Chapter 120: Regardless of the Future, Regardless of the Consequences

Huo Zhendong had already anticipated that Fu Yahui would confess everything to the police. He was therefore not in the least surprised when the police officers came knocking on his door early in the morning.

The police officers showed him the warrant for his arrest and they subsequently brought Huo Zhendong back to the police station for further interrogation. However, although faced with Fu Yahui’s accusations, Huo Zhendong merely smiled and asked, “Officer, you are accusing me of homicide, but where is your evidence? I understand my wife very well. She is in trouble right now and I know that she would not want me to be in a better situation as compared to her. Are you going to accuse me of a crime that I did not commit just because of what she has said?”

“Your wife said that both of you were from the same primary school. How do you explain that?”

“Officer, are you going to easily believe everything that she says? You can conduct your investigations and determine if her claims are indeed true,” Huo Zhendong replied confidently. “I have already told you that she is the best at shifting the blame onto others. Otherwise, how else would I have been deceived by her in the past five years? Are you really going to believe everything that a criminal says?”

The two police officers who were interrogating Huo Zhendong exchanged glances with one another and they both agreed that this man was indeed a sly old fox.

However, since they did not have any evidence on hand to charge him for any crime, they had no other choice but to release him after ten hours.

“Officer, I have no problem with this at all. You can ask me any questions that you need to. You might not be able to find me after this because I will be going abroad tomorrow. My daughter has fourth stage cervical cancer and I am bringing her overseas to seek treatment immediately. If you do not believe what I am saying, you can investigate that too.”

The police officers knew that there was something suspicious about Huo Zhendong, but they could not do anything because they did not have any evidence on him at all.

He really was a very sly person.

Huo Zhendong was very arrogant and he looked extremely relaxed even though he was being held in the interrogation room. He did not feel any pressure at all because he knew that no one in this world would be capable of convicting him unless Jiang Zhitong was still alive.

Furthermore, he had already transferred all of the shares that he owned in Dongheng Enterprise over to Fu Yahui. Even if Dongheng Enterprise was to be liquidated, it would have nothing to do with him because he would not know anything about it.

Huo Zhendong had already cleared himself of everything that could possibly incriminate him.

…

After consulting with Ku Jie, Jiang Yuning then drove her car over to Grandpa Tan’s house late in the afternoon.

Grandpa Tan would always avoid Jiang Yuning’s gaze nowadays. Perhaps this was because he had a guilty conscience.

However, the more he acted this way, the more Jiang Yuning felt that there was something suspicious about him. Jiang Yuning did not say anything but she quietly observed the old man as he taught her how to perform acupuncture. After some time, she suddenly said, “Grandpa Tan, I received news this morning that my mother had confessed to all her crimes. She also told the police officer that Huo Zhendong was the murderer who killed my father. However, the police do not have any evidence and therefore, they cannot charge him for the crime. I feel that this is so unjust. I really want to take revenge for my father.”

Grandpa Tan thought about it and he felt very uneasy after listening to Jiang Yuning’s words.

He knew this girl’s temper very well. Once she had decided on something, she would stop at nothing to achieve her goal.

“Well, Yuning…your father has already gone a long time ago. You should not continue living in the past but focus on the future instead.”

“I really cannot sit around and do nothing while I watch the bad guy go unpunished…” Jiang Yuning replied with a bitter smile on her face. “Grandpa Tan, I do not think that I will be coming to learn from you anymore. I…I need to focus on avenging my father’s death.”

The old man was really afraid after listening to Jiang Yuning’s words. Would this girl really attempt to avenge her father?

The old man felt very uneasy.

“How could you think this way? It must have been so difficult for young Jingzhi to help you in the past. Wouldn’t you be letting him down if you let everything go to waste now?”

“I cannot worry about that right now. I have to be filial towards my father,” Jiang Yuning replied before she looked away, indicating that she no longer wanted to talk about this.
