But she saw that Li Yu was looking at her with some suspicion.

Zheng Dongliang, however, spoke very seriously.

"Officer, I truly have no reason to lie. Every word I’ve said is the truth that I believe in my heart."

Zheng Dongliang’s tone was earnest.

At the same time, he firmly believed that there might be someone secretly watching the two of them.

But to Li Yu,

Things might not be so simple.

Instead, she had her doubts.

"Mr. Zheng, you need to provide enough evidence. Only then can we believe you. Otherwise, I can only think that you’re deliberately trying to divert attention."

Li Yu spoke seriously, her beautiful eyes coldly staring at Zheng Dongliang.

But he was so anxious he smacked his thigh.

"Officer, what must I say for you to believe me?"

"I have absolutely no reason to hide the truth or want my father dead."

"After all, I was never short on money, nor did I need his sympathy."

Seeing how agitated he was,

he clenched his fists, practically stamping his feet in anger.

Luo Fei could only try to calm him down.

"Boss Li, I didn’t mean anything else by it."

"It’s just that when our police investigate, we always stress a cause-and-effect relationship. If you say you have no grudge against your father, then produce the most direct evidence for us to see. Only when we see the evidence you provide can we make a further judgment."

Hearing the other’s patient explanation,

Zheng Dongliang calmed down a bit.

He then pulled out two bank cards from his wallet.

Handing them to Luo Fei.

"These are cards my father gave me a few years ago. He said the PIN is my birthday. He also said the money in there was saved for me. For my future child’s tuition, getting married, buying a house, buying a car."

"But I genuinely didn’t want it."

It turned out that Zheng Dongliang had long known about his father’s kindness to him.

And felt some guilt himself.

Yet he didn’t accept his father’s goodwill.

"I know what kind of business he was involved in before. I also know how many wrongs he’s done. So I resist these offerings of his. I refuse to accept them from the bottom of my heart."

Zheng Dongliang said,

though he seemed to hold back as if wanting to say more.

But Li Yu beside him said,

"Zheng Dongliang, if you didn’t want the money, why didn’t you just return it to him?"

"Do you think I haven’t considered that?"

Zheng Dongliang was truly infuriated.

He shot a fierce glare at Li Yu.

"I even told him, if he gave me the money again, I’d call the police. But he said this money is indeed problematic."

"If I did call the police, my wife and I would get involved. We might be doomed forever, so..."

At this moment,

it was apparent Zheng Dongliang hesitated to continue.

Reaching this point, he clearly seemed at a loss.

Luo Fei then seemed to have a revelation.

"Oh, so you thought the money was dirty too? You even considered calling the police?"

It showed on Luo Fei’s face that he was somewhat incredulous.

Equally astonished.

Zheng Dongliang could only nod in agreement.

"Yes, Mr. Luo."

"It’s just that I hesitated at the time. If I reported it, my family would be implicated, which would be a huge problem. Plus, I kept asking him what this money was all about, what went wrong with it. He simply wouldn’t say."

"So I wavered continuously until later, I practically forgot about it."

As Zheng Dongliang said this,

Li Yu still didn’t believe him.

Instead, Luo Fei remained calm and detached.

Thus, he only suggested.

"Let’s not worry about other things first. Let’s see how much is in the card and through what channels it was transferred."

Amidst the conversation,

Zheng Dongliang already dialed the bank’s number.

"Hello, miss, I’d like you to help cancel this card. I’d like to ask how much money is left in it?"

"Dear sir, according to our bank investigation, there’s 100,000 yuan in it. Prior to this, there have been some withdrawal records. Do you need me to help transfer this money to another card?"

"Then I’d appreciate it."

Amidst the conversation,

Zheng Dongliang retrieved the card’s transaction records.

It was only after seeing the withdrawal records

that Luo Fei’s expression became extremely serious.

"Mr. Zheng, why was there initially more than 800,000 in the card, and now there’s only over 100,000 left? Where did the rest of the money go?"

"Heh, I told you, Mr. Luo, that this man’s words sounded nice but he’s not really honest."

Upon hearing the implications,

his expression also turned icy.

Zheng Dongliang, however, looked tremendously wronged, his heart in ruins.

"Officer, I swear to heaven that things aren’t as you think this time."

"It could also be that someone, posing as me, took my identification and withdrew that money, couldn’t it?"

But no matter how much he tried to explain,

Luo Fei remained firm and took him to the police station.

Once inside the interrogation room,

Looking at the pale walls,

Zheng Dongliang’s heart was filled with despair.

"Officer, I truly didn’t do it."

"I know I cannot escape blame for losing the money. But I can roughly guess who did it."

Though he pleaded, speaking from the heart,

he seemed deeply aggrieved.

Luo Fei, however, seriously replied,

"Mr. Zheng, are you sure you’re telling the truth and not deliberately lying?"

"Besides, even if what you say is true, why should we believe you one hundred percent?"
