Chapter 80

After Yin Guohong leaped to knock the lighter out of Hua Helar's left hand, Hua Helar also reacted. She instinctively sidestepped, evading Yin Guohong's entanglement, and quickly took two steps back. She clutched the lighter she had just picked up from the ground, ready to press it.

Jin Yunhao took a step back, extended his hands, and made a gesture to calm down.

"Don't be nervous! You still have the lighter in your hand; you can light it whenever you want. Inspector Yin Guohong, you can slowly come over, go down the stairs, and leave this to me."

Seeing Jin Yunhao's determined expression, Yin Guohong got up from the ground, glanced back at Hua Helar, sighed, and then went downstairs.

Now, only Jin Yunhao, Hua Helar, and Jin Taicun, who had not spoken a word, remained in the room.

It wasn't that Jin Taicun didn't want to speak; it was that he couldn't speak now.

He had entered the room the earliest and was directly in front of the air conditioner, inhaling a large amount of gas. He could still stand there only by relying on his strong willpower.

He had never closed his eyes, always trying to look directly at Hua Helar, hoping to convey his remorse through his eyes and to persuade her not to press the lighter.

Jin Taicun couldn't speak to persuade her, so only Jin Yunhao and Hua Helar were left to 'negotiate' in the room.

Seeing Hua Helar's emotions calm down a bit, Jin Yunhao spoke: "You should have seen Mr. Jin Taicun's sincerity. He came to apologize to you as soon as he was released from prison, hoping to gain your forgiveness. Even now, he is still persisting and trying to persuade you not to do something foolish. Moreover, I assure you that he has truly repented. Can you... give him a chance, a chance to make amends, and also let you put down the burden in your heart?"

Faced with Jin Yunhao's persuasion, Hua Helar bit her lips and shook her head, sobbing: "I don't want to, I don't want to! He hurt my husband and caused my only relative to leave. Now, you want to repent and start over? Have you thought about my husband? Have you thought about those you hurt? Do they have the chance to start over? Have you thought about it?"

Faced with Hua Helar's accusations, Jin Taicun's lips trembled, and he was extremely agitated. He suddenly collapsed against Jin Yunhao, his eyes fixed on Hua Helar, struggling to raise his hand to indicate that he wanted to go over.

Jin Yunhao understood Jin Taicun's meaning and gently and softly explained to Hua Helar: "You can see his current state; he won't harm you. I will slowly support him over. Don't get agitated; he seems to have something to say to you."

Jin Yunhao carefully moved step by step, supporting Jin Taicun to Hua Helar. He stayed behind to support Jin Taicun's weak body, keeping a distance from Hua Helar to avoid further provoking her.

After Jin Taicun and Hua Helar stared at each other for a while, Hua Helar, with tears streaming down her face, slowly raised her hand and gently placed it on Hua Helar's hand holding the lighter, mumbling: "Don't... I beg you... I'm sorry."

"Sniff... Sniff!" The moment Jin Taicun's hand touched Hua Helar's, she broke down. Her resolve crumbled in that instant.

It was Jin Taicun's eyes and his persistence that moved Hua Helar.

She gave up her revenge.

Swish.

Hua Helar sobbed, her will relaxed, and the lighter fell from her hand.

Jin Yunhao, quick to react, supported Jin Taicun to prevent him from falling, bent down, and quickly grabbed the lighter, holding it firmly in his hand.

"Phew, that was close." Jin Yunhao took a deep breath, more nervous than ever before.

"Phew, that was close." At the stairway, Shen Donghai, who had been secretly observing, also took a deep breath. He then waved to the people on the first floor, and they all rushed in.

Shen Donghai took over supporting Jin Taicun, while Yin Guohong ran over to help Hua Helar, who was squatting on the ground and sobbing. The other four police officers also helped.

The situation was quickly under control.

At this moment, Jin Chengxun finally arrived with his assistant.

"Cough, cough." Jin Chengxun walked in with a high and mighty air, attracting everyone's attention. He then instructed with a slightly raised chin: "You four, control the suspect Jin Taicun and the suspect Hua Helar for intentional murder, and take them to the Central Investigation Department of the Supreme Prosecutors' Office."

Hearing Jin Chengxun's arrogant instructions, the four police officers felt uncomfortable and somewhat despised him.

In the critical moment just now, he ran away quickly, and now that the suspects were controlled and the danger was resolved, he appeared and started to show off.

The police officers despised such prosecutors the most.

Moreover, they sympathized with Hua Helar's situation, but Jin Chengxun's tone clearly indicated that he wanted to severely punish Hua Helar to boost his performance. This made them look down on Jin Chengxun, the senior prosecutor, from the bottom of their hearts.

However, despite their disdain for Jin Chengxun and discomfort with his commanding tone, they still followed his orders.

Jin Chengxun was a first-level prosecutor, and in terms of status and power, he was incomparable to Jin Yunhao. Facing Jin Chengxun, they genuinely felt powerless to resist.

Jin Chengxun didn't care about the police officers' attitudes; he never paid attention to such things.

After instructing the four police officers, he turned to his assistant and ordered: "You two, detain and control Prosecutor Jin Yunhao, and take him back for questioning. I want to investigate his misconduct in releasing Jin Taicun, to see if he received bribes and colluded with Jin Taicun in secret."

Jin Chengxun said this to Jin Yunhao, still harboring resentment over his unfriendly attitude earlier.

Moreover, now that the situation was under control and the case was understood, he was eager to take charge of the case.

Taking Jin Taicun and Hua Helar back to the Central Special Investigation Department of the Supreme Prosecutors' Office was the best way to do so.

He thought that once the facts were established, the Criminal Department of the Jiangnan District Prosecutors' Office wouldn't dare to argue with him or the Supreme Prosecutors' Office.

As for the task assigned by his 'superior,' he considered it a trivial matter.

Don't think that Jin Yunhao has resolved this case and defused the crisis. But there were only a few people at the scene, and once he took over the case, he could control the other few and claim the case as his own: he would be the one who calmed and controlled Hua Helar, defusing the explosion case.

Jin Yunhao would have nothing to do with the case, and given that Jin Taicun bribing the prison guards was a fact, Jin Yunhao, as the prosecutor handling the case, would definitely face consequences and punishment.

In an instant, Jin Chengxun had planned his next steps.

Having worked in the prosecution system for over a decade and with the protection of his family, he had not learned much else, but he was skilled in conspiracy, entrapment, and claiming credit.

Jin Chengxun had never taken Jin Yunhao, a third-level prosecutor, seriously.

It seemed that Jin Yunhao was already thoroughly outmaneuvered.
