Chapter 9 - Chapter 9 Zhao Dong's Confession

This news made Chen Xuewen's murderous intent even stronger.

But he didn't show it. Instead, he asked in a deep voice, "Who hurt Li Er Yong?"

Zhao Dong thought Chen Xuewen was scared and said smugly, "Hmph, he was hurt by his own boss!"

Chen Xuewen frowned, "His boss?"

He knew that Li Er Yong had been hanging around outside for a long time and was said to have a boss. Li Er Yong often talked about this boss, saying how brave and caring he was.

But why would his boss break his hands and feet?

Zhao Dong sneered, "What, don't believe me?"

"Hmph, you don't know how powerful the person behind this is."

"Li Er Yong was shouting about seeking justice for that Chen guy and came to find us as witnesses. Wasn't he asking for death?"

"With a word from the boss behind the scenes, Li Er Yong's boss immediately broke his hands and feet himself."

Zhao Dong glanced at Chen Xuewen and sneered, "Kid, think about it. Do you have enough lives to spare?"

"If you don't want to die, let me go right now."

"Otherwise, I guarantee you'll be even worse off than Li Er Yong!"

Chen Xuewen's face was cold. From Zhao Dong's words, he could tell that Zhao Dong must know some secrets.

"Who is this boss behind the scenes you're talking about?"

Chen Xuewen asked in a deep voice.

Zhao Dong was stunned at first, then his face turned cold, "Kid, don't ask me. I don't know who the boss behind the scenes is either."

"I still say the same thing. If you want to live, let me go. Otherwise..."

Before Zhao Dong could finish, Chen Xuewen didn't hesitate and stabbed him again.

Zhao Dong screamed and struggled, but the dagger was broken.

Chen Xuewen held the remaining half of the dagger and frowned.

This dagger was really no good!

He rushed forward, stepped on Zhao Dong's neck, and pointed the half-dagger at Zhao Dong's forehead, "Scream again and I'll stab it in here!"

Zhao Dong was almost scared to death. From the previous two stabs, he was sure that Chen Xuewen was really willing to act.

He quickly stopped screaming and trembled, "Brother, I... I really don't know anything!"

Chen Xuewen said coldly, "You just said the boss behind the scenes, and now you say you don't know. Do you think I'll believe you?"

Zhao Dong said in a crying tone, "I was just guessing."

"Somebody gave me 20,000 yuan to testify against that kid."

"Think about it, the other side offered 20,000 yuan at once. What a big sum! It must be a big boss."

"But... but I really don't know who it is!"

Chen Xuewen frowned, "Then who gave you the money?"

Zhao Dong stammered and didn't want to answer.

Chen Xuewen lost patience and directly stabbed the half-dagger into Zhao Dong's shoulder.

Zhao Dong screamed in pain and quickly said, "It... it was Wu Lihong. She gave me the money and asked me to be a witness..."

Chen Xuewen was stunned, "Wu Lihong!" ?"

