Long Liu pressed down on Lin Qiang and scolded through gritted teeth, “You b*stard, I just turned around and you want to kill Miss Ding Yao with a dagger?”

Lin Qiang was stunned. “You misunderstood, I didn’t…” Before he could finish his sentence, Long Liu stepped on his chest and secretly exerted force. Lin Qiang’s face instantly turned livid and he could no longer speak. When the other men saw how strong Long San and Long Liu were, they quickly scattered and ran.

Long Liu shouted at Long San, “San, catch them and don’t let them escape. These people are in cahoots. They’re fighting here deliberately, as a cover to kill Miss Ding Yao!”

Ding Yao laughed in her heart. She didn’t expect that a decent person like General Long Zhanyuan would have subordinates who employ such underhanded methods. They couldn’t find any evidence for Lin Qiang’s actions along the way to the capital, so they pinned a crime on him. The other men didn’t know why Lin Hu wanted Ding Yao dead, but Lin Qiang might.

Wen Jiang and Xu Zhizhi were scared, and the sky was dark, so they didn’t see clearly what happened. When they saw Lin Qiang being stepped on by Long Liu, Wen Jiang asked anxiously, “What on earth is going on?”

Ding Yao pointed at Lin Qiang and explained with a terrified expression, “Uncle… This person… was going to stab me… Fortunately, Brother Long Liu found out and saved my life.”

Actually, Wen Jiang had heard Long Liu’s words, but he still asked in disbelief, “Lin Qiang… Why would he want to kill you?”

Ding Yao shook her head. “I don’t know… Maybe we’ll find out when we get to the police station.”

Long San subdued all the men who didn’t manage to escape in time. They were all tied up and thrown on the ground. At this time, another five or six people arrived on horses and took those would had been subdued onto the carriage.

Wen Jiang and Xu Zhizhi were still in shock. They couldn’t figure it out. Didn’t they say that those who came to kill Ding Yao wanted to take revenge on Song Xiuyan? How did it become that Lin Qiang wanted to kill her? They entered the capital and went straight to the police station. The men who had started the fight were also brought to the police station. When they heard that the case involved General Long Zhanyuan’s people, the police department took it very seriously and quickly sent people to interrogate them.

Long Liu and Long San told the police what happened. They said that they were working in the suburbs of the capital and saw two groups of people fighting, so they went up to stop them. They didn’t expect that they would accidentally save Ding Yao. They even highlighted that Ding Yao was Song Xiuyan’s fiancée and that Song Xiuyan was the young man who saved General Long Zhanyuan. They had visited Song Xiuyan’s home before, so they recognized Ding Yao.

Next, the police took statements from Wen Jiang, Xu Zhizhi, and Ding Yao. Why they came to the capital, dangerous situations they encountered along the way, and so on. All three statements matched up.

Then, the men who were fighting were interrogated. Two of them could not withstand the interrogation and quickly confessed. Those men who were fighting were paid to create a smokescreen while they execute their mission to kill Ding Yao. The men who set the fire and poisoned the food also confessed. They said that they were just gangsters who were paid to do these jobs; they had no idea who the mastermind was.

Lin Qiang was the last one to be interrogated. The police asked him, “Why do you want to kill Ding Yao?”

Lin Qiang had already been interrogated by Long Liu while he was on the horse. Long Liu’s methods were much more effective than those of the police department. There was no blood or injuries, but his entire body felt uncomfortable, as if he had been bitten by something. It was an awful feeling and unless he was made of iron, he couldn’t withstand the torture. Lin Qiang had told Long Liu everything he knew. His heart was dead now and he told the police the same thing when asked again.

Lin Qiang was one of Lin Hu’s confidants. Last time when Lin Hu returned to the countryside, he did not go back with him. This was a special assignment given to him by Lin Hu, which was to go to the countryside to pick up his relatives. But Lin Qiang must work with Lin Hu’s other people on their way to the capital and let Ding Yao have an accident on the road so she wouldn’t reach the capital. This was because Ding Yao’s maternal grandparents had heard that Ding Yao had become a mute and had married a poor country boy. They felt extremely guilty towards this granddaughter of theirs, so they wanted Ding Yao to come to the capital and give her some things as compensation. Lin Hu did not want to split his family assets with others but he knew that his parents had made up their minds, so he thought of this sinister method. In order not to arouse his parents’ suspicion, Lin Hu reminded Lin Qiang repeatedly to make it look like an accident, or it would look like someone was taking revenge. Lin Hu also promised Lin Qiang that once the assignment was completed, he would reward him with a large sum of money.
