905: Chapter 897: Playing Dumb and Selling Stupid!

Attacking the Mind with Angry Scolding!

Blood was shockingly conspicuous!

The family of Kong Heng, watching him being taken away, immediately panicked.

“Mr.

Wu, could you let Xiao Heng get some medical treatment first?”

“Please, Mr.

Wu, save him first!

He’s bleeding non-stop!”

“Mr.

Wu, let him stop the bleeding and get treated!

Please!”

…

Because his left lower leg had been pierced with four small holes.

Although it had not hit any blood vessels, the amount of bleeding was still significant.

Especially the pain, it was incessant.

It was hardly less than being seared and scorched by four red-hot steel rods.

It had already caused Kong Heng so much pain he was nearly fainting, his whole body trembling uncontrollably, it was too painful.

But…

Wu Jie engaged the safety catch and put away his service gun.

He glanced at the panicked and pleading relatives of Kong Heng and said with a slight smile, narrowing his eyes:

“Don’t worry, he hasn’t confessed on his own.

How could I possibly let him die?”

This statement, why did it sound a bit off?

He wouldn’t let Kong Heng die before he confessed.

But what about after the confession?

No more investigative value, no need to keep him around; wouldn’t that mean they’d silence him?

“Mr.

Wu, please show some leniency!

Kong Heng is just all talk; he wouldn’t dare do anything rash!”

“Please, Mr.

Wu, consider that he confessed and admitted his wrongs.

Give him a chance to live!”

“Mr.

Wu, you have a kind heart and promised to let him go.

Please ensure they enforce the law impartially!”

…

Wu Jie gave a slight smile and said coldly:

“What do you mean?

You think I would behave like Kong Hailin and disregard justice?

Act without any respect for laws and decrees?

Hold personal grudges?”

“Do I, so righteous and upstanding, full of integrity, seem like someone who would abuse his power for personal gain?”

“If he has already confessed and admitted his wrong, how could I possibly leave him to die?

Don’t judge the heart of a gentleman with your own petty standards!”

“Besides, it’s just four small holes in his leg bone, none of his vital parts were damaged.

He would struggle to bleed to death!”

“What are you worried about?

Afraid I won’t save him?

Afraid I’d find a place to bury him alive?

Why worry unnecessarily?”

Wu Jie’s lips curled into a smile, his scrutinizing gaze like a scanner, sweeping over them.

Each one of them was rendered speechless.

It sounded like Wu Jie was praising himself.

But really?

He was indirectly criticizing their family, especially Kong Hailin, for committing crimes.

As for Kong Heng’s injuries…

At first listen, Wu Jie appeared to ensure his survival and not let him die before a confession was made.

But…

Who was Wu Jie?

Was the title ‘the King of Tricksters’ for nothing?

They had advised Kong Heng to admit his guilt, thinking it would save his life.

But now, hearing Wu Jie’s words and his tone, it seemed far more dangerous!

At the mercy of the one holding the knife, they are like fish on the chopping block!

Kong Heng’s life was entirely in Wu Jie’s hands.

He had already been taken away, and what kind of treatment he would face was completely unknown.

All one could say was, he wouldn’t die for the moment,

He wouldn’t provoke Wu Jie mindlessly, to be brutally shot again and again to death on the spot.

So…

Worrying was useless, rather than agonizing over the unpredictable, they should consider how to ‘preserve their own lives.’

After all, Wu Jie was walking towards them with a smiling face.

“Are all of you…

innocent?

Are all of you clean, never committed a crime?”

Wu Jie asked with a teasing tone, squinting his eyes as he surveyed the group.

Some averted their gazes, others looked down at their feet.

Some shook their heads in succession, while others hurriedly defended themselves.

“I…

I am innocent.

I’ve never been involved in a crime; I’m just a teacher!”

“I’ve always abided by the law, I’m known for being very self-disciplined at work!”

“No crimes!

How could I possibly commit a crime?

With my timid and cautious nature, I could never do such a thing in my life!”

“What exactly Old Mr.

Kong and the others did wrong, I don’t even know yet!

