Chapter 207: Chapter 206: Use Their Own Way, Apply It to Themselves

(I’m really sorry, the update today is somewhat late, mainly because as the end of the year approaches, there were some matters to address, making you all wait. I sincerely apologize to everyone here!)

Chapter 206

If they annoyed him, he was determined to make them even more annoyed, and, he had to let them know, it was he himself making them uncomfortable, what could they possibly do about it!

But how could he make them feel annoyed?

The best method was undoubtedly to use their own tactics against them.

Did they not think highly of their own backgrounds? Did the fools really believe they could use their power and privileged status to kick him out of school? Well, he would show them his power and make them understand that they were nothing but clowns. Not only were they incapable of kicking him out of school, but he would actually turn the tables and kick them out instead!

Should he ask Chen Jianguo to pressure the school?

That was undoubtedly a good method. With Chen Jianguo’s capability, although he hadn’t thoroughly looked into Gao Junjie and the other Four Young Evil Masters’ backgrounds, the few things they had shown were enough to give him an idea. If Chen Jianguo stepped up, he could definitely achieve the desired effect.

Moreover, he could even reach out to the Han Family. He had saved Old Master Han, and the Han Family owed him a huge favor. If he merely mentioned it to them, with the Han Family’s power, not to mention kicking them out of school, erasing their families entirely would be a piece of cake.

But this thought just flickered in his mind and passed. Satisfying as it seemed, relying on others’ power was never Xiao Yi’s style!

After all, if he used others’ power to coerce people, what difference would there be between him and the Four Young Evil Masters?

Besides, to deal with minor characters like the Four Young Evil Masters, he had plenty of methods and did not need to rely on anyone’s power.

Humph, the Four Young Evil Masters... such a grand title. Let me see for myself just how terrible the Four Young Evil Masters really are...

After pondering for a while, Xiao Yi’s eyes glanced sideways at Gao Junjie and the other three, who were gloating nearby. A faint sneer appeared on his lips, and his fingers gently tapped on the tabletop.

......

"Do you know what it means, what you’re saying right now?"

Zeng Xiaomei suppressed the fury in her heart, her gaze icy as she stared at the person behind the interrogation table.

This morning, from the mouths of those pitiful students’ parents, she acquired the truth, looking at those youths wrapped up like zongzi lying on the white hospital beds, and observing their wind-worn faces, Zeng Xiaomei’s heart ignited like a blazing fire. She wished she could immediately apprehend Li Xiaohan and his parent, who abetted the assault, and execute them all with a single shot.

She simply couldn’t imagine that in this day and age, such appalling scenarios would still occur. She had always thought such plots were exaggerated fabrications conjured by some media and resentful anti-rich factions.

She too was a Noble Family Young Master and had been immersed in this social circle from a young age. She knew that people in this circle did indeed have some bad habits due to family backgrounds, such as arrogance and overbearing behavior, like the Li Family’s young masters, all of whom she knew to be of poor character. But it was impossible for them to be so brutal and to commit such outrageous actions. Let alone her, if she ever did such a thing, she would definitely be severely punished by her family.

At least, she had never seen anyone among the Noble Family Young Masters she knew to be so cruel and brazenly belligerent.

But when she went to apprehend Li Xiaohan, an unexpected thing occurred; Li Xiaohan completely denied his presence at the scene and insisted vehemently that they were framing him, mentioning previous conflicts at school.

She was completely certain Li Xiaohan was lying, yet she could not produce any evidence. The internet cafe shockingly had no surveillance footage, and no witnesses could be found from the day of the incident.

The students under those circumstances certainly couldn’t have recorded videos or audios, and the words of their parents, merely second-hand accounts, could not be admitted as evidence either.

However, even so, she wouldn’t just be out of options, if she simply had no means, she would indeed betray her title as the top police officer. Faced with a high school student who trembles when speaking to her, who hadn’t yet grown into his own, she was confident she had ways to make him tell the truth. All she needed was a little bit of time, but just as she was feeling extremely frustrated and was preparing to employ some measures, the most frustrating thing happened—the person who had committed the assault that day came forward of his own accord to confess. The perpetrator was someone she recognized, a notorious local thug.

