Chapter 416: Completely Confident
As for the hundred-death incident that took place in North Sea Path, what happened to the Shanling Financial Group shook the entire Wei Nation and caught attention worldwide.
When watching the news, Bei Shan sighed, and beside him, the J of Diamonds also let out a sigh. “Our little brother is in trouble!”
“I just hope that he can come back safely. He might be expelled from the military, but it’s better than being dead,” Bei Shan said.
As the leader of the Dragon Division, he didn’t abide by the rules, and with the sensitive identity of the Dragon King, he failed to have a positive influence and directly broke laws. If one could easily break laws across the border when no direct order was given, he would basically be an S-class international criminal, and as the Dragon King, he actually broke the laws first!
So, no matter what the outcome was, Xu Cheng would be stripped of the Dragon King title, and that was an inevitable outcome.
Of course Xu Cheng knew this very well, but he had no other choice. If someone laid their hands on his woman and he didn’t do anything, then he wouldn’t be Xu Cheng anymore! He was up against a giant financial group, and if it wasn’t wiped out entirely, they would not give up!
This was the reason he didn’t show any mercy. If he had a soft heart for them, then who would know what kind of revenge they would plot against him and Lin Chuxue?
So, either he wouldn’t make a move at all, or he would kill all without amnesty!
Leaning against the window frame and smoking a cigarette, Xu Cheng looked at the night scene as he was lost in thought.
There was a giant bag on the carpet of the hotel room, and there was a guy making a whining sound as he struggled.
Xu Cheng untied the bag, and inside, Shanling Jiubao, whose legs were broken, had his mouth stuffed by Xu Cheng’s stinky sock. When he saw Xu Cheng’s actual face, he didn’t recognize him right away. Suddenly, he let out a sigh of relief. As long as it wasn’t that devil he saw at North Sea Path, he was fine.
“I didn’t die, that’s too good! Too good! That devil didn’t kill me?! Hahahahaha!”
Xu Cheng smiled. “Which devil?”
Shanling Jiubao only saw Xu Cheng’s actual face on a photo before, so it was normal that he couldn’t recognize him immediately. But, when his memory slowly came to him, his face immediately paled as his body began shivering. That smile just now turned into terror, and he almost couldn’t breath and choked on his spit to death.
Xu Cheng patted him on the shoulder and said, “Don’t be nervous.”
He turned around, came to the window of the hotel room, and said, “Guess why I brought you here?”
Then, he opened the curtains, and outside on an office building across the street, there was a giant billboard with Lin Chuxue’s ad endorsing a makeup brand on it.
“Recognize her?” Xu Cheng asked.
Shanling Jiubao lowered his head hopelessly, and he completely gave up resisting.
Suddenly, he laughed and asked Xu Cheng curiously, “How did you come out? How is my dad right now? Did you kill him or not?”
“No.” Xu Cheng said, “After I took you out, your father was arrested.”
“What?!” Shanling Jiubao didn’t even know if he heard it wrong or not. He sneered, “What are you joking about? How could my dad be arrested?”
“Yeah, and the funny thing is, he’s probably never coming out.” Xu Cheng said as he smiled mysteriously, “Let me show you something.”
In Shanling Jiubao’s confused eyes, Xu Cheng opened the hotel’s TV and inserted a USB drive to open a video.
Inside the video, Shanling Gangben was hacking everyone to death as they begged for mercy. At least a dozen core company CEOs under the Shanling Group were killed by his hands.
Xu Cheng faintly smiled and said, “Say, with this video alone, do you think your dad can escape a death sentence?”
Shanling Jiubao’s face slightly changed. “You took it out of context! You think the police wouldn’t watch the surveillance footage?”
“Too late.” Xu Cheng smiled and said, “I already destroyed it all, and even if the police can repair the hard disk, this will be the only video they can recover. I know that with your family’s business position in the Wei Nation, nothing will happen to your dad at all. So, I already posted this video online!”
Shanling Jiubao angrily shouted, “You won’t live either, the police will find you!”
“Guess, how many days has it been since that incident?” Xu Cheng laughed and said, “Two days now, for the past two days, I’ve been going in and out of the hotel, and no police came to look for me at all. Do you know why?”
“They will soon! They will find all the evidence and get to you soon!”
“Even if they pick up all the clues and make progress, it won’t help at all.” Xu Cheng said, “Only you know what I really look like, not even your father knows. So, he probably thought that I originally look like how I looked that day, and once I take off that mask, his description of my face will basically be useless.”
Shanling Jiubao: “You forgot about fingerprints! You killed so many people, the police can get the fingerprints at the scene and lock onto you right away! Although my dad doesn’t know what you really look like, I already told him before that you are from Huaxia! So, as long as he tells the police that, and the police will filter through all the inbound visitors from Huaxia, you will have nowhere to hide.”
“Yes, theoretically, with the general procedure, that would be the case. But, what if there are surprises?”
Speaking of this, Xu Cheng faintly smiled. “I can tell you, I came to the Wei Nation with a British passport, not Huaxia’s passport. So, during that first filter, I will already be safe! As for the fingerprints you speak of, I don’t think they will find anything.”
“Then the Wei Nation cops can go kill themselves! You killed so many people, and you dare to tell me that you left no fingerprints behind?” Shanling Jiubao said.
At the Wei Nation Police Headquarters, the detectives in charge of this investigation were under a lot of stress.
Firstly, there were some experts that said Shanling Gangben was losing his mind due to old age and went berserk and slashed a lot of people, and when the police arrived, the evidence was conclusive. He was indeed holding onto a samurai sword, and many of the bodies indeed showed fatal blade wounds and also signs of poisoning.
Then, another ground of experts pointed out that there were five Rens at the scene, hinting that the Emperor was likely involved in the killing of the Shanling Family, and the Emperor of the Wei Nation was indeed having a big headache because of the public opinion and how much it was affecting his reputation. He was immediately infuriated and demanded that the police get to the bottom of this as fast as possible.
But, the only direct evidence they had was the surveillance footage which was cut to only the part of Shanling Gangben slashing people. All in all, the charges against him were confirmed. However, when that footage was posted online, the government officials were immediately furious at the police. “Who the fack told you guys to expose this online?!”
The police were also having a huge headache.
For this reason of public opinion, Shanling Gangben wouldn’t be able to get out temporarily.
And now, the only other thing the police could rely on was fingerprints!
At the hotel, Xu Cheng gestured at Shanling Jiubao and said, “Here, let me show you something.” (read on noodletowntranslated dot com to support the actual translators)
Then, he put his palm in front of Jiubao, and then, a layer of meat pads just like that of a cat surfaced from his palm. Shanling Jiubao was completely shocked, and he looked at Xu Cheng like he was looking at a monster.
“The police will only find the fingerprints of cats, not humans.” Xu Cheng smiled deviously.
During his rampage, he had already covered his fingerprints with the meat pads!
