Chapter 772: Interrogation (2)

“I asked at the time, but Teacher Wei said if I didn’t want to do it, I could just leave. After all, there were plenty of people waiting outside to be his assistant. I couldn’t afford to lose this job!” n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

Yuan Zheng rubbed his hands in frustration. In fact, she was just a recent college graduate, new to the workforce without any connections. If she offended her superiors right at the start of her career, the days ahead would likely be tough.

Captain Liu didn’t want to press him further. He nodded and said, “If everything you’ve said is true, I will try to handle your case with leniency.”

Upon hearing this, Yuan Zheng looked up hopefully and said, “Really? If I can provide some other information, can you release me immediately?”

Captain Liu furrowed his brow in thought.

What Yuan Zheng did didn’t quite amount to a crime.

So he agreed, “Alright, as long as the information you provide is useful to our investigation, I will consider it.”

With a smile on her face, Yuan Zheng felt a wave of relief wash over her. “Officer, I know that Teacher Wei has always been dissatisfied with Teacher Feng Mo! When you mentioned earlier that it was suspicious for me to be called to the main control room by Wei Gang, I also felt the same way!”

” Why did the incident with the machine happen precisely when Teacher Feng Mo’s daughter was performing on stage? I think Wei Gang must have deliberately targeted Teacher Feng Mo!”

“Besides this, do you know any other information?” Captain Liu asked carefully.

Yuan Zheng thought for a moment and shook her head. “Other than that, I don’t know anything else. Thinking back now, why did Wei Gang assign me, a newcomer, this task? It must have been a premeditated plan. He definitely wanted to shift all the blame onto me!”

“But don’t you find that reckless?” Captain Liu asked in surprise. “As a newcomer, if you were caught, wouldn’t you quickly expose him?”

Yuan Zheng looked conflicted. “Maybe he didn’t expect Ms. Mei to directly report the incident to the police and escalate the situation? Actually, I also find this hard to understand. Why would Ms. Mei report such a minor incident to the police?”

“You said something right there.” Captain Liu said firmly. “He was confident that Mei Shu wouldn’t dare to report him afterwards!”

Because he thought Mei Shu had already violated the contract and used the second-hand machines without authorization!

If that were true, Mei Shu would probably be busy hiding it right now. How could she have let the matter become so widely known?

Looking at it this way, Wei Gang definitely didn’t just want to cause trouble at the scene. The destruction of those machines probably had something to do with him too!

Having figured out the crux of the matter, Captain Liu immediately sent someone to bring Wei Gang back for questioning.

Before that, he had specially requested someone to retrieve Wei Gang’s recent financial records and found a clue.

In the hospital room.

Mei Shu was surfing the internet on her phone when she unexpectedly received the latest police report. She happily waved to the man beside her, “Ah Si, come and take a look, Captain Liu finally has some new progress!”

“His progress is still quite slow.” Lu Si commented lightly, putting down his laptop and getting up from the sofa.

Mei Shu shifted aside to make room for him to sit down, handing him her phone. “The police have identified the suspect for the intentional sabotage of the backstage equipment during the competition, and the suspect has confessed.”

“Is that so?” Lu Si chuckled. “It seems that even Captain Liu can’t easily get to the bottom of things.”

Mei Shu shrugged. “Take it easy. I believe Captain Liu won’t let personal biases interfere with his duties.”

Lu Si casually took the apple she was eating, “It’s time for dinner. Let your stomach rest for a while.”

“Hey, you!” Mei Shu was about to grab it back when someone knocked on the door of the hospital room.

She could only give him a fierce glare and let the person outside come in first.

Jiang He walked in with a smile, followed closely by Tang Mei, her head wrapped in bandages.

Tang Mei knelt down as soon as she entered the room, “President Mei, I’m sorry for causing you trouble.”

“Get up quickly.” Mei Shu gestured to Jiang He to help her up, “You don’t need to apologize to me. You’re the victim in this whole incident, I’ll give you a few days off. Rest at home and recover from your injuries first. When you’re better, you can come back to work. Don’t worry, I won’t deduct your salary, and bonuses will still be paid.”

“No.” Tang Mei stubbornly shook her head. “I don’t need a break. President Mei, you don’t need to worry about me like this. The more you say that, the more guilty I feel.”

She covered her face and started crying uncontrollably.

Mei Shu handed her a tissue.

Jiang He took it for her and handed it over, “Stop crying. Miss Mei is not someone who holds grudges, especially since your brother caused this trouble and you got injured as a result. There’s really no need for you to blame yourself.”

Tang Mei took the tissue and wiped away her tears and snot, looking like a repentant little girl. “Thank you, President Mei, but I really don’t need a break. The work you assigned to me isn’t finished yet. I’ll work overtime tonight and make sure to give you an answer as soon as possible!”
