47: The wealthy Zheng Jiasheng was shocked by Gao Ze's background

“Boss Zheng, do you have anything to say?”

Shen Gang’s gaze burned as he stared at Zheng Jiasheng, his eyes sharper and more terrifying than Gao Ze’s, like a knife ready to devour Zheng Jiasheng whole.

Zheng Jiasheng, however, remained silent, not uttering a single word. He merely glanced at his son, Zheng Yiren, and Liu Jianping, before closing his eyes.

He understood that he was now completely unable to save his youngest son.

Liu Jianping had already been arrested and confessed, so Zheng Yiren had no chance of escaping conviction.

At this moment, he finally understood.

This was a complete and utter trap.

Ever since his son, Zheng Yiren, called Gao Ze that morning, he had been in a state of panic.

Later, when he heard that the Police had received a call and photos from Mu Yu Rou’s parents, saying they found Mu Yu Rou’s phone while sorting her belongings.

When his son, Zheng Yiren, saw the photo of that light pink phone, he became even more flustered, frantically telling him to send someone to intercept and seize Mu Yu Rou’s relic phone.

At the time, he already suspected the truthfulness of the intelligence.

But Zheng Yiren desperately insisted, and as a father, he had no choice but to agree.

Fortunately, he had been cautious, only sending Liu Jianping, Zheng Yiren’s trusted confidant, and not his bodyguards or driver. Otherwise, he too would be implicated now, inviting trouble upon himself.

“Boss Zheng, don’t you have anything you want to say?”

Shen Gang clicked his tongue, staring coldly at Zheng Jiasheng, relentless.

“Regarding my son Zheng Yiren’s matter, I am not aware.”

Zheng Jiasheng opened his eyes and slowly made way for the banquet, saying:

“If he truly committed a crime, I will never condone it, and I ask you, the Police, to punish him severely. Let him be sentenced according to the law.”

Upon hearing this, Shen Gang and Gao Ze exchanged glances, and the words ‘old fox’ simultaneously surfaced in their minds.

A businessman like Zheng Jiasheng was truly too shrewd and decisive. Seeing that the general situation was lost, no matter how much his heart ached, even if the object was his beloved youngest son, he would cut ties without hesitation.

“Dad, you can’t abandon me!”

“I’m your most beloved son, how can you abandon me?”

“Dad, you know so many important people, please beg them, it will definitely work, I don’t want to die!”

Hearing his father, Zheng Jiasheng, cut ties, Zheng Yiren was incredibly terrified, wailing with snot and tears, reaching out to touch Zheng Jiasheng, but he was already being escorted away by criminal Police.

Zheng Jiasheng kept his eyes closed the entire time, not saying a word.

But from his constantly trembling and twitching cheeks, any guest at the banquet could guess Zheng Jiasheng’s state of mind at that moment.

Definitely not good!

And all of this stemmed from that man!

The guests’ gazes collectively turned to Gao Ze, a hint of fear flashing in their eyes, even the banquet host Sun Chaohui and the rich second-generation Liu Hong were no exception.

“Captain Shen, can I talk to Officer Gao?”

By the time Zheng Yiren’s wails completely disappeared from his ears, Zheng Jiasheng opened his eyes and his gaze fell on Gao Ze.

“What do you want to do?”

Shen Gang frowned, glancing at the three black-suited bodyguards beside Zheng Jiasheng.

Although Zheng Jiasheng was an old fox and the possibility of him ordering his bodyguards to attack Gao Ze was very small, he clearly held a grudge against Gao Ze.

“Just me, personally, I want to have a private word with Officer Gao!”

Zheng Jiasheng waved his hand, signaling his bodyguards to leave, his gaze still fixed on Gao Ze.

“Shen Team, I’ll talk to Boss Zheng, it’s no problem, no need to worry.”

Gao Ze agreed and walked with Zheng Jiasheng to a corner of the banquet hall.

The lighting here was dim. Zheng Jiasheng took out a lighter, lit a cigarette for himself, and then stared intently at Gao Ze, his eyes openly revealing his hatred, saying:

“Officer Gao, if I’m not mistaken, the root cause of this series of events is my son Zheng Yiren harassing your sister, Gao Xiaohui?”

“You and I are both smart people, no need to give me platitudes!”

“Yes!” Gao Ze nodded.

“Then for this incident, I must apologize to you. As a father, it was my dereliction of duty, my lax management, and I indulged him too much.”

The cigarette burned out in Zheng Jiasheng’s hand. His not-so-tall figure was stretched long by the dim light, appearing filled with deep desolation.

“You set up this trap, didn’t you?”

Zheng Jiasheng extinguished the cigarette in his hand and continued:

“When I received a tip from a friend in the Police that Mu Yu Rou’s parents had found Mu Yu Rou’s phone, and that the phone contained audio evidence, I was already suspicious.”

“This intelligence was unverified and very likely a trap.

But my son, upon seeing the photo of Mu Yu Rou’s light pink phone, went crazy and lost all reason, firmly believing that Mu Yu Rou’s parents had indeed found Mu Yu Rou’s belongings and possessed evidence.”

“Why would that happen?”

“I set the trap, and it was specifically for Zheng Yiren.”

Gao Ze calmly nodded, saying:

“As for your son going crazy and being so certain upon seeing the phone photo, that’s because Mu Yu Rou’s phone is real.”

“When Zheng Yiren assaulted Mu Yu Rou back then, he must have seen Mu Yu Rou carrying a phone, but after he killed her, he never found Mu Yu Rou’s phone.

In these two years, that undiscovered Mu Yu Rou phone has probably become a nightmare and a knot in his heart.”

“So that’s how it is!”

Zheng Jiasheng said, “Especially since Yiren knew you were reopening Mu Yurous Case, he was already like a startled bird. When he saw Mu Yu Rou’s phone, which he hadn’t found back then, appear, he would definitely try desperately to snatch it.”

“Your trap truly deserves to be called one specifically designed to deal with Yiren.

It calculated everything: my Zheng family’s intelligence network, my son’s personality and temperament, and even the crucial case clues from back then.”

“But how did you know that Mu Yu Rou had carried a phone when she saw my son back then, and that the phone was subsequently lost for two years?”

“I found it in the case files.”

Gao Ze naturally wouldn’t tell Zheng Jiasheng, that old geezer, that the crucial clue about Mu Yu Rou’s phone came from system intelligence.

“If you have anything else to say, say it all. Boss Zheng has important company matters to attend to; he should be busier than I am.”

“I’m no longer curious. Now I just want to ask Officer Gao one thing.”

The hatred in Zheng Jiasheng’s eyes erupted again, his voice low as he said: “Officer Gao, you orchestrated for my son to go to prison, even to lose his life. How should I repay you?”

“Boss Zheng, you, a wealthy magnate, are threatening me!”

Gao Ze didn’t care in the slightest. He pointed to the phone in his pocket and chuckled:

“The phone in my pocket has recorded our entire conversation. I’ll hand it over to the Municipal Bureau when I get back.”

“If anything happens to me or my family, don’t doubt it, the culprit will definitely be you.”

Zheng Jiasheng: “........”

His real threats, which he still had a belly full of, were choked back before he could even utter them.

“Boss Zheng, now I want to ask you something.”

Looking at Zheng Jiasheng’s slightly flushed face, Gao Ze gently patted his shoulder, as if dusting him off: “Have you really investigated my background?”

Zheng Jiasheng frowned: “???”

According to his initial intelligence investigation, Gao Ze came from a struggling family, raised his younger siblings, had no house, no car, no money, and recently even got married and took a wife.

What kind of background could that be?
