Chapter 55: Chapter 54: Plan of Lies in Progress_1
"Brother Zang, I don't quite understand what's so scary about that woman. She's just a chick, can't a few of us take her down?" a man said with evident confusion.
"Exactly, Boss Wang. I think the woman is just an ordinary person who studies medicine, what's there to be afraid of?" another man also chimed in.
"You don't know shit!" Wang Cang said with a furious look: "If you had a direct conflict with her, a mere glance from her could scare you shitless! And if it really came to blows, I bet none of you would even know how you died!"
"Ah? Is it really that exaggerated?"
"Don't doubt it, it's indeed that exaggerated," Wang Cang said, frowning.
—Slap—
Suddenly, the door of the room was opened, and a man wearing a suit and sunglasses walked in. He glanced at the group of oddly dressed young men, finally resting his gaze on Wang Cang.
"Are you the son of Director Wang, Wang Cang?" the man in the suit asked.
Wang Cang was already furious, and this man had come barging in without even knocking. Ordinarily, he would have cursed the man out, but since the visitor mentioned his father right off the bat, he assumed it couldn't be someone unimportant.
"Who are you?" Wang Cang asked.
The man in the suit took two steps and sat down on a couch, then said, "Have them all leave."
Wang Cang frowned, and after two seconds, he waved the others off: "You guys go out first."
The vibrantly dressed young men cast unfriendly glances at the suited man. They had never seen anyone who dared to enter without knocking wherever they hung out. If it weren't for Brother Zang's word, they'd have kicked the intruder out first.
As the group of men left the private room, Wang Cang spoke to the man in the suit: "I'm not in a good mood right now. Everyone's gone, so speak your piece."
The man in the suit, expressionless, took out an identity document from his pocket and placed it on the coffee table, saying, "I'm from the Tianjiang Investigation Group, Sha Baihe, currently in charge of the mission to arrest criminals from the Nightfall Organization in this area.
Regarding your brother's murder, I believe there's a high probability it's related to the Nightfall Organization."
"Tianjiang Investigation Group?"
Wang Cang's face changed dramatically, and he quickly picked up the man's credentials from the table to have a look. The sight shocked him so much that he nearly jumped off the couch.
This was a genuine Tianjiang Investigation Group membership card! It bore an unmistakable and highly distinctive code that no one dared to forge, sealed with stamps from the Commanding Officers of the Central Area!
Wang Cang, his face filled with shock, carefully placed the credentials back, internally relieved that he had managed to hold his tongue from snapping earlier.
Otherwise, his whole family might have been dragged into trouble.
"Leader Sha... Should I address you like that?" Wang Cang's demeanor became much more respectful, and he immediately stopped tapping his leg on the table.
"You can call me whatever you like. I'm here to investigate a matter with you," Sha Baihe said as he pulled out a photograph from his pocket and put it on the table, "Have you seen this person before?"
Wang Cang quickly grabbed the photo and saw that it was the loser he had been staking out to kill for the past two days!
"I've seen him. His name is Fang Ren, and he went to the same university as my brother. He was the only one present when my brother was killed," Wang Cang said.
"What? He was at the scene when your brother was murdered?"
"Yes, Leader Sha, is there a problem with this person?" Wang Cang's heart suddenly raced with the thrilling thought that Fang Ren might be treated as a major criminal for some reason, and then that woman, Mu Huanqing, would be utterly disappointed in him and show a look of disgust.
Sha Baihe seemed deep in thought, his brow furrowed.
After a while, he spoke again: "I've been tracking the movements of the Nightfall Organization through the city's street cameras recently, and I found that this university student named Fang Ren entered an alley twice with a suspicious person wearing black.
I don't know what their connection is, but if that person in black is a member of the Nightfall Organization, then it's almost certain that Fang Ren is also a member."
"What?"
Wang Cang was shocked. He hadn't expected his suspicions to be so close to the truth. Fang Ren indeed had ties to the Nightfall Organization!
Seeing him take the bait, Sha Baihe continued, "However, due to insufficient evidence on our side and to prevent scaring them off, we came to investigate with you. After all, it's been said that your brother Wang Shuai might have also fallen victim to the Nightfall Organization."
"Leader Sha! I get it now! This Fang Ren is absolutely a member of the Nightfall Organization!" After listening, Wang Cang suddenly became very agitated and blurted out, "This Fang Ren had a conflict with my younger brother in the school cafeteria about a week ago.
It all started because both of them liked the same girl. My brother saw that Fang Ren's methods of pursuing the girl were despicable and shameless, so he went and had a few words with him.
It wasn't a big deal, but that evening, when Fang Ren was leaving the school, he said to my brother: 'You will die a horrible death'... And it turned out to be true!"
