Chapter 236: A Bit Too Green to Play Mind Games!

Although he was very disappointed in his son, Wang Xingjun still dialed his brother's number.

"Brother, something terrible has happened. Liangliang was just arrested."

"I have already received the news." Wang Xingjian held the phone, his tone cold.

"Brother, you have to think of a way!" Wang Xingjun said anxiously.

"What way could I possibly have? This case is being handled in a different jurisdiction." Wang Xingjian caught the scent of a Hidden Plot. "Tell me the truth: in that case from back then, was Liangliang involved or not?"

Wang Xingjun shook his head. "He is a good child with excellent character and academics; it must be that hooligan Huang Ping who deliberately framed him. And that Cao Lili is no good either. She grew up without a father, and her mother runs a foot massage parlor—how good could her moral character be?"

Wang Xingjian was silent for a few seconds before speaking slowly: "The City Bureau handed this case over to the Tianling County Public Security Bureau to be handled in a different jurisdiction. Do you know what that means?"

Wang Xingjun panicked instantly: "Then... then will Liangliang be coerced into a false confession? He is still just a child!"

Wang Xingjian sighed inwardly at his brother's shortsightedness. "Now is not the time to only consider Liangliang. This matter also involves you. Back when that case happened, I put in a word with the public security, procuratorate, and judiciary. Did you do anything privately?"

Wang Xingjun replied with a bitter smile: "I listened to you. Before the investigation into the case began, I visited the homes of those key figures. According to the rules, I had to show some appreciation..."

Wang Xingjian's voice dropped, and he instructed sternly: "If nothing goes wrong, they will be investigating you soon. Remember, bite down and don't let go; absolutely do not let this matter blow up. Also, do you have anything like account books at home? Find them and destroy them immediately; do not leave any evidence behind."

Wang Xingjun felt his palms were covered in cold sweat, and his voice trembled slightly: "I will go do it right away. But, Liangliang..."

Wang Xingjian's temper flared up instantly: "We can't worry about Liangliang right now! The other side is clearly aiming at me! The Municipal Party Committee is currently discussing the list of candidates for Secretary-General, and the results will be announced in two weeks. At this critical juncture, Liangliang gets arrested—do you still not understand what this means? At a critical moment, we must minimize the losses. Liangliang is already an adult; if he really broke the law, he must bear the corresponding consequences."

At this moment, Wang Liang's mother snatched the phone and cried out: "Brother-in-law, you must save Liangliang! He is the only male descendant of the Wang family in this generation!"

Wang Xingjian only had one daughter, and Wang Liang was indeed the only boy in this generation of the Wang family.

Wang Xingjian also valued his nephew quite highly.

"It's not that I don't want to save him, it's that I am truly powerless."

"Brother-in-law, Liangliang has been pampered since he was small and has never suffered a bit; he will definitely suffer inside! He is already in his second year of high school, and his studies are intense. If he is delayed like this, what will happen to his college entrance exam? The teachers all said he would have no problem getting into a key university!"

This woman was truly shortsighted!

His sister-in-law still hadn't realized the severity of the situation and was even still thinking about her son's studies.

"Give the phone to Xingjun." Wang Xingjian's tone was flat, with no discernible emotion.

"Brother, you can't just give up on Liangliang like this!" Wang Xingjun took the phone, his voice tinged with unwillingness.

Wang Xingjian let out a long sigh and said: "You should properly persuade your wife and let her calm down."

Wang Xingjun looked at his wife, dejected, and shook his head with a helpless, bitter smile: "This time, I'm afraid there really is no way..."

His wife's eyes turned red, and she gritted her teeth: "If you don't force your brother to save Liangliang, I will expose all those dirty dealings!"

Wang Xingjun's eyes widened, his face full of disbelief: "Are you crazy! Liangliang is so unruly now because you spoiled him! A doting mother ruins her son! If you dare to act against my brother, don't blame me for being unkind."

His wife sobbed uncontrollably: "If something happens to Liangliang, I don't want to live either. At worst, we can all go down together!"

Wang Xingjun snorted in anger and shouted: "The matter hasn't reached the final step yet, don't you go losing your nerve first!"

Tang Ye stepped into the Interrogation Room of the Tianling County Public Security Bureau.

He saw Wang Liang again.

Looking at the big boy before him, who still had a childish air and radiated the greenness of youth.

It was hard to imagine that a demonic soul was hidden within him.

"Wang Liang, we meet again."

Wang Liang recognized Tang Ye.

Because of Jiang Rou, he had been forcibly transferred away from Hanzhou Middle School. Possessing a strong desire for revenge, he had secretly spent a lot of effort investigating Jiang Rou's identity, only to later learn that Jiang Rou was actually the daughter of Executive Vice Mayor Jiang Jing.

From then on, the thought of revenge in Wang Liang's heart never extinguished; he thought that once the heat died down, he would find another opportunity to carry out his revenge plan.

But he never expected that before he could even take action, the other side would strike first.

"I don't know you." Wang Liang put on an extremely innocent look. "What right do you have to arrest me? Cao Lili and I were just ordinary classmates. As for that case back then, I wasn't involved at all. Huang Ping was the culprit, and he has already been punished and spent several years in a juvenile detention center."

Tang Ye had long expected that although Wang Liang was young, his psychological resilience was excellent!

"Huang Ping changed his mind; he wants to testify against you. In his confession, he described the details of the case back then in extreme detail; you are the true culprit."

Wang Liang sneered with disdain: "Do you have evidence? If you don't have evidence, then he is maliciously slandering me! You can't just listen to his one-sided story and frame me!"

Tang Ye subconsciously exchanged a glance with Wan Ming beside him.

Both of them were secretly amazed; how could this kid be like a child? His logic was clear, and he was mature and calm when facing interrogation.

Wan Ming slammed the table hard. "Don't you try that with us! If we didn't have solid evidence, would we just arrest people? I advise you to be sensible and confess everything quickly; perhaps you can still strive for a lighter punishment!"

Wang Liang looked extremely aggrieved. "How could I confess to something I didn't do? You are being so fierce and menacing, are you trying to coerce a confession out of me?"

Wan Ming was so incensed by these few words from Wang Liang that his blood pressure surged, and he stood up with a "whoosh."

Tang Ye, quick-witted and fast-handed, immediately pressed Wan Ming down.

Tang Ye knew that Wan Ming wouldn't lose his composure just because of a child.

He just wanted to find an excuse to teach Wang Liang a lesson.

Wang Liang was indeed scared, his expression losing control.

Tang Ye smiled faintly.

"I know you are still harboring a fluke mentality, after all, the evidence from back then was all destroyed. But have you ever thought that there could still be variables? If the person who helped you forge the evidence is found to have problems and confesses to the act of forging evidence..."

Hearing this, Wang Liang's face turned deathly pale in an instant.

There was no longer the feigned ignorance and calmness in his eyes.

Replaced by panic and fear.

Wan Ming thought to himself.

You kid, trying to play mind games with the seasoned Tang Ye—you're still a bit too green!
