Chapter 470 Why can't they just shut up and admit it?!
Chapter 470 Why can't they just shut up and admit it?!
When Chu Xin left the hospital satisfied, not only Zhang Shun, but also Yu Bei was filled with deep resentment towards her.
Before the two could even exchange a word, they were met by Liu Yunlong, who was full of obsession.
The misery of these two people is indescribable. Can't they have a moment of peace? Also, why do we have to ask the same question to two different people, and then ask it to a different person again?
Even if you're nitpicking, you can't be this picky, can you?
Of course, no matter how unwilling they were, Liu Yunlong was determined to get the same statement.
"If you cooperate actively, we can finish the work sooner, which is beneficial to both of us. I hope you won't hold us back."
Where did it hold us back?
If you are not united, we will have to bear the consequences. Who can we complain to?
Zhang Shun and Yubei had never seen anything like this before!
Unfortunately, I can't get angry, because getting angry would be suspicious. I can only keep telling myself to stay calm.
"Yes, we will definitely tell you. We will tell you everything we know."
Let's go back to the Central Special Branch.
After interrogating Li Lifeng again, Zhou Yichen couldn't hold back his anger. They were all really using their status as an excuse, thinking that they could get away with it by dragging it out.
Ah!
Zhou Yichen sneered, thinking that when the little girl came back, she would be listless again, which made him even more determined in his mind.
He didn't go straight back to his office, but went to find Zhou Wen first, asking, "Did Hong's mother come again today?"
Zhou Wen: "He hasn't come today."
Zhou Yichen grunted and lowered his voice, "Go and call her over. Tell her that Gao Cuizhi wants to see her. Once she's in, take her directly to Li Lifeng."
Zhou Wen's eyebrows twitched. He looked around to make sure no one was watching before saying, "Captain, you... this isn't in accordance with the rules. Besides, if things really get out of hand..."
He always felt that his captain was becoming increasingly unorthodox in his actions.
"It's alright, go ahead and make the arrangements. When the conflict arises, we'll bring Gao Cuizhi over there so she can confront Li Lifeng."
"What about the Li family..."
"There was no torture or forced confession. They caused this themselves. What does it have to do with us?"
Zhou Yichen spoke without any psychological pressure, patting Zhou Wen on the shoulder, "Hong's mother is the biggest victim in this matter. It makes no sense that those two people would calmly squat in the ward while she was outside anxiously going crazy."
Let her come; it'll give her a chance to vent. Go quickly!
Zhou Wen thought about it and agreed, then jogged out.
To say that Hong's mother has been living a life of unbearable pain lately is an understatement. Her son has disappeared, her daughter-in-law is a bad person, and even her beloved grandson is not her own.
If she hadn't wanted to know whether her son was dead or alive, she would have collapsed long ago.
She was always alone in the house, and everywhere she looked, she was filled with memories—memories of her son, her grandson, and her daughter-in-law whom she hated with a passion.
So she would wait outside the Central Special Branch every day, hoping to get some answers from Gao Cuizhi and also to get firsthand information about her son.
Zhou Wen met her on the way.
In just a few days, the old lady went from being quite plump to being emaciated, and she also became somewhat mentally unstable.
Zhou Wen was being considerate; he first gave Hong's mother something to eat and then let her drink a cup of malted milk to replenish her energy before taking her inside.
Zhou Yichen then brought up Li Lifeng.
"Are you two ever going to stop? Are you bored? Why are you bothering me again? If you can't produce any substantial evidence, stop torturing each other here. Even if you ask me eight hundred times a day, it'll be the same!"
Li Lifeng had a sullen face, and he was extremely unhappy.
Zhou Yichen sat calmly, ignoring his clamor. "I know, it's not as you say, it's just that I'm too bored, so I brought you here to chat."
Upon hearing this, Li Lifeng's face immediately darkened.
Damn it, they're just using him as a source of amusement to kill time!
"Captain Zhou, everyone has human rights, and the new society also emphasizes equality for all. Although I am wronged and have to stay here, it doesn't mean you can play games with me like this. Be careful, or I'll sue you!"
Zhou Yichen looked at him, his face full of confusion, "Knowing about human rights and talking about equality should make you a very cultured person. How could you do something like getting someone pregnant out of wedlock?"
Li Lifeng's face darkened immediately. "This is my private matter, my privacy, don't you understand?!"
