"Brother Xiang? Brother Xiang? It's over, it's done. How about this, I can compensate you? I'll pay! Just name your price!"
Chen hurriedly said, but I remained unmoved. I was just waiting, waiting for Zheng Yu's people to arrive.
Lu Ying left for about an hour!
Bang!
With a loud crash, a large group of armed police burst in! I smiled while Chen stood there in shock.
What... what is going on here?
Chen looked completely bewildered. Among this group of police, there was no Zheng Yu and no one I recognized.
What else could it be? You kidnapped my girlfriend, and I wouldn’t call the police?
I sneered as I gently took off my coat. To be honest, carrying a load of explosives was quite intimidating!
You called the police? As a big shot in Heihui, you actually called the cops?
Chen looked astonished, and I was immediately displeased!
What are you talking about? Who's the big shot in Heihui? I'm a law-abiding citizen! Right, Officer?
I said as I glanced at the leading officer, but he merely chuckled and said, "You also need to come with us to assist in the investigation."
Huh? Oh.
I responded with an "oh," realizing this guy wasn't playing fair.
"Xiang Dong, you better understand your position. You should know that if I fall, you won't be able to escape either!"
Chen threatened me. He was scared now; if I identified him as the kidnapper, he’d be looking at at least ten or eight years in prison. But could he threaten me? Of course not.
I knew Chen well; he feared death more than anything. If I died, he would too—he wouldn’t dare! He would rather live and serve time than go down with me!
I sneered and said nothing as the police took me away. I knew Zheng Yu would arrange for me to have a chance to talk to Chen.
Sure enough, once we arrived at the police station, all my dynamite was removed. Chen shouted that he wanted a lawyer, but no officer paid him any mind. They made some excuse that this situation required the director's personal interrogation and locked him in a guard room with me.
Yes.
Alone!
Damn it!
I suddenly snapped!
I went up and slapped Chen hard across the face! It felt so good!
Chen let out a scream that resembled the wailing of a slaughtered pig!
"Call the police! Help!" The more he yelled, the more excited I became. His threats to violate my girlfriend filled me with rage! Today, right now, I was going to unleash all my fury on him!
He had been protesting and refusing to be alone with me, but this was precisely what the police had arranged. Who would pay him any mind?
"Ah! Help! There's been a murder! A murder!" Chen cried out in despair!
But it was useless! No one would listen to him; he was now my punching bag! Old grudges? Damn it, I was settling them all tonight!
So you think you're tough, huh? Kidnapping my girlfriend? Hitting her too?
I grabbed Chen by the collar, a cruel smile spreading across my face as I looked at him.
Chen trembled! He was genuinely scared! In his eyes, I had always been a madman! Now he was alone in a room with a dangerously aggressive lunatic!
"Xiang Dong, Xiang Dong, I was wrong! I'll pay you whatever you want! Please let me go!" Chen pleaded with me repeatedly, devoid of any dignity. I sneered; I truly didn't understand how someone like him, so cowardly and afraid of death, could rise to be a big shot under Heihui!
Or perhaps Chen was once talented in his youth? Did he become numb to the bloodshed of being a man after enjoying power and influence?
This isn't about money; I want you dead!
I yanked on Chen's collar, wearing a smile that was both cruel and nearly insane! I wanted to scare him to death! To make him retreat infinitely! To force him into submission with no other choice!
"No, no, please! Don't!" Chen cried like a frightened child, tears streaming down his face. I smiled with satisfaction, but I showed no mercy! It was time for a brutal beating!
Damn it!
I kicked!
I punched!
I slapped his face repeatedly!
It was violent but immensely satisfying because I hated Chen enough for crossing my bottom line as a man! I couldn't tolerate it!
After about ten minutes of beating, Chen lay on the ground, bruised and battered. I let out a breath of relief and sat down, rolling up my blood-stained sleeves as I asked Chen,
"How's that? Want to die?"
"I don't want to, I don't want to," Chen murmured.
I chuckled and continued, "It's not that I can't let you go. Right now, you have only two choices in front of you. First, I accuse you of kidnapping; you'll end up in prison, but I'll ensure your safety. Second, I accuse you of kidnapping, and if you refuse, you'll expose my theft of the fake currency template. In return, I'll reveal the truth about Ning Chuan's death, and we'll all go down together."
I smiled at Chen, who had been thoroughly beaten down by me and now showed no signs of defiance. For him, it was a matter of choosing between two evils—better to live than to die!
"You have no other choice!"
Chen hesitated. At my loud shout, he trembled; I had scared him into submission.
