Chapter 769: Chen Hao’s Silence

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

Chen Hao rushed at the window and attempted to escape. However, someone reacted faster than he did, and the window was blocked by a wall.

Bang! Chen Hao bumped into the wall. Instead of breaking out of the window, he was bounced back by the wall and fell to the ground.

Before he got up, the wall squirmed and wrapped him up, only leaving his head in the air.

“I’m not gonna let you run,” said Duan Juan coldly. Then, she turned to Ding Datong who was behind her and said, “Take him with us.”

“Wait! There is something that you might want to know,” Lu Tong abruptly said to Duan Juan with a cold look on his face.

…

On the other side, Lin Qiao sent Lin Xiaolu to Cheng Wangxue and said, “Alright. Xiaolu is fine. Relax!”

As same as Liu Jun, she gave the girl a check-up to confirm that she was really unharmed. After that, she finally relaxed.

“Who did it?” she said angrily.

“Go to the interrogation room. You’ll know,” said Lin Qiao.

Lin Qiao didn’t plan to go with Cheng Wangxue. Since the kids were safe, she decided to let the others deal with the rest. She had other work to do, and she needed to leave the base in a couple of days.

Lu Tong was brought to the interrogation room along with Chen Hao. Duan Juan left him to Du Yuanxing.

“Didn’t I let you go? Why did you come back?” Du Yuanxing looked at him with surprise.

“He wants to provide us some information. Ask him about it,” Duan Juan left a few words and then left.

Du Yuanxing glanced at Duan Juan’s back, then turned back to Lu Tong and said, “Sit down and tell me.”

The interrogation room wasn’t large; it used to be a laboratory. In the middle of the room was a table, and two meters behind it was a chair, fixed on the ground. Typically, the one who accepted the interrogation would sit on that chair.

Du Yuanxing and a subordinate of his pulled out the chairs on the other side of the table and sat down, then told Lu Tong to sit on the fixed chair.

Lu Tong sat down and said, “Deputy Chief Lin’s wife was kidnapped in the year of the apocalypse. Chen Hao was the abductor! Mrs. Lin didn’t see his face, so he got away. That is Chen Hao’s secret. I accidentally learned about it, which is why he’s been trying to kill me.”

“Is what you said real?” Du Yuanxing looked at him with surprise.

Lu Tong nodded and said, “I think he was going force Mrs. Lin to do something. But, he failed due to some kind of accident.”

Du Yuanxing surely understood his meaning. He was trying to say that Cheng Hao attempted to rape Cheng Wangxue. Cheng Wangxue was a pretty woman, so it was reasonable that the abductor would make that kind of attempt.

“Can you prove it?” Du Yuanxing asked Lu Tong with a serious look.

Lu Tong shook his head and said, “He said that himself. I didn’t record his words, so I can’t prove it. You can try to find evidence though. Perhaps, you can ask Mrs. Lin to confront him. I’ve told you what I know.”

Du Yuanxing spent a few seconds looking at him silently, then picked up the notes that his subordinate had made and gave it a browse. After that, he stood up and walked out.

At the same time, the six kidnappers that Lin Qiao brought back were all in the middle of an interrogation. However, they firmly refused to talk.

Chen Hao had also been staying silent. He hadn’t said even a single word since he got caught.

The six people that he sent out to carry the mission were his most loyal subordinates. They would never give him up. Even if the interrogators told him that his subordinates had told the truth, he wouldn’t believe them.

He believed that no evidence could be found. Without solid evidence, those people wouldn’t be able to do anything to him.

“Has he said anything?” Duan Juan stood outside that interrogation room as she looked at Chen Hao through the window.

Li Hongsheng, who was standing beside her, shook his head and said, “No. Why is Chief so sure that it was him?”

“Chief must know something,” said Duan Juan.

At that time, Cheng Wangxue came over. She looked at Chen Hao coldly and said with a deep voice, “Is it him who planned the whole thing?”

Duan Juan glanced at him and said, “Chief said so, but we haven’t gotten any useful information yet. He has denied it. The ones that Chief brought back refuse to talk either. We can’t prove that it was him.”

“I believe Chief!” Cheng Wangxue made a step forward as she fixed her eyes on Chen Hao. Then, she asked a question, “Why did he kidnap Xiaolu and Tongtong?”

“It’s not just kidnapping. They were going to kill them in order to make another man die,” said Duan Juan.

“What do you mean? Why do they have to kill my daughter to get that man killed?” Cheng Wangxue turned and asked with anger.

“This man, Chen Hao, I think was trying to borrow a knife to kill a space possessor named Lu Tong. He kidnapped Xiaolu and Tongtong and planned to frame Lu Tong with the death of the two kids. As for why he chose Xiaolu, I guess because firstly kidnapping a child is easy, and secondly, it might also have something to do with Lin Feng’s current position.”

“How dare him! How could he even come up with such an evil plan! He was going to kill the two innocent children! Scum!” Thinking that her daughter and Tongtong, who was only four years old, were nearly killed because of Chen Hao’s scheme, Cheng Wangxue clenched her teeth wrathfully. She even wanted to rush into the interrogation room to kill that man immediately.

She believed that Lin Qiao was right. Lin Qiao said that it was him, so it was definitely him!

At that moment, Du Yuanxing and his subordinates came in and said, “Here, this is the information that Lu Tong provided… Eh, Mrs. Lin, you’re here? Good! This is related to you.”

Once in, he handed the files in his hands to someone else and also talked to Cheng Wangxue at the sight of her.

“Related to me?” Cheng Wangxue looked at him confusedly.

Du Yuanxing showed her the notes while asking her, “Do you remember that you were abducted at the year of the apocalypse?”

“Yeah. How do you know?” Cheng Wangxue took over the notes but didn’t read them immediately. She paused briefly when she heard Du Yuanxing’s question, and after that, she looked at the latter with a frown.

Du Yuanxing pointed at the notes and said, “That man named Lu Tong said so. Read it. I think this is why Chen Hao wants him dead. Your whole family lived in this base after all. If Lu Tong leaked this to other people someday, he would be in trouble.”

Cheng Wangxue glanced at him with doubt, then dropped her eyes to read the notes.

While reading the notes, she had her expression changing. From both shock and anger, her face was a little twisted, and her hands shivered constantly.

She closed her eyes and clenched her fists to make herself calm down.

“Even though Lu Tong said that, we have no evidence right now to prove what he said is true,” said Du Yuanxing.

There was no way to prove that Chen Hao was the man who abducted Cheng Wangxue and attempted to rape her five years ago.

“Let me in,” Cheng Wangxue opened her eyes abruptly. Her doll face wore an icy cold look.
