Reborn as a Good Child

122. Give Me an Explanation

"His history of mental illness is true," YiHan said. "I'm not surprised at how the case was closed. What I'm concerned about is his statement. Was there anything of value? Was this incident really just incited by Tao Qi? I don't want to see anyone else threatening my sister and my brother-in-law again."

Fang Yi stepped through the door that was held open for him and sat down on the sofa just beyond. "At the moment, yes," he said, nodding his head. "With his situation, his statement cannot be used as direct proof. However, I have always felt he had the ability to make his own judgement. He should actually be held accountable for his own actions. Other than his nonsensical ramblings and unrealistic, over-agitated delusions, he hasn't lost the ability to think logically." He scoffed. "At the very least, the man knew he had a history of mental illness, so he won't be charged with any crime. He'd been rather carefree during his entire time in jail. His mother also kicked up a huge fuss."

"What's his explanation for this incident?" JingYuan asked.

"He thinks that just because he'd fallen in love with Bai XueQing, then she should be his woman. However, Miss Bai would never acknowledge him. She never even accepted his confession of love. That made him extremely unsatisfied with Miss Bai. And then he was fired by the Bai Group due to personal reasons. We all know Miss Bai never knew of his existence or of him being laid-off. Still, he thinks it's because Miss Bai is a gold-digger. She disliked his poverty, so abandoned him and oppressed him. He'd been furious with indignation after being sacked. He thinks it's Miss Bai's fault for she was an immoral woman. Due to his constantly unstable emotions, he would always encounter problems with the work he found later on. This increased his anger and depression. But in his mind, he still understood the difference between his and Miss Bai's social ranks. Thus, he'd only ever curse her out behind her back. He never dared to actually do anything or take revenge. That was until Tao Qi came into the scene.

"She told Wei Quan about Miss Bai dating Mr Chen. This made his anger go through the roof. He felt as if he'd been 'cheated on'. In a bid to use him as a tool, Tao Qi sacrificed her body and had sex with him for a few nights. By the end, Wei Quan thought of her as his lover. That meant she was on his side. He began to believe every word she said, without a single doubt. A few days of taunting later, Wei Quan was at his limit. This was when Tao Qi told him that due to his history of mental illness, even if he murdered someone, he wouldn't be legally held accountable. She said a man shouldn't have to bear such 'humiliation' and encouraged him to kill off Mr Chen. However, after all the preparations, right before the act, Wei Quan changed his mind. He thought that even if he killed off Mr Chen, Miss Bai can still go on and find another man. He'd be murdering someone anyway. Why not just kill Miss Bai? Then, she wouldn't be able to 'cheat on him'. Even if the Bai family were powerful enough to make him pay with his life, he could then be husband and wife with Miss Bai in the underworld."

Never could YiHan have imagined there'd be someone so shameless in this world. He was so furious that he stood up and kicked the coffee table before him. His hands were shaking. JingYuan reached up and pulled the trembling man down by his side.

"Don't be angry," JingYuan said, gently patting YiHan's shoulder. "Wei Quan would pay the price for his deeds."

Fang Yi blinked at the man. "From the looks of it, Wei Quan is just a crazy man with something wrong up there," he continued as if he'd heard nothing from JingYuan. "He was used by Tao Qi but we still can't guess what the woman's motive could be. We would need to thoroughly interrogate her first."

The officer blinked once more, leaned in close to YiHan and whispered, "Right, YiHan, she's been at your home for a while. Did you get any answers?"

Emotions flashed through YiHan's eyes at that.
