Kapitel 81: Chapter 81 Counterattack (III)
Soon, Li Bin and his group switched to two sedans, bringing Gao Ning and Jin Tianliang to the abandoned building, with Lao Si following closely behind.
Lao Wu lazily sat on a step, holding a laptop and organizing the evidence obtained from the manager.
Not far away, the manager, bound hand and foot, sat quietly against the wall. Although she had been relatively obedient, her eyes were now filled with terror upon seeing Lao Si return. It was clear that Lao Si's deadly methods during her capture had left a significant psychological trauma.
Lao Si glanced at her briefly before surveying Gao Ning and Jin Tianliang, then walked over to Lao Wu and asked, "Why haven't you released the evidence yet?"
Lao Wu grinned, "Just a moment… Okay, it's done. I've downloaded a live streaming app for her to show what Qinglu did. Oh god… The internet will crash today, I promise. Haha… Get ready, the counterattack begins!"
Lao Si said nothing more. He strode over to the manager, calmly said, "Cooperate well, okay?" The manager nodded frantically, "I understand! I understand!"
Not far away, Gao Ning, whose mouth was taped shut, was filled with despair upon seeing the manager. Although he didn't know who these people were, they were likely affiliated with the Chu family. He had seen the foreigner with the laptop before, at Chen Qiang's food stall, where he had been beside Chu Yuxuan.
Despite knowing his chances were slim, Gao Ning instinctively begged for mercy, but with his mouth sealed, he could only make muffled noises, praying desperately, "Dad! Please come save me!"
In contrast, Jin Tianliang, who had just regained consciousness, was much more defiant, shouting at Li Bin and the others about how he had powerful backers. He rambled on about his connections and how he was untouchable.
Lao Si untied the ropes from the manager and glanced at the incessantly shouting Jin Tianliang. With a faint blink, he walked towards the GTR.
Li Bin's two underlings whispered among themselves, speculating about this unassuming killing machine: "I don't think we've seen this guy before. He seems pretty ordinary, just good-looking. He probably isn't that capable."
As they spoke, Lao Si opened the trunk and pulled out a large hammer, dragging it across the ground towards Jin Tianliang.
Lao Wu's eyelids twitched, astonished, "Hey, Pu Cheng, where did you get that hammer?"
Lao Si shot him a look and calmly replied, "Bought it on the way. I figured it would come in handy today."
"D*mn it." Lao Wu shook his head and looked at the manager, "I suggest you close your eyes and cover your ears, or you might have nightmares. I swear."
The manager, trembling with fear, quickly followed the advice.
Jin Tianliang, with his hands bound behind him, lay on the ground, glaring up at Lao Si. "Stop trying to scare me! I'm tough! If you have the guts, just kill me! If you can't kill me, I'll…"
Before he could finish, Lao Si swung the hammer and struck him in the chest!
"Thud!"
"Thud!"
"Thud!"
Three successive blows!
Jin Tianliang was battered and spewed blood, his eyes rolling back. Lao Si calmly remarked, "You're so noisy." He then delivered another blow, knocking Jin Tianliang unconscious.
Gao Ning, witnessing the brutal scene, was utterly terrified, shivering uncontrollably and not daring to look at Lao Si. Li Bin and his men were equally terrified, their faces showing fear and trepidation. Although violence was common in their world, this level of brutality was aimed at killing!
Lao Si glanced at them and made a "shush" gesture with his hand, dropped the hammer, and walked towards the manager, "Let's begin."
Five minutes later, at the Criminal Investigation Team headquarters.
Chu Muhan burst into the interrogation room once again, dismissed the officers present, and demanded of Chu Yuxuan, "Where is Gao Ning?"
Chu Yuxuan smiled lightly, then stood up, stretching his body. "So, can I leave now?"
"Chu Yuxuan! Is Gao Ning in your hands or not?"
"He's not my son. Why are you asking me?" Chu Yuxuan said calmly. "Captain Chu, can I leave now?"
Chu Muhan clenched her fists, her voice icy, "Do you really have to be like this?"
Chu Yuxuan shrugged, "I'm being wronged. Why don't you go catch the real culprit instead of talking to me here?"
Just then, the legal department knocked on the door. "Hello, Officer Chu. Can our CEO leave now? We've cooperated with you since five in the morning. Now that the truth is clear and evidence is available online, you can investigate it yourself. It's no longer related to our CEO!"
Chu Muhan stared hard at Chu Yuxuan, and after a long pause, turned and left the interrogation room.
She genuinely hoped her brother would not go down a dark path.
Once out of the police station, Chu Yuxuan got into the car and opened his phone to access the live stream of Xia Zhu's manager.
At that moment, the manager was making a second statement:
"I'm telling you the truth. You don't know how much Chu Yuxuan once loved Xia Zhu. He pursued her for a long time before finally winning her over. However, at that time, Xia Zhu only had eyes for Gao Ning abroad, so she was always indifferent towards Chu Yuxuan. Later, when Gao Ning returned to the country, Xia Zhu abandoned Chu Yuxuan. Despite this, Chu Yuxuan never retaliated against her; on the contrary, he continued to tolerate her misbehavior.
"Recently, Xia Zhu discovered that Gao Ning had deceived her. He had not gone abroad for treatment but for another woman. Therefore, Xia Zhu decisively ended their relationship. Last night, Gao Ning, with the help of Xia Zhu's mother, shamelessly stayed at Xia Zhu's house. Xia Zhu wanted to break things off properly, so she proposed having a drink together to part on good terms and never see each other again. At 3:10 a.m., Gao Ning was drunk and sleeping on the couch in the living room. Xia Zhu went to the balcony to video chat with me, lamenting that she had missed out on such a good man as Chu Yuxuan and had treated someone like Gao Ning as a treasure.
"Unexpectedly, Gao Ning overheard our conversation. He was very drunk and, like a madman, questioned Xia Zhu why she betrayed him and why she liked Chu Yuxuan instead of him… Among other things. I tried to persuade him, but he accused me of stirring up trouble between him and Xia Zhu. I was so angry that I started recording, thinking that if Xia Zhu got back with Gao Ning, I could show her the recording to remind her to stay away from scum! Later, Gao Ning and Xia Zhu were pushing each other, and in a moment of inattention, he… he pushed Xia Zhu off the balcony! The phone was in Xia Zhu's hand at that time, so I saw everything clearly. Gao Ning initially held Xia Zhu's hand, but then… the tragedy happened. You can see the content I recorded last night…"
Watching all this, Chu Yuxuan's mood grew heavy.
In the video, Xia Zhu's sense of helplessness was heart-wrenching. Although the footage was shaky and unstable, as the phone was in Xia Zhu's hand while they were pushing each other, her face occasionally flashed through the screen.
At first, her face showed terror, unable to believe that Gao Ning would go mad with rage.
Then her expression gradually turned to anger, shouting for Gao Ning to let her go.
After that, she became impatient and deeply disappointed.
Having loved only one person in her life, she never expected that he would be someone so undeserving of love!
Finally, Xia Zhu's delicate hand, which was being held by Gao Ning, seemed to release itself.
In the moment of falling, a fleeting image appeared—she was both smiling and crying.
Everything in this world has its reason.
Chu Yuxuan put away his phone, his face revealing no emotion. After a pause, he called Lao Wu: "Send me the location."
Farewells often do not require grand ceremonies, warm embraces, or heartfelt goodbyes. Most separations in life are quiet and unremarkable. Perhaps one day, an unintended meeting could be the last time we see each other.
