Chapter 142: Chapter 142: Escape from Desperate Situation

At this moment, Zhang Shuai was covered in blood, his face swollen to an unrecognizable extent. If it weren’t for the name on his work badge, Huang Jin might not have even recognized him.

"Director Huang, don’t you have anything you want to explain to me?"

Chen Kun’s eyes narrowed as he stared at Huang Jin. His seemingly calm face concealed intense fury.

Huang Jin snapped back to reality after a brief daze and immediately panicked, speaking with a face full of fear: "Young Master Chen, could it be that my wife and son’s deaths have something to do with him?"

Chen Kun let out a cold laugh, then looked towards Zhang Shuai and ordered his subordinates: "Wake him up for me!"

"Yes!"

A Chen Family Martial Artist stepped forward and pressed hard on Zhang Shuai’s Acupoint DU26 several times.

Zhang Shuai, groggy, slowly opened his eyes, and after a moment of daze, he abruptly became alert, his face filled with terror.

"As long as you tell me who instructed you to push my aunt and cousin down, I’ll give you a way out."

Chen Kun looked down at Zhang Shuai with a stern face and said.

His voice was not loud, but it turned Zhang Shuai ashen. How could he not know Chen Kun’s identity?

The newly prominent tycoon of the provincial capital, the Young Master of the Chen Family, the future Chen Family Heir, Chen Kun!

He had no doubt that if he dared to hide anything, Chen Kun would dare to kill him.

But once the truth came out, Huang Jin would die!

Twenty years ago, if not for Huang Jin’s timely rescue, he would already be dead.

Huang Jin’s face showed sheer terror, as his life hinged on a single word from Zhang Shuai.

"It was me!"

About a minute of silence later, Zhang Shuai suddenly roared, saying with a ferocious face: "Nobody instructed me; I wanted to kill Ouyang Mei and Huang Junxiang myself!"

"All these years, I’ve slaved for the Huang Family, earning countless merits, but just because I’m Director Huang’s man, they kept finding ways to stop my promotion, even trying to kick me out of the company."

"The salespeople who used to work under me are now vice presidents of the group, but I’m still a chairman’s secretary with no real power!"

"Why? Why should they suppress me like this?"

"I was the one who killed them and then pushed them from the second floor. They deserved to die; they had it coming!"

At that moment, Zhang Shuai’s face was full of savagery as if he truly had an irreconcilable grudge against Ouyang Mei and her son, Huang Junxiang.

Huang Jin clenched his fists tightly. Even though Zhang Shuai had taken the blame for everything, knowing Chen Kun’s ruthlessness, he was sure to kill Zhang Shuai.

Although their relationship was that of superior and subordinate, twenty years of companionship had long turned into a brotherly bond.

As expected, Chen Kun’s face turned decidedly grim, and he stared fixedly at Zhang Shuai: "Just because they stopped your promotion and wanted to kick you out of the company, you decided to kill them? Isn’t that excuse a bit far-fetched?"

"In fact, the real killer is Huang Jin!"

"You’re just trying to repay the life-saving grace Huang Jin gave you twenty years ago by taking the fall for him!"

Chen Kun’s voice grew louder as he spoke, until he finally yelled, "Dare to say ’no,’ and I’ll kill you right now!"

"I... I, I..."

Although Zhang Shuai had decided to take the fall for everything, he had never experienced anything like what was happening today.

Intimidated by Chen Kun, he completely lost his composure, trembling and unable to speak a complete sentence.

"What’s with you?"

Chen Kun yelled: "The death of my aunt and cousin has nothing to do with you; you only pushed two corpses from the second-floor corridor."

"Zhang Shuai, tell me, is that how it is?"

At this moment, Chen Kun resembled a furious lion, towering over Zhang Shuai while bombarding him with loud questions.

Zhang Shuai’s emotions completely collapsed, his hands clutching his head as he said with a pained expression, "You’re right, it wasn’t me who killed them. I only pushed their bodies down from the second floor. It wasn’t me, it wasn’t me!"

Hearing his words, Huang Jin staggered, his legs gave out, and he fell on his rear, his face filled with despair.

With tears streaming down his face, Zhang Shuai guiltily looked at Huang Jin and said, "Director Huang, I can’t bear this any longer, I’m sorry! I’ve wronged you!"

Having received the truth he wanted, Chen Kun was satisfied. His eagle-like eyes suddenly fixed on Huang Jin with a murderous aura as he said, "Do you have anything else to say?"

Huang Jin took out a cigar from his pocket, put it in his mouth, and his right hand trembled violently as it took several attempts to light it.

He took a deep drag, then slowly exhaled a puff of smoke. With a deathly pale face, he looked at Chen Kun and said, "Now that you know the truth, I have nothing to say. Whether you want to kill or flay me, it’s all up to you!"

Chen Kun said with an indifferent face, "I know that you’ve had a suffocating time under your Aunt’s control, especially since she cuckolded you."

"You could kill them, but you should never have caused such a scene at my engagement party."

Having said that, he turned and left, adding as he walked, "The engagement party must continue. Xu Shang, I leave the rest to you!"

"Yes!"

Xu Shang bowed respectfully and then shouted at the staff of the East Sea Grand Hotel, "All of you, get lost!"

The crowd scattered as if fleeing.

Soon, within the vast conference room, only Xu Shang, Huang Jin, and Zhang Shuai were left.

Zhang Shuai, already scared out of his wits, curled up into a ball, shaking incessantly.

Huang Jin, on the other hand, calmed down and said to Xu Shang, "Zhang Shuai was just following my orders. Can you spare his life?"

He knew that Chen Kun left Xu Shang behind to kill him; he had no doubt he was going to die.

Ouyang Mei was personally killed by Qin Chuan, and Huang Junxiang also died after Qin Chuan activated his acupoint, causing unbearable itching that led him to smash his head against a wall.

But he didn’t explain anything, knowing that with Qin Chuan’s strength, it wouldn’t be long before the entire Chen Family would be overturned.

Xu Shang shook his head, "No!"

Huang Jin looked at Zhang Shuai with an apologetic face and said, "I’m sorry!"

Zhang Shuai finally realized he was about to die. His face contorted as he roared with a ferocious expression, "Huang Jin, it’s all because of you! If you hadn’t ordered me to push the bodies down, how would I have ended up in this situation?"

"Even if I become a ghost, I won’t let you go!"

His words were like a sharp knife, deeply stabbing into Huang Jin’s heart, but Huang Jin said nothing.

"Huang Jin, I’ll fight you to the death!"

Zhang Shuai bellowed and charged at Huang Jin.

Just as Huang Jin thought Zhang Shuai was rushing towards him, Zhang Shuai suddenly grabbed Xu Shang and then yelled at Huang Jin, "Director Huang, run for your life!"

Huang Jin was stunned for a moment, and only at this moment did he realize that Zhang Shuai had deliberately spoken such words to catch Xu Shang off guard, then take control of Xu Shang to give Huang Jin a chance to escape.

"You’re seeking death!"

Xu Shang was furious and raised his hand to strike down at Zhang Shuai’s head.

"No!"

Huang Jin screamed in utter despair.

Just as Xu Shang’s palm was about to fall, a demonic young figure leapt in through the window.

"You dare to kill my person?"

An ice-cold voice, to the extreme, abruptly rang out.
