After Being Cyber Bullied, She Reveals Her True Identity-Chapter 445 - 440: If Not You, Then Her

Chi Boyuan drove hurriedly from outside, having only returned to the south a couple of days before the incident. He rushed back overnight, skipping a visit to the Chi Family, and went directly to the Zhai Family.

At that moment, the Zhai Family premises were filled with an oppressive atmosphere!

Had there been no investigation, they might have truly gone to the Qi Family’s door, relying solely on the name left on a cellphone.

Chi Boyuan walked briskly into the hall and saw personnel upstairs still taking photographs and collecting evidence. He turned his head toward the sullen-faced Zhai Family members and Mrs. Zhai, who was crying her eyes out, his eyebrows knitted tightly together.

Even when Qi Si had lashed out before, he had left Zhai Xilan with a breath of life, not going this far.

Therefore, he believed in Qi Si.

But the Zhai Family...

Chi Boyuan’s gaze fell on Zhai Hongshen, who sat with a grim face, motionless, not even glancing at him.

Being considerate of the Zhai Family’s emotions, Chi Boyuan did not immediately approach Zhai Hongshen, but moved upstairs, leveraging his status.

Upstairs.

Ouyang Lin came out following a seasoned officer, and upon seeing Chi Boyuan, was startled, and then asked, "Why are you here?"

"The eldest son of the Zhai Family is my brother, and the deceased is someone I know as well," Chi Boyuan said without any avoidance.

Ouyang Lin nodded in understanding, "Condolences."

"Have you found any other clues? The suspect is also my brother," Chi Boyuan’s brow furrowed even more tightly.

Ouyang Lin looked at Chi Boyuan in surprise, while Chi Boyuan showed a bitter smile.

Ouyang Lin understood why he had hurried back, "For now, there’s no evidence that proves the suspect is being falsely accused. We need to see the person named on the cellphone, there are many things we need to understand."

Chi Boyuan, thinking of Qi Si’s temperament, pondered for a moment and said, "I will make him cooperate as much as possible."

This was to be expected, but upon hearing Chi Boyuan’s words, Ouyang Lin did not inquire further.

Qi Si’s plane had just landed when someone was already waiting for him outside the airport.

The Qi Family, upon learning of the incident, had their faces turn ashen!

As Qi Si walked with the officers, the approaching Qi Family members looked even more distressed.

Song Jinwei stared blankly as her eldest son got into the police car and then disappeared before her eyes, unable to snap back to reality.

No matter how ruthless or heartless her son was, he wouldn’t be a murderer.

But the stark facts laid out before her forced her into panic.

"Mom, big brother will be fine. I believe in him," Qi Heng steadied the staggering Song Jinwei and affirmed his stance.

Song Jinwei, pale, clutched Qi Heng’s hand tightly, "Qi Heng, he’s your brother. You have to save him... you must save him."

"I will, as long as he hasn’t done it..."

Song Jinwei’s voice was hoarse, barely audible to just the two of them, "No, even if he did it, you have to protect him at all costs... even if it means going to jail, you must save his life."

Qi Heng looked at his mother in shock, then gritted his teeth and said, "Okay, I promise you."

Song Jinwei trembled all over, unable to stand straight, leaving Qi Heng no choice but to help her sit down to one side.

*

The Shen Family also hurried over, and Gu Ting saw the pale-faced, red-eyed Song Jinwei. He opened his mouth but ultimately said nothing.

It was others who reminded them that the Shen Family and the Qi Family, carrying their silence, went to the police station to await the results of the interrogation.

During this process, they were tormented.

No one paid any attention to why Shen Yan had not returned with them. Her man was involved in such a major incident, yet she was nowhere to be found.

Regarding Qi Si’s suspicion, aside from Zhai Xilan’s cellphone bearing his name, there were no other direct pieces of evidence. Considering Zhai Xilan’s open affection for Qi Si, the name on the cellphone was not evidence of suspicion. Without more leads, the police had no choice but to regard Qi Si as a key figure in the case, requiring his cooperation with the investigation. Qi Si had no objections to this.

"Big brother!"

Seeing Qi Si come out unharmed, Qi Heng stood up immediately, his heart suddenly feeling immensely alleviated!

The others rose to their feet as well.

Song Jinwei let out a long sigh of relief, it seemed Qi Si was not the one behind it, thank goodness he hadn’t done it.

Just now, for a moment, Song Jinwei had harbored some doubt towards his eldest son, and thinking of that now made him somewhat uncomfortable, he couldn’t bring himself to look his son in the eye.

This reaction, to others, signaled dissatisfaction with Qi Si.

"Qi Si, are you alright?" Gu Ting hurriedly asked the questioned man.

Qi Si shook his head, "I’m fine."

The elders from the Qi Family couldn’t help but ask: "Are you really completely uninvolved in this matter?"

Qi Si’s voice was indifferent, "I’m not."

The Qi Family finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"Big brother, Grandfather has called," Qi Heng stepped forward, "I’ve already sent a message back."

Qi Si just nodded slightly, then turned his gaze to the corridor on the other side, at the end of which was the reception room for the Zhai Family.

Following Qi Si’s gaze, everyone fell into an unconscious silence.

"You all go back, there’s nothing more to do here."

Having said that, Qi Si turned and walked towards that reception room.

"Qi Si, you didn’t do it, no need to feel guilty," Gu Ting called out softly from behind him.

Qi Si nodded without turning around.

Gu Ting sighed and turned to glance at Song Jinwei and the others, leading the Shen Family away first.

As long as it didn’t involve Qi Si, then it had nothing to do with them, the Shen Family.

The Shen and Zhai families were also at loggerheads; staying longer might cause unnecessary trouble out of nowhere.

The anger towards Zhai Xilan from before had dissipated with her death, and the Shen Family could not further retaliate against the Zhai Family now.

Of course, if the Zhai Family really acted recklessly, the Shen Family was prepared to go all out.

Given that the Zhai Family had lost a daughter, the current restraint of the Shen Family was already merciful.

*

"Slap."

A cold sound suddenly echoed in the quiet reception room.

"You owe me my daughter..." Mrs. Zhai, her eyes red with tears, lunged forward.

"It has nothing to do with me," Qi Si’s voice was so cold it almost gave off a chill.

The Zhai Family quickly held Mrs. Zhai back, but their gazes towards Qi Si turned unfriendly.

"Right now, they haven’t found any evidence that links you to it, but Xilan’s death must be related to you."

The Zhai Family members were convinced that Qi Si was responsible.

Qi Si’s gaze shifted to Zhai Hongshen.

Zhai Hongshen stood there silently, meeting Qi Si’s gaze, both of their eyes exceedingly calm.

It was one thing for Qi Si to act this way, but Zhai Hongshen’s silence was very unsettling.

"Hongshen," Chi Boyuan placed his hand on Zhai Hongshen’s shoulder: "Having only a name doesn’t mean anything, the fact he is being released shows everything."

Zhai Hongshen slowly removed Chi Boyuan’s hand and looked at Qi Si: "Really not related at all? Tell me, Qi Si."

Qi Si looked at him coldly, offering no response.

Zhai Hongshen closed his eyes briefly, then reopening them to look at Qi Si, the coldness in his eyes growing deeper: "Xilan kept muttering that Shen Yan was going to kill her. If it wasn’t you, then it must be her."

Following these words, the atmosphere in the room turned ice-cold in an instant.

"Zhai Hongshen."

Qi Si sternly stared at Zhai Hongshen, calling out his full name.

Everyone felt as if a bone-chilling cold was compressing in on them.
