ng Chi sat still.
Bai Muchuan cleared his throat. “He was able to get the timing right. That day was Xiang Wan’s birthday and she was in Jin City. He might not have known which one of us would go to Jin City since Xiang Wan and myself hadn’t gotten back together then. However, that was not important as he only required you to hold the gun, kill soone and take the bla for him officially...”
ng Chi remained silent.
“When Xiang Wan got kidnapped to Wen Xin Nunnery, you and Yu Ning were in a leisure resort in Nanmu. When Lima and Abdul died from a car crash, you were held in the Criminal Investigation Unit in Xi City... Truth is, we do not have direct evidence on you. Even though we have the recording samples of your voice at Wen Xin Nunnery and Lima’s house; even though Yu Bo stated clearly that he had seen you and that you’re the one who asked him to kill the victims of the 121 case; even if Ye Lun testifies against you that he saw you and Yu Bo inside a car... The murder charges that the police want to pin on you, are simply not strong enough!”
“...”
“Tu Liang’s death is actually the key that could make you receive a death sentence.”
The girls who died in the 121 case.
The murderer was Yu Bo.
This had already been confird.
With regards to Yu Bo’s statent that ng Chi was the one who made him do all of that, as he had so ntal problems, his statent would be controversial in the eyes of law...
As for the incident at Vulture’s Mouth, it was directed by Cui Ming.
For Cui Ming, Lima and Abdul, the police only had ng Chi’s voice recording as evidence...
Nevertheless, in this modern era, it was not a problem to synthesize soone’s voice.
“Xie Wanwan told that she had asked you personally if you’re the one who did all of that... You asked her if she would believe you if you told her that you didn’t do it.”
“...”
“She didn’t believe you and even told you that she fell in love with a man...”
“...”
“You told her that you’re not a good person but you’re not a bad person either.”
“...”
“ng Chi, you still have a chance to tell us that you didn’t kill Tu Liang.”
“...”
Silence took over.
ng Chi was still the sa, his head was lowered and he didn’t say a word.
“Cough! Cough, cough...”
Bai Muchuan started to cough again.
In the visiting room, only the sounds of his coughing were heard.
The atmosphere was cold and lonely.
The few of them were quiet and did not interrupt.
When Bai Muchuan stopped coughing, he drank another mouthful of water.
“You have seen a psychiatrist and there are also dical records about your Dissociative Identity Disorder in the dossier. But did you really think that you can get away unscathed using that excuse with your strong team of lawyers?”
ng Chi was taken aback for a mont. “...”
There was a significant change in his expression.
Bai Muchuan gave a smile casually. “So, you accepted Ye Lun’s deal and took the rap for him?”
“...” ng Chi remained silent.
“Before I ca here, I had no idea what kind of relationship you have with Ye Lun that you have to do this for him... However, when I talked to you earlier, I suddenly realized...” Bai Muchuan got up from his chair and walked towards ng Chi, looking at him as well as his handcuffs. “The one you want to protect is Xie Wanwan.”
ng Chi lifted his head suddenly.
“I don’t know what you are talking about.”
“I said, you don’t like n. The one you like is Xie Wanwan.”
“...”
Every word of his was powerful.
ng Chi, however, his reaction wasn’t as great as others expected.
No one was sure if he’d gotten infected by Bai Muchuan’s coughing as he started to cough as well.
“Second Young Master Mu is indeed Second Young Master Mu. Your ability to make up stories is astonishing. I’m so engrossed in your story but...”
He looked at Bai Muchuan coldly. “Take it that the one I want to protect is Xie Wanwan and that the real murderer is Ye Lun, what do these two have to do with each other?”
Bai Muchuan showed a confident smile. “It’s simple! The reason why Ye Lun kidnapped Xie Wanwan is to show you that it’s as simple as killing an ant if he wanted to kill Xie Wanwan or land you in prison... After all, he could synthesize your voice, manipulate Brother Steel and even kill Cui Ming. He directed such a magnificent case at Vulture’s Mouth. To him, killing Xie Wanwan is nothing.”
This reversal was too fast.
Inside the visiting room, the two prison guards were shocked.
Even Huang He didn’t expect to hear that.
Prior to coming to see ng Chi, Bai Muchuan did not tell Huang He what he had intended to do.
As the two of them conversed with each other, it turned out that what they had previously believed in was completely overturned, which was appalling for them.
Only ng Chi was calm about it.
He lifted his head to look at Bai Muchuan whose back was facing the light.
He couldn’t see Bai Muchuan’s eyes clearly but he could feel the imposing pressure from him.
“ng Chi, you still don’t want to talk about it?”
“Why?” ng Chi asked slowly, “Why did you want to ask about this and not Ye Lun?”
