Chapter 983: Tomorrow is the Deadline
“No, it’s useless for him to like me. It’s not like I like him. How many socialites liked you in the past? Even if you’re angry with me, I can’t control who he likes…”
Sheng Xiao took the opportunity to pinch her face. “Don’t smile at other men in the future.”
“Men are so jealous. How scary.” Mu Qiqi ignored him. She waited until her daughter fell asleep before asking, “How’s Grandfather’s mood these past two days? How’s Second Aunt? The Shen family is all over the news. I don’t know if Grandfather will be able to get over it.”
“Changing the topic?”
Mu Qiqi could not be bothered with this man. She placed her daughter in his arms. “I’m tired. It’s your turn to accompany her.”
Sheng Xiao returned his daughter to Mu Qiqi. While Mu Qiqi was still confused, he pulled her into his lap and sat her down. “You coax her. I’ll coax you.”
“And how are you going to coax me?”
Sheng Xiao turned her face away and kissed her on her thin lips. “Like this.”
Little Qi watched her parents being affectionate with her sparkling eyes..
..
On a cold winter night, it was best to warm up a little wine at home and have someone to drink with together.
The Song family’s father and son were just like that.
This small cup of wine reminded Song Jiang of his childhood, when he drank with his father and Big Brother.
“When I see that the Shen family has been destroyed, I’ll go to their graves and have a few drinks with them.”
Song Bozhi looked at his father with the wine cup in his hand and remained sober. “Do you think the Shen family can be destroyed?”
“At the very least, they have to live like rats crossing the street in the future.”
Song Bozhi still smiled and clinked gla.s.ses with Song Jiang. “That is indeed worthy of celebration.”
Just as the father and son were enjoying their drinks, the second son of the Shen family was taken away for questioning again. This time, in front of Old Master Shen. There was a new development in the case. The secretary was found to have a problem.
Although the secretary had repeatedly a.s.sured the higher-ups that this was his personal problem and had nothing to do with the second son of the Shen family, the second son still had to face a detailed investigation.
At this time, the slightest mistake could not be made. Otherwise, old matters would all be dug up by people and then investigated.
“Dad, think of something.” Huang Yu was anxious because she did not know if her husband would be tortured to extract a confession.
Old Master Shen held Huang Yu down and seemed to have aged a lot overnight. “Don’t worry, he will come back tomorrow morning.”
“If that sc.u.m Song Jiang is standing in front of me, I’ll definitely chop him up.”
Shen Lin had heard that something had happened to his father, so he took leave from the army and returned.
Perhaps Huang Yu would be much happier when she saw her son.
..
Song Jiang had indeed prepared a second bullet for the Shen family, which was that woman. She would lie about being Mayor Shen’s mistress and drag the entire Shen family down.
She had no choice. Her son was in Song Jiang’s hands!
Song Jiang only gave her a few days to settle her daughter, and tomorrow was the deadline.
If she slandered the Shen family, then one of the three would survive. If she didn’t do it, then the three of them would all die. This was exactly what Tang Yan had predicted.
Although the police had found the approximate location of the mother and daughter, they did not know the specific environment of the neighborhood.
However, before the police could take action the next day, that woman sent her daughter out of the neighborhood in the middle of the night. The people sent by Sheng Xiao happened to see this scene and immediately notified Lin Mu’an.
Tang Yan ordered the immediate arrest because that woman was a criminal herself.
This was Lin Mu’an’s first time taking action. He was originally lying on the chair in the teahouse, ready to make do for the night. Who would have thought that this woman would be so restless that she would run out in the middle of the night after getting rid of the people who were watching her in the residential area?
Four men were trying to arrest a mother and daughter. Naturally, she had nowhere to run.
“What are you doing? I’m going to call for help!”
Lin Mu’an looked at them in the corner and quickly took out his ID badge. “Police.”
After that, the mother and daughter were brought back to the police station by Lin Mu’an.
Tang Yan thought that it would take some effort, but who knew that Lin Mu’an would be so lucky.
Hence, Tang Yan planned to interrogate the woman that night.
Lin Mu’an wanted to learn from him, so he volunteered to stay and help Tang Yan.
In the interrogation room, the woman sat at the table, handcuffs on, her eyes blank. When Tang Yan came in, she stood up and almost pounced on him. “What did you do to my daughter?”
“We are the police. What do you think we will do to your daughter?” Tang Yan asked back.
The woman was stunned. After a moment of silence, she nodded. “I know that you will protect my daughter, but no one will protect my son. Let me go. Tomorrow is the deadline.”
“What deadline?” Tang Yan immediately grasped the main point and began to attack. “Madam Mei, you have to think carefully. The police are the only ones you can ask for help.”
