8: The sisters' questioning

While Lin Zifeng was staring blankly at the bedsheet, preoccupied with his thoughts, Chen Yuqing, who had stepped out, also woke up Chen Yuxi.

Chen Yuxi had many questions she wanted to ask her, but she was interrupted.

"Don't ask anything yet. Put on your clothes first, and then we'll talk slowly."

Chen Yuxi nodded, and The two sisters quickly got dressed.

After getting fully dressed, Chen Yuxi took Chen Yuqing's hand, sat on the sofa, and finally asked, "Sis, is that man still here?"

Chen Yuqing nodded and glanced at the inner room door.

"Then do you know who he is? I vaguely remember you calling him Lin Zifeng last night. Do you know him?"

Chen Yuxi pressed the question.

"I do know this person. I met him once. He is Zhang Yuhao's Secretary, Lin Zifeng."

Facing her younger sister, she didn't hide anything.

"What? He's actually Zhang Haoyu's Secretary? Is this a coincidence, or is there something else going on?"

In an instant, Chen Yuxi thought of many possibilities, and countless thoughts began to sprout in her heart.

"The moment I saw him, I also thought of many things, but his expression at the time didn't seem fake.

If he really had something to do with this matter, he wouldn't have turned around and left immediately upon seeing me."

Chen Yuqing said thoughtfully.

"Sis, human hearts are wicked! Who knows if he was just playing hard to get?"

"But if this matter was truly coordinated by him and Zhang Haoyu, what benefit would Zhang Haoyu gain?

Is he so cold-blooded that he would let another man harm us sisters, just trying to get leverage over us?"

Suspicion also arose in Chen Yuqing's heart.

"Sis, don't forget, you and Zhang Haoyu are only husband and wife in name, so anything is possible."

"If that's the case, I will make sure Lin Zifeng wishes he could die but cannot."

Chen Yuqing said, gritting her teeth.

"And we can't let the main culprit, Zhang Yuhao, off easily either. I've never even dated before growing up, and now I've lost my innocence so inexplicably. I truly hate it."

Chen Yuxi also said fiercely.

With this, The two sisters reached an agreement and waited for Lin Zifeng to come out so they could determine the whole story.

Lin Zifeng, now fully dressed in the room, controlled his expression and thought to himself: If it's fortune, it's not calamity; if it's calamity, it can't be avoided. No matter what, he had to face it.

So, having prepared himself mentally, he pushed open the door and walked out.

He saw the two women sitting side by side on the sofa, staring at him with frosty expressions; the gentle affection of last night had long vanished from their pretty faces.

He secretly calmed himself down, sat directly opposite the two women, and met their gaze without flinching. The atmosphere in the room instantly became strange.

"Do you believe that if I call the police and let them handle this, I guarantee I can make you rot in prison?"

Chen Yuqing was the first to break the silence, preemptively saying in a cold voice while taking out her phone.

Lin Zifeng's expression remained unchanged, but his eyes narrowed, and his body tensed for a moment before quickly relaxing.

He said somewhat dejectedly, "I know you have that ability, but the police need evidence, right? You can't just convict me based solely on your side of the story."

"Didn't you and Zhang Yuhao plan and coordinate this together?"

Chen Yuxi couldn't help but say.

Hearing her words, Lin Zifeng was stunned, a thousand questions appearing in his mind. He subconsciously said, "What does what happened last night have to do with County Magistrate Zhang?

Isn't County Magistrate Zhang still cooperating with the Discipline Inspection Commission investigation? How could he have conspired with me?"

Hearing what he said, the two women exchanged glances. Chen Yuqing thought, 'That's right! Yesterday, after picking up Zhang Yuhao, they all came to this hotel together. The two of them didn't have a chance to meet, did they?'

'Did they coordinate via phone? That possibility isn't high either, is it? Throughout the evening, Zhang Yuhao only left my sight for a few minutes before the second round of dishes was served.'

'Could they have devised such a conspiracy in such a short time? Highly unlikely.'

'Besides, it was obvious that Lin Zifeng drank a lot last night; he even thought he was hallucinating when he saw us sisters.'

'Could I really have wronged him?'

Thinking of this, she asked again, "Then how did you enter our room yesterday? And how did you know that The two sisters were staying here?"

"I had no idea you were staying here. Entering this room was absolutely a misunderstanding."

He said quickly.

"A misunderstanding? Then explain properly how this misunderstanding happened."

"How could it be such a coincidence?"

Chen Yuxi looked at him, her face full of suspicion, and said.

"This is a long story. Because County Magistrate Zhang and I were both taken away by the Discipline Inspection Commission, the news spread like wildfire throughout the County Party Committee and County Government compound.

After I returned to the County Government, people were pointing fingers and gossiping about me. Furthermore, my girlfriend broke off our engagement directly at my house because of this incident, so I was in a terrible mood.

Therefore, I wanted to find a place to vent my feelings, so I came to this hotel.

Because I drank too much and was afraid of worrying my family, I lied and claimed I had business at the office and was staying overnight there, so I checked into a room here.

The front desk attendant can testify. After she finished my check-in procedure, I took the room card and went upstairs.

I originally remembered it was Room 309, but I couldn't open the door no matter what.

I took a closer look and saw that the card in my hand was for Room 306. I thought I had remembered the room number incorrectly, so I used the card and successfully opened the door to 306.

What happened afterward, you both already know."

Lin Zifeng roughly recounted the entire process.

Hearing his account, the two women said in unison, "Are you telling the truth?"

"I promise, everything I said is true. This hotel only opened half a year ago, and both the front desk and the upstairs corridors are equipped with surveillance cameras.

With your connections, it shouldn't be hard to find out the truth via video. The surveillance footage can corroborate whether what I said is true or false."

He said decisively.

Seeing his resolute expression, the two women believed eighty or ninety percent of what he said.

They both knew that if he were lying, the deception would only last for a short while before being exposed.

Chen Yuqing spoke again, "Take out your room card and let us see it."

He took the room card out of his pocket and placed it in front of the two women.

Seeing that it was indeed the room card for 306, Chen Yuqing spoke again, "We will verify what you said immediately.

If you dare to lie and deceive us, even if you flee to the ends of the earth, you will certainly be caught and made to face the severest punishment."

Seeing that the other party intended to let him go, Lin Zifeng was overjoyed and quickly said, "If I have spoken a single falsehood, may I die a terrible death.

Even if I were executed, I would deserve it."
