Policeman Shi nodded, "I understand, thank you Mr. Ye."
"No problem, shall I go to the police station with you now?"
"Yes, it's best if you come with us, since your bank card hasn't been found yet, and we'll need to file a report."
"Okay." Ye Junwen was very cooperative, then he turned to look at Old Master Ye and Old Madam, "Mom, Dad, I'm going to the police station with Policeman Shi, you two have a good rest after lunch, don't overexert yourselves."
Old Madam nodded, "Alright, you go on."
Ye Junwen left the hospital with Policeman Shi.
Old Madam sighed, "Oh my, I thought this had something to do with Junwen!"
Old Master Ye didn't say anything, just put down his chopsticks and stood up, "You eat slowly, I'm going to talk to Junli."
Around noon, Gu Qi sent Shi Shuning, Xu Wanwan, and He Junting back home, telling them to rest up and come back later if they wanted to.
So at this time, only Ye Junli and Gu Qi were having lunch in Ye Jinmeng's ward. The ICU was under 24-hour medical care, so family members couldn't keep watch, and there was no emergency, so they were just resting in Ye Jinmeng's VIP ward.
Old Master Ye opened the ward door, motioning for Ye Junli to come out. Ye Junli told Gu Qi something and then went outside.
Ye Junli saw that Old Master Ye's expression wasn't good, and thought that something might be wrong with his health. "Dad, are you feeling unwell?"
Old Master Ye sat on a bench and sighed. "The police just came and took Junwen away."
Ye Junli's eyes widened, his heart racing as a realization dawned on him.
"Dad, what do you mean? Is this related to Junwen?"
Old Master Ye closed his eyes. He had spent his whole life in the business world, seen all kinds of people and tricks, and never met anyone who could easily deceive his sharp eyes. Although he didn't want to believe it, it seemed the facts were just that.
Ye Junli looked at the expression on his father's face and knew he had guessed correctly.
"The police found that the driver received a million-yuan payment, and the account it was transferred to belonged to Junwen, but Junwen said his card must have been stolen..."
Old Master Ye simply recounted what had just happened to Ye Junli.
"Junli, you said that between Junwen and Jinchen..."
Ye Junli took a deep breath, struggling to control his emotions. "Dad, there's something I've never told you. After Junwen went to the company, he ruined many cooperations, even incited some employees and management to slack off. He also stole the company seal to sign a cooperation project with the Xiao Group.
Luckily Jinchen had ways to handle these things, but to find out Junwen's ultimate goal, he didn't expose him, and just turned a blind eye to that cooperation with the Xiao Group."
"I never thought his goal was to kill my son!"
Ye Junli tightened his fists, his eyes burning with fury as he stared at the ceiling.
Old Master Ye never imagined his youngest son had done such things at the company, and he angrily pounded his own thigh.
"That scumbag!"
His haggard face instantly streaked with tears. "What am I going to do?"
This involved his own son and grandchildren - his own flesh and blood. It was breaking his heart.
Ye Junli knew his father was at a loss, and closed his eyes. "Dad, let's just wait for the police investigation results. The police care about evidence, if this was truly his idea, then let him face the consequences he deserves."
...
While Policeman Shi was at the hospital, he had already dispatched people to the Welcome Inn to arrest Xiao Jianren based on the address Ye Junwen provided. Xiao Jianren was indeed a fool, knowing he couldn't count on Ye Junwen anymore, but didn't even bother to change locations...
When the police broke down the door, Xiao Jianren was still snoring on the bed. After being woken up by the police, he still didn't understand what was happening until he felt the cold handcuffs on his wrists.
"Are you Xiao Jianren?" the policeman asked.
Xiao Jianren nodded blankly.
The next moment, he reacted and started shouting, "Who are you people? Where's the service staff? How dare you barge into my room! Be careful, I'll call the police on you!"
The police in the room were speechless.
They took out their badges and shoved them in Xiao Jianren's face. "Look closely, we are the police."
"Xiao Jianren, according to the investigation, you are suspected of hiring a hitman for murder. We're taking you to the police station for questioning! Take him away!"
Xiao Jianren finally realized these were real police. Seeing the handcuffs on her wrists, she started struggling.
"You've got the wrong person, I'm not Xiao Jianren, I'm being framed!"
The police: ...
At the police station.
Xiao Jianren sat in the interrogation room, trembling as she looked at the two policemen across the bars.
"I-I-I... I'm not, I didn't do it, don't make things up!"
"The driver you hired has already confessed. He provided the recording of you hiring him to ram the victim. This is evidence."
Indeed, that driver had participated in many shady dealings before, and often secretly recorded when people asked him to help with various things, to keep a backup.
So this time was no exception, he directly recorded Xiao Jianren hiring him to ram someone.
With surveillance video, recordings, and phone records between the two, Xiao Jianren couldn't escape this.
Her face turned deathly pale, her lips trembling as she thought about what Ye Junwen had said to her at the inn, and she immediately tried to shift the blame.
"I was forced into it, it was... it was Ye Junwen who threatened me to do this. He said if I didn't, he would... he would kill me!"
The two policemen exchanged a glance. "How did he approach you? Why didn't you report his threat?"
"I... I..."
Xiao Jianren's eyes darted around as she thought of a plan.
"After my father kicked me out, I found a cheap inn to live in. He coveted my beauty, followed me there, and then threatened me in my room... He even transferred 100,000 yuan to me as hush money!"
The policemen: ...
Not to mention other things, they had already verified Ye Junwen's account based on the surveillance footage and call records of the places they had been to - it was Xiao Jianren who had actively called Ye Junwen and gone to the inn with him.
The only thing left to prove is whether Ye Junwen was the true mastermind behind it all.
