Time Travel: The Queen's Coronation

Chapter 161 Lure the snake out of its hole

After returning, I thought about it for a long time and ultimately decided to work with Li Youlan. After all, she'd been tracking down Freese for ten years, and I believed she knew Freese's whereabouts better than I did. It was better to team up with her than to search alone without a clue.

"So what? Do you have any evidence?" I asked Li Youlan.

"I only have information but no evidence. The people of Fries are very cautious. They always pass on information orally and never leave any written evidence." Li Youlan said helplessly.

"Fine!"

"How about we use artificial means to break through and turn the people who were bribed by Freis against us?"

"I've gone to see them, but I don't know what exactly Fries threatened them with. They refuse to tell the truth, no matter what. Even if someone does, they won't testify against Fries."

"Three years ago, I was about to persuade someone to defect. The terms were already agreed, but after I returned, he reneged. I suspect that the people who were bribed were all in touch with each other and were acting in concert."

"Will you let me meet your brother?"

"What do you want to know? If you go to see him, it will probably alert Fries. Besides, Blue Forest is in the spotlight, and the media will speculate even more."

"Isn't this a good idea? Since we can't find any breakthroughs right now, why don't we lure the snake out of its hole and make the guilty party reveal their true intentions?"

"That's fine!" Li Youlan instantly became excited.

"And you have to spread the word that you're Deng Yonghao's sister and show how close we are! I'm sure Freis will be losing his temper if he has something to hide!"

"That's great! Let's do as you say!" Li Youlan strongly supported my idea.

The next day, I went to the prison to visit Deng Yonghao. He looked about my age, but much older. His eyes were numb, and his reactions were very slow, like a mindless robot.

"Hello! I am a friend of your sister Li Youlan, my name is Wei Qing!" I picked up the phone and started talking to Deng Yonghao.

"Oh!" Deng Yonghao answered expressionlessly, obviously not caring at all about my purpose.

"Your sister cares about you very much. She has been looking for evidence to clear your name, so please persevere and don't give up on yourself!"

"Oh!" Deng Yonghao still looked half dead.

"I'm the owner of a design studio called Blue Forest. We're facing the same problem as you, being falsely accused of plagiarism by Freese, but we haven't found any evidence. So, I'd like to ask you about what happened back then and see if we can find a way forward."

Deng Yonghao's eyes grew alert upon hearing the name Frese, but he finally said with a helpless smile, "It's useless! It's useless! The Frese Group is despicable and shameless, and the You family is filthy! They'll do anything to achieve their goals! You can't beat them, so I advise you to sell your studio to them as soon as possible to cut your losses!"

"So can you tell me what happened back then? I really need your help! Your sister has never given up on you. She believes in your innocence! She's already a senior executive at Chideng Group and is shining in the design field. She said she's going to bring you out openly and proudly declare you her brother!"

"Really? She really became a senior executive of Chideng? Is it the French Chideng?" Deng Yonghao was very excited, and hope began to appear in his eyes.

"Right! So you have to cheer up too! I've seen your design, it's very imaginative and creative! Freese is a cancer in this industry, let's eradicate it together!"

"But..." Deng Yonghao was still very hesitant.

"Don't hesitate so much. Just tell me exactly what happened back then. We'll handle the rest. If you're innocent, we'll definitely clear your name!"

"I am innocent. I didn't kill anyone! And I didn't plagiarize!" Deng Yonghao stood up and shouted excitedly, but was pushed back into the chair by a prison guard who rushed over.

"So what exactly happened that day? The media is all over the place saying that you hit and killed You Zhixin with your car."

After calming down, Deng Yonghao said, "The Freese Group bribed people in my studio, stole my original design drafts, and falsely accused me of plagiarism. I ultimately lost the case. I refused to give up and wanted to prove my innocence. They directly bribed my studio's accountant to falsify the accounts and reported me to the relevant authorities, accusing me of tax evasion and money laundering. I was then arrested and investigated. After I was released, my studio and my brand were completely destroyed by Freese. I was so angry that I wanted to confront You Zhixin. When I arrived at his villa, I found that his door was open to anyone, and I didn't encounter anyone inside. I entered the villa and saw a terrifying scene! It cast a huge shadow on my heart, and I still have nightmares from time to time!"

After saying this, Deng Yonghao's eyes began to become terrified and his hands began to tremble.

"Calm down!" I comforted Deng Yonghao and helped him calm down.

He kept breathing in and out to calm himself down. After a while, when his emotions had stabilized, he continued, "That, that was all, all blood! The floor, the sofa, and even my shirt were all stained red!"

"Whose blood?"

"You Zhixin's! He, he, he..." Deng Yonghao began to panic again and started stuttering.

"Calm down!" I comforted him again.

"Yes, yes, yes, You Yuanzhou, killed You Zhixin!" Deng Yonghao stuttered out the key points.

"Did you actually see it with your own eyes?"

"Yes! I, I..." Deng Yonghao's hands were shaking more and more violently, and even his body began to shake.

"Calm down first, that thing is over!"

Deng Yonghao took another deep breath, "Yes! After I entered the villa..." When he said this, Deng Yonghao covered his face in pain, and seemed unwilling to recall the painful memory.

"Yonghao! You must believe that you can overcome the fear in your heart! Your sister is still waiting for you outside! You are your parents' pride, don't let them down!"

Deng Yonghao calmed down again and answered, "After I entered the villa, I saw You Zhixin lying on the ground covered in blood. You Yuanzhou's white shirt was also stained red with blood. I..."

Deng Yonghao paused again, and before I could say anything, he adjusted his mood and continued, "I was shocked by the bloody scene. You Yuanzhou saw me chasing after him with a knife, and I ran out quickly. But when I got to the door, I found that the door was locked and I couldn't get out. Finally, I ran to the parking lot of the villa and kept pulling on the car doors to try to find a car that could be driven. Finally, I really found one. As soon as I got in, You Yuanzhou blocked the front of the car. I backed away but hit the wall. You Yuanzhou in front of me was staring at me with a knife and walked towards me step by step. I was very scared and could only go He tried to hit it, but he dodged to the side. I then drove that car and rammed the gate of the villa, but it was unable to start. I then drove away in my own car. Not long after returning home, I was arrested by the police. In court, what You Yuanzhou said was completely inconsistent with what happened at the time. I kept protesting, but it was useless because I had no evidence. Later, You Yuanzhou donated money to my father for surgery. My mother felt guilty about him and persuaded me to apologize to him. I was completely despairing! My biological parents were also bribed by You Yuanzhou! I lost the motivation to live! I am just a walking corpse now!

"I read the report from that year. It said that you brutally hit You Zhixin to death and then slashed his throat with a knife. When You Yuanzhou arrived, You Zhixin was already dead. When the ambulance arrived, You Yuanzhou helplessly hugged You Zhixin and cried."

"When I arrived, You Zhixin was already lying in a pool of blood. Judging from the amount of blood, he must have been dead. So, You Yuanzhou framed me!"

"Did you really not lie to me?"

"I'm already indecently sentenced, do I need to lie to you?"

What Deng Yonghao said is inconsistent with the reports from that year. One of them must be lying. If Deng Yonghao is telling the truth, then there is something seriously wrong with You Yuanzhou!

Afterwards, Li Youlan deliberately let the media photograph her visiting her mother, and the media then discovered that her mother was also Deng Yonghao's mother. The public then knew that Li Youlan and Deng Yonghao were siblings.
