Chapter 141: Chapter 141 Confess for Leniency

"Haha, thank you all for your understanding, I’ll drink to that!"

Chen Baiqiang immediately stood up and proactively toasted everyone.

However, no one noticed the rage brimming in the depths of his eyes.

The Chen Family had not long joined the ranks of the top tycoons in the provincial city, and this lavish engagement banquet was meant to show off the Chen Family’s strength and connections.

But unexpectedly, just as the engagement banquet began, two lives were lost, and worse yet, the deceased were his wife’s sister and nephew.

While the guests were waiting, on the other side, Huang Jin had already gathered all the hotel staff together.

"Are all of you useless? How did my wife and son fall without anyone seeing it?"

Huang Jin’s face was contorted with vicious anger as he roared at the staff.

The staff members hung their heads low, not daring to take a deep breath.

Huang Jin seemed to have gone mad as he bellowed, "Are you all deaf? Tell me, how exactly did my wife and son fall down?"

"Enough!"

Just then, Xu Shang, sent by Chen Kun, stepped forward, "Step aside!"

Huang Jin couldn’t help but shudder as a touch of madness flashed in his eyes, his bloodshot eyes fixed on Xu Shang as he growled, "It’s my wife and son who are dead. I’ll investigate it myself! What right do you have to tell me to step aside?"

Xu Shang didn’t say a word, just gave him a cold look, but that look sent chills down his spine.

What he didn’t know was that Xu Shang had unleashed Martial Path Pressure, an invisible force that seemed to cloak the entire meeting room in a shadow.

Xu Shang’s gaze swept over everyone as he asked in a cold tone, "Who is in charge of the surveillance room?"

A middle-aged man in a black suit said with tremors, "It... It’s me!"

"You have five minutes to pull up the video from the second-floor corridor of the banquet hall."

The second-floor corridor of the banquet hall was the very place where Ouyang Mei and Huang Junxiang had fallen. As soon as Xu Shang finished speaking, his hand came crashing down.

"Bang!"

A loud noise ensued, and the solid wooden conference table was blasted with a hole.

Everyone in the meeting room widened their eyes in horror.

Five or six centimeters thick of solid wood, and a single slap had punched a hole through it?

Is this guy even human?

Xu Shang said in a cold voice, "If I don’t have the video I want within five minutes, this slap might just land on you."

The person in charge of surveillance took a few deep breaths, wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, and said hastily, "I’ll get the surveillance footage right now!"

With that, he dashed toward the surveillance room as if racing a hundred-meter sprint.

Xu Shang then asked, "Who is the personnel manager?"

A young woman in work attire stood up trembling, "It’s me!"

Xu Shang pointed at the crowd and asked, "Take a look, is anyone missing from today’s staff that should be here?"

Upon hearing this, Huang Jin’s body started to shake violently.

Xu Shang’s slightly narrowed eyes swept over Huang Jin and then settled on the personnel manager.

The personnel manager, shivering all over, scanned each staff member’s face, paused slightly on Huang Jin, then looked towards Xu Shang.

With a trembling voice, she said, "One... one person is missing!"

"Oh?"

Xu Shang’s eyebrows raised as he asked, "Which one is missing?"

The HR head said, "Director Huang’s secretary, Zhang Shuai!"

After speaking, she lowered her head, not daring to glance at Huang Jin.

Xu Shang narrowed his eyes and looked toward Huang Jin, asking coldly, "Director Huang, where is your secretary?"

Huang Jin was completely panicked and hurriedly shook his head, "He was... just here, maybe... he went to the bathroom?"

As soon as he finished speaking, the head of the surveillance room rushed in, his face filled with panic as he said, "They’re all gone, all gone! Today’s video footage is all gone!"

Huang Jin secretly breathed a sigh of relief. Without the video, once Zhang Shuai successfully left, the Chen Family would not be able to obtain any evidence.

He suddenly stepped forward and kicked the head of the surveillance room, bellowing, "You’re in charge of the entire hotel’s surveillance footage; how could it just disappear like that?"

"With the footage gone, how am I supposed to find the killer of my wife and son? I’ll kill you, you bastard!"

The surveillance room head pleaded while holding his head, "Director Huang, I don’t know, I really don’t know! Stop hitting me, I beg you, stop!"

"I remember now, it was Zhang Shuai! He came to the surveillance room just ten minutes ago, said he needed to check something. He must have deleted today’s footage!"

He suddenly shouted out loud.

Huang Jin was startled and became even more furiously violent, kicking the other man while shouting, "You dumbass lose the footage yourself and then dare push the blame onto others, I’ll beat you to death!"

"Stop!"

Just then, a furious shout came from the doorway.

Huang Jin’s body jerked, and he stopped beating the man, his eyes red as he turned to Chen Kun and said, "Young Master Chen, my wife and child are dead, you must stand up for me!"

Chen Kun narrowed his eyes at Huang Jin and said, "Do you really not know how they died?"

Huang Jin was immediately shocked — could Chen Kun know something?

That shouldn’t be! The surveillance video from the second-floor corridor had already been deleted by Zhang Shuai. He had deliberately called a meeting with all the hotel’s staff just now, primarily to buy time for Zhang Shuai to escape.

Moreover, his office had a secret elevator that went directly to the underground parking garage. Even if the Chen Family locked down the entire hotel, they would never find Zhang Shuai.

With this in mind, Huang Jin’s inner panic subsided a bit, and he asked with feigned calm, "Weren’t they pushed down from the second floor of the banquet hall?"

Chen Kun let out a cold sneer and said, "Huang Jin, I’m giving you a chance to come clean. As long as you speak the truth, I can, out of respect for my great-aunt, give you a way out."

At these words, Huang Jin’s face drastically changed!

He asked anxiously and nervously, "Young Master Chen, what do you mean?"

Chen Kun’s expression remained calm as he said, "You only get one chance, it’s up to you to value it or not. You have thirty seconds to consider."

This time, Huang Jin was utterly panicked. Could it be that Chen Kun really had some evidence?

As Chen Kun’s great-uncle, he was acutely aware of how ruthless this young man could be. Once substantial evidence was in his hands, Huang Jin was a dead man.

Huang Jin, with his face full of panic, said, "Young Master Chen, I truly don’t know!"

"You really won’t cry until you see the coffin!"

Chen Kun snorted coldly and ordered, "Bring the person in!"

With his command, two towering Chen Family martialists dragged in a middle-aged man covered in blood into the conference room.

When Huang Jin saw the person, his face instantly turned deathly pale.

Because the man on the brink of death was none other than Zhang Shuai!
