Chapter 458

Tang Ye sat in the Interrogation Room of the County Public Security Bureau, his gaze fixed like a torch on Wu Ji opposite him.

This entire arrest operation was conducted in secret.

To avoid alerting the enemy, the news had been strictly sealed, and no one outside yet knew that Wu Ji had been caught.

However, Wu Ji was exceptionally cunning, always dodging the important points when facing interrogation.

Wan Ming had led the interrogation for a long time without any progress, and in desperation, he had invited Tang Ye to assist.

It was a proven fact that Wu Ji was involved in criminal activities; the key now was to dig deeper into more cases, especially the truth behind the death of Li Yongbo, Deputy Director of the County Garden Bureau.

From the way Wu Ji's eyes darted around, Tang Ye could tell he clearly knew the inside story.

But human life was at stake, and Wu Ji knew in his heart that once he was implicated, the charges would be even more severe, which was why he kept his teeth clenched and refused to speak easily.

While he was thinking, Tang Ye's phone rang; it was a call from Cheng Lin.

"Sister, don't worry, tell me slowly," Tang Ye said in a steady tone.

When Cheng Lin finished relaying what Principal Wei of the school for the deaf and mute had said, he immediately realized the gravity of the situation.

"What is the name of the person who took the girl student?"

"Principal Wei said his name is Feng Lin, and he is the owner of a landscaping company."

Hearing this name, Tang Ye's pupils constricted sharply, and he said in a low voice, "Sister, we have been watching him for a long time. I will definitely rescue the girl safely."

"Who exactly is this Feng Lin?"

"He is the son of Feng Kun, Deputy Director of the Municipal Finance Bureau," Tang Ye did not hide it. "The landscaping company under his name is just a tool for gathering wealth, and I'm afraid Li Yongbo's 'accidental death' has something to do with him."

Cheng Lin exclaimed, "So that girl is in great danger now?"

"I will have Wan Ming take rescue action immediately."

"Mm, I'll leave this matter to you. That girl's name is Yao Ying; although she cannot speak, I have a deep impression of her, she is very beautiful."

Yao Ying's appearance surfaced in Tang Ye's mind.

When he had previously taken Lin Ziyang to donate computers to the school, he had been deeply impressed by this girl.

At the time, he had even felt regret, wondering why heaven was so cruel to let such a beautiful girl have a disability.

Hanging up the phone, Tang Ye immediately said to Wan Ming, "Secretary Cheng called; Feng Lin abducted a girl from the school for the deaf and mute while attending a charity event today. You must contact Er Zi immediately; the person must be rescued!"

"Feng Lin wouldn't even spare a deaf and mute child?" Wan Ming was so angry his face turned livid.

Wu Ji, who had been silent, suddenly spoke, his voice eerie: "I advise you to move fast. That guy Feng Lin has no bottom line; if the girl falls into his hands, she's finished."

"That's not for you to worry about," Wan Ming glanced at him coldly. "You had better confess honestly how exactly Li Yongbo died."

"I already told you, he died of alcohol poisoning; it has nothing to do with anyone else," Wu Ji remained stubborn.

Tang Ye sighed lightly and directly increased the pressure: "Sun Gang confessed that it was he who dragged Li Yongbo to the funeral home to be cremated. According to him, Li Yongbo's face was unrecognizable at the time, and he had clearly been beaten to death before he died. If you refuse to admit it, this homicide will be pinned on you—attempted murder and completed murder have very different consequences."

Wu Ji's fingers clenched instantly, his Adam's apple rolled violently, and a flash of panic crossed his eyes.

He looked at the cold surveillance camera in the interrogation room, and thinking that Feng Lin was likely at a dead end now, he was experiencing an intense internal struggle.

On the other side, Feng Lin sat in the back seat of the car, greedily staring at the delicate-looking Yao Ying beside him; the more he looked, the more moving he found her, and he couldn't help but reach out to touch the back of her hand.

Yao Ying recoiled as if burned, looking at him with a face full of terror.

