Although Zhan Mohan and his men had now captured the person pretending to be illusions and talking to Wei Yumeng, they were powerless if the other party insisted on not speaking. Moreover, three days had already passed, and the person still hadn't confessed anything.
Zhan Mohan was not surprised by the other party's reaction. If he wanted to get information from him, it couldn't be as simple as just starving him. The bodyguards' actions were also implicitly approved by him.
However, he hadn't expected this person to be so strong-willed.
"Even at this point, you still refuse to confess?"
The man gritted his teeth and turned his head away, looking as if he didn't want to bother with Zhan Mohan at all.
Originally, Wei Yumeng was the victim, and Zhan Mohan had only resorted to this tactic to find out everything. But now, the other party's demeanor made Zhan Mohan appear to be the villain engaging in torture.
"It seems the mastermind has gotten their hands on something you can't afford to lose, making you work so hard for them. Is it your dark past? Your woman? Or your... family."
Zhan Mohan noticed that the man's body trembled noticeably when he mentioned family.
If that were the case, Zhan Mohan could somewhat understand why he was so persistent. If anyone's family was held hostage, they would only have this choice.
"In that case, we have a deal." Zhan Mohan pulled over a chair and sat down in front of the man. "If I can guarantee your family's safety, can you tell me who the mastermind is?"
"Can you really do it?" The man was clearly moved by Zhan Mohan's offer.
Zhan Mohan replied ambiguously, "Are you doubting my abilities?"
"Alright, if you can ensure their safety, I will tell you everything."
Zhan Mohan nodded. The deal was struck. This time, no matter who the mastermind was, he would make them pay the price.
Wei Yumeng knew that Zhan Mohan had been investigating the matter for the past few days, so she also wanted to help more.
After all, this incident started because of her, so she was the one who knew the most about it.
"Mohan, actually, the person executing this wasn't just him."
Zhan Mohan looked at Wei Yumeng. "Do you have other leads?"
"Do you remember Dr. Wang, who was my attending physician from the beginning?"
Zhan Mohan finally remembered. He had actually already suspected this person and had people looking into him.
"The day I was admitted to the intensive care unit, he came to me with sedatives and forced me to take them. He even said many hurtful things. That's why I resisted..." Wei Yumeng still felt a sense of lingering fear when she thought about it. She was in the hospital then, and nowhere was safe.
Upon hearing this, Zhan Mohan couldn't help but hold Wei Yumeng tighter. "I'm sorry. If I had discovered the problem earlier, so many things wouldn't have happened."
Wei Yumeng felt a bit helpless. She had heard Zhan Mohan apologize countless times in the past few days. Although she had been angry with Zhan Mohan for not believing her at the time, those things were in the past now. They had opened their hearts to each other, so why would Wei Yumeng continue to blame him?
Wei Yumeng gently hugged Zhan Mohan. "Don't apologize to me anymore. The fact that I'm still here now is because you saved me, isn't it?"
If Zhan Mohan hadn't appeared in time that day, she probably would have jumped into the lake.
It was only when Zhan Mohan appeared that she realized something. Even if the whole world had abandoned her, what did it matter? Those people were strangers to her, so why should she care about them?
She only needed to live for the person she loved, both for his sake and for her own.
Zhan Mohan looked at Wei Yumeng with sincere eyes. "I will never let the same thing happen again."
"Alright, I know. From the beginning, I knew that in this world, you were the only one I could rely on."
Wei Yumeng looked at Zhan Mohan tenderly, and Zhan Mohan responded with equal tenderness.
"Where were we?" Wei Yumeng couldn't help but touch her forehead. She had originally wanted to tell Zhan Mohan that Dr. Wang was suspicious, but she got sidetracked by his words.
"Right, I was talking about Dr. Wang. I was very clear-headed then. His actions towards me must be related to the mastermind. Moreover, I often heard his voice talking to that person."
Now that Wei Yumeng thought about it, those conversations weren't fabricated at all. Their plan was precisely to have Dr. Wang inject her with an excessive dose of sedatives and forcibly declare her mentally ill.
Because they were convinced that no one would believe her even if she overheard them, they spoke so carelessly.
"I've already sent people to look for Dr. Wang's whereabouts. After you injured him that time, he resigned. No one knows why, which was something I found strange at the time."
Speaking of this, Zhan Mohan couldn't help but think that if he had investigated Dr. Wang at that time, perhaps this situation wouldn't have occurred. In any case, he always found his own oversights in the entire affair.
As soon as Wei Yumeng saw Zhan Mohan frowning, she knew what he was thinking and immediately changed the subject.
"Even if that person refuses to reveal the mastermind in the end, as long as we find Dr. Wang, one of them will surely confess."
Wei Yumeng's thought process was already quite optimistic. After all, one person was so determined not to reveal anything; who could guarantee that Dr. Wang wouldn't be the same?
Zhan Mohan only nodded at Wei Yumeng's words and gave a soft "Mmm."
Seeing his unhappy expression, Wei Yumeng leaned her forehead against his. "Thanks to this ordeal, I now feel even more how fortunate it is to be with you like this."
Catherine had rarely found an excuse to go out. Previously, she had played the role of a well-behaved girl for a long time to avoid suspicion. But now, she had to meet with Kai.
She couldn't help but think that although that person might not easily tell Zhan Mohan the truth, Zhan Mohan would definitely find out his weakness, and thus, there was a possibility that he would learn everything.
"Linlin, you're here." Kai's eyes only held tenderness when he saw Catherine.
But Catherine didn't care about that at all. She was merely using Kai, and that gaze made her feel uncomfortable all over.
"I'm here today to talk about business. I went to Wei Yumeng's place earlier, and that person hasn't confessed your actions yet. Regardless, I don't want anything to happen to you." Catherine deliberately shifted the blame to Kai.
As expected, Kai was more receptive to this explanation. "I knew Linlin always cared about me."
