"Why are you telling me all this?"

"It has nothing to do with me!"

Peng Yuanqing’s expression changed as he stammered out these two sentences.

Chen Xiao chuckled lightly, "It seems like it really has nothing to do with you. I’m only here to collect your blood sample, which will then be handed over to the police for matching."

Peng Yuanqing’s eyes widened instantly.

"Do you know what you’re saying? Taking my blood for matching? Do you mean I...!"

Before Peng Yuanqing could finish, Chen Xiao interrupted him.

"That’s right, we need to collect yours. Of course, Peng Zhou’s needs to be collected as well."

"Why? Are you police always so unreasonable?!"

"Unreasonable? Now I understand, when you want to talk reason, you prefer to discuss the law. And when talking about the law, you want to discuss reason! But will the law reason with you? You have to cooperate!"

As he spoke, Chen Xiao’s expression suddenly turned cold:

"No, why are you so resistant? It’s just a little blood collection, just a prick, why are you against it? Unless...?"

As soon as Chen Xiao finished speaking, Peng Yuanqing jumped to his feet:

"Stop talking nonsense, what does Lian Yuhong being pregnant have to do with me?"

"You say it has nothing to do with you now, then let me collect your blood for testing. Of course, if you’re afraid I’m targeting you, come with me to the criminal investigation team! Anyway, whoever collects it is the same, and tests involving homicide are expedited; results will be out in one or two days at most."

"By then, whether it involves you or not doesn’t matter. If you really feel disadvantaged losing a little blood, I can have the criminal investigation team buy you some supplements."

"No! Impossible! I won’t go!"

Peng Yuanqing immediately wore a wary expression.

Chen Xiao smiled.

If he remained calm, Chen Xiao might actually dispel his doubts.

But his opposition clearly indicated he was hiding something.

Moreover, matters could not be deemed impossible just because Peng Yuanqing said so.

Chen Xiao thought for a moment and said, "Do you know what Li Jindao used to do?"

"Of course I know."

"On my way to find you, I’ve already had people from the criminal investigation team go to find him, and they will also inform Li Jindao that I’ve come to see you."

Peng Yuanqing’s face changed again.

Chen Xiao was about to finish him while he’s down!

He knew that Peng Yuanqing’s eagerness towards the Li Family was not because they were easy to talk to, but because they wanted the child in Lian Yuhong’s womb.

And Peng Yuanqing knew very well that if there were issues with the child, and according to his understanding of Li Jindao, he would be terrified.

"What’s wrong with you? Does your reaction imply the child is...?"

Chen Xiao appropriately stopped short, and Peng Yuanqing almost screamed without hesitation:

"Nonsense, the child isn’t mine, how could it be mine, Li Xi is with her every day, I just..."

Chen Xiao squinted his eyes suddenly.

The feeling when suspects and personal admissions don’t match is entirely different.

When suspecting, Chen Xiao felt a turmoil in his heart, but hearing Peng Yuanqing say it personally made him deeply realize how disgusting a vile person could be!

"You ’just’ what with her!"

Chen Xiao snapped.

Peng Yuanqing, who was justifying himself, immediately stopped speaking, staring at Chen Xiao in shock.

Understanding the situation, Peng Yuanqing hurriedly said, "I didn’t do anything with her, don’t slander me!"

"Once the test results are out, we’ll know if it’s slander, but do you dare undergo the test now?"

"I bet when the results come out, Li Jindao will skin you alive!"

A "bang" was heard.

Peng Yuanqing rolled his eyes and slumped onto the chair.

Chen Xiao stepped forward and yanked him up.

But Peng Yuanqing kept his eyes shut, as if really unconscious.

Chen Xiao sneered, "If you faint, it’s even better; it saves you from struggling during the blood draw. Rest assured, the results won’t be announced at the criminal investigation team, you’ll be informed by phone. I hope you can get to the team quickly then, or Li Jindao will definitely tear you apart."

Suddenly, Peng Yuanqing opened his eyes and fell to his knees with a thud. 𝒇𝙧𝙚𝓮𝙬𝙚𝓫𝒏𝓸𝓿𝓮𝒍.𝓬𝙤𝓶

"Please, I’m begging you!"

"Don’t let me encounter Li Jindao!"

"He’s a madman; if he finds out about those things, he’ll kill me for sure!"

"I’m asking the police for protection; you must protect me!"

"I’m not human, I shouldn’t have had those filthy thoughts, nor should I have kept threatening her. I confess... please don’t let me meet Li Jindao, he really will kill me!"

When Peng Yuanqing knelt and pleaded, it meant there was indeed a problem with the child in Lian Yuhong’s womb.

But who the child belonged to, no one could be sure until the test results came out!

Chen Xiao took out his phone, "Did you hear that?"

"Yes, I’ll have someone sent over." Qin Fei replied, then added, "Even though I’ve witnessed much evil and darkness, this kind of shamelessness really makes one want to vomit."

Peng Yuanqing mistakenly thought Chen Xiao was calling Li Jindao.

He constantly pleaded into the phone, "Father-in-law, let me explain, it’s my fault. Brother Dao, don’t worry, I’ll return the house and the store, I don’t want anything, just have mercy and spare me!"

Chen Xiao couldn’t take it anymore and kicked him to the ground.

"This is my call with Captain Qin, not Li Jindao."

Peng Yuanqing was stunned for a moment, then furiously yelled, "You tricked me! You didn’t even talk to Li Jindao, did you!"

Unable to tolerate his temper, Chen Xiao stepped on his head and threw the consultant badge in front of Peng Yuanqing’s eyes.

"Do you believe I can drop my role as a police representative anytime? Whether I trick you or not, I came to your face, do you think you can still escape?"

Peng Yuanqing cried out in pain.

Chen Xiao coldly demanded again, "Peng Yuanqing, what exactly happened to Lian Yuhong’s death!"

Chen Xiao didn’t believe Peng Yuanqing drove Lian Yuhong to death.

He asked to probe and get Peng Yuanqing to confess his dealings with Lian Yuhong.

"I can swear by anything, her death had nothing to do with me!"

"She hanged herself; I don’t even know why she’d take it so hard! If she didn’t say, and I didn’t say, no one from the Li Family would know. Besides, she wasn’t a saint either, saints don’t do that kind of work, right?"

"I just figured since she was getting married anyway, I might as well drug her a bit... not wasted..."

"For f**k’s sake!"

Chen Xiao couldn’t take it anymore and kicked Peng Yuanqing into unconsciousness.

Qin Fei expressed concern over the phone: "Is he okay?"

"He just passed out, a couple of slaps and he’s awake... whew." Chen Xiao exhaled and then calmly said:

"The possibility of Lian Yuhong being driven to death is increasing, but Peng Yuanqing is right, he doesn’t need to drive her to death. If nothing else, Li Xi or his parents might have accidentally discovered this."

"Yes, but we’ve investigated Li Jindao, if he knew, he wouldn’t let Peng Yuanqing go."

"Yes, but if not Li Jindao, then it could only be Li Xi and..."

Before Chen Xiao could finish speaking, he suddenly looked behind him.

No one was there, but the phone reminded him of another caller. Chen Xiao quickly answered the new call; it was Xiaoji calling!

"Hey, Brother Chen, Li Jindao just came by; he’s panicking now... he’s about to drive away!"
