The atmosphere in the room suddenly became solemn.

The truth has been revealed, and there is no need for Cheng Shu to pretend to be ignorant.

Ling Che did not die. Instead, he knew his whereabouts and deliberately came here, undoubtedly to settle the score with him.

He knew that Ling Che was not someone to be trifled with, and that he was much more ruthless than his father.

So for such people, either don't provoke them, or find the right time to kill them.

Once you provoke him but fail to hurt him, there will definitely be a chance that he will turn around and trample him to death.

He asked calmly, "What do you want?"

Ling Che took the last puff of his cigarette and threw the burning butt into the glass wine glass in front of Cheng Chengshu. A crackling sound came from the glass and a few wisps of green smoke rose from the rim of the glass.

He tilted his head and spoke slowly, "I'll ask you three questions. Think carefully before you answer."

After he finished speaking, Qi Jin, who was standing beside him, placed a mobile phone in front of Cheng Shu.

Suddenly, screams of fear and helplessness were heard on the phone screen.

The moment Cheng Shu saw the screen on the phone, his calm expression changed, his pupils suddenly shrank, and a flash of panic crossed his face.

On the other side of the screen is a dim basement. The room is dark and damp, with no light.

A beautiful young woman in her thirties fell to the ground, holding a little girl of six or seven years old tightly in her arms.

Two meters away from them was an iron cage several meters long, in which lay two huge and ferocious hunting dogs.

The hound stared at the mother and daughter with fierce eyes, its mouth wide open with a tongue more than ten centimeters long hanging down, and its exposed fangs like two curved hooks that could bite through a child's waist in one bite.

The mother and daughter crying at this time were the prey they had been coveting for a long time.

"Dad! Save me!"

"Husband! Husband, where are you!"

Helpless cries were heard from the screen, and Cheng Shu's eyes gradually turned bloodshot.

He gritted his teeth and looked at the nonchalant man beside him, "How did you find them!"

Ling Che smiled leisurely, "If I hadn't put in some effort, I really wouldn't have known that President Cheng had hidden his beautiful wife and adorable daughter in the south."

This young woman was Cheng Shu's third wife, a dozen years his junior. Two years earlier, Cheng Shu had secretly sent the mother and daughter to a small southern city, where they lived a comfortable life, a testament to how much Cheng Shu valued them.

If we hadn't checked his travel records of long-distance trips in recent years, we would never have found this mother and daughter.

Ling Che tapped the phone screen with his slender fingertips and said in a quiet voice, "I only have three questions. If you answer them truthfully, I will let them go."

He turned his head and looked over, "Did you kill Jin Jiang?"

Cheng Shu looked at the phone screen on the table with an extremely grim expression and said in a deep voice, "I hired someone to kill him. I was afraid that you would find out about me, so I silenced him."

Ling Che chuckled, leaning back in his chair and crossing his legs. "So, you were also responsible for what happened six years ago?"

Cheng Shu was startled and his eyes suddenly looked at the man's cold profile.

There was a faint smile on his face, but his deep eyes were like a poisonous snake that could take someone's life at any time.

"Haha." Cheng Shu laughed coldly, "I didn't expect that Young Master Ling, who has been cynical on the surface in recent years, is secretly investigating the cause of Mr. Ling's death."

Ling Che looked at him with interest, waiting for his next words.

"That's right, Ling Zhengqing's death was indeed not an accident."

Cheng Shu frankly admitted, "I had him killed because he almost blocked my path to wealth."

Ling Che still smiled faintly and shook the wine glass in his hand.

"Ling's is such a huge business, so naturally I wanted a piece of the pie. Jin Jiang has been with Ling Zhengqing for many years and has earned his trust. So I used Jin Jiang to set up a scheme and embezzled a large amount of your Ling's public funds. But that idiot Jin Jiang couldn't hide the truth, and it wasn't long before Ling Zhengqing discovered it."

At this point, he sneered, "I didn't expect Ling Zhengqing to be so kind as not to send Jin Jiang to jail. Instead, he simply sent him away and told him to leave the Ling Group. I was afraid Ling Zhengqing would find out about me, so I used Jin Jiang's identity to lure him to the warehouse where the crime occurred and set it on fire."

"I was afraid the fire wouldn't kill him, so I had the hired killer shoot him. He was lucky not to be burned to death in the warehouse. He was dying when he was rescued. It's a pity that he couldn't say anything at that time."

"Later, I gave Jin Jiang a large sum of money and told him to get out of Beijing and hide somewhere small, never to come back. That way, even if the police come one day, they will only find that it was Jin Jiang who fled out of fear of being punished."

He seemed very satisfied with his plan and smiled, "As expected, those useless police couldn't find out anything. The death of the dignified President Ling will forever be an accident."

His cold gaze fell on Ling Che, "If his son hadn't been investigating, this secret would never have been discovered."

"Finished?"

Ling Che stared at him with a half-smile and uttered these three words.

Cheng Shu was obviously stunned. He didn't expect that the man who knew the truth didn't show any anger at all, but remained as calm as ever.

He even felt that Ling Che was not listening to the cause of his biological father's death, but rather listening to the story of an unrelated person.

Ling Che lit a cigarette and slowly blew out smoke rings. "Tell me, who is the big boss behind you?"

Cheng Shu's eyes narrowed, "Wh, what big boss?"

Ling Che glared at him, "How can a small charity organization like you, as its president, be capable of doing so many things? Are you taking me for a fool?"

Cheng Shu insisted, "There is no big boss. I've told you everything you want to know."

Ling Che smiled softly, glanced at the phone screen on the table, and said slowly, "Then throw this small one to the dog first. A six or seven-year-old child will probably eat it in two bites."

"Mr. Cheng, do you want to see with your own eyes how these two greedy puppies chew up and swallow your daughter in one bite?"

When he said this, his voice was not loud, but the excitement in his eyes was hard to conceal, which made people feel a chill down their spine and all over.

Cheng Shu shouted anxiously, "Ling Che! You said you would let them go if I answered three questions!"

"But you're not honest." Ling Che flicked the ash from his fingertips. "I'll give you one last chance."

At this moment, a heart-wrenching scream came from the other end of the phone.

The little girl, about six or seven years old, had been snatched from the woman's arms by two men, who were about to throw her into the dog cage.

The two hounds suddenly became excited, stood up suddenly and roared and barked at the outside of the cage.

The women and girls were so frightened and desperate that their voices were hoarse.

"I said!"

Cheng Shu yelled, his eyes bloodshot, and turned to stare at the devilish man, "I'm telling you!"
