Chapter 334
Kong Chenghui lowered his gaze, saying coldly, “An Mingqi, with things having reached this point, do you still refuse to admit it? It doesn’t matter if you don’t confess. The police will investigate you, and you won’t be able to escape.”
An Mingqi suddenly stood up, pointing at him and roaring angrily, “I am not guilty. You killed them. Aside from your word, what evidence do you have to prove I commanded you to do it!”
“I always knew you’d put the blame on me one day,” Kong Chenghui said with a smug laugh.
“That’s why when I left, I recorded our entire conversation. The tape is in Mr. Tang’s hands, you can ask him to play it so you can listen.”
Tang Yuchen signaled a bodyguard with a glance, and the bodyguard took out a prepared old-fashioned tape recorder and inserted the tape.
The tape whirred to life, containing the muffled voices of two men in conversation.
“Vice President An, I don’t want shares anymore, just give me some money. I’ll leave this place and decide never to come back.”
“Chenghui, you’re too timid. I trust in your skills. Rest assured, the police won’t trace it back to you.”
“…I feel guilty. I’ve caused the death of Mr. An and his wife, and I have nightmares every single night. No, I must leave this place.”
“Fine, I’ll give you some money to leave. But you must promise, this matter must not be revealed even in death.”
“Alright, I promise you! But you also have to promise me to treat Mr. An’s young children kindly. We’ve done wrong and can’t make amends, we can only compensate through them.”
“You can rest assured about that, they are after all my nephew and nieces. I won’t let them down. Actually, I didn’t want to harm my brother and his wife, but who told my brother he insisted on selling the An family business? It’s my life’s work; he could leave if he wanted, but selling it off? That was never going to happen!”
…
An Ruo listened to all this in shock. Her hands quietly gripped the armrests of her wheelchair, and with strength from who knows where, she abruptly stood up, grabbed the ashtray on the table, and smashed it hard onto An Mingqi’s forehead.
Then her body fell, and the man by her side caught her in time, preventing her from tumbling to the ground.
Caught off guard, An Mingqi’s head was split open by her blow, his wound immediately gushing with copious amounts of blood.
An Ruo pointed at him and screamed in fury, “You murderer, I curse you to a terrible death! An Mingqi, you demon, go die, just die!”
Tang Yuchen lifted her in his arms, frowning slightly.
Her standing up like that might have made the fractures in her legs even worse.
An Ruo struggled emotionally, wanting to get down, wanting to kill him with her own hands!
The man tightened his hold on her and growled at the police officers, “What are you waiting for, take him to the station!”
The police officers quickly stepped forward. An Mingqi raised his hand to stop them, speaking with surprising calm, “I will go with you, but before I do, please allow me to change my clothes and wash my face.”
“Be quick about it!” one of the police officers barked, as there was no need to be polite with a criminal like him.
An Mingqi didn’t act immediately; instead, he slowly turned to An Ruo and asked with a faint smile, “Ruoruo, do you know what I regret most in my life?”
An Ruo’s eyes were bloodshot, glaring at him, her gaze ablaze with intense hatred.
He laughed again, “What I regret the most isn’t killing your parents, but… it’s that I should not have married you off to Tang Yuchen.”
Yes, if he had not married her to Tang Yuchen, none of this would have happened afterward.
