Qian Deshui's scalp tingled.
What Ning Fei had done couldn't be called human, it was worse than that of pigs and dogs.
He secretly glanced at Chen Jinzhao and found that Chen Jinzhao's expression had already turned grim, with wisps of cold air emanating from him.
He knew that Chen Jinzhao was angry.
This also meant that Ning Fei would definitely not have a good end awaiting him.
Chu Zixiong also told Chen Jinzhao another thing - the Ning family controlled many media outlets, both openly and secretly. Any public opinion unfavorable to the Ning family could be suppressed immediately, or other news could be released to overshadow the negative impact.
This was also why the Ning family could prosper for so long.
Chen Jinzhao sneered, "Dynasties change, noble families rise and fall. Nothing lasts forever. It's just that no one has targeted the Ning family before. With me here, I will absolutely not let Ning Fei have an easy time."
Chu Zixiong repeatedly agreed.
However, in his heart, he didn't believe Chen Jinzhao had such great ability.
Jiangnan Real Estate Group was deeply entrenched in Ninghai City and couldn't be uprooted overnight. Moreover, Ning Fei wasn't so foolish as to wait for Chen Jinzhao to make a move before taking countermeasures.
"Having followed Ning Fei for so many years, haven't you gathered any evidence against him?" Chen Jinzhao asked.
Chu Zixiong thought carefully and then shook his head dejectedly, "Ning Fei is too cautious; he's always guarding against me. The evidence I possess is all about Old Master Ning. But as you can see now... Old Master Ning has been imprisoned, and my evidence is useless."
In a word, he had been with Ning Fei for too short a time.
Only a few months.
This period was not enough to obtain any substantial evidence.
Chen Jinzhao grunted, believing he wouldn't dare lie. He tapped his fingertips on the sofa a few times and then asked, "A few days ago, you asked Liang Zhichao for my mother's address and information. What exactly did you want to do?"
Chu Zixiong originally intended to lie.
But when he met Chen Jinzhao's sharp gaze, he shivered all over, and that thought was immediately suppressed.
"I, I'll tell you..."
"At that time, Ning Fei wanted to make Young Master Chen suffer, so he focused his attention on your mother. Then he sent seven people to Leyang County, intending to teach Young Master Chen's mother a lesson."
As he said this, Chen Jinzhao suddenly raised his foot and kicked Chu Zixiong in the chest!
Bang!
Chu Zixiong was sent flying backward, smashing several tables. A mist of blood spurted from his mouth, dyeing his clothes red.
At this moment.
Chu Zixiong smelled the scent of death.
In his eyes, Chen Jinzhao was like a demon god descending. Terrified, Chu Zixiong not only dared not flee but scrambled back to Chen Jinzhao and knelt down.
He spoke rapidly, for fear that Chen Jinzhao would kick him to death again, "However, the seven people we sent out have all disappeared. Most likely, they have been killed. I haven't been able to contact them until now. At first, I thought Young Master Chen killed them, but it seems Young Master Chen doesn't know about this. I can guarantee that every word I say is true, without any falsehoods."
Chen Jinzhao's anger subsided a little.
At least he knew that his mother in the county town was safe.
He exchanged a glance with Qian Deshui. Qian Deshui quickly shook his head, indicating he knew nothing about this matter.
This was strange!
Chen Jinzhao initially thought Qian Deshui had learned of it and sent people to intercept them, but now it seemed it wasn't Qian Deshui's doing.
Who could it be?
Chen Jinzhao scrutinized Chu Zixiong again, "You mean, those seven people are all dead?"
Chu Zixiong weakly affirmed.
Chen Jinzhao's brow furrowed. Those seven people couldn't possibly have been killed by his mother, could they? In his memory, his mother could barely kill a chicken, let alone a person.
"That's all I know. I don't know anything else," Chu Zixiong said.
Chen Jinzhao came back to his senses, "The information you've provided is still too little. If there's no useful information, I will still kill you. Ning Fei is not clean, and you are not much better."
Having worked for the Ning family for many years, Chu Zixiong's hands were already stained with blood.
Chu Zixiong kowtowed repeatedly, begging for mercy, showing no trace of his former arrogance. He looked more like a stray dog.
"Wait!"
"I still have something to say!"
"Behind Jiangnan Real Estate, there is a shadow. That shadow can influence the Ning family's decisions."
Chu Zixiong's words made Chen Jinzhao pause. He retorted, "A shadow?"
"That's right. Apart from a few select individuals, no one knows of that shadow's existence. As far as I know, it's a foreigner. The Ning family's real estate group has been able to develop so rapidly over the years, largely thanks to that foreigner's help. Moreover, over the years, the Ning family has been collecting certain things for that foreigner. If you can capture that foreigner, you can get rid of Ning Fei."
A foreigner?
Chen Jinzhao's eyebrows twitched.
Furthermore, Chu Zixiong mentioned that the foreigner required the Ning family to collect certain things, which could be from hostile forces.
This was indeed useful information.
"The information you've provided is quite useful to me, so I'll give you a way out," Chen Jinzhao said with a smile.
"Please guide me, Young Master Chen!" Chu Zixiong said urgently.
"After you leave, go directly to the police station and surrender. Then truthfully confess your crimes, and you might get a chance to live," Chen Jinzhao's words made Chu Zixiong's face change drastically.
He stammered, "That, isn't that sending me to my death?"
"Young Master Chen, you can't harm me!"
Qian Deshui snorted, "What do you think you are? It's as easy for Young Master Chen to kill you as it is to crush an ant. As long as you follow Young Master Chen's arrangements, you will surely find a way to survive."
Chu Zixiong still wanted to say something, but Chen Jinzhao waved his hand, "See him out, I'm getting tired."
Qian Deshui immediately gestured for Shi Chengzhi to escort Chu Zixiong out.
Chu Zixiong felt like he had been toyed with by Chen Jinzhao the entire time. After leaving Xuantian Bar, he did not head to the police station but intended to go back, pack his things, and flee!
His plan was to first go to another province and then leave the country.
"If this place doesn't keep me, there are other places that will," Chu Zixiong snorted coldly, feeling extremely indignant at being used as a pawn by Chen Jinzhao.
Inside the bar.
Chen Jinzhao wanted to call his mother to ask what had happened that night and how those seven people had vanished into thin air. But now was not the time; he would wait until he got home.
Qian Deshui received a few phone calls and then said to Chen Jinzhao, "Mr. Chen, Chu Zixiong did not go to the police station to surrender. Should we send people to intercept him?"
Chen Jinzhao shook his head.
Qian Deshui was puzzled. Wasn't this letting Chu Zixiong escape for nothing?
"The real show is yet to come," Chen Jinzhao said with a smile.
"I said, going to the police station to surrender was his only way to live. If he doesn't cherish it, who can he blame?"
Twenty minutes later.
Qian Deshui received a call from a subordinate. After listening, he looked at Chen Jinzhao in shock, "Mr. Chen, Chu Zixiong was in a car accident on his way home. Both he and his car were crushed into a pancake by a渣土车 (slurry truck)!"
Chen Jinzhao was truly divine!
As Qian Deshui was shocked, he also felt a deep sense of reverence for Chen Jinzhao. No wonder Chen Jinzhao could achieve such high status at his age; without exceptional ability, it would be impossible!
From this moment on.
Qian Deshui was completely convinced and surrendered himself to Chen Jinzhao.
