Chapter 763: Chapter 763

It’s uncanny, truly uncanny.

Guo Qiyu looked at Xu Guangzhi with a solemn expression and said, "Even if it’s not Xu Yang, according to protocol, we still need to summon him for questioning."

Xu Guangzhi nodded, not too bothered. Even Liu Qingxia didn’t recognize the person as Xu Yang, so it definitely wasn’t related to him.

But why does he resemble Xu Yang so much?

Xu Guangzhi had a faint sense of foreboding, and at just that moment, both Guo Qiyu’s and Xu Guangzhi’s phones rang simultaneously.

Faced with such a coincidence, the two instinctively exchanged looks, then walked aside separately.

Xu Guangzhi answered the phone, "Dad, what’s wrong?"

Mr. Xu spoke in a heavy tone over the phone, "Son, stay out of Zhang Yang’s case."

"Why?" Xu Guangzhi’s brow immediately furrowed.

"Don’t ask. This time, you absolutely have to listen to me. Otherwise, our family is finished."

Xu Guangzhi’s expression changed; this was the first time he’d heard the old man say something like this.

Meanwhile, on the other side, Guo Qiyu’s expression was equally grave. His call was international.

It was also his father, the Patriarch Guo, sternly admonishing, "Don’t get involved in this case."

Upon hearing this, Guo Qiyu suddenly had a thought, "Was this done by the Xu family?"

When Guo Qiyu mentioned the Xu family, he wasn’t referring to Mr. Xu’s immediate family but the Xu family stationed overseas—the same Xu family as his wife Xu Mengyan’s maternal family.

"Yes, but you should find a way to establish a good relationship with Zhang Yang. Zhang Yang’s connections have now become highly significant. Many powers are paying attention to him, though the exact reason is still under investigation by the family."

"I’ve heard he and Mengyan have a good relationship. Think of a way to let Miss Xu get some intel from him."

Guo Qiyu was speechless at the contradictory instructions, "Dad, if we don’t get involved in the case, how can we build rapport with Zhang Yang?"

"You don’t need to worry about that. Someone else will take the fall for this case. Just ensure Zhang Yang never finds out that this is connected to the Xu family. If he does, even Miss Xu won’t be able to resolve the situation."

Guo Qiyu listened with a serious expression. He hadn’t expected Zhang Yang to command this much attention from both the Guo and Xu families.

Apparently, the Xu family originally planned to frame Zhang Yang to force him under their control. But now that their plans had backfired, they were left with no choice but to adopt a softer approach.

Add to that the assassin who bore an uncanny resemblance to Xu Yang, and Guo Qiyu quickly pieced together the situation.

After hanging up the phone, Guo Qiyu glanced over at Xu Guangzhi.

Judging from Xu Guangzhi’s expression, Guo Qiyu could tell he had been warned as well.

"Brother Xu, it seems I don’t need to say much more."

Xu Guangzhi frowned. He could sense that Guo Qiyu knew more than he did, which left him somewhat irritated. But seeing that Guo Qiyu didn’t plan to explain further, he asked, "What’s the next step then?"

"We wait. The results should come soon enough," Guo Qiyu replied.

Xu Guangzhi’s face clouded over. This was too strange—who was meddling in this?

A threat to his family’s old master was one thing, but to sway Guo Qiyu as well? The murderer’s background must be extraordinarily powerful.

As Xu Guangzhi ruminated, someone came to report that someone had shown up to confess.

Guo Qiyu smirked faintly. It seemed their actions were swift.

Xu Guangzhi was astonished. After all, he hadn’t been informed about anyone stepping up to take the blame.

Soon, the two of them saw the person who confessed, causing Xu Guangzhi to furrow his brow. The individual bore no resemblance to Xu Yang and completely failed to match Liu Qingxia’s description.

Guo Qiyu said to Xu Guangzhi, "Leave it to me. The procedure will be flawless."

Xu Guangzhi let out a bitter laugh. Although, for now, he held seniority over Guo Qiyu, when it came to connections and tactics, Guo Qiyu was clearly superior.

"Fine, I’ll just observe from the sidelines."

The following process became simple—the "murderer" detailed the killing of Lin Fucheng.

As for the murderer’s identity, it was not overly complicated: he claimed to be Fourth Brother Zhao’s sibling.

The reason for killing Lin Fucheng was that he couldn’t repay his debts, so they decided to rough him up as a warning, accidentally killing him in the process.

Afterward, they colluded with Fourth Brother Zhao to frame Zhang Yang and threatened Liu Qingxia to incriminate him, even handing Liu Qingxia a large sum of money.

As for why Liu Qingxia misidentified the face, the murderer’s explanation was straightforward: it was dark at the time, so it was normal for her to make a mistake.

Later, Guo Qiyu called Liu Qingxia over. Initially, Liu Qingxia shook her head and said he wasn’t the one.

But when the "murderer" recounted all their conversations with Liu Qingxia, she immediately changed her tune, "Yes, yes, it was him. He indeed told me those things. Maybe I really got it wrong."

Xu Guangzhi felt speechless. It was clear Liu Qingxia had been scared witless and was mentally unstable.

Similarly, Fourth Brother Zhao had also changed his testimony, admitting his guilt.

With that, the case no longer held any suspense.

Interestingly, at this moment Gao Jie was still completely in the dark, relentlessly yelling at Zhang Yang.

"Zhang Yang, at this point, what’s left for you to deny?"

"Confession leads to leniency; resistance leads to severity. Admit your guilt, and you might still receive a reduced sentence."

Gao Jie was desperate. He was being watched himself and could no longer use underhanded tactics against Zhang Yang. All he could do was stall Zhang Yang and try to pressure him.

But such petty tricks had long since been seen through by Zhang Yang.

Zhang Yang simply sat there, relaxed and composed, watching Gao Jie shout and go red-faced with frustration.

This mocking attitude sent Gao Jie’s blood pressure soaring, making him even angrier.

As a Chairman of the Harmonious Society Management Association, he’d personally come to interrogate Zhang Yang, only to be so blatantly disrespected.

With so many people watching, how could he save face?

"Zhang Yang, even if you refuse to confess, the existing evidence is enough to convict you. I’m giving you one last chance—don’t spit on my goodwill!"

Zhang Yang’s lips curled in a smirk, "I’m spitting on it. Go ahead and convict me."

Gao Jie’s gaze darkened, "Fine, fine, fine, don’t regret this."

Just then, Guo Qiyu and Xu Guangzhi pushed the door open and entered.

Gao Jie turned around and glared at them, "This isn’t your business. Leave."

Xu Guangzhi chuckled and issued an order, "Cuff Chairman Gao with silver bracelets."

Immediately, several men stepped forward and surrounded Gao Jie. "How dare you! What are you trying to do? I’m the Chairman of the Harmonious Society Management Association."

"Unfortunately, not anymore. You accepted bribes and abused Zhang Yang with unlawful interrogation. You’ll need to come with me for an investigation."

"Nonsense! Let me go! I was just interrogating a murderer!" Gao Jie roared furiously.

"Sorry to disappoint, Zhang Yang is innocent. The real murderer has confessed."

"What did you say?" Gao Jie couldn’t believe what he was hearing.

"Impossible! You’re lying!"
