Chapter 399: Chapter 399: Is This How You Repay Him?
Huo Tingdong stared fixedly at her.
She flailed her arms and legs in frantic denial, trying to clear herself. But as he looked at her, in a daze, he saw the image of her younger self.
Back then, she was innocent, pure, and kind-hearted. She told him she wanted to beco the best doctor in the world, to conquer diseases and save countless lives.
How could soone dedicated to such a noble ideal turn into such a cruel murderer?
He curled his lips in a mocking smile and said flatly, “Song Shuyan, do you love this much?”
Song Shuyan froze in shock.
Huo Tingdong raised an eyebrow slightly. “You’d kill soone just to have ?”
Her face turned pale as she stubbornly shook her head, relentlessly denying it: “I didn’t kill anyone! I swear I didn’t kill anyone!!”
She scread hoarsely, struggling violently.
The chains binding her hands and feet clanked loudly.
Song Shuyan began crying, sobbing helplessly: “Tingdong, I really didn’t… I really…”
She cried in such a pitiful, sorrowful way, as if she were completely innocent and had been wrongfully accused.
Huo Tingdong said, “Song Shuyan, I was the one who personally sent you here. Do you think I’d accuse you without solid evidence?”
Song Shuyan: “…”
Huo Tingdong continued, “Back at the camp, you were the one who pushed Lin Qi, weren’t you?”
Song Shuyan grew even more agitated: “Do you have proof? You don’t have proof! You can’t accuse like this!”
Huo Tingdong said, “Song Shuyan, you’d better confess. No matter your sentence, soone in your situation won’t get the death penalty. If you confess now, at least you’ll be safe in prison.”
After pausing for a mont, he said coldly, “Otherwise, I won’t let you go.”
If the law couldn’t punish her, he would use his own ans.
Song Shuyan was stunned.
It was the first ti she had heard such steel-hard words from his mouth!
Her face turned ashen: “Are you threatening ? What, if I get out, you’ll kill without a shred of rcy?!”
Huo Tingdong replied, “I won’t kill you, but I have plenty of ways to make you wish you were dead.”
He paused again and asked, “So, do you know what you need to do now?”
Song Shuyan’s eyes turned blank.
She shook her head repeatedly, losing her composure as she cried bitterly: “It wasn’t … It really wasn’t ! Tingdong, why can’t you believe !? Why won’t you believe …”
Her sobs turned into gut-wrenching wails.
The police heard her crying and stord in, reprimanding her: “Stop crying!”
Huo Tingdong frowned deeply, feeling a complete sense of disappointnt.
He knew Song Shuyan wouldn’t confess easily, nor would she ever confess willingly.
After all, murder was a serious cri—even if it wouldn’t lead to the death penalty, her youth would be spent behind bars. She wasn’t going to accept that.
Huo Tingdong slowly stood up and turned to leave the visitation room.
Behind him, Song Shuyan was still screaming hysterically, like a madwoman: “Tingdong, don’t abandon ! Don’t leave here! Take away! Take away! I won’t fight for you anymore; I won’t compete with Lin Qi for you! Now I understand, you belong to her—I can’t take you from her! I won’t love you anymore, won’t dare to love you anymore… Just take away! I don’t want to stay here—I’ll go crazy if I stay here much longer…”
“Just kill ! You might as well kill outright! At least then I’d have so relief—stop torturing …”
She was so proud.
As a young PhD holder in dicine, she had started at the top the mont she graduated.
She had a brilliant future ahead of her.
But she hadn’t envisioned squandering her few pri years in this hellhole!
Huo Tingdong didn’t look back at her even once.
The heavy steel door slamd shut behind him.
Mo Ke stood outside the door. Seeing Huo Tingdong’s darkened expression, he knew negotiations had failed.
In fact, he had already heard Song Shuyan’s screams through the door.
She was still clinging to her delusions, refusing to confess.
Mo Ke said, “Mr. Huo, if she doesn’t confess, I’m afraid she might stir up more trouble later.”
Huo Tingdong said, “Then let’s wait and see. I want to see what she can do now.”
Mo Ke frowned, nodding slightly.
Huo Tingdong went to the office, gathered so files, and then went straight ho.
In the living room.
Lin Qi was playing Lego with the two Little Babies. When she heard movent from the foyer, she imdiately ran to greet him. Seeing Huo Tingdong had returned, she quickly asked, “Did you et Song Shuyan?”
Huo Tingdong responded with a simple “Hmm.”
Lin Qi asked, “Did she confess?”
Huo Tingdong said, “She’s still fighting her losing battle.”
Lin Qi remarked, “She’s really persistent! The evidence is irrefutable—what else is she trying to deny?”
Murder should warrant death.
She didn’t ask for her to die.
She only wanted her to confess.
To take responsibility for what she had done, wasn’t that the right thing to do?
Greedy people always overreach.
Huo Tingdong said, “Don’t worry. I’ll take care of it.”
Lin Qi nodded earnestly, “Okay!”
She threw herself into his arms, hugging him tightly.
Unconsciously, half a month had passed.
The interrogation still hadn’t made any progress.
Not because the police were inefficient, but because—
Song Shuyan had gone insane.
Song Family mbers stepped forward to file a psychiatric evaluation request with the judiciary.
The Song Family argued that Song Shuyan suffered from severe schizophrenia, and that the illness had been docunted before.
Months ago, Song Shuyan had already been diagnosed with schizophrenia in the Psychiatric Hospital.
Additionally, the Song Family requested a eting with Huo Tingdong.
The Song Family was indignant, unquestionably because Song Shuyan’s brother, Song Shuhao, had died for Huo Tingdong. Now, Song Shuyan was the only remaining direct descendant of the Song Family. She was Song Shuhao’s only younger sister. Since the Song Family had done the Huo Family a great favor, and yet Huo Tingdong had personally sent the benefactor’s sister to prison, it was inevitable they wouldn’t take this lying down!
Huace Headquarters.
The entire conference room was packed with people.
When Huo Tingdong arrived at the office, Mo Ke imdiately approached him with a tense expression: “The Song Family has arrived in full force!”
Huo Tingdong: “Got it!”
He walked to the conference room door and pushed it open. As soon as he entered, a man suddenly charged at him aggressively, grabbing his collar and slamming him against the wall: “Huo Tingdong, Huo Tingdong! The Song Family will be destroyed by you sooner or later! How could you be so heartless, personally sending Yanyan to prison?! What heinous cri has she committed that you had to treat her this way?!”
Seeing him, everyone from the Song Family beca riled up: “Exactly! How could you be so cold-blooded?”
“Yanyan was devoted to you, heart and soul. How could you treat her like this? Could you face her brother?”
“Her brother sacrificed his life for you! And you? Is this how you repay him?!”
