Chapter 516: There’s Always Someone Better Than You
The Gu family did not get any information about the autopsy. Instead, the police made new progress. According to their sources, Gu Ziling’s uncle had actually met with the victim recently.
With this, the police summoned Gu Ziling’s uncle immediately for questioning. However, the man was as stubborn as a mule. He did not cooperate at all.
Not only that, the Gu family declined all visits.
“This family is so troublesome.” The professor was annoyed.
“That scum is already a suspect. How could he be so arrogant still?” Feng Shanshan was puzzled.
“Even if he is a suspect, the police cannot force him to cooperate. He has his own legal rights,” Mu Qiqi explained, “But since the family does not value human lives, I think we can use some means to force them to cooperate. The Gu family is facing a crisis now, if they don’t cooperate with the police, we can just publicize it. The Gu family want their face very badly, I’m sure they will yield eventually.”
“Are you sure this will work?”
“Of course. We should not threaten them directly. The police must show their helplessness in this case.”
Feng Shanshan nodded and looked at the professor. “What do you think?”
“I’ll talk to the team leader.” The professor got up and went into the office of the police officers. Later, when he came back, he said, “They have already done so.”
This method would surely work. After all, the Gu family still wanted their face. For the sake of the company, Mama Gu could only hand over her brother to the police. After all, she could not sacrifice the whole family because of her troublesome brother.
However, it was impossible for her to ignore her brother, so she called Gu Ziling. She asked Gu Ziling to help him.
After Gu Ziling heard that her uncle was captured by the police, she asked permission from Grandpa Sheng to go to bail her uncle out of the police office. Although Grandpa Sheng did not want to get involved with the matters of the Gu family, he could not stop Gu Ziling from doing so. He was Gu Ziling’s uncle after all.
Gu Ziling did not go alone. She went to the police station with two bodyguards. When they arrived at the entrance of the police station, the police were interrogating her uncle.
“Qiqi, the Gu family have come. Can you help me deal with them?” Mu Qiqi’s seniors went to the forensic laboratory and asked Mu Qiqi.
Mu Qiqi nodded and took off the white gloves. “Right away.”
“I will go with you.”
After hearing about the charity dinner, Feng Shanshan wanted very much to see how Mu Qiqi had fought with Gu Ziling. She was humiliated by Gu Ziling several times before. Now that it was Mu Qiqi who was going to fight, she bet Gu Ziling would not be able to humiliate her.
Then, they went to the entrance of the police station. Once Gu Ziling saw Mu Qiqi, she wanted to slap her. However, the police officer who was standing beside her grabbed her wrist.
“This is the police station. You want to beat people here. Are you planning on getting into the detention cell right away?”
Gu Ziling glared at Mu Qiqi with her red eyes. “Is it your idea to make the police capture my uncle this way?”
“It is only natural for the police to investigate the case. Now that your uncle is the suspect, of course he will be summoned for the investigation. Don’t you know cooperating with the police is his most basic obligation as a suspect? What is it that you are dissatisfied with?” Mu Qiqi crossed her arms on her chest and confronted Gu Ziling confidently.
“What does it have to do with my uncle when that woman died outside?”
“This woman was once your aunt. Aren’t you clear of your uncle’s character? A big spender, a gambler, a heartless man. You used to address this woman as your aunt. Now that she is dead and her body was still in there, won’t you fear that she would hear what you say and look for you at night?”
Gu Ziling was stunned.
“Release my uncle.”
“The police did not arrest your uncle. They are just asking for his cooperation,” Mu Qiqi emphasized. “Don’t think that you can do whatever you like with your money. I am richer than you, you know. Do you think you can barge into the police station with your bodyguards? I thought you were brainless and vicious the last time I saw you. Sure enough, you never disappoint me.”
“You…”
“You want to see your uncle, right? Wait outside. When the interrogation is over, he can just leave.” Having said that, Mu Qiqi pointed at the bench near the door. “You can sit there.”
“Mu Qiqi, you are abusing your power for revenge!”
“First of all, I am just an assistant of the forensic doctor. Summoning and interrogating the suspect is never my job. Besides, I never made your uncle do all those evil deeds. You should not say that I am abusing my power.” Mu Qiqi made a cold remark. “Besides, you are not even qualified to be my enemy.”
Feng Shanshan felt extremely satisfied when she saw Gu Ziling’s face.
She did not expect that Mu Qiqi, who was always unwilling to talk to anyone, was such a debater.
More unexpectedly, Gu Ziling, who was always so arrogant in Sheng Mansion, was so helpless when facing Mu Qiqi.
There’s indeed always someone better than you in anything.
To prevent Gu Ziling from making trouble in the police station, Mu Qiqi sat in the lobby to keep an eye on her.
Gu Ziling was helpless and so she sat on the bench. She knew she could just simply do nothing. So, she made a call to Sheng Kai. At times like this, she could only rely on this man although he had betrayed her.
Sheng Kai was surprised to receive a call from his wife.
Gu Ziling explained the whole situation to him and pleaded for help.
“I will bring my lawyer with me. Make sure your uncle says nothing before we come.”
“But the interrogation started an hour ago,” Gu Ziling said.
“Just wait.”
Sheng Kai hung up the call and let his new secretary inform the lawyer.
Meanwhile, Mu Qiqi let Feng Shanshan reminded the police to work fast. Once the lawyer came, they would not be able to do anything.
“It’s almost done.” Feng Shanshan told Mu Qiqi. “He was literally a scumbag. They are making the final transcript now.”
Sheng Kai reacted fast. He arrived at the police station in just half an hour. He even brought along his lawyer and secretary. It was a spectacular view when they arrived.
When Gu Ziling saw Sheng Kai, she knew. Regardless of what he did wrong previously, his willingness to help showed that he cared for her.
“Kai.”
“Where’s your uncle?”
“Still inside.” Gu Ziling pointed at Mu Qiqi with her chin. Her action hinted at Mu Qiqi’s role being here.
Sheng Kai glanced at Gu Ziling and walked toward Mu Qiqi. “Long time no see.”
“Indeed,” Mu Qiqi replied, “It’s such an honor to see CEO Sheng come to our police station in person.”
“We’re a family. Must you treat your second sister-in-law this way?”
“You still think we are a family?” Mu Qiqi smirked and asked Sheng Kai.
