The Shi Family brothers and Si Junlan were taken back to the police station, where they were separately detained in interrogation rooms.
However, all three maintained their silence. No matter what the police said to them or asked, they acted as if they were deaf and insisted on consulting their lawyers.
The police were infuriated yet amused. These people were truly not shedding tears until seeing the coffin. They should know that Ding Hong’s case was sealed with irrefutable evidence—both human and physical. Plus, the butler provided a plethora of information which completed the chain of evidence. So what was the point of their obstinate resistance?
But, the police had plenty of methods to deal with such individuals.
They just needed to stage a good show in the interrogation room, and soon, these three would start pointing fingers at each other.
Of course, having just arrested them, they first needed to wear down their patience. Thɪs chapter is updated by novel※fire.net
Late at night, a bar bursting with people.
Jing Yizhou and his friends were looking for fun at the bar, and Gu Zheng, along with his date, was there as well; however, his companion for the evening had changed yet again.
As Jing Yizhou drank, he sneered to himself, thinking how nonchalant Dr. Gu seemed. Had the affair of being toyed with by a "little lamb" not reached his ears yet? He couldn’t wait to see the sea king stumble and fall from grace.
Therefore, he deliberately played a trick, having the bartender little story with Dr. Gu, who was cozily chatting up his date at the bar counter.
Gu Zheng initially did not pay much attention when he first heard the story, finding some aspects familiar.
It wasn’t until he reached the end of the story that he suddenly realized the fishpond owner, who had been played by the "little lamb" from start to finish, was none other than himself.
"Where did you hear this story?" Gu Zheng asked the bartender.
"It’s all over the place these last few days, quite the sensational topic. Everyone is guessing who this sea king might be, whether he is one of our customers or not."
Upon hearing this, Gu Zheng set his drink down.
"Dr. Gu, what’s wrong?" His date noticed the change in Gu Zheng’s expression and asked quickly while seductively twining her fingers with his, "Dr. Gu, since we’re out, let’s have some fun, shall we?"
"I won’t be taking you home tonight, I have some things to attend to." Having said that, Gu Zheng took out his wallet and paid the bill.
His date couldn’t catch up because Gu Zheng was moving too swiftly.
Jing Yizhou watched Gu Zheng leave the bar, revealing a meaningful smile, and said to his companions, "I’m off to play the hero! You guys have fun."
He had intentionally leaked the news to Gu Zheng, just to give Dr. Sun an opportunity for revenge. What’s there to be smug about?
How could such a scumbag allow only himself to play with others but not be played with in return?
Besides, what was his love worth anyway?
At the same time, Sun Ling was still at Peak dealing with training for new recruits. Jing Yizhou kept his word, indeed connecting her with a helpful contact, and she was waiting for a response.
Sun Ling could never have expected, having been broken up for a while now, that she would suddenly receive a call from Gu Zheng.
She hadn’t looked at the caller ID and just answered directly. It was not until she heard the voice that she realized it was too late.
"Do you have time? I’m outside your company."
Sun Ling glanced at the time, then at the stack of documents in her hands, about to refuse. But as she glanced outside, she saw Gu Zheng leaning against his car. Well, there was no avoiding it.
Therefore, she closed her pen, shut the files, and walked out.
However, no sooner had she reached Gu Zheng than he grabbed her right wrist, "Quite impressive, Miss Sun..."
Yet, before Sun Ling could react, her left hand was seized by another man, "Dr. Gu, this is my girlfriend."
