38: Chapter 38 The truth comes out, regret

At this moment, Uncle Zhang suddenly roared with a ferocious expression.

"Nonsense! Where is the evidence? Without evidence, on what grounds do you say I did it?"

Then, Uncle Zhang pointed at the livid Zheng Tian and Liu Wen, raging, "Could it not have been them?"

Zheng Tian was extremely furious at this point: "You really are a beast. Even now, you're still thinking of framing me? That was my father! How could I possibly kill my father?"

"What's impossible about it? Anything can happen in this world; nothing is impossible!"

"You want evidence, right?"

Qin Mo said slowly and leisurely.

His calm voice, like a Yama demanding a soul, instantly left Uncle Zhang frozen in place.

Impossible, could it be... did I really leave behind some evidence? But the surveillance had already been destroyed by me, what other evidence could there be?

At this moment, Uncle Zhang's mind was in utter chaos. He was afraid; he was afraid that he had truly left behind some evidence, and he was also afraid that Qin Mo was bluffing.

Qin Mo sneered and said slowly:

"Have you forgotten? You said the key to the storage room had always been with you. You also said that after the deceased took the key, he never returned it to you."

"But the strange thing is, we searched every corner of the deceased's room and didn't find it. Why was it finally discovered in your room? Can you explain why that is?"

"This..."

As soon as these words were spoken, Uncle Zhang's face suddenly turned deathly pale. He had actually... forgotten such an important matter...

"So you were lying from the beginning. The deceased never took the mask; you were the one who took the mask to commit the crime."

"I think your plan began two months ago, when you took the deceased to the mask exhibition. You were also the one who destroyed the surveillance, right up until last night when you killed the deceased."

Speaking up to this point, Qin Mo changed his tone and roared:

"Speak! What was your purpose in doing this? What was your motive?"

The whole scene was in an uproar. Everyone looked at Uncle Zhang in disbelief. It was actually... really him!

There were also some people shocked by Qin Mo's deduction, their gazes filled with worship, staring fixedly at Qin Mo as if wanting to see right through him.

Uncle Zhang's face was deathly pale. The confident look from just a moment ago was gone. His whole person seemed instantly dejected, as if he had aged several decades.

He hadn't expected that his seemingly flawless plan, and the alibi he had painstakingly created, would be like transparent glass under Qin Mo's eyes.

Zheng Tian looked at Uncle Zhang with utter confusion and disbelief. He couldn't understand why, when his father had been so good to him, he would want to kill his father...

Thinking of this, Zheng Tian could no longer control his emotions. He angrily rushed forward and grabbed Uncle Zhang by the collar tightly.

"Speak! Why did you kill my father? You beast! My father treated you so well! How could you bring yourself to do it?"

Uncle Hat, who was on the side, saw this and immediately pulled Zheng Tian away to prevent a conflict between the two.

Suddenly, Uncle Zhang, who had been dazed for a long time, seemed to just regain his senses and sneered.

"Treated me well? Hmph, if he treated me well, why wouldn't he even lend me a mere one hundred thousand yuan? I served him for twenty years! He wouldn't even lend me a mere one hundred thousand!"

Li Ming frowned and said in a low voice: "What do you need so much money for?"

"Hmph."

"What for? To save my mother! My mother is seriously ill and needs five hundred thousand for surgery. I didn't ask to borrow that much; I only wanted to borrow one hundred thousand. As long as I had that one hundred thousand, I could go to the casino to win it back, and I would definitely be able to earn enough to save my mother!"

"If it hadn't been for a kind person who donated five hundred thousand to me in the end, my mother would have died long ago. Don't you think he deserved to die?"

Uncle Zhang's face was full of anger and resentment.

"You're still gambling?"

Once these words were spoken, Li Ming's gaze toward Uncle Zhang became even colder.

"What do you know?"

Just then, Zheng Tian, who was being held back by Uncle Hat, suddenly roared.

"Who do you think the kind person who donated five hundred thousand to you was? It was my father! It was the person you killed!"

"You... what did you say?"

Uncle Zhang was stunned instantly.

Zheng Tian said with a face full of regret: "My father really misjudged you. I never expected that the person he had been helping all along was a heartless beast!"

"You... you must be lying to me, right? It wasn't him who donated the five hundred thousand to me, right?"

"Hmph!"

Zheng Tian sneered.

"Who else could it be but him? He personally handed the money to me, and I had someone pay your surgery fees. Otherwise, who in this society do you think would donate five hundred thousand to you at once?"

"This... this..."

Uncle Zhang was trembling all over at this moment, unable to squeeze out a single word for a long time. The impact of what Zheng Tian said was simply too great for him.

"Just two days ago, my father was still giving me instructions, saying that you had served our family diligently for twenty years and that he had long regarded you as his own brother. He also said that you were a gambler, and if he gave you that one hundred thousand, you would surely lose it all."

"For this reason, he specifically instructed me to take five hundred thousand to pay for your surgery fees, and he didn't even let me tell you, fearing it would hurt your self-esteem. But what have you done? You are worse than a beast!"

"Also, my father specifically instructed that after he died, half of his inheritance should be transferred to your name. Now it seems you have failed my father! You don't deserve it!"

At this moment, the hatred on Zheng Tian's face had almost become tangible. If it weren't for Uncle Hat holding him back tightly, he might have already rushed up to beat Uncle Zhang up.

...

"This... this is truly worse than a beast!"

"A typical case of the farmer and the snake. If someone treated me that well, I would give them anything. Even if it were my ass, what of it?"

"To the person above, really?"

"Ahem... I'm joking, don't take it seriously..."

"I have to say, this Uncle Zhang is truly shameless! It was their money to begin with. They can lend it if they want, and not lend it if they don't. By what right do you demand it? Because you have a big face? Or because you worked in someone else's house for twenty years? It's not like they didn't pay you a salary."

"Truly outrageous. Sigh, as expected, good people don't live long..."

"To the person above, saying that makes me feel a bit sorry for Brother Mo..."

"What do you mean? Do you have some misunderstanding about what a 'good person' is? Does Brother Mo count as a good person? Ask those people who were sent in by Brother Mo if Brother Mo really counts as a good person."

"Uh..."

...

Knowing the ins and outs of the story, Uncle Zhang completely collapsed. What could be more serious than personally killing one's own benefactor?

Thump!

Uncle Zhang knelt heavily on the ground, his head slamming hard against the floor.

"Sir! I have failed you... wuwu..."

"I am the one who deserves to die! I have failed you!" Uncle Zhang's face was full of remorse, but there is no medicine for regret in this world.

The scene was silent. Everyone's eyes looking at Uncle Zhang were filled with rage.

A person who treated him so well was actually killed by his own hands. If the Uncle Hat present were an ordinary person, they would surely have been unable to resist cursing him out.

Zheng Tian looked coldly at Uncle Zhang. He hated him; he was extremely furious!

"Take him away!"

Li Ming said coldly.

Two Uncle Hats immediately escorted Uncle Zhang out.
