Yang Zhi still maintained her denial, "I never took any money, and I don’t know what’s going on with Chen Mo. Don’t ask , I don’t know anything. I’ve been divorced from him for a long ti. He’s already ruined my life enough. I finally have a new family, a new life. Please, I beg you, let go..."
At the end, she was crying hysterically, as if she wanted to cry out all the suffering she had endured over the years.
Li Hao wanted to reprimand her sternly but was stopped by Mu Anhan, "Let’s go!"
"But..." Li Hao frowned. There was no progress here, so what else was there to investigate?
Xue Xiangtong had also brought the little girl back to Yang Zhi, which finally cald her crying.
"Sister Yang, the little girl is smart and cute, truly lovable. Just now when we passed by a toy store, the owner even gave her a pinwheel as a gift," Xue Xiangtong said softly, "But she only wanted two postcards because she wants to draw on them and give them to her most beloved dad and mom."
Yang Zhi held her daughter in her arms, sobbing constantly.
After Mu Anhan paid the bill, the three of them left the Western restaurant together.
"We’ve already tried to reason with her. Yang Zhi is indeed a pitiable and pitiful woman, but that doesn’t give her an excuse to cover up a cri." Xue Xiangtong sighed.
"She may be pitiable and pitiful, but what about those injured in the fire? What about those who died in the fire? Those who have made mistakes cannot be forgiven out of compassion," Li Hao replied sternly.
Xue Xiangtong nodded, "Yang Zhi’s bank account doesn’t show any large deposits, making it hard to trace a large sum of money."
"She wouldn’t keep it in the bank; that’s sothing easily checked. She might have hidden the cash sowhere," Li Hao speculated, "but where, we’ll have to look further."
"Actually, I have another idea. If that money really exists, Yang Zhi’s son will eventually need surgery, including a bone marrow transplant. When they pay the hospital, they won’t be able to hide it, but it could take ti — maybe a year or two before we find it," Xue Xiangtong frowned.
Upon hearing Xue Xiangtong’s suggestion, Li Hao said, "But the case has such a big impact now. If we don’t uncover the truth, how could we answer to those who were hurt? How could we give an explanation to our superiors? How could we face everyone suffering from the fire? Besides..."
He paused and glanced at Mu Anhan, "Mr. Gu was also a victim of the fire. Our city leaders have given us a firm order: if we don’t find the truth, we’d better just quit this line of work."
Mu Anhan, hearing what they said, just walked silently on the street without expressing any opinion. Because she knew that planning such a major fire incident was sothing Chen Mo and his wife couldn’t possibly accomplish alone, she had to admit that the mastermind behind it had chosen Chen Mo well.
The three of them remained silent, walking down the street.
Suddenly, Mu Anhan stopped in her tracks.
"Think about it, if there really is such a large sum of money, where would Yang Zhi hide it? Even if her conscience tornted her, she wouldn’t take it out, because it could both save her son’s life and improve her daughter’s future. Once a woman becos a mother, she’ll do things she never would have done before," Mu Anhan looked at them.
