Chapter 1261: 1257

"Oh? Just now you said it was borrowed, and now it’s suddenly yours?"The woman slipped up and almost slapped herself across the face.

"Officer, I’m begging you, my son is still in the hospital waiting for surgery, that’s a human life, you can’t delay it like this."

Seeing they wouldn’t budge, the woman clutched the child and fell to her knees on the floor, crying hoarsely as she pleaded.

"Calm down first. As long as you cooperate with our investigation, Mr. Jiang has said he can choose not to pursue this, and will even pay your medical expenses for you."

The woman froze. She didn’t know who this President Jiang was, but she did know that her son’s medical bills were now covered.

But the money was far more than five hundred thousand...

The woman started to hesitate.

Seeing her wavering, the Police stepped up the pressure.

"If you refuse, once we’ve completed our investigation, we will freeze all assets you’ve obtained illegally. You still have two children; if you are arrested, we will make arrangements for your children."

"What do you mean, where are you going to send my kids?"

"To a welfare home."

That scared the woman out of her wits.

A welfare home—doesn’t that mean an orphanage?

Her children had a mother; why should they be sent to an orphanage?

And prison!

That was something she didn’t even dare to imagine.

Frightened like that, the woman no longer dared to covet that money.

"You... what you said, is it true? If I talk, will that President Jiang really help cover my son’s medical expenses?"

"Yes."

Getting a definite answer, the woman took a deep breath, as if she’d made some momentous decision.

"Fine, I’ll talk. This money, my man brought it back. He said someone came to him, gave him a sum of money, and wanted him to help with something."

At that point, the woman stopped and didn’t go on.

But the Police were never going to let it end there.

"Help with what? Was it to have him on Splendid River Bridge, make that black car crash off the bridge?"

Those words startled the woman; panic flashed across her face.

"I—I don’t really know, I..."

"Ma’am, even though your husband is already gone, it’s only a matter of time before we get the results of our investigation. If you still refuse to come clean, we will resort to special measures."

"I—I’ll talk. I really don’t know much. When he brought the money home, he said he was doing something for someone. I didn’t ask for details. It wasn’t until I saw the news that I realized what he was going to do. Right, with that much money, how could they give it to him so easily? That person was sending him to his death!"

The woman spoke as she covered her face and burst into tears.

"If I’d known, I never would have let him do it. What’s the use of money? He paid with his life. How am I supposed to go on, raising two kids on my own?"

"Do you know who told him to do this?"

"I don’t know, I don’t. He didn’t know either. All he knew was that the other party seemed to be from Kyoto, and said this matter couldn’t be revealed to anyone, otherwise..."

At this point, the woman suddenly stopped, her eyes going wide with terror.

"O-Officer, you have to protect us. If that person finds out, he’ll probably kill the three of us, this widow and her orphans."

The woman was trembling with fear. After spilling so much, if that person found out, there was no way he’d let her off, right?

Someone who could hire a killer was definitely the type to kill without batting an eye!

"Officer, I’ve told you everything. I won’t be in danger, will I?"
