The old policeman shrugged and then stepped aside.

Through the observation window on the door, Jiang Che could see the entire interior of the room.

The room wasn't very big, and there was an iron bar in the middle, with Zhang Yang and Lin Wanwan locked on opposite sides.

At this moment, Zhang Yang was no longer the arrogant and domineering person he had been at school.

His head was wrapped in gauze, and his face was covered in bruises, all from the beating he had just received from Da Biao and his gang.

His hands were handcuffed to the table in front of him. Even though he couldn't move his body, his mouth never stopped, cursing at Lin Wanwan next door.

"Bullshit! Da Biao already told me that a woman called him and sold my whereabouts to him!"

Zhang Yang spat on the ground while cursing.

"Who else but you? Huh? Who else but you knew I was taking people to the hospital?"

"You bitch! You're afraid I won't pay you, so you're trying to squeeze money from both sides, aren't you? How much will you get if you sell me to that bloodsucking Da Biao?"

Lin Wanwan next door wasn't much better off.

Her hair was a mess, her face was covered in tear stains, and her clothes were filthy.

She was also strapped to a chair and unable to move. Hearing Zhang Yang's accusations, she was on the verge of a breakdown.

"Zhang Yang, are you out of your mind?! How could I possibly call Da Biao?"

Lin Wanwan screamed hysterically back, "If I wanted to harm you, would I have gotten arrested along with you?"

"What would I be after? If I were with Da Biao, I would have run away the moment you guys started fighting!"

Zhang Yang simply didn't believe Lin Wanwan's explanation; he was convinced that Lin Wanwan had leaked his whereabouts to Da Biao.

"Stop playing the innocent card! If it weren't for you, how could Da Biao have happened to be there by chance?"

"Besides you, who else knows my whereabouts? Tell me, haven't you been having an affair with that fatso all along, and deliberately set me up?"

If Zhang Yang hadn't been handcuffed and immobilized, given his current impulsiveness and loss of control, he would very likely have rushed over and given Lin Wanwan a good beating on the spot.

Lin Wanwan had already shouted herself hoarse. She was about to be driven crazy by Zhang Yang's pig-headedness. "Is your brain full of shit? We're in the same boat. What good would it do me to sell you out? I was scared to death!"

She simply couldn't understand why Zhang Yang couldn't grasp such a simple logic no matter what.

In the end, Lin Wanwan almost broke down to hysteria, yelling, "Zhang Yang, you're a fucking piece of trash! You couldn't even clean up your own mess and brought in creditors, and now you want to pin the blame on me? Dream on!"

When Jiang Che heard this, his brow furrowed almost imperceptibly.

Da Biao.

On the way to the police station, the young policeman told him this name; he was the general manager of a small loan sharking company in Lincheng.

On the surface, it appears to be a financial company, but in reality, its operation is entirely supported by a series of shady criminal forces operating in the shadows.

Da Biao was a minor leader among this group of criminal gangs.

This man is ruthless and unscrupulous; he specializes in lending money to desperate gamblers.

Jiang Che became somewhat interested. He couldn't understand one thing: Zhang Yang was a second-generation rich kid, so how could he have fallen so low as to borrow money from loan sharks?

Besides, this bastard usually just plays around with women and races. Putting aside whether such entertainment requires the use of loans, even if it does, why not borrow from a regular financial institution like a bank, instead of choosing to provoke someone who lives on the edge?

Unless, of course, blaming Zhang Yang for the loan would prevent him from borrowing money openly and legitimately in a proper place.

Then it becomes clear that Zhang Yang either went to prostitutes, used drugs, or gambled.

However, Jiang Che had no interest in delving into these matters.

What he was more concerned about now was that, judging from what Zhang Yang had just said, Da Biao and his men had ambushed Zhang Yang's group at their retreat point, which was the back gate of the hospital.

This is indeed a bit unbelievable.

Even if Zhang Yang were incredibly stupid, he would know to keep a low profile when it came to something as shady as kidnapping.

Moreover, Zhang Yang has been quite cautious in this matter. From sending people to test the waters last night to using a feint and the fire alarm as a cover this morning, it is clear that Zhang Yang's plan is quite meticulous.

Even under these circumstances, Da Biao was able to lie in ambush at the evacuation point in advance...

Either there was a mole among Zhang Yang's men, or there were other insiders who deliberately tipped him off.

So who delivered the message?

Jiang Che lowered his head and thought for a long time. For a moment, a pale little face inexplicably flashed through his mind.

The thought had barely crossed his mind when Jiang Che dismissed it.

Not to mention that Su Qinghe had no way or opportunity to get to know someone like Da Biao who was involved in the underworld.

Even if she really knew Da Biao, how did she predict Zhang Yang's kidnapping plan?

Unless she's a goddess.

He even claimed to be Qin Shi Huang, which is clearly nonsense.

Jiang Che shook his head, realizing that he had been too tense lately and was seeing threats everywhere.

It seems that Zhang Yang, that idiot, was too flamboyant and made too many enemies, which made him a target for others.

He gradually collected his thoughts, then turned his head to glance at the old policeman next to him.

The old policeman didn't seem to be in a hurry to open the door and go in.

Their eyes met simultaneously in mid-air, and they both understood each other's gaze: to listen a little longer and see if they could glean more useful clues.

Meanwhile, the noise in the interrogation room grew louder and louder, and the two men's argument became clearer.

"I'm a piece of trash? Ha, Lin Wanwan, what are you pretending to be innocent for? How many bags of drugs have you taken from me these past few months? You've spent over ten thousand of my money, and now that things have gone wrong, you want to wash your hands of it?" Zhang Yang roared through gritted teeth.

"I didn't force you to buy it! You were the one who insisted on giving it to me!"

Lin Wanwan wasn't about to back down either. At this moment, she was like a rabid dog, howling hoarsely, "That money was spent voluntarily, what does it have to do with me?"

"Besides, my original plan was for you to defile Su Qinghe in the hospital. But you changed the plan and kidnapped her instead. Now, because of your unilateral actions, everyone has been arrested. Why are you blaming me for this?"

"Bullshit!"

A loud crashing sound of tables and chairs colliding came from inside. Zhang Yang was so excited that he tried to stand up, but was forcibly pulled back down by handcuffs.

"If you hadn't told me that the blind woman was Jiang Che's darling, would I have even thought that kidnapping her would allow me to extort a large sum of money from Jiang Che? Would I have even considered such a crooked idea?"

"I didn't tell you to go to loan sharks! What does your mountain of debt have to do with me? Zhang Yang, if you're even a man, take responsibility for your own actions! What kind of skill is it to drag others down with you!"

Jiang Che, listening from outside the door, shook his head. These two were truly a perfect match. Instead of thinking about how to explain themselves when disaster was imminent, they were comparing who was worse.

The veteran policeman was increasingly speechless as he listened. He snorted and quipped, "If these two were to perform in a Spring Festival Gala skit, would the Gala ever have to worry about ratings?"
