Upon hearing that Ye Qiu was going to leave with the two police officers, Lin Jingzhi panicked and quickly said, “Ye Qiu, they don’t have any evidence. You don’t need to go with them.”

“It’s okay, Sister Lin,” Ye Qiu smiled. “The police just want me to cooperate with their investigation. They’re not arresting me. Besides, you guys wouldn’t wrong an innocent person, right?”

“Rest assured, Mr. Ye, we would never wrong an innocent person,” one of the officers immediately assured.

The other officer made an inviting gesture and said, “Mr. Ye, please.”

“Sister Lin, I’ll go with them first. You should rest at home.”

“President Lin, sorry for the disturbance,” the two officers said, fearing complications, as they quickly took Ye Qiu away.

As soon as they left, Lin Jingzhi took out her phone and dialed a number.

Soon, a cold voice came from the other end, “Hello, this is Bai Bing.”

“It’s me…”

Click!

Lin Jingzhi had just started speaking when Bai Bing hung up.

“That damn woman, she actually hung up on me. How infuriating.”

Lin Jingzhi kept calling Bai Bing, but no one answered. After a while, she simply sent a text message.

“Bai Bing, Ye Qiu has been taken away by the police.”

Just two seconds after sending the message, Lin Jingzhi’s phone rang.

Seeing Bai Bing’s number on the caller ID, Lin Jingzhi smiled smugly and answered, pretending to be clueless, “What do you want?”

“What happened to Ye Qiu? Why did the police take him?” Bai Bing asked immediately.

Lin Jingzhi replied, “Guo Shaocong’s body was found. The police want him to cooperate with their investigation.”

“What?” Bai Bing exclaimed.

Lin Jingzhi said, “Bai Bing, if the police come to you and ask what you were doing with Ye Qiu that morning, just say you went to Yunwu Mountain to treat the Dragon King. Don’t mention anything else.”

“I understand. Will Ye Qiu be alright?” Bai Bing asked worriedly.

“What, have you really fallen for Ye Qiu? Let me tell you, Ye Qiu is my man. If you truly like him, I don’t mind sharing, but remember, as long as I’m here, you’ll always be the second.”

“Ugh,” Bai Bing angrily hung up the phone.

Lin Jingzhi’s lips curled up in a satisfied smile.

…

Interrogation room.

Two police officers sat across from Ye Qiu.

“Mr. Ye, we will ask you a few questions. Please answer truthfully,” one officer said.

“Alright.”

“What’s your name?”

“Don’t you already know?”

“Ahem, this is part of the procedure. Please answer, Mr. Ye.”

“My name is Ye Qiu.”

“Gender?”

Ye Qiu looked at the officer in surprise, “Seriously? You can’t tell my gender?”

“Ahem, Mr. Ye, this is also part of the procedure.”

“Male.”

“Age?”

“Twenty-three and a half.”

“Ethnicity?”

“Han.”

“Did you kill Guo Shaocong?” Both officers stared sharply at Ye Qiu.

“No,” Ye Qiu immediately denied.

“But Guo Shaocong’s father, Guo Danu, specifically named you as the killer. What do you have to say about his accusation?”

“Vice President Guo is deliberately framing me.”

“Why do you say that?”

“Because I once hit Guo Shaocong,” Ye Qiu explained. “Guo Shaocong tried to steal my girlfriend, plagiarized my medical record, and then accused me of plagiarizing his. I almost got expelled from the hospital because of it. I was so angry that I beat him up.”

“What you just said shows that you hated Guo Shaocong very much. Is that your motive for murder?”

“I told you, I didn’t kill him,” Ye Qiu said. “Guo Shaocong, taking advantage of his father’s position as the Executive Vice President, committed many wrongdoings. To be honest, he deserved to die.”

“We will investigate Guo Shaocong’s case. One more question: On the morning Guo Shaocong disappeared, you went to the ward to find him but didn’t. Only Zhang Lili was there at the time. Later, you left the hospital with your department head, Bai Bing. Where did you go?” the officer asked.

“I went with Director Bai to Yunwu Mountain to treat the Dragon King.”

The two officers exchanged a glance, both seeing the seriousness in each other’s eyes.

It was one thing for Ye Qiu to be involved with Lin Jingzhi, but how did he also know the boss of Jiangzhou’s underground forces?

“By the way, what’s your relationship with Bai Bing?” the officer asked again.

Ye Qiu replied, “Can I choose not to answer this question?”

“No. You must answer.”

“Alright, I’ll tell you, but you mustn’t tell anyone else,” Ye Qiu said slowly. “Bai Bing is my girlfriend.”

“Isn’t President Lin your girlfriend?”

“Yes, Sister Lin is also my girlfriend.”

Damn, what a scumbag!

The two officers were furious.

These days, finding a girlfriend is tough, but this guy has not one, but two, and they are both famous beauties in Jiangzhou.

What on earth did he do to deserve this?

One officer, unable to contain his anger, shouted at Ye Qiu, “You’re playing with people’s feelings and violating moral principles.”

“I think you’re mistaken. Sister Lin and Director Bai both know about each other’s existence and their relationship with me. They get along very well.”

Damn…

The two officers stared at Ye Qiu, filled with envy.

“We have one more question…”

…

Half an hour later.

Ye Qiu walked out of the police station. As soon as he reached the entrance, he ran into Guo Danu.

To Ye Qiu’s surprise, in just one day, Guo Danu looked like a different person. His hair was disheveled, his face was lined with wrinkles, and he seemed to have aged decades overnight, losing all his former vigor.

Seeing Ye Qiu, Guo Danu’s expression was as if he had seen a ghost. Pointing at Ye Qiu, he said, “Weren’t you arrested by the police? How are you out?”

Ye Qiu smiled, “The police said I was innocent, so they let me go.”

“That’s impossible!” Guo Danu roared. “You killed Shaocong. You’re a murderer!”

“Vice President Guo, you can eat whatever you want, but you can’t say whatever you want. You say I killed Guo Shaocong. Did you see it with your own eyes? Without evidence, how can you call me a murderer? If you keep slandering me, I’ll sue you for defamation.”

“You—you—”

Guo Danu was so angry he couldn’t speak.

Ye Qiu continued, “Those who do evil will eventually bring about their own destruction. Guo Shaocong committed many crimes and deserved his fate. As his father, you are also responsible for not teaching him properly. However, I still want to say, Vice President Guo, my condolences.”

“Ye Qiu, don’t be so arrogant. I won’t let you get away with this…”

Beep beep beep!

Before Guo Danu could finish, his phone suddenly rang.

Seeing that it was the hospital president calling, Guo Danu suppressed his anger and answered, “President, what is it?”

“Guo Danu, I am officially notifying you on behalf of the organization: you are fired!”
