Chapter 960: Assisting the Investigation

Translator: Exodus Tales Editor: Exodus Tales

The potential conflict between the Qin family and the Zhai family could arise from this incident.

Why was this happening?

Did she fail to change the plot of the original novel?

Zhai Yunsheng noticed Jian Yiling’s anxiousness. He quickly gave her a hug: “Don’t worry. I’m here for you.”

Upon hearing this, Jian Yiling raised her head to look at Zhai Yunsheng.

Was he going to leave as well?

“Don’t be scared. I will investigate the situation. I won’t let you be hurt,” Zhai Yunsheng reassured Jian Yiling.

Zhai Yunsheng assumed that Jian Yiling was worried about Qin Hongzhi’s death.

However, this was not the case. Instead, she was worried that she could not stop the original plot of the novel from happening. Several key events occurred as expected.

Then, Zhai Yunsheng asked Jian Yiling: “Who delivered the medicine to the Qin family?”

Jian Yiling: “Nothing could go wrong during the process of delivering the medicine. The medicine was brought to Beijing from Lahaisen Island three days ago by Li Zhuojia. He personally delivered it.”

From the time he left the island to the time he arrived at the Qin Residence, Li Zhuojia kept the medicine beside him. Furthermore, he took Lahaisen Hospital’s own means of transportation.

Li Zhuojia was also very dependable. Nothing would go wrong on his side.

Upon hearing this, Zhai Yunsheng said: “Well, the problem must have occurred after the medicine was delivered to the Qin Residence.”

Master Zhai: “That’s definitely the case. There’s been an ongoing conflict in the Qin family. They’ve constantly been fighting and arguing. There are definitely people in the Qin family who want Qin Hongzhi to die. They’re just blaming Yiling’s medicine!”

After a while, people from the Major Crimes Unit arrived at the Zhai Residence. They made their intentions known as they told Master Zhai that they wanted Jian Yiling to head over to assist with their investigation.

Master Zhai was furious when he heard this: “I want to make it clear to you guys that Yiling has no reason to harm Qin Hongzhi. Why would she be so stupid as to explicitly add poison in the medicine she made?”

Captain Fei, who was the leader of the Major Crimes Unit, responded: “Master Zhai, we’re handling this in a strictly professional manner. Whether or not Miss Jian Yiling did anything, she remains a key personnel in this case. Therefore, we’re asking her to come with us to assist us in the investigation process.”

Jian Yiling: “I will go with you.”

Master Zhai: “Wait, I will ask my lawyer and bodyguards to go with you.”

This made the situation rather difficult for Captain Fei. After a pause, he said: “Master Zhai, that’s not necessary. Please trust in our ability. We are able to protect Miss Jian Yiling.”

As there was conflict between the Zhai family and the Qin family, the person in charge of investigating this case was naturally aware of this.

Jian Yiling: “It’s alright. I will just go with them.”

Jian Yiling was calm and collected. She was not panicking at all.

“No no, what if they bully you?” Master Zhai said. He could not trust others.

“Master Zhai, we’re the police. We’re not bandits or something. You don’t have to worry. We’re just asking Miss Jian Yiling to come with us to assist us in the investigation process.”

“I don’t care! If anything happens to Yiling, I will not forgive you guys!”

There was also a frown on Zhai Yunsheng’s face. He said: “I will go with you.”

Jian Yiling shook her head and replied: “A Sheng, I will be fine. Trust me.”

Then, Jian Yiling left the Zhai Residence with the Major Crimes Unit.

After leaving, she sat down in the backseat of a police vehicle.

A man was already seated there.

Jian Yiling was not at all surprised to see the man.

Then, the man handed Jian Yiling a stack of information: “Here’s information about the Qin family’s case.”

This man was no other than Superintendent Ruan from the Special Crime Investigation Unit.

This time, the Special Crime Investigation Unit intervened in the case.

After all, Jian Yiling’s suspicion had been cleared a long time ago. The Major Crimes Unit already knew about Jian Yiling’s situation.. They knew that Jian Yiling was definitely not the person who poisoned Qin Hongzhi.
