Chapter 696 - 438: Countering with Their Own Plan
Chapter 696: Chapter 438: Countering with Their Own Plan
To be honest, Xu Liang’s attitude towards Zhuge Rong is still relatively normal.
He’s not afraid of the other party, after all, he has Zhao De and others behind him. Unless the other party is crazy enough to abandon everything to fight him to the death, then there might be a slim chance of exchanging lives, but even that is very uncertain.
Why?
Because Xu Liang’s fists aren’t just for show!
As a ’shyster’, the first thing you need is not the bad rep of a shyster, but the ability to face retaliation without fear!
However, although he isn’t afraid... the curiosity is still there!
"Zhuge Rong... identity before ’84?"
Xu Liang raised an eyebrow, speaking with interest:
"What do you say, have you investigated his background?"
Zhuge Rong never relied on his ability, but on his background!
He died once in ’83.
Yet came back to life in ’84!
Abroad, he must have committed many heinous acts, yet he still wasn’t killed.
After returning home.
This ’death-row inmate’ could even win over Wang Chenghua, a man worth billions... and even founded the Red Heart Association!
For years, people must have noticed the problem with the Red Heart Association, yet it didn’t lead to Zhuge Rong’s death.
In Zhao Jie’s case... if not for me, he still wouldn’t have died!
This person...
Is genuinely difficult to kill!
"Not sure, but it seems quite troublesome."
Yang Ruoxi shook her head. If she knew, she wouldn’t have been able to contain herself and would have gone straight to him. How would Wang Chenghua be stationed at the courthouse otherwise?
"Uncle Wang wants you to call him personally."
"You might find out more over the phone."
Troublesome?
Indeed. Not mentioning the people behind him, the exposure of this matter alone is enough to cause a public outcry.
This is not alarmism.
Let’s put it this way.
Xu Liang previously studied a case, though it didn’t reach the level of Zhuge Rong’s, it was somewhat similar.
Where was it similar?
Both were extremely hard to kill, involving high-level intricacies.
First off, he had been sentenced seven times in his life!
The first time was for three years, then he was released for medical reasons. Forget three years, he didn’t even spend a month in prison.
Just a term?
No, if it were just a fixed term, that wouldn’t be hard to kill.
The second judgment was death sentence!
But a year later, the second trial changed it to a suspended death sentence, and the retrial further turned it into twenty years imprisonment!
Not until the third judgment did they sentence him to death!
From the first case to the death sentence, it dragged on for twenty-five years, from middle age to old age, gaining twenty-five years of life.
The case’s subject was surnamed Sun, very sensational, causing great surprise.
"Zhuge Rong’s background is even bigger than his..."
"Keeping it confidential is truly necessary."
Xu Liang pondered for a moment, finally making up his mind.
Yang Ruoxi: "Why not make a call?"
Xu Liang shook his head, patted her shoulder, then turned around toward the car.
"Go straight to the police station!"
Wang Hai has unexplainable things to tell him, and... it just so happens.
He also has something to tell him!
Thinking of this, an unknown light flashed in Xu Liang’s eyes, his heart suddenly tightening.
Regarding the Red Heart Association, he doesn’t believe Wang Hai wouldn’t be shocked!
"Let’s go!"
...
...
Five o’clock in the afternoon.
Upper City, police station.
"Phew, these old guys, so old yet still having so much energy for this kind of trouble.... "
Wang Hai in the office hung up a call, the worry on his face suddenly relaxed, murmuring helplessly.
He participated in a melee these days.
This is a true melee; Wang Hai doesn’t even know who his opponent is!
Yet he accompanies Zhao De and others, pulling back and forth over a small judicial notice, almost turning each other’s brains into dog brains!
Of course, if it were most people, they might shrink back or repay a favor.
But Wang Hai is different; he senses something fishy!
To know, what they’re tugging over is merely a judicial bureau notice, which is unimportant, almost expendable, yet persistently the point of conflict.
Why is this?
Wang Hai had such questions pop into his mind at the time, leading to the subsequent exchange with Xu Liang.
He didn’t expect, following the other’s clues for investigation...
"Didn’t expect he’s still alive."
Wang Hai murmured as if lost in memory.
He drew out a photo from the desk, the photo is taken from surveillance.
The person in the picture wears a hood, expensive attire, only revealing half a face... The half face looks ordinary, nothing striking, yet despite that.....
Wang Hai still stared intently!
He’s seen this person.
Only the person’s appearance has some differences from his memory, more... mature.
Or it could be, he saw this person twenty years ago!
"Things have become complicated."
Wang Hai sighed, just as he continued contemplating, the next moment.
The office door was suddenly knocked on.
"Knock knock knock~!"
The sound arose.
Wang Hai paused, placing the photo in the drawer, then blankly said:
"Enter."
"Squeak~"
The door opened, a Police Superintendent walked in, saluted, then said to him:
"Someone wants to see you, he says he knows you, and you’ve sought him before..."
Someone wants to see me?
Wang Hai paused, at his level, outsiders can’t easily get an audience.
So typically, regular police wouldn’t relay a message, unless... it’s confirmed!
Indeed it was.
This Police Superintendent saw Wang Hai’s phone number in a series of call records, hence approached Wang Hai, otherwise... it wouldn’t have been possible to pay attention, it’s not about being superior, but the basic system and process.