The angrier he got, the more consistently Zhou Yichen delivered his attacks. At first, he was a little unaccustomed to saying harsh things, but later he found it quite satisfying to watch the other person's defenses crumble, so he became more relaxed.
At the same time, I was deeply moved. No wonder that little girl Chu Xin liked to tease people with her words. So that's where the fun was.
"You're wrong. Privacy is something both parties care about. Gao Cuizhi thinks differently from you. No matter what her reasons are for revealing that she was pregnant out of wedlock, including her willingness to bear the stigma of bullying an honest person in order to drag you into it, once she says it, your privacy is no longer privacy, understand?"
Li Lifeng gritted his teeth, "What does he know!"
He used to think that Gao Cuizhi was an easy-going, non-competitive, and unpretentious person, but after returning from abroad, he found that she was not like that at all.
He had no idea that Gao Cuizhi was pregnant back then. As soon as she heard that he was going abroad, she immediately broke up with him. Her decisiveness made him think that he was nothing special and didn't have the ability to make a woman care about him.
You could say he left heartbroken back then. Now that he's back in China, he's long forgotten what happened before. Who would have thought that damned woman would turn around and cause him trouble? Not only that, she even forced him to admit that he stole the child.
God knows he didn't even know he had a son at that time!
Zhou Yichen kept an eye on his expression, ready to add fuel to the fire at any time. Seeing that he was getting more and more impatient, he followed up by provoking him.
“If Hong Yangyang is not found, Gao Cuizhi will say that you will have to bear the crime of hiding the child for another day, and you will not be able to get rid of it even if you get out.”
Did you know that Hong Yangyang's grandmother has been exhausted by this matter? If she dies because of it, you will be burdened with the loss of another life.
Do you think someone like you has a future?
When Gao Cuizhi met you again, did she think of this? Or was it intentional on her part?
"enough!"
Li Lifeng was furious. He gritted his teeth and tried his best to control his temper, but he couldn't. What he cared about most was his future.
Destroying someone's future is like killing their parents; it's a grave sin!
"Do you think Gao Cuizhi is a good person? Go ask her how she got her title as a senior fitter, why she retired because of a hand injury, and what she was after in marrying Hong Yan'an!!"
A series of loud questions made Li Lifeng's chest heave violently, and he stared at Zhou Yichen like an angry lion.
A glint flashed in Zhou Yichen's eyes. It turned out that even though Li Lifeng had gone abroad, he was not entirely unaware of some things.
Outside the door, Zhou Wen was passing by with Hong's mother when, quite "coincidentally," she heard Li Lifeng's shout. She was stunned for a long time before looking at Zhou Wen and asking, "Comrade, who is inside? Why did he mention that woman?"
She asked the question, but deep down she already knew the answer. Who else but Yangyang's biological father could say such a thing?!
What did he mean by those words?
The thought that her son had been raised by someone else for nothing, and that everything from the very beginning might have been a setup, made her tremble. She was angry, but even more afraid.
In that case, is it possible that her missing son is still alive?
Zhou Wen was startled by her reaction, fearing that she would faint on the spot, so he had no mind to answer her.
However, Hong's mother already had the answer in her heart. She didn't really need anyone to tell her anything; what she needed most right now was to vent her emotions.
He reached out to push the door, found it unlocked, and pushed it open forcefully.
With a "bang," Zhou Yichen and Li Lifeng both looked over.
At this moment, Hong's mother was in a state of collapse and had lost her mind. She knew Zhou Yichen, so she rushed towards the other man she didn't know, grabbed his clothes tightly, and questioned him with tears streaming down her face, "What do you know? Tell me quickly, was my son deceived by Gao Cuizhi? Why did she do this?!"
Not long ago, Li Lifeng was harassed by Gao Cuizhi on the street and was locked up in this place. Right now, what he hates most is being torn and shaken, and his subconscious instinct is to push the person away.
"Snapped!"
He had just raised his hand when he was slapped back. He looked up and saw it was Zhou Yichen. He was so angry that his eyebrows could practically catch fire. "What are you doing? Pull him away!"
Zhou Yichen didn't even glance at his furious face, focusing only on the safety of Hong's mother. The reason he stayed close was to prevent her from being hurt by Li Lifeng.
Seeing him feign death, Li Lifeng was furious. Did they all think he was an easy target?!
If he can't use his hands, does that mean he can't even use his mouth?
He immediately started arguing with Hong's mother.