Seeing her frightened appearance, a surge of twisted pleasure rose in Feng Lin's heart, and he coaxed with a smile, "Don't be so nervous, I like you very much and won't hurt you."

Yao Ying gripped her skirt tightly, seeing the disgusting evil intent in Feng Lin's eyes.

A sense of despair, where she could call to heaven or earth with no response, instantly engulfed her.

The car stopped in front of a luxury villa. After Yao Ying got out, she realized Principal Wei and the others hadn't followed, and she hurriedly gestured with sign language: "Where is Principal Wei?"

Although Feng Lin couldn't understand sign language, he guessed her meaning and faked a smile: "Our car drove fast; let's go inside and rest for a while, Principal Wei will be here in a moment."

Although Yao Ying could not speak, she could understand what the other party said through lip-reading.

The more she thought about it, the more she felt something was wrong; she shook her head desperately and refused with sign language: "No, I want to wait for Principal Wei here."

Feng Lin frowned and gave the driver a look.

The driver silently circled behind Yao Ying, took out a piece of gauze soaked in medicine, and suddenly covered her mouth and nose.

Yao Ying struggled a few times, then her body went limp.

Feng Lin nodded at the driver with satisfaction: "Take her to the room."

This driver was already a veteran at this kind of dirty work; every time Feng Lin took a fancy to a girl, he was responsible for "handling" it.

Either by throwing money at them, deceiving them with affection, or, if they were difficult, using sedatives to knock them out and taking photos to threaten them.

Most girls, faced with coercion and inducement, eventually had to submit.

And this time, not even sparing a disabled deaf and mute girl, Feng Lin's actions were simply insane.

The driver carried Yao Ying upstairs, threw her on the bed, and left.

Feng Lin walked to the bedside, reached out to pinch Yao Ying's cheek, and muttered to himself: "The skin is as tender as paper, you can even see the blood vessels; she really is a stunner. As long as you are obedient, I will keep you like a canary and ensure you have glory and wealth for a lifetime."

Not long after, Yao Ying slowly opened her eyes as the sedative wore off, only to discover in terror that Feng Lin was standing in front of her, stark naked.

She wanted to scream for help, but could only let out hoarse whimpers.

Feng Lin approached with a sinister grin: "Baby, don't be afraid, brother will be very gentle. As long as you obediently cooperate, you can have as many designer clothes and bags as you want; I guarantee you will be the happiest girl."

Just as Feng Lin leaned in close, Yao Ying struggled desperately, and in her panic, she used her fingernails to scratch his eye corner severely.

Feng Lin was instantly annoyed and ashamed, raising his hand to slap her hard across the face: "You bitch, you dare to fight back! It's your good fortune that I took a fancy to you!"

Yao Ying only felt the taste of blood in her mouth, looking at this demon with a heart full of fear.

At this moment, Feng Lin's phone suddenly rang.

He answered the call and roared irritably: "Where the hell did you go? No news all day! I'm busy right now, talk later!"

Wu Ji's voice came from the other end of the phone: "Young Master Feng, this matter is very important; it concerns Li Yongbo's death. I have already arrived at the villa and must report to you in person."

Hearing Li Yongbo's name, Feng Lin took a deep breath and suppressed his anger: "Understood!"

Hanging up the phone, Feng Lin rummaged through the cabinet for handcuffs, tied Yao Ying tightly to the bed, licked his lips, and said viciously, "Wait until I finish my business; I'll deal with you properly when I get back!"

Afterwards, he walked quickly downstairs and opened the courtyard gate.

Seeing a stranger standing behind Wu Ji, Feng Lin frowned vigilantly: "Wu Ji, who is he?"

Wu Ji did not answer, and the person behind him suddenly made a move.

One hand quickly landed on Feng Lin's shoulder, while the other foot swept out fiercely.

Feng Lin only felt his body soar into the air, his back slamming heavily against the ground, his head buzzing, and stars dancing before his eyes.
