Kai couldn't quite believe what he was seeing in front of him, even with the doctor present.
Zhan Mohan merely watched from the side with a cold gaze.
Lu Xun placed all the documents he had brought onto the table. "These are all proof of the transaction between Miss Catherine and myself. This contract, the signature on it is also hers. She asked me to provide her with a fake pregnancy test result, and I would receive a handsome reward."
Kai looked at Lu Xun, his expression displeased. "Who exactly are you, and why are you slandering Linlin like this?"
Seeing Kai's disbelief, Lu Xun grew anxious. He knew that Zhan Mohan's task was to persuade Kai to believe him, and if he failed, his livelihood would be at stake.
"I have no reason to slander her. Everything I'm saying is true. I've even brought a simple pregnancy testing device. You can directly examine it yourselves."
Kai clenched his fists. He couldn't deny that he had already suspected this when Catherine had shown him the pregnancy test results before. But why did these people have to shatter the illusion he had been living in?
"All of you, get out. I won't believe you, not ever."
Kai's emotions became increasingly unstable. He even seemed ready to charge through the glass separating them, but fortunately, the police officers quickly restrained him.
Zhan Mohan looked at Kai, his eyes filled with disdain. "You actually knew the truth a long time ago, didn't you? You just didn't dare to face it, to believe the so-called truth, because if you did, Catherine would completely leave you."
Zhan Mohan's words struck a chord with Kai. He lowered his head and fell silent.
"Kai, have you ever considered that even if you continue to silently sacrifice for her, she has never truly cared about you?" Fang Xun added, delivering the finishing blow. "Perhaps you don't know yet, but during this period, Catherine has even compromised herself with President Gu for her project. You should know which President Gu I'm referring to."
Kai clenched his fists. "She promised me she wouldn't go to that President Gu again."
"But does her promise mean she truly won't do it again?" Fang Xun sneered. "Continuing to indulge her like this will only make her bolder. Shouldn't you be the one who knows her best?"
Zhan Mohan moved closer to Kai. "Think carefully about what you should do. Will you continue to be Catherine's puppet, or will you live for yourself in the remaining days of your life? You should know very well which path is the right one."
Even the doctor spoke up. "Young man, although I have no right to say anything, I've seen many girls like her. They usually do this to exploit relationships. You should see through it all sooner rather than later."
Kai remained silent. Instead, he said to the nearby police officer, "Let them go. I don't want to talk to them anymore."
Fang Xun glanced at Zhan Mohan, who nodded. Only then did they leave.
Outside the detention center, Lu Xun still felt a sense of unease. What was the current situation? Had he succeeded or not? Would Zhan Mohan still report him to the dean? These were all concerns for him. However, seeing Zhan Mohan's dark expression, he hesitated to ask directly, so he tried a different approach.
"Mr. Zhan, perhaps I could go back and see if there's anything else I can find to prove it?"
Zhan Mohan shook his head. "Your part in this is over. You don't need to concern yourself with this matter anymore."
Lu Xun felt like he had been granted amnesty. "Thank you, Mr. Zhan. May I leave now?"
Zhan Mohan ignored him. Lu Xun took this as implied consent and left.
"Mr. Zhan, what do we do next?"
Zhan Mohan seemed unconcerned. "Now we just need to wait. Give him some time to accept this. I believe he will give me a satisfactory answer soon."
As soon as Zhan Mohan returned home, he saw Wei Yumeng rushing towards him.
"How did it go? Did Kai confess?"
Zhan Mohan shook his head. "Not yet, but I believe it will be soon."
Wei Yumeng could have guessed this outcome. She had tried to reason with Kai many times before, but Kai seemed resolute in protecting Catherine, even resorting to self-deception. If Kai continued to choose this path, they would be helpless.
"If Kai ultimately refuses to cooperate, what will we do?"
Zhan Mohan shook his head. "He won't. I've already seen doubt in his eyes, so he will want to change his current situation. I am a man too, and in certain situations, I can understand him."
Wei Yumeng looked at Zhan Mohan with a hint of amusement. "If I were in Catherine's situation, would you still defend me like this?"
"Yes. No matter what you do, no matter how unforgivable or inexcusable it may be, I will always protect you."
Although his words touched Wei Yumeng, she still hoped to never see such a day.
"Don't worry, no matter what, I will never become a woman like Catherine, and you won't have to face that."
Zhan Mohan chuckled softly. "I know."
"So, what we need to do now is wait for his reply?"
Wei Yumeng pondered this, still feeling uneasy. After all, this waiting could go on indefinitely.
Zhan Mohan, however, stated with certainty. "After tonight, he will come to us."
Kai hadn't felt this anxious in a long time. While he had been heartbroken over Catherine's affairs before, Catherine's recent attention towards him had made him accustomed to this life. It was better to attract Catherine's attention this way than to be constantly disliked by her when they were out.
But Zhan Mohan's words were true. He was simply unwilling to accept the facts. Did he not know Catherine's true nature? She had used him many times already, so it was entirely plausible that she was using him again.
However, Kai still wished Catherine would tell him everything herself, to give him a complete closure.
Just then, the police officers on guard outside began to chat.
"Do you remember that scandal that was all over town before?"
"You mean Catherine from Feng Group and Zhan Mohan?"
"Exactly. There are still people online defending Catherine, saying Wei Yumeng should withdraw from their love."
"I never realized Miss Catherine was so manipulative, managing to hook up with a married man."
Hearing this news, Kai froze in place. Then, he desperately banged on the door. "What did you just say? What happened between Zhan Mohan and Catherine?"
The two police officers exchanged a look and walked towards him.
