“You brat, come back here right now! You're my brother. Who told you to turn yourself in without my permission? Get back here right now! He Qinzhou said we have to wait until dawn, and it's not dawn yet. If He Qinzhou hasn't resolved this by dawn, I'll go with you to turn yourself in. No matter how many years you go to jail, I'll wait for you. So…”
At this point, Zhu Ruoqi finally couldn't hold back her tears: "So, please wait a little longer, okay?"
Zhu Ruoqi's words brought tears to Zhu Ran's eyes. He really had the urge to go home immediately and hug his sister tightly.
Who cares what it means to turn yourself in?
But his conscience told him that he had to turn himself in.
After all, he was the one who committed the murder, and He Qinzhou had already saved his life. If he were to take the blame now, his conscience would never be at peace.
Although He Qinzhou confidently said that he could solve the problem, Zhu Ran did not think so.
After all, it was murder. Even if He Qinzhou had a great network of connections, Zhu Ran didn't think he could resolve the matter. Therefore, it was inevitable that he would turn himself in.
"Sister, thank you, but we can't be selfish. Do you really think He Qinzhou can get away with murder? Even if he has the best connections, he'll probably only get a reduced sentence."
Zhu Ran's tone was surprisingly relieved.
"But at least we should listen to him and wait until dawn."
"Can't wait any longer."
Zhu Ran said with a wry smile, "Every minute I wait, the more uneasy I feel. Only by turning myself in and admitting my crimes can I find peace. Sister, being your brother is the luckiest thing in my life."
After Zhu Ran finished speaking, he hung up the phone immediately.
"No, I'm going to the French Open."
With that, Zhu Ruoqi rushed out the door.
"Let's go."
Xie Sisi also quickly got up.
The three girls overheard Zhu Ruoqi and Zhu Ran's conversation, and now they know they can't stop Zhu Ran from turning herself in.
They had no choice but to go along and explain the reason to the officers of the Legal Affairs Bureau. They hoped that Zhu Ran would receive a lighter sentence in court.
Moreover, they were very worried because there had been no news from He Qinzhou for so long, so they went to check on his situation.
"I'm so sorry, we really didn't know you were on a mission. We're so sorry that this is hindering your mission. Here, sir, have some tea."
Inside the Legal Network Bureau, He Qinzhou was drinking tea in the director's office.
At first, He Qinzhou was being interrogated in the interrogation room by various police officers who looked fierce and menacing. But now, He Qinzhou was suddenly invited to the director's office, where the director personally came to greet him.
What left He Qinzhou speechless was that the deceased Mo Zhendong was falsely accused of some crimes, while He Qinzhou was just a special national department sent to carry out a mission. During the mission, he encountered Mo Zhendong's resistance and accidentally killed him.
He Qinzhou was surprised; he hadn't expected Han Yi to be so capable.
"Forget it, the criminal is dead anyway, and we didn't let him get away. Otherwise, you would have been in big trouble."
He Qinzhou had a serious expression, while the director of the Legal Network Bureau humbly lowered his head, looking as if he was being taught a lesson.
"Yes, yes, the leader's teachings are correct."
"Alright, it's getting late, I'm leaving."
"Boss, you haven't eaten yet, have you? How about I take you to get some late-night snacks?"
Upon hearing this, He Qinzhou thought, "That's not bad. I've been wandering around here for half a day and I'm hungry."
Since someone is inviting me to dinner, I'll definitely go.
"Ok."
"Leader, please."
He Qinzhou walked ahead, head held high, while the bureau chief followed behind him with utmost respect.
Just as I left the French Open, I saw a figure hurrying towards me.
"He Qinzhou, are you alright?"
The person who came was Zhu Ran, who was somewhat surprised to see He Qinzhou come out.
Logically speaking, if he were to take the blame, he shouldn't be out at this point.
"What are you here for?"
He Qinzhou asked in confusion, while also looking around. Since Zhu Ran was here, did Zhu Ruoqi and the other girls also come?
