Chapter 378: Chapter 381 Return Early_1

The elderly lady from the old house immediately turned pale upon hearing the news. She clutched her chest and nearly collapsed.

Yang Fei who was beside the elderly lady quickly came to her aid: "Grandma, are you okay?"

A flash of cold fury shot through Yang Gang’s eyes. He jumped straight down from the second floor of the villa, ran to the elderly lady, and anxiously asked, "Grandma, how are you?"

The elderly lady gasped for air, but eventually composed herself. She grabbed Yang Gang’s hand: "Gang, you didn’t commit murder, did you?"

Yang Gang gave a light smirk, "Grandma, don’t worry, there must be some misunderstanding. I’ll deal with them."

Upon saying that, Yang Gang got up and walked straight over to the police captain who was holding the loudspeaker, his face devoid of any emotion, "If anything happens to my grandmother, I’m afraid I’ll have to bury you all with her."

The police captain’s legs trembled under Yang Gang’s suffocating intimidation.

What the hell is up with this man?

His gaze was akin to the grim reaper’s, cold and ruthless, devoid of any human emotion.

He gulped, steadying himself before stuttering, "Do you know Xie Guangwen?"

"Xie Guangwen? Isn’t that Shen Jing’s father?"

His eyebrows furrowed as he nonchalantly replied, "I suppose so, what about him?"

"He’s dead. Murdered." The police captain replied.

Yang Gang seemed surprised: "Dead?"

"Yes. Someone reported that you had a confrontation with him yesterday and warned him to stop harassing Shen Jing or you will not let him off easy. However, Xie Guangwen threatened Shen Yun and her daughter after you left. Hence, we have reasons to suspect you. Plus, we discovered a fruit knife, the murder weapon, at the crime scene with your fingerprints on it. So, Mr. Yang, could you please come with us for questioning?"

Yang Gang’s gaze was frosty.

Xie Guangwen was dead, and he definitely didn’t kill him. So, who could it be?

Could it be Shen Yun?

"Gang..." a voice rang out.

Yang Gang turned to see Yang Fei looking at him nervously.

He walked over, hugged Yang Fei, and gave her a reassuring smile: "It’s okay, I didn’t kill anyone. I’ll just accompany them for an investigation. There’s no need to tell Dad about this."

"Gang, you’re not lying to me, right? You said it’s okay, so it’s definitely okay, right?" Yang Fei was still very nervous.

Yang Gang smiled, stroking her long hair: "Of course. I still need to protect my dear little sister and find the best husband for you. So, I’ll be fine."

Yang Fei held Yang Gang tightly: "Gang, I don’t want the best husband, I just want to stick to the Yang family. You have to protect me, protect your sister, protect Grandma, protect our home. So, come back soon."

Her words, ’come back soon’, stirred a subtle warmth in Yang Gang’s heart.

This was the feeling of home, of having a family.

Simple yet fulfilling.

After a moment of silence, Yang Gang composed himself.

"Uh... remember, you said this yourself. If you can’t find a husband later, don’t blame me." After saying this, Yang Gang smiled, patted Yang Fei’s head, then turned to the policeman: "Officer, let’s go."

An hour later.

At the police station, Yang Gang had roughly understood the situation.

Xie Guangwen was stabbed in the heart with a fruit knife and died. The time of death was at 3 AM.

"Yang Gang, what were you doing at three in the morning?" The lead investigator on Yang Gang’s case was Liu Lan.

Yang Gang and Liu Lan didn’t have many public interactions, so very few were aware of their acquaintance.

Next to Liu Lan stood two armed male officers, plus a female officer recording the statements.

Yang Gang glanced at the two armed officers, saying lightly, "At three in the morning, of course, I was at home sleeping."

"Is there anyone who can confirm this?" Liu Lan asked again.

Yang Gang shrugged, pretending to inspect the badge on Liu Lan’s chest, and said lazily, "Officer, I live alone, and there’s no woman in my bed, naturally, no one can vouch for me."

Liu Lan suddenly thought of her fling with Yang Gang, her face reddening slightly.

The two male officers couldn’t bear to watch this anymore, one of them reprimanded sharply, "Yang Gang! If you continue like this, I’ll charge you with harassing an officer!"

Yang Gang rolled his eyes: "You must be kidding. I’m not gay. I have no interest in you. Besides, with your Healing, even a gay person wouldn’t be interested in you."

"You!"

"Alright, Hong Yang, are you conducting the interrogation, or am I?" Liu Lan kept her emotions in check and said coldly.

The male officer immediately shut up.

Yang Gang grinned, giving a V sign to the male officer.

The male officer was infuriated once again.

"Alright, Yang Gang, tone it down a bit." Liu Lan said.

"OK!" Yang Gang was quick to agree.

Liu Lan thought for a moment, then asked, "You say you didn’t kill Xie Guangwen, so why were your fingerprints found on the handle of the fruit knife at the scene?"

Yang Gang paused: "Are you sure those fingerprints are mine?"

"Yes. We have checked. There’s no mistake." Liu Lan said.

Yang Gang fell silent, thinking.

Just then, there was a commotion outside the police station, a woman was shouting, "The bastard who killed Xie Guangwen was me."

Yang Gang was taken aback; this was the voice of Shen Yun, Shen Jing’s mother.

Liu Lan glanced at Yang Gang and told one of the male officers, "Bring the woman outside here."

"Alright." After saying this, the male officer left.

A moment later, Shen Yun was brought into the interrogation room.

She glanced at Yang Gang, turned her head to Liu Lan and said, "Officer, the one who killed Xie Guangwen was me, it has nothing to do with young master Yang."

"Why did you kill Xie Guangwen? What’s your relationship with him?" Liu Lan asked.

Shen Yun paused for a moment, then said lightly, "Twenty years ago, when I, a northerner, drifted to Yanjing, I fell in love with a man named Xie Guangwen. Half a year after we got together, I found out that Xie Guangwen had been married. He had deceived me. After we broke up, I unexpectedly found myself pregnant. A melodramatic story, right? Hehe."

She paused, then continued, "After a long struggle, I decided to have the baby. The child was innocent. However, the baby was born prematurely, suffering from leukemia, purulent encephalitis, and other combined diseases. I had no money, and because I insisted on having this child, my family cut all ties with me. So, I couldn’t help but go to Xie Guangwen. Xie Guangwen agreed to pay for Jing’s treatment, but he asked me to continue being his mistress. For the sake of my daughter, I agreed. However, we ended up being his punching bags. Every time he lost money in gambling, or fought with his wife, no matter what, if he was in a bad mood, he would come to Hangcheng to beat up me and my daughter, and insulted my daughter, saying she was not his own flesh and blood. I had put up with enough. Yesterday, he even threatened to kill my daughter. So, to protect my daughter, I killed him first."

"How did you kill Xie Guangwen?" Liu Lan asked.

Shen Yun was startled, "I stabbed him, didn’t I? I attacked him when he was off guard, and stabbed his heart with a fruit knife. Didn’t you all say so?"

Liu Lan shook her head, "That’s false. Xie Guangwen was actually killed by someone who poisoned him with arsenic."

"Right, right, I did poison him. I was also wondering why my poisoned Xie Guangwen was announced by you as being stabbed to death?" Shen Yun said.

Liu Lan paused for a moment, then sighed, "Miss Shen, I lied to you. Xie Guangwen was really stabbed in the heart by a fruit knife and died, it has nothing to do with poison. I don’t know why you would take the blame, but we, the police, won’t be so casual in handling cases."

Yang Gang’s eyes flickered, thinking to himself, "If it wasn’t Shen Yun who killed him, then could it be..."
