Swish, swish, swish!
Shocked gazes converged on Tan Liangliang.
Brother Liang slumped to the ground, tears streaming down his face, "I'm the murderer who killed Li Tie, I'm the real killer!"
"If I had known earlier that Li Tong was a heartless, brutal demon, I would have broken his hands and feet!"
"If that were the case!"
"How could he have picked up a cleaver and killed his uncle?"
"It's all my fault!"
His impassioned plea stirred sympathy in many.
Even Lu Xiaojia felt he had a point...
"Alright, this isn't your fault. None of us expected Li Tong to be so cruel!" Lu Xiaojia sighed.
Although she knew Chen Nan was the real killer.
She currently lacked evidence.
Of course.
There was no rush with this matter, as she had already become the local beat cop.
She was sure to find leverage against Chen Nan.
Then, the forensic doctor arrived and went through the motions, declaring Li Tie dead.
Besides that, Sun Sihai contacted Director Zhou and informed him about Tan Liangliang's fight with the murderer.
Thus.
The altercation was dropped.
"Chen Nan, you'd better not fall into my hands!" Lu Xiaojia uttered a harsh warning and left the shantytown with her team.
Chen Nan looked at He Shanshan and said softly, "Sister Shanshan, the Li Tong uncle and nephew have paid the price they deserve. You can let go of your hatred now!"
He Shanshan glanced at Chen Nan with complex emotions.
She knew.
Chen Nan was definitely involved behind Li Tong's public attack.
Moreover, she had a hunch that Chen Nan might have been controlling Li Tong's body.
Though it sounded far-fetched.
If he hadn't been secretly controlling Li Tong's body, how could Li Tong have gone mad and chopped his uncle to death?
Why didn't he attack anyone else?
"Although the uncle and nephew deserved to die, Li Gang is the true sinner!" He Shanshan said with pain, "If he hadn't had Li Tong's age altered, he would have been sentenced two years ago and wouldn't have gotten away with it for so long!"
Chen Nan nodded slightly, "Don't worry, he won't have a good end."
"You classmates should catch up. I'm going upstairs to rest." He Shanshan went upstairs, looking haggard.
Tan Liangliang flashed a brilliant smile, "Chen the Madman, how was my acting just now?"
"It's a shame you're not an actor," Chen Nan gave him a thumbs-up. If not for Tan Liangliang's heartfelt performance just now, his fight with Li Tong wouldn't have been so easily resolved.
Tan Liangliang chuckled, "You don't know, do you? Brother is actually an actor now, albeit a minor one!"
"Really?" Chen Nan was greatly surprised.
Tan Liangliang beamed proudly, "Do you think I'd lie about that? I'm currently filming a web drama in Beicheng. Although my scenes aren't many, I can be considered the fourth male lead."
"I remember your dream in high school was to be an actor, right? You've finally achieved it," Chen Nan said. "No words needed. I hope Brother Liang becomes a superstar soon and introduces me to some beautiful actresses!"
"That's a piece of cake!" Tan Liangliang laughed heartily. He glanced at his watch, "It's getting late. I have to go film. Let's meet at Pei Jian's tomorrow!"
Chen Nan casually tossed him an amulet, "I got this from the temple. It's said to bring safety. You'll inevitably have dangerous stunts while filming. Wearing this will keep you safe!"
"Good heavens, you're still so superstitious? Alright, alright, Brother Liang will give you face!" Tan Liangliang smiled, put it around his neck, and then drove away.
After Tan Liangliang left.
Chen Nan returned to the clinic.
He spread his palm open. In his palm lay a short strand of hair.
The owner of this hair was Li Tong.
"Li Gang, Li Gang, Taoism emphasizes causality. Your son's wrongdoing outside might seem unrelated to you, but it's a result of your indulgence!"
"Today, Li Tong killed someone in public. I wonder if you, as his father, can save him!"
"If not, then you and your son can reunite in prison!"
Chen Nan could now make Li Tong confess Li Gang's illegal activities.
But this matter didn't seem urgent.
------
"Mr. Li, something has happened!"
Li Gang was in a meeting at the company.
His secretary burst in in panic.
Li Gang, with a face full of anger, said, "Can't you see I'm in a meeting? If you have something, go to Second Master!"
The secretary nervously replied, "This matter concerns Second Master."
Li Gang frowned, "What happened to Second Master?"
The secretary, suppressing her unease, said, "Second Master... Second Master has been killed!"
The moment these words were spoken.
A collective gasp echoed through the conference room.
The mid-to-high-level leaders of Anbang Logistics were all astonished.
No one had expected Li Tie to be murdered.
Li Gang slammed the table, his eyes blazing with fury, "How dare you joke about something like this? Are you tired of living?"
"No, I'm not joking." The secretary trembled in fear. "I just received a call from the police, asking you to go to the funeral home to identify the body."
Li Gang's face turned pale, and he let out a thunderous roar, "Damn it, what happened? Who killed my second brother?"
"It was..."
Li Gang, enraged, interjected, "Stop beating around the bush! Who killed my second brother?"
"It was the young master," the secretary said nervously. "The young master killed Second Master in public in the shantytown in Nancheng. This has already made the news."
"No!" Li Gang's pupils dilated with blood, unable to accept it. "This is impossible! How could Li Tong kill his own uncle? I don't believe it!"
He became like a madman.
He immediately sent his driver to the funeral home.
Although his son was a bit willful.
Although he spent money lavishly.
Although he often caused trouble for him.
His son was still a sensible and filial person.
And he and his uncle had a very close relationship.
They had never argued in their lives.
How could uncle and nephew turn against each other?
He couldn't accept his son killing his own brother!
However.
When he arrived at the funeral home.
When he saw his familiar brother lying quietly in the cold storage.
He felt as if he had been struck by lightning.
His death had been painful.
His face was ashen.
His expression was ferocious.
Especially the wounds on his neck.
They were horrifying.
"Why is this happening? Why is this happening?" Li Gang sobbed uncontrollably.
The driver stood beside him and said heavily, "The young master ran into trouble in the shantytown and called Second Master for help."
"But for some reason, the young master went mad, picked up a cleaver from the ground, and chopped Second Master on the neck."
"Due to the severe injuries, Second Master died on the spot!"
"Rebellious son, rebellious son! I shouldn't have given birth to him back then!" Li Gang's face was grim, like a rampaging lion, exuding a powerful aura.
The driver hesitated and said, "Boss, what happened today is very strange. After the young master killed Second Master and was apprehended, he claimed that a ghost was controlling his body and that killing Second Master was not his intention."