However, no matter how hard He Qinzhou searched, there was no trace of these women in the vicinity.
"I've turned myself in."
Zhu Ran said, "I killed the person, I can't let you take the blame for me."
He Qinzhou was somewhat taken aback after hearing this.
What's wrong with this guy? Why is he turning himself in now? Or does he know he's solved the problem and is here to amuse himself?
However, Zhu Ran probably couldn't know that he had already resolved the matter, and seeing the certainty in the young man's eyes, it seemed that he had truly come to turn himself in.
He Qinzhou felt that he hadn't helped the wrong person; the kid did have some sense of responsibility.
Although He Qinzhou and Zhu Ran are not related, he is still Zhu Ruoqi's younger brother.
If Zhu Ran really goes to jail, Zhu Ruoqi probably won't be happy either.
He Qinzhou really went all out to win over Zhu Ruoqi.
"Confess? Leader, what does he mean?"
At this moment, the bureau chief behind He Qinzhou asked.
He was puzzled; wasn't this supposed to be about carrying out a mission?
Another person has come to turn themselves in.
He Qinzhou pulled the bureau chief aside and said sternly, "What are you talking about? He doesn't know my identity. I came here to carry out a mission and tricked him into helping me. In the end, Mo Zhendong died. He was probably scared and thought he was also guilty, so he turned himself in."
"Never mind, sis."
Finally, Zhu Ran couldn't hold back any longer and said, "Thank you, but as a man, I feel that if I let you take the blame today, I will be tormented by my conscience for the rest of my life. I should take responsibility for my own actions. I will bear the consequences of the trouble I have caused."
After saying that, Zhu Ran actually took out his phone and dialed the police station: "Hello, Dongjie Community, Unit 3, 2-1, I've killed someone."
"Xiao Ran, what nonsense are you talking about?"
Upon hearing this, Zhu Ruoqi quickly grabbed the phone and hung up immediately.
"Sister, I've already reported it to the police. They'll be here soon. It's okay, I believe the court will give me a fair trial. It's just that I might not be able to be by your side for the next few years, hmm..."
At this point, Zhu Ran glanced at He Qinzhou and continued to say to Zhu Ruoqi, "Anyway, I don't like this guy very much, but if you really like him, then I have nothing to say."
At this moment, Zhu Ran became calm, perhaps because he knew he couldn't escape either, so he was very calm now.
Zhu Ran calmed down, but Zhu Ruoqi couldn't.
At this moment, he ran up to He Qinzhou, grabbed He Qinzhou's hand tightly, and pleaded, "He Qinzhou, please think of something! Aren't you a member of the He family? You must have a way to save him, right? Before we came, you promised me that you wouldn't let anything happen to my brother. Now you have to think of something. As long as he's alright, I'll do whatever you say."
"Ruoqi, your behavior makes me very angry. Can you please stop using yourself as a bargaining chip? I want you as a person, not as a bargaining chip. If that's the case, even if you become my woman, I don't think you'll be attractive to me at all."
He Qinzhou shrugged and said.
"I just want to save my brother. Please, please think of a way."
Zhu Ruoqi finally couldn't hold back her tears and they started falling. He Qinzhou felt uncomfortable watching this.
With a soft sigh, He Qinzhou silently walked to the knife, picked it up, and said, "Then let me take the blame. That way, you and your brother won't be separated by prison bars."
"He Qinzhou, are you crazy? Let me tell you, don't you dare do anything reckless! Whatever you do, you'll have to wait for my permission! Don't forget, I'm your girlfriend!"
After hearing He Qinzhou's words, Song Rongzhi was the first to speak out in opposition.
Among them, Song Rongzhi was the person closest to He Qinzhou.
After all, they were boyfriend and girlfriend. Song Rongzhi would never agree to let He Qinzhou take the blame, especially for murder.
She didn't want anything to happen to He Qinzhou, and she especially didn't want him to leave her side.
