Seeing how easily Yang Cheng handled the matter, Choi Yeon had mixed feelings. She was moved by her man's decisiveness, but at the same time, she felt that Yang Cheng had stolen her job. As a headstrong person, it was hard for her to accept it.
However, Cai Yan also knew that she couldn't argue with Yang Chen over this matter. It was already rare enough that he was willing to come to the police station to apologize to her with a smile. She couldn't possibly complain to him just because he helped her solve this case and didn't give her a chance to punish the criminal.
So, Cai Yan vented all her negative emotions on Gao Yue, who was in a daze. She called two police officers over and added all the crimes that Gao Yue had committed, then went to print two copies of the confession.
Although Gao Yue's lawyer came, he didn't dare to say anything when he heard that Liu Qingshan had given up on bailing Gao Yue out. He turned around and left with his tail between his legs.
At the end of the day, Gao Yue was just an assistant. It was up to Liu Qingshan to decide whether to bail him out or not.
Without anyone to rely on, Gao Yue could only bite the bullet and sign the confession. However, the hatred in his eyes was terrifying.
Choi Yeon had seen too many criminals cursing their ancestors. If she was a coward, she wouldn't have become a police officer in the first place. After settling all the paperwork, she asked the police officers to bring Gao Yue to the detention center and wait for the court hearing before she ran out of the police station.
Yang Cheng had been waiting at the parking lot for quite some time with a cigarette in his mouth. No one knew what he was thinking as he leaned against the car and stared at the traffic outside the police station in a daze.
Choi Yeon didn't know why Yang Cheng would show such a reserved expression. Ever since she met Yang Cheng, Yang Cheng had always been carefree and shameless. She wasn't used to his sudden gloominess.
Choi Yeon walked up and leaned against the car with Yang Cheng. "Are you having a headache thinking about how to explain to the lady from the Azure Dragon Society?"
"A young lady from the Azure Dragon Society?" Yang Cheng almost didn't react, but then he remembered that Choi Yeon was referring to Liu Mingyu. He shook his head and said with a smile, "What's there to worry about? If Mingyu knows, then tell her the truth. If she doesn't know, then there's no need to say it."
"She's called Liu Mingyu, right? How did you get to know her? I remember that the Azure Dragon Society used to be a gang in Yanjing!" Choi Yeon asked curiously. She really wanted to know how this man could attract peach blossoms everywhere.
Flinging his lips aside, Yang Cheng threw the cigarette butt into the flower bed and replied, "I got to know her in Yu Lei International. They used to be colleagues, but something happened later on, and that's how we are now. Don't think that I'm a hungry wolf that pounced on its prey. It's really because I wasn't careful that I ended up like this. "
"Unknowingly …" Choi Yeon said sourly, "Ruoxi is really something. She actually let you 'unknowingly' fall in love with another woman right under her nose."
"Why is the smell of jealousy so strong?" Yang Cheng laughed, "I didn't expect that our Yeonyeon is such a jealous person."
Choi Yeon rolled her eyes at the man, "Shouldn't I be jealous when I suddenly find out that you have another woman? If I'm obviously jealous and still act very generous, then it's hypocritical."
"As expected of the police chief, you can't rub sand in your eyes." Yang Cheng was a little amused by the woman's straightforwardness. No matter how much time had passed, no matter what her identity had changed, Choi Yeon was still the same Choi Yeon, saying whatever she wanted to say.
Choi Yeon said gloomily, "You're still laughing, is this funny? My heart has turned cold. I really want to ask you how many women you have, but I'm afraid that the answer will make me go crazy. This is so annoying! "
"Then don't ask. You'll know when it's time to know," Yang Cheng was a little embarrassed to talk about this. He then asked, "What did you say about your sister just now? I'm still waiting for you to explain it to me."
Choi Yeon also knew that it was useless to say anything more. She sighed softly and said, "My sister is getting married."
