Jingzhou City, Provincial Public Security Bureau.

trial room.

Nguyen Thanh Ngoc sat in the interrogation chair with his eyes closed, as if he had fallen asleep.

Outside the interrogation room.

A forensic doctor in a white coat said:

"In this case, the prisoner has likely taken hypnotic drugs."

"We have to wait until the effects of the medication wear off before we can conduct the interrogation."

Mu Chen nodded.

Knowing that this was Zhao Donglai's way of stalling for time, Mu Chen was not in a hurry. As long as Ruan Chengyu was in his hands, he would have plenty of time.

"Monitor his condition closely and give him some medication to help him regain consciousness."

"I'll wait here for him to wake up."

Following Mu Chen's instructions, the forensic doctor began to work, injecting medication into Ruan Chengyu.

Mu Chen waited outside the interrogation room.

Sitting in the chair, he pondered how to break down Ruan Chengyu's defenses and tell her the truth in detail.

Several hours passed in the blink of an eye.

When Nguyen Thanh Ngoc opened his eyes, he found himself not in the cell where he had been staying.

Instead, it was a brand new interrogation room.

And there was a man standing in front of him who exuded a strong sense of pressure, looking at him indifferently.

"You...who are you?"

"Why am I here..."

Ruan Chengyu only remembers being forcibly taken to the treatment room and forced to take hypnotic drugs.

Then a wave of drowsiness washed over me.

In a daze, I felt as if someone was helping me walk a long way.

As for the rest, I know nothing.

"This is the Provincial Public Security Bureau," the imposing man in front explained. "Don't worry, you don't need to worry about any threats from the Shanshui Group here."

"Their hands can't reach in here yet."

"Now let's have a proper talk. Why did you frame Qi Tongwei for hiring someone to commit murder?"

"Who is the real mastermind behind hiring you to kill someone?"

And on the opposite side.

When Ruan Chengyu heard that there were no people from the Shanshui Group here, a hint of joy flashed in his eyes.

But then, as if remembering something, his expression darkened again.

He said in a deep voice, "I don't know what you're talking about. It was Qi Tongwei who ordered me to hit someone."

"He also had Gao Xiaoqin give me a sum of money."

"I hit someone because of money."

Ruan Chengyu looked resigned to his fate, but Mu Chen on the other side smiled.

Each sentence points directly to Nguyen Thanh Ngoc's deepest secrets.

He said, "You should still remember the island in the middle of the lake, right?"

"Although you are unmarried on the surface, you actually have a wife and a lovely daughter."

"I live on the island in the middle of the lake."

"The people from Shanshui Group used your wife and daughters to threaten you, forcing you to run over Chen Hai and also forcing you to change your story and falsely accuse Qi Tongwei of hiring someone to kill you."

Ruan Chengyu's eyes widened suddenly.

She looked at Mu Chen in disbelief and demanded, "How did you know?!"

Ruan Chengyu suddenly became very agitated.

But it immediately turned into a sigh.

"But what good is it if you know..."

"My daughter is in the hands of the Shanshui Group. I have no choice but to obey them!"

"I have no other choice."

Seeing Ruan Chengyu's reaction, Mu Chen immediately understood the situation.

It seems that Ruan Chengyu really likes his daughter. The way the Shanshui Group controls him is indeed through his wife and daughter. This makes things easier.

No, you have other options.

Mu Chen suddenly took out his phone and made a video call in front of Ruan Chengyu, putting the screen in front of Ruan Chengyu's eyes.

soon.

The video call was connected, and a mother and daughter appeared on the phone screen.

The familiar figure made Ruan Chengyu feel somewhat dazed.

This was clearly the person he had always dreamed of seeing! Someone he felt he might never see again in his lifetime…

"Your wife and daughters are now safe and sound, having escaped the control of the Shanshui Group."

"You no longer need to worry about the threat from the Shanshui Group."

"Now you can speak the truth with confidence."

Mu Chen's words broke down Ruan Chengyu's last line of defense. He was just an ordinary truck driver, so why would he want to deliberately run someone over and kill them?

There's just no other way!

And now they have finally broken free from the control of the Shanshui Group.

Ruan Chengyu burst into tears.

He felt a huge weight lifted off his shoulders: "I'll talk, I'll talk."

"Sir, you must do justice for me! I did all this because the Shanshui Group forced me to!"

"The people who wanted me to run over Chen Hai are from the Shanshui Group!"

"The person who made me frame Qi Tongwei was also from the Shanshui Group!"

Chapter 49 The Shanshui Group is a cancer in Handong!

P.S.: Although the number of requests for more chapters didn't reach 600, the number of follow-up chapters did, so I'll be adding two extra chapters today!!

Ruan Chengyu recounted in detail how the Shanshui Group threatened him and how they made him frame Qi Tongwei.

The police officers working nearby quickly took down Nguyen Thanh Ngoc's statement.

After Ruan Chengyu finished explaining the matter.

A completely different statement was then recorded, and Nguyen Thanh Ngoc pressed his fingerprint and signed it.

They acknowledged the authenticity of the statement.

The interrogation conducted at the Provincial Public Security Bureau was also legal.

It can be said that the opportunity to overturn Qi Tongwei's case has been presented!

At Mu Chen's instruction, the confession was recorded by the Provincial Public Security Department and sent to Gao Yuliang, Secretary of the Political and Legal Affairs Commission, Governor Liu, the second-in-command of the province, and Sha Ruijin, Secretary of the Provincial Party Committee.

A verbal notification also followed.

A special envoy from the Central Committee will convene a meeting of the Provincial Party Committee Standing Committee tomorrow! All eleven registered members of the Provincial Party Committee Standing Committee must be present!

Not one can be absent!

At the same time, Hou Liangping, director of the Anti-Corruption Bureau, and Zhao Donglai, director of the Municipal Public Security Bureau, were specially invited to participate in the meeting.

I listened in on the entire process.

Office of the Provincial Party Secretary.

Sha Ruijin looked at the brand-new transcript in his hand, his face grave. The worst had finally happened.

When he learned that Mu Chen had taken Ruan Chengyu away from the Municipal Public Security Bureau today, he had a premonition that once Ruan Chengyu was in Mu Chen's hands, he would definitely change his story and overturn his previous confession.

This confession, however, is crucial evidence for convicting Qi Tongwei.

Upon learning of this, Sha Ruijin immediately gave Zhao Donglai a severe dressing-down, giving him a thorough dressing-down.