Murder carries a serious penalty of death, while less serious cases can result in life imprisonment, or even a few years or more than a decade in prison.
She's only in her early twenties, a beautiful and youthful age.
She had only been dating her boyfriend for a short time when he went to jail. By the time he got out, her youth was gone.
Song Rongzhi could not accept such an outcome.
At least for now, she wants to dedicate her entire youth to He Qinzhou.
"Qinzhou, what nonsense are you spouting? No matter what, we can't let you take the blame. You've already helped me enough. If we ask you to take the blame for my brother, our consciences will never be at peace with us for the rest of our lives."
Hearing He Qinzhou's words, Zhu Ruoqi was filled with emotion and gratitude, but she still refused He Qinzhou's offer.
"Ruoqi, thank you, but I've made up my mind, and no one can change it. If you want this to pass peacefully, you'll all have to follow my instructions. Now, all of you, get out of here."
As He Qinzhou spoke, he began to issue orders.
“I know what I’m doing. This fool has already reported it to the police, and they’re coming soon. You bunch of you are just standing there and not leaving. If there are too many people and too much talk, it will only ruin my plans.”
“If you leave now, I can guarantee that no one will be in trouble. But if you don’t leave now, Zhu Ran is definitely finished. Do you really think that you can get away with just someone taking the blame? Do you really think that the people in the Legal Network Bureau are just sitting around doing nothing?”
"If you want this to pass peacefully, listen to me. Now get out of here and go to Ruoqi's house. I promise I'll be back safe and sound before dawn, okay?"
He Qinzhou already had a plan in mind. If these women didn't cooperate, it wouldn't affect the outcome of his plan, but it would be a little more troublesome. He Qinzhou wasn't someone who liked trouble.
It would be best to resolve this matter as soon as possible.
"You didn't lie to us?"
Han H, who had been silent all along, finally spoke up and asked.
Han H was actually quite skeptical. After all, it was murder, and there has always been the saying that murderers should pay with their lives. In the present day, with such a sound legal system, it would not be easy to clear one's name of murder.
What benefit would I get from lying to you?
He Qinzhou rolled his eyes speechlessly and said, "Alright, all of you, get out of here. Hurry up, don't mess up my plans."
The women exchanged glances, unsure whether they should trust He Qinzhou.
"What are you all standing there for? If you don't leave, I'll throw you out one by one."
He Qinzhou feigned anger and said.
Why can't these girls understand?
The police are coming soon. If they stay any longer, won't they just be making things more complicated?
What could have been resolved before dawn will likely have taken several more hours if they get involved.
"Qinzhou, I'll listen to you and leave now, but let me tell you, I won't let you take the blame for anyone. If you don't come back before dawn tomorrow, I'll go to the police station myself and tell them the truth."
Song Rongzhi spoke at this moment.
She is probably the one with the most authority to speak among this group of girls.
At this moment, Song Rongzhi did not want to put He Qinzhou in a difficult position. Since he was so confident, she would give him one night.
After saying that, Song Rongzhi left first.
"My girlfriend left, why aren't you leaving?"
He Qinzhou said.
At times like these, your own woman is the most considerate and sets a good example.
Now that Song Rongzhi is gone, what else can the other women say?
“Qinzhou, I’m the same as her. I won’t let you take the blame for my brother. I’m waiting for you at home. If you don’t come back, I’ll turn myself in for him.”
Zhu Ruoqi said gratefully, and then pulled Zhu Ran away.
In the end, only Han H and Xie Sisi remained. The two looked at He Qinzhou without saying a word for a long time.
"Hey, aren't you leaving yet?"
He Qinzhou asked.
The two bit their lips, glanced at each other, and then suddenly rushed up and hugged him: "Don't lie to us."
After saying that, he released He Qinzhou, turned around and ran out.
"What do these two girls mean...?"
He Qinzhou watched the two women's retreating figures and muttered something under his breath, completely bewildered.