"Whether your son has been deceived or not, you should ask him yourself. Why are you asking me? Your whole family is sick. Your son is a complete idiot for rushing to be someone's stepfather. You old woman, instead of going to Gao Cuizhi, you're all over me. If you're so capable, go ask her and see what she can tell you!"
Suddenly everyone looks like an idiot. They should really reflect on why they were fooled so badly!
The blunt words came one after another, leaving Hong's mother with a lump in her throat, feeling suffocated.
She was an honest and simple country girl, and didn't know how to refute Li Lifeng, so she just kept insisting on one sentence, "Tell me why, tell me why..."
As soon as Chu Xin and the other two entered from outside, they heard arguing coming from the direction of the interrogation room.
Li Lifeng's voice was almost a roar; you could immediately recognize it as his.
"Is this kid taking his family background too seriously? Is this a place where he can make a scene?" Chu Yunting frowned and quickly walked over with Jia Zhenyan.
Chu Xin had better hearing than him and recognized Hong's mother's voice. She was surprised that she had come in and ran towards the direction from which the voice came.
"You're back? Don't go over there yet!"
Zhou Wengang escorted Gao Cuizhi into the interrogation room, and upon seeing them afterward, he immediately stopped them.
For a moment, I hesitated to close the door.
Just now, in order to allow Hong's mother outside the door to hear the sounds inside the interrogation room, Zhou Yichen did not close the door completely. When he brought Gao Cuizhi in the same way, he also left the door a crack.
The current standoff between the three people inside is practically a battlefield; if this isn't dealt with soon, the commotion in their department will surely spread throughout the entire company.
The three people in front of them looked eager to find out what was going on; even if the door was closed, they would find a way to open it.
Considering Zhou Yichen was inside, there shouldn't be any serious fight that resulted in death. Zhou Wen simply didn't close the door properly after all.
Chu Yunting and Jia Zhenyan's eyes lit up immediately, and they quickly squatted down on either side of the door to peek inside.
Seeing the middle spot that the two of them had specially reserved for her, Chu Xin, who could clearly observe the situation inside from all angles with her mental power, still symbolically moved forward a little.
In the interrogation room.
As soon as Gao Cuizhi entered, she went straight to pull Hong's mother away. Li Lifeng is ruthless and shows no mercy. What if he hurts her?
"Mom, what are you doing? Let him go!"
But Hong's mother was completely unmoved. "You've come at the perfect time! Tell me quickly, why did you lie to our whole family? What are you trying to do?!"
Gao Cuizhi felt bad seeing her mother-in-law change like this after only a few days, but she couldn't answer his question. Glancing at Zhou Yichen, who was silent as if he were invisible, she only said:
"Mom, can we talk about this later?"
Before she could say anything more, Li Lifeng stared at her with bloodshot eyes, gritting his teeth and sneering, "Tell your mother-in-law how you married Hong Yan'an, and whether your family's mess has anything to do with me!"
Gao Cuizhi's heart tightened. She didn't know what Li Lifeng had said before she arrived that had made Hong's mother so agitated, so she could only try to keep the topic vague.
"Mom, my relationship with him is in the past. Since I married Yan'an, I've only wanted to live a good life. Please don't misunderstand."
Hearing him say that, Hong's mother was indeed swayed, "What's the use of wanting to live a good life? Yangyang isn't our child, sob sob sob..."
Li Lifeng and Gao Cuizhi were both running away, but she was the only one who was truly heartbroken.
A cold light flashed in Zhou Yichen's eyes, while Chu Xin outside also coldly curled the corners of her lips.
When Gao Cuizhi tried to pull Hong's mother again, she seized the moment when her arm swung up and immediately used her telekinesis to raise the angle, slapping Li Lifeng squarely across the face.
They knocked his face to one side.
Li Lifeng had never suffered such humiliation before. He turned around and, like a madman, flung aside Hong's mother and roared as he charged at Gao Cuizhi, "You fucking want to die? You've provoked me time and time again! I'll fight you to the death!"
The scene suddenly became chaotic.
Zhou Yichen reacted quickly, grabbing Hong's mother and pulling her back, away from the "battle zone," and said:
"Stay here and don't move."
When he turned around again, Gao Cuizhi had already been punched several times. Even the most unreasonable person would fight back when being hit, and Gao Cuizhi started fighting with Li Lifeng like a madwoman.
"You've never done anything for me, so why can't you just shut up and admit it?!"
