Chapter 303: Wen Ye’s Arrest

Gu Dai lifted the rod again, striking it down on Wen Ye’s other leg.
Song Ling watched with a palpable sense of unease as Gu Dai, her gaze icy and unforgiving, executed her merciless action. He hastily intervened, catching her hand and meeting her angry stare with a firm tone, “The lesson you’ve given him is more than enough. Any more, and he truly might not survive.”
Gu Dai withdrew her hand, held by Song Ling, and replied indifferently, “He won’t die.”
She was confident in her medical skills, capable of bringing Wen Ye back from the brink of death.
Unaware of Gu Dai’s abilities, Song Ling continued to persuade, “Our main objective now is to question if Wen Ye is the perpetrator.”
Gu Dai then snapped back to reality, discarding the rod and squatting down to interrogate Wen Ye, “I’ll ask you once more, did you plan the attack?”
Wen Ye, battered to the point of cold sweats, could only emit pained howls, unable to respond to Gu Dai’s query.
Gu Dai then pressed several acupuncture points on Wen Ye’s body.
Wen Ye confessed, “Yes, it was me. I only intended to teach you a lesson, just a lesson, I realize my mistake now, please spare me!”
Gu Dai didn’t respond to Wen Ye’s pleas. Instead, she took out her phone, opened her gallery, and presented a photo of a woman in red taken by Chu Min to Wen Ye, asking, “Do you recognize this woman?”
Upon seeing the photo, Wen Ye’s pupils constricted, his gaze shifty, instinctively avoiding Gu Dai’s.
Gu Dai, her eyes slightly downcast, spoke coldly, “You know who this is. If you don’t want to be hit again, you better start talking.”
As she said this, she picked up the steel rod she had thrown to the ground earlier.
The rod reflected a sliver of light. Terrified by its sight, Wen Ye hurriedly said, “I know her. Three years ago, she ate with Gu Si once. There was also a man with her, another Gu, but I can’t quite recall his name.”
Gu Dai’s eyes narrowed slightly, and after a few seconds, she ventured a guess, “Gu Ming?”
Wen Ye eagerly confirmed, “Yes, yes, that’s the name. I don’t know her personally, but Gu Si and Gu Ming were likely plotting something with her!”
Gu Dai pondered for a moment, surprised to learn that the connection between Gu Si and Gu Ming dated back to three years ago.
She hadn’t expected that her family had been entangled in their schemes for so long.
Song Ling watched Gu Dai with a pained expression. She was just a young woman in her early twenties, yet so many of her kin conspired against her, seeking her demise.
After Wen Ye had confessed everything, he anxiously asked, “I’ve told you everything, can you let me go now?”
Gu Dai nodded, “Yes.”
Relieved, Wen Ye scrambled up and ran towards the alley’s exit. After a few steps, puzzled, he wondered, “Hey, why doesn’t my leg hurt anymore?”
“Maybe I just have a really good constitution,” he thought, not dwelling on it further, and hurried away.
Song Ling, observing Wen Ye’s retreat, cast an inquisitive look at Gu Dai, “Did you do something?”
Gu Dai tilted her head, puzzled, “What?”
Song Ling shook his head, changing the subject, “After all he’s done, you’re just letting him go?”
Gu Dai affirmed, “Of course.”
“The police will take it from here.” Saying this, she dialed the emergency number.
Gu Dai reported, “Officer, at Jing Street Basement 48, there’s an illegal gambling den.”
Within ten minutes, the police, utilizing the surveillance footage, apprehended everyone at the scene.
Wen Ye, having left the alley, angrily headed to the basement to confront his betrayers, only to be arrested by the police upon his arrival.
Meanwhile, Gu Dai provided the police with evidence of Wen Ye’s involvement in murder for hire and child abuse.
Upon hearing the charges, Wen Ye guessed Gu Dai’s hand was in this. Outraged, he shouted, “I won’t let Gu Dai get away with this! She promised to let me go, only to call the police on me. Once I’m out, I won’t spare her!”
The police officer sternly replied, “Keep quiet!”
