Meng Chi sat still.

Bai Muchuan cleared his throat. He was able to get the timing right. That day was Xiang Wans birthday and she was in Jin City. He might not have known which one of us would go to Jin City since Xiang Wan and myself hadnt gotten back together then. However, that was not important as he only required you to hold the gun, kill someone and take the blame for him officially

Meng Chi remained silent.

When Xiang Wan got kidnapped to Wen Xin Nunnery, you and Yu Ning were in a leisure resort in Nanmu. When Lima and Abdul died from a car crash, you were held in the Criminal Investigation Unit in Xi City Truth is, we do not have direct evidence on you. Even though we have the recording samples of your voice at Wen Xin Nunnery and Limas house; even though Yu Bo stated clearly that he had seen you and that youre the one who asked him to kill the victims of the 121 case; even if Ye Lun testifies against you that he saw you and Yu Bo inside a car The murder charges that the police want to pin on you, are simply not strong enough!

Tu Liangs death is actually the key that could make you receive a death sentence.

The girls who died in the 121 case.

The murderer was Yu Bo.

This had already been confirmed.

With regards to Yu Bos statement that Meng Chi was the one who made him do all of that, as he had some mental problems, his statement would be controversial in the eyes of law

As for the incident at Vultures Mouth, it was directed by Cui Ming.

For Cui Ming, Lima and Abdul, the police only had Meng Chis voice recording as evidence

Nevertheless, in this modern era, it was not a problem to synthesize someones voice.

Xie Wanwan told me that she had asked you personally if youre the one who did all of that You asked her if she would believe you if you told her that you didnt do it.

She didnt believe you and even told you that she fell in love with a man

You told her that youre not a good person but youre not a bad person either.

Meng Chi, you still have a chance to tell us that you didnt kill Tu Liang.

Silence took over.

Meng Chi was still the same, his head was lowered and he didnt say a word.

Cough! Cough, cough

Bai Muchuan started to cough again.

In the visiting room, only the sounds of his coughing were heard.

The atmosphere was cold and lonely.

The few of them were quiet and did not interrupt.

When Bai Muchuan stopped coughing, he drank another mouthful of water.

You have seen a psychiatrist and there are also medical records about your Dissociative Ident.i.ty Disorder in the dossier. But did you really think that you can get away unscathed using that excuse with your strong team of lawyers?

Meng Chi was taken aback for a moment.

There was a significant change in his expression.

Bai Muchuan gave a smile casually. So, you accepted Ye Luns deal and took the rap for him?

Meng Chi remained silent.

Before I came here, I had no idea what kind of relations.h.i.+p you have with Ye Lun that you have to do this for him However, when I talked to you earlier, I suddenly realized Bai Muchuan got up from his chair and walked towards Meng Chi, looking at him as well as his handcuffs. The one you want to protect is Xie Wanwan.

Meng Chi lifted his head suddenly.

I dont know what you are talking about.

I said, you dont like men. The one you like is Xie Wanwan.

Every word of his was powerful.

Meng Chi, however, his reaction wasnt as great as others expected.

No one was sure if hed gotten infected by Bai Muchuans coughing as he started to cough as well.

Second Young Master Mu is indeed Second Young Master Mu. Your ability to make up stories is astonis.h.i.+ng. Im so engrossed in your story but

He looked at Bai Muchuan coldly. Take it that the one I want to protect is Xie Wanwan and that the real murderer is Ye Lun, what do these two have to do with each other?

Bai Muchuan showed a confident smile. Its simple! The reason why Ye Lun kidnapped Xie Wanwan is to show you that its as simple as killing an ant if he wanted to kill Xie Wanwan or land you in prison After all, he could synthesize your voice, manipulate Brother Steel and even kill Cui Ming. He directed such a magnificent case at Vultures Mouth. To him, killing Xie Wanwan is nothing.

This reversal was too fast.

Inside the visiting room, the two prison guards were shocked.

Even Huang He didnt expect to hear that.

Prior to coming to see Meng Chi, Bai Muchuan did not tell Huang He what he had intended to do.

As the two of them conversed with each other, it turned out that what they had previously believed in was completely overturned, which was appalling for them.

Only Meng Chi was calm about it.

He lifted his head to look at Bai Muchuan whose back was facing the light.

He couldnt see Bai Muchuans eyes clearly but he could feel the imposing pressure from him.

Meng Chi, you still dont want to talk about it?

Why? Meng Chi asked slowly, Why did you want to ask me about this and not Ye Lun?

