Chapter 892 - 894: 2 Difficult Situations
"I think you could try to find Zheng Qiang. Isn’t he Zheng Peng’s brother? He must be able to coax something out of him. I believe Zheng Qiang is still quite upright and he will definitely help you," Dean Qian suggested.
In fact, Xiao Yifei had thought about seeking help from Zheng Qiang before, but he felt that it wasn’t quite appropriate. After all, they are blood brothers, and many things lose their significance in the face of family ties. For example, Zheng Qiang’s upright character—while Xiao Yifei doesn’t deny that Zheng Qiang is a good person, he also can’t be sure of what choice Zheng Qiang would make in this situation.
Xiao Yifei had long regarded Zheng Qiang as a friend. He was the only one who helped Xiao Yifei when he first arrived at this hospital. Although they don’t interact much in daily life and seldom chat, Xiao Yifei knows that Zheng Qiang also considers him a friend. As the saying goes, "The friendship of a gentleman is as light as water," and he feels there’s a hint of that between himself and Zheng Qiang.
So he wasn’t willing to trouble Zheng Qiang, because they were friends and he didn’t want to put a friend in a difficult position.
However, if he didn’t seek Zheng Qiang’s help, there seemed to be no other way to find evidence against Zheng Peng. Xiao Yifei thought, this is really troublesome. If he had known, he shouldn’t have shown mercy to Zheng Peng in the first place. Back then, he thought Zheng Peng hadn’t caused him much harm, so he didn’t pursue the matter further.
He didn’t expect it to leave him such a big problem. Before, when watching costume dramas, the bad guys would be completely eradicated, implicating even their whole families. Xiao Yifei used to think ancient people were too ruthless, not valuing human lives.
After experiencing this, Xiao Yifei suddenly felt that the actions taken in television were correct. Nothing is more important than one’s life. Who knows what those bad people will do in the future, just like how Zheng Peng is now treating Xiao Yifei. Now, Xiao Yifei regrets having been lenient with Zheng Peng back then.
Xiao Yifei pondered all this on his way back to his office. Clearing his name might seem easy to say but is actually difficult to execute. After all, all the evidence the police found pointed towards Xiao Yifei.
