Both Wang Haiyang and Jin Peng were startled by the look in Deputy Officer Zhou's eyes.
Wang Haiyang instantly understood. Deputy Officer Zhou had been invited by Chu Lingtian as a helper. It seemed Chu Lingtian indeed had an extraordinary background.
Jin Peng also hadn't expected Chu Lingtian to directly bring in someone from the military.
"Who among you wants to kill Mr. Chu? Step forward!"
Deputy Officer Zhou looked at Wang Haiyang, who quickly shook his head in fear.
He then looked at the relatively calm Jin Peng, who also instinctively shook his head.
Deputy Officer Zhou's gaze finally settled on Brother Leopard.
Seeing that both big shots had backed down, Brother Leopard had no reason to stand his ground.
Brother Leopard grinned, revealing a row of large, yellow teeth, and quickly shook his head.
"So, none of you want to kill Mr. Chu?"
Deputy Officer Zhou said with a chuckle, "However, I know Mr. Chu very well. He's not one to lie!"
"Which of you three wants to kill Mr. Chu? Step forward immediately, or none of you will survive today!"
As he spoke, Brother Leopard stepped out from between the three men.
Deputy Officer Zhou sneered, "He's still a man. Men, take him down and execute him!"
Brother Leopard quickly said, "No... no... it wasn't me, I was pushed out!"
He turned back to Jin Peng and Wang Haiyang with a furious expression.
Although he didn't know which scoundrel had pushed him out, Brother Leopard was certain of one thing: someone had indeed shoved him.
He wasn't stupid. The nail that sticks out gets hammered. There was no need to rush to his death!
Jin Peng's face darkened, and he said coldly, "Black Leopard, a man does what he does. I came to support you, so don't talk nonsense!"
"When we left earlier, your wife took the kids to visit your home. We're all brothers. You can't betray me!"
Next, Wang Haiyang also spoke.
"You offended Mr. Chu without knowing your limits and then falsely accused Mr. Chu of murder. I came because of your report!"
"However, you've committed many evils. I will personally lead a team to search your home later and find more evidence of your crimes!"
Damn it!
These two guys changed their tune as quickly as the weather in June.
But Brother Leopard understood their meaning. They were both using his family to threaten him, forcing him to be the scapegoat.
Brother Leopard was indignant in his heart but dared not speak.
After all, he knew that Jin Peng and Wang Haiyang were not good people and would genuinely harm his family.
Chu Lingtian smiled and said, "I don't think it's very good for you to threaten him so openly!"
Chu Lingtian understood their little tricks as soon as he heard them.
He looked at Brother Leopard and said, "Actually, you don't need to be afraid. You can say whatever you want!"
"They can't leave here today, so they can't threaten your family. If you believe me, I can send people to protect your family right now!"
Chu Lingtian looked at Brother Leopard earnestly, which made Brother Leopard’s heart waver.
The situation was clear now. These two guys wanted to sacrifice him as a scapegoat. He certainly couldn't just sit back and wait for death.
"You need to think carefully. I don't think they will let you live!"
Jin Peng immediately looked at Brother Leopard, his eyes filled with fierce killing intent.
"Black Leopard, don't be fooled by him. If you dare to speak nonsense, even if I can't deal with you, I'm afraid... you know who will deal with you!"
Chu Lingtian sneered, "Just say it. Isn't there still Master Long? It would have been better if he hadn't come to Dachang City. If he dares to come, I'll make sure he never leaves!"
Chu Lingtian's lips curved slightly, and his gaze was as sharp as a knife as he looked at him.
Deputy Officer Zhou also spoke.
"What Mr. Chu says is what Commander Xiao says. Just tell the truth, and the military will protect you!"
This sentence completely reassured Brother Leopard.
He looked at the two men and said coldly, "You have been unkind to me, so don't blame me for being unrighteous!"
Then, Brother Leopard revealed what he knew.
In Dachang City, he was not only responsible for the casino business but also helped Master Long eliminate rivals. Several murder cases in Dachang City were committed by Brother Leopard under Jin Peng's orders.
While Brother Leopard did dirty work for Master Long, Wang Haiyang provided cover and smoothed things over.
Wang Haiyang had made significant contributions to Master Long's underground organization being able to operate with impunity in Dachang City.
"Director Wang, do you have anything else to say?"
Chu Lingtian said coldly, "As the police chief of Dachang City, you colluded with them and made Dachang City a mess. How dare you face the people of Dachang City?"
Wang Haiyang knew Chu Lingtian's identity was not simple. Now that his secrets were exposed by Brother Leopard, his face turned deathly pale, and his legs trembled.
He wondered how Chu Lingtian would deal with him.
"What? Not talking anymore? I'll give you a chance to redeem yourself. If you honestly confess your dealings with Master Long, you can be spared your life. Otherwise, you'll be shot right now!"
Chu Lingtian said unhurriedly, "Others are staying out of it, but you're willing to risk your life. There's no need for that!"
"Besides, if I catch you, even if I let you go, will Master Long still trust you? He'll probably kill you anyway!"
The more Wang Haiyang listened, the more scared he became. He knew Master Long's methods.
Just as Chu Lingtian said, even if he got out of here today, Master Long wouldn't trust him and would likely get rid of him.
Seeing that Wang Haiyang was also wavering, Jin Peng's expression turned even uglier.
"Wang Haiyang, Master Long won't treat us as disposable pawns. Don't believe this kid's nonsense!"
"If you betray Master Long, your entire family will die a horrible death, reduced to ashes!"
Hearing Jin Peng's words, Wang Haiyang hesitated again.
Chu Lingtian turned his head and said, "You are truly loyal to your Master Long. I just wonder if your Master Long trusts you the same way?"
"How about we play a game? Let's test your Master Long. See what his reaction will be if he finds out you've been arrested!"
Jin Peng immediately said, "No matter what tricks you play, even if I die here, I won't betray Master Long!"
He didn't know what trick Chu Lingtian was up to, and while he appeared calm, he was very nervous inside.
"You can just sit over there. I'll contact your Master Long now!"
Chu Lingtian looked at Wang Haiyang and said, "You know Master Long's phone number, right?"
Wang Haiyang wanted to shake his head, but in the end, he nodded.
"That's right. Cooperating with me won't do you any harm!"
Chu Lingtian said with a smile, "Then please help me make a call. Tell him that Jin Peng has been arrested by the military in Dachang City and see what his reaction is."
