Chapter 69 Interrogation
Chen Xuan asked, "Speak. What exactly happened?"
Xu Fei continued,
"After graduating from university, I kept hitting walls in society and couldn't find a job. I finally managed to get hired at my girlfriend's company. I was very happy, and I was even planning to propose to my girlfriend. On that day, I went to deliver documents to my boss, but unexpectedly, I walked in on my girlfriend and my boss doing that in the office."
"Later, in a fit of rage, I stabbed my boss with a fruit knife. That bastard only suffered minor injuries, but he demanded 200,000 yuan from me as compensation, or he would send me to jail. My family is poor, and my parents make a living by setting up stalls to sell vegetables, earning only one or two thousand yuan a month."
"Xu Shijie is my classmate. I had no choice but to borrow money from Xu Shijie. Xu Shijie asked me to secretly help him bid for Hongchen Zui at the auction. He promised that if I successfully bid for the poison Hongchen Zui, he would not only give me 200,000 yuan but also make me the general manager of our company."
"I initially thought he was joking, as it was just an auction. I planned to do Xu Shijie a small favor for free. But after it was done, Xu Shijie really gave me 200,000 yuan, and the next day I received the appointment notice from our company."
"As expected, it was that guy!"
Chen Xuan was furious.
He was now almost certain that Song Ping's poisoning was orchestrated by Xu Shijie!
"Xu Shijie? The one who gave you gifts at the banquet last time?" Hei Hu asked suspiciously.
"Yes, that's him," Chen Xuan nodded with a cold face.
Hei Hu suddenly remembered something and said, "I heard that kid borrowed ten million yuan at high interest. Later, with compounding interest, it reached fifty million. He was cornered at his doorstep and almost had his wife pawned. But for some reason, after making a phone call, that kid managed to gather fifty million and paid off the high-interest loan."
Chen Xuan's expression flickered. It seemed Xu Shijie really had someone behind him.
After all, he knew Xu Shijie's character better than anyone.
He then glanced at Xu Fei and said, "Call Xu Shijie now and ask him to come over."
Xu Fei said tremblingly, "Okay, I'll call him now."
Hei Hu untied Xu Fei and handed him a phone, shouting, "Say what you should say, and don't say what you shouldn't. If you let anything slip, I'll cut you down with a single stroke."
Xu Fei trembled and nodded vigorously. He shakily took the phone and said, "I absolutely wouldn't dare to speak nonsense."
Thus, Xu Fei called Xu Shijie. After hanging up, he turned to Chen Xuan and said, "Xu Shijie will be here soon."
Twenty minutes later, a brand-new Rolls-Royce stopped at the entrance. Xu Shijie jumped out of the car, chewing gum, his hair slicked back with hair gel, looking exceptionally pleased with himself.
Clearly, Xu Shijie had been living quite a comfortable life recently.
He owed fifty million yuan in compounded high-interest loans and was forced to call that mysterious person. He asked for fifty million, and the mysterious person directly transferred one hundred million to him.
Now that he had money, even if he lost his job at Medical God Pharmaceutical, he could live a carefree life!
His previous car was wrecked, so he directly bought a Rolls-Royce worth millions.
Heh, Chen Xuan knew rich women?
He knew a mysterious person too!
He strode in, calling out as he walked, "A Fei, why did you think of asking me for a drink? We must drink until we drop today."
He pushed open the door and entered the living room, only to see Xu Fei with a bruised and swollen face. The smile on his face instantly froze!
He knew something was wrong and instinctively wanted to turn and run, but the person standing behind the door had already kicked the door shut.
Xu Shijie looked at the tall, burly, and fierce-looking thugs behind him, trembling all over.
He slowly retreated and couldn't help but shout at Xu Fei, "I treated you like a brother, and you actually betrayed me like this!"
Xu Fei looked ashamed and choked out, "I had no choice, otherwise, they would have made me a eunuch."
Xu Shijie gritted his teeth in anger.
At this moment, he finally understood what it felt like to be betrayed by a brother, but this feeling was not even a tenth of what he had inflicted on Chen Xuan.
