70: Chapter 70 The Fall

Xu He smiled slightly.

"Miss Xia, are you joking? How, how could I have the guts to poison you? Everything was directed by Victor Anfei; he made me do it. Otherwise, even if I were given ten times the courage, I wouldn't dare do such a thing. Miss Xia, you must not wrong an innocent person!"

Xu He defended themselves in a panic. The glass of wine had already been sent to the forensics department. The poisoning was a confirmed fact. If they admitted to poisoning it now, they would have to go to jail. They didn't want that; they didn't want to spend their life in prison. Therefore, they absolutely could not admit it.

"Xu He, you aren't as stupid as I thought. However, everything requires evidence. Whether you did it or not, go tell the police yourself. I believe the police are just. If you didn't do this, they will absolutely give you justice."

Seeing the face of such a petty person, Xia Wei felt truly disgusted.

Xia Wei turned her head and said to her bodyguard.

"Heizi, go pull up the surveillance footage from the 25th floor for me. Wait a moment, when the police arrive, hand these over as evidence. Let the police decide on the follow-up matters. We shouldn't interfere."

After saying this, Xia Wei prepared to leave.

Suddenly, Xu He grabbed Xia Wei's hand.

"Miss Xia, Miss Xia, you can't do this. I didn't do anything, I really didn't do anything. You have to believe me, believe me."

Xu He's expression changed drastically. They really didn't want to go to jail.

"Are you an idiot? I already told you. I have handed this matter over to the police; go tell them whatever you have to say. Why are you grabbing me now? Are you sick?"

Upon hearing this, Xu He's face turned ashen instantly. They sat on the floor and muttered to themselves.

"Miss Xia, you can't do this, you can't do this."

Not long after, Heizi walked over.

"Miss Xia, the surveillance footage has been retrieved. Just wait a moment, when the police arrive, I will hand it over to them," Heizi said as he walked in from outside.

"Well done, Heizi. Then you wait here for a while and hand over the evidence of their crimes to the police. I believe the police officers will definitely not wrong me and will certainly give me an explanation."

Xia Wei said.

"Xia Wei, I didn't expect you to be so ruthless." Victor Anfei looked full of despair. This time, it was true despair. He no longer had anything left to contend with them.

Although poisoning Xia Wei was a last resort, the reality was right there. There was no way to deny it. In an instant, he had lost everything. Everything was ruined. He understood that from now on, in this country, his family would never be able to make a comeback. Now he had to enter the police station. Once he went in, he could forget about coming out.

Victor Anfei knew that he was truly finished this time. Even if the charge of attempted murder didn't stick, if he were to ever get out of the police station, Xia Wei and the others would likely have already arranged everything.

Looking at the dejected Victor Anfei, Xia Wei thought to herself: Once you enter the police station, don't even think about coming out again. Letting you stay in the police station for the rest of your life is already my greatest act of mercy. You brought this outcome upon yourself; you can't blame anyone else.

The police arrived very quickly. Before long, they took Victor Anfei and Xu He to the police station.

Ring-ring~

Looking at the name Moriarty flashing on his phone, Zhang Shan was a bit puzzled. After all, Moriarty hadn't contacted him for quite some time.

"Brother, what mood are you in to bother your younger brother today?"

Zhang Shan was in his usual hoodlum demeanor.

There was no sound on the other end of the receiver for quite a while. Just when Zhang Shan thought his phone was broken, Moriarty finally spoke.

"Brother, Victor Anfei and his subordinate are dead."

"How did they die? And how did you find out about this news?"

Zhang Shan asked in a deep voice.

"Brother, you know that I have always been keeping an eye on Victor and the others. Today, I heard that Xia Wei had sent them to the police station. Out of curiosity, I sent my subordinates to investigate."

"A police officer I have a good relationship with told me that Victor Anfei jumped from the building himself, and Xu He committed suicide in the police station."

"Victor Anfei jumping off a building? How is that possible? He is so afraid of death."

Zhang Shan found it a bit hard to believe. After all, Victor Anfei was like an unkillable cockroach, constantly fighting against him. So, how could such a person jump off a building? It was simply impossible.

"I'm not clear on that either. That's what the people at the police station said, saying he couldn't help himself and jumped off the building." Moriarty was also completely bewildered. What was going on? He just jumped to his death? Why would he jump to his death?

"There's another point: that Xu He, why would they commit suicide? They didn't really do anything, only assisted a little. Even if sentenced, it wouldn't be for many years."

Zhang Shan continued to analyze.

"That's true, but the current situation is just like this. I don't know the specifics either."

Zhang Shan frowned. This was really too strange. How could Victor Anfei commit suicide? He wouldn't believe it even if beaten to death. Although Victor Anfei's death was beneficial to him, he died too suddenly.

Could there be circumstances he didn't know about? Zhang Shan fell into deep thought. If there really were circumstances he didn't know about, then this could actually be explained. It seemed that someone didn't want him to stay alive.

It seemed there was a mysterious person behind Victor Anfei. That mysterious person had actually silenced them to avoid exposure. They were truly ruthless.

Zhang Shan sighed. Now that Victor Anfei was dead, his amusement was lost. This person behind the scenes was quite ruthless. Victor Anfei must have done quite a few things for them. They were simply more cold-hearted than he was.

"I'm telling you! You shouldn't have handed Victor Anfei over to the police. We should have kept him under our control. If we had controlled him back then, this kind of thing wouldn't have happened."

Gu Nan was chewing an apple, speaking indistinctly.

"However, it's too late to say anything now. Victor Anfei is already dead. Just take it as a lesson learned. Next time! When encountering this kind of thing, let's not be so impulsive. We must handle it ourselves. That way, we'll have a chance to know what the person behind it all is like."

Gu Nan had finally caught an opportunity to lecture someone, and once he started, he couldn't stop.

"Alright, alright, I know. This time I was careless. Can you stop talking now, please? My ancestor."

Zhang Shan felt that before he could be finished off by the enemy, he would be nagged to death by Gu Nan first.
