After dinner, Lu Ye came to the yard to cool off.

Su Mengyao took two pieces of watermelon and handed one to Lu Ye.

Without saying anything, she just stood quietly beside him, eating watermelon.

"Are your family urging you?" Lu Ye asked softly.

"how do you know?"

"Did that big mouth Su Yunjie tell you?" Su Mengyao thought it was her elder brother Su Yunjie who told Lu Ye, and suddenly felt annoyed.

"That's not what he said, that's what I guessed."

Lu Ye smiled and said, "You've been back for such a long time, and you've finished all the things you needed to do. How can your family not be anxious?"

"Fortunately."

Su Mengyao uttered two words softly, and looked at Lu Ye with her beautiful eyes, as if she wanted to say something but hesitated.

"Just say what you want to say. It's not like you to be hesitant."

After hearing what Lu Ye said, Su Mengyao felt that she was a little too cautious. In the past, she said whatever she wanted to say, but not like now.

Su Mengyao straightened her body and then asked softly, "What have you been doing recently? I feel like you are hiding something from us."

Lu Ye chuckled. He had no intention of telling Su Mengyao about these terrible things.

"What can I do? I didn't do anything."

Su Mengyao naturally didn't believe it.

Lu Ye seems to be relaxed every day, but he has to go out for a while every night, and sometimes he looks thoughtful when he is alone.

Su Mengyao knew very well that Lu Ye had something wrong, but he just didn't want to tell her.

"Don't talk about knocking me down."

"Since you have nothing to do, let's go to the provincial capital. It doesn't matter where you stay anyway. If we leave early, we can find a job for you sooner."

"Okay, I have no objection." Lu Ye said softly while chewing the watermelon.

Su Mengyao frowned. She didn't expect Lu Ye to agree so readily.

So he tentatively asked, "Then we'll leave the day after tomorrow?"

"Okay, talk to Qiezi and ask her to pack her things. I also need to cancel the lease with the landlord." Lu Ye said calmly.

Su Mengyao felt a little puzzled when she saw Lu Ye was so happy.

"Are you really alright?"

"Not really."

Lu Ye smiled.

He has basically done everything he wanted to do.

In Lu Ye's opinion, the downfall of the Wang family is now only a matter of time.

It will depend on when the Supervisory Commission is ready to close the net.

Whether he stayed in Hua County or not had no effect on the progress of this matter. Instead of staying here, it would be a good choice to go to the provincial capital with Su Mengyao as soon as possible.

"Okay, then I'll tell Mingzhu later."

-----------------

The next day, Public Security Bureau.

Erlong had a gauze on his head and was sitting on an interrogation chair with his hands handcuffed.

This was the third time he had been brought to trial since he was arrested.

But it was the same three times. Erlong didn't say a word, closed his eyes and rested the whole time, ignored all the questions and didn't answer a single word.

This really made the pre-trial officer very angry.

In the next room, Ma Jun looked at the pre-trial officer who had just returned and asked in a deep voice, "How is it? Still refusing to say anything?"

The pre-trial officer was filled with anger and threw the notebook in his hand onto the table.

"This guy is a seasoned veteran, very familiar with our tactics. He won't say anything when asked. Talking to him about leniency for confessing and severity for resisting is completely useless. I think if we want to pry him open, we have to start somewhere else."

"Where?" Ma Jun asked.

"People like him have done so many bad things. He knows better than the rest of us what will happen to him if he's caught."

"I think it's useless to talk to him about leniency. We should start with what he cares about most, such as family. Many prisoners like them are extremely vicious outside, but they are extremely filial to their families, especially their parents. I want to try again from this aspect." said the pre-trial officer.

Upon hearing this, Ma Jun nodded involuntarily.

"Well, I think you have the right idea."

"The investigators have already figured out Erlong's family relationships. Please take a look."

Ma Jun handed Erlong's latest information to the interrogator.

"It says here that he has a mother, but why doesn't it say where his mother is?"

"Our investigators have also noticed this problem."

Ma Jun shook his head:

"No, the investigators visited Erlong's neighbors and some of his relatives. Strangely, no one knew where Erlong's mother was."

"So strange?" The pre-trial officer looked thoughtful upon hearing this. "If my analysis is correct, the root of his illness must be here!"

"Let's stop here for today. Let's think of a way to find his mother first, maybe we can pry him open his mouth." Ma Jun said after thinking for a moment.

······

The interrogation ended early.

Erlong was taken back to the detention room.

When the door opened, Erlong discovered that there was now one more person in the detention room where he had originally lived alone.

The man half lowered his head, and Erlong glanced at him but couldn't see his appearance clearly.

"Sit over there!" The escorting police pointed at the bench on the other side of the wall and shouted at Erlong.

Erlong moved over and sat down.

Clang.

The big iron door closed, and peace returned to the entire detention room.

Only then did the man slowly look up, and seeing no one outside, he whispered, "Ren Chunfang, bed 18, Xinyuan Nursing Home."

In a simple sentence,

Erlong felt as if he was struck by lightning.

"Who are you? How do you know?" Erlong asked in a deep voice.

The man didn't even look at Erlong and continued, "Young Master Wang asked me to tell you something. It's time for you to repay the Wang family. Don't worry, your mother is doing well! As long as the Wang family is still there, your mother will continue to be well."

Hearing this, Erlong was completely numb!

How could he not understand the meaning of these words!

This is a naked threat!

"Don't touch my mother! It's a fight to the death!" Erlong gritted his teeth and squeezed out a word from between his teeth.

Erlong lost his father at a young age, and his mother raised him with great difficulty by doing odd jobs.

Erlong didn't receive much education and often played with a group of kids older than him. When he was a teenager, he joined them in stealing things, was caught several times, and was even sent to a labor camp.

After being released from prison, Erlong was labeled a labor camp inmate and could not find a job.

So he followed those people to engage in speculation and profiteering.

Once, he was arrested by Wang Changhai, the then captain of the "Vote Office". From then on, Erlong became Wang Changhai's man and worked for him secretly.

Later, Wang Changhai was promoted and Wang Qing became the spokesperson for the Wang family.

Erlong began to follow Wang Qing to work.

With the help of Wang Changhai, Erlong sent his mother to a nursing home.

He originally thought that his mother could enjoy a peaceful life, but he didn't expect that his mother would become a hostage at this moment!

Others may not know what kind of person Wang Qing is, but Erlong, who has been with him for so long, knows it best.

Cruel and vicious, with no humanity at all.

Erlong knew very well that if he didn't agree, his mother would definitely be retaliated by Wang Qing!
