Chapter 203: Chapter 203: Refusing to Admit Guilt

The money was given to Meng Jingfen by Wang Zhipeng.

Some time ago, Wang Zhipeng asked her to provide information on two healthy-bodied, honest locals who wouldn’t make trouble.

Although she didn’t know what exactly Wang Zhipeng wanted to do, Meng Jingfen guessed... it was most likely their kidneys he was after.

This crime... was even worse than human trafficking, how could she dare speak of it?

She gritted her teeth and fabricated another lie, "This money was entrusted to me by He Weiguo just before his death to give to my little aunt. After He Weiguo died, seeing that my little aunt and others were completely unaware of this, I kept the money."

Everyone, "..."

Great, they’d have to investigate He Weiguo’s financial situation before his death.

Long dead, but his financial state was easy to investigate.

That is — he’d done a lot of business, and regarding his specific income... not only is there no exact figure, but there were also many bad debts lent to relatives and friends that couldn’t be collected because of a lack of IOUs.

Therefore, though he spent a lot of Meng Wanhua’s money before his death, it wasn’t impossible for him to suddenly produce over seventy thousand before dying — perhaps a relative or friend, realizing he had a terminal illness, had a moment of conscience and repaid the money?

Meng Jingfen’s testimony this time was mostly problem-free.

You know, even her actions were illegal.

If Meng Chuyue pursued this, she’d have to serve at least three years in prison.

Her earlier refusal to speak also seemed reasonable.

In fact, the police station staff had long realized that Fu Peng and Feng Shan were falsely accusing Meng Jingfen.

But since the origin of the money was questionable, they could only use it to break through Meng Jingfen’s psychological defenses.

Isn’t it true, she did indeed tell the truth?

With that matter settled, they casually intimidated Feng Shan and Fu Peng for a bit, and the pair immediately confessed.

Fu Peng admitted, "Although she’s not a human trafficker, the news about Fu Song was deliberately told to me by her. Comrade, we had no prior interactions, she approached me particularly this time, telling me about it definitely with ulterior motives, I hope you won’t let her off lightly."

The police station staff ignored Fu Peng, but made a special mention when interrogating Meng Jingfen, "Fu Song said it was you who deliberately approached him and intentionally told him about Fu Song’s information at the Mi Family. Tell me, why did you do that?"

Meng Jingfen had something to say, "I thought Fu Peng was Fu Song’s biological father, I did it for his welfare, to save him."

Police station staff sneered, "If you really wanted to save him, why didn’t you just report it to the police?"

Meng Jingfen was left speechless, yet she refused to plead guilty.

With Fu Song unharmed and the police station staff not wanting to further pursue the matter, they coldly stated, "Regarding the report by Fu Peng and Feng Shan accusing you as an accomplice to human trafficking, due to insufficient evidence, we have tentatively found you not guilty.

However, you appropriated seventy thousand yuan belonging to Meng Wanhua, which is a severe crime. If pursued by the party concerned, you will have to serve at least three years in prison. Do you have anything to say about that?"

Meng Jingfen’s eyes widened, "But my little aunt has already died, how can it be pursued?"

"She may be gone, but she still has legal heirs, which means if Meng Chuyue pursues it, you will face punishment.

Not only that, the original money was given to you by He Weiguo, if Meng Chuyue doesn’t pursue it but He Weiguo’s descendants do, you will still face punishment."

Meng Jingfen fell silent for a while, "Can’t I just return the money to them?"

"It should indeed be returned to them. Even if you return it, if they decide to pursue it, not only will you face punishment, but you will also have to compensate for certain financial losses."

Meng Jingfen, "..."

She remained silent for a long time, then said, "Could I see Meng Chuyue?"

"We need to seek her consent for that, she has the right to refuse to see you."

"I understand, if she refuses, please trouble the authorities to let my family beg for her forgiveness."

"We will convey your wishes to your family."
