Huo Shaoheng's words were like a heavy hammer that hit Chen Lie so hard he almost fainted.
He rubbed his forehead with his hand, his heart heavy.
He couldn't figure out why Ye Zitan would do this …
"Huo Shao, you really want me to ask her?" Chen Lie put down his hand and asked woodenly.
He really couldn't figure it out, so he had to ask her personally.
What if Ye Zitan told him that she was innocent?
Chen Lie went to the Department of Discipline's building with this one-in-a-million hope and went to see Ye Zitan with Huo Shaoheng.
He had just been released from this building in the morning.
The place where the suspects were held was about the same size as the solitary confinement room, but it had an extra bed, a table, and a chair, as well as a small bathroom with a toilet.
The conditions were about the same as a single person's cell.
But no matter how good the conditions were, it was still a cell, and most people wouldn't want to live there.
Chen Lie came to the interrogation room and sat down.
The interrogation room here was different from a normal one. The entire square room was separated by a transparent glass wall in the middle of the room.
He sat on one side, and Ye Zitan sat on the other.
As soon as Ye Zitan saw him enter, she immediately stood up and leaned forward. She leaned against the glass wall and asked nervously, "Doctor Chen! What the hell is going on?! Please save me! "
The glass wall actually wasn't soundproof. Of course, perhaps there was a loudspeaker, but the two of them didn't need a receiver or headphones to speak clearly.
Chen Lie looked at her sorrowfully and didn't understand how all of this had happened.
Ye Zitan's beautiful oval face was already very haggard. Her hair was messy, and her clothes, which used to be neat and tidy, were full of wrinkles.
She leaned against the glass wall, her beautiful eyes unblinking as she looked at him, full of pleading and longing.
In Chen Lie's memory, this was the first time Ye Zitan had looked at him so intently and passionately …
He looked back at her, his eyes full of sorrow and despair, as well as deep confusion and guilt.
"Doctor … Ye, I also want to ask you, what did Nianzhi do to you that you would harm her like this?" Chen Lie exhaled deeply and asked his biggest question directly.
Ye Zitan was caught off guard and couldn't hide the expression on her face in time. She took a step back in shock, her eyes flashing as she looked elsewhere. After a while, she mumbled, "Dr. Chen, I don't understand what you mean."
Chen Lie had a crush on Ye Zitan for many years and knew her every move by heart.
The series of small, unconscious movements just now had not escaped Chen Lie's eyes.
The last shred of hope in Chen Lie's heart disappeared.
He had originally thought that if there was even the slightest possibility that Ye Zitan had been framed, even if it meant breaking ties with Huo Shao, he would fight for her innocence to the end …
But Ye Zitan didn't have time to hide her shock and dodge, so she exposed herself.
If she didn't have a guilty conscience, why was she avoiding his gaze?
If she didn't have a guilty conscience, why would she retreat in shock?
Chen Lie looked at Ye Zitan, his eyes gradually turning red. He took a step forward and placed both hands on the glass wall. With a thick nasal voice, he asked, "Why? You tell me why?! You betrayed Huo Shao. Even if you let your brother down, I will still go against my conscience and speak up for you. But Nianzhi … Nianzhi … She's so young and pitiful. How could you have the heart to rub salt into her wounds?! How could you have the heart to collude with outsiders to harm her? What did they offer you?! How dare you do such a thing! "
Ye Zitan hadn't expected Chen Lie, who had always been so submissive and nice to her, to ask such a question. She found it hard to accept his attitude.
How could a person who had a crush on her for so many years ask such a question?
Ye Zitan stared blankly at Chen Lie and asked quietly, "Chen Lie, in your heart, the person you love the most is actually Gu Nianzhi, right?"
Chen Lie: "…"
Motherf * cker!
What nonsense was she spouting?!
Chen Lie slammed his hand against the glass wall and panted. "Ye Zitan, I know you never had me in your heart, but you can't … You can't slander me like this!"
You can choose not to love me, but if you twist my feelings for you like this, it will make me look down on you and myself.
"If the person you love is me, why are you speaking up for others?" Ye Zitan looked at him sadly. "It's not like you don't know the situation I'm in right now. You're my only hope …"
Chen Lie stared blankly at Ye Zitan. Looking at the woman he had a crush on for seven or eight years, he realized he had never really known her.
Not only had she done something wrong, but she also had no intention of repenting.
"Ye Zitan, tell me, why did you do this? Did I not treat you well, or did the Military General Hospital not treat you well, or did Nianzhi not treat you well? " Chen Lie was a very scientific person. Even if it was a complicated and messy relationship, he still tried to analyze it with strict logic and clear reasoning.
