Chapter 390 - 390 390 It Turns Out He is the Murderer

390: Chapter 390: It Turns Out He is the Murderer 390: Chapter 390: It Turns Out He is the Murderer Xiang Yu knew that Zhong Huashan’s visit today wasn’t so simple.

He must have found out that his own capture was the work of his subordinates, and the only ones with the strength and guts to do that were his four lieutenants.

Of course, there were traitors among his bodyguards, who had been expelled the night before when he returned.

“A few days ago, I was ambushed on my way back.

Luckily, my brothers fought to the death to protect me, allowing me to barely make it back,” Zhong Huashan finished speaking, then looked at the four men with a gloomy face.

All four lieutenants looked at Zhong Huashan with surprise.

Ding Yongwei was even more incredulous, “This area is full of our brothers, who would dare to make a move on the boss?”

Miao Honglei was also visibly angry, clenching his fists and saying, “This is outrageous, boss, who did this?”

Mo Lan and Shen San, although surprised, didn’t speak.

From their facial expressions, it was impossible to tell who the culprit was.

Looking at the expressions of the four, Zhong Huashan said with a smile, “According to my understanding, this person is right among us.”

Zhong Huashan’s words were like a timed bomb that exploded among them, and all four looked at each other with suspicion in their eyes.

Especially Miao Honglei and Ding Yongwei.

Ding Yongwei dealt with arms and had the largest influence among them, plus the guy had big ambitions.

He was the one who had suggested Luo Lin to be the boss’s personal bodyguard captain just earlier.

If Luo Lin became the bodyguard captain, it would mean he controlled all of the boss’s movements, making it easy for him to kill the boss.

And after killing the boss, he would naturally become the new leader.

Given his influence, he could suppress the others with force, which he was capable of doing.

Then there was Miao Honglei, whose power was second only to Ding Yongwei’s.

But the suspicion towards him was much less because, even if he killed the boss, the position wouldn’t be his.

“Is it you?” Miao Honglei looked at Ding Yongwei suspiciously, then unconsciously distanced himself a bit more from him.

“Bullshit, how could it be me?

I am fiercely loyal to the boss.

Even if everyone else betrays him, it would never be me,” Ding Yongwei said agitatedly, because he saw everyone’s gaze focusing on him, and those gazes were filled with doubt.

At this moment, a group of people had already surrounded the four of them.

“If it’s not you, why are you so agitated?” Miao Honglei shouted back.

“You’re framing me, how can I not be agitated?

I’m saying it’s you.

Haven’t you been acting all secretive lately?

Are you trying to frame the boss?” Ding Yongwei retorted, looking unsettled.

Miao Honglei replied with a contemptuous smile, “Why would I frame the boss, what good would it do me?”

“Who knows what benefits you have?” Ding Yongwei retorted shamelessly.

The two of them had seemed on good terms on the surface before, but today their relationship had completely collapsed.

Coupled with Xiang Yu’s competition with Luo Lin for the role of bodyguard captain, the rift between them was growing larger.

“Ding Yongwei, what have you been up to lately?” Mo Lan asked at that moment.

“You suspect me too?” Ding Yongwei said through clenched teeth.

“I’m not suspecting you, just asking,” Mo Lan said indifferently.

Mo Lan stared straight into Ding Yongwei’s eyes, hoping to catch some hints from his facial expressions, but Ding Yongwei grew increasingly agitated, finally slamming the table and saying, “You two ungrateful scum, I’ve been good to you, and now you turn around and bite me.

Are you even human?”

“The past is the past, and now is now.

No matter how you treated us before, if you dare harm the boss, you are our enemy,” Miao Honglei spoke with righteous indignation.

Actually, he hoped it was Ding Yongwei.

Ding Yongwei had substantial influence, and if it was him, naturally, that would be great.

He could arrest him today and be done with it; then it would be Miao Honglei who had the most significant power.

If it wasn’t him, taking this opportunity to suppress him was also desirable.

“Stop beating around the bush.

I’m just asking, what have you been up to these days?” Mo Lan’s gaze suddenly turned icy.

Despite her usual composure, her intimidating demeanour was enough to make anyone shudder with fear.

“Big brother, don’t be hasty.” At this moment, Luo Lin hurried over to restrain Ding Yongwei, signaling to him to stay calm.

He was on the verge of becoming the close bodyguard of the big boss; if Ding Yongwei got into trouble now, he couldn’t escape responsibility either.

“What have I been doing?

Why should I report to you, who are you to me?” Ding Yongwei, defiant, pointed at Mo Lan as he spoke.

“Did you commit this act?” Even though Mo Lan’s eyes were cold, she did not act impulsively.

“It wasn’t me, I didn’t do it,” Ding Yongwei emphasized each word.

“If it wasn’t you, why won’t you say what you’ve been doing these days?

It’s clear you have a guilty conscience.

Plus, if the boss were in trouble, you would stand to gain the most.

If it was one of us four, it would definitely be you,” Mo Lan accused aggressively.

“You, you bitch…” Unable to out-argue the other, Ding Yongwei started to curse, then, unable to hold back, he prepared to get physical.

Just then, Miao Honglei quickly stepped forward to grab Ding Yongwei’s arm.

In theory, Miao Honglei was preventing Ding Yongwei from becoming violent, but in reality, he was only provoking him further.

Seeing someone blocking him, Ding Yongwei grew even more infuriated and, yelling loudly, he swung a punch at Mo Lan.

“Arrest him,” Zhong Huashan finally spoke up at that moment.

Zhong Huashan’s words effectively put a full stop to the affair, as the surrounding people quickly closed in and subdued Ding Yongwei.

He, however, refused to accept the situation and kept shouting.

“Boss, after all our years of camaraderie, do you think I would harm you?

What are you trying to say?” Ding Yongwei shouted.

“Boss, I swear it wasn’t my big brother who did it.

I stake my life on it,” Luo Lin suddenly pleaded on his knees.

“Arrest him too,” Zhong Huashan said without any mercy.

Luo Lin was Ding Yongwei’s close brother.

If it was Ding Yongwei’s doing, then he surely couldn’t get away from being implicated.

At that moment, Luo Lin was utterly dumbfounded; he hadn’t expected this outcome today.

He had been on the brink of reaching for the stars, but now he had become a prisoner at the steps.

Moreover, he had nowhere to argue his case since no one else would believe his words.

Even Ding Yongwei had been arrested; what hope could he have?

He might as well give up hope for his entire life.

He just felt some regrets, not being able to defeat Xiang Yu, or seeing the despondent expression on Xiang Yu’s face when defeated.

Ding Yongwei continued to shout, as if he had gone mad.

“Take him away, lock him up,” Zhong Huashan seemed tired as well, and then he said dejectedly.

“Who would have thought it was him, truly a case of ‘knowing the face but not the heart’,” Shen San remarked at that moment.

Xiang Yu witnessed everything, and he was very doubtful; given Zhong Huashan’s astuteness, it was unlikely he would conclude the matter so hastily since many questions remained unanswered.

Could it be that he had already investigated thoroughly and confirmed that Ding Yongwei was the perpetrator…
