Chapter 419: Drag Your Feet a Bit More

The woman's expression changed.

It slowly shifted from composure to terror and disbelief.

As Yu Dazhang's words fell, the expressions on her face grew increasingly rich, filled with shock, panic, and astonishment.

Finally, all the spirit on her face vanished without a trace.

Award-winning acting... Yu Dazhang evaluated in his heart.

Back then, he had been deceived by her twice; looking at it now, he deserved it.

"You saw through me after all."

The light in Zhang Chao's mother's eyes gradually dimmed:

"Can't you leave me a little hope?"

Where do you get the face to say that... Yu Dazhang's hand, resting on his leg, unconsciously clenched into a fist.

Right now, what he most wanted to do was punch the woman in the face.

This demon had deprived tens of thousands of intellectually disabled people of their freedom over more than a decade.

Did she leave them any hope?

And what about those who were sent alive to the medical ships on the high seas; who could possibly understand their fear and despair.

She actually has the face to talk about hope; she is truly shameless!

"Stop acting." Yu Dazhang said impatiently:

"People like you never place hope in anyone; you are already accustomed to controlling everything in your own hands."

"Even your own biological son is your chess piece, let alone others."

It seemed she had hit upon what was in her heart; the woman's face stiffened, but she quickly recovered her composure.

"I can let you earn Primary credit."

She stared at Yu Dazhang and said:

"I will tell you where the money is hidden; it is one hundred million in cash. Recovering such a huge sum, you will definitely be promoted because of it."

"And then?" Yu Dazhang looked at her with interest:

"What do you need me to do?"

He lacked nothing in the way of merit, and he became a police officer not to earn merit.

Besides, with the case handled up to now, the Primary credit was definitely his; no one could snatch it away.

"You don't need to do anything."

The woman answered somewhat excitedly:

"As long as you promise me you will do nothing, I will immediately tell you where the money is hidden."

After she finished speaking, even the two female police officers standing nearby wore expressions of contempt, as if mocking the woman's wild fantasy.

"Fine." Yu Dazhang agreed readily:

"Speak."

His answer made those two female police officers instantly widen their eyes.

This fat man with a small net over his head has no bottom line at all.

To make a deal with the suspect so blatantly, and agree so readily; does he think we are dead?

"You, you agreed?"

Zhang Chao's mother was also a bit stunned; obviously, she had not expected Yu Dazhang to agree.

"The request is not excessive." Yu Dazhang nodded seriously:

"If you are quick, I am quick; let us not waste time."

"Then, then fine." It was clear the woman was somewhat hesitant.

But since the conditions were proposed by her, and now Yu Dazhang had agreed, she had no reason to say anything more.

Immediately, she spoke out an address.

Yu Dazhang took out his personal notebook, quickly recorded it, then stood up and went outside the door.

At this moment, Captain Hua and Qi Fang were waiting outside; seeing him come out, they immediately rushed forward.

"How is it?" Captain Hua asked.

"This is the address where the money is hidden." While Yu Dazhang spoke, he tore off the page recording the address.

Afterwards, in front of Captain Hua and Qi Fang, he cleaned away the paper scraps on the notebook bit by bit.

What is he doing?

The two were confused by Yu Dazhang's operation.

It felt like he was cleaning up traces to prevent leaving clues.

This is a habit!!

It indicates this fat man has done similar things before.

A habitual criminal! This damn guy is a habitual criminal!!

Captain Hua and Qi Fang both involuntarily had the same thought.

Big brother, that is your own notebook; is this really necessary?

Yu Dazhang didn't take it to heart; he did it subconsciously. If he didn't clean the paper scraps thoroughly, he always felt uneasy in his heart.

"Send someone to verify it as soon as possible." He handed that page to Captain Hua:

"I will wait for your news."

Seeing that he still intended to go back in, Captain Hua hurriedly asked:

"You've already asked out the money hiding spot; what are you going back in for?"

Yu Dazhang answered with a smile:

"You wouldn't think she sent me here just to tell me where the money is hidden, right? She and I aren't that close."

Before coming, they had already discussed it: let Yu Dazhang go in alone to see Zhang Chao's mother.

This would minimize the other party's wariness as much as possible.

Besides, there were two female police officers in the room, so it wasn't against the rules.

Captain Hua had expected it to take a long time, but Yu Dazhang had only just gone in and came right back out.

Looks like this fatty had a new discovery.

"She still has things she hasn't confessed?"

After asking, Captain Hua felt it was a bit awkward, so he changed his angle and asked:

"Are you trying to say she wants to use you to achieve some kind of purpose?"

Chatting with smart people is such a pleasure... Yu Dazhang nodded:

"That's exactly what I think. We'll have the answer soon."

Saying so, he pushed open the ward door again and walked in.

Returning to sit by the hospital bed, Yu Dazhang waved the notebook in his hand in front of Zhang Chao's mother:

"The address you gave me needs to be verified. I think you should understand that."

"Since I've said it, I won't lie to you." The woman's expression was calm, her tone even:

"You must also remember what you promised me. This case ends here."

Dream on... Yu Dazhang's face darkened:

"My promise to you was premised on you telling me the address where the money is hidden, and you only gave me one. Isn't that a bit lacking in sincerity?"

He was certain Zhang Chao's mother still had a trick up her sleeve.

This criminal chain had been running for eleven years, and the known amount had already reached one billion.

Yet such a huge sum had only been split into three portions.

Two hundred sixty million used to mislead the police, six hundred million transferred abroad, and another hundred million converted to cash.

On the surface it seemed fine, but thinking it over carefully, something felt off.

Even an ordinary person controlling so much money would diversify its management, let alone someone like Zhang Chao's mother who was accustomed to laying out schemes.

So she was still running a smokescreen.

Yu Dazhang had already seen through it: her purpose in calling him here was to make the police believe all the money had been recovered.

"There isn't any more, really there isn't." The woman suddenly grew agitated:

"You don't keep your word! You promised me!"

Keep acting... Yu Dazhang suddenly lowered his voice and said:

"I don't believe you didn't leave a single cent for the child."

That was the real crux of the matter.

Previously, it was precisely because he had overlooked the emotional angle that Zhang Chao's mother had tricked him. This time, of course, he wouldn't make the same mistake again.

Just from the fact that the woman had brought the child along when she fled, one could tell she still cared deeply about this grandson.

Perhaps their goals were all the same.

To give the child a bright future.

"You—!"

The woman panicked, no longer able to maintain that composed, self-possessed demeanor.

She looked at Yu Dazhang in disbelief:

"Do you really have to wipe us all out?!"

Yu Dazhang watched her with great interest, then suddenly smiled:

"Just now your expression changed a bit too quickly. Your acting is still commendable, but you overdid it a little. Still, the foundation of a seasoned performer is there."
