Yes, Wu Jun had completely changed.
Previously when she was at my place, she had long hair tied neatly at the back of her head.
Now, she had a crew cut, dyed white, and a large tattoo on her left cheek that resembled a birthmark.
Plus, she was clad in men’s blue work clothes.
If you didn’t look carefully, it would be hard to recognize her.
At that moment, full of raging fury, I wanted to storm over her and demand why she did what she did to me and the child.
But I held back.
Because it would spook her, perhaps leading to her escaping.
I quietly retreated to a corner, found a deserted spot, and called Ding Yinuo.
“Come to Plum Garden Crematorium, there’s a surprise waiting for you!’ Now that I had backup, all there was left to do was wait.
With my current status, I truly had no way of overtly capturing Wu Jun. If the news were to leak, Gu Yuanzhou would certainly question why I wanted to apprehend Wu Jun.
This kind of situation was better handled by Ding Yinuo.
True to his nature, Ding Yinuo was prompt. He arrived less than twenty minutes after receiving the call.
“What surprise?”
With my arms folded, I pointed towards the backyard.
At that moment, Wu Jun was cleaning the backyard trash with Mrs. Ye, chatting about something while lowering her head, completely oblivious to our presence.
Initially, Ding Yinuo didn’t recognize her
“Are you joking? Are you asking me to take this old woman away?”
“The other one…
With patience, I revealed the truth,
“Wu Jun, that nanny… the suspect of the Golden Bay arson case.”
Ding Yinuo’s expression froze instantly, and the cigarette that was originally in his hand fell to the ground.
Then with lightning speed, he rushed towards Wu Jun.
Wu Jun was very alert. Seeing a figure running towards her, she immediately tried to flee.
However, Yinuo was more agile. With a swift move, he took down Wu Jun. Then, he raised his fist and punched her hard.
Ding Yinuo was truly furious. He seemed like he wanted to beat Wu Jun to death. I hurriedly ran up to stop him.
“That’s enough, if you continue and beat her to death, you’ll end up in jail.” Reminded by me, Ding Yinuo finally stopped.
By then, Wu Jun had been beaten black and blue, and her nose was bleeding.
Ding Yinuo stood up, grabbed the collar of Wu Jun’s shirt, and began dragging her away.
She was still resisting.
“You have no right to arrest me, I am going to call the police!”
I added,
“We have already called the police for you!’
Only then did Wu Jun calm down, squeezing into the car quietly, her eyes showed no fear.
Ding Yinuo tied both of Wu Jun’s hands and went speeding off…
However, he didn’t deliver Wu Jun to the police station. Instead, he took her
directly to Villa No. 168 in the western hills.
Then he locked the gate.
Wu Jun’s expression was calm from start to finish. She sat quietly on the sofa, silent.
Ding Yinuo took off his suit jacket and threw it onto the sofa. He rolled up his shirt sleeves, unbuckled his belt from his waist, and held it in his hand.
He yelled at Wu Jun, “Speak up, why did you set that damn fire that killed Song Yun?”
Wu Jun was calm. She turned her face to the side, not uttering a word.
Ding Yinuo got so angry he flipped a table,
“She was so young and was so good to you. Why the hell did you brutally burn her alive!”
It was quite clear.
Ding Yinuo was furious.
This response of his greatly shocked me.
I had thought that Ding Yinuo would be gloating now.
After all, the person he hated most in the past was me.
If I were to die, he should be happy, or at least relieved.
1 had imagined that he would capture Wu Jun and then get her to confess that Gu Yuanzhou was the real culprit.
This would result in Gu Yuanzhou being sent to prison.
But the man right in front of me wasn’t like that. His anger, his roar, everything indicated that he was truly heartbroken.
Especially when he had lost control and beat up Wu Jun. That was a clear venting of his emotions, as if Wu Jun had killed the woman he loved most.
At that moment, my mind couldn’t make sense of it.
I couldn’t figure out why Ding Yinuo was reacting the way he was.
Just as I saw Ding Yinuo, full of fury and danger pressuring Wu Jun to speak. Yet Wu Jun continued to remain silent. He was about to beat her with the belt again when I stepped forward to stop him.
“You phone Su Peisheng, ask him to come over here. I want to have a chat with wu Jun!’
Ding Yinuo threw his belt down angrily,
“You refuse to speak, huh? Then I’ll lock you up here, no food, no water. Let’s see how long you can stubbornly keep your mouth shut.” Having said that, he stormed off.
I untied Wu Jun and then poured her a cup of boiled water.
“We were both Song Yun’s closest friends, and her death…especially the gruesome condition of the two kids, it truly pained us. Regardless if you’re involved or not, please, for the sake of Song Yun who treated you as her family, reveal the truth, would you?”
Wu Jun didn’t drink the water, just looked at me still, then after a long time, lowered her head.
“Those two children, Xiaoyi and Zhenyi, they called you Grandma… how could you do it?”
My voice choked up.
Maybe because I hit Wu Jun’s sore spot, she became very uncomfortable, her hands clenched together, rubbing nervously.
“You must have had a tough time running and hiding, but why go through all the trouble? No matter what, you’ll have to face the law. M/hy not tell the truth?”
“You don’t seem to be a completely evil person. Song Yun often mentioned how capable and attentive you are…”
As I was saying this, Wu Jun suddenly burst into tears.
Actually, I was already crying my eyes out too.
I wished I could’ve cried out loud too.
But I couldn’t, I had to stay cool, I needed to figure out the truth.
After a long time, when Wu Jun cried herself out, I handed her a tissue.
“Don’t be afraid, just speak out truth loudly! I know you’re a good person. You were so fond of them, it couldn’t have been you, now could it? Just tell the truth to everyone, we’ll ensure your safety!”
Wu Jun nodded, then finally managed to mutter, “It wasn’t me! I didn’t do it!”
“Okay, then who was it?”
With a mournful look on her face, Wu Jun said,
“Song Yun and her family were all very good to me! I’m human, born and bred by human. To be honest, their deaths hit me hard. The two children, always clinging to me, calling me grandma. I treated them as if they were my own grandchildren, how could I possibly do it?”
“So what happened on the day of the fire? And why have you been hiding ever since?”
