Chapter 608 Look into my eyes and tell me
Hearing this, Hu Yong calmed down a little.
I didn't think that all this was caused by Li Zhenmin, I just felt that all this was too dreamy.
Even though after Li Zhenmin's explanation, I knew that the matter was actually over when I found out, and even though I understood the reason and logic behind it, the sense of unreality that I experienced personally was really uncomfortable.
More importantly, no matter what, he had real feelings for Ma Lanlan.
Thinking of this, he felt a strange emotion in his heart, and then he said, "Brother, I want to go see Lanlan now. Can you take me there? I want to ask her something in person."
Li Zhenmin shook his head. "Not now. We have to wait two days. Ma Lanlan herself doesn't know about these things now. If you go there and tell her, it means she won't have time to react. In this case, even if she says something, it will be meaningless. Moreover, she needs to be retried and convicted. She can't meet with outsiders during this process. You can only see her after everything is settled."
Hu Yong did not insist on meeting right away unreasonably, and just nodded slightly to agree.
.........
Ma Lanlan had a good time these past two days. She was no longer bullied and was even taken out of the prison and moved into a guesthouse. However, she still did not have freedom of movement.
Therefore, she thought that it was Li Zhenmin who made an effort, and judging from the situation, it would not take long for her to regain her freedom completely.
However, this day.
There are JCs here, but they are not simple policemen like those in the police station before, but real public security criminal police.
She was taken to the Public Security Bureau, and she thought that Li Zhenmin must have used his connections to ask higher-ups to investigate the matter.
But what happened after entering the interrogation room left her dumbfounded.
Everything was fine at the beginning. The other party explained the poisoning incident right away and said that after investigation, it was found that Ma Zhengguang and Meng Ping framed them. Ma Zhengguang and Meng Ping have been arrested. They asked her whether she wanted to meet and whether she wanted to forgive them.
Ma Lanlan suffered such injustice and was beaten in prison. How could she possibly forgive after going through so much hardship? So she refused immediately.
After refusing the settlement, she thought she could leave, but the JC changed the subject and said, "In this case, you are innocent of the poisoning case. You don't have to bear any criminal responsibility. Meng Ping and Ma Zhengguang will have to pay you a sum of money for your losses while accepting legal punishment."
"but..."
JC paused for a moment, and continued, seeing Ma Lanlan's confused expression, "You are involved in another case, so you can't leave for the time being..."
Then JC recounted the investigation into the incident in which Xiao Caihong had her legs broken a few years ago, and provided a considerable amount of evidence.
These include the confessions and signed statements of Liu Qiang, Hu San, Ma Zhengguang, Meng Ping, and Gong Changjiang...
"Comrade Ma Lanlan, do you have anything to explain? Those who confess will be treated leniently, while those who resist will be treated severely. I hope you will think it through before you answer."
JC's voice and expression suddenly became extremely serious.
Malanlan was completely confused.
Following JC's words, I kept thinking back to the past. Even though I remembered what happened in the past, I still couldn't believe how this matter was dug up.
She looked at the evidence on the table, opened her mouth, and didn't know how to start.
After a while, she finally calmed down a little, looked at JC opposite her, and asked nervously: "I want to see Li Zhenmin, is that okay?"
JC frowned. He understood what Malanlan meant. She wanted to find someone to help with bail and defense.
However, he knew Li Zhenmin's name, and he has been close to the people from Guoan these days. Now that Ma Lanlan has been handed over to him by Guoan, should he consider it?
After thinking about it, JC finally agreed and said, "Okay, but I hope you don't say anything you shouldn't say."
"Thank you, comrade, thank you, comrade, I will definitely cooperate with the investigation." Ma Lanlan expressed her gratitude repeatedly.
Then the police asked someone to call Li Zhenmin.
Half an hour later, Li Zhenmin came here and sat opposite Ma Lanlan.
Ma Lanlan was about to speak, but Li Zhenmin interrupted her and said, "I have heard about your story. The evidence is irrefutable. Whether you are doing this for your own sake or for Hu Yong's, I hope you will accept the punishment of the law."
Ma Lanlan looked shocked. She had never expected that Li Zhenmin would refuse the possibility of using his connections for her without even waiting for her to speak.
"Considering that you were a minor when you committed the crime, you may be given a lighter sentence, but you must admit your mistakes, otherwise you will be sentenced to a heavier punishment."
"Be a good person in the future. Besides, Xiaoyong has shown his true feelings for you. When your case is finalized, he will come to see you. I hope you won't make things difficult for him then."
Li Zhenmin's words were meant as a reminder and warning. Without giving Ma Lanlan a chance to speak, he stood up and left the interrogation room.
Ma Lanlan opened her mouth and watched Li Zhenmin disappear from her sight, but in the end she said nothing.
JC on the side asked, "Anything else you want to say?"
Ma Lanlan seemed to have lost all her strength. She sat limply on the stool with her head down for a long time without saying a word. It was unknown how much time had passed before she murmured, "I plead guilty and accept the punishment."
.........
Two days later.
Hu Yong met Ma Lanlan again in prison.
This time when they met, the two did not have the same intense emotions as last time. Face to face and looking into each other's eyes, the atmosphere became very quiet.
After a long silence, Hu Yong placed some clothes and food he brought on the table. As he opened his bag, he said, "The weather is starting to get colder. Remember to take care of yourself in there. I..."
"I'm sorry." Ma Lanlan's sorry interrupted Hu Yong and suppressed the awkward atmosphere.
"Hu Yong, I'm sorry. I had other intentions when I first contacted you. I'm a very selfish person. I've done a lot of self-righteous and arrogant things in the past."
"You can feel my attitude towards you. If it were someone else, they would have been unhappy with me a long time ago. Actually, it's funny. Sometimes I don't understand you. You have such good conditions, why do you want to be controlled by me willingly? Even if I make things difficult for you, you are still so humble. I don't understand why a man can behave so humbly..."
Ma Lanlan smiled bitterly, as if she was laughing at Hu Yong's cowardice, and as if she was laughing at herself for getting what she deserved.
"I don't know either." Hu Yong also smiled bitterly: "Maybe I'm just such a coward. I have such good parents and grandmother, such a good brother, and such good conditions, but I still feel insecure. I want to be needed and understood by others."
"After you showed up, I felt like I was different. I could tell others that I, Hu Yong, had a girlfriend, and she was a beauty, and she was the one who took the initiative to pursue me."
"You are so strong towards me and often ignore my feelings, but I still think that you are not that kind of person. You must have your own difficulties. As long as I work hard enough and am sincere enough, you will change."
"Even at this moment, even though I know you did something so extreme to others, I still can't help but think that it wasn't your original intention, but that your parents didn't take good care of you, which led to your strong rebellious mentality."
"And even now, I am still thinking that if you reform yourself in there, I will wait for you outside. As long as you are willing, I will still overcome difficulties and marry you."
"Haha, do you think this idea is childish? No, it's not a question of whether it's childish or not, it's just that there's no cure. What do you think?"
Hu Yong kept laughing at himself. As he spoke, tears welled up in his eyes and his voice gradually became louder.
"But I just like you. I just hope you can get better and understand. As long as you are willing to change, I am willing to exchange anything for you."
"Look me in the eyes now and tell me, are you willing to change?"
