Chapter 832: Li Na Regrets It Too Late!

In this setting, mentioning Xu Haiyan is very inappropriate!

Li Na, this is the rhythm of stirring up trouble...

On the surface, there is only Zhang Lin and Li Na in the interrogation room.

However, every move the two make is being watched by many people.

It is very easy to cause rumors and gossip.

Li Na smiles faintly, "It's not a matter of manipulation; a fair lady is a good match for a gentleman. County Magistrate Zhang, you are an Exchange Cadre, articulate, witty, excellent, and wise; having a female confidante is the most normal thing."

A female confidante?

Zhang Lin slams the table in anger, "Stop being self-righteous! Do you think I would fall for your tricks? I discovered long ago that you were using Xu Haiyan to get close to me. I was merely playing along with your act."

A look of shock flashes across Li Na's eyes, and she says in a deep voice, "Xu Haiyan told me that you two had already..."

Zhang Lin waves his hand, not giving her a chance to speak.

"I let her tell you that.

If she didn't say that, how would you have agreed to help her father with his surgery?

The relationship between Xu Haiyan and me is pure and innocent.

Your intention to use Xu Haiyan to seduce me was seen through by me from the very beginning!"

A trace of anger flashes in Li Na's eyes, and then her gaze sinks.

"I understand now!

From the very beginning, you took the initiative to show me goodwill and help Hongling Group solve its debt problems; it was actually a trap.

You and Liang Shiyu had colluded long ago, just wanting to drag me into a scam."

Zhang Lin remains calm and composed!

He thinks to himself, it is already too late to wake up now.

"You really know how to shift the focus; you actually want to push your own problems away completely.

I satisfied your request and came to see you. You also know my attitude.

If you are willing to cooperate with the investigation and admit your guilt, I can guarantee you that you will definitely be treated leniently;

Additionally, if you can agree to one more request of mine, I can give you more opportunities."

Li Na's emotions gradually return to composure, and she asks, "What request?"

Zhang Lin says, "Merge Hongling Group into Guohong Group."

Li Na sneers, "Kicking someone when they are down! What is the difference between what you are doing now and robbery?"

Zhang Lin smiles slightly and advises with a sanctimonious air,

"With Guohong's financial strength, it can fully allow Hongling's existing business to continue to move forward.

I promise that the acquisition price Guohong gives you will be higher than the market rate.

After you and your father are released from prison, you can still enjoy a comfortable life."

Li Na can be certain...

From the moment she first contacted Zhang Lin, Hongling Group had become the other party's prey.

Zhang Lin deliberately showed interest in Xu Haiyan to lower her guard;

After Hongling Group suffered a major setback, its reputation plummeted, no longer possessing its former glory.

If he can facilitate this merger,

for Zhang Lin, it is definitely a political achievement worth celebrating extensively.

Hongling Group was previously touted as a quasi-listed enterprise with a market value of several billion.

If he can complete the acquisition and redemption of Hongling Group,

it would be enough to be mentioned in the same breath as Tang Ye's Anthracite Project.

By then, the case could even be included in the briefing of the Inter-provincial Exchange Office!

Li Na finally sees through everything, and regret arises in her heart!

Zhang Lin used her burning desire for revenge!

He designed a grand trap!

Seeing that Li Na remains silent, Zhang Lin continues to try to brainwash her!

"Choose to cut off the arm to save the body and preserve some things, or end up with nothing at all.

You are a smart person; you will definitely make the right choice!"

"Is that so? Perhaps the final result will exceed your expectations." A strange smile suddenly curls at the corner of Li Na's mouth.

"I have given you a chance; if you remain stubborn, then I can do nothing to help!"

Li Na's attitude is very improper.

It must be that she has not suffered enough, so she refuses to bow her head!

Zhang Lin decides!

He still needs to keep her waiting a while longer!

Zhang Lin walks out of the interrogation room and dials Liang Shiyu's number.

"Li Na has been caught. You can proceed with our plan!"

Liang Shiyu sighs on the other end of the phone: "What was her reaction?"

Zhang Lin replies: "She is truly a strong-willed woman. She still harbors wishful thinking!"

Liang Shiyu is silent for a moment and says: "I want to see her."

Zhang Lin says 'mm' on the phone: "However, she might not be willing to see you."

Liang Shiyu said confidently, "She is like a drowning person right now; in her eyes, anyone could be a straw to clutch at. She will definitely see me."

……

Inside the room at the Detention Center.

Li Na combed through the sequence of events.

She had been played for a fool...

"Li Na, someone wants to see you," the guard said, pushing the door open to speak to her.

"Who?" Li Na asked, looking up.

"Liang Shiyu," the guard replied.

"Him?" Li Na was stunned for a moment.

The guard then asked, "Will you see him?"

"See him! Of course I will see him!"

Li Na arrived at the Interrogation Room.

Li Na was wearing an oversized prison uniform, with no makeup on.

When Liang Shiyu saw that familiar face, his heart still could not help but give a sharp tug.

"Li Na, don't worry. I have already contacted the best Lawyer for you; I will definitely find a way to help you fight for your freedom," Liang Shiyu said, his tone full of concern.

A thick smear of sarcasm curled the corners of Li Na's mouth: "Liang Shiyu, can you stop being so disgusting? It was clearly you who schemed to frame me, so why bother putting on this hypocritical act here?"

Liang Shiyu shrugged helplessly, his tone carrying a hint of grievance: "You have a misunderstanding about me. I truly never expected you to have contact with Hasan. Sigh, I regret so much now that I didn't warn you in time back then. Hasan is just an unreliable middleman; he is a gambler with serious debt problems, which is why I have always been wary of him."

Watching Liang Shiyu still racking his brains to absolve himself, Li Na could not help but sneer: "Still acting? Aren't you tired?"

"My feelings for you have always been from the bottom of my heart. Ever since high school, I have always liked you. For you, I could even give up everything," Liang Shiyu continued to speak high-sounding sweet nothings, though a hint of triumph could not be hidden deep in his eyes.

"You are doing this to take revenge for me rejecting you back then, aren't you? It seems I was right."

"I have never hated you. On the contrary, the past you created the present me."

Having spoken his mind, Liang Shiyu only felt refreshed and incomparably gratified.

"I have always secretly sworn that I must get ahead; otherwise, Guohong Group wouldn't have developed so well over these years."

Liang Shiyu's mindset could be considered: "The first sword after reaching the shore, strike down the one you love!"

"Li Na, I know Hongling Group is your father's life's work. As long as you agree to transfer Hongling Group to me, I promise you that I will definitely preserve the Hongling brand, and you will still be the one to manage it; I won't let it just disappear like this," Liang Shiyu put on an earnest and well-meaning expression. "You should be clear that Hongling Group is currently beset by crises. Once those shareholders know the news of your arrest, there is no telling what their reaction will be. If you nod now and transfer the shares to me, at the very least, you can preserve a final shred of dignity for yourself and your father."

"Liang Shiyu, stop dreaming!" Li Na's tone was full of determination. "I will never bow to you! It hasn't reached the final step yet; I haven't lost..."

Liang Shiyu felt Li Na was unreasonable and went straight to full-blown mockery.

"I'd like to see how long you can keep being stubborn!"
