Chapter 755: Chapter 755

Zhang Yang’s brows furrowed deeply, and his mind immediately turned to Lin Fucheng.

Tang Tiantian quickly stepped forward as well, "Is there some kind of misunderstanding? We didn’t kill anyone."

Maozi didn’t give Tang Tiantian a chance to explain and forcibly took Zhang Yang and Tang Tiantian away.

Zhang Yang did not resist. Resisting at this moment would be unwise, and he needed to find out who was trying to harm him.

They soon arrived at the Harmonious Society Management Association Center.

To his surprise, Guo Qiyu had regained a position of authority.

Though now, Guo Qiyu held the title of Vice President.

What’s more, Guo Qiyu showed no intention of interfering in Zhang Yang’s case. When she saw Zhang Yang, she acted as if she didn’t recognize him.

Zhang Yang’s thoughts raced—could this be Guo Qiyu’s doing?

It wasn’t impossible, but if Xu Mengyan knew anything about it, she would’ve told him.

Soon Zhang Yang and Tang Tiantian were taken separately to interrogation rooms.

It was there that Zhang Yang finally learned the identity of the victim—indeed, it was Lin Fucheng. But he hadn’t expected that Lin Fucheng’s mother was still alive.

Not only that, she was now accusing them, with Liu Qingxia firmly declaring that Zhang Yang and Tang Tiantian were the murderers of her son.

Of course, Zhang Yang didn’t admit to it and instead recounting the events of the previous night truthfully.

What sank Zhang Yang’s heart was the revelation that Fourth Brother Zhao had also been arrested. However, Zhao claimed that he was merely collecting a debt. Naturally, he didn’t deny some of the methods he had used during the process. Yet, Zhao claimed that after they had left, he snuck back to check on things—and witnessed Zhang Yang committing murder.

Learning this, Zhang Yang was seething with fury—he had once again been set up by Fourth Brother Zhao.

This Fourth Brother Zhao, who had sworn to clean up his act, seemed determined to scorch the earth even if it meant harming himself.

Granted, the deeds Zhao had already confessed to would definitely have him locked away in a cell. But if the murder charges were pinned on Zhang Yang, the one who would bear the consequences would be Zhang Yang.

Looking around, Zhang Yang observed that these officers were straightforward and weren’t trying to make things harder for him, but clearing his name would be entirely up to him.

Judging by what evidence was currently available, things were highly unfavorable for Zhang Yang.

To the officers, it seemed Zhang Yang had motive to kill—the reason being his teacher.

Adding to this were the four severed fingers, which were enough to suggest murderous intent.

As for evidence, beyond Fourth Brother Zhao as the witness, they also found a dagger at the scene.

That dagger was the same one Zhang Yang had used to sever Lin Fucheng’s fingers. He had casually left it in the hotel afterward, never expecting it would later appear on Lin Fucheng—more accurately, embedded in Lin Fucheng’s heart.

At this point, Zhang Yang felt utterly cornered. Then, suddenly, he thought of Xu Caimei.

Upon hearing that Xu Caimei was also cooperating with the investigation, Zhang Yang immediately said, "I want to see Xu Guangzhi."

Not long after, Xu Guangzhi appeared before Zhang Yang, wearing a look of irritation.

The first thing he asked was, "Did you kill the person?"

"No!" Zhang Yang denied outright.

Xu Guangzhi believed Zhang Yang, "I trust you, but I’m also probably the only one who does. The Harmonious Society Management Association Center recently got a new president—a parachuted outsider with deep connections. Even Guo Qiyu is being overshadowed."

"And you just happen to find yourself caught up in the first murder case since this new president took over. So, this time, you’re in deep trouble."

Zhang Yang frowned. "If I were the killer, what’s to be done about Tang Tiantian and Xu Caimei?"

"That all depends on what you all say. They could be accomplices, people trying to stop you, or victims being coerced by you."

The nearby officers furrowed their brows at Xu Guangzhi’s remarks. Clearly, some thought he had gone too far.

Yet, due to Xu Guangzhi’s identity and the fact that he had once been their superior, none of them dared to interrupt.

Zhang Yang fixed a steely gaze on Xu Guangzhi, "Are you trying to make me confess?"

Under Zhang Yang’s piercing stare, Xu Guangzhi hesitated for a moment.

"Zhang Yang, that’s not what I meant. I just don’t want my daughter to get caught up in this mess."

Zhang Yang said nothing, but Xu Guangzhi’s attitude had already told him everything he needed to know.

"I won’t confess, and I definitely won’t let the real killer go free."

Xu Guangzhi froze. "Do you know who the killer is?"

"I have some guesses, but for now I won’t say. I want to see how many people will try to meddle this time."

After saying this, Zhang Yang no longer responded to Xu Guangzhi.

Realizing his earlier words had displeased Zhang Yang, Xu Guangzhi began to regret them. If Zhang Yang managed to clear his name, things between them likely wouldn’t be as amicable as before.

"Zhang Yang, my daughter is involved because of you. As a father, I got anxious and misspoke. But don’t take it to heart—I’ll assign people to oversee this investigation. At the very least, no one will tamper with evidence under my watch."

After finishing, Xu Guangzhi left. Zhang Yang’s gaze grew darker. The scheme had been executed flawlessly, with witnesses and physical evidence in place. Now, their only avenue of breakthrough lay with Tang Tiantian and Xu Caimei.

If either of them pointed him out as the culprit, Zhang Yang knew that anything he said after that would be futile.

In one interrogation room, Tang Tiantian kept denying, "We didn’t kill anyone..."

In another interrogation room, Xu Caimei echoed similar sentiments, "Zhang Yang didn’t kill anyone. When we left, the victim was still alive and well..."

Soon after, both were confronted with the same statement.

The evidence was irrefutable. If they continued to deny it, they’d also be charged as accomplices.

If they identified Zhang Yang as the killer, however, they’d be cleared of all charges—and might even receive compensation from the victim’s family.

Five million each.

Tang Tiantian felt deeply unsettled. It wasn’t the money that shocked her, but the realization that someone wanted Zhang Yang dead.

The victim’s family was Liu Qingxia, wasn’t it? Could Liu Qingxia afford five million? This was absurd.

Xu Caimei, more defiant, responded directly, "I demand to meet Liu Qingxia and hear from her personally whether she’s really promising five million."

Naturally, the request was denied.

The interrogation reached a stalemate. Outside, Li Lei soon learned that Zhang Yang had been arrested. At the same time, Xu Mengyan got word of it.

Li Lei went to Xu Guangzhi to inquire about the situation.

Meanwhile, Xu Mengyan called Guo Qiyu directly. Guo Qiyu found a secluded spot and said bluntly to Xu Mengyan, "Zhang Yang has offended too many people. It’s no surprise at all to see him in this position today."

"I knew it! Someone’s framing Zhang Yang," Xu Mengyan responded immediately. "Aren’t you planning to help this time?"

"I can’t help. This time the new president is personally overseeing the case. At this point, no one can intervene in Zhang Yang’s matter—unless someone can produce evidence to overturn the current proof."

Upon hearing this, Xu Mengyan abruptly hung up and dialed Jiang Meiren.

It seemed this case could only be solved by the people of the Martial World.
