Chapter 263: Chapter 262 Ricin (2/5)

On the road.

Now that Wei Xueqing was going to get involved, Yang Chen no longer hid the truth.

"Firstly, you need to control your emotions. I’ll tell you everything I know so far," Yang Chen said.

Wei Xueqing took a deep breath and nodded firmly at Yang Chen.

After glancing at Wei Xueqing, Yang Chen said slowly, "I understand your feelings very well, but you need to know that sometimes keeping things from you is for your own good. Your situation is not like an ordinary family where you can simply be sad when a family member passes away. You can’t just fall apart. You are different from others. Even in the saddest times, you have to bear the responsibility of the entire corporation. A new project is under development... besides, Liu Chengpeng is watching like a wolf in front and a tiger behind. Including how I wanted you to bear this alone before, it’s because you are not like others. As a woman in this society, to stand your ground, you must be strong enough!"

Wei Xueqing nodded deeply, she understood everything Yang Chen said. In this world, except for her father, she had no privilege to be indulgent to anyone.

"When I saw your father at the time, I didn’t feel at all that he died of illness because it was too sudden! Too quiet! And too untimely!" Yang Chen said.

Wei Xueqing looked at Yang Chen’s profile, listening earnestly.

"I suspected something at the time but didn’t dare to voice it. For this, I owe you an apology," Yang Chen said, turning to Wei Xueqing.

Wei Xueqing was staring at Yang Chen’s profile and was startled when he suddenly turned his head, feeling nervous, "Wh-what?"

Yang Chen said in a deep voice, "At the time, I suspected your father was poisoned with a certain special toxin because, based on my knowledge of this toxin, his symptoms were too similar. But lacking evidence, I had someone perform an autopsy on your father..."

Upon hearing the word ’autopsy’, Wei Xueqing shuddered. Her mind was filled with dissection scenes she had seen back when watching Northern Federation dramas.

Perhaps she felt nothing while watching at the time, but now thinking about it happening to her father...

Wei Xueqing was still somewhat unable to bear it, and tears immediately gushed out.

Yet Wei Xueqing still pretended to be calm, "Then... what was the result?"

Yang Chen took a deep breath and said, "As I suspected, your father died of... ricin!"

"What!" Wei Xueqing’s eyes widened, staring at Yang Chen in disbelief.

For someone like her, who studied overseas in the Northern Federation, how could she not know the infamy of ricin?

But...

"How is this possible?" Wei Xueqing was incredulous, "Who would go through so much trouble to poison my father with ricin? Moreover, it’s so hard to extract... how could anyone in this country..."

Yang Chen said in a deep voice, "It’s not about possible or impossible, not only was ricin found in your father’s body, but I also found ricin in the teacup in his room. Do you think this is all a coincidence?"

"What!" Wei Xueqing’s eyes widened, her beautiful eyes filled with tears.

The murderer was hiding in her home, and yet she hadn’t noticed a single hint.

Seeing Wei Xueqing, Yang Chen couldn’t help but frown.

This girl... has already suffered too much.

Looking at Wei Xueqing seated, her jade hands clenched, clutching her professional skirt until it creased, trembling all over, head lowered, her tears fell patteringly.

Yang Chen felt a pang of compassion in his heart, placing his hand on Wei Xueqing’s, he said softly, "Everything is over now, I promise you, I will avenge your father!"

Feeling Yang Chen’s warm palm, Wei Xueqing was stunned, looked at Yang Chen’s rough big hand, and slowly nodded.

Covered by Yang Chen’s large hand, Wei Xueqing felt a lot safer, once again feeling protected, just like when Yang Chen was her bodyguard back then.

Involuntarily, Wei Xueqing turned her hand over, wanting to clasp Yang Chen’s big hand.

Yang Chen sensed Wei Xueqing’s movement, and couldn’t help but frown, withdrawing his hand.

His hand was placed on top of Wei Xueqing’s hand as comfort, but if they clasped hands, that would be ambiguous!

The one he loved was Ye Xin, he absolutely could not be ambiguous with any woman.

Moreover, he was well aware that at this vulnerable moment for Wei Xueqing, to do such a thing would be worse than a beast!

"We’re almost there, take a rest!" Yang Chen said blandly.

Wei Xueqing gave Yang Chen a disappointed glance, looking out the window, and slowly closed her eyes.

...

Beicheng Security Bureau.

Inside the interrogation room.

Gu Xijun, dressed in her security uniform, was spirited and stylish, throwing the file on the table with a thud.

Opposite her, Liu Zekai shivered all over, afraid to look at Gu Xijun.

"Do you think I really have no evidence? Would I arrest you on the spot without evidence? This is a society under rule of law, do you think I’m crazy enough to arrest people in broad daylight? Hmm? I’m telling you one last time, it’s better for you to confess now. If you honestly disclose everything, you might receive leniency, but if you refuse to admit, then wait for me to present the evidence to make you regret!" Gu Xijun scolded angrily.

Outside the interrogation room windows, inside the monitoring room.

Zhao Wende looked at the scene and couldn’t help but smile wryly.

Does Gu Xijun even know that arresting people on the spot is for special circumstances?

With this courage, Zhao Wende felt that now Gu Xijun was like a female leopard, daring to tackle anything!

At this moment, a security officer came in, whispered a few words to Zhao Wende.

Zhao Wende immediately said, "Quick, let them in!"

Soon, Yang Chen and Wei Xueqing came in.

Zhao Wende, looking at the weary-faced, red-eyed Wei Xueqing, couldn’t help but sigh.

"Yang Chen, come take a look, the interrogation is going well. Gu Xijun has some interrogation skills, and that Liu Zekai is already scared," Zhao Wende said to Yang Chen.

Wei Xueqing hurriedly asked, "So, are they the culprits?"

"This..." Zhao Wende frowned.

Without conclusive evidence and without the suspect’s signed confession, they absolutely could not accuse anyone of being the criminal.

Yang Chen said in a deep voice, "Find a seat and sit down, unless I call you, you don’t need to speak, otherwise, just wait outside!"

Wei Xueqing took a deep breath, gave Liu Zekai an angry look in the interrogation room, then quietly found a place to sit, but her eyes were staring straight at Liu Zekai.

Yang Chen glanced at Wei Xueqing and asked Zhao Wende, "Where is Liu Chengpeng?"

Zhao Wende immediately replied, "In another interrogation room, letting him stew for a while, we’ll break them one by one."

After all, Liu Chengpeng is experienced, having handled a lot. If we interrogated him first, we might not get anything out.

By letting Liu Chengpeng stew, and interrogating Liu Zekai first, it would give Liu Chengpeng the impression that Liu Zekai has confessed everything, putting Liu Chengpeng into a state of confusion and self-doubt.
