Chapter 999 - 998: Qin Yan's Interrogation

Feeling the contempt and disdain in Qin Yan's gaze, Lu Song frowned slightly, "Comrade Qin Yan, please answer."Qin Yan let out a nasal tremor, nodded, and said naturally, "Yes, about 1.3 million, right? But so what?"

Lu Song added, "If I recall correctly, even now, your monthly salary is only a little over five thousand, yet you're driving a car worth more than 1.3 million. Isn't there something that needs explaining?"

"I can't afford it, but my daughter can. That Hummer was bought by my daughter as a gift for me. Is there a problem?"

Gu Chao frowned and asked, "How can you prove that the car was bought by your daughter for you?"

Qin Yan sneered, "From what you're saying, can you prove that the car wasn't bought by my daughter for me?"

Lu Song and Gu Chao were momentarily speechless; they really couldn't, and besides... since they were investigating Qin Yan, they had long since figured out this matter. They certainly knew about Qin Yan's family ties, had an idea of Qin Ruojing's financial capability, and were aware that the car was indeed purchased by Qin Ruojing for Qin Yan.

The reason they brought up this issue at the start was merely to go from the shallow to the deep, making Qin Yan lower his guard and strive to catch slips in Qin Yan's words in order to magnify the issue infinitely, opening any potential breakthrough.

"Comrades, can we talk about something of value and meaning? Discussing such unsubstantial topics is a waste of time for you and me and everyone else. Let me emphasize, I will talk with you for a maximum of fifteen minutes. Once that time is up, my daughter's wedding must proceed normally."

Originally, Lu Song and Gu Chao were already at a disadvantage in terms of momentum. Hearing Qin Yan say this, they felt even more irritated. Clearly, Qin Yan was a hard nut to crack; even with both of them working at it, it would certainly be difficult.

Lu Song silently took a deep breath and brought up the next question, still related to property issues, although they already knew the answer. The valuable item they mentioned was also bought for Qin Yan by Qin Ruojing.

As soon as Lu Song finished his question, Qin Yan answered instantly without any hesitation. This situation was entirely within Lu Song and Gu Chao's expectations. Gu Chao immediately asked another question, and Qin Yan continued to reply fluently.

Lu Song and Gu Chao kept questioning Qin Yan, wanting to give him no time to think, making his mind form a pattern. When they got to a question unrelated to Qin Ruojing, it would be the moment when Qin Yan might slip and let something show.

As time ticked by, just when Lu Song and Gu Chao thought the time was ripe, Gu Chao seemingly casually asked a probing question. However, Qin Yan did not fall into the trap they set at all and immediately provided them with a reasonable answer that was beyond their expectations.

Lu Song and Gu Chao frowned subtly, a trace of anxiety and anger flickering in their eyes.

In Qin Yan's heart, he sneered repeatedly. These two underestimated him, trying to fool him with such petty tricks; isn't this like showing off a paltry skill before an expert? If he couldn't see through such minor tricks, then his years as a criminal investigator would have been in vain.

As time continued to pass, Chu Ge sat on the side, composedly watching Qin Yan engage in a question-and-answer session with these two commission members. He even had the leisure to chat with Yu Jingsong next to him. If he had a bag of popcorn and a large cup of cola, it would really be like watching a show.

While Chu Ge was so relaxed, Lu Song and Gu Chao felt more and more like swearing. As time ticked by, they still couldn't make Qin Yan hesitate even a little. Though they were unwilling, they felt they had to play their trump card, their killer move.

"Comrade Qin Yan, as a state official, yet you hold such a grand wedding for your daughter. Don't you feel this behavior is completely inappropriate for your position and has a very negative impact?"

Qin Yan knew these two would eventually ask this. The reason he had been going on about other things was to try and catch him on some other issue.

Like Ultraman finally releasing his attack when fighting monsters, the potential problems that could arise from this topic were Lu Song and Gu Chao's "trump card of all trump cards," which they would not easily use until the very end.

And once they played this "trump card," it would be "the real deal among real deals," and then they would spare no effort in accusing him.

