Chapter 336: Chapter 336: The Cloud of Doubt Between Truth and Falsehood

Zhao Leye shook her head, kneeling on the ground as she turned to look at Zhao Ding, "Dad, I’ve never asked you for anything before, just this once, just this once, I beg you to show mercy, can you show mercy?"

Zhao Ding lowered his head, looking at his daughter’s tear-streaked face, he felt only disgust in his heart, she was actually pleading for their sworn enemy.

He slightly exerted force on his calf, shaking off Zhao Leye and said coldly, "Your mother is right, these days you should stay home and prepare for the wedding, put the company’s matters aside for now, when your brother returns the General Manager position will still be his, from now on just focus on being Mrs. Director Zhang."

As soon as Zhao Ding finished speaking, he did not look at Zhao Leye’s reaction and went upstairs directly.

Looking at her father’s resolute back, Zhao Leye collapsed on the ground, feeling helpless and desperate, she did not know if Chen Dashan was really dead, if Chen Dashan was truly dead and the Zhao Family still would not let him go, smearing him wantonly, she would definitely stand up.

"Humph!"

Looking at the pitiful Zhao Leye kneeling on the ground, Qin Lan snorted coldly with a look of contempt and said with a smile, "Really an ungrateful wretch, a money-losing good-for-nothing!"

After finishing, Qin Lan rolled her eyes in disdain, swaying her hips as she went upstairs.

The servants in the room lowered their heads, not daring to breathe heavily. Looking at the lonely Zhao Leye kneeling on the ground, their eyes were full of sympathy, but no one dared to step forward and cause trouble for themselves.

...

Early the next morning.

In the streets and alleys of Furong County, in the breakfast shops.

"Did you hear? Last night a taxi drove into the Wei River, everyone inside died!"

"Didn’t you watch the news?"

"It was Chen Dashan from Chenwang Pharmaceutical, he raped a woman from the same village and after her husband called the police, he kidnapped the victim, the incident was exposed and he wanted to silence her, but during a quarrel with the victim on the road, the taxi plunged into the river and both of them drowned."

"Really? A big boss like him couldn’t just buy a woman?"

"Who knows, maybe he found it more thrilling this way. Anyway, people can’t do bad things..."

Everyone was talking at once, eating their steaming hot breakfasts while discussing animatedly.

The town’s morning was full of life.

The sound of car horns, vendors shouting, roosters crowing, and dogs barking made for a lively scene.

At this moment, at the police station entrance, Qin Lan had already been waiting there early, just waiting for the police station to open, she planned to bring someone to take Zhao Qiqiang home.

Inside the police station.

Director Geng frowned, looking at his subordinate helplessly, "What did you say?"

"Chen Dashan fell into the Wei River and drowned?"

Hearing the report from the officer, Director Geng was completely stunned, Chen Dashan was County Magistrate Zhu’s person, the shantytowns’ construction and development still needed Chen Dashan’s effort, and now he was dead? And their station was the last to know, the news was already everywhere, and it was hard to determine whether it was true or false.

The officer lowered his head, cautiously lifting his eyes to look at Director Geng, "I have already sent someone to check the scene."

"They should be back soon, and Director, Zhao Qiqiang’s mother is still at the door, waiting to take Zhao Qiqiang out."

Zhao Qiqiang?

Hearing the name, Director Geng felt a headache.

Irritated, he said, "Got it, let me calm down first."

Zhao Qiqiang was the defendant, Chen Dashan was the plaintiff, now with Chen Dashan dead, the previous evidence was just pressed by higher-ups, delaying the trial, now with Chen Dashan gone, with Zhao Ding’s methods, how could this case still be judged?

But how to explain to County Magistrate Zhu?

Director Geng was worried, clasping his hands together, frowning as he paced up and down the office, like sitting on pins and needles!

He couldn’t offend either side, it now depended on County Magistrate Zhu’s attitude.

...

At this moment, outside the police station.

"Click!"

"Click!"

Countless reporters were carrying cameras, holding microphones, recording programs, and many well-known online influencers were live streaming, the entrance of the police station was packed tightly.

Qin Lan stood among the crowd, proudly saying, "My son Zhao Qiqiang was framed by Chen Dashan, as a company boss, he had a lot of unclear money, bribed witnesses to falsely testify, just to frame my son."

"Not only did he snatch my son’s fiancée, but he also severely injured him, now he was even more audacious, making Qiqiang go to jail, finally, this heartless villain is dead, truly Heaven has eyes!"

Qin Lan pleaded for sympathy in front of the cameras.

Crying bitterly, she was supported by two people beside her, and suddenly someone said, "I am Zhao Yaqian’s husband, I am Li Xiaobao from Stone Village, Chen Dashan repeatedly raped my wife in front of me, beat me severely, I was in a desperate situation, this time my eyes were blinded by Chen Dashan, I mustered the courage to report, didn’t expect Chen Dashan to kidnap my wife directly and beat me like this, everyone please judge for me!"

Li Xiaobao knelt on the ground, his eyes bloody, kowtowing and pleading for help from everyone.

He looked very pitiful.

For a time, this caused everyone to discuss hotly, "This is too miserable, look, his wife is dead, and he is disabled, tsk tsk...

"Chen Dashan deserved to die, I heard he was involved in shady businesses, and got some undeserved money!"

"Too pitiful, who gave Chen Dashan such courage to act so recklessly?"

"Chen Dashan was the biggest scourge in Furong County!"

"Release him!"

"Release him!"

Citizens surrounded the police station, each one filled with righteous indignation, clenching their fists and shouting loudly.

Director Geng stood at the door with a worried face, he couldn’t ignore this situation, Qin Lan raised her chin, looking at Director Geng, "Now that the matter is clear, Director Geng what reason do you have not to release him?"

To this Director Geng, Qin Lan had a lot of grievances, during this period she had frequented the police station, first to plead for her son Zhao Qiqiang, second to establish connections hoping the police would take better care of Zhao Qiqiang, but Director Geng was upright and unyielding, Zhao Qiqiang suffered greatly inside.

"Whether the matter is clear I do not know, the plaintiff hasn’t withdrawn the lawsuit, I have no right to release him." Director Geng said righteously, his eyes scanning around.

Now it was rush hour, more and more onlookers were gathering.

At the entrance of the police station, Li Xiaobao’s miserable appearance, kneeling on the ground crying and making a scene, caused many citizens to look sympathetically and whisper to each other.

"Humph!" Qin Lan snorted coldly, she had already guessed Director Geng would use this excuse.

She took a few steps forward, sneered at Director Geng, "My words don’t work, the facts in front of you don’t work, doesn’t Director Geng think Director Zhang from Hengshui City’s Wu’an Bureau can work?"

"What do you mean?"

Director Geng’s pupils shrank, Wu’an Bureau was his direct superior, and Director Zhang was known to be narrow-minded, offending him would definitely lead to retaliation.

Seeing Director Geng’s reaction, Qin Lan smiled triumphantly, she handed a document to Director Geng, "This is a directive from Director Zhang, until there is conclusive evidence, he hopes you will release his brother-in-law."
