The next day, Lin Zhaonan returned and reported that they had found the man in the black T-shirt who Jiang Tongtong had mentioned.

Lin Zhaonan began by asking Lin Gantang if she had discussed this matter with Wen Yanqing.

Lin Gantang nodded.

In that case, it made sense. Lin Zhaonan thought to himself and explained, โ€œThe previous incident wasnโ€™t easy to prosecute due to lack of evidence. However, coincidentally, someone reported Zhou Zhengwei for a hit-and-run three years ago and for causing serious injury in a recent brawl.โ€

How could there be so many coincidences? Lin Zhaonan guessed that Wen Yanqing had done something behind his back, but he didnโ€™t have any evidence, so he didnโ€™t say it.

โ€œHas the case been transferred to the police station?โ€ Mr. Lin asked.

โ€œYes, the victimโ€™s family has filed a lawsuit. Zhou Zhengwei confessed,โ€ Lin Zhaonan explained. โ€œHe also admitted to his involvement in the incident at Qinghe Manor. He did indeed intend to push Jiang Tongtong into the water that day, but he didnโ€™t anticipate your involvement.โ€

โ€œDid he have a conflict with Jiang Tongtong?โ€ Lin Gantang was puzzled. Jiang Tongtongโ€™s personality didnโ€™t seem like the type to provoke enemies. She couldnโ€™t understand why someone would want to harm her.

โ€œAfter Zhou Zhengwei was apprehended, the other three people who were present were scared and confessed everything. They stated that they had intended to scare Jiang Tongtong by threatening her that day, but they didnโ€™t expect Zhou Zhengwei to take it to the level of causing harm.โ€

Given Zhou Zhengweiโ€™s track record, it wasnโ€™t surprising that he could resort to such actions.

Mr. Linโ€™s face darkened almost to the point of squeezing water out. โ€œWho was behind this? Did that Zhou guy admit to it?โ€

โ€œAt first, he was reluctant to talk, but he eventually confessed that Hou Xiaoai had asked him to help intimidate Jiang Tongtong. Zhou Zhengwei had a liking for Hou Xiaoai. He decided to eliminate anyone who bothered Hou Xiaoai and thatโ€™s why he contemplated the idea of getting rid of Jiang Tongtong,โ€ Lin Zhaonan explained, then turned to Jiang Tongtong. โ€œTongtong, do you know Hou Xiaoai? Have you had any conflicts with her?โ€

Jiang Tongtong looked aggrieved.

Her eyes turned red. โ€œWhy are you asking me? Donโ€™t you know that Hou Xiaoai used to pursue you?โ€

Lin Zhaonan was speechless. After a pause, he asked, โ€œโ€ฆIs that true?โ€

Jiang Tongtong turned away and remained silent.

Young people could be irrational when it came to love, even going to extreme measures. Hou Xiaoai despised Jiang Tongtong, and her jealousy almost took Jiang Tongtongโ€™s life.

Mr. Lin contemplated the situation. โ€œWhat do you plan to do about Hou Xiaoai? Someone like her might harm Tongtong again.โ€

Lin Zhaonan glanced at Jiang Tongtong before responding, โ€œIt seems that Zhou Zhengweiโ€™s actions were influenced by Hou Xiaoai, and he acted to defend her.โ€

โ€œInstigating others to commit crimes is already a legal violation,โ€ Mr. Lin concluded. โ€œThe act of pushing someone into the water was Zhou Zhengweiโ€™s own decision. We might not be able to hold Hou Xiaoai accountable for that. However, her involvement in causing serious injury is something the police can investigate.โ€

At this point, Jiang Tongtong turned back and hesitated before speaking, โ€œDad, 1 think itโ€™s better to let it go. Hou Xiaoaiโ€™s father, Hou Shizhen, is the CEO of Suiyuan Company. The social circles in C City are small, and we might have to interact with them in business in the future.โ€

Jiang Tongtongโ€™s perspective was to downplay the issue, but Mr. Lin disagreed. He said firmly, โ€œIโ€™ve worked hard for many years to build up our family fortune and establish our reputation. Whatโ€™s it all for? Itโ€™s so that you can have a good life without suffering injustices! If we choose not to do business, then so be it. Swallowing our pride is not in my character!โ€

Jiang Tongtong fell silent.

Lin Mingzhuo decided to entrust the matter to the legal system.

Hou Shizhen had been married twice. His first wife had passed away, leaving behind two sons. When his current wife married him, she brought along a daughter and changed her last name to Hou Xiaoai. Although she was a stepdaughter, the family treated her well.

When Hou Xiaoai learned that Zhou Zhengwei had been arrested, her constant anxiety caught the attention of Hou Shizhen..
