Chapter 671: Chapter 671 - The Truth Back Then (Part One)

Cai Jie said, “We have to say goodbye to the past before we can move towards the future at ease.”

Her eyes were bright as she said, “So what if Ji Yue was the unforgettable lover in his heart? At the end of the day, I’m the one who has been by his side. Xiao Fan, I’m luckier than Ji Yue. I’ve been with your father for more than thirty years. I’ll continue to accompany him in the future. As for her, she only shared three years with your father.”

More importantly, everyone had someone they could not let go.

Han Bing had one, and so did Cai Jie.

The image of this woman whose life revolved around rice, oil, and salt suddenly became more vivd in Han Luofan’s heart.

“Alright, there’s nothing else to pack up here. You fell into the water today. Drink some ginger tea before returning to your room to rest.”

“Okay.”

Han Luofan poured the ginger tea out of the thermos bottle. Just as he took a sip, he heard Cai Jie mutter, “Seriously, you’re already a young man in his thirties. It’s not good to have such weak mental endurance.” Cai Jie glared at Han Luofan and said, “If you dare to commit suicide again, don’t appear in front of me again.”

Han Luofan thought: If I say that I just wanted to go into the water to calm down, would you believe me?

…

Han Bing drove to the Public Security Bureau. Just as he walked in, he saw Chu Jian. Chu Jian was clearly waiting for him in the hall. When he saw him, he called out to Secretary Han softly and brought Han Bing to his office.

Chu Jian poured a cup of tea for Han Bing and said, “I only have this tea here.” He was slightly embarrassed as he said, “I bought it from the supermarket. It costs 20 yuan per tael.”

Han Bing smiled and took a sip.

He had drunk tea that cost a few yuan a tael, and also one that cost a few hundred yuan a tael. The price was different, and there was disparity in the tastes as well. However, he had his eyes on the person who was drinking the tea with him, not the taste of the tea itself. Han Bing took a sip and said, “Not bad.”

Chu Jian was flattered.

The two of them did not exchange pleasantries. Chu Jian was a straightforward person and told him frankly, “It’s Yuan Ting.”

Upon hearing this woman’s name, Han Bing’s aura turned cold.

Chu Jian said, “At first, he wasn’t willing to admit it. We used some methods to get it out of him.” Chu Jian took out a surveillance video and inserted it into the computer. He turned it on before turning the computer screen in front of Han Bing.

Han Bing’s eyes were as dark as water. He watched the video quietly. When he heard Zheng Chu mentioned Yuan Ting’s name and confessed what happened when he kidnapped Ji Yue back then, his emotions softened.

The following were Zheng Chu’s exact words—

“That’s right. Ji Yue was indeed kidnapped by me, but I didn’t do it willingly. It was Yuan Ting… That woman doesn’t deserve to be called Ting, so I called her a bitch. When you record this, will you be referring to her as ‘bitch’?”

The policeman in charge of the questioning said, “No.”

Zheng Chu pursed his lips and said, “Let me give you a suggestion. It’s more appropriate to use ‘bitch’ to represent her.”

The policeman said, “Cut the crap. Tell me.”

Zheng Chu narrowed his eyes, as if he had fallen into a deep memory.

He said, “I’m not too sure either. I roughly remember that Ji Yue seemed to have quarreled with our Secretary Han. She was in a bad mood and took a plane to the Maldives with one of her brothers. When that bitch found out about this, she asked me to go to the Maldives in advance and found two skilled local people to take Ji Yue away from the toilet window.”

“We completed the handover at the agreed place. According to the bitch’s request, I brought Ji Yue to an inconspicuous small apartment. Ji Yue was locked in the apartment for more than seven months. During this time, it was that bitch who asked others to take care of her.”

“When I saw Ji Yue again, she was already a little crazy. She kept repeating that everything’s gone.”

“I followed that bitch’s instructions and threw Ji Yue to a nursing hospital.”

The policeman then asked, “What’s the name of the nursing home?”

“I think it’s called…” Zheng Chu thought for a while before saying,”Lan Kong Mental Institution. ”

“How long was she locked up there?”

“About two months. Later on, her condition worsened, so the hospital called me to pick her up.” At this point, Zheng Chu changed his sitting posture. He seemed to have remembered something bad, and his eyes were filled with disgust.

The police asked, “You took her away?”

Zheng Chu nodded and remained silent.

“What happened after that?”

Zheng Chu suddenly asked the police, “Can you give me a cigarette?”

“Wait.”

A moment later, he threw a cigarette in front of Zheng Chu.

This old man lit his cigarette and took a deep breath to relieve the melancholy in his heart. He sighed and said, “I called that bitch and asked her how to deal with Ji Yue.” Zheng Chu sneered and said, “A woman’s heart is really vicious.”

“I thought that bitch would ask me to send Ji Yue back to the country or to another mental hospital, but that bitch wanted me to sell her in India.”

“That’s India… During that period of time, India was especially chaotic. As you know, that country has always been quite chaotic. Women can be said to have no status in that country, especially those women with poor family backgrounds.” Zheng Chu took a puff of the cigarette into his lungs. After a moment of silence, he exhaled some smoke from his nose.

He looked up at the smoke and said, “I brought her to India. I thought that Mumbai in India was doing better so there might be rich people who were willing to buy her and maybe she would have a better life in the future. In the end, the human traffickers who bought her despised her for being a fool and saw that she was beautiful, so they…”

Zheng Chu’s hands trembled as he wiped his face before saying, “After they got tired of playing with her, they sold her to a lowly commoner at a low price.”

“I originally wanted to take Ji Yue away, but that bitch threatened me. If I dared to let her go, she would expose my secret. I’ve killed people before.” Zheng Chu smiled and resigned himself to fate. “Anyway, I’ve lived to this age. It’s nothing to go to jail.”

In the interrogation room, no one else spoke.

They could not imagine how much helplessness and despair a young girl would feel when she experienced that kind of thing.

Zheng Chu said, “That’s not all! When those human traffickers violated and insulted Ji Yue, that bitch even wanted me to take a video for her to relieve her boredom.” Zheng Chu sighed. “Women are really ruthless, so I haven’t gotten married in my life. I’m just afraid of meeting a bitch like that Yuan.”

“You don’t know how disgusting those Virgin Mary television dramas she acted in were.”

The video went silent. No one spoke.

“Oh, right.” Zheng Chu seemed to have thought of something and said, “My house. There’s a small box under the floor under the bed. Inside it is hidden evidence of the employers I’ve served over the years. Go take that thing away. With that thing, you can catch many bad people, including this bitch.”
