After Yu Zecheng finished speaking, he put down the cup and glanced at Xiaowang who was dozing off beside him. This secret weapon seemed crucial at the moment.

Outside the machinery factory warehouse, Zhang Zuoxin walked out with a serious expression.

Wu Xiaolong and others who had been waiting outside for a long time immediately realized that the progress was not smooth.

"These people held on to the end," Zhang Zuoxin said as he sat down and took a few sips of tea.

"Lin Jian and Lin Yang acted completely indifferent. Even when the evidence was before them, they refused to plead guilty and said it was a work error."

"Guo Shengli is the same. He refuses to confess. I really want to end this with a gun."

Zhang Zuoxin's dissatisfaction was evident in his words, but in fact, as long as they insisted on not telling the truth, the key evidence could not be further investigated.

This is especially true when it comes to work mistakes. Even firing someone for causing losses to the factory is not the most ideal outcome.

Moreover, time is running out, and with the strength of the Lin family, they may interfere in this matter.

"The breakthrough point is still Li Ling."

Chen Youning said affirmatively, and Zhang Zuoxin agreed: "The workers have provided information that proves that Li Ling lied many times."

"Wang Qiang is now leading people to interrogate Li Ling."

Yang Song then interjected: "I think we can do both."

"How?"

As everyone looked over, Yang Song took out relevant information: "Guo Shengwu is an important middleman, and he is involved in more than one matter."

"If we can pry Guo Shengwu into submission, Lin Jian and Lin Yang will not be able to escape."

Zhang Zuoxin nodded: "We have considered this, but they refused to cooperate."

Yang Song lit a cigarette and explained slowly: "The two brothers are of the same mind, but their families may not be of the same mind."

"The security department of the machinery factory naturally has the right to protect the workers and their families."

Chen Youning and Liu Min did not object.

This approach will create a deterrent effect on them and make others afraid.

Some responsibilities cannot be borne by one person alone.

In the interrogation room, Li Ling lowered her head in deep thought. She was uneasy when she heard Yang Song's words:

If you take the initiative to confess and assist in the investigation, you may have a chance to gain meritorious service.

This is the only ray of hope. Otherwise, the consequences of imprisonment would be disastrous. Li Ling was very conflicted:

Admitting the crime means losing your freedom for at least a year. Even if you are released, what else can you do?

What about the rest of the family?

Resist and fight, and keep silent. If you can get through it, the worst that can happen is that you will be fired.

In the struggle between the two, Li Ling was torn and unable to make a decision.

At this moment, a piece of information was thrown in front of her and she was startled.

Wang Hui said in a cold tone: "Look at these materials. Zhai Wenhua and other colleagues have provided testimony about your work fraud. How do you explain it?"

Li Ling remained silent.

Wang Hui looked at her coldly: "You don't want to say anything, do you think that if you hold on to it, it won't work?"

"Based on this material, as well as the items and records found at the scene, it is legally sufficient to prosecute you and potentially send you to prison."

Li Ling's face changed and she began to waver:

A few years or even longer...

Wang Hui continued, "But if we keep investigating, your sentence will be even longer. It will be uncertain whether you can get out again."

As to whether similar situations exist in other factories, this still needs to be confirmed by another person in charge.

However, according to Yang Xiaofeng's intuition, in this case, it was definitely not just the machinery factory that suffered losses.

He thought about this in his mind, but quickly put the idea aside. As long as the key person confessed everything, that would be the most critical breakthrough point.

"I think Xiaofeng's idea is right."

“If production is suspended for a few days, they will definitely become restless.”

Liu Jianhua nodded in agreement: "We are not fighting alone. We must report the situation to our superiors as soon as possible. We will lure the snake out of its hole and wait for their news."

Liang Zijian nodded and went out to make a phone call.

Later, after communicating on the phone, Liang Zijian returned to work, while Yang Xiaofeng carefully reviewed the confessions of Chen Yu and Guo Lei. Although he was not well versed in judicial procedures, Yang Xiaofeng felt that Chen Yu's role in this illegal incident was not the core planner.

But he was aware of and actively participated in illegal activities. Now we need to see Chen Yu's repentance and his contribution to the investigation of the case. Actively admitting and cooperating with the investigation may allow him to win a more lenient treatment.

In the eyes of others, this might just be a strategy to induce criminals to confess, but Yang Xiaofeng wanted to provide Chen Yu with a chance to truly change his ways. Fortunately, Chen Yu did seize this opportunity at the last moment.

After getting the confession, we can submit it to the security department to seek lenient treatment for him.

After Yang Xiaofeng sorted out the documents and put them aside, he closed his eyes and thought. He saw Liu Jianguo and others reviewing various records and account books.

The people checked the data meticulously. Although the time was not long, the relevant information from a certain time point was still intact. They worked hard to calculate the data of false reports and consumables differences.

Taking all this into consideration, Yang Xiaofeng felt that it was unnecessary to go through such a tedious process and that it would be more convenient to use the total loss rate to calculate directly. However, he still chose to watch them work quietly to increase everyone's sense of responsibility.

At eight o'clock in the evening, he stood up and said to everyone, "I want to take Chen Yu out for a while!"

Everyone stopped working and looked at him. How could a suspect like Chen Yu, who was involved in a major case, be taken away at will?

Liu Jianping looked at Yang Mingyang, exchanged glances and finally nodded in agreement. He reminded them to pay attention to safety and asked the security personnel to escort them.

"Okay, I understand." Yang Xiaofeng took Chen Yu out of the office.

In the interrogation room, Chen Yu sat in a corner in a depressed mood, his mind was in a mess, he felt helpless and hopeless about the future, and his family and personal future were in doubt. Suddenly he heard the door open, and looked up to see Yang Xiaofeng walking in.

In an instant, complex thoughts flooded my mind.

He wiped the tears from his face, barely stood up and greeted: "You're here!"

"Yeah." Yang Xiaofeng responded calmly, walked over, took out a cigarette and handed it to him.

After taking a deep puff of the cigarette, Chen Yu began to reflect on his past mistakes and realized that comparing himself with Yang Xiaofeng was the worst thing to do. It was indeed not appropriate to compare some people with each other, and forcing a competition would only result in both sides being hurt.

After he calmed down, the two set off together. On the way, Yang Xiaofeng told him that he had to visit a few important friends. Li Yu was full of contradictions and fears. The words "good brothers, for life" touched Li Yu, and he finally decided to keep the appointment.

Many old friends had gathered at the party, chatting, laughing, and drinking happily. Only Chen Yu seemed unnatural. When everyone was cheering and drinking for the reunion, he suddenly burst into tears. The touching and warm feeling at this moment made him feel deeply guilty.

Liu Wei and others were somewhat puzzled as to what had happened, until Yang Xiaofeng silently helped Chen Yu to relieve his emotions, everyone gradually realized that his pain was not due to a momentary impulse, but rather to reflection and self-blame on the past.
