CHAPTER 341: CHAPTER 211: WHEN THE WATERS RECEDE, THE STONES EMERGE, LET’S REMARRY!

Bei Ran understood that the best help she could offer him now was not to add any more pressure, so she stepped back a few paces and then shouted to Wu Kang, "Wu Kang, come quickly!"

Wu Kang was comforting Qiao Peitian at the time, and when he saw Gu Qingchen fighting with someone dressed in a nun’s habit, he immediately ran over and picked up a wooden stool on the way.

With a "bang," the stool smashed down on the person.

It was only when he looked up at Wu Kang that Wu Kang realized it was Qin Chao.

Qin Chao panicked and tried to flee, but was sent sprawling to the ground by a kick from Gu Qingchen’s long leg.

Gu Qingchen landed a heavy kick on Qin Chao’s body: "We need to settle our accounts from six years ago!"

"Six years ago?" But Qin Chao burst into laughter, "What about six years ago?"

"Keep pretending!" Gu Qingchen’s face was cold as frost, "I have ways to make you admit it."

At this moment, Zhuo Yufeng also arrived.

He had people cuff Qin Chao and then took him to the police station.

"Yufeng, I have something to tell you!" Bei Ran approached and said, "This person is related to something that happened between Qingchen and me six years ago, and both Qingchen and I want to know who he is!"

"No problem," Zhuo Yufeng replied, "We’ll head back to the police station now, you two come along!"

Once at the police station, Bei Ran and Gu Qingchen were outside the interrogation room.

Zhuo Yufeng, however, went into the interrogation room. The man who once looked like Qin Chao, the affectionate, had now undergone a drastic change, and seemed like a seasoned criminal who treated dealing with the police as something as common as dining.

Qin Chao’s attitude was extremely arrogant, and, facing Zhuo Yufeng across from him, he still had a defiant expression.

The Qin Chao who had appeared like a withered tree, akin to a thousand-year-old mummy excavated from Egypt, just before the wedding, was now long gone.

Although he was still dressed in a nun’s habit, he could not hide the true characteristics of a habitual offender.

"Officer Zhuo, why did you arrest me?" Qin Chao laughed, "What crime did I commit? Is wearing a nun’s habit a crime? Is faking illness also a crime?"

Seeing his aggressive manner, Zhuo Yufeng then asked, "Qin Chao, there’s no need for such arrogance. Wearing a nun’s habit isn’t a crime, and neither is faking illness. Today you’re being arrested for fraud, but that’s not your only case; you have other cases as well!"

"Officer Zhuo, please investigate this properly. My arrangement with Qiao Peitian was consensual. I fell ill and she agreed to let me marry another woman. She also willingly transferred property to me of her own volition, without any coercion. Plus, I’ve never extorted her, so I’m innocent," Qin Chao was overconfident, "As for the previous cases you mentioned, sue me if you have evidence, or else release me!"

Zhuo Yufeng was well aware of the situation. Indeed, Qin Chao faking illness couldn’t serve as evidence of a crime, and additionally, Qin Peitian had indeed transferred her property to Qin Chao out of love. Questioning him on this was futile.

"Very well, return the property deed to Miss Qin now," Zhuo Yufeng directed, securing a material recovery for her, so that, other than emotional distress, her material losses had been recouped.

Yet, whether it was emotional or financial damage, the harm done to Qiao Peitian was irreplaceable. She had truly loved someone, only to be cruelly hurt by them.

Moreover, women always take love so seriously.

Disdainful, Qin Chao said, "I’ll return it, and now I can leave, right?"

Zhuo Yufeng continued to inquire, "Then, about six years ago in the hotel, on the morning of August 3rd at six o’clock, you kidnapped a woman. How do you explain that?"

"Officer Zhuo, oh dear, I’m sorry, it’s been too long, I don’t remember!" Qin Chao fell silent upon mentioning this case.

Zhuo Yufeng placed a photo in front of him, "This silhouette, it’s you, isn’t it!"

"Officer Zhuo, there are many similar silhouettes. You can’t accuse me just by a silhouette!" Qin Chao said sarcastically, "Is this how Officer Zhuo, the famed detective, handles cases?"

Zhuo Yufeng took out a photo of Song Chenxi, "This girl, you must remember her!"

"Don’t remember, seems like I’ve never seen her," Qin Chao played tai chi with his words.

At that moment, a subordinate brought over some documents, "Officer Zhuo, there’s news."

Zhuo Yufeng stepped out, then took the documents and looked through them before approaching Gu Qingchen and Bei Ran, "Take a look at this!"

Gu Qingchen looked at them, and Bei Ran also peered over.

"So it was him!" Bei Ran exclaimed.

Gu Qingchen also never would have thought that Qin Chao could actually be the long-lost grandson of his maternal grandfather!