Ill be honest with you. We havent caught him yet.

As he said so, Bai Muchuan showed Meng Chi the second episode of the murderers script and showed it to him. Did you think that by taking the rap for him, he would let Xie Wanwan off? Youre too naive! Resorting to this in order to protect your beloved. Hur! You gave her all your riches but left her in the mouth of a devil? CEO Meng, I really wonder how you pit your wits against your stepmother and stepbrother in order to gain control of the Meng Entertainment Group?

Meng Chi took a deep breath.

I didnt do this entirely to protect her. I dont have a choice.

Hes obstinate!

But at least, he managed to make the first step.

It was fine, as long as he was still willing to open his mouth.

Bai Muchuan returned to his seat and continued to look at him.

Tell me then, what exactly happened?

Under his cold gaze, Meng Chi didnt put up a resistance.

He was already a prisoner. No matter if he wanted to live on or continue to protect another, he could only depend on the police.

He said, Its true that I met Yu Bo.

Mm. Bai Muchuan listened quietly.

It was what Ye Lun had said. I met up with Yu Bo not far from the Nanmu Hotel. He didnt lie.

And?

Its true that I did want to break you and Xiang Wan up. That was because Meng Liang likes you.

Bai Muchuan nodded his head. Continue.

Thats all.

You have nothing else to say?

Youve said the rest.

Bai Muchuan squinted his eyes to a line.

I want to hear you talk about it personally.

Tu Liang Meng Chi glanced at him. I did shoot him but it was not on purpose.

What do you mean? Bai Muchuan felt his heart being clasped at the moment of Tu Liangs death. Make yourself clear.

That day I had brought the ransom money with me as well as a gun. That gun belonged to me Upon entering that place, I saw that both Ye Lun and Xie Wanwan were unconscious. I had the gun in my hand when the police arrived. However, I didnt know that it was the police. I had thought the kidnappers had arrived so I quickly turned around with my gun ready to shoot

So youre the one who shot him? Bai Muchuan asked in a cold tone.

No Not really Meng Chi shook his head a few times. His eyes were half-opened as though he was puzzled at the memory himself. I was crouching when that happened as I was checking the condition of both Ye Lun and Xie Wanwan. When I turned around, Ye Lun suddenly woke up and grabbed my hand where he pulled the trigger or was it me

He shook his head once again.

I dont know what to say.

That instant was too chaotic.

When he saw the police,

When he saw Ye Luns chilly smile, when he heard Ye Lun telling him, Its alright, Ill help you protect her.

Meng Chi saw the shock on Tu Liangs face, but what he didnt know was that he also had the same look as him.

In just a few seconds before he regained his senses, the rest of the police officers had rushed in.

By then, Ye Lun had already fallen into a coma, lying on the floor

We did test Ye Luns blood. He was indeed unconscious because of the sleeping drug.

Hur! Meng Chi shook his head. Now you can see why I have nothing to say why bother?

However, there was a time difference between Tu Liang being shot and Ye Luns drug-taking effect

Ye Lun made use of the time difference.

It was a perfect crime.

He framed Meng Chi without implicating himself and pinned on the latter a crime that he couldnt refute.

I thought about this a lot now that Im here at the detention center, said Meng Chi, I figured out a lot of things that I couldnt in the past. Your deduction is correct. It is true that someone made use of the 121 case to direct the polices attention to Vultures Mouth, to the Dark Clan However, that someone is not me. Its Ye Lun.

His motive was to make use of the police to take out the Dark Clan and kill Cui Ming As for me, I got used by him as cannon fodder during the process. I have to admit that hes really a genius. Hes the same as Qin Shu in The Grey List, everything he planned out was extremely meticulous and happened at an opportune time.

As he said this, Meng Chi furrowed his eyebrows. However, theres one thing I dont quite get. What kind of grudge did Ye Lun have against Cui Ming? What would he gain dealing with the Dark Clan and Cui Ming?

He shook his head and laughed bitterly.

Bai Muchuan felt his pulse freeze for a moment.

Meng Chi didnt know that but Bai Muchuan knew why.

If Cui Ming didnt die, An Ying wouldnt be able to gain control of the Dark Clan.

All that was planned out so that he could partner with Heavens Wrath and execute their plans.

During Cui Mings time, he hated the idea of ganging up with foreign influences.

This was a really big plan.

Even in his death, Cui Ming wouldnt have known that there was a huge conspiracy.

He had done so much but ultimately, it would be used by others.
