Bo Chengcheng spoke slowly and clearly.
Hou Yu became a little tense on hearing this. Then, Jiang Yeqing saw beads of sweat had formed on his forehead.
Although only a spa.r.s.e sprinkling, it was unusual in this weather.
After all, Hou Yu had worked for him for so many years, so Jiang Yeqing could quickly sense that something was amiss.
If it weren’t for the fact that he was guilty of something, how would he have reacted in such a manner under this sort of casual questioning?
Hou Yu seemed to be at a loss for words.
Bo Chengcheng asked again, “Are you saying that you were holding a lunatic in one hand and a child in the other?”
“No…” Hou Yu knew that it would have been almost impossible for him to do something like that.
No, a normal person couldn’t handle it.
“Actually, Miss Wen was much calmer by the time she got into the car.”
“Then why did you allow them to keep her in the hospital when she was already much calmer?” Bo Chengcheng looked at him in surprise, and frowned in disbelief as she muttered to herself. “The psychiatric ward is full of crazy people. If Wenxin was much better by then, or if she had been sober, how would she agree to stay in a place full of people with mental illness?”
After yesterday, Bo Chengcheng had gained a better understanding of Wenxin.
How would such a person be willing to stay in such a place?
Hou Yu’s face tensed up slightly and he immediately said with a serious expression, “Could this be Miss Wen’s trick? To be honest, Miss Wen requested this herself…”
“She requested to be hospitalized in the midst of a meltdown?” Bo Chengcheng emphasized this point, and added, “With a child in tow?”
A change finally came over Hou Yu’s expression and he replied, “What kind of tone is that, questioning me in this manner? If you’re suspecting something, why don’t you just say it directly? Why are you being so sarcastic? Do you mean that I’m lying to you? Why should I lie to you?”
Bo Chengcheng could tell that the man had been cornered. She smiled and said, “You know very well whether you’re lying to us or not. I only highlighted the loopholes in your story. However, you can’t even explain the loopholes in your own story. So even if I do suspect you, it’s within reason. It shouldn’t come as a surprise, right?”
“But I’m telling the truth. Why don’t you ask her if you don’t believe me?”
“Why should I need to ask her?” Bo Chengcheng pursed her lips and chuckled. “If there is an intention to lie, then surely you can’t be the only one lying? She would have colluded with you.”
“Are you saying that I’m lying to you? This is too hurtful!” Hou Yu sounded exasperated. “Why would I do this? What would I gain from it?”
“That, I wouldn’t know. But what I do know, is that you have a good relations.h.i.+p with her. When Old Jiang had no time to bother with her, you often came to visit her on his behalf. Furthermore, when she was in Yanzhou, you often took her to her medical appointments. Later on, when they moved to Kang City, you took good care of her and the child…”
“Of course I have to carry out my duties well for the salary I receive. Isn’t that what I should do?”
Bo Chengcheng smiled and looked at Jiang Yeqing.
She had asked Jiang Yeqing these questions before she came.
Jiang Yeqing’s expression was slightly solemn.
He had always been careless, and wasn’t as meticulous as Bo Chengcheng. However, after hearing Bo Chengcheng’s words, he had started to join the dots.
