Chapter 2807: This Woman Is Really Fierce

Zhou Andong gave a heh laugh and lightly bumped Ye Zhen with his shoulder: "Fourth Sister Ye, you say you're this old and still single all the time—that's no good. Want me, your little brother, to introduce you to a talented young man?"

Ye Zhen glanced at Zhou Andong: "I don't look down on those so-called talented young men, but if you divorce Jian Qiu, I might consider it."

Zhou Andong shook his head vigorously: "No way, if I divorce again that'd be my third marriage, and I've got kids too. If I divorce and be with you, your old man would knock my head into a Buddha—light punishment. More likely he'd just biu me and kill me, and I'd die with too much injustice."

Seeing Zhou Andong shake his head like a rattle-drum, she puffed out a laugh: "Don't worry about that. If my old man knew you became his son-in-law, he wouldn't object even if you were on your tenth marriage and had seven gourd babies. As for drawing his gun, that's certain—but not to biu you, just to fire celebratory shots."

Zhou Andong picked up the wine bottle and took a sip: "Fourth Sister Ye, this kind of joke can't be made. If my wife finds out, it'll ruin family harmony."

"You refuse so readily, not even bothering to pretend—you're making Sister Ye heartbroken." Ye Zhen suddenly turned her upper body sideways, extended her slender fingers, and lifted Zhou Andong's chin: "Could it be Sister Ye isn't as beautiful as Jian Qiu?"

Zhou Andong blinked, gave a dry laugh, and dodged Ye Zhen's fingers: "How could it be? My wife and Fourth Sister Ye—you each have your own merits."

Ye Zhen puffed out another laugh, once again extended her slender fingers, lifted Zhou Andong's chin, and said teasingly: "Andong, I'm not forcing you to divorce. As long as you have time to come keep me company, that's enough. How about it?"

Zhou Andong jumped to his feet, picked up the briefcase on the table, and said: "Um, Fourth Sister Ye, I've got something to do first—I'm leaving. You drink slowly, no need to settle the bill."

Watching Zhou Andong's hurriedly retreating back, Ye Zhen happily laughed, picked up her wine glass, and downed the drink in one gulp. When she set the glass down, the smile remained on her face, but her eyes held a hint of loss.

"A guy with thief's heart but no thief's guts."

Ye Zhen snorted, didn't leave right away, but called over the waiter and ordered the most expensive cocktail. Anyway, Zhou Andong was paying—if I didn't give him a good lesson, I'd be sorry to myself.

Zhou Andong stepped out of the bar, stood at the entrance, and suddenly shivered. I never expected—this icy cool older sister, the dignified and graceful Fourth Sister Ye, would be this fierce, really leaving him somewhat

unable to cope. From now on, absolutely cannot meet this woman alone—what if one day I lose control and lose my virtue, what then?

Criminal Investigation Squad Interrogation Room!

Wang Hu sat in the interrogation chair, the lamp on the table before him blazing so brightly he could barely keep his eyes open. But even now, he still didn't know why he'd been brought in.

Zhao Hong sat opposite, tapped his fingers on the table, and said in an icy voice: "Wang Hu, do you know where this is?"

Wang Hu slightly lowered his head, dodging the blinding light on the table, but his bearing was firm as he said: "Where's Li Feng? I want to see him."

"Li Feng?" Zhao Hong said coldly: "Li Feng is just assisting us in capturing you—he doesn't even qualify to enter the interrogation room."

Wang Hu's heart sank. From the moment he was arrested, his head had been covered. Only just now, upon entering this interrogation room, was the cloth over his head removed. But, having been escorted onto the vehicle and driven for a long time, he knew this wasn't the Majuqiao Police Station.

And his request to see Li Feng—one, because Li Feng led the team that arrested him; two, because they were acquainted. As long as he saw Li Feng, he'd know why he'd been arrested. Otherwise, blind as he was, if he misspoke, it'd truly be over.

"Wang Hu!" Zhao Hong adjusted the angle of the desk lamp, making Wang Hu lift his head: "This is the Criminal Investigation Squad. Don't delude yourself into thinking the people behind you can get you out.

Moreover, for the crime you committed, you should know in your heart—whoever dares to reach out to pull you out, their hand will be chopped off. So, I hope you honestly confess, strive for merit, and thus you might still have a way to live."

Wang Hu's thoughts raced: arrested by the Criminal Investigation Squad, indeed beyond his expectation. But since it was the Criminal Investigation Squad that got him, there's only one possibility—the assassination of Zhou Andong has been exposed.

Even if exposed, he wouldn't worry much. After all, the mastermind behind it is Yin Xuan, and as long as the Yin family stands, his little life is certainly safe. At worst, he'll just go in and do a few years.

"I'm not quick-witted, and I haven't studied much, so I'm rather slow—I can't understand what you're saying."

Zhao Hong didn't press further, but turned his head to look at the officer taking notes: "Xiao Liu, go next door and see if Ji Zhanyong has confessed yet."

Wang Hu, upon hearing that, immediately realized the Criminal Investigation Squad arrested him because of the Zhou Andong assassination leak. Besides providing colored services at the dance hall, he really hadn't done anything else illegal—even fights were rare.

But now he and Lao Qi were arrested together by the Criminal Investigation Squad. Aside from the Zhou Andong assassination being exposed, there won't be anything else. What he must do now is decide: hold out to the end or confess honestly.

"Okay!" Gu Xiaowu stood up and walked out, heading to the adjacent interrogation room.

The officer interrogating Lao Qi was Lao Qian. He stood beside Lao Qi, patted his shoulder: "Ji Zhanyong, I believe you're a smart man. Hiring a killer to commit murder is a major crime, and moreover, you wanted to kill Zhou Andong."

Lao Qian took out a cigarette, lit it, placed it in Lao Qi's mouth, then continued: "The gravity of this case isn't something you can bear. Only by honestly confessing the mastermind behind it do you have a way to live."

Lao Qi's heart trembled. He probed: "Then… then Zhou Andong…"

Lao Qian said coldly: "If you don't confess the mastermind, then you are the mastermind—you're dead for sure."

Lao Qi's face instantly turned as white as paper, without hesitation he said: "It's Hu Ge—he gave me 100,000 yuan to kill Zhou Andong. Then I gave Yang Aiming 50,000 to find his cousin and get this done."

Lao Qian was stunned—he hadn't expected Ji Zhanyong to confess so readily. Since he started working, he'd interrogated who-knows-how-many criminals. Ji Zhanyong's confession was the most straightforward, truly catching him off guard.

"Good!" Lao Qian immediately told the note-taking officer: "Have him sign it."

The note-taking officer stood up, pen and record in hand, had Ji Zhanyong sign and press his fingerprint.

At that moment, Gu Xiaowu pushed the door open and entered: "Confessed?"

Lao Qian nodded: "Confessed."

"Give me the record." Gu Xiaowu said with a smile: "Wang Hu is still struggling—I'll take the record to let him look at it."