The woman shook her head. It looked like she was planning to keep her mouth shut.
“I know what the deadline you mentioned is. Combined with the fact that your son isn’t by your side, someone is using your son to threaten you, right? I know that you definitely won’t tell the police, but don’t forget that you’re a wanted criminal. If you’re caught by the police, it’s impossible for you to leave and see your son again unless you cooperate with us.”
The woman clenched her fists tightly because she didn’t know what else she could do.
“It’s okay if you don’t say anything. I’ll hand you over anyway. When that happens, everything will go according to the normal procedure. No one will listen to your story. Think about it.”
After saying that, Tang Yan got up from his chair.
“Before I leave, I want to remind you where your son is now. Perhaps, it’s not safe.”
Her son was like a string in the woman’s heart. Tang Yan pulled on it tightly, testing the woman’s rationality at any time.
“Save my son, save my son…”
“First, you have to tell us where your son is.”
“He’s in Song Jiang’s hands.” The woman had no choice but to tell the truth. “He took my son away and threatened me. To slander Mayor Shen. He did everything. It has nothing to do with me.”
“Is everything you said true?”
“I swear.” The woman raised her hand and said, “So, please, save my son. I deserve it, but my son… is innocent”
In the second half of the interrogation, Tang Yan interrogated the woman carefully and dug out all the secrets in her stomach.
Then, Tang Yan handed the case to the chief.
“Mayor Shen can be cleared. But it’s not our jurisdiction to arrest Song Jiang. As it involves a big case, this matter has to be handed over to the Ninth Division. Moreover, Bai Xinyi and the other cases aren’t solved yet.”
“As long as we can interrogate Song Jiang, there’s a possibility of getting him to open his mouth. I believe in the people of the Ninth Division.” After all, they even managed to break a tough cookie like Shen Mei
“Thank you for your hard work. I’ll contact Chief Long right away.”
After a long while, Tang Yan came out of the chief’s office. Young Master Lin quickly went forward and asked, “Deputy Chief, how was it?”
“You played a big part in capturing the key person. The Shen family has to thank you this time. It’s just a follow-up. We need to hand it over. It’s not under our jurisdiction.”
To be able to help and be useful to others was the greatest affirmation for Lin Mu’an.
“Go home and rest. You’ve worked hard,” Tang Yan patted Lin Muan’s shoulder and said.
He then called Sheng Xiao, and was planning to go back to take care of his child.
Lin Mu’an was pleased with Tang Yan’s affirmation and smiled like a child.
..
Soon, Sheng Xiao received a message from Tang Yan. “I got it. Thanks for this.”
“You really shouldn’t thank me for this. You should thank yourself for investing in Lin Mu’an and helping yourself through karma,” Tang Yan said with a smile over the phone. “Wait for the news to come out tomorrow. Song Jiang will be taken in. He had been planning for so many years, but he got broken by a child.”
To Tang Yan, Lin Mu’an was just a child.
“I’m home now. I have to put the child to bed…”
“Same here.”
Tang Yan almost forgot that this person was also a father.
Hence, the two of them laughed at the same time and hung up the phone. As long as Song Jiang was caught, it was like winter had become warmer.
..
At the same time, Mu Qiqi was still feeding Little Qi. When she saw Master Xiao put down his phone with a relaxed expression, Mu Qiqi guessed that something good had happened. “Is there news about the mother and daughter?”
“By accident, they were caught by Lin Mu’an. Now that the witness has been transferred to the Ninth Division, the Shen family will be proven innocent very soon.”
“Lin Mu’an?” Mu Qiqi found it unbelievable after hearing that. There really was a plan in place. “Looks like I have to treat him to a good meal some day. No, I should make him a banner. Whenever I think about Song Jiang being caught, I get excited.”
Sheng Xiao looked at her helplessly and took Little Qi. “Idiot.”
That night was really exciting.
In the second half of the night, Song Jiang staggered and clinked gla.s.ses with Song Bozhi. He was already drunk, but Song Bozhi was still sober.
Then, Song Bozhi received a phone call. The person on the other end of the line informed him that the mother and daughter had been released according to plan.
Why were the mother and daughter able to run out in the middle of the night? It was because Song Bozhi had done something to the bodyguards. Otherwise, Song Jiang wouldn’t have made such a mistake. This was one of his ways to take revenge on Song Jiang.
He just wanted to see Song Jiang’s expression the next day.
..
The next morning, the sky had just become bright.
Song Jiang suddenly felt that someone had kicked his thigh.
When he woke up from the table, he opened his eyes and saw Song Bozhi in his wheelchair.
“You’re Awake? Just in time. Someone’s here for you.”
Song Jiang propped himself up and saw several policemen standing behind Song Bozhi, including the boss of the Ninth Division.
