The Past

Zhao Chengfeng had a headache.

Chen Cheng was the one who caused the most trouble among his subordinates. He received a lot of punishments on a daily basis.

If it were not for his many achievements, Zhao Chengfeng would have sent him packing already.

Of course, it was impossible now.

He could be considered as a valiant general under him. Otherwise, Zhao Chengfeng would not have handed such an important task to him.

However, he did not expect that such a thing would occur.

"Why did you catch him…"

Chen Cheng said as a matter-of-fact, "Didn't you say not to act rashly?"

"But on second thought, this fool doesn't know anything. If we don't act rashly, he will act rashly."

"So I had to arrest him in case he went berserk."

Zhao Chengfeng choked on a mouthful of blood.

What are you saying?

Is this how I taught you when I said not to act rashly?

However, since it had already happened, he could only ask in a muffled voice, "Then what do you plan to do?"

Chen Cheng said, "Let him wait, in case he goes and courts death."

As he spoke, Chen Cheng's voice became a bit serious.

"Sir, there's something I have to say."

"Li Song might not be as simple as we think."

"After seeing the address, I found something interesting. The four suspects who committed the No. 1308 murder yesterday never came out after entering the building where he lived.

"The people from the police department are in charge of handling this matter. I asked around and it was as if they disappeared into thin air. There were no traces left behind…"

"Hmm…"

Zhao Chengfeng's voice did not contain much emotion, "You don't have to worry about this matter. We have already come to a conclusion. As for Liu Zhiyou, we will detain him first."

Chen Cheng did not say anything else after hearing that. He turned around and glanced at Liu Zhen, who was trembling in fear, "I'll interrogate him too. There should be quite a lot of things going on with this guy. It can be considered as getting justice for the people."

Zhao Chengfeng said helplessly, "Do you know how to interrogate? Hand him over to the police department when you should."

"Don't worry, Sir."

Chen Cheng smiled, "I will give him a reason to spill the beans."

Zhao Chengfeng: "…"

Initially, Zhao Chengfeng wanted to tell him to maintain discipline. However, on second thought, he decided not to.

The world was a little chaotic now. Once the restriction order was lifted, it would only become even more chaotic. It might not be a good thing if he kept to the old ways.

In times of chaos, one should use heavy-handed methods.

The call ended.

Chen Cheng walked in front of Liu Zhiyou, took out a pistol from his waist and pointed it at Liu Zhiyou's head.

"Speak."

"Give me a reason not to kill you."

When the other people in the room saw this scene, they all turned around with strange expressions, pretending that they did not see anything.

Liu Zhiyou almost went crazy. His entire body went limp. Was that the interrogation method he had in mind?!

He now understood something.

He had messed with the wrong guy. That seemingly harmless young man was actually such a ruthless person. He had only sent people to follow him, but he actually wanted his life!

However, he still remained unyielding, "You have no right to judge me!"

"I want to see my lawyer!"

"I know Director Gao. I want to call him!"

The things that he had done, if he admitted to them, would probably be enough for him to stay permanently in jail. He could not speak no matter what.

As long as he could enter the police station, as long as he could call for a lawyer, he still had room to maneuver!

He was a businessman, so there was nothing he could not negotiate. As long as he reached a place he was familiar with, Liu Zhiyou believed that he could still continue to be a wealthy man without any issues.

Unfortunately, the person he met this time clearly did not want to reason with him.

Click.

It was the sound of a gun's safety trigger being unlocked.

Chen Cheng's voice sounded, "Now, the lawyer is here."

...

On the other side, after hanging up, Zhao Chengfeng lowered his head and looked at the documents on the table.

There was a photo attached at the top. A young man was smiling warmly at the camera.

Some information was written below.

[Name: Li Song]

[Age: 24]

Family Relationship:

[Father: Li Zhengyi (Deceased)]

[Mother: Liu Qin (Deceased)]

[Brother: Li Yang]

[Siblings: Li Ying]

Education Experience: Huining City…

Work Experience: …

Zhao Chengfeng had already looked through this information several times. However, he could not imagine that this ordinary-looking young man was related to a major case.

Zhao Chengfeng fell silent as he read the two pieces of information.

He remembered what the investigator had told him.

"Sir, I've checked on this Li Song."

"I found something really interesting!"

"This kid seems to be related to the case between Chi Da and Ning Hui Corporation. I suspect that this kid is the mastermind behind this case!"

"He is a true talent!"

These two transcripts recorded the details of two traffic accidents.

One of them happened five years ago; the other happened last month.

"Five years ago, there was a traffic accident in Huining City. Two cars collided, and one of the cars had Li Song's parents and elder brother. His parents died on the spot, and his elder brother was rescued, but his legs were amputated."

"The other car had the Ning Hui Corporation's heir who died in a car accident last month!"

"There was something fishy about the case at that time. I looked into it and found out that Ning Hui Corporation and Chi Da Company had put pressure on the case. In the end, they merely paid some compensation before the case was closed."

Zhao Chengfeng frowned and asked, "What does this have to do with the Chi Da?"

"Heh."

"At that time, the car that the heir of Ning Hui Corporation drove used the automatic driving system of the Chi Da Group. The heir of Ning Hui Corporation had driven directly in the city. Even if the autopilot was switched off, the speed limit was still active. However, his speed then…"

Zhao Chengfeng understood.

"What's the most interesting thing?"

"At that time, the Chi Da Group wanted to fix their corporate image and made a statement that they were willing to provide financial support for Li Song and his siblings so that they could complete their studies and be accepted unconditionally after graduation."

"Guess what happened in the end. This kid went on absence leave in his first year of university. He started working at the Chi Da Group halfway through his studies!"

"This person is definitely a genius!"

"In five years, starting from zero, he became the deputy head of the research and development department. His annual salary alone is more than 5 million!"

"However, he resigned three months ago and quietly came to Shanghai. A month ago, Ning Hui Corporation's heir lost control of his car and crashed into the wall of the tunnel at a speed of more than a hundred miles per hour. He died on the spot!"

"As for the house that Li Song is renting now, he can see the accident scene from the window!"

Zhao Chengfeng frowned again, "What does this have to do with Li Song?"

"I was curious, so I investigated."

When the investigator said this, his expression was a little strange, "The people who were involved in that case all died in these last five years…"

"How ruthless…"
