"I've confessed!"
"Why must you drive
to the brink?"
"Why drive
to the brink?"
Li Jindao sat weakly on the chair, muttering to himself.
Qin Fei looked at him indifferently: "The person who committed the cri should confess, and surely now you're guilty as well."
Li Jindao chuckled, then painfully closed his eyes.
Chen Xiao looked at him and sat back down in the chair.
Li Jindao sensed the movent, his eyes full of hatred as he looked at him:
"Chen Xiao, wouldn't it be better for
to confess? Wouldn't it be enough that I'm taking responsibility for Lian Yuhong? My wife and I are one, what's the difference between her pardon and mine?"
"There's no point in saying this."
"But she... she really didn't expect Lian Yuhong to die. She told
she was just too angry at the ti, thinking Lian Yuhong betrayed Li Xi, especially because of that old man Peng Yuanqing. So she cursed Lian Yuhong a few tis, saying she should die like her father!"
"I can't imagine, what would happen to her if she went to prison! She has no temper and is so frail, what if soone inside bullied her?"
"I beg you, let
go in! I'll pay for everything on her behalf!"
Listening to Li Jindao's words, Chen Xiao frowned:
"Are you saying that Gu Rong initially didn't intend to push Lian Yuhong to death?"
"Yes, you've interacted with her, and of course, you may not believe what I say. But she wouldn't do such a thuggish thing; we were stunned when we received the news of Yuhong's death the next day, and it was only then that we thought Yuhong might have been coerced rather than betrayed."
"But now that she's dead, what can we do? We can only try to cover up all of this."
Listening to Li Jindao, Chen Xiao furrowed his brow: "Do you understand the law?"
Li Jindao said solemnly: "Of course I understand the law."
"Then why did you make this choice?"
"I want to confess on behalf of my wife, isn't that allowed?"
Chen Xiao said indifferently: "But according to what you have said, it's not easy for the law to convict Gu Rong. Because she was simply venting her anger at Lian Yuhong, the only point worth arguing is that she brought up Lian Da's death, suggesting the possibility of inducing Lian Yuhong's suicide."
"Even on this point, it would be hard for a judge to directly determine Gu Rong's criminal behavior, wouldn't it? If Gu Rong had confessed earlier, even the nature of the circumstances would be debatable. Since you understand the law, you should know that the only person in this event whose criminal behavior is certain is Peng Yuanqing!"
"So according to your description of the case, are you taking the bla for Gu Rong or Peng Yuanqing?"
After Chen Xiao finished speaking, Qin Fei also added: "You can't see Gu Rong anymore; she has already confessed, so does holding onto your stubborn resistance still make sense?"
Li Jindao roared angrily again: "Enough! Enough!"
Qin Fei looked coldly: "It seems it would be more fruitful to interrogate Gu Rong than you."
Li Jindao wanted to struggle but Chen Xiao and Qin Fei left the interrogation room.
After coming out, Chen Xiao kept frowning.
Qin Fei sighed at this mont: "I understand what you're conflicted about now, I'll take you to see so docunts soon, and you'll understand why Li Jindao did this."
Chen Xiao nodded, thinking that the docunts Qin Fei would show him would likely be about Li Jindao and Gu Rong's marital relationship.
It was he who earlier reminded Qin Fei to do this.
The two first arrived at the latter's office, Qin Fei said: "These are temporarily investigated matters, but just these few things can show that their marital feelings can be described as deep affection between husband and wife."
Chen Xiao didn't speak, quietly watching.
Just seeing one of the incidents, Chen Xiao suddenly realized.
It turned out when Li Jindao was still mixing with society, Gu Rong, who was already in love with him, had blocked a knife from an enemy for him.
That knife left a very terrifying scar on Gu Rong's body that remains to this day.
Later, when Li Jindao turned over a new leaf, Gu Rong and her parents kept paying for Li Jindao.
From these docunted events, Chen Xiao could confirm that if Li Jindao had any conscience, then he certainly willing to do anything for Gu Rong.
From this, it was also completely deducible that Gu Rong wasn't just venting her anger, but truly had the intent to drive Lian Yuhong to death.
Closing all the docunts, Chen Xiao sighed: "Let's go see Gu Rong."
Qin Fei nodded.
Subsequently, the two walked into the interrogation room where Gu Rong was.
At this mont, Gu Rong was very quiet, looking up silently at Chen Xiao and Qin Fei.
Chen Xiao also looked at her: "Mrs. Li, you can probably guess what your husband has told us, can't you?"
Gu Rong smiled and nodded: "He probably took everything onto himself, right? But, I guess does he end up getting more tangled up, exposing all the flaws?"
"More or less, it seems you really understand your husband."
"He's a crude man, and now I regret listening to him. Instead of letting him fall into this ss, I should have just co forward early on." Gu Rong said, with regret in her eyes but also with relief.
Chen Xiao paused and asked:
"Then tell
why you had to push Lian Yuhong to death?"
"The person who inadvertently discovered those photos wasn't Golden Saber, it was ! I was furious when I discovered the photos, even wanting to confront them on the spot. But, at that ti Li Xi was present. I didn't want my son to face such a harsh reality, so I swallowed it down."
"After enduring, I also fantasized, whether Lian Yuhong would leave nobly of her own accord. But later I observed and found out, her choice was to conceal, pretend none of this ever happened!"
"Yes, I saw after calming down that there were discrepancies in those photos, and I understood she was entrapped by Peng Yuanqing, that shaless old man. But I always thought, after going through such a thing, regardless of the depth of her feelings for my son, she should withdraw from this relationship."
"I and Old Li have been married for decades. In my heart, both family affection and love are untouchable. But her deeds sullied the bond between her and my son. So, after days of observation, my patience reached its limit!"
"But she didn't, her upbringing made it impossible for her to give up the happiness my son brought her. I also considered whether to reveal this matter directly, but in the end, I didn't dare. I was afraid Li Xi couldn't bear it, he almost inheriting all the flaws of Old Li and 's character."
"He's capricious, willing to go all-in for love just as I insisted on marrying Old Li back then without looking back. He's hypersensitive and irritable just like Old Li would go and fight a gang when he found out about betrayal."
"I tested my son, using TV shows to ask him similar questions, his expressions and reactions at the ti told
he would truly beco extre."
"I already blocked a knife for Old Li back then, I fear my son might do such things again and I won't be able to block it. Hence, after much pondering, I decided to act personally. As long as Lian Yuhong died, then after grieving for a period, my son could let go."
"That dirty secret must never be known to him!"
"Of course, at the mont I decided to act, I gave Lian Yuhong the choice. Because I prepared two plans, one was for her to suddenly disappear from this world, but I knew that plan was risky and likely to get caught by the police. The other plan, was for her to die the sa way her father did."
"Finally, Lian Yuhong knew she couldn't face the reality of everything being exposed, she chose the latter. And I foolishly thought her death would, like her father's, go unresolved."
