My online dating circle has millions of followers, why would she put a collar on me?

Jiang Yi spoke these words in an extremely calm tone.

Gu Qinghan's pupils contracted slightly, and he suddenly stood up from his chair.

The chair leg scraped against the tiled floor of the interrogation room with a piercing screech, like the mournful cry of some small animal.

"Jiang Yi, are you even human?"

Her voice wasn't loud, but every word sounded like it had been pulled from an ice cellar, carrying an extremely suppressed, almost bursting dam of anger.

"Xiaoyue flew all the way from Shanghai to see you. She's been waiting for you for almost a year, transferred over 1.3 million yuan to you, and spends every day with you!"

"She's standing right in front of you, crying like this, and you're telling me you 'have nothing to say'?"

Jiang Yi raised his head and looked at Gu Qinghan.

The light cast a deep shadow on his eyes, making his once bright eyes look like two bottomless holes.

"Miss Gu, I've told you everything I can."

His voice was as hoarse as sandpaper scraping against glass, and every word seemed to be squeezed out of his throat.

"The person I had an online romance with wasn't me, it was my sister. She was the one who used my photos to register the account, chat with Su Xiaoyue, receive money, and recharge her game account."

"By the time I found out about this, all the money was gone; almost all of the 1.3 million was gone."

Jiang Yi paused at this point.

He understood that Gu Qinghan still didn't believe him, so he could only blurt it all out in one go.

"I went to the airport to pick up Su Xiaoyue because my sister begged me, saying she didn't want to go to jail and that she was scared."

"I've cursed at her, hit her, forced her to sell her account to pay back the money, and forced her to move equipment and suffer."

"I even thought about working to pay off this debt myself, working three jobs a day for ten or twenty years, and paying back as much as I could."

"But I can't deny what I've done."

"The photos are mine, the account was registered with my ID card, I was the one who picked her up at the airport, I was the one who hugged her, and I was the one who said those things to her."

"Whatever the reason, I did do those things."

"I have no intention of shirking responsibility, nor do I want anyone to take the blame for me."

"But if you ask me 'I have nothing to say,' I really don't know what to say."

"I already told you everything in the car. No matter how much I say now, you won't believe me."

Jiang Yi's voice finally showed some change as he spoke.

"If you really want to know the truth, ask my sister, ask the police."

"I don't know anything right now."

"I can no longer distinguish which things I should be responsible for and which things I simply cannot be responsible for."

Gu Qinghan opened her mouth as if to say something, but swallowed the words back.

She stared at Jiang Yi for a few seconds. In his usually sharp eyes, the anger was still there, but there was something else in them.

It was hard to tell whether it was doubt, wavering, or just a subtle crack that she herself wasn't even aware of.

"Do you have any evidence for what you're saying?"

Her voice was a little lower than before, and the sharpness in her tone had lessened somewhat, but it was still piercing.

"You say the person you're dating online is your sister, do you have any proof?"

Jiang Yi looked at her and remained silent for two seconds.

"Jiang Miaomiao".

他 说:

"My sister's name is Jiang Miaomiao. Please check her social media accounts, check the transfer records, and check which game account the money ended up in."

"Given your background, it would be too easy to find out."

Gu Qinghan frowned slightly but remained silent.

Su Xiaoyue sat there without saying a word since she came in.

Her tears had stopped flowing, not because she stopped crying, but because she had cried them all out.

His eyes were so red they looked like they were about to bleed, and there were still wet tears on his eyelashes, glistening in the pale light of the interrogation room like shattered stars.

Her lips were trembling, not from the cold, but from the uncontrollable physiological reaction that came after emotions had surged to their peak.

She looked at Jiang Yi as if she were looking at someone she had never met before.

In fact, it seemed that she really didn't know the man in front of her at all.

They hadn't even met for more than half a day.

However, she simply cannot believe it now.

She spent nearly a year, 1.3 million yuan, and hundreds of days and nights waiting and longing.

She didn't fall in love with the person in front of her, but with a phantom she imagined that didn't exist at all.

This realization is more despairing than any betrayal.

Because betrayal at least means that the other person was real, and she doesn't even have that now.

She was simply deceived.

Being scammed is one thing, but another.

She doesn't lack the 130 million; at most, she'll be heartbroken for a while.

You'll eventually get through it.

But, unfortunately...

The person from my dream was right in front of me, and we had spent such a pleasant afternoon together.

Now you're suddenly telling her it was all an act?

all fake.

How could she possibly believe that?

"Xiaoyue, stop this, say something."

Gu Qinghan held her hand and found that it was as cold as a piece of ice that had just been taken out of the refrigerator.

Su Xiaoyue did not respond to Gu Qinghan's words, nor did she even look at her.

Her gaze remained fixed on Jiang Yi, her lips moved a few times, and finally a sound came out.

It was very light and hoarse, as if it were coming through a thick layer of water.

"Is it really not you?"

Jiang Miaomiao, you've really done something terrible!

Jiang Yi lowered his head and cursed Jiang Miaomiao in his heart.

Jiang Yi didn't dare look the girl in the eye at all, and could only mumble a "hmm".

Su Xiaoyue didn't ask any more questions and grasped Gu Qinghan's hand.

"Qinghan, let's go back to Shanghai."

Gu Qinghan glanced at Su Xiaoyue, then at Jiang Yi.

"Xiaoyue, should we stop asking..."

However, Su Xiaoyue shook her head, her eyes lifeless, and she had no strength left.

"No need, Qinghan, take me back, I'm tired."

Gu Qinghan wanted to say something more, but at that moment, she noticed Zhao Hanting's gesture through the crack in the door, which clearly signaled for them to leave quickly.

"If you dare to lie to us, I'll make you pay the price."

Before leaving, Gu Qinghan glared at Jiang Yi, then quickly left with Su Xiaoyue.

With a muffled slam of the door shut, the interrogation room fell silent once more.

The arrival of Gu Qinghan and Su Xiaoyue made Jiang Yi's already exhausted body feel even more uncomfortable and heavy.

Jiang Yi's vision went black, and he collapsed onto the table.

She fainted.
