Chapter 682: Deception

Deception

“Well, I haven’t finished. He suffered in school because other kids were sneering at him, and I thought that if Pingliang continued to suffer, he might turn insane and do actions that he might regret. He is the only son I have!” Zhong Fabai continued, “So I contacted a black agency and bought another kidney for Pingliang. He just finished his kidney transplant and he’s resting inside!”

“You bought another kidney for him? And he just finished the transplant?” Liu Wangli was even more shocked. So Zhong Pingliang had surgery immediately after he poisoned students? What efficiency!

“I also know that it’s illegal to purchase organs through agencies, but you should be able to understand my feelings as a parent!” Zhong Fabai sighed, “If you are going to penalize someone, penalize me. I can’t let Pingliang return his kidney. He can’t afford to lose it! He just restored his confidence as a man and started to cheer up again. Please don’t ruin his life!”

Liu Wangli found it strange. What did it sound so weird? Did Zhong Pingliang poison the food or not?

“About the agency… I will pretend that I don’t know about it. However, there are other things I would like to ask Zhong Pingliang. May I talk to him alone?” Liu Wangli asked. Since Zhong Pingliang already had the kidney transplant, there was no point to look into the agency further since he was already a victim.

“Yes, of course, you can! Please persuade him and restore his confidence so he can go back to school again!” Zhong Fabai agreed.

Liu Wangli nodded. He walked into the room and saw Zhong Pingliang laying on the hospital bed.

Zhong Pingliang naturally saw Liu Wangli who was dressed in uniform. He hesitated slightly and greeted him gloomily, “Hello, officer. If you are here to ask me to help to collect evidence for the kidney trafficking company. I don’t want to go. I don’t want to lose face them again, and I’ve had enough. I don’t want them to seek revenge on me! But, if you are asking about the school’s coma event, I confess that I did it, but that was not my real intention… Really, I didn’t think the consequences would be this severe…”

Liu Wangli froze at Zhong Pingliang’s straightforward confession. He didn’t think that Zhong Pingliang would confess the moment he stepped into the room! It seemed like he accumulated too much stress and confessed everything.

The psychological tactics he prepared didn’t come into use. Instead, Liu Wangli believed that there were more to the story. Because of his sympathy for Zhong Pingliang as a victim, he didn’t want a high school boy to become a criminal.

Perhaps, there was more behind it? According to him, if it wasn’t his real intention, then what was it?

“Zhong Pingliang, I don’t know what your real intention is, but since you confessed that you were the one who poisoned the students, do you know what kind of consequence you will take? It’s murder. Do you know how heavy the charges will be?” Liu Wangli scolded seriously.

“I didn’t know it was poison… I really didn’t, and I didn’t want it to end like this… Sorry, I’m sorry…” Zhong Pingliang grabbed his hair in pain and vexed.

“You didn’t know it was poison? Then tell me what exactly happened.” Liu Wangli frowned and asked.

“But if I tell you, you will arrest my relative. I didn’t know what he gave me was poison…” Zhong Pingliang seemed to be in distress, but in fact, he revealed more important “clues”.

A light flashed across Liu Wangli’s eyes. As expected, there were more behind the story. If that was the case, it meant that Zhong Pingliang wasn’t the mastermind behind it. From what he said, he was also a victim? Hence, Liu Wangli spoke, “Zhong Pingliang, you must tell me the truth right now, or, you are taking responsibility for other people’s crime, do you understand? However, this really has nothing much to do with you, we can decrease your penalty. There might not even be a penalty considering that it is your first time and a patient!”

“Ah…” Zhong Pingliang sighed and hesitated for quite a while before speaking, “If you don’t penalize me, will you penalize my relative? Will he be sentenced to death?”

“If this has nothing too much to do with you, your penalty may be decreased or you might have no penalties at all. However, if your relative is the mastermind, then he will take the charges. Whether he will be sentenced to death or not depends on his motive and attitude towards admitting his fault. Of course, it will also depend on the court’s final judgment!” Liu Wangli replied.

“Fine. You’ll find out from investigation even if I don’t tell you,” Zhong Pingliang nodded and recalled, “It all started from the time my kidney was taken away! My classmates all laughed at me after I lost my kidney and they looked at me strangely. Some of them even secretly said that I wasn’t a ‘whole’ man anymore but a eunuch! Some of them even mocked me that I sold my kidney for an ID. It made me lose all my dignity! I loathe them, and they are such bad people. They don’t understand how painful it was. They don’t understand how ashamed I felt. I hate them…”

“And then?” Liu Wangli nodded and began to feel sorry for Zhong Pingliang. He already lost a kidney and others mocked him for it.

“I paid for everyone to hang out by the ocean, but they treat me like that? They mocked me and I hate them, so I wanted revenge!” Zhong Pingliang’s eyes burned with fury.

“Continue. How did you plan to take revenge?” Liu Wangli pondered. Was it the motive behind his action?

“I didn’t know how to avenge for myself and at this time, but one of my relatives came to visit me. I told him my thoughts and he said that he would help me out. He said that he would take care of everything! He helped me construct a plan to tease them. He told me to put laxative in their food, so they will have to go to the toilet during class, and all the toilets in school will be full of people. If they poop their pants, they will lose all their dignity! They would know how painful it is to be mocked by others! I could laugh at them all I want…”

“Laxative?” Liu Wangli frowned. If Zhong Pingliang only put laxatives in their food, what he did couldn’t be considered an offense. If there were no severe effects, it was only mischief, a prank!

“Yes. But I didn’t know where to buy laxatives from, and I didn’t dare to buy them randomly. I was afraid that my classmates won’t be hurt if the dosage was too strong!” Zhong Pingliang nodded.
