The captain of the criminal police had no objections. Although he wanted to close this case, they had to take into account the feelings of the victim. Moreover, the criminal had already been caught. It would not affect the outcome if they interrogated him one day earlier or one day later.
Tian Tian lay in bed for an entire day and night while Tao Zhi sat beside her bed to accompany her.
âAir Zhiâ¦â Tian Tian opened her eyes and saw Tao Zhi sleeping by her bed. âAre you tired? Then come to bed and sleep.â
When Tao Zhi heard her voice, he immediately woke up. He grabbed Tian Tianâs hand tightly and asked with concern, âTian Tian, how do you feel?â Are you feeling uncomfortable anywhere? Are you hungry? Do you want to eat something first?â
Tian Tian smiled and said softly, Iâm fine now. Thereâs no need to be so nervous but Iâm indeed a little hungry. I feel like I can swallow a cow now.â
Tao Zhi caressed Tian Tianâs cheek and said, âIâll get someone to bring porridge over tonight. Rourou said that you havenât eaten anything for three days and itâs not suitable for you to eat things that are difficult to digest. Letâs have some porridge first. When youâre better, Iâll take you to eat roasted whole beef.â
In order to make Tao Zhi less worried, Tian Tian deliberately tried to liven up the atmosphere. âI donât like to eat roasted beef. I only like cakes. Letâs go buy cakes in a few days.â
Tao Zhi agreed. âAlright, Iâll buy your cakes once youâve recovered.â
When Tian Tian was able to walk, the criminal police sent someone over to question her. Tian Tian didnât hide anything and told him everything she knew. That afternoon, she walked to the car with Zhu Ren. Zhu Ren opened the door to the back seat and sprinkled something on her face. She became dizzy after smelling it. She did not know what happened after that. When she woke up again, she was already in that room.
There were too many people on the road that day. There were also many cars parked by the road. The cars blocked the view, so no one noticed that she was drugged and taken away.
Tao Zhi wanted to kill Zhu Ren immediately, but he couldnât do anything now that Zhu Ren was in the police station.
The next morning, Tan Rou and Tao Zhi went to the police station together. Tan Rou was here to record her statement because she had shot Zhu Ren. Whether it was intentional or not, she had to be here.
Tao Zhi was here to find Zhu Ren. He really wanted to know why Zhu Ren had kidnapped Tian Tian. Did he really just want money?
After Zhu Ren saw Tao Zhi, he was very calm and did not look as crazy as before. Tao Zhi sat opposite Zhu Ren. He clenched his fists so tightly that the veins on the back of his hands were bulging. If it werenât for the police watching him, he would have dragged Zhu Ren up and beaten him up.
âWhy did you kidnap my wife?â Tao Zhi tried his best to remain calm. âIâve already let go of the matter of you poisoning me back then. I didnât expect you to actually want to harm my wife!â
âI didnât want to harm your wife.â Zhu Ren rolled his eyes at him.
âI just want to get some money from you! The reason? Iâve worked for so many years. Why did you take away the honor that originally belonged to me?â
âI never wanted to steal your honor. You know that I wonât stay there for too long. If you didnât poison me, I would have left in a few years!â
âWhy should you leave just like that?â Zhu Ren was a little agitated. âSince you donât care about that place at all, why do you go there in the first place?!â
âThatâs not something I can decide,â Tao Zhi sighed.
He didnât like staying there, but he didnât know where to go, so he rested there for the time being. After his hand was injured, Tao Zhi had no reason to stay there anymore. He left without hesitation.
The reason why he didnât pursue the matter of Zhu Ren poisoning him was because he didnât want to stay any longer. Zhu Ren poisoning him gave him a reason to leave. Zhu Ren didnât care about Tao Zhiâs difficulties. He only felt that Tao Zhi was an eyesore. âI donât regret poisoning you at all. I only regret that I didnât go a little further and only poisoned your hand!â
Tao Zhiâs eyes were filled with ferocity. âThen I wonât go easy on you either, We can still dig up the things that happened back then and interrogate them again. Kidnapping and poisoning, I think you can spend the rest of your life in prison.â
