Chapter 696: Chapter 696

Clearly, Mr. Xu’s underlying meaning was that he still didn’t agree to lock Xu Yang in the small dark room.

Li Lei got anxious immediately, "Dad, you heard what Xu Yang said to you. If we don’t lock him up now, it’ll only bring bigger trouble to our family."

"It’s not that bad. He just doesn’t understand the stakes involved. I’ll find time later to explain it to him clearly."

Li Lei wanted to persuade further, but Old Master Xu had already grown impatient.

"You’re really this eager to send your son in there?"

These words hit Li Lei’s weak spot directly. If she had a choice, Li Lei naturally wouldn’t want to do this.

Within, she was filled with guilt and regret for failing to manage this disappointing son.

At this moment, Li Lei was at a loss and even held onto a sliver of wishful thinking in her heart.

If Mr. Xu could truly make Xu Yang see the reality, then things wouldn’t have to be so troublesome.

The one lost in the situation cannot see clearly; the observer sees more plainly. Witnessing this scene, Zhang Yang kept shaking his head.

Hopeless. Completely hopeless this time.

Zhang Yang could confirm that that bastard Xu Yang wouldn’t listen to reason at all. But this had little to do with him.

No longer lingering, he directly made a call to Xu Guangzhi to ask where Guo Da was now.

At that moment, Guo Da was also in one of the interrogation rooms here. Although Xu Guangzhi was overseeing this case, to investigate it, the Harmonious Society Management Association Center still had to cooperate.

Upon learning that Zhang Yang had arrived, Xu Guangzhi directly told Zhang Yang to come over, as he had no desire to see the Xu family right now.

Otherwise, they’d only try to get him to find a way to get Xu Yang out.

Right now, Xu Guangzhi definitely didn’t want to offend Zhang Yang over someone like Xu Yang, so he was genuinely uninterested in getting involved.

Soon, Zhang Yang arrived at the door of another interrogation room, and Xu Guangzhi walked up to him.

"Why did you come along with Li Lei? Was it just to watch Xu Yang’s humiliation?"

Zhang Yang didn’t deny it. "Let’s say that’s part of it, but mainly I wanted to see Guo Da’s humiliation."

What Zhang Yang hadn’t mentioned was that this time he wanted to see if Guo Da had any reason for him to show leniency.

He stepped into the interrogation room.

When enemies meet, their eyes burn with rage. Guo Da’s hatred for Zhang Yang was even several times stronger than for Xu Yang.

"Zhang Yang, what are you here for? Don’t think that putting me in here means you’ve won."

"I’ll definitely get out of here, and I won’t let you off either."

"Hehe, let’s wait and see."

"Zhang Yang, I’ll make sure you understand that you’ll always regret crossing me."

Had Li Lei not told him about the powerful family background behind the Guo Family, Zhang Yang really wouldn’t take such words seriously. But now, Zhang Yang was aware of what Guo Da was relying on.

"If I gave you a chance to atone for your sins, what would you do?" Zhang Yang asked abruptly.

Xu Guangzhi watched Zhang Yang with great surprise. He hadn’t expected Zhang Yang to actually have thoughts of forgiving Guo Da.

This was good news, and Xu Guangzhi was happy to see it happen.

But what Xu Guangzhi couldn’t have anticipated was that this idiot Guo Da didn’t appreciate it at all.

"Do I need to atone? Don’t make me laugh, Zhang Yang. We’re not on the same level. The first thing I’ll do when I get out of here is to grab that little nurse again."

"This time, I’ll make her experience what real despair is."

"And you, Zhang Yang, I’ll also make you understand that messing with me was the most regretful decision you’ve made in your entire life."

Xu Guangzhi stared in disbelief at Guo Da. Is this guy an idiot?

Zhang Yang laughed as well. "Hearing you say all this, I’m relieved. Finally, there’s no need for me to hesitate anymore."

"What do you mean?" Guo Da snarled.

"It’s nothing. Just that I was considering whether or not to let you off the hook. But now it’s clear there’s no need at all."

Guo Da burst out laughing. "Zhang Yang, do I need you to let me off?"

Zhang Yang gave Guo Da a thumbs-up. At that moment, Guo Da noticed that Zhang Yang was holding his phone, recording him.

"What the hell are you doing?"

Zhang Yang shook his head. "Nothing, just making a record. A little something to shut certain people up."

"Of course, I’ll give you one last chance too. Will you repent and atone for what you’ve done?"

Guo Da burst into laughter at such naïve talk. "Dream on!"

"Perfect!" Zhang Yang turned off his phone.

Then he said to Xu Guangzhi, "You heard him. This person—I’ll be seeing through to the end. Process him as quickly as possible."

Xu Guangzhi laughed bitterly inwardly. It seemed Zhang Yang was really determined to clash head-on with Guo Qiyu this time.

Luckily, there was still Liang Hongwei ahead of him to shield the way. Since Liang Hongwei had said everything should be handled by the book, he certainly wouldn’t hesitate.

Just as Zhang Yang was about to leave, Guo Da suddenly laughed and said, "Zhang Yang, do you believe me? Within a week, I’ll be out of here. And by then, you’d better make sure to protect that little nurse."

"Oh, and Pei Yuyan—I won’t spare her either."

"Just you all wait!"

Zhang Yang didn’t look at Guo Da but simply chose to ignore him.

Leaving the interrogation room, Zhang Yang bade farewell to Xu Guangzhi. Once outside, he saw Li Lei already waiting for him.

"I thought you’d already left," Zhang Yang said with a smile.

Li Lei wasn’t in a good mood, but she still forced out a smile. "Since we came together, it’s only right to leave together."

"Oh, in that case, send me back to the hospital," Zhang Yang said.

Li Lei didn’t start the car immediately. After hesitating for a while, she suddenly turned to Zhang Yang and asked, "If you were me, how would you handle this matter?"

Clearly, Li Lei was deeply conflicted and unsure of how to deal with her son at this point.

"If I were you, I’d let him rot in prison for the rest of his life! A child like this isn’t here to take care of you in old age but to send you to an early grave," Zhang Yang said bluntly.

"Your words are a bit harsh," Li Lei said, unable to stomach his remarks.

Zhang Yang shrugged. "Just my honest opinion. After all, I’m not you, and I can’t think like a parent. To me, your son is an irredeemable scumbag."

These words stung Li Lei, even if just a little.

"Enough. Right now, it’s pointless to feel conflicted. If that’s the case, what’s there to agonize over? You might as well prepare for the worst," Zhang Yang advised Li Lei.

"The worst?" Li Lei froze, seemingly genuinely considering it.

Seeing that Li Lei had no intention of driving, Zhang Yang swapped seats with her directly.

A while later, Zhang Yang found himself back at the hospital. After parting ways with Li Lei, he entered through the hospital’s main doors.

Just then, a familiar voice called out, "I thought you wouldn’t come back tonight. I couldn’t get through to you over the phone."

Turning around, Zhang Yang saw that it was Xu Mengyan.

"Why are you here? How long have you been waiting?" Zhang Yang asked, given it was already quite late.
