Chapter 788: Chapter 788: Secret Operation
Lin Zhiyi pulled down her coat and looked over, only to see a man with handcuffs suddenly rushing over.
Fortunately, the police caught him from the left and right.
"Stay calm."
"It’s her! She hired a killer!"
The man shouted loudly.
Prompting the originally blocked journalists at the door to take photos and videos.
Lin Zhiyi looked at the unfamiliar man in front of her.
He stared at Lin Zhiyi with a grin, showing complete lack of remorse after harming others.
During the eye contact, Lin Zhiyi felt something was amiss.
At this moment, Gong Chen waved to Captain Xing.
"Captain Xing, please select a few reliable journalists to come in."
Upon hearing this, Lin Zhiyi looked at Gong Chen in surprise.
Gong Chen nodded at her, conveying something with his eyes.
Due to the many reporters at the door, it was unclear how much they had heard.
If Gong Chen said too much, it could easily lead to misunderstandings as manipulating the case.
Therefore, it was most appropriate for Lin Zhiyi to handle it personally.
Once Lin Zhiyi understood, she turned to Captain Xing.
"Sorry to trouble you, Captain Xing, I do have a few words to make clear, otherwise I’m afraid these journalists will spread false information."
Captain Xing looked at the cluster of reporters at the door.
If they write indiscriminately, it wouldn’t be good for the police station either.
Captain Xing glanced at the group of journalists and called a few over from within.
They eagerly rushed over to Lin Zhiyi.
"Miss Lin, why did you hire a killer?"
"Miss Lin, what grudge do you have with the injured lady?"
"Miss Lin..."
Lin Zhiyi did not answer, but instead asked, "Do you have evidence that I hired a killer?"
The reporters were stunned.
One of them pointed at the captured man.
"He has already confessed."
Lin Zhiyi further asked, "He only verbally accuses me, does he have any evidence?"
"Well..."
The journalist couldn’t answer.
Lin Zhiyi smiled, "He just confessed, and you received such clear information. It seems someone notified you. Did they tell you how exactly I hired a killer?"
The reporter looked at the man.
This man was originally a misanthrope, disliking when others questioned him.
He shouted loudly, "You contacted me online, put cash and a photo of Fu Shu in a bag with the cash, and left it at a designated location."
"So, is it that we’ve never met?" Lin Zhiyi asked.
"Yes." The man responded, stiffening his neck.
The people who realized the situation looked at the man with suspicion.
Lin Zhiyi’s gaze turned cold: "Then how could you be so sure it was me just by seeing me from afar?"
The man hesitated.
"I, I saw you online! That’s how I know you."
"There aren’t any pictures of me with half my face covered online," Lin Zhiyi retorted.
"I..." The man couldn’t answer, gritting his teeth and saying, "Anyway, it must be you."
Lin Zhiyi was too lazy to argue with him further.
She turned to look at the journalists.
"You are all smart people. I guess you understand what’s going on. I hope you can report truthfully."
"Okay, we understand. But when will the police be able to investigate thoroughly?" the reporter asked.
"As soon as possible. I will also cooperate with the investigation, and you can monitor it anytime," Lin Zhiyi replied generously.
With this statement, the journalists nodded and left the hall.
The man originally thought to continue ranting in front of the camera.
But everyone had left, and he shouted unwillingly, "Where are you going? Why won’t you listen to me?"
Captain Xing impatiently waved his hand: "Take him away."
The man shouted about his dissatisfaction with society while being dragged away by the other police officers.
Captain Xing said, "Although we’ve temporarily stabilized public opinion, it’s far from enough. Miss Lin, it’s still best to be careful for now."
"Hmm."
"Then let’s go record your statement first."
Captain Xing signaled the colleague to take Lin Zhiyi away.
When Lin Zhiyi left, Gong Chen’s eyes reassured her.
Subsequently, Gong Chen followed Captain Xing into the office.
Captain Xing looked outside before closing the door.
"Third Young Master, as you predicted, Bai Family’s business has started reviving."
"Captain Xing, how is the investigation I asked you to conduct?" Gong Chen asked.
"Along with the information you sent last time, everything has been clarified. When do you plan to make it public?"
Gong Chen thought for a moment.
"Soon. Bai Family has been doing these things for years, they must have backups. To eradicate them completely, we need the right timing."
Captain Xing nodded: "I’ve already informed the higher-ups, and they’ve agreed to our secret operations. But I didn’t expect Miss Lin would encounter trouble again. We must solve it quickly to avoid alerting the enemy."
Gong Chen responded lightly.
Just then, a colleague of Captain Xing came over saying that the statement was recorded.
Lin Zhiyi actually had nothing much to say.
Because she didn’t know that man at all.
Regarding Fu Shu, they hadn’t reached a life-and-death extent.
So the statement was recorded quickly.
She came out of the interrogation room and saw Gong Chen also coming out of Captain Xing’s office.
"What did you discuss?"
"Current situation. Although the evidence favors you, it’s best to wait for Fu Shu to wake before drawing conclusions," Gong Chen explained.
Thinking of Fu Shu, Lin Zhiyi sighed softly.
"I don’t know how she is now."
...
Hospital.
When Fu Shu woke up, she instinctively reached for her stomach.
Sitting at the bedside, Fu Bin immediately stood and approached her.
"Xiao Shu, I’m sorry, I couldn’t control the situation. I really didn’t know someone would do this to you."
"Brother... It’s too late, everything is too late," Fu Shu said weakly.
"Don’t worry, I definitely won’t let Lin Zhiyi off."
Fu Bin clenched his fists, making a creaking sound.
Fu Shu was shocked, her pale face, her eyes were as red as if stained with blood.
"Is it her? It really is her! I thought she truly cared for me..."
Fu Bin saw her trembling all over, immediately raising his hand to press down on her shoulders.
"Xiao Shu, don’t move rashly, everything is under brother’s control."
"Brother, what do I do now?" Fu Shu choked with sobs.
"You just need to recover well, I’ll handle the rest."
Fu Bin stood up, looking seriously at Fu Shu.
Suddenly, the door behind them opened.
They looked at the person who came in and immediately became respectful.
"Old Master."
"Xiao Shu, you’ve suffered. I will make it up to you. Don’t worry, Lin Zhiyi has been taken away."
Old Master Jiang stood by the bedside, comforting Fu Shu.
Fu Shu lowered her eyes: "So what? I’m no longer who I used to be."
Old Master Jiang stared at her: "How could that be? You are still the same you."
Under his gaze, cold sweat broke out on Fu Shu’s back.
"Old Master, what do you mean?"
Old Master Jiang didn’t explain, only showed her a photo on his phone.
Instantly, Fu Shu’s eyes seemed to shatter into pieces, almost dropping out the next second.
"Old, Old Master..."
"I know everything, I don’t blame you, but this matter of Lin Zhiyi can’t be left unresolved, you’ve been hurt too severely."
Old Master Jiang looked down on Fu Shu from above.
Fu Shu clenched the blanket, nodding: "I understand."