Wang Cang, while speaking, didn't care about the truth of the incident anymore. He tried to paint Fang Ren as evil as possible and slander him however he could.
Anyway, he had already confirmed that Fang Ren was undoubtedly related to his brother's death. As long as the person who harmed his brother was punished, what harm was there in twisting the truth?
"Is that really what happened?" Sha Baihe asked with a frown.
Wang Cang continued, "I was very puzzled on the day my brother was killed, wondering why only my brother fell victim and no one else was harmed. And coincidentally, only Fang Ren was right there at the scene. Why not someone else?"
Sha Baihe kept frowning and said, "It seems that this Fang Ren is indeed the person who harmed Wang Shuai without a doubt..."
"Leader Sha! Then why haven't you arrested him yet? For such a person, just seize him and kill him!" Wang Cang said.
"Arrest him? Since the evidence is conclusive now, why bother arresting him? Just kill him directly," Sha Baihe said.
Wang Cang was startled, "Don't we even need a trial for the crime?"
Sha Baihe replied, "Members of the Nightfall Organization don't deserve to be arrested and tried for their crimes. The Central District Commander already gave orders three years ago that we can directly kill members of this organization when we encounter them."
It was only then that Wang Cang suddenly remembered the order issued by the Central District Commander all those years ago.
"However, to kill this Fang Ren, I guess I can't be the one to do it," Sha Baihe continued.
"Why not?" Wang Cang frowned.
"Think about it, our organization is specifically aimed at fighting the Nightfall Organization. If they knew that we came here, would they dare show up again? To bait the enemy into a trap and eradicate more members, I definitely can't be the one to kill Fang Ren."
"Leader Sha! Let me do it!" Wang Cang immediately offered, "I want to personally settle the score for my brother!"
Seeing his eagerness, Sha Baihe chuckled coldly in his heart but maintained a serious expression on his face, "You must think this through, killing Fang Ren will make you an enemy of the entire Nightfall Organization, and the experts by his side will surely target you.
However, after you kill him, our organization will also send experts to protect you. Besides, killing a member of the Nightfall Organization is a great achievement. If you cooperate with us, the Tianjiang Headquarters will certainly promote you significantly."
Wang Cang only caught the latter half of the conversation, the promise of a promotion from the Tianjiang Headquarters was indeed tempting, and not to mention avenging his brother, he would also get protection after the kill!
Why not go for it?
"Leader Sha! For the peace of Earth, my life, Wang Cang, is well worth sacrificing!" Wang Cang spoke fervently.
"Good! I admire your spirit, young man." Sha Baihe said, taking out a yellow talisman paper from his pocket and placing it on the coffee table, "However, for your safety, I've decided you shouldn't act personally. This is a Hidden Weapon Talisman.
Just place it near Fang Ren and it will naturally kill him."
"It's that simple? Then why don't you guys just use a talisman paper and be done with it? The Nightfall Organization won't even know it was you who killed Fang Ren," Wang Cang said, puzzling over it.
"This involves luring the enemy deeper, although giving you the talisman paper is just to ensure your personal safety and a successful kill. We actually need you to show up in person, to tell the Nightfall Organization that it was you who killed Fang Ren.
Only when the Nightfall Organization comes after you for revenge can we kill more of their people," Sha Baihe explained, "Indeed, we could place the talisman paper, but who would the Nightfall Organization seek revenge from? And how would we lure the enemy deeper?"
"Leader Sha's considerations are really long-term... I was thinking too simplistically," Wang Cang nodded gravely.
"Alright, young man, I won't talk much more with you. Remember to communicate this matter with your father, and if you need to verify the truth of the incident, you can call this number anytime to reach me."
Having said this, Sha Baihe left a phone number and departed.
On the sofa, Wang Cang held the phone number, bursting with excitement. He hadn't anticipated that not only could he avenge his brother's death this time, but he could also get a promotion from Tianjiang.
If he managed to completely wipe out the Nightfall Organization, he would be a hero of great merit! His future prospects would indeed be boundless!
Why would he need to be a boss in this rundown little city then?
At this moment, downstairs at the clubhouse, Sha Baihe wore a sinister smile, turned back looking at the building and murmured coldly to himself, "For the great cause of the Second Master, I guess your family will have to make a sacrifice."
The Tianjiang Investigation Group? Arresting members of the Nightfall Organization? The cameras caught Fang Ren connected to the Nightfall Organization? Hah, ridiculous!
With the power of the Fang Family's right wing, would creating a fake identity for him be anything but trivial? As for the Nightfall Organization, well, they are just scapegoats.
Everything was just a lie fabricated to bring about Fang Ren's death.
