Thud.
A subordinate turned on the living room light.
Shen Liangping paid no mind to whether they would be discovered, as the sound of raindrops hitting the tin roof could mask most noises, creating a greater distance between people.
The rented room in the urban village was not large, only about thirty square meters, enough for a basic two-bedroom, one-living room setup.
Upon hearing the commotion outside, Mo Chengkun immediately put on his clothes and walked out of the room.
Shen Liangping sat on a simple sofa, with two subordinates standing on either side. When Mo Chengkun saw the three figures clad in raincoats, his eyelids twitched uncontrollably, and he immediately realized something was amiss.
Danger!
“Who are you people?!”
“Trespassing in a private residence, I’m calling the police to arrest all of you!”
Mo Chengkun reached for his phone to call the police, but one of the thugs standing beside Shen Liangping quickly stepped forward and slapped Mo Chengkun’s phone out of his hand, making Mo Chengkun tremble even more.
“I understand, you’re here to kill me!” Mo Chengkun said with a pounding heart.
Shen Liangping smiled and replied, “That’s right, we are indeed here to kill you. Who told your daughter to get the young master thrown in jail? If you’re not dead, it’s really difficult for me, a dog for the Yu family, to handle things.”
Mo Chengkun let out a desolate laugh.
“You’re going too far, you have no regard for the law. Aren’t you afraid you’ll be killed by someone someday?”
Shen Liangping chuckled, shaking his head repeatedly.
At least for now, he was quite safe.
Mo Chengkun gritted his teeth and said, “If you kill me, you’ll definitely leave traces. The heavy rain can’t wash away all the evidence.”
Shen Liangping felt the old security guard was talking too much, but it was also a good opportunity to chat and alleviate the pent-up frustration of the past few days.
He smiled faintly and said, “Of course, we won’t kill you directly. Instead, we’ll make it look like carbon monoxide poisoning, and then we’ll burn everything. Even if the King of Heaven himself came, he wouldn’t find any trace.”
Not to mention.
They had people within the system.
With a little manipulation, they could guide the police to investigate in the wrong direction, making it impossible to find anything.
Mo Chengkun gradually calmed down, as if speaking his final thoughts, “I heard you were once like me, living at the bottom. Why are you helping the wicked?”
Shen Liangping’s gaze turned cold.
The thing he hated most was people bringing up his origins. He loathed his humble past and believed he had already achieved a class leap, unlike people like Mo Chengkun.
“Silence!”
“How can a lowly citizen like you be in the same category as me? Anyway, there’s no point in saying more to you. If you have any last words, just say them.” Shen Liangping interrupted Mo Chengkun.
Mo Chengkun realized he was doomed and a look of sadness appeared on his face, “You can kill me, but can you spare my daughter?”
Shen Liangping frankly shook his head, “No.”
“Your daughter is the mastermind behind all of this. We’ll spare anyone but your daughter. If you really want us to spare her, it’s not impossible. We’ll send her to the red-light district in Southeast Asia.”
“What do you think?”
Mo Chengkun trembled with rage, “What’s the difference between you and demons for doing this? No, you are demons in human skin. I believe if heaven has eyes, it will surely take you all away.”
Shen Liangping shook his head, unwilling to waste any more time with Mo Chengkun.
Moreover.
He vaguely felt that Mo Chengkun was talking too much.
“Act.”
Shen Liangping commanded.
Two men walked up to Mo Chengkun, preparing to strike.
At this moment.
The living room door made a sound, drawing everyone’s attention to the entrance.
Shen Liangping’s nerves tensed, and he slipped his hand into his pocket, gripping his pistol tightly.
The door opened.
A tall, slender figure stood at the threshold.
When Shen Liangping clearly saw the person’s face, his pupils contracted.
How could it be…
Him?!
The arrival—Chen Jinzhao!
Chen Jinzhao stood at the doorway, making Shen Liangping’s nerves taut.
He never expected Chen Jinzhao to appear at Mo Chengkun’s home at this time. Was it a coincidence? Even a fool would know this was absolutely no coincidence!
In an instant.
Shen Liangping seemed to have figured something out.
His two subordinates also stopped their actions, staring blankly at Chen Jinzhao.
They still remembered Chen Jinzhao’s performance on Star Pill Mountain, which was beyond their capabilities.
Shen Liangping stood up, his expression bordering on breakdown.
The entire plan had no flaws, yet why did Chen Jinzhao still figure out he would be here? Upon seeing Chen Jinzhao, Shen Liangping had already given up resisting.
No matter what, he could not be Chen Jinzhao’s match.
This was an absolute crush in terms of combat power.
“Shen Liangping, you lost.” Chen Jinzhao walked into the living room.
With just one sentence, Shen Liangping’s psychological defenses crumbled. He roared, “Chen Jinzhao, how did you know about my plan? You’re actually early. It would have been better if you showed up after I killed him. Only then would the evidence be ironclad.”
This sentence contained both unwillingness and mockery.
Chen Jinzhao’s emotions were unruffled. Doing so would naturally have led to Shen Liangping’s quicker demise, but the cost would have been too great. If he had done such a thing, he wouldn’t have been Chen Jinzhao anymore.
“I don’t need that.”
“Your conversation just now has been recorded by me. You’d better think about how you’re going to explain your criminal acts to the police later.” Chen Jinzhao’s words caused Shen Liangping’s heart to sink further.
Chen Jinzhao walked up to Mo Chengkun. “Uncle Mo, are you alright?”
“I apologize for not telling you the truth earlier and causing you to worry.”
From the beginning.
Chen Jinzhao had kept this plan from Mo Chengkun.
Mo Chengkun, however, smiled with great joy and sought praise from Chen Jinzhao, “Xiao Chen, I actually guessed about eighty percent of it. That’s why I was subtly questioning this guy just now.”
“How was it?”
“Wasn’t I amazing?”
Chen Jinzhao showed a look of surprise, then nodded and smiled, “Uncle Mo, you’ve made a great contribution this time. I was worried he would silence him directly, but I didn’t expect you to get information out of him.”
Mo Chengkun chuckled.
In fact, when he had guessed the plan, he was quite scared. But later, he also figured that instead of living a muddled life, it was better to do something meaningful for society.
Even though he was just a security guard at the bottom of society, he should still contribute to society.
Shen Liangping let out a mournful laugh.
He had been cautious and meticulous for half his life, only to fall into the hands of two security guards. What a ridiculous end!
“Chen Jinzhao!”
“I still don’t understand how you figured out I’d be at Mo Chengkun’s house. Do you have telepathy? But I don’t believe in that stuff.” Shen Liangping was filled with many doubts.
Chen Jinzhao looked at Shen Liangping and shook his head slightly.
“Your mistake was being too confident.”
“You thought you set up a trap within a trap, but didn’t you ever consider that I also set up two traps?”
