No.
Chen Jin Chao was not that kind of person.
Based on Yu Meng Zhi's understanding of Chen Jin Chao, if he were to do such a thing, it would only be directed at Ning Fei, not to harm innocent people indiscriminately.
She was willing to believe Chen Jin Chao.
Yu Meng Zhi walked up to Chen Jin Chao, who smiled calmly and said, "Perhaps it's just a misunderstanding, nothing serious. I'll be out once the truth of the case comes to light."
"It won't be long."
Yu Meng Zhi took a breath and said to the police, "I hope you investigate thoroughly, don't let the bad guys get away, and don't wrongly accuse the good people."
The captain of the criminal investigation team nodded, "Anyone who had contact with him must come back with us to give a statement."
Yu Meng Zhi did not refuse.
Xu Nian Qing also walked out from behind, ignoring Ning Fei's furious gaze, and said to the captain of the criminal investigation team, "At the time of the incident, I was with Chen Jin Chao. I can testify that he is not the murderer."
"Chen Jin Chao even kicked Ning Fei at the time."
"If you don't believe me, you can compare the shoe prints left on Ning Fei's clothes."
"Enough!" Ning Fei roared.
"Are you trying to humiliate me even further, you b**ch?"
"We'll settle this account later."
Xu Nian Qing ignored him. The captain of the criminal investigation team gave them a meaningful look, "Alright, we will investigate the clues you provided. You will all come to the police station with me now."
This bloody incident was extremely serious and had a very bad impact.
After the incident.
The higher-ups immediately put pressure on the Ning Hai bureau to quickly ascertain the truth, issuing a three-day ultimatum.
On the way back to the police station, Chen Jin Chao learned many details.
Shortly after the wedding began.
The surveillance equipment in the entire hotel was hacked, causing a brief paralysis.
The equipment in the banquet hall was violently destroyed, leaving no trace.
Chen Jin Chao pondered, who could have done this?
The target was clearly him, otherwise, why would they go to such lengths to collect his fingerprints? Currently, Chen Jin Chao had three main enemies.
One was the notorious Black Blood organization, the second was the Yu family, and the third was the Ning family.
With the capabilities of these three forces, obtaining firearms was not difficult, but Chen Jin Chao first ruled out the Ning family.
No matter how much Ning Fei hated him, he wouldn't choose to act on his wedding day. Moreover, Ning Fei shouldn't have known beforehand that he would appear at the banquet.
Therefore.
Only two forces remained.
The Black Blood organization had a slightly higher probability.
Chen Jin Chao had dealt with this organization before, and they were absolutely ruthless individuals who would stop at nothing to achieve their goals.
As for the Yu family...
He was a bit unsure.
At that moment.
Ning Fei's father, Ning Pin Guo, the head of the Ning family, was furious.
Today was supposed to be a joyous occasion for the Ning family. He had even specially asked someone to check Xu Nian Qing's birthdate and time, believing it would be a perfect match for his son's marriage.
Who would have thought that there would be a bloody disaster?
Ning Pin Guo picked up the phone and called his old friend Yang Yi Qian, who was in charge of such matters, and said indignantly, "Old Yang, you must help me get justice for this. Slay that guy named Chen!"
"Old Ning, don't be angry," Yang Yi Qian replied.
"Are you so sure that Chen Jin Chao did it?"
Ning Pin Guo's voice trembled with anger, "If not him, then who? He definitely has the motive, and his fingerprints were found."
Yang Yi Qian rubbed his temples and said helplessly, "Alright, I understand."
"Old Yang..."
"What is it?"
"If, I mean, if it really wasn't that guy named Chen who did it. Help me deal with him too. He made my Ning family lose face. He should be locked up for at least ten years."
...
Interrogation room.
Facing intense interrogation, Chen Jin Chao remained calm.
Since Chen Jin Chao's communication devices were confiscated, he could not contact Xu Han Chen.
His composure could not solve the problem; instead, it caused him more trouble. Many people believed that Chen Jin Chao had a strong mental fortitude, which only increased the suspicion against him.
The interrogation lasted for six hours with no progress.
The interrogation room was brightly lit, while outside, the sun was setting, casting long shadows.
Yu Meng Zhi walked out of the police station. She didn't get to wait for Chen Jin Chao, but instead saw Xu Nian Qing. She felt the atmosphere was a bit awkward and wanted to avoid eye contact, but unexpectedly, Xu Nian Qing walked directly towards her.
"Miss Yu, hello," Xu Nian Qing said.
Yu Meng Zhi was not prepared, "Ah, hello, hello. May I know how to address you?"
Xu Nian Qing knew Yu Meng Zhi was making small talk, asking the obvious, but she still replied, "Xu Nian Qing, a professor at Ning Hai University. It's a pleasure to meet you."
Yu Meng Zhi also quickly introduced herself.
The interaction between the two was very awkward. After a moment of hesitation, Yu Meng Zhi said, "Miss Xu, actually, Chen Jin Chao and I..."
Xu Nian Qing interrupted Yu Meng Zhi with a smile, "Madam Yu, you've misunderstood."
Yu Meng Zhi's words came to an abrupt halt, and she looked at Xu Nian Qing in confusion.
"It's true that Chen Jin Chao and I were in a relationship. However, he is in the past for me. I hope you won't blame him for what happened today."
"I won't interfere in your relationship."
"I wish you happiness."
With that, Xu Nian Qing turned and left.
Yu Meng Zhi watched Xu Nian Qing's back as she gradually disappeared from sight, a strange feeling in her heart.
At the street corner.
Xu Nian Qing got into her father Xu Ming Zhi's car. The atmosphere inside the car was somber.
"Dad, I'm sorry," she said proactively.
"I really don't want to marry Ning Fei. Please let me be selfish this once."
Xu Ming Zhi had many words of reprimand for his daughter, but when he saw Xu Nian Qing, all his carefully prepared words were cast aside.
He sighed, "It's okay, Dad won't force you anymore."
When he saw his daughter crying at the wedding, he deeply realized how much of a failure he had been as a father.
From that moment on.
Xu Ming Zhi made a firm decision never to let his daughter suffer again.
His own life was already a mess; if he were to drag his daughter down with him, wouldn't he be worse than a beast?
Xu Nian Qing's eyes welled up, "Then, what about your debts?"
Xu Ming Zhi forced a calm smile, "If I'm truly cornered, I'll jump off the roof of the company building. It'll all be over. Alright, I'll handle my own affairs, you don't need to worry about me."
Xu Nian Qing wanted to say something but stopped, ultimately not speaking.
Night fell.
Due to the bloody incident, the night in Ning Hai City felt particularly somber, and an oppressive atmosphere filled the air, making it difficult to breathe.
In the interrogation room, Chen Jin Chao was growing impatient.
He vaguely heard them discussing that with all the witnesses and evidence collected, they intended to close the case.
This meant—
Chen Jin Chao had been identified as the suspect and was about to be handed over to the prosecution for indictment.
If there were no further developments, the case would be concluded.
Chen Jin Chao would face the death penalty.
