Chapter 1521 - 1514: Epilogue (5)
The ball suddenly kicked over to Zhao Zihuan’s side again, and the police quickly invited him for a "tea talk." He was even more composed than Cai Yiren, and before the police took him away, he even asked, "Could I finish my freshly brewed coffee before we go?"
After receiving a negative answer, he didn’t get angry. He turned around and instructed his assistant, "You’ll take care of the following matters."
Then, calmly adjusting his clothes, he took bold strides to get into the police car and went to the station.
In the interrogation room, he was quite amiable, starting off by giving a detailed account of his own background. He said he was an orphan, adopted by a German couple as a child, ran away once due to abuse, and after being taken back by the orphanage, he was taken in by Director Du of Zhongtian Steel, who also supported his education. When it came to Lu Weixi, he nodded in recognition immediately, declaring that they were good friends and that he was the primary physician for her mother, who had cancer for many years. When asked about his rivalry with Hanhai, he did not deny it: "In the business world, there are no permanent friends, only permanent interests. Hanhai was once our partner, and now that they’re in trouble, it’s naturally good if we can get a share of their business. So at this point in time, it’s accurate to say that we are competitors. This has nothing to do with my friendship with Lu Weixi; personal matters are separate from business."
The interrogator frowned and asked, "Do you know that Lu Weixi has been kidnapped? And that it was your idea?"
Zhao Zihuan was astonished, as if he had heard something inconceivable: "What are you talking about? She’s been kidnapped? When did this happen? I’ve never heard anything about it. Wait, my idea, what do you mean by that?"
The interrogator repeated what Qin Zhizhi had said, and Zhao Zihuan explained, "I did say that, but I was drunk after drinking with him, it was just careless talk. How was I to know he would take it seriously and actually kidnap someone?"