"Of course not, why wouldn't it fit my position to hold a wedding for my daughter? Why would it have a negative impact? What position? Hmm? Why don't you tell me, just what position am I supposed to be?"

Even though Qin Yan was aware of this, when Lu Song asked this question, he still felt quite disgusted. He snorted coldly through his nose, crossed his legs, and with a half-smile, counter-questioned indifferently.

Lu Song righteously replied, "I already said, you are a public servant, a cadre, your words and actions represent not only yourself but also the image of all people's police officers."

"Oh, is that so." Qin Yan nodded, suddenly upturning one corner of his mouth, "Then do you know, besides being a policeman, I'm also a father of two children? Aren't I someone with family and friends?"

"But..."

"But nothing! Enough with the buts!" Qin Yan's expression suddenly turned cold, and he stood up from his chair.

"What... what are you trying to do?"

Qin Yan's sudden outburst startled Lu Song and Gu Chao, making them subconsciously take a step back, their eyes showing traces of tension and panic.

"I've been a policeman for decades, and I can say with a clear conscience, when it comes to work, I have no regrets toward heaven above, the earth below, nor to the folks all around. Throughout the years, I've never engaged in corruption or bribery. Of course, if you insist that I once smoked cigarettes given by others and drank tea presented by others, I can't deny it."

"For my duty, to live up to my uniform and the badge on my head, I work tirelessly outside, returning home only to collapse into sleep, unsure if I'd have to rush out to face nefarious criminals or handle sudden situations."

"I can't even recall when my two daughters first spoke or took their first steps or when they first ran, and they considered just going to a park as a family a luxury!"

"I can remember the features of every criminal I've caught, yet I often forget my wedding anniversary with my wife, forget my two daughters' birthdays, and I've never even attended a single parent-teacher conference! You ask if I understand this or that, well I ask if you understand how much I've owed my family because of my duty?"

"You tell me, who doesn't have personal connections? What father wouldn't want his daughter to have a grand and beautiful wedding? You talk to me about identity, enlightenment, and influence. So tell me, does nobody come when there's a red or white event at your home, and you're satisfied?"

"To put it just as plainly, over the years, whenever relatives and friends had events, our family never missed out. If my wife couldn't attend, she'd definitely send the money. How come nobody ever raised a concern about influences back then? But now when we do something and receive some gifts, suddenly it's a concern?"

"Oh, you're thinking, times have changed, it wasn't this strict back then, and I'm just unlucky to fall in these times? Well, let me tell you, our money wasn't swept in by the wind, it was earned by risking lives outside, earned by my daughter sacrificing her best years as a young woman to work hard in business!"

"Oh, so now if I eat better, dress better, or drive a nice car, your eyes turn green with envy? Are you bored or idle? To come to my daughter's wedding looking for trouble and annoying us just makes you happy, right?"

"My daughter has the capability to earn money and is filial to me, so I spend my daughter's money—what about it? I'm spending it openly and uprightly!"

"All these years, I've owed my daughter so much, and she not only doesn't resent me but spends money to buy me things. She gets married, and I shouldn't arrange it well? I'm organizing it with my heart held high!"

"Throughout these years, having so many exchanges with relatives and friends, what's wrong with receiving some gift money? I receive it with a clear conscience!"

This speech by Qin Yan was powerful and resonant, with a firm stance. Each time he voiced a question, he took a step forward toward Lu Song and Gu Chao across from him. With each step forward, they took a step back, his immense righteous aura seemingly tangible, like an invisible wall rushing toward them, building pressure on their hearts.

Unknowingly, sweat started to seep from Lu Song and Gu Chao's foreheads, and they didn't even realize when they had backed up to the edge of the stage.

"Thud!"

"Thud!"

Lu Song and Gu Chao almost simultaneously fell off the stage, landing awkwardly on the ground.

Although Qin Yan watched them step back bit by bit to this point and could have easily caught them before they fell, he was really fuming now and didn't care about these jinxes.

After all, the stage wasn't that high, and falling wouldn't really hurt them, so let them have a little lesson!
