant to me."
Xun Tianhai understood him and relaxed, "Since Mr. Fu doesn’t want to know, then I won’t say anymore."
Fu Shiyan saw through his information but couldn’t be bothered to expose him.
The status of the Fu Family was extraordinary; if Fu Shiyan, representing the Fu Family, really wanted to get involved in this matter, smoothing things over would not be difficult.
On the other hand, the police station would have a hard time dealing with it.
It was all the better for the police station if Fu Shiyan didn’t interfere.
Just as Xun Tianhai finished speaking, a figure passed through the door of Xun Tianhai’s office and floated out.
Jiangli went up to meet her, "It’s not time yet, why did you come out?"
"Since everything’s been said, there’s no need to waste more time," Lin Yurong replied, her pupils still somewhat red, but she was much more composed.
Jiangli eyed her expression and asked, "Are you alright?"
Lin Yurong nodded with a relaxed smile on her face, "Yeah, I’m fine."
She didn’t look forced at all.
It really seemed like she was fine.
Just as Jiangli was about to speak, there was a click, and the office door was opened.
Lin Yaozu came out carrying his backpack, his face a mess of tears and snot, and with the wounds on his face, it was rather... unsightly.
Upon seeing so many people outside, he paused, looking a bit intimidated and instinctively seeking support as he turned his gaze towards Lin Yurong.
Lin Yurong beckoned to him, "Yaozu, come here."
Lin Yaozu shuffled his feet and then came over.
Lin Yurong led him to look at Jiangli, "Abbot, my brother isn’t involved in this matter; it shouldn’t affect him, right?"
Jiangli’s brow moved slightly as he glanced at the timid Lin Yaozu and said, "If he isn’t involved, it won’t affect him, you don’t need to worry."
"That’s good," Lin Yurong nodded, feeling relieved, then turned to Lin Yaozu, her voice gentle, "Did you hear that? This matter doesn’t involve you. Yaozu, you have to take care of yourself from now on. Sister can’t look after you anymore, and they... probably can’t look after you either. You have to make it on your own."
Upon hearing this, Lin Yaozu nearly cried again.
He knew who Lin Yurong meant by ’they’.
Given the current situation, it was understandable that Lin Yurong was unwilling to call her parents ’mom and dad,’ which Lin Yaozu could understand.
He fiercely wiped his eyes with the back of his hand, opened his mouth as if he wanted to say something.
Lin Yurong, however, said, "It’s not about you; there would be someone else."
Lin Yaozu was taken aback.
Lin Yurong looked into his eyes, "I know what you want to say, but Yaozu, to them, you’re just a name. If not you, they would give that name to someone else. Do you understand?"
Lin Yaozu was somewhat confused.
Yet Lin Yurong saw things more clearly, "Even without you, or even if you were a girl, they would come up with another Lin Yaozu. It doesn’t matter who it is, as long as it’s ’Lin Yaozu’ it would suffice."
