The next day, the police came to Lin Gantang to take down her statement. This matter was of a bad nature, and no one planned to let Zhou Manbai off.
There was a policewoman among the police officers who came. She was mainly the one asking questions. Her tone was quite gentle and relaxed.
There was also Lawyer Zhuang beside Lin Gantang, who was hired by Wen Yanqing.
After the police left, Lin Gantang asked Lawyer Zhuang what would happen if Zhou Manbai was convicted.
“Kidnapping is the first crime, and intentional assault is the second. She was also involved in another murder case. If the circumstances are serious, she’ll be sentenced to more than ten years in prison, life imprisonment, or the death penalty. Miss Lin,” said Lawyer Zhuang as he rubbed his eyes. “Depending on what you want, I’ll help you fight for it.”
Lawyer Zhuang didn’t clarify what he meant, but she understood – fight for a higher sentence.
Lin Gantang had injured Zhou Manbai in self-defense. Zhou Manbai was now under surveillance and treatment in the hospital’s designated residence. Wen Yanqing had obtained the right to visit and walked in.
Zhou Manbai was injured in the head, but she was already awake. She was bandaging her wound, and her condition was more serious than Lin Gantang. “Are you here to laugh at me?” Zhou Manbai’s expressionless face turned vicious when she saw him.
“To laugh? There’s no need,” Wen Yanqing said calmly.
“Then why are you here? You must be very pleased with yourself now, right?” Zhou Manbai’s tone was cold and unpleasant to the ears. “You see that I have no way out, but so what? I won’t confess!”
“So what if you don’t admit your guilt? The evidence has been preserved.” Wen Yanqing looked at her vicious face and asked, “So that night when you asked my dad to plead for mercy, you were also pretending?”
“I, Zhou Manbai, will never admit defeat! Wen Yanqing, I only regret not driving the car down the cliff!” Zhou Manbai’s expression was ferocious. “It’s not a loss for me to drag Lin Gantang along to die!”
“You still think that you’re not in the wrong. Then, when you said that you wanted me to get your brother out, you weren’t sincere either?” Wen Yanqing asked.
“Of course I’m sincere.” Zhou Manbai looked at Wen Yanqing with a sinister smile. “Money will run out eventually. My brother will be able to earn money. If I bring him out, I won’t have to worry about food and clothing even if I’m in a foreign country. But you ruined my plan, Wen Yanqing!”
“In your heart, human lives are worthless. Your relatives also mean nothing to you. Zhou Manbai, how many people have you harmed with your selfishness?”
“I regret that I wasn’t more ruthless. I shouldn’t have been so indecisive back then. If I had known that this would be the end result, I would have killed you the year you returned to the Wen family!” Zhou Manbai said viciously.
“Just because of property? That makes you hate me so much?” Wen Yanqing asked.
“The person I hate is Wen Rendong’s son. What do you know about the grudge between Wen Rendong and me?” Zhou Manbai’s eyes were filled with hatred.
“I don’t know, but I’m bearing the consequences for him?”
Zhou Manbai laughed out loud. Her expression was fierce when she stopped. “Go ask your father then!”
Hatred would increase. From the fear of Fang Xin and her son to her hatred of Wen Rendong’s favoritism for Wen Yanqing, it piled up in her heart one by one, and the negative emotions accumulated and rotted.
However, at the end of the day, Zhou Manbai’s heart had already turned dark.
“The reason I’m here is because your brother asked his lawyer to look for me. He’s willing to give up everything, but he hopes that I can withdraw the lawsuit against you,” Wen Yanqing explained.
Zhou Manbai’s vicious expression froze.
“He wants to see you, so I got someone to bail him out. He’s been waiting at the door of the ward. I’m not sure if he heard what you said just now,” said Wen Yanqing.
“Wen Yanqing!” He deliberately let her brother hear this!