She had already known Li Xiaohan’s family background wasn’t simple—aside from his father being a businessman, it seemed he had some connections higher up. However, as far as she was concerned, this had no influence whatsoever on her. Not to mention someone with a minor background and connections like his, even if it were a member of the Li Family, if involved in such an incident and ended up in her hands, she would absolutely not be lenient, even if her family members opposed her, she would handle it the same way!

It wasn’t that she was immature, foolish, lacked a big-picture perspective, or political tact—it was her principle and bottom line!

There were some things she could compromise on, and others she absolutely could not!

But the problem now wasn’t about the background; it was that the thug right before her insisted he was the one who did it, taking all the blame upon himself. She absolutely couldn’t do anything with Li Xiaohan, the obvious real culprit!

Although she clearly knew it was Li Xiaohan’s doing, and she had the ability to directly target Li Xiaohan using her power, as a legal officer, a people’s police officer, she didn’t allow herself to act in that manner. Therefore, the only option was to make this guy change his statement and confess Li Xiaohan’s involvement.

"Know how many decades you could get sentenced?"

From behind the interrogation table, the man with a sallow face, long hair in disarray, and so emaciated that only skin and bones remained, smiled faintly, seemingly unfazed by Zeng Xiaomei’s icy gaze or the anger emanating from her.

"Sentenced to several decades? You wish! Let me tell you, you’re suspected of intentional homicide. That’s at least the death penalty!"

Zeng Xiaomei’s lips curled into a cold smile.

"So I die, big deal. When you’re in this life, sooner or later, you see this day coming."

Upon hearing the death penalty, a brief flash of desolation crossed the man’s deeply sunken eyes, but it was just a fleeting moment, then his face regained its previous indifference.

"You...!!"

Zeng Xiaomei hadn’t expected this guy, not even afraid of death, to respond so nonchalantly to her mentioning the death penalty, suddenly couldn’t help slamming the table, standing up, and glaring at him furiously.

"Huang Qinzhe, I know you’re a thug, but you definitely wouldn’t go to such extremes as hacking students to death in the street. At most, you’d follow behind and shout a few threats. You’d better come clean about everything, tell me if someone secretly instructed you to come out and confess!"

It took a while for Zeng Xiaomei to realize her lapse in composure, and moreover, this was not helping the case at all. After taking a deep breath and momentarily suppressing her anger, she regained her composure, sat down, and looked at the man across from her.

"Captain Zeng, you’re thinking too much. I’m just a thug living a life of bloodshed. Stabbing people is all too common. This time I really didn’t intend to stab those students; I just stabbed the wrong person, that’s all."

The man lowered his head upon hearing Zeng Xiaomei’s words, was silent for a while, then raised his head again, his expression stoic, "Captain Zeng, I’ve confessed to what needs confessing, just sentence me however you see fit."

"You...!! Okay, even if you did stab someone, the case hasn’t been broken yet, you could totally run. Why come forward to confess? Huang Guangliang, I remember you have a sister, right? If you take the blame and end up sentenced to death, what will happen to your sister?"

Zeng Xiaomei was so furious she almost jumped up again, and it took a while to suppress her inner rage, coldly staring into his eyes. As she spoke, her mind suddenly recalled the information she had on this man, and the corners of her mouth curled up in a cold smile.

"Captain Zeng, I did the deed, and I alone should answer for it. No need to say anything further. As for my sister, choosing this path was wrong on my part, and I owe it to her. Without me, maybe she could live a bit better."

Upon hearing Zeng Xiaomei’s words, the man’s body suddenly stiffened, his sallow face showing change for the first time, unable to maintain his previous composure. Pain flickered through his calm eyes, his facial muscles twitched violently, and his emaciated hands trembled slightly.

But it was only a moment; all signs of agitation soon vanished, and he lifted his head again, looking at Zeng Xiaomei with an indifferent expression.
