Chapter 66 I ask, you answer.
"Let me start from the beginning. It's like this: the day before yesterday, I received an invitation from Meng Jun. He said he wanted to get to know me and invited me to a club, so I went."
After we arrived... he and a few male insects led me to another private room, saying there was something even more fun there.
So I went, and after I went inside, I saw... and after sitting down for a short while, he started explaining why he had invited me. He said...
Qi Min began speaking calmly, but paused at the end, and an angry expression appeared on his face.
"what did he say?"
Seeing him like this, Fu Wen couldn't help but ask him more questions.
"He said... he said he wanted me to give him my queen! How dare he say such a thing! Tell me! Shouldn't I be angry, shouldn't I be furious?! Cough cough..."
Qi Min's breathing became unsteady as he raised his voice, looking up angrily at the two people waiting for his answer.
When Fu Wen and Kong Fei heard Qi Min say this, and saw that he was so angry that he started coughing again, they were shocked.
The seriousness on their faces instantly vanished. Realizing it was their own negligence—their failure to clarify the cause—their anger subsided considerably.
Originally, I just wanted to ask questions and leave according to procedure, but I didn't expect to hear such a big scoop. I was shocked and then I saw Qi Min coughing because of his excitement.
He instantly recalled the scene from yesterday morning when Qi Min was questioned by Ling Yi because he was weak due to his incessant coughing caused by emotional agitation.
They all stepped forward, took the medical oxygen mask from beside the hospital bed, and were about to put it on Qi Min, but Qi Min, who had slowly stopped coughing, reached out to stop them.
"I...I'm fine, I'm just really angry..."
Qi Min frowned, leaning weakly against the headboard, his breathing unsteady, looking completely furious.
"Please sit down, I'm really fine..."
Qi Min reassured them, adding that he could continue and there was no need to worry.
Kong Fei and Fu Wen, wanting to finish their questions quickly, didn't stop Qi Min from continuing his halting narration. They simply stopped pressing him for answers and listened as Qi Min slowly finished what he hadn't finished saying last time.
But as Qi Min continued speaking, their brows furrowed, and they exchanged glances several times, but neither of them interrupted.
He simply frowned, quietly recording everything Qi Min said, his doubts deepening and his expression growing more serious and solemn.
"That's roughly what happened... cough cough cough, I don't know what happened after that. When I woke up, I was already in the hospital, and the two of you arrived shortly after..."
As Qi Min spoke, he closed his eyes and spoke in a low voice, seemingly very tired.
"Your Excellency Qi Min, I would like to confirm with you once again, is this truly the whole story? Are you sure there is nothing hidden or false?
I need to remind you again that deceiving the investigation team's questions could lead to problems if it is later found that you provided false testimony.
If you are ultimately convicted and sentenced, the penalty will be doubled. I hope you understand the consequences of lying.
Kong Fei frowned and solemnly reiterated once again the serious consequences of Qi Min lying.
Fu Wen, standing beside him, also frowned and silently watched Qi Min.
Upon hearing Kong Fei's serious words, Qi Min opened his eyes and looked at the two people opposite him, his face showing no sign of panic or guilt.
Instead, his face was full of confusion, as if he didn't understand why they kept saying he was lying.
“You previously said that I concealed information or gave false testimony. I thought it was because I didn’t explain things clearly, which led to your misunderstanding.”
But I've already told you everything I know, so why are you still saying this? Is there some other reason that makes you think I'm lying?
If you have any questions, please feel free to ask me. I will definitely cooperate and answer them to the best of my ability.
Qi Min asked Kong Fei with a puzzled look, his expression appearing very sincere.
Fu Wen opened his mouth as if he wanted to say something, but in the end he didn't make a sound.
"No, we will compile and submit your testimony today. If you have nothing to add, please do not submit it."
We'll take our leave now. If we have any further questions, we'll come back again.
After Kong Fei finished speaking, he stood up, indicating that the conversation was over.
Fu Wen also got up, nodded to Qi Min, and followed Kong Fei out, leaving Qi Min looking at their departing figures with a puzzled expression.
After the two went out, they saw Ling Yi standing not far from the ward, looking at them with a packed meal in his hand. When he saw them come out, he walked towards them.
The two bowed and tried to avoid him, but Ling Yi stopped them. Then they saw Ling Yi instruct one of the female guards at the door to help deliver the food to Qi Min.
Then he gestured for the two of them to go aside and talk, but they said awkwardly that it was inconvenient.
"Don't worry, I won't make things difficult for you. I won't ask questions I shouldn't ask."
After Ling Yi finished speaking, he walked to the side and waited for them to come over.
Seeing this, the two realized they couldn't avoid it and had no choice but to follow.
"When you went in, you didn't look too happy. Did you speak to my lord in a bad tone?"
Ling Yi led them to a secluded spot and asked directly.
The two looked at each other, and Fu Wen took the initiative to stand up and answer.
“Commander Ling, we were just sent here for routine questioning, and all the questioning methods were approved by higher-ups…we…”
“I know, don’t give me that official talk. I just want to know if you have used any threatening words or spoken in a bad tone towards my leader.”
Ling Yi looked at the flowers and plants not far away and said in a calm tone.
"The tone... is necessary for asking questions, I hope you can understand..."
Fu Wen gave a carefully considered reply, stating that it was his duty and there was nothing he could avoid.
"So you're saying you've threatened my lord?"
Ling Yi withdrew his gaze from admiring the flowers and plants, and instead looked at Fu Wen, whose face showed embarrassment because of his words.
"Commander Ling, your male master is the main male involved in the case, and specific questioning is necessary. I hope you can understand."
Seeing this, Kong Fei stepped forward and answered Ling Yi's question for Fu Wen.
Ling Yi was drawn in by his words, turned her gaze to Kong Fei with a calm expression, but did not respond.
Kong Fei's eyes narrowed as he looked down at Ling Yi's seemingly calm but actually oppressive gaze, avoiding eye contact with Ling Yi.
They were just low-level members of the investigation team, good at investigating things and dealing with the various trivial matters caused by male insects, but they were no match for Ling Yi's battle-hardened aura.
Even if Ling Yi remained calm and silent, it was still something that female insects like them, who had never experienced any bloody battles, could withstand...
