“I was indeed the one who had been following Mrs. Zhan. My family situation is special, my brother is critically ill, and I need a lot of money. So when that man approached me, I agreed. I initially thought it was just to scare them, not to harm anyone, so I didn’t think too much about it.”
Wang Hua looked at Wei Yumeng with some apology.
Zhan Mohan asked, “Can you still recognize the man who directed you?”
Wang Hua nodded with certainty, “I can.”
In fact, this process had been discussed between Zhan Mohan and Wang Hua. Wang Hua originally didn't know Kai’s appearance, but since they had already tested that Kai was indeed the person, then pointing him out here would not be wronging Kai.
Zhan Mohan took out a photo of Kai, “Take a look, is it this person?”
Wang Hua immediately nodded, “It’s this person.”
Everyone was in an uproar. Although many of them did not understand Kai well, they had heard about the relationship between Catherine and Kai.
“Even if Kai did this, so what? Shouldn’t you be looking for him?” Catherine retorted.
Zhan Mohan nodded, “You make a good point, but that’s only if Kai is the mastermind behind this whole plan. As I said before, given your relationship with Kai, you could have easily used him as your pawn and killed with a borrowed knife.”
“What nonsense are you talking about? I don’t like him at all, and I never will. Let alone continue to have any relationship with him. After what happened before, he knows what I’ve done, and he even hurt me that day. I will not forgive him.”
Zhan Mohan frowned slightly. This was the most difficult part for him now. He had originally planned to find concrete evidence to prove their connection in this matter, but Wei Yumeng’s impulsive arrival to settle the score had disrupted his plan.
At this moment, Kai, having broken free from the guards outside, barged in.
“I did it. I admit it. I couldn’t stand what you did to Linlin, so I wanted to teach you a lesson.” Kai readily took all the blame.
Catherine looked at Kai with gratitude, while Kai, worried about revealing anything, deliberately avoided looking at Catherine.
“I like Linlin, and this feeling has never changed. After I hurt her that day, I regretted it immensely, but Linlin simply wouldn’t forgive me. So I wanted to get revenge for Linlin, so she could see that I’ve always had her best interests at heart, and maybe we’d have a chance to be together.”
Kai took a deep breath and continued, “The cause of that incident was entirely because of you, Zhan Mohan and Wei Yumeng! Even if I was indeed deceived by Catherine, so what? What does it have to do with you? You were just a piece in your plan. From beginning to end, I only wanted to be with Linlin. Now she hates me completely, and there’s no point for me to stay here.”
Kai decided to go all out. He walked up to the bodyguards, “I am willing to admit to everything I’ve done. Take me to the police station.”
Zhan Mohan felt a headache coming on. He knew very well that Kai was only instigated by Catherine, but he had no way to prove their connection here.
“You’re lying,” Fang Xun stepped forward at this moment. “After what happened before, I’ve met you two together at least twice.” As he spoke, Fang Xun opened his phone, displaying a scene of Kai and Catherine at a coffee shop.
Furthermore, it was not difficult to see that their relationship seemed very intimate, with Kai holding Catherine’s hand, and Catherine not resisting.
“You don’t need to worry about these photos being fabricated. Phone cameras display the time.”
Catherine and Kai stiffened. They never expected that Fang Xun had seen them meeting.
“It was just a coincidence that I took their photo. I was working out of town those days, and unexpectedly ran into them. This should be enough to show that the two of you indeed kept in contact afterward.”
“I… we are indeed dating.” Catherine knew that with the evidence now so conclusive, it was impossible to gloss over it, so she simply admitted her relationship with Kai.
“After that incident, I realized my mistake, so I asked Kai out again and told him my true feelings. We opened up to each other for the first time, and then we got together.”
Upon hearing Catherine’s confession, Kai’s eyes softened even more.
“But even so, so what? It only proves that we two have been in contact, it doesn’t prove that the incident has anything to do with me.”
Kai also nodded, “That incident was indeed done by me, and it has nothing to do with Linlin.”
The people present looked at each other. They were not fools, having survived in the business world for so long. They could see the situation clearly. In fact, they all knew that Catherine was problematic.
If this matter had nothing to do with her, she wouldn’t have given inconsistent accounts of her relationship with Kai. Wasn’t this a sign of guilt?
However, in the current situation, Zhan Mohan seemed to have no substantial evidence to prove Catherine’s involvement. Thus, the matter could only be concluded with Kai as the mastermind.
Wei Yumeng glanced at Zhan Mohan, who also shook his head. It seemed that for now, they could only settle for this.
Perhaps after they handed Kai over to the police, the police might discover something else.
But just then, Zhan Mohan’s phone rang. It was an email, and the content of the email was a surveillance video. Zhan Mohan hadn’t expected it to arrive just in time. He had specifically asked someone to check the surveillance footage earlier, but the workload was immense and there had been no response. It seemed the reply had finally come.
Zhan Mohan opened the video and watched the content briefly, then handed it to Fang Xun. Fang Xun immediately understood and played the video from his phone on the large screen. The video showed Catherine and Kai at the coffee shop. Catherine and Kai were talking, but their voices were unclear due to the ambient noise. Fang Xun activated audio processing software in front of everyone, finally making their conversation public.
“They’ve already caught the person you hired…”
