Chapter 90

Update time: 2013-04-08

Duan Fei, seeing a glimmer of hope, looked at Zhang Yang excitedly and said, "I don't know who your boss is?"

"I can't tell you who my boss is, but I can tell you that he has a grudge against Wang Yunlai. Do you understand?" Zhang Yang didn't say more, a hint was enough; saying too much could lead to problems.

The reason he mentioned Wang Yunlai instead of Xiao Fei was to give Duan Fei the impression that this mysterious boss was involved for political reasons, not for personal gain. This would make Duan Fei more likely to believe him.

Duan Fei fell into deep thought. He didn't doubt that Zhang Yang was deceiving him; no one would take such a risk to see him unless there was a greater benefit. He was considering how he could secure the greatest benefit for himself.

Zhang Yang, seeing Duan Fei's thoughts, said, "Don't expect to negotiate terms. If your evidence is useful, the boss will spare your life to testify against them. If it's not, you're on your own."

Duan Fei's newly ignited hope was immediately extinguished by Zhang Yang's words.

"Why should I believe you? Now that I think about it, my decision to cut the stone was influenced by you. Was all of this planned by you?" Duan Fei said.

Zhang Yang replied with a cold laugh, "That's right, I did it on purpose. I wanted you to die. I, Zhang Yang, have never been so humiliated, being locked up in a detention center for half a month. Do you know what kind of days I had? I wished you dead every day."

The hatred in Zhang Yang's words made Duan Fei shudder.

"I thought you were dead for sure this time, but unexpectedly, your words reached the boss's ears, and he is willing to give you a chance. It's better if you don't agree; I hope you die," Zhang Yang said.

Zhang Yang openly expressed his hatred, which made Duan Fei believe that Zhang Yang was forced to come to him. Thinking about it, he knew that if he didn't seize this opportunity, he would have no chance left. Missing this opportunity meant certain death. Moreover, as Zhang Yang said, his boss needed him as a witness to deal with Wang Yunlai.

As long as he could survive, nothing else mattered. Since Xiao Fei was heartless, he couldn't blame him for being unrighteous. If Xiao Fei wanted him dead, then Xiao Fei should die first.

"Alright, I agree," Duan Fei said.

Zhang Yang was extremely excited; he had finally succeeded in his deception.

"Tell me, what evidence do you have, and where is it?" Zhang Yang said.

Duan Fei, having nothing to lose, said, "I have evidence that Xiao Fei, to develop the land, forcibly occupied it and instructed people to threaten the residents."

"Is that all?" Zhang Yang frowned; almost every developer did that.

"Of course not. When threats failed, he sent bulldozers at night to demolish the houses. There were people inside who couldn't escape," Duan Fei said.

Zhang Yang perked up, "Is there more?"

"There are many similar pieces of evidence. For example, a pair of brothers refused to move for money. Xiao Fei personally went to cut their tendons. They are still appealing, but it was dark, and they couldn't identify Xiao Fei, nor do they have evidence to prove it was him," Duan Fei said.

Zhang Yang remained silent, looking at Duan Fei calmly.

Duan Fei gritted his teeth, "I also have evidence of Xiao Fei running a casino, an entertainment venue, keeping prostitutes, and selling drugs. I helped him manage these businesses, and I did many of them personally. I have evidence of all this. As the business grew, I was afraid he would silence me, so I recorded everything. There's also evidence of Xiao Fei raping students in a nightclub. He always said he liked raping women and even kept several mistresses to hide his preferences."

Zhang Yang nodded in satisfaction; it was getting interesting.

"Not enough, these are all about Xiao Fei. What about Wang Yunlai?" Zhang Yang said.

Duan Fei hesitated for a moment but, considering his current situation, he had no choice but to continue, "I didn't interact much with Wang Yunlai, but once I handled a woman for Xiao Fei. She said she was Wang Yunlai's mistress and was pregnant with his child."