"I choose... I choose..." he said almost in tears. The once-glorious Kyoto Master was now reduced to this small prison cell. From now on, there would be no more Chen in Kyoto. Tian Ye Gang would no longer have Chen Duozhu!
From now on, I, Xiang Dong, would rise step by step in Kyoto! Sooner or later, I would bring down this criminal organization and avenge Linna!
I spent a night in prison with Chen. We aligned our stories because it was certain that someone from Tian Ye Gang would come to inquire about what had happened.
The nature of this incident was quite severe. Chen was terrified that if he were confirmed guilty of kidnapping, even without my exposure of Ning Chuan's crimes, Tian Ye Gang would still eliminate him.
But I assured him that as long as he cooperated with me, I could guarantee his safety!
He had no other choice but to comply with me! Following my instructions to ensure his safety wasn't difficult; as long as he was in prison and the police were willing, there would be ways to keep him safe.
Chen cried throughout the night, and I gradually fell asleep listening to his sobs, sleeping soundly.
The next day, both Chen and I were brought out for interrogation.
"Xiang Dong, right? I know about your situation, but others don’t. You did well this time; however, we still have to put you through some trouble. We will charge you with possession of explosives and wait for someone from Tian Ye Gang to bail you out," the officer said with a smile.
I nodded in understanding; this was part of the act we had to play.
"But for reporting the kidnapping case, Tian Ye Gang might take action against you. Have you thought about how to handle that?" the officer asked.
I shook my head with a smile. "No."
"But even if they do take action against me because of this incident, it shouldn't be too serious, right?"
I laughed and said that reporting it didn't violate any rules; after all, Tian Ye Gang hadn’t prohibited calling the police.
"Well then, it shouldn’t be too serious," the officer replied with a grin. He even ordered takeout for me—quite a feast—allowing me to enjoy a good meal while waiting for someone from Tian Ye Gang to bail me out.
Chen didn’t receive such favorable treatment on his end.
He was finished.
The police informed me that, to ensure my safety, Chen would be monitored day and night before the trial, to prevent him from revealing the matter of me stealing the template. After the trial, Chen would be transferred to a prison in another region, where no one would know his whereabouts. They would also assign someone to supervise him, keeping an eye on him until I had dealt with Tian Ye Gang.
This was also to ensure Chen's safety; he would definitely cooperate now. He couldn't be sure if Tian Ye Gang would eliminate him because of this incident. He would prefer to stay far away from Tian Ye Gang and avoid any interaction with them.
Moreover, the police wouldn’t allow anyone to see Chen! The unified statement I had prepared with him last night was no longer useful.
What could I say about this?
Very well!
That afternoon, someone from Tian Ye Gang arrived—it was Miss Fang. Upon seeing me, she asked what exactly had happened.
Why did you and Chen have such a huge conflict? Why did he want to eliminate you in this way?
Miss Fang opened with a direct question, clearly having already understood what had transpired.
As you might know, I had a deep conflict with Qian Cun Jin; he hated me to the bone. However, our regulations at Tian Ye Gang prohibit harming fellow members, so they couldn’t directly kill me and could only resort to this method to get rid of me.
I gritted my teeth and spoke. Since Miss Fang couldn’t see Chen, everything relied on my words—wasn’t that delightful?
What? Are you sure this is true?
Miss Fang frowned after hearing this.
I’m not certain, but is there any other explanation? I thought about it all night last night and couldn’t come up with anything else—why Chen Duozhu targeted me so intensely? This seemed like the only possibility.
I tentatively suggested that now I could only cast some dirt on Qian Cun Jin’s name; I didn’t dare to pin it directly on him.
Once I implicated him, it would connect the matter to Qian Cun Jin. When it came to dealing with Qian Cun Jin, Tian Ye Gang wouldn’t just take my word for it; they would surely find a way to question Chen before the trial.
Although Chen had no choice but to align with me now, at that time Qian Cun Jin would undoubtedly try every means to make Chen tell the truth—after all, it concerned his own life.
That would introduce too many variables. I wasn’t in a good position either; it was better to secure my escape first rather than stir up trouble.
Xiang Dong, you need to be responsible for your words; you can’t just say anything recklessly.
Miss Fang reminded me. After hearing this, I forced a smile and said, “Well, I really don’t know what’s going on. I’m just speculating.”
Miss Fang chuckled coldly upon hearing this.
Alright then, as it stands now, you appear to be the victim in all of this. But don’t let me find out there’s something fishy going on behind the scenes; otherwise…