How could I be an accomplice?”

…

One by one, they defended themselves, eager to disassociate completely.

It was almost as if they were saying ‘not of the same family.’

Wu Jie nodded slightly and said with a sneer:

“You all seem like good people, not like criminals at all!”

He then approached a middle-aged man.

“You just said, you’re a teacher?”

The middle-aged man nodded again and again, “Yes, I teach math in Liuli City’s Thirteenth Elementary School!”

“Really?

You must have a nice salary and benefits, looking at how you’re dressed.

That shirt, it’s Versace, right?

And this belt…

Gucci?

Wow, is that a Vacheron Constantin watch you’re wearing?

And are those shoes custom-made calf leather?”

Wu Jie exclaimed in surprise, with continuous admiration and questioning.

He immediately put the middle-aged man on alert, as with the others.

How much could a primary school teacher earn?

To be decked out in luxury brands?

Was he taking Wu Jie for a fool who couldn’t recognize quality goods?

The middle-aged man instantly felt embarrassed, subconsciously covering the watch and belt buckle with his right hand.

He wished he could disappear on the spot, away from Wu Jie’s sight.

But…

Wu Jie did not delve any further, demanding to know everything.

His gaze shifted, smiling at a middle-aged woman.

Though dressed modestly and without obvious luxury brands,

Her features — narrow eyes, a large nose, thin lips — suggested someone particularly adept at cursing and fighting on the streets.

“You say you’re an honest person?

Always abides by the law, strict on oneself?”

The middle-aged woman held her head high with confidence, nodding repeatedly.

It seemed she was well hidden, so not afraid of Wu Jie’s investigation.

“Since you abide by the law, you must understand it.

In your opinion, how should they be judged?”

The woman’s lips twitched slightly, her eyes evasive.

Wu Jie sneered, “Speak up!

You say you respect the law, right?

So, how should they be judged?”

“I…

I think, let’s just go by the law,”

the middle-aged woman said timidly.

Wu Jie nodded with approval, smiled, and then turned to look at a woman in her thirties who was clearly spoiled and exceptionally proud.

She was dressed exquisitely, seemingly very fond of cleanliness, wearing a germ-blocking mask, and had medical gloves on both hands.

Next to her stood a refined-looking man with glasses.

His cautious eyes and ingratiating smile made one feel he was sly and deceitful to the core.

“You say you are timid?

And you also say that you had no idea all along?”

Wu Jie raised an eyebrow and asked with a cold laugh,

“Are you all from the same family?

Do you share a bond of blood thicker than water, a close-knit family connection?”

After seeing both of them nod, Wu Jie continued to question with a smile,

“Then Kong Hailin and others have numerous crimes to their names, owning multiple villas and estates, while cash, antiques, calligraphy, paintings, and jewelry pile up like mountains!”

“Are you really clueless about it?

Never knew?

They never shared any of their ill-gotten gains with you?”

Both decisively shook their heads.

This was blatant feigning ignorance and stupidity.

They acknowledged they were family, yet denied sharing the spoils or knowing about the others’ crimes.

Isn’t this like burying one’s head in the sand, deceiving oneself?

An ice build-up three feet thick doesn’t form in a single day.

The vast interest group led by Kong Hailin didn’t accumulate so much wealth and commit so many crimes overnight.

This wasn’t a spontaneous impulsive crime!

Even if the family claimed ignorance of Kong Hailin’s criminal acts,

over the years, every traditional festival and birthday banquet, so many people came to give gifts and congratulations, were they blind to all of that?

Kong Hailin’s residence and private secret villas, with their numerous collections of antiques, calligraphy, and jewels – were they also unable to recognize?

If they were strangers, it might be believable.

But the problem is…

They clearly admitted they were part of the Kong Family, related to those who had been clapped in irons.

At this moment, the image of these few people was textbook ‘lying through their teeth.’

However…

Wu Jie had no interest in drawing a gun to threaten or tempt them.

With a forced smile, pointing to the intensive care unit, Wu Jie cursed,

“Bastards!

Kong Hailin and the rest are just too damn stingy!

