Chapter 235: Wang Xingjun is filled with regret!

"Huang Ping, I have been keeping an eye on you for a long time."

As soon as Tang Ye said this, Huang Ping was truly taken aback.

"I don't know you!"

The corners of Tang Ye's mouth lifted slightly, revealing a faint smile, and he said, "You should know Cao Lili, right?"

Upon hearing the three words "Cao Lili," Huang Ping's face turned deathly pale in an instant, and he immediately pressed his lips together, choosing to remain silent.

"There are two paths before you.

First, confess and identify the mastermind to strive for leniency;

Second, continue to act as an accomplice and bear the corresponding consequences, spending the rest of your life in prison."

"Don't think you can scare me with those words!"

Flames of anger burned in Huang Ping's eyes.

However, looking closely, a trace of imperceptible panic was hidden beneath the anger.

Tang Ye changed the subject: "Huang Ping, I know you consider yourself loyal, but will Wang Liang be loyal to you? Three years ago, you were sent to a juvenile detention center for half a year; were you really willing to take the fall for him?"

Hearing this, Huang Ping's gaze began to flicker, and it was clear his resolve had been shaken.

"Huang Ping, I know you have visited Cao Lili often over these past few years. You were also the first to arrive at the scene when she jumped from the building," Tang Ye said with emotion. "Everyone has a 'white moonlight'; she holds a very important place in your heart."

Huang Ping's expression changed; he lowered his head, his eyes flickering with complex emotions.

Tang Ye took a letter from his pocket and placed it gently in front of Huang Ping.

"This is from Cao Lili to you. Cao Lili and you were junior high classmates; you could be considered childhood sweethearts. Is this how you treat a childhood sweetheart?"

Huang Ping picked up the letter, his hands trembling slightly.

This letter had been written by Tang Ye just moments ago, imitating Cao Lili's handwriting.

With Huang Ping's intelligence, he clearly could not distinguish the truth from the fake.

"I dare not sleep!

Every time I close my eyes, that night appears in my mind.

Wang Liang!

On the surface, he is a well-behaved, good student, but he did such cruel things to me.

I am terrified and afraid!

I dare not go out and see people.

I really want to just die and be done with it.

But, my parents would not be able to accept that outcome.

Huang Ping!

Why didn't you stand up when I was being harmed?

Since we were small, you always protected me, but that time you let me down.

When I was being ravaged by those demons, I saw your reluctance and heartache.

But I am very disappointed in you.

You did not stand up and protect me like you did before.

However, I do not hate you..."

After reading it, Huang Ping suddenly covered his face and broke down in tears.

"That's right, it was Wang Liang who did it! He ruined Cao Lili. Wuwu, I wanted to protect her, but I am a useless coward!"

Tang Ye secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Ever since Jiang Rou encountered the bullying incident at school, Tang Ye had been secretly having Wan Ming investigate the matter.

Now, Wang Xingjian and Du Chengfeng were competing for a City Leader position.

At this critical moment!

If this scandal could be detonated, it would deal a fatal blow to Wang Xingjian!

Upon hearing that one of his hired thugs had been caught by the local Police Station, Wang Xingjun went to find the director of the County Public Security Bureau.

He had assumed the matter could be easily smoothed over.

But he never expected to hit such a hard nail.

"That restaurant owner is called Wu Quezi, and his daughter was once a high school classmate of your nephew. Is there some conflict between your son and that girl?"

Wang Xingjun suddenly realized.

There was a girl in his son's class with excellent grades, and his son often couldn't outperform her.

At the time, he had complained about it a few times in front of his son.

His son, having a strong desire for revenge, had instructed his underlings to harass her family.

Because of the harassment, the girl's grades plummeted.

Wang Liang had mentioned it proudly, and he hadn't taken it seriously at the time.

Now that Wang Liang had left his original school, why was he still pestering that girl?

"President Wang, this matter is very tricky. It is said that the leaders of the City Bureau issued an order personally, demanding the case be handled strictly. I have just looked into it in detail; that person named Huang Ping does indeed have a history of picking quarrels and provoking trouble," the director explained to Wang Xingjun with a troubled expression.

Wang Xingjun was full of displeasure: "This kid, he really knows how to cause trouble! But, picking quarrels and provoking trouble is at most a public security penalty, right? Just let him stay inside and behave for a few days!"

The director then dropped another bombshell: "That previous case is now being dug up and is to be reinvestigated."

"Didn't the victim's family already agree to a settlement for that case?" Wang Xingjun asked in confusion.

"President Wang, the situation has changed. At the time, they only agreed to the settlement under pressure from all sides. But now, it seems there is someone backing them, wanting to thoroughly investigate the matter again."

Wang Xingjun hung up the phone, the more he thought about it, the angrier he became.

He strode toward Wang Liang's room.

At this moment, Wang Liang was sitting under a desk lamp, seemingly focused on doing his homework.

"Dad, what's wrong?" Wang Liang looked up, appearing innocent, though a trace of imperceptible panic flashed in his eyes.

"I'm asking you, was it you who instigated Huang Ping to harass Wu Juan?"

"Dad, Wu Juan and I are classmates, how could I have any involvement with Huang Ping? You must have misunderstood."

Wang Xingjun let out a cold snort, "Don't play dumb in front of me. Huang Ping has been caught, and he confessed that you instigated him."

He had only asked Huang Ping to go to Wu Juan's father's restaurant to cause trouble every now and then, how could he have been caught?

Wang Liang remained stubborn, saying with a face full of grievance: "Huang Ping is talking nonsense. Dad, I still have a lot of homework to finish."

Just then, Wang Liang's mother walked into the room, and seeing Wang Xingjun's face full of anger, she hurriedly held him back.

"Don't disturb our son's studies. If there's something to discuss, talk about it properly."

Wang Xingjun looked at his wife helplessly, shook his head with a bitter smile, and said, "Just keep spoiling him like this; sooner or later, he'll cause a huge disaster."

Wang Xingjun turned and returned to the study.

His cell phone rang urgently.

It was a call from the Director of the Suiyuan County Public Security Bureau.

"General Manager Wang, because Huang Ping violated the Public Security Administration Punishments Law, he is to be detained for half a month. The situation is unfavorable for your son; he has identified Wang Liang as the mastermind behind a rape case, which caused that girl to become pregnant and miscarry, and the girl later jumped from a building due to the trauma, resulting in paralysis. Now, it has been confirmed that this case is to be reopened for investigation."

"You must suppress this case."

"The City Bureau has initiated an investigation in a different jurisdiction, and it is already out of control! I am taking a risk just by passing this information to you."

The doorbell rang urgently.

His wife opened the door, and just as Wang Xingjun walked out of the study, he saw a group of Police standing at the entrance.

He had not expected the Police to react so quickly.

"Where is Wang Liang?"

Wan Ming asked with a serious expression.

His wife's face instantly showed nervousness, and she questioned, "What do you want to do?"

"We suspect Wang Liang is involved in a rape and assault case; this is the arrest warrant."

Before his wife could react, Wan Ming made a gesture, and his subordinates quickly rushed into the study and dragged Wang Liang out.

Wang Liang screamed in terror, "Mom, save me, I'm innocent!"

His wife rushed over regardless of everything, only to be ruthlessly pushed away by a Police officer.

Subsequently, Wang Liang was escorted into a police car.

Wang Xingjun stood there in a daze.

His wife choked with sobs and said, "Xingjun, hurry and call your brother, find a way to save Liangliang, he is still just a child!"

Wang Xingjun was filled with regret!

His brother had advised him many times to educate his son properly.

Now, it was too late...
