Chapter 369: Chapter 369: Captured

Jiangli said, "That could work, but there’s another matter, we need to have a little chat first."

Jiangli looped an arm around Yao Xuanhang’s neck in a brotherly fashion, and told him about their plan to call the police, and the story they intended to tell.

"Moreover, Xia Xin and I have to make a trip to H City later, so we don’t have time to stick around and deal with the police here. When they arrive, just say that you called the police, and that it was you who found out what happened. As for the injuries on Ju Gang, just say you don’t know anything, that he was already like that when you found him. Ju Gang won’t speak out either, rest assured."

Upon hearing this, Yao Xuanhang immediately bristled, "Abbot, are you leaving tonight?"

"Yes, we still have things to do, no time to spare. You can handle the rest of this on your own," Jiangli patted his shoulder, not missing a chance to flatter him. "Such a small matter, I’m sure young master Yao will handle it perfectly, right?"

Facing Jiangli’s gaze that showed complete trust, one would find it hard to speak falsely.

Yao Xuanhang, trying to save face, said, "That’s, that’s fine... I, I can definitely handle it..."

And so, the matter was ’happily’ settled.

As soon as they spotted the police car, Jiangli and Xia Xin quietly made their departure, leaving Yao Xuanhang to deal with it alone.

Worried about handling the situation himself, Yao Xuanhang called his sister Yao Mingxuan and Cui Wenzhe for help.

Meanwhile, Jiangli and Xia Xin, taking Fu’er with them, met up with Lin Yurong and hurried to the high-speed rail station.

By the time police had already taken Ju Gang’s statement at Yao Xuanhang’s place.

Fearing Jiangli would turn against him, Ju Gang cooperated fully, not daring to utter an extra word.

The police, having obtained the statements, quickly brought Tao Yicheng to the police station.

Facing the testimony of Yao Xuanhang and Ju Gang, Tao Yicheng initially refused to admit anything, vehemently claiming he was being framed by Yao Xuanhang.

"Officer, it’s not like they say, I have no grudge against Yao Xuanhang, why would I target him!" Tao Yicheng pleaded with earnest passion.

With an expressionless face, an officer took out a mobile phone and played a call recording, "Listen to this first before you talk."

When Tao Yicheng heard the recording, his complexion changed.

It was a recording of a call between Ju Gang and him, discussing their plans to harm Yao Xuanhang.

Also, in the call, Tao Yicheng admitted he had thought about pushing Yao Xuanhang off the boat.

Tao Yicheng’s face instantly turned ashen with no room for argument.

He had not expected that Ju Gang had the habit of recording calls, and now he was utterly defenseless.

Being a clever man, Tao Yicheng saw there was no chance to argue and immediately played the family card, turning to Yao Xuanhang and Cui Wenzhe beside him with tears streaming down his face, his crying seemed genuine.

"Xuanhang, Cousin, I, I really was blinded by stupidity. I just liked Shiyi, and when I heard that she liked Xuanhang, and Xuanhang was ignoring her feelings, I just got so angry that I lost my mind and did such things... Could you please let me off this once? I, I swear I will never dare again!"

"And you think there will be a next time?" Yao Xuanhang said, his face flush with anger. "I’m telling you, Tao Yicheng, this time I’ll make sure you rot in jail!"

Seeing that Yao Xuanhang was resolute in not letting him off the hook, Tao Yicheng pleaded desperately to Cui Wenzhe, "Cousin, please, I am your cousin after all, you have to save me, you can’t just watch me go to jail. If I go to prison, what will happen to my parents..."
