Seeing that the situation wasn't good, Derek hurriedly said, "Uh, Eric, don't be fooled by these people! I swear I didn't send anyone to kill your son. I don't know the man you're holding at all! Since they brought him here, he's obviously in cahoots with them and trying to frame me so that you'll hate me!"
Eric couldn't tell who was lying, so he could only squeeze the neck of the young man in his hand and roar, "Say it! Tell me honestly how my son died?!"
Afraid that Eric would really strangle him to death, the young man explained frantically, "Mr… Mr. Piers instructed me to do it! I've always worked for the Piers, and just after noon today, he told me that there was a man with broken limbs at the mall, and he immediately wanted me to pretend to be a member of the rescue team so that I could kill him silently!
"I haven't touched the two hundred thousand Mr. Piers told his butler to give me! I swear I'm telling the truth! I'm not lying at all!"
