Ch93.1 - Premeditated (1/2)
“After you go in, pay attention to what you say. They’re recording.” Huang Ting cautioned them only of this before opening the door and letting Zhou Sheng and Yu Hao in.

This was Yu Hao’s first time entering an interrogation room at a police station. Legally, Ou Qihang could be questioned here for 24 hours. There was only one table, a few chairs, and a lamp in the middle. The walls of the room looked both eerie and severe.
Ou Qihang also looked very haggard and on the verge of falling asleep as he sat at the table, yet he couldn’t lie down on the table. When he heard the noise, he suddenly raised his head and a ray of hope appeared in his eyes.
“I didn’t say I wanted to see you.” Ou Qihang said.
Huang Ting and another policeman stood at the side and asked Yu Hao, “Yu Hao, was he the person you encountered the night before yesterday?”
Yu Hao and Ou Qihang looked at each other. Ou Qihang smiled helplessly.
“Yes.” Yu Hao said to Huang Ting.

Huang Ting confirmed it with Zhou Sheng again. After he finished asking his questions, he left with the other policeman and closed the door behind him.
“I didn’t say I wanted to see you.” Ou Qihang said to Zhou Sheng.
“I’m here to be a bodyguard.” Zhou Sheng said, “Lest a rabid dog like you suddenly does something while you’re talking and bite my wife.”
Yu Hao, “……”
“You’re the rabid dog.” Ou Qihang retorted, and after a moment, he added, “Your skills aren’t bad.”
Yu Hao said, “Qihang, I hope you can live your life well, stop doing foolish things.”
Ou Qihang gazed at Yu Hao and said, “This isn’t something foolish. I thought you would be able to understand me, but looks like you think the same way as them.”
“Why did your father commit suicide?” Zhou Sheng said, “In the past half a year, have you properly thought about it?”
Ou Qihang looked at the surrounding walls, “I have. A lot of people must be listening in on us now ba.”

“Not a lot.” Zhou Sheng answered, “Do you think they would be stupid enough to let a whole group of policemen listen to us chat?”

Ou Qihang said, “When I went to see you that day, I had a lot of things I wanted to say to you. I wanted to ask you to help me.”

Zhou Sheng frowned slightly. Yu Hao looked up at Ou Qihang and asked, “Why me?”
“I’ve been inquiring about you guys for a long time.” Ou Qihang said softly, “The two of you saved a child who was sexually assaulted by her father, saved a teacher in your college who was a victim of domestic violence……the two of you picked up the money that my Dad hid in the reservoir, but didn’t take it for yourselves. I thought that if I told you the truth, you would stand up for me.”
“I thought that you must have some kind of superpower.” Ou Qihang leaned over slightly. The sound of Zhou Sheng fiddling about with the lighter stopped instantly; he raised a hand slightly, ready to protect Yu Hao.
“You’re overthinking it.” Yu Hao laughed bitterly, “What superpower? There was just no other choice.”
“Indeed.” Zhou Sheng said, “We saw injustice right in front of our eyes ma, so we would stand up for it once in awhile. But we won’t save you, you’re not worthy of redemption.”
Ou Qihang leaned back slightly and mocked, “Why?”

Zhou Sheng said coldly, “Because you injured an innocent journalist by causing her to sprain her ankle, and still haven’t asked about her situation so far.”
Ou Qihang was startled for a moment.
Yu Hao, “……”
Yu Hao thought that when Zhou Sheng got serious, his trash talking skill was practically maxed out.
“Of course, you can even throw away your own life.” Zhou Sheng continued, “And you don’t even care about your own mother, so how could you have anyone else in your eyes? Why would someone as strong as you need redemption? More like you should be the one redeeming us, right?”
Yu Hao had wanted to try starting from Ou Qihang’s father to accomplish their task, and do his best to guide him, but Zhou Sheng had taken the lead, so now he wasn’t really involved. He knows that Ou Qihang must be exhausted right now, his psychological defenses on the verge of disintegration and collapse. His inner world must be a chaotic turmoil filled with blustering gales and lightning now.
If they still had the Golden Crow Wheel, then what would Ou Qihang’s inner world be like? Would such a cold-blooded person still hope for sunlight to befall him?

“I’m not strong.” Ou Qihang suddenly said, “I’m very weak, otherwise why would I resort to this sort of method to fight?”
The interrogation room lapsed into a momentary silence. Zhou Sheng and Yu Hao both looked at Ou Qihang. At this time, Yu Hao felt that Ou Qihang was about to open up, purely based on his intuition.
Zhou Sheng said, “This is the last hour I’ll give you. Act as if there’s no recording here ba, explain the whole matter clearly, get your bail pending trial, then go home to spend time with your mother. It’s up to you whether you want to talk or not. If you don’t want to, we’ll leave; my temper isn’t as good as Yu Hao’s.”
Ou Qihang’s brows furrowed slightly.
“My father was a good man all his life.” Ou Qihang said.
