She Lives without Regret in This Life

Chapter 922: Chapter 968: Abhorrent Attitude

It seems that Sheng Ning, that little bitch, wasn’t entirely wrong. Maybe she really shares the same fate as Shen Yu—a pawn that can be discarded by the family at any time. If they can abandon their own flesh and blood, how much more for an adopted one like her?

Hmph! Since they are heartless, they can’t blame her for being ruthless.

Group Leader Liu came in with his team, and the secretary next to him was holding a notebook. He glanced at Hai Lan on the bed and said in an official tone, ”Name?”

”Hai Lan.” Hai Lan replied indifferently with her eyes closed.

”Was it you who confronted Sheng An at the General Union Courtyard yesterday at noon and accused her of being a spy?”

”It wasn’t an accusation; she obviously is a spy.”

”We’ve thoroughly investigated Sheng An’s identity, and there’s no possibility she’s a spy.”

Hai Lan opened her eyes and looked at Group Leader Liu with disdain, ”Then there must be a mistake in your investigation, a lack of competence.”

”Do you have any evidence? Accusing someone requires evidence. If you can provide evidence, we will accept it.”

”Accept what? Jail or execution?”

Group Leader Liu’s official facade finally cracked, and his look at Hai Lan turned from goodwill to disapproval. What’s with this girl? Is she deliberately being uncooperative? Or does she have a grudge against Sheng An, taking the opportunity for revenge?

”Comrade Hai Lan, please mind your attitude.” The secretary next to him reprimanded, ”We are here to question you, and as a comrade, show some quality.”

”Show you? Who do you think you are? Why should I show you any attitude?”

The secretary turned red with embarrassment from being insulted.

Group Leader Liu signaled him to stop talking, then calmly said, ”Comrade Hai Lan, I am the group leader, and you have yet to be promoted. When speaking with senior leaders, your attitude is indeed an issue.”

”What attitude? What’s wrong with my attitude?” Hai Lan said leisurely, ”Isn’t that secretary on the same level as me? I did nothing wrong! Group Leader, rest assured, I’ll definitely be polite when speaking with you.”

Group Leader Liu took a deep breath. Before setting out, he had played rock-paper-scissors with President Zhu to divide the tasks. He had won and chosen Hai Lan, feeling smug and even mocking Fatty Zhu.

He hadn’t expected this Hai Lan to be just as difficult to deal with.

”Please describe the events that took place.”

”Sure, Group Leader.” Hai Lan said with a fake smile, ”I had just come back, entered the courtyard, and saw someone sneaking around suspiciously. Moreover, she was holding a very short pencil and sketching. What else could she be if not a spy?”

”Sketching?” Group Leader Liu asked in confusion, ”Why didn’t you mention this earlier?”

”I had just been stabbed before; how could I remember so clearly? Isn’t it because you came for the investigation that I thought of it?”

”Go on.”

”Then I went up to stop her, and she cleverly argued back. Later on, she accidentally fell, and the gun she was hiding in her pocket fell out. You know the rest.”

”Are there such coincidences in the world?”

”Group Leader, you’re being obviously biased, aren’t you?”

Group Leader Liu sneered, ”Comrade Hai Lan, have a good rest. We’ll come back if there are more questions.”

Hai Lan said nothing and just closed her eyes to rest.

The secretary’s face turned livid with anger.

Group Leader Liu gave a signal with his eyes and left with his team. Outside the door, Hai Shuangjie was still waiting. He hurriedly greeted, ”Chairman Hai.”