Utterly inhumane, they never treated you as family!”

“They’ve made a fortune, lived in the lap of luxury, yet they haven’t shared a dime with you, not allowing you to profit!”

“Such heartless and unscrupulous scoundrels, they deserved to be caught.

They’re truly cold-blooded and dishonorable!”

…

Hearing Wu Jie’s harsh scolding and tirade,

one by one, they were as mute as cicadas in winter, not daring to make a peep in objection.

How could they object?

Would they say Old Mr.

Kong was not cold-blooded, that he was honorable?

Wouldn’t that be admitting that they knew of some crimes, and even benefited from them?

Of course not.

To save themselves, to barely cling to life, to avoid investigation, and to quietly live as wealthy individuals, they had to keep their mouths shut and say nothing.

After all, it would be very difficult to trace the hidden wealth if they didn’t divulge it.

But…

The most respected elder of the family, being cursed out by Wu Jie like this.

Listening to this, hearts were torn with anguish, and anger flared uncontrollably.

Who would want their elderly family member to be so vilely cursed?

Watching each of them struggle to suppress their rage was like witnessing their ancestral graves being desecrated.

Wu Jie was also taking note in secret.

One by one, their hearts were filled with growing hatred for their brother!

Still, they each had a significant amount of power points, and by deduction, the wealthiest among them owned assets well over a hundred million.

It made sense.

Led by Kong Hailin, that clique had reigned supreme for so many years.

Even if these few people were just picking up scraps, the amounts would not be negligible.

Moreover, from ancient times it’s been said, “It’s easier to deal with the King of Hell than his pesky minions.”

The most corrupt, most audacious, and most vicious individuals are often not those wielding great power.

Rather, it is the influential associates, intimate partners, and family members who are astonishingly powerful.

In recent years, after many corrupt officials were caught, their crime records showed that the initial corruption, the acceptance of bribes and kickbacks, often began with their close relatives.

For instance, a wife, kin, sons, secretaries, and the like slowly corrupted them and involved more people who succumbed to the ‘sugar-coated bullets,’ escalating into severe corruption scandals.

For this reason, any corruption case was never a solitary crime; there was always a group involved.

Take Kong Hailin, with his high position and authority, who received bribes for him?

Who arranged his villas and collections?

Who bribed him for favors?

Without accomplices or cohorts, how could they succeed?

And how could it be possible that their closest family members knew nothing at all?

Therefore…

Wu Jie knew that among the Kong Family of Liuli City, those present here and those absent from the hospital, were definitely ones who slipped through the net and were by no means clean.

It was simply that they held no major power.

They had acquired immense wealth through sharing the spoils and receiving gifts, and hidden it all away.

Like Kong Heng, whose eyes were taken, what power did he ever hold?

Who would curry favor with him?

But given Kong Hailin’s extreme affection and indulgence, he must have ‘rewarded’ Kong Heng generously.

And this astonishing wealth was surely given to Kong Heng in a range of clandestine ways.

After the case broke, Kong Hailin denied everything and refused to confess.

So…

Who knew how much money he actually gave to his obedient grandson?

Not being a mind reader can one guess how this wealth was named, in what form it existed?

Was it in someone else’s bank account?

Or turned into gold bars and hidden somewhere secret?

Without hard evidence, the task force had no way to deal with them.

However…

Wu Jie had no intention of letting them off so easily.

“Sigh, such honest and timid people like you are truly pitiable!”

“This worthless old man didn’t leave you a dime of his ill-gotten gains, so why bother visiting him in the hospital?”

Saying this, Wu Jie turned to the special agent beside him and said,

“Go tell the doctor to stop Kong Hailin’s oxygen and IV!

Since the evidence is irrefutable, what are we waiting for a trial?”

“Since he’ll be sentenced to death sooner or later, why not let him die a bit sooner!

Don’t treatments and hospital stays cost money?”

“The ICU is reserved for patients with serious illnesses; keeping him there is just a waste!”

“Notify the morgue, have them prepare to receive the body immediately!”

“And tell the crematorium, half-cook him will be sufficient!”

…