Ye Zitan hung her head and said in a panic, "Why did I do this? What did I do? I'm locked up here … "
"You still won't admit it? Your phone is in their hands … "Chen Lie was in a bad mood." Ye Zitan, if you have difficulties … "
Before he could finish, Ye Zitan interrupted him. "That's impossible! There can't be evidence on my phone! "
She had clearly deleted everything …
Chen Lie glared at her and was shocked again. "I didn't even say it was evidence, and you already thought of it? So it really was you. Don't you know that it's useless to delete the evidence? Don't you know the Special Operations Forces' methods? Even if you smashed the chip, they have a way to restore it … "
Ye Zitan shuddered, and fear finally appeared on her face.
She shook her head furiously and retreated step by step until she reached the corner of the wall. When she had nowhere else to go, she hugged her head and knelt down against the wall, sobbing.
"What's the point of crying? I really don't understand! You're not even 30 yet, and you're already a major! I'm writing a report to the military to promote you to lieutenant colonel next year. What's wrong with you?! "Chen Lie ran his fingers through his hair in frustration and paced around the other side of the room.
Turning his head to look at Ye Zitan huddled up against the glass wall, then thinking about Gu Nianzhi lying unconscious on the hospital bed, Chen Lie felt terrible.
Who could accept that the girl he truly loved was a psychopathic person who betrayed her comrades and friends?
But the feelings he had given couldn't be taken back so easily.
He still had feelings for Ye Zitan, but it wasn't beyond reason.
So he was even more heartbroken.
"You still won't tell me? Forget it, what's the point even if you know? Anyway, there are a few conditions. It's either for money or for someone … Dr. Ye, you've never been a vain woman, so it should be for someone. What methods did they use to seduce you? Did you fall for their pretty boy trap? "Chen Lie continued to ask with a blank face.
He knew he wasn't a handsome man and wasn't particularly attractive to women, so he only dared to have a crush on Ye Zitan. He never dared to say it out loud, afraid that if he did, they wouldn't even be friends anymore.
Hearing his words, Ye Zitan raised her head and bit her lip as she looked at Chen Lie, as if his words had struck a nerve.
She widened her eyes and said, "Dr. Chen, you don't have to belittle yourself. With such an outstanding person like you by my side, how could I fall for their pretty boy trap? "
She never liked a man's appearance.
Chen Lie froze. "What do you mean?"
"What do I mean?" Ye Zitan was suddenly angry. She stood up and rushed to the glass wall, waving her fists at Chen Lie on the other side. "You're asking me what I mean?! You're so outstanding! So outstanding! He could perform any kind of surgery with ease! You write so many high-quality papers every year! And so many new treatment patents! Even if I don't eat, drink, or sleep and stay in the lab 24 hours a day, I still can't be half as good as you! "
"You … You … What did you say?!" Chen Lie was so shocked he stuttered.
Ye Zitan's words just now shocked him even more than Huo Shaoheng saying she was a mole.
Ye Zitan actually calmed down after saying what was on her mind.
She ran her fingers through her hair and smiled bitterly. "So Dr. Chen must look down on me?"
She leaned her head against the glass wall and looked straight ahead. She murmured, "I was born in a normal family. I know that people like me have to work very hard to become someone above others. Ever since I was young, while my peers played around, I was doing homework and doing competition questions. When I was in university, my roommates all started to enjoy university life, finding boyfriends and dating. I woke up early every day and returned late to study in the library to fight for more lab time. I worked so hard, and I always got first place. But after I was assigned to the military hospital, I met you, Chen Lie. You're someone I can't surpass no matter how hard I try! "
Chen Lie had never imagined that he was one of the reasons Ye Zitan became a mole!
Chen Lie looked at Ye Zitan with his mouth agape. He couldn't say anything.
Huo Shaoheng's expression darkened. He pushed open the door from the room next door and said to Ye Zitan, "Someone else's excellence is the reason you betrayed your comrade? Ye Zitan, don't blame your mistakes on someone else. "
As soon as she saw Huo Shaoheng, Ye Zitan's earlier anger disappeared.
Her entire body trembled as she slowly slid down the glass wall and knelt on the other side.
"Tell me, what benefits did they promise you? Who was the person who contacted you?" Huo Shaoheng gestured at Chen Lie with his lips to signal for him to leave.
Chen Lie had already gotten all the answers. He didn't want to stay here any longer.
His footsteps were unsteady as he left the interrogation room in a daze.
Huo Shaoheng stood there with his hands behind his back. Zhou Qiyuan pushed the door open, walked in, and began interrogating Ye Zitan.
He had asked her many times over the past few days, but Ye Zitan had gritted her teeth and refused to say anything.
It wasn't until today that Huo Shaoheng had asked Chen Lie to pry open Ye Zitan's defenses.
"Ye Zitan, who contacted you first? How did he come into contact with you? "Zhou Qiyuan began to ask step by step.
However, Ye Zitan was unwilling to answer Zhou Qiyuan's question. She only glanced at Huo Shaoheng and said, "Huo Shao, I'm very sorry that Nianzhi died. The person I owe the most is Nianzhi. "
Huo Shaoheng: "… Who told you Nianzhi died?"