He looked around at everyone and asked, "What do you want? Money? That's easy. As long as you let me go, name your price."
No one spoke.
Money was nothing!
This made Xu Shijie feel less confident. He couldn't help but swallow his saliva and said in a small voice, "I don't think I've offended any of you, have I?"
At this moment, a cold voice sounded, "Are you sure you haven't offended anyone?"
Hearing the familiar voice, Xu Shijie's body stiffened. He looked up abruptly, and when he saw Chen Xuan walking over, his heart sank.
Could it be... could it be that he found out that he was the one who poisoned Song Ping?
No, absolutely not.
It must be that Chen Xuan wanted to take revenge on him...
Xu Shijie stared at Chen Xuan, forcing himself to calm down, and said, "Chen Xuan, you said you would let me go like nothing..."
Chen Xuan stared at Xu Shijie with chilling eyes and said coldly, "In my eyes, you are indeed worse than nothing, but I didn't expect you to poison my mother!"
Hearing this, Xu Shijie felt a cold chill run down his spine, and large drops of cold sweat beaded on his forehead.
He stared at Chen Xuan, trembling all over.
He... he... how did he know?
He took a deep breath and pretended to be calm, saying, "Chen... Chen Xuan, I don't know what you're talking about. Your mother and I have no enmity. Why would I poison your mother? Besides, do you have any evidence?"
Chen Xuan said expressionlessly, "To be honest, I don't know why you poisoned my mother, but I have evidence."
As he said this, Chen Xuan looked at the half-dead Xu Fei.
Xu Shijie also saw Xu Fei and held his breath.
"What are you waiting for? Speak up honestly," Hei Hu said, holding a gleaming saber and gesturing to cut Xu Fei.
Xu Fei was so scared that he peed himself and choked out to Xu Shijie, "Shijie, I had no choice. I shouldn't have betrayed you."
"You bastard! How dare you expose my secrets! I treated you like a brother for nothing."
Xu Shijie was furious and rushed forward to hit Xu Fei.
"Don't move!"
Chen Xuan snatched the saber from Hei Hu's hand and held it against Xu Shijie's shoulder.
Hei Hu blinked. Only when the saber was in Chen Xuan's hand did he feel his grip lighten. The saber had been taken away. He clicked his tongue in amazement, what a master!
He must learn from Mr. Chen well in the future.
Xu Shijie felt a chill under his neck and stared at Chen Xuan, trembling, "What are you doing? Are you going to kill someone?"
Although he knew Chen Xuan would seek revenge, he thought Chen Xuan wouldn't dare to kill anyone.
Chen Xuan's voice was icy, and he stared intently at Xu Shijie, "Xu Shijie, who told you to poison my mother?"
Xu Shijie shook his head, "No, it was me. Jia Jia and I were having an affair, and your mother found out. Fearing that the old man would find out and kick Jia Jia out of the house, I poisoned your mother's water."
"You won't talk? Fine..."
Before the word "fine" could fully escape his lips, a flash of the blade passed, and Chen Xuan cut off Xu Shijie's arm with a raise of his hand.
Xu Shijie immediately let out a piercing scream. He looked at his severed arm on the ground, his face deathly pale, his lips quivering.
He looked at Chen Xuan again, his face filled with terror.
This guy, whom he had yelled at in the guesthouse, was willing to save him when he had cuckolded him, and now he had become so ruthless!
He didn't realize that his understanding was wrong. The reason Chen Xuan saved him was entirely out of responsibility!
"I'll ask you again, and this is the last time. If you don't speak, I'll chop off your head with this saber."
Chen Xuan stared coldly at Xu Shijie and asked again.
"Three!"
Chen Xuan raised the saber, its gleaming edge emitting a chilling, eerie glow.
Xu Shijie wanted to run, but his legs felt like they were filled with lead, rendering him unable to move.
Chen Xuan uttered another word, "Two!"
Xu Shijie's heart leaped into his throat, and cold sweat streamed down his forehead.
"One!"
After uttering the last word, Chen Xuan, without hesitation, brought down the saber in his hand fiercely.
"I'll talk! I'll talk!"
Xu Shijie shut his eyes tightly and yelled loudly!
