Chapter 308 The Dead Don't Lie
"Silly girl, what are you saying?" Ye Zhenghao sat down on the edge of the bed, gently squeezed Siyi's shoulder, and looked at her pale face as she tried to hold on. He couldn't help but feel sorry for her, and his tone was even more gentle, "How could your brother not believe you? You can tell your brother anything. Don't worry, Siyi, I will definitely not let anything happen to you."
Siyi pursed her lips. With such a good older brother standing completely by her side, she had been in a cold state for the past few hours since the incident. But now, a warm current flowed into her, making her eyes well up with tears. Her voice choked with emotion, "Big brother, thank you."
"Why are you thanking me?" Ye Zhenghao sighed softly, but felt guilty. "It's my fault. I've been by your side all this time, but I still watched helplessly as this happened to you. I still don't know where Beibei is, and there's no news from Jiang Yanhui's side. And now you're in trouble... I'm really useless. Siyi, what do you want me to do for you? Should I go find Jiang Yanhui?"
He thought that the person Siyi most wanted to see right now was him.
Siyi's head throbbed with pain. She pressed her temples, and after a long while, she nodded gently. In front of her older brother, she didn't hide her true feelings. "Brother, I really want to see him, but I don't want him to know what happened to me. But I know I can't hide it from him. I'm afraid he'll worry and panic. Brother, no matter what, you have to help me and keep an eye on him. I'm a suspect now, and I definitely can't leave the police station. Brother, I know you care about me, but please don't feel guilty or blame yourself. I know exactly what happened. I just want you to do me a favor: have Xia Ran take over this case. She's a forensic doctor; she can help me find the truth."
"Xia Ran?" Ye Zhenghao was taken aback, but immediately realized, "That's right, how could I forget her? She's a forensic doctor and your good friend. Yes, I'll go and talk to the higher-ups right away and have her come over. No matter what, Siyi, your brother will definitely save you."
"Thank you, brother." Siyi glanced around; it was just her and Ye Zhenghao in the room. She lowered her voice and said softly, "This incident wasn't accidental. I can't tell you too much here, but brother, you need to go find Yan Hui quickly. I'm afraid he's in danger, and I suspect that Lin Zhenbiao is involved. Brother, you must be careful too!"
She was genuinely terrified when she was at the construction site, but she knew her limits. She had fainted and couldn't do anything then, but now that she was awake, countless clues were flooding her mind. As a lawyer herself, she had handled countless cases. Watching Ying Rui fall before her eyes had certainly thrown her into a panic, but then inexplicably fainting seemed too coincidental. And who was that man? He kept calling Ying Rui "Young Madam," and the timing of his appearance on the top floor of that construction site was so coincidental—it couldn't be a coincidence.
At the very least, how could a perfectly healthy person suddenly slip and fall from a building?
There must be something hidden here. And so far, the thing she knows best is that the dead don't lie. If all of this was planned by Lin Zhenbiao, she thinks he must have already factored in both Jiang Yan Hui and Ye Zheng Hao. Even if they intervene, they might not be able to find the most compelling evidence in the shortest time. Therefore, it's all up to Xia Ran. Fortunately, her elder brother's duties allow him to assign Xia Ran, so it shouldn't be too much of a problem!
Lin, Zhen, Biao!
Ye Zhenghao narrowed his eyes. Five years ago, he knew how ruthless Lin Zhenbiao was. For the past five years, everyone had been operating within a narrow boundary, neither provokering the other. Although he had risen through the ranks, Lin Zhenbiao hadn't made any moves, and with Jiang Yanhui's involvement, he had truly forgotten about him. But it turned out that Lin Zhenbiao was indeed a persistent threat, even when dead!
At this age, he still has to come out and stir up trouble!
So this time, he'll go all the way and settle the score with him from five years ago!

The rain was getting heavier and heavier. This typhoon was obviously coming with great force. It was already past six o'clock in the afternoon, but the visibility on the road was extremely low. Even cars with excellent performance were driving much slower than usual.
The man sitting in the back seat of the car had a calm expression. His jet-black hair fell over his full forehead, with a few strands still dripping water. His shirt and trousers were also soaked by the rain, clinging to his taut body.
Jiang Yanhui's face was as ugly as could be. He clenched his palms tightly, the veins on the back of his hands bulging, and his eyes were as dark and gloomy as those of a demon from the depths of hell.
