At this time, the police turned the laptop towards Ling Zhenfei, allowing him to see the screen.
On the screen was a very blurry video, filmed from a distance at a corner of the airport. In the video, a person dressed exactly like Ling Zhenfei was forcefully pulling Xu Liang into a car.
Ling Zhenfei was shocked, it was clear in the video that it was Xu Liang, but the other person was somewhat blurry, yet the height and clothing were exactly like Ling Zhenfei's.
Only then did Ling Zhenfei realize that he was being set up by Nangong.
No wonder Nangong had said that from the moment Ling Zhenfei landed, he was already caught in his trap; turns out, the incident on the plane with Xu Liang harassing Song Jiaqi was prearranged by him.
He had beaten up Xu Liang's four people, three of whom ended up with broken legs or arms, but Xu Liang was nowhere to be found. The clear video was absent, yet a blurry figure could be seen taking Xu Liang into a car.
Ling Zhenfei found himself unable to explain everything clearly, and after thinking for a moment, he said, "If there's still a way to explain all this, then it's up to someone else. I left the airport by taxi with Song Jiaqi, the girl who was harassed by Xu Liang."
The police officer carefully took notes, saying, "Alright, we will quickly bring in this Song Jiaqi to confirm things."
Another officer said, "Before we bring in Song Jiaqi, we need your cooperation; you can't leave the police station."
Ling Zhenfei felt quite annoyed, as it meant he was currently detained, and he didn't know how He Lingxiu was doing.
After the police left, Ling Zhenfei immediately wanted to go online to check out the situation, but then two more officers came in.
"Hello, Mr. Ling, we want to discuss some matters with you."
Ling Zhenfei said, "Did your colleagues not already discuss this with me just now?"
The officer said, "You misunderstand, we're here to discuss something else, particularly regarding Du Zhongming. We hope you can cooperate."
Ling Zhenfei was greatly alarmed, "Nangong Changhe, indeed very cunning, using one trap after another. By the time these interrogations are over, who knows what will happen online."
"Could you please tell us what is the relationship between you and Miss He Lingxiu?"
After listening, Ling Zhenfei hesitated, unsure of how to answer, and said, "We are childhood friends; I also taught her Medical Arts."
"Then, Mr. Ling Zhenfei, is Miss He Lingxiu currently working for you?"
Ling Zhenfei said, "What do you mean? Are you trying to trap me or something?"
The officer laughed and said, "We are the police, just answer the questions truthfully. As long as you are honest, there's no trap to fall into."
Ling Zhenfei said, "Can I remain silent and contact my lawyer?"
In fact, Ling Zhenfei didn't know any lawyer; he just felt unclear about these traps and routines, which could lead to trouble if he misspoke.
The officer said, "We're just trying to understand the situation. Why would you need a lawyer unless we officially open a case or go to court? For now, I'm asking, is He Lingxiu working for you?"
Ling Zhenfei thought for a moment and said, "Of course not working for me. He Lingxiu and I were childhood sweethearts and even have a marriage agreement. After we marry, everything will be hers; how could it be a matter of working for someone?"
The officer asked, "So tell me, have you ever paid He Lingxiu a salary?"
Ling Zhenfei laughed coldly, "You're interesting. You give your wife some money, and it's considered a salary? She's my girlfriend. Is it wrong for me to give her money so she can eat well and dress well?"
The two officers then became serious and said, "Ling Zhenfei, be careful. Don't think we don't know it; He Lingxiu has already confessed to working for you."
Ling Zhenfei laughed, "Are you treating me like I'm three years old? Could He Lingxiu really say that?"
Of course, Ling Zhenfei didn't know whether Spiritual Cultivator had said anything. His mind was too occupied to focus on what He Lingxiu had said earlier.
However, Ling Zhenfei knew He Lingxiu was somewhat timid and likely wouldn't speak carelessly. Besides, Ling Zhenfei and He Lingxiu never had an employer-employee relationship.
When He Lingxiu treated patients for Ling Zhenfei, she was learning. It was about learning, including the time she treated Du Zhongming - it was merely for learning.
Seeing that Ling Zhenfei wasn't taking the bait, the police finally moved past this issue and asked, "Then why did He Lingxiu help you treat Du Zhongming?"
Ling Zhenfei replied, "Didn't I tell you? He Lingxiu is my girlfriend, and she learned Medical Arts from me. I didn't have time to help, so my girlfriend treated them. Is there a problem with that? And by the way, she's nicknamed the Little Miracle Doctor online."
The officer said, "If she's the Little Miracle Doctor, how could the patient have died? That suggests her skills are still lacking."
Ling Zhenfei said, "Officer, please be precise with your words. When did she cause anyone's death? Do you have evidence or confirmation? Beware, I might charge you with defamation."
Startled, the officer realized his error and quickly moved on to another question, "The family has already filed a complaint. They initially hired you, Ling Zhenfei, to treat him, but you let someone else do it, and now the person is dead. Think about how to settle this."
Ling Zhenfei said, "If the person has died, then get a forensic examination to determine the cause of death. If it's related to us, come back to us. If not, don't bother us."
The officers exchanged glances and said, "Okay, we'll pause here for now, but I want to remind you, Mr. Ling, that you are an influential figure, and we wouldn't want any trouble occurring here because of you."
Ling Zhenfei said, "I also hope that you enforce the law impartially, not betraying the trust of the people."
The officers left the room, and just as Ling Zhenfei was about to check Weibo, the initial interrogating officers returned, saying, "Mr. Ling, as per your request, we've found the girl who sat beside you on the plane, but unfortunately, she left on her own. She is very grateful for standing up for her, but this does not clear your name; instead, it increases your suspicion."
Hearing this, Ling Zhenfei felt his mind buzz; he finally realized that not only was Xu Liang previously arranged by Nangong Changhe, but even Song Jiaqi, who Xu Liang harassed, was also pre-arranged. But how was that possible? Ling Zhenfei, who considered himself experienced in judging people, should have seen through any act or pretense.
Perhaps Xu Liang harassing Song Jiaqi was a convincing act because he was naturally a thug and played his true character. But Song Jiaqi's reaction at the time did not show any abnormality to Ling Zhenfei, making it strange. Could Song Jiaqi really have such great acting skills?"
