Chapter 52 Zheng Jie: Brother, yes, you're innocent, so what?

"Miss Su, are you listening? I know you might suspect I'm a scammer right now, but if you don't believe me, please come over. Once you're here, you'll know whether this is real or fake."

Hearing this, Su Qiaoer's face was full of displeasure.

Zheng Tian committed coercion? That's a massive joke.

This was not something the Zheng Tian she knew would ever do.

Beside her, the Su Parents noticed that the expression on Su Qiaoer's face was a bit off. They glanced at each other, then put down the phones in their hands and looked at their daughter.

"I know, I will go."

Hanging up the phone, Su Qiaoer's expression was dark and uncertain.

"Girl, what's wrong? Did something happen?"

The Su Parents' tone was filled with anxiety. They truly couldn't accept any more accidents happening now; if there were another, they reckoned they would collapse.

"Mom, the police just called me and said... Zheng Tian forced himself on someone..."

"What?"

Mrs. Su stood up abruptly upon hearing this, and Father Su's face was filled with shock.

"How is this possible... What exactly is going on?"

"I don't know. They asked us to go over there immediately, saying it's to assist with the investigation."

Thinking of this, Su Qiaoer felt a mix of complicated emotions.

Why did this kind of thing happen again?

But there was no other way; Su Qiaoer had to hurry over there. Meanwhile, the Zheng Parents had also learned the news, and their reaction was much the same.

They didn't believe it either, but disbelief didn't change the fact that they had to rush over.

Therefore, both families were currently rushing toward that location.

"I am truly innocent."

In the interrogation room, Zheng Tian's tone was one of total breakdown.

He hadn't forced anyone at all; it was clearly that girl who had been the initiator. So why had it suddenly turned into him forcing her?

"If it wasn't coercion, then why would she call the police?"

Call the police? Thinking of this, Zheng Tian's face was filled with disbelief.

He had already suspected that he was being set up, so upon hearing this, Zheng Tian was one hundred percent certain that it was a setup, although he didn't yet know who was behind it.

"You'll have to ask her that."

"Alright, let me give you a piece of advice: tell us honestly everything you did now. If you confess, you might be able to strive for leniency, but if we have to find it out ourselves, then it won't be so easy."

Hearing this, Zheng Tian's expression was dark and uncertain.

"What am I supposed to say? I never did this thing at all. Are you trying to force me to admit to it? I've already said, this is a frame-up."

Seeing Zheng Tian's strong reaction, the few staff members looked at each other.

"Since you still have this attitude, you should calm down for a while. Let's go."

After saying this, the staff members immediately left the place.

Watching their retreating figures, Zheng Tian felt like he was falling apart.

"Who is it? Who on earth is framing me?"

"Zheng Jie, is it you?"

"Damn it, damn it."

At this moment, Zheng Tian was feeling quite furious. If Zheng Jie were in front of him, he would have hesitated to take him down, but unfortunately, he no longer had that opportunity.

Finally, the Zheng Parents and the Su Parents arrived. After entering, Su Qiaoer looked at the Zheng Parents with a complex expression on her face.

"Mom and Dad, what exactly is the situation?"

Su Qiaoer was unwilling to admit this in her heart.

After all, he was her white moonlight—the one she had waited for years, and for whom she had even divorced Zheng Jie. How could he possibly have done such a thing?

"Su Qiaoer, don't get too emotional. We just found out about this too."

Father Zheng was also in a state of confusion.

Because this matter had come too suddenly.

It hadn't even given them any time to react. Hearing this, Su Qiaoer took a deep breath, forcing herself to calm down. She knew that at this moment, she absolutely could not panic.

At this moment, a staff member walked over from outside.

"Are you the family members of Zheng Tian?"

"It's us. What happened to my son?"

"We just received a report that your son was involved in coercing another person, and... the victim is currently still in the Hospital, undergoing treatment... So, the main reason we asked you to come today is to have you assist with the investigation."

Mrs. Zheng stood up abruptly upon hearing this.

"Impossible. My son would never do such a thing, no matter what. This is a frame-up."

The staff member took a deep breath.

"Whether it's a frame-up is not for you to decide, nor is it for us to decide; it's up to the evidence. If you believe this is a frame-up, then cooperate with our investigation."

Because of these words, these people gradually calmed down. Yes, what was the point of being anxious or angry at this moment? They could only cooperate with the investigation.

The whole process took about an hour. When the Su Family and the Zheng Family walked out of the room, their faces were all grim.

"When will my son be able to come out?"

"He is currently still under investigation."

"At the very least, can we see my son?"

"Sorry, that's not allowed. According to regulations, until the whole matter is investigated clearly, you and the suspect cannot meet."

Suspect.

Upon hearing this word associated with their son, the Zheng Parents stumbled.

"In any case, you should head back. If there is anything needing your cooperation for the investigation, we will call you at any time."

After saying this, the staff member turned and left. Watching the staff member's retreating figure, Su Qiaoer frowned tightly.

Is it a frame-up? Zheng Jie? Or someone else?

Su Qiaoer felt that the one most likely to be suspected was definitely Zheng Jie. The reason was simple: Zheng Jie hated Zheng Tian. Ever since she had chosen to divorce, Zheng Jie had hated him. Therefore, Zheng Jie definitely had the potential to do this, and he also had the ability to pull it off.

Then, apart from Zheng Jie, the family members of those who had followed Father Zheng to force Zheng Jie to abdicate but were sent to Prison could also have done it. Because they also hated Father Zheng's incompetence for leaving their family members in Prison, there was also a probability that they could have done this.

It's just that Su Qiaoer didn't dare to think about one thing... What if this matter was true? If Zheng Tian was really that kind of person, then what would happen...

At this moment, Su Qiaoer took a deep breath.

"I'm going out to make a call."

After saying this, ignoring their response, Su Qiaoer went straight outside. She looked at her phone, hesitated for a moment, and then dialed Zheng Jie's number.

Soon, the call connected.

"Zheng Jie, did you do this?"
