Lin Feng saw the hesitation on Yellow Hair’s face.
He added fuel to the fire. "If I were the person behind you, I’d make sure that once you’re inside, you could never open your mouth again. After all, that’s the only way for him to be truly safe."
"Confess, and you’re just an accomplice. Refuse, and you’re the mastermind."
In the pitch-black environment, Yellow Hair’s mental state was already fragile.
And because his nerves were constantly on edge,
his expression had unconsciously twisted into a grimace.
Bathed in the beam of the flashlight, Lin Feng took in his state completely.
Every word was designed to stoke the panic in Yellow Hair’s heart.
’Punks like him have no sense of honor or integrity.’
’I can only say that the person hiding in the shadows who wants to harm me doesn’t have very good judgment.’
’Hiring a common street punk to do the job...’
After saying this, Lin Feng didn’t provoke Yellow Hair any further.
He simply started counting down with a smile on his face.
"Ten... nine..."
His pace was steady, his voice even.
But the calmer he was, the more terrified Yellow Hair became.
’A million yuan is useless if you’re not alive to spend it.’
When Lin Feng’s count reached three,
Yellow Hair finally broke.
His head was throbbing, tormenting him.
The nauseating feeling wouldn’t go away.
And the glaring light was constantly chipping away at his mental fortitude.
"I... I’ll talk! If I talk, you can’t turn me over to the cops!"
Yellow Hair, drenched in a cold sweat, said as he stared into Lin Feng’s eyes.
Lin Feng passed the flashlight to Du Hai, who had been hiding in the shadows the whole time.
He leisurely took out a pack of cigarettes.
He pulled one out and tossed it onto Yellow Hair’s face.
Yellow Hair was a chain-smoker himself.
He immediately stuck the cigarette in his mouth.
With a friendly gesture, Lin Feng tossed the lighter over as well.
But the words that came from his mouth were laced with a strange, chilling ruthlessness. "You’re in no position to bargain with me. Right now, you’re fighting to save your own life."
"Don’t threaten me."
A chill ran down Yellow Hair’s spine.
This young man before him might have a mild demeanor, but his entire being radiated a sinister aura.
’This isn’t someone I can afford to cross.’
For the first time, Yellow Hair realized this.
By the time he finished the cigarette,
Yellow Hair had confessed pretty much everything about Li Yang’s murder-for-hire plot.
"That’s how it is. I even have the transfer records. He really ordered me to do all of it!"
Some things are like that; once you start talking, the rest just comes tumbling out.
Lin Feng smiled and patted Yellow Hair’s head.
"Is that everything?"
Yellow Hair nodded.
He had been extremely detailed.
He even recounted for Lin Feng how he had spent the 300,000 yuan he’d received.
When he heard that the mastermind was Li Yang,
Lin Feng’s expression showed no surprise at all.
He even said with an unreadable expression, "What a spoiled child. It seems a simple beating wasn’t enough to teach him a lesson."
Hiding in the shadows, Tian Xiaowu and Du Hai couldn’t help but shiver when they heard the tone in Lin Feng’s voice.
When Yellow Hair finished confessing everything and tried to slip away,
he turned his head and saw Du Hai and Tian Xiaowu hidden in the darkness.
A smile played on Tian Xiaowu’s lips as he waved his phone.
The color drained from Yellow Hair’s face.
But what surprised Yellow Hair even more was that,
as soon as he stepped out of the alley, he saw several people in uniform.
They were the ones who had come to arrest him for questioning.
It turned out the alley wasn’t far from the road where the incident had occurred.
As Yellow Hair was being handcuffed,
he could still see black smoke rising from the motorcycle in the distance.
Yellow Hair watched Du Hai and the others hand the phone with the recording to the uniformed officers.
Before leaving, Lin Feng even flashed him a smile.
But it only made Yellow Hair’s blood run cold.
"President Lin, I can’t believe that in this day and age, people are still pulling stunts like hiring a hitman!"
Du Hai recalled the thrilling and terrifying afternoon.
He said with lingering fear.
Lin Feng smiled and said, "There’s no shortage of fools in any era."
"The evil in people’s hearts isn’t something that can be fixed by simple education."
Tian Xiaowu looked at Lin Feng with a worried expression. "President Lin, how do you plan to handle this?"
"What if the person behind this tries something again?"
Lin Feng wasn’t the least bit concerned.
"We’ve already handed over all the necessary evidence. The rest is not our concern."
"The person behind it definitely won’t get away."
Tian Xiaowu could see that Lin Feng truly wasn’t letting the incident bother him.
In the car, Lin Feng calmly discussed an upcoming business trip as if nothing had happened.
"Once my exams are over, we’ll head to Cyan Mountain Town. The company that won the bid will probably start construction in the next couple of days."
"You two have already finished the planning phase. Your next job is to keep a close eye on these construction companies."
"Monitor their progress and the materials they use. Plus, once you’re on-site in Cyan Mountain Town, you can make adjustments to your plans and blueprints during the construction process."
Lin Feng gave his instructions casually.
It seemed his mood was completely unaffected by what had just happened.
Lin Feng was so composed, and his calmness was contagious, affecting the other two.
Tian Xiaowu and Du Hai were both grown men, still single.
They only had to worry about feeding themselves.
They were willing to follow Lin Feng anywhere.
When Lin Feng returned to his apartment,
he was surprised to find his three roommates and Su Ruoxi all waiting for him in the living room, their faces etched with anxiety.
The four of them let out a visible sigh of relief when they saw Lin Feng walk in.
Su Ruoxi’s eyes were red as she threw her arms around Lin Feng, her gaze filled with worry.
"I heard you were in a car accident?"
"We couldn’t reach you all afternoon!"
Hearing Su Ruoxi’s words, Lin Feng suddenly remembered.
While dodging Yellow Hair’s motorcycle,
his phone had been knocked to the ground. Later, during the interrogation, he had used Tian Xiaowu’s phone.
Lin Feng hugged Su Ruoxi, patting her slender back. "Didn’t I ask Du Hai to contact you?"
Yang Qiniang stepped forward and looked Lin Feng up and down. Only after confirming he wasn’t hurt did he speak.
"That new guy you hired is so unreliable! He called, said you were in an accident but not to worry, and then his phone was turned off!"
Lin Feng hadn’t expected that.
’No wonder they made such a big deal, coming straight to my apartment to wait for me.’
’They must have been worried sick.’
’And they had no way to reach me.’
’Still, they really do care about me.’
’Truly my good brothers.’
Lin Feng took Su Ruoxi’s hand and sat down on the sofa.
Cao Ming immediately went to pour Lin Feng a glass of water.
Lin Feng could feel their concern.
So, he briefly explained what had happened.
Lin Feng didn’t go into great detail.
’If I get too specific, it’ll just worry them more instead of putting them at ease.’
When he talked about dodging Yellow Hair’s motorcycle, he just said he had a premonition and acted on instinct.
