Chapter 78

Just as he finished speaking, the door to the interrogation room was opened, and a boy was brought in. Zhan Yi turned his head and saw that it was the same person who had been with Zhao Guang at school yesterday. The guy also looked at Zhan Yi, his expression full of disdain.

"Classmate, can you tell us now, did you see Zhan Yi fighting with others and killing an innocent citizen last night?" Chief Liu had someone bring a chair for the boy to sit on, then asked calmly.

"Yes, it was him yesterday. I saw it very clearly. He was fighting with several people. When someone tried to mediate, he punched the mediator without any reason, and the person fell to the ground and died." The boy said with certainty, as if he had really seen it.

"Zhan Yi, do you have anything to say?" Chief Liu asked Zhan Yi, looking very pleased, as if he had just taken some aphrodisiac.

"Of course, I have something to say. I would like to ask this classmate, if I was fighting with several people, how could I have the time to hit the mediator? And why weren't the people I was fighting with injured? Did they wait for me to kill someone before fighting me? That doesn't make sense, does it?" Zhan Yi smiled disdainfully and turned to look at the boy.

"Well... you had already knocked those people down at that time." The boy was at a loss for words and said勉强地.

"Oh, if I had already knocked them down, why would anyone need to mediate? It doesn't make sense for the mediator to step in after I had already knocked them down." Zhan Yi continued, puzzled.

"You... you were clearly out of control and hit anyone who came near." The boy, unable to think of a better response, decided to stick to his story.

"Ha... so where were you when you saw this? Why didn't I hit you? And please, don't make me sound invincible. One person fighting several and knocking them all down without killing any, but then killing a mediator? Your story has too many holes. I think you're the one who's out of control, not me." Zhan Yi laughed, seeing the boy's anxious expression.

"You... you did kill the mediator." The boy, surprised by Zhan Yi's composure, quickly glanced at Chief Liu.

"Threatening a witness? Haha, Chief, I think you might be mistaken. I just want to ask this classmate why he insists that the person I killed was a mediator. Did the person tell him after he died? How did he know the person was dead, and why didn't he report it at the time? Can you explain this to me now?" Zhan Yi stared intently at the boy.

"I... I just saw you kill someone." The boy couldn't think of a better reason. Although he was sent by Zhao Guang to testify, he was just a student.

"Haha... can't think of anything to say, can you? You're clearly lying. Chief, what do you think should be done with someone who gives false testimony to frame others? Should we wait for the bureau chief to deal with him?" Zhan Yi said with a cold laugh.

"Chief Liu, you can't punish me. I am..." The boy's mental defenses finally broke down, and Zhan Yi's confident expression made him worry about the consequences.

"Shut up! Someone, take Zhan Yi away. We'll determine his guilt after we gather more evidence." Chief Liu, seeing the boy about to ruin everything, quickly ordered the police to take Zhan Yi away.

As Zhan Yi was leaving the interrogation room, he turned and gave a wicked smile to Chief Liu and the boy. "Gentlemen, you won't get away with taking money from the Zhao family to frame me. This will soon shake the entire N City. Think about how you'll deal with it. I can tell you, no one can protect you, hehe..."

"You... take him away, lock him up in the detention center, and watch him closely. Don't let him escape." Chief Liu and the boy were both shaken by Zhan Yi's words, and Chief Liu finally couldn't hold back his anger.

Zhan Yi was quickly taken to the detention center, and all his belongings were confiscated. When he entered his cell, he found that the other inmates seemed to be waiting for him, and their smug expressions suggested that Zhan Yi had brought them some good news.

Zhan Yi wasn't concerned. He had expected the Zhao family to arrange for someone to deal with him in prison. These ordinary criminals posed no real threat to him. What he needed to consider was how to handle the situation next. Through this incident, he had clearly felt the Zhao family's cunning. He knew that even if he was released, they wouldn't let it go.

To live a normal life, he needed to find a powerful backer to control the Zhao family, or cultivate his own forces. Relying on himself and his three subordinates wouldn't be enough. No matter how strong they were, they couldn't kill everyone in the Zhao family. He also suspected that the Zhao family had a more formidable backer behind them, given their influence in N City.

The police who brought Zhan Yi in soon left, and the other inmates stood up and slowly approached him. One of them, a large and muscular man, said to Zhan Yi, "Kid, you didn't even greet us, the bosses here. Do you know the rules?"

Zhan Yi, who had been deep in thought, looked up and put on an excited face. "Bosses? Are you the legendary gangsters? Great, I've finally found my organization."

"What organization?" The men were taken aback by Zhan Yi's enthusiasm.

"Bosses, you see, I just started a gang outside, and I'm the boss too." Zhan Yi quickly explained.

"What? You're a boss too? What's your gang called, and how many members do you have?" The men's expressions softened. They had been sent to deal with Zhan Yi, but hearing that he was also a gang boss made them hesitate.

"My gang doesn't have a name yet, but we already have four members." Zhan Yi answered quickly, his expression full of confidence.

"Ha... kid, you're really joking. A gang with four members and no name, and you call yourself a boss? We thought you were something big when you said you found your organization." The men burst out laughing.

"Please don't misunderstand. When I said I found my organization, I meant that our gang's goal is to sweep all the gangs out of N City and become the true number one. So I have to deal with any gangsters I meet, either by making them submit or by taking them out." Zhan Yi waved his hands and explained.
