Chapter 2062: You Set Me Up

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation  Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

“Miss Sze, tell them to let me go! I really didn’t hire a murderer to kill you. I just saw you from afar, liked you, and wanted to marry you. Isn’t it obvious that I didn’t know you already had a fiancé? If you want to blame someone, blame your mother. She was the one who told me that you didn’t have a boyfriend and also promised to let me marry you! Think about it this way. I might have my own company and be a boss, but my money didn’t grow on trees, did it? If I really wanted to kill you, why would I give your family hundreds of thousands in betrothal gifts in advance? It’s not like I have that much money to burn.”

Seeing that all people across him remain silent, Li Qiongan continued to explain. “You really wronged me today when you said that I was breaking up the military marriage. I think marriage is a matter of mutual consent. If I knew you had a fiance, I would never have tried anything, especially as your fiance is an officer. Don’t they say that ignorance means innocence? I really didn’t know that you had a fiance who was an officer!

“As for my company’s financial accounts, they suddenly decreased. I asked my son about this, and he only said that he was short of money. You also know that children are difficult to manage these days. You and your mother are both stubborn, right? My son is the same. He’s a money-hungry prodigal son! When he’s short of money, he comes to me. When he has enough, he ignores me. I really didn’t know that he took this money to do something illegal. So, I’m begging you to tell your friends to let me go!”

The prison guard walked over and handed the files given to him by the Investigation Department to Wu Jingzhong.

Wu Jingzhong took the files and looked at them. Then, he ordered, “Bring his son and daughter-in-law here.”

“Yes.”

Soon, Li Qiongan’s son, Li Detian, and his daughter-in-law, Lai Meiling, were brought in.

Because Li Detian and Lai Meiling had been found to be related to the murder, their faces had turned completely ashen. It was a completely different expression from Li Qiongan’s.

When the three people’s faces were compared, the Wu family knew that Li Qiongan probably really did not know anything.

“Li Detian,” Wu Jingzhong called out.

Li Detian looked at Wu Jingzhong, who was speaking, and his expression instantly became even uglier.

Because he had also seen Wu Jingzhong on the television news.

His lips trembled as he said to Wu Jingzhong, “Y-y-you’re the governor of Sea District!!!”

Other than having seen Sze Lingyun in a photo before, Lai Meiling did not know anyone sitting across from her. Hearing Li Detian’s words, her face was instantly filled with panic.

She did not understand why she was being exposed for attempting to kill an unknown girl from a poor family, especially when she had been so sneaky about it.

Moreover, why was the governor personally interrogating this case?

Wu Jingzhong glanced at Li Detian and said coldly, “Yes, I’m the governor of Sea District, Wu Jingzhong. and the girl you hired to assassinate, Sze Lingyun, is my daughter.”

Afraid that the other party did not understand what his daughter meant, Wu Jingzhong, who had just become a father, couldn’t help but add proudly…

“My biological daughter!”

Li Detian, “…”

Lai Meiling, “…”

Li Detian then jumped three feet high and punched Lai Meiling in the face with his handcuffed fist.

“B*tch! You b*tch! You set me up! You actually set me up! Didn’t you say that Sze Lingyun was a penniless wretch and that even if I killed her, no one would know?”