“I’ll be honest with you. We haven’t caught him yet.”
As he said so, Bai Muchuan showed ng Chi the second episode of the murderer’s script and showed it to him. “Did you think that by taking the rap for him, he would let Xie Wanwan off? You’re too naive! Resorting to this in order to protect your beloved. Hur! You gave her all your riches but left her in the mouth of a devil? CEO ng, I really wonder how you pit your wits against your stepmother and stepbrother in order to gain control of the ng Entertainnt Group?”
ng Chi took a deep breath.
“I didn’t do this entirely to protect her. I don’t have a choice.”
He’s obstinate!
But at least, he managed to make the first step.
It was fine, as long as he was still willing to open his mouth.
Bai Muchuan returned to his seat and continued to look at him.
“Tell then, what exactly happened?”
Under his cold gaze, ng Chi didn’t put up a resistance.
He was already a prisoner. No matter if he wanted to live on or continue to protect another, he could only depend on the police.
He said, “It’s true that I t Yu Bo.”
“Mm.” Bai Muchuan listened quietly.
“It was what Ye Lun had said. I t up with Yu Bo not far from the Nanmu Hotel. He didn’t lie.”
“And?”
“It’s true that I did want to break you and Xiang Wan up. That was because ng Liang likes you.”
Bai Muchuan nodded his head. “Continue.”
“That’s all.”
“You have nothing else to say?”
“You’ve said the rest.”
Bai Muchuan squinted his eyes to a line.
“I want to hear you talk about it personally.”
“Tu Liang...” ng Chi glanced at him. “I did shoot him but it was not on purpose.”
“What do you an?” Bai Muchuan felt his heart being clasped at the mont of Tu Liang’s death. “Make yourself clear.”
“That day I had brought the ransom money with as well as a gun. That gun belonged to ... Upon entering that place, I saw that both Ye Lun and Xie Wanwan were unconscious. I had the gun in my hand when the police arrived. However, I didn’t know that it was the police. I had thought the kidnappers had arrived so I quickly turned around with my gun ready to shoot...”
“So you’re the one who shot him?” Bai Muchuan asked in a cold tone.
“No... Not really...” ng Chi shook his head a few tis. His eyes were half-opened as though he was puzzled at the mory himself. “I was crouching when that happened as I was checking the condition of both Ye Lun and Xie Wanwan. When I turned around, Ye Lun suddenly woke up and grabbed my hand... where he pulled the trigger... or was it ...”
He shook his head once again.
“I don’t know what to say.”
That instant was too chaotic.
When he saw the police,
When he saw Ye Lun’s chilly smile, when he heard Ye Lun telling him, “It’s alright, I’ll help you protect her.”
ng Chi saw the shock on Tu Liang’s face, but what he didn’t know was that he also had the sa look as him.
In just a few seconds before he regained his senses, the rest of the police officers had rushed in.
By then, Ye Lun had already fallen into a coma, lying on the floor...
“We did test Ye Lun’s blood. He was indeed unconscious because of the sleeping drug.”
“Hur!” ng Chi shook his head. “Now you can see why I have nothing to say... why bother?”
“However, there was a ti difference between Tu Liang being shot and Ye Lun’s drug-taking effect...”
Ye Lun made use of the ti difference.
It was a perfect cri.
He frad ng Chi without implicating himself and pinned on the latter a cri that he couldn’t refute.
“I thought about this a lot now that I’m here at the detention center,” said ng Chi, “I figured out a lot of things that I couldn’t in the past. Your deduction is correct. It is true that soone made use of the 121 case to direct the police’s attention to Vulture’s Mouth, to the Dark Clan – However, that soone is not . It’s Ye Lun.”
“His motive was to make use of the police to take out the Dark Clan and kill Cui Ming... As for , I got used by him as cannon fodder during the process. I have to admit that he’s really a genius. He’s the sa as Qin Shu in ‘The Grey List’, everything he planned out was extrely ticulous and happened at an opportune ti.”
As he said this, ng Chi furrowed his eyebrows. “However, there’s one thing I don’t quite get. What kind of grudge did Ye Lun have against Cui Ming? What would he gain dealing with the Dark Clan and Cui Ming?...”
He shook his head and laughed bitterly.
Bai Muchuan felt his pulse freeze for a mont.
ng Chi didn’t know that but Bai Muchuan knew why.
If Cui Ming didn’t die, An Ying wouldn’t be able to gain control of the Dark Clan.
All that was planned out so that he could partner with Heaven’s Wrath and execute their plans.
During Cui Ming’s ti, he hated the idea of ganging up with foreign influences.
This was a really big plan.
Even in his death, Cui Ming wouldn’t have known that there was a huge conspiracy.
He had done so much but ultimately, it would be used by others.
