“Who?”
Ye Chen stood up.
This matter was extremely important to Ye Chen.
Lei Shuwei took out his phone and fiddled with it for a while until a photo appeared on the screen.
He handed Ye Cheng the phone and said seriously, “Mr. Ye, this person is called Zhong Weishan. Five years ago, he was in charge of the matter back then.” “Where is Zhong Weishan now?” Ye Chen asked.
Hearing this, Lei Shuwei hesitated.
After a long time, he finally said, “Speaking about this matter, 1 have to tell you that Zhong Weishan’s life is also tragic. Three years ago, on his son’s wedding day, which was supposed to be a joyous occasion, his daughter-in-law was a.s.saulted and defiled. Because of that, his daughter-in-law committed suicide by jumping into the river.”
“In a fit of anger, his son went to the Tang family’s residence to seek revenge, but before he could find the culprit, he fell off a building under mysterious circ.u.mstances.”
“Thus, Zhong Weishan suffered a double blow, and soon lost his cool. He used his own methods to take revenge and paid a painful price. Fie was crippled and even locked up.”
“The Tang family you’re talking about is related to Tang Ao, right?” Ye Chen narrowed his eyes.
Lei Shuwei nodded. “Tang Ao is the head of the Tang family. Given how powerful he is, Zhong Weishan stood no chance.”
“Sigh, Zhong Weishan actually had no blemishes in his career, but no one expected that everything would be ruined when he was about to retire.”
Ye Chen’s eyes flashed with a hint of coldness.
He did not expect such a thing to happen in Jiangnan Province.
No matter what, Zhong Weishan was still a father. His son and daughter-in-law were killed by the Tang family. His originally happy life was destroyed. This blow was too great!
Ye Chen slammed his palm on the table and asked angrily, “Are you all not going to do anything about this?”
Lei Shuwei sighed.
“There are too many cases like Zhong Weishan’s.”
“Tang Ao’s son, Tang Yuanxuan, defiled a virgin girl and erased all of the evidence, so what could be done?”
“I want to punish Tang Ao’s son, but three years have pa.s.sed, and there is no evidence or witness. All we have is Zhong Weishan’s word, so we can’t arrest him.”
“I want to see Zhong Weishan,” Ye Chen said after a few moments of contemplation.
Lei Shuwei knew that Ye Chen would make this request. He nodded but still reminded him, “Zhong Weishan has changed a lot these years. He is very bitter and might not give you an answer.”
“Alright.”
Half an hour later, Lei Shuwei arranged for a meeting between the two.
Not long after, Zhong Weishan, whose hands and feet were cuffed, was ushered into the room.
The door closed and all the monitoring equipment was turned off.
This was a privilege that only Ye Chen enjoyed.
The dim light made the room seem a little quiet.
Zhong Weishan’s murky and cold eyes stared at Ye Chen like a ferocious beast that seemed like it wanted to devour Ye Chen.
Ye Chen took out a pack of cigarettes and waved it in front of Zhong Weishan.
“Do you smoke?”
Zhong Weishan ignored him and slammed his palms onto the table with the handcuffs, making a loud noise.
Ye Chen stuffed the cigarette into his pocket and took out a photo. Fie placed it in front of Zhong Weishan and asked, “Do you recognize the two people in the photo?”
Zhong Weishan glanced at the photo and roared, “Get lost!”
“I don’t care who you are! Just stay away from me!”
Ye Chen continued calmly despite this, “The two people in the photo are my parents. They died five years ago at Cloud Lake Manor.”
Zhong Weishan’s eyes were bloodshot. He did not say anything, but he stared at the two people in the photo.
Ye Chen continued, “My experience is similar to yours. 1 saw my parents die in front of me with my own eyes. I was too weak back then. I was so weak that 1 didn’t even have the power to resist. In that sense, I know how you feel.”
Zhong Weishan’s expression changed.
Ye Chen did not stop.
“I’ve been gone for five years. In these five years, I’ve suffered torture to the point that I’d rather die than live. The only reason I managed to stay alive is to take revenge.”
“Today, 1 suddenly realized that the matter at Cloud Lake Manor was not as simple as 1 first thought it to be. You are the only clue, so I came to find you.”
After a long time, Zhong Weishan finally spoke, “You can leave. I don’t know anything.”
Ye Chen lit a cigarette and took a puff. His eyes were cold as he suddenly said, “There are many unfair things in this world that are out of our control, but there are some things that are in our control.”
“I know what happened to you, and I know who ruined everything for you.”
Hearing Ye Chen’s words, Zhong Weishan stood up abruptly and roared, “Get the f*ck out! 1 don’t want to see you!”
Ye Chen’s lips curled into a cold smile. He put out the cigarette in his hand and stood up.
He walked over to a mirror and placed his hands behind his back.
Ye Chen’s reflection in the mirror looked rather ferocious and bloodthirsty.
A few seconds later, a cold voice echoed in the sealed room.
“Let’s make a deal.”
“I’ll bring you the head of the culprit, and you tell me everything about what happened at Cloud Lake Manor..”
