Confession

Luo Ying felt the tense atmosphere in the Tianxing Entertainment the moment he entered the building. Everyone was anxious because of the current news about the Tianxing, Liang Jin and Liang Lin. No one dared to breathe loudly nor open their mouth. They also walked lightly, thus, the usually lively building was covered in gloom like a funeral parlor. The lights inside the building suddenly looked dim, adding to the already downcast-looking employees.

Luo Ying and his manager silently looked at each other, but they didn't utter a word. Life is conformity. If a nail was sticking out, it will be immediately hammered down. Just like the late film emperor Lei Shan. He was too loved by the people, but also hated him for being so popular and successful. Thus, he died earlier than intended.

After Jing Li – Luo Ying's manager, took their new schedule, they immediately left. It is a common sense that the Tianxing Entertainment monopolizes their artists. One is to avoid scandals, two is to have everything within their control. Some artists will be pirated by the other entertainment companies. Lei Shan was also pirated, but Lei Shan remained firm, which became his biggest mistake. Lei Shan is now dead after the Tianxing Entertainment murdered him when they saw he's already can't be used. Thus, Liang Jin finally gave Liang Lin his 'go' signal to touch Lei Shan. These two bastards.

Jing Li and Luo Ying immediately entered their car when they saw the reporters quickly approaching them to ask them about the Tianxing Entertainment's scandal – which is the Tianxing having a hand on Lei Shan's death. Fortunately, Jing Li is a fast driver and they immediately left the reporters to dust. How noisy it was outside their car earlier is how quiet it is now inside.

Jing Li glanced at Luo Ying who was sitting on the backseat. "About Tianxing…" he said.

"They now have their retribution." Luo Ying said, his voice cold. He already heard Liang Jin and Liang Lin were absent today in the company after being 'invited' to the police station when someone anonymously contacted the police and confessed of his crime.

Liang Jin and Liang Lin's names were included on his confession. The father and son insisted that the witness were slandering them but when an audio clip was played by the police, the two became as silent as a mute. Liang Jin and Liang Lin wanted to deny and said that the audio clip was synthesized, but an expert team already verified it. The audio clip is real. Liang Jin and Liang Lin then insisted for the witness to reveal their identity. Then, the police officer in charge of Lei Shan's case this time gave them clincher –

"Why? To threaten them and finally kill them just like what you did to Lei Shan's manager – Ran Qing?" the police officer said with a stern face. He didn't wait for them to react. "Bring out Ran Qing's phone. Then, that man." He told his subordinate.

"Yes, sir!" the adjutant answered and immediately left the interrogation room. Liang Jin and Liang Lin's face now turned pale.

The police officer ignored their expression as he took out some documents along with some pictures. "Liang Jin, Tianxing Entertainment's CEO, divorced. For a 60-year old man, you sure is very 'vigorous'." He sneered and thrown multiple pictures that can be used by some media companies for Liang Jin's scandal. "We don't have the right to infringe on your private affairs, but, we found that every secretary you have, they would suddenly disappear like a bubble." He looked at Liang Jin whose face is twisting in anger. "Your secretary, who should be currently in your office, why have we found her under a bridge?" he asked as he made a look of confusion, but there was a sardonic smile on his face.

Liang Jin finally can't help but rose from his seat. "You bastard! Stop insinuating I killed her!" he shouted.

But, the police officer didn't even blink. He wasn't intimidated by this false bravado of Liang Jin. He even laughed. "I should thank Mr. Liang Jin for violently reacting. Because, if you still acted calm, we can't capture the panic, the fear on your face that you professionally hide – " he said.

Liang Jin murderously glared at the police officer and tried to reach him but Liang Lin pulled him back in time. "Dad, stop!" Liang Lin said, his face now full of horror as he stared at the police officer who is now looking at him. His heart skipped a beat, now because of romance but instead of alarm. The police officer… he looks like he knows all his secrets!

"Bastard! I'll kill you! I'll torture you when I'll be released from this fucking filthy place - !" Liang Jin roared in anger as he glared at the police officer who has an amiable smile on his face as if he's a nurse that was talking to a mental patient having a tantrum.

Liang Lin, on the other hand, his face becoming more pale completely opposite to his father whose face is purple in rage. He looked like he'll have an attack at any time. Liang Lin feels his heart sinking because Liang Jin had lost it. It added fuel to the fire when he heard the police officer's words.

"Then, I'll make it so that you will never get out of this filthy place." The police officer said. "Threatening a public servant, suspected of murdering your secretary, and suspected conspiring with the late actor Lei Shan's murderer." He said as he summarized Liang Jin's crime. Then, he ignored Liang Jin and turned to the younger Liang who's coldly sweating even if the police officer still hasn't started his interrogation. "As for Mr. Liang Lin…" he deliberately hung his words. "I specifically invited a 'guest' for you to have a chat with. Bring him in now." His last sentence was clearly to the person outside the door.

The door of the interrogation room slowly opened. It was like Liang Lin's secrets were also opening. When he finally saw the man outside the door, he jumped out of his seat and his hold on his father loosened, making Liang Jin fell face first on the dirty floor of the interrogation room where countless people have stepped on, and what their shoes have stepped on before they entered the room, it's unknown.

Liang Jin's face immediately turned green in disgust, but Liang Lin didn't see it since all his attention was focused on the man now standing by the doorway, his hands were handcuffed and two police officers were escorting him and are standing behind him to prevent him from escaping. But, looking at the man's tranquil expression, it seemed like he finally made the biggest decision in his life. "Ah Xu… why are you – " Liang Lin's pale face was filled with worry.

The man Liang Lin called 'Ah Xu' turned to Liang Lin, his eyes are filled with frightening calm. "Boss." He called Liang Lin despite Liang Lin's ambiguous and intimate call of his name. "My girlfriend is pregnant. In order to give her and our future child a future, I have to turn myself in." he told him, then took a heavy breath. "I confess to my crimes." He turned to the police officer sitting on the chair. "Liang Lin raped Lei Shan, and my fellow brothers also raped him before they killed him. I have the video recording of it. I hope you won't publicize it in order to keep Lei Shan's reputation." He said these all in one breath. "As for the evidence of Liang Lin's crimes, I have the audio clip of his and Ran Qing's conversation about Ran Qing selling Lei Shan to Liang Lin because of his dissatisfaction to Lei Shan for being too clean." He sighed. "I also have my fellow brother's recorded phone conversation with Liang Jin to as an evidence for his secretary's death." He finished.

A moment of deafening silence fell in the room before Liang Lin's mournful cries can be heard, followed by a loud slap when he slapped 'Ah Xu'. "I trusted you! I trusted you!" he shrieked to the point of being hysterical. Then, he tearfully looked at 'Ah Xu'. "Were you dissatisfied because I was playing with lots of men? I never let them top me. Only you I let to top me! So why?!" he asked as he looked at 'Ah Xu'. There was no hate, only sadness and heartbreak. "Even if I change… it's all too late, right?" he bitterly laughed as he leaned his forehead on 'Ah Xu's chest as he cried. "I hope I won't meet you in my next life." He whispered and slowly walked back to his seat.