This Wu Lihong, Chen Xuewen knows her. She's his classmate. When they were in school, Wu Lihong was no good. She dressed extremely provocatively and often hung out with some delinquents. After graduating from high school, Wu Lihong didn't continue her studies. Instead, she frequently visited bars and nightclubs. It's said that she works as a hostess in a nightclub. At the last class reunion, Wu Lihong also attended, and at that time, she went with the school beauty. Wu Lihong and the school beauty were chatting and laughing, it seemed that their relationship was quite good. As a result, the school beauty died beside Chen Xuewen, and Wu Lihong bribed witnesses behind the scenes. From this perspective, Wu Lihong should know something about the school beauty's death! Chen Xuewen: "Where is Wu Lihong now?" Zhao Dong: "Wu Lihong works as a hostess at the Marriott Entertainment City. She's probably at work right now." Chen Xuewen nodded slowly. He looked at Zhao Dong and suddenly said, "Do you want to live or die?" Zhao Dong's face turned pale: "I... I of course want to live." "Brother, I've told you everything I know. Please, give me a chance and spare me..." Chen Xuewen: "Fine!" "Then call Wu Lihong and tell her that someone is investigating your perjury. Ask her to come out and discuss a solution." "Listen carefully. If you dare to give yourself away and let Wu Lihong find out, I'll kill you right away!" Chen Xuewen said, pointing the half of the dagger at Zhao Dong's neck. Zhao Dong trembled all over and nodded hurriedly: "I... I'll call, I'll call..." He took out his small mobile phone and was about to make the call, but Chen Xuewen held his arm and said sternly, "Wait until you calm down before making the call!" At this moment, Zhao Dong's voice was shaking and his body was trembling. If he made the call now, he would definitely give himself away. After about ten minutes, Zhao Dong had calmed down a bit. Chen Xuewen then let him make the call. Not long after, Wu Lihong answered the phone. Zhao Dong followed Chen Xuewen's instructions and said, "Sister Red, something's happened. Someone is investigating me about the Chen Xuewen case and suspects me of perjury. What should I do?" "Where are you? Let's meet and discuss it." There was a moment of silence on the other end. Wu Lihong said in a low voice, "Meet at the usual place tomorrow at noon." Zhao Dong hurriedly said, "Can't it be tonight?" "I... I'm really a bit scared!" Wu Lihong said angrily, "Damn it! I'm with Tiger Brother's friends tonight. I don't have time to go over there!" "Don't be scared. I got the news that Chen Xuewen was killed during his escape from prison two days ago. Even if someone investigates this matter, what's there to be afraid of since the person is dead?" "Just stick to your original story. Don't worry. The boss behind me can help you solve this matter!" Wu Lihong hung up the phone after saying that. Zhao Dong looked at Chen Xuewen: "Brother, you heard it. She... she doesn't want to come out tonight." Chen Xuewen frowned. He originally wanted to solve everything tonight. Now that Wu Lihong won't come out, this matter can't be investigated further and can only wait until tomorrow. However, in the current situation, every extra day of waiting brings more danger! Chen Xuewen thought for a moment and finally took a deep breath: "Then let's meet tomorrow." "By the way, where is the usual place?" "How do you usually meet?" Chen Xuewen asked carefully. Zhao Dong obediently told him all the details. Chen Xuewen wrote down everything and then took out the rope he had prepared in advance, tying Zhao Dong up tightly. Then, he wrapped several layers of transparent tape around the rope to prevent Zhao Dong from escaping. After finishing all this, Chen Xuewen dragged Zhao Dong to the entrance of an abandoned cellar. This should have been a sweet potato cellar for the residents who used to live here, but since no one lived nearby anymore, it had been abandoned. Weeds blocked the entrance to the sweet potato cellar. There was also a stone slab covering it to prevent people from accidentally falling in. Chen Xuewen looked at Zhao Dong and said, "Before I handle everything, you have to stay in this cellar." "Let me be clear. If something happens to me and I can't come back to save you, you'll starve to death in this cellar." "So, I'm giving you one more chance. Think carefully and tell me if there's anything you haven't told me clearly." "We're like grasshoppers tied to the same string. If you dare to harm me, when I'm in trouble, you won't be able to live either!" Zhao Dong's face turned deathly pale. He stammered, "I... I'll say, I'll say." He quickly added some details about his meeting with Wu Lihong. Chen Xuewen's face was cold. As expected, Zhao Dong was still hiding something. Fortunately, Chen Xuewen tricked him again at the end. Otherwise, Chen Xuewen might not have been able to see Wu Lihong tomorrow! After Zhao Dong had completely confessed, Chen Xuewen taped his mouth shut, threw him into the sweet potato cellar, covered it with the stone slab, and sealed him down there completely! After doing all this, Chen Xuewen turned around and walked alone in the vast night, heading back to Pingcheng!