"What!?" Yang Cheng opened his mouth, suspecting that he had heard wrongly. Cai Ning … is getting married?
"I just found out about this news and I had the same expression as you. But this news was told to me by my mom, so it's definitely not wrong," Choi Yeon said in a slightly depressed manner.
Yang Cheng furrowed his brows and asked, "Who is Flower Rain going to marry?"
"A coward who only knows how to bully others. You should have met him before. His code name in the Dragon Group is Yong Ye," Choi Yeon's tone was filled with disdain.
Of course, Yang Cheng remembered that guy. The few times they met, Yong Ye had been chasing after Cai Ning relentlessly. However, that guy was too weak and cowardly, always acting like a tortoise. No matter how he thought about it, he couldn't understand why Cai Ning wanted to marry him.
Seeing Yang Cheng's frown, Choi Yeon's eyes revealed a hint of surprise. She asked softly, "My sister is getting married. Do you feel bad?"
Yang Cheng's heart trembled. He didn't dare to look at Choi Yeon's eyes because he suddenly felt that he really did feel bad.
It was a complicated feeling. It was empty, a little sad, a little resentful, and a little helpless.
Suddenly, Yang Cheng remembered what Choi Yeon had said. It seemed like Cai Ning's marriage had something to do with him. A clue flashed through his mind. Yang Cheng blurted out, "Is it because you helped me kill Zeng Mao?"
Choi Yeon lowered her head and drew small circles on the ground with the tip of her foot. She said, "Although my sister is an important pillar of the Yellow Flame Iron Brigade, she still has to set an example. She knowingly committed a crime, so of course, her punishment will be more severe."
"She's being punished?!" Yang Chen's eyes were filled with anxiety.
Choi Yeon shook her head. "When she was summoned back to Beijing, she was supposed to go to the military court. After all, Zeng Mao isn't an ordinary person. Many of the Zeng family's relatives have a lot of influence in the central government. Although the Cai family isn't easy to bully, we can't hide the fact that my sister took responsibility.
Later, my mother was worried that she would be sentenced, so she thought of Yong Ye's family … "
With Choi Yeon's narration, Yang Cheng gradually understood what had happened.
Back then, in order to prevent him from causing more trouble, Choi Yeon killed Zeng Mao on his behalf and took responsibility.
The remaining forces of the Zeng family in Beijing naturally wouldn't let it go. Some of Zeng Mao's disciples also had a lot of influence in the upper echelons of Hua Xia.
As a result, it became impossible for the Cai family to protect Cai Ning. Although Cai Yuncheng had become the general of the Yellow Flame Iron Brigade, his identity was mostly kept secret. Even if everyone knew, it wouldn't do much.
As a pillar of the Yellow Flame Iron Brigade, Cai Ning was also a member of the National Security Bureau. Her actions were tantamount to breaking the law knowingly.
Seeing that Cai Ning was about to be tried by the military court and punished, Cai Yuncheng couldn't help but frown. However, the Cai sisters' mother, Jiang Shan, loved her daughter so much that she sought help from her friends.
But Cai Ning's crime and the people she had offended were not to be trifled with. Without absolute deterrence, who would dare to go against the current and cover up Cai Ning's crime?
In the end, Jiang Shan thought of Yong Ye, who had been pursuing Cai Ning. Although Yong Ye wasn't much, his parents, Li Xin and Guo Yali, were both in the upper echelons of the political world. More importantly, Yong Ye's family was the direct descendant of the Li family, one of the four major families!
The Li family was the true leader of the National Security Bureau. If the Li family was willing to plead on Cai Ning's behalf, they could use Cai Ning's many years of contributions to the Yellow Flame Iron Brigade as an excuse. More importantly, no matter how arrogant the remnants of the Zeng family were, they wouldn't dare to provoke the Li family!