"People are dead, what's the point of saying this?" Zhang Yang said coldly, though he was actually furious. One life lost, two lives gone; this man was a scumbag, and he still felt some pity.

"I know it's useless. After she died, I sank her body in the sea, and no one could find her. But before she died, she said she had evidence against Wang Yunlai. I secretly searched her home and found a USB drive with intimate scenes of Wang Yunlai and her, as well as records of the gifts she received on his behalf. I told no one; with this, I could bring down Wang Yunlai," Duan Fei said.

Zhang Yang asked nervously, "Where is the evidence?"

Duan Fei said, "I've put all this in a safe place."

Zhang Yang laughed coldly, "Are you going to say that you need to go yourself to get the evidence? Duan Fei, don't dream. Without the evidence, I won't let you go, and your evidence might not even be useful. Without witnesses, you know, your evidence has no witnesses."

Duan Fei said, "I am the witness. Everything I said is true."

"Then you can die with your evidence," Zhang Yang stood up, making a move to leave.

"No, I'll tell you, I'll tell you!" Duan Fei pleaded.

This was his last hope. If Zhang Yang left, he might die in the detention center in a few days.

"Tell me!" Zhang Yang said.

Duan Fei, dejected, said, "The evidence against Xiao Fei is in my house in Jin City."

Zhang Yang frowned, "In your house? Xiao Fei will send people to look for it."

Duan Fei shook his head, "This house was bought secretly, without a transfer. I didn't tell anyone, not even my girlfriend."

"Where is the exact address?" Zhang Yang pressed.

"In the Dajing Road area of Nankai District, there's a power supply community that's about to be demolished. I bought it secretly for a future home. Unit 3, second floor, apartment 1. The key is under the mailbox by the door," Duan Fei said.

"What about the evidence against Wang Yunlai? Where is the USB drive and the recordings?" Zhang Yang demanded.

"You can verify the evidence against Xiao Fei. For the evidence against Wang Yunlai, you have to let me go. Otherwise, I won't tell you. You said your boss wants evidence to deal with them. I've given you half, which shows my sincerity. Now it's your turn to show sincerity," Duan Fei said.

After saying this, Duan Fei's expression became calm, and a hint of satisfaction flashed in his eyes. He thought that Zhang Yang's boss was mainly targeting Wang Yunlai, and Xiao Fei was just a side issue. By providing evidence against Xiao Fei, he was showing his value, which would ensure his survival. What if he handed over all the evidence and the other side reneged?

Zhang Yang, angry, said, "Fine, Duan Fei, you're still playing games. Aren't you afraid of dying?"

"Big deal, we both lose. I've thought it through. Not only do I want to live, but you also need me to deal with them. We need each other," Duan Fei said smugly.

Zhang Yang, pointing at Duan Fei, said, "You wait. I hope your evidence is real, or you'll die."

Turning around, Zhang Yang's lips curled into a smile. This had exceeded his expectations. As for the lack of evidence against Wang Yunlai, he didn't push it. It was impossible to get everything he wanted. He had come to humiliate Duan Fei, and this had already exceeded his expectations.

Ha, Duan Fei, you think you have a way out, but you're wrong. You're still on a dead path. Dying with hope is more painful than dying with despair. Unfortunately, I can't see the day you die. But don't worry, someone will join you eventually.

Zhang Yang looked at Duan Fei, who was immersed in hope, and laughed coldly. He then walked out without a backward glance. Seeing Ji Yutong, he nodded but said nothing, remembering her instructions not to speak recklessly. Since there were others present, it was better to remain silent.

Seeing Zhang Yang come out, Ji Yutong said to the nearby police officer, "The rest is up to you. Let's go."

The short, fat police officer hurriedly said, "I'll see you off!"

"No need, go about your business. Let's go," Ji Yutong said to Zhang Yang.

Zhang Yang followed Ji Yutong silently, and as they walked out of the detention center, they hardly saw any other police officers.