The son has not been found yet, but Sisi suddenly had an accident. None of this can be a coincidence, it can't be a coincidence, damn it!
He never dreamed that Lin Zhenbiao would go to such lengths. When Lin Zhenbiao pointed the gun at him, he genuinely hadn't intended to shoot. He was just thinking, "Grandpa, if you back down now, if you stop, I'll forgive you." But the thought had barely crossed his mind when Ye Zhenghao stormed in with his men. He told himself, "Sisi is in trouble."
He stared at Lin Zhenbiao in disbelief, but Lin Zhenbiao merely smiled slightly. The unwavering light emanating from Lin Zhenbiao's murky eyes sent his heart plummeting to the bottom in an instant!
At that moment, he realized that everything was just a scheme of his, that he had premeditated it, that he must have premeditated it!
His goal wasn't Beibei, nor was it himself; his goal was Sisi!
"...Although Siyi didn't say anything, I roughly understand the situation. Yingrui invited Siyi out, and she said something to Siyi, but then suddenly fell from the building. You're definitely most familiar with that building; it's your own territory. At that time, there was no one at the construction site, and since the building was still under construction, there were no cameras, let alone any other surveillance. The only eyewitness said that he drove Yingrui to the construction site, so he was waiting there when he heard the arguing and rushed up. But he said that when he got up, he saw Siyi push her off the building. He's the only eyewitness now, and everything is very unfavorable to Siyi, plus we have no leads on Lin Zhenbiao's side."
Ye Zhenghao sat down next to Jiang Yanhui and told her all the information he had gathered so far.
Both men were soaking wet, their short black hair was also wet, but they didn't look disheveled at all. Their brows were tightly furrowed, and they exuded a chill, with the temperature in the vehicle dropping to zero.
"I need to see her first." This was the only sentence Jiang Yan uttered from the moment she got in the car. She remained silent the entire way, not saying a word until they reached the police station. Only then, upon getting out of the car, did she coldly instruct Liu Qi, the driver, "Move everyone here. Keep a 24-hour watch on Lin Zhenbiao. Anyone who approaches without my orders is killed! Continue searching for Bei Bei's whereabouts. He must still be in B City, definitely with her. Notify me immediately of any news about Bei Bei!"
"Yes, President Jiang!" This time, Liu Qi dared not be negligent in the slightest. Having followed Jiang Yan Hui for so long, he knew very well that this was a major upheaval for both the Jiang and Lin families. Although they were all close relatives, judging from the current situation, they were bound to fight to the death. Since he was following Jiang Yan Hui, he would naturally do his best to help her.
Ye Zhenghao listened to Jiang Yanhui's instructions to Liu Qi but remained silent. From his perspective, Jiang Yanhui's approach might not be the most correct. After all, he was a law enforcement officer with a high position and great power. Under normal circumstances, he would certainly have spoken up to stop her. However, in extraordinary times, he could only use extraordinary measures. All he could do was not dishonor his position. His many years in officialdom had taught him that the world was not just black and white; there was also a gray area—
At present, he doesn't mind secretly joining forces with Jiang Yan to use underhanded methods to overturn that completely black area!

When Jiang Yan walked into the room, Si Yi was lying on the table. She looked listless and her complexion was not good. Her long eyelashes hung down quietly, covering all the emotions in her eyes. When she heard the door open and footsteps, she seemed to be startled. When she suddenly raised her eyelids, there was still some panic in her eyes that she could not hide. But the moment she saw the person standing at the door, more grievances welled up.
"Sisi..."
Jiang Yan spoke first. His voice was hoarse, and his deep gaze was fixed on the woman in front of him, who looked so haggard after only a few hours apart. He felt extremely sorry for her.
Actually, I had been standing at the door for quite a while, trying to calm myself down, so when I entered, the hostility on my body and the gloom in my eyes had subsided considerably.
"I'm sorry." He stepped forward and pulled Siyi into his arms, his sensual lips pressing against her cheek, kissing her repeatedly. His deep voice was filled with unconcealed self-reproach and guilt, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, baby, I'm sorry for making you suffer, I'm so sorry..."
He deserves to die; he failed to protect this woman!
He came in, hugged her, and only said, "I'm sorry," but he didn't ask Ying Rui a single question. In that instant, Si Yi was held tightly in his arms—
I burst into tears instantly!