When Jiang Shan pleaded with Yong Ye's family, Yong Ye's parents, Li Xin and Guo Yali, didn't reject her outright. They were also willing to help, but their request was very clear: Cai Ning had to marry their son, Yong Ye.
According to Yong Ye's family, if Cai Ning became the daughter-in-law of the Li family, then everything would be logical.
Jiang Shan, who had finally found a straw to clutch at, agreed immediately. But it wasn't possible for them to get married immediately, so she only agreed to let Cai Ning and Yong Ye get engaged first. When the matter was completely settled, they would pick a date for the wedding.
After Cai Yuncheng found out about this, he didn't stop them. He also knew that he couldn't protect his daughter. Only a rich and powerful family like the Li family could do that. His daughter marrying into a wealthy family, even if it wasn't the man she liked, it was still better than wasting her youth in prison.
Cai Ning was a woman of few words. When she found out about her mother's begging, she didn't reject her mother's intentions. Without a word, she got engaged to Yong Ye …
After the engagement, Yong Ye's family really helped. Li Xin, a direct descendant of the Li family, contacted the main branch of the Li family and said that he wanted to have a marriage alliance with the Cai family. The main branch of the Li family didn't mind giving them a back door.
After all, the Cai family was considered a powerful family. Half of the military court was controlled by the Li family. As for the Zeng family, without Zeng Mao, the Li family couldn't even be considered a second-rate family. How could they be more important than Cai Yuncheng, who held a certain amount of military power and was secretly the general of the Yellow Flame Iron Brigade?
Therefore, the Li family just had to make some arrangements, and Cai Ning's case was shelved. No one dared to mention it.
Of course, in order to prevent Cai Ning from being sued, Cai Ning had to marry Yong Ye and become the daughter-in-law of the Li family.
Hearing this, Yang Cheng was expressionless. He finally understood why Choi Yeon said that Cai Ning had a hard time in Beijing.
In the past, Cai Ning had made it clear that she hated Yong Ye's pursuit. But now, because of her mother's pleading with the Li family and Yong Ye's parents, not only did she get engaged to Yong Ye, but she was also going to marry him soon.
If such a thing were to happen to Cai Ning, even if she was free now, it was the same as locking her up in a golden birdcage.
Yang Cheng suddenly remembered that afternoon when Cai Ning took out the Soul-mourning Nail and killed Zeng Mao in an instant. She had a bright smile on her face …
That woman, in fact, at that moment, she knew very well what kind of consequences she would face.
Yang Chen was enraged. He knew that Cai Ning did that not because she was afraid that he wouldn't be able to fight against the Zeng clan, but because she was worried that he would cause a bloodbath and create more trouble. In the end, it would lead to various chain reactions that would implicate the people around them, which would get out of hand.
However, Yang Chen couldn't let it go. This was supposed to be his responsibility. Even if he killed Zeng Mao, the remaining members of the Zeng clan, or even the other clans in Beijing, would continue to cause trouble for him. But there was no reason to ask Cai Ning, a member of the national security team, and an outsider, to take care of these troubles for him!
Yang Cheng didn't like being protected by others, but he knew that Cai Ning seemed to have helped him deal with a storm.
"If your sister doesn't like Yong Ye, then don't marry him. If anyone dares to touch your sister, tell them to come after me," Yang Cheng suppressed his anger and said in a low voice.
Choi Yeon seemed to have guessed that Yang Cheng would have such a reaction. She chuckled and said, "If that's the case, my sister won't agree. She will definitely marry Yong Ye immediately."
"Why?" Yang Cheng looked up in confusion.
Choi Yeon's eyes flashed with sadness. "Although I didn't see what happened with my own eyes, I think my sister doesn't want you to get involved in those disputes."
Yang Chen remained silent. He knew that based on Cai Ning's personality, it was indeed possible that she would marry Yong Ye to the end.
Choi Yeon saw the disappointment in the man's eyes and felt sad. She smiled bitterly and asked, "Do you … like my sister?"
