Chapter 93

Update Time: April 9, 2013

"WHAT? Duan Fei is dead? When did this happen?" Zhang Yang sat up abruptly, all traces of drowsiness gone.

Hong Yaqin said, "The news just came in. He's been dead for less than an hour."

"Do you know how he died?" Zhang Yang asked.

Hong Yaqin shook her head and said, "They say it was suicide out of fear of punishment. Tongtong asked me to tell you that no matter what information you got from Duan Fei, you shouldn't say anything. Even if you want to, it's not the right time. Duan Fei's situation wasn't serious at first, but some of his initial statements caught the attention of certain people. His death will definitely lead to investigations. If they notice you, you'll be in danger."

Zhang Yang nodded and said, "Thank you, Yaqin! And thank Miss Ji for me as well."

"You don't need to be so formal with me, Zhang Yang. As for Tongtong, don't worry. Although she's carefree, she'll be careful about this. Are you okay, though?"

Zhang Yang knew that Hong Yaqin, due to the incorrect information he had given her earlier, mistakenly thought he and Duan Fei were close friends and was worried he would be sad. In reality, Zhang Yang was so excited that he wanted to laugh out loud, but he couldn't show it in front of Hong Yaqin.

"Yaqin, don't worry about me. I was mentally prepared for this yesterday. Visiting him was just to show my respect and to free my soul. If I didn't go, I wouldn't be able to live with myself," Zhang Yang said.

"That's good. I was really afraid you wouldn't be able to accept it. Get some rest," Hong Yaqin said.

After hanging up the phone, Zhang Yang was in a daze for a moment, then he burst into excited laughter.

Duan Fei didn't die by his hand, which was a bit of a regret, but since he orchestrated the whole thing, Zhang Yang still felt the satisfaction of revenge. It was a pity he couldn't reveal his identity to Duan Fei.

What Zhang Yang really wanted to do was stand in front of Duan Fei and tell him who he was, that he was the one who started everything from the casino to the jade gambling. That would make Duan Fei die with even more regret and bitterness, and he would savor the joy of it.

But this way was good too. He had personally destroyed Xiao Fei's right-hand man.

Xiao Fei, don't be in a hurry. I'll make you slowly become a lonely and destitute man.

Moreover, with Duan Fei dead, there was no one to verify the evidence he had obtained from Duan Fei about Xiao Fei and Wang Yunlai. He was still safe and could continue to secretly undermine them.

Right, he hadn't even looked at the USB drives yet.

Thinking of this, Zhang Yang emptied his backpack onto the bed, grabbed the two USB drives and the CD, and placed them on the computer desk. He eagerly turned on the computer, eager to see what was hidden inside.

The CD was inserted into the drive, and soon a woman's figure appeared on the screen. She looked to be about eighteen or nineteen years old, with a slender figure and wearing a red lace nightgown. She had a classic oval face and large eyes, and was adjusting the camera.

Zhang Yang was gradually drawn in. Most pornographic videos were scripted and staged, giving a sense of artificiality. This CD, however, was a real recording of events. Why did so many people watch live sports broadcasts? Because they were real. This sense of reality was something increasingly rare in today's society and was becoming more and more popular.

At this moment, the woman spoke to the camera, "Honey, ha ha, didn't expect that, did you? This is a secret recording I made to capture our happiest moments. You are the only man I love in this life, and I will definitely give you a baby."

Zhang Yang looked at Chen Qian's radiant smile and felt a faint sadness. The record of the past was still there, but the person was gone, and things were no longer the same.

A few minutes later, a man entered the bedroom.

Zhang Yang immediately recognized him as Wang Yunlai, the Executive Vice Mayor of Jin City. He often saw news about him on TV and the computer. In the positive propaganda, he was portrayed as a selfless and upright official. He worked late every night until ten o'clock, and whenever there was a situation, he was always there. During flood control and rescue operations, he was always on the front lines. In the eyes of the eight million residents of Jin City, he was a rare and excellent official.

The next scene in the computer video was quite exciting. Wang Yunlai took off his clothes, and he didn't look like a middle-aged man in his fifties at all. Unlike other officials who had fat bellies, Wang Yunlai had a strong and fit body.

Zhang Yang had forgotten his original intention of looking for evidence of Wang Yunlai's illegal activities. He was completely absorbed in the content of the video.

He was so engrossed that he didn't notice the bedroom door being pushed open.

Pan Hui, hearing strange sounds from the room, knew Zhang Yang was awake and wanted to ask him what he wanted for dinner. She didn't expect to see such a scene when she opened the door: money, jewelry, and IDs scattered on the bed. Zhang Yang was hunched over the computer, watching a pornographic video intently.

The sounds of a woman moaning and a man panting could be heard.

She was stunned, her mind blank.

What's going on? Why is there so much money and jewelry? There are several IDs here, and on the bed are wigs, masks, and sunglasses. A terrifying image formed in Pan Hui's mind.

After it got dark and quiet, Zhang Yang would put on a wig, a mask, and sunglasses, and carry a sharp knife. He would kill people at the alley entrance, put the bodies in his car, and drive them to the forest to bury them. Then he would break into people's homes, kill the owners, and rob them. After that, he would see a beautiful woman, and with the knife, he would rape and kill her.

Thinking of these terrifying scenes, Pan Hui felt her legs go weak. No wonder he didn't work and had so much money! He went out every day, walking all day, to scout locations. At night, he committed crimes, which is why he couldn't sleep and used alcohol to numb himself.

It must be said that women's imagination is very rich. They can imagine their husbands being unfaithful from the smallest details. Pan Hui was like this now. In her mind, Zhang Yang was already a tyrant, a man without feelings, with a sharp and harsh tongue. She would exaggerate even the smallest things, and the items in front of her gave her ample room for imagination.

In her eyes, Zhang Yang was now a demon who killed, robbed, and raped.

Pan Hui took a step back, feeling too weak to even turn around. As she backed up, her foot accidentally hit the door, making a creaking sound, which startled Zhang Yang, who was absorbed in the video.

Zhang Yang reflexively turned around. His eyes, red from watching the video, glowed with an unusual light.

Pan Hui screamed and fell to the ground in fright.

Zhang Yang frowned and scolded, "Who told you to come in!"

Pan Hui's reaction was beyond Zhang Yang's expectations. She scrambled to the door, shouting, "Don't kill me, don't kill me, I know nothing!"

Zhang Yang was bewildered by Pan Hui's behavior, not knowing what was wrong with the maid!

He soon realized something was wrong when Pan Hui tried to open the security door, clearly intending to run outside.

Glancing at the money and jewelry on the bed, Zhang Yang cursed under his breath.

These things on the bed were hard to explain. If the neighbors were really alarmed and called the police, he would be in big trouble. If things weren't clear, his visit to Duan Fei would be exposed, and his life could be in danger.

With this in mind, Zhang Yang jumped up from the chair. Just as Pan Hui opened the door, he yanked her back inside, pushed her to the ground, and locked the security door. He then glared at Pan Hui in anger.

At this moment, Pan Hui was in a panic. Zhang Yang's angry expression looked like a death threat to her.

She panicked, her vision went black, and she fainted on the spot.