Qin Chao is also from the Song Family.

Zhuo Yufeng said, "Is there any other evidence? Qin Chao has always refused to admit knowing Song Chenxi. Even if it was him back then, we have no evidence to catch him!"

"There is—" Bei Ran immediately said, "I saw a DNA report in Song Xuyao’s hand, personally verified by Grandfather. That report said the man who was involved with Song Chenxi has a blood relation with her..."

Gu Qingchen’s face changed, "No wonder... That explains it... No wonder..."

Seeing the change in his expression, Bei Ran quickly grasped his hand, "Qingchen, I have a way to make Qin Chao confess!"

Gu Qingchen gazed at her and nodded.

Bei Ran spoke to Zhuo Yufeng for a bit, after which, Zhuo Yufeng entered the interrogation room.

Zhuo Yufeng handed him a DNA report, "Take a look at this first! You had an affair with Song Chenxi that year, causing her pregnancy. The police have a record of your sample. Now with live evidence collection, it can be immediately proven."

It was then that Zhuo Yufeng said, "Call the forensic investigator, and also ask Mister Song to come over!"

Upon hearing this, Qin Chao knew that he couldn’t cover up the incident from that year.

After the forensic expert collected live evidence, Song Xuyao also arrived!

As soon as Song Xuyao heard that the culprit who hurt Song Chenxi had been caught, he rushed in immediately. Looking at Qin Chao, he threw a punch, "You scum, Chenxi is your sister too, how could you do this to her?"

Qin Chao’s hands were cuffed, and at this moment, he naturally couldn’t overpower Song Xuyao. He hurriedly called, "Somebody help, I’m being killed by the police..."

Zhuo Yufeng ignored Qin Chao and walked out directly.

"I’m going to kill you, you scum!" At this moment, Song Xuyao started to punch and kick, filled with the same intensity of the love he had for Song Chenxi as the hatred he had for the man who hurt her!

Previously, he thought it was Gu Qingchen, so he constantly targeted Gu Qingchen, making sure he didn’t have a single good day.

But, he was wrong after all!

The real culprit was someone else!

This made Song Xuyao, while feeling guilty towards Gu Qingchen, hate Qin Chao even more.

Unable to withstand the beating from Song Xuyao, Qin Chao had no choice but to say, "Song Chenxi was drugged, and I took advantage of her! Blame it on her for being so pure and charming, and I drank too much that day. If I hadn’t been drunk, I wouldn’t have laid a hand on her..."

At this point, Zhuo Yufeng, Bei Ran, and Gu Qingchen all came in. Qin Chao looked at Bei Ran, saying, "If I hadn’t been drunk, if I had to choose, I would definitely choose her!"

Meaning that, six years ago that night, it was a mistaken twist of fate.

Qin Chao and Gu Qingchen, the two cousins, were both drunk.

And both Song Chenxi and Bei Ran were drugged, but due to a mix-up, Bei Ran and Gu Qingchen had a wild night together, while Qin Chao indeed committed an act no better than a beast with his own biological cousin.

Qin Chao continued, "When I woke up, it was almost six o’clock. I knew I could commit fraud and other bad deeds, but I couldn’t deal with Song Chenxi like that. However, it was already too late. So, I randomly opened a room door and saw Gu Qingchen with this woman Bei Ran... So I dressed in women’s clothing, a trick I’m accustomed to using to escape, and took Bei Ran away, leaving Song Chenxi beside Gu Qingchen..."

Thus, the past incident of six years ago was finally unveiled.

Due to this mistaken identity, Song Chenxi became pregnant and committed suicide!

And Bei Ran also struggled to give birth to twins. She was indeed lucky to have first married the father of the children, but the marriage, not founded on love, inevitably ended in divorce.

Qin Chao sighed, "I could never have imagined that this time, while cheating for money, I would encounter Bei Ran. If not for Gu Qingchen’s intervention, I would have already taken the money and fled far away. How could I have fallen into your hands?"

"This is called the inescapable net of heaven’s justice!" Bei Ran said coldly. "For the beastly deeds you have done, you’ll eventually be punished by the law."

But Song Xuyao was unwilling to let go, "I’m going to kill him, to avenge Chenxi..."

Zhuo Yufeng held back Song Xuyao, "Don’t be foolish! You have to continue living well and live properly, otherwise, it would be unfair to Chenxi..."

Bei Ran accompanied Gu Qingchen as they left the police station.

He had been silent the whole time, and Bei Ran knew he still had worries on his mind, so she just quietly walked alongside him.

The weather in autumn was crisp and clear, the sky was particularly blue, and the clouds exceptionally white.

Suddenly, Gu Qingchen stopped and said, "Bei Ran, let’s remarry!"
