297: Confess

Wang Cheng didn't return to the house for a long time, and calls wouldn’t get through to his phone. Even if he got a little lost, he couldn’t be delayed by over an hour, not to mention that they’d already driven that road many times. When Chu Yifeng realized something wasn’t right, he immediately called Xie Wenzhi. However, he was told Wang Cheng had immediately left after he was done working.

"Well? What happened? Do you think he went to buy something and took a wrong turn somewhere? Are you going to go and look for him now?"

Emily knew that her son regarded Wang Cheng as a treasure, and it was understandable for him to worry if he suddenly couldn’t contact him. However, she didn't think about this that much, and was quite startled when she walked up to her son and saw him clearly. Was the one wearing that murderous expression still her son? Even as his mother, it was her first time seeing him like this.

Chu Yifeng didn't answer her question, and left without looking back. Even Old Locke was alerted by his killing intent, and walked over with the help of his cane.

"What's wrong with Leon?"

Emily's glamorous face finally showed a hint of worry. "It seems like something has happened to Zhou Cheng. Dad, I suddenly have a bad premonition. Do you think something may have really happened?"

Old Locke was silent for a while, then said, "Don't worry blindly, things will be fine."

In the narrow room, the two burly men were tied to the corner of the bed with neckties. Although the short man and the man in the suit were not tied up, they were both huddled in the corner and did not dare to move, for fear of being beaten. They had thought that Wang Cheng would be easy to handle, who expected him to be so ruthless?

After dealing with the two stronger ones, Wang Cheng began to beat the two of them. No matter how much they begged for mercy, it was useless. The most terrifying part was that every punch Wang Cheng landed caused threshold-level pain. The man in the suit had also practiced a little martial arts, but in front of Wang Cheng, it wasn’t worth mentioning. Soon later, he was also forced to surrender. Both him and the short man were sweating all over, their hands and feet limp and lacking any strength. Even if Wang Cheng exposed his back towards them, they wouldn’t be able to stand up and attack him.

Wang Cheng looked at the discs scattered all over the floor. The discs had names on them, most likely the names of the people who were being filmed. Based on all the filming equipment, this should be a den for pornographic videos, or GVs, in which the starring actors or actresses may not have been willing participants.

"Where is my phone?" Wang Cheng threw the disc in his hand back on the ground, remembering that he had been missing for almost two hours. Chu Yifeng was probably looking for him everywhere by now, so he immediately questioned the man in the suit.

The man in the suit shivered almost subconsciously when he met his gaze, and it took him a moment to respond. When he noticed his worsening expression, he quickly answered, "I threw it, threw it away."

As he was bringing Wang Cheng over, the man in the suit took his phone and threw it out of the window, watching the phone shatter with his own eyes.

Wang Cheng narrowed his eyes.

The man in the suit was about to cry in fright, and trembled as he took out his cell phone. "You, you can use my cell phone."

Wang Cheng snorted coldly. Just as he picked up the phone, it began to ring. He glanced at the caller's name, and sure enough, it was Johanna - his guess was correct. This woman didn’t lack courage. However, she was still only a down-and-out aristocrat who dared to lay hands on him in Italy. She really was quite humble. Chu Yifeng most likely didn’t pay attention to Johanna’s actions from before because she attacked women around him who he didn’t really care about. Not only that, but he didn’t really take Johanna seriously.

As he was thinking of this, Wang Cheng answered the phone. Johanna's shrill voice came over from the other end. "Hans, how are things going?"

Wang Cheng was about to tell her the truth, when Johanna suddenly screamed, stimulating Wang Cheng's eardrums even across the radio waves. He thought Johanna had just found out he wasn’t Hans, but the next second, Johanna's voice rang out with a hint of unbelieving joy.

"Leon?"

As soon as Johanna’s voice fell, another one of her screams came over. This time, Wang Cheng was prepared and moved the phone away in advance, otherwise he would’ve been pierced by the ‘magical’ sound once more.

"Where is he?" Chu Yifeng's voice was a little muffled, but one could still hear the vicious chill in his voice, as if the frosty words that came from his mouth could freeze. Although it was almost summer, any listener would shiver from the cold.

"I don't know what you're talking about." Johanna's voice was hoarse, as if her neck was strangled. When she realized his intentions, her pupils shrank. At that moment, she profoundly realized that Chu Yifeng was serious about Wang Cheng. Otherwise, he wouldn’t immediately come to find her only two hours after Wang Cheng disappeared. Jealousy spread through her heart, just like wildly growing vines.

"I'll say it again, where is he?"

Johanna was so overcome by jealousy that she broke free from Chu Yifeng's restraints, or maybe he let go of his own accord. Violent coughs sounded from their side of the phone, turning into loud laughter: "I don't know. I’m warning you, you don’t want to find him. Even if you do end up finding him, I’m done with him, he’s ruined. What I can't have, no one else should expect to have either."

Johanna confessed. She had never been so deeply aware that she didn’t have a chance. Her personality was inherently extreme. Since Chu Yifeng was able to find her here, he must already know that she was the one who did it. After she thought of the consequences of angering him, Johanna simply broke the jar and confessed.

Chu Yifeng glowing red eyes stared at Johanna, they seemed to contain a fermenting vortex of anger. He could no longer control the strength in his hand. With a ‘crack’, Johanna's hand fractured, and her screams echoed throughout the empty house, coming especially clearly through the phone.

The consequence of angering Chu Yifeng was not just a fractured hand. The next moment, a new round of screams sounded again. This time, it might’ve been the other hand that was broken, or maybe a foot.

"Boss Chu..."

A quiet yet familiar voice suddenly sounded. Chu Yifeng, who had been stretching his claws to Johanna's other hand, suddenly stopped. He looked around for a while before his gaze finally landed on the mobile phone on the ground. Chu Yifeng threw Johanna out of the way as if she was a rag, and picked up her phone.

The phone was on speaker mode, maybe Johanna had accidentally touched the screen as she was struggling. Chu Yifeng recognized Hans as Johanna's loyal servant, and suddenly thought of a possibility.

"Wang Cheng, is that you?"

Wang Cheng's laughter came from the other end. "Of course it's me. Who do you think I am? Such little tricks can't beat me. My phone was thrown away, so I just wanted to call you to come and pick me up. Oh, I don't know where I am right now, wait a minute, I’ll ask." After asking for the address, Wang Cheng reported it to Chu Yifeng, who then told him not to hang up.

Wang Cheng was a little bored as he was waiting, when he suddenly had a flash of inspiration. He went over to pick up the small bottle that had fallen earlier. Most of it had spilled, but there was still a little bit left. He didn’t know if it would be useful or not, but he poured some water into it. After he shook the bottle a few times, he walked towards the man in the suit. Under his terrified gaze, he forcefully opened his mouth and poured the liquid in. After a few minutes, the man in the suit began to blush.

Seeing that it was useful, Wang Cheng smiled and said to the short man, "Don't you like to film this sort of thing? Today, I will let you experience the taste of being harrassed for yourself." After saying this, he looked towards the man in the suit, who began to pull on the short man's clothes, then walked out of the room while calling the local police.

The short man wasn’t as strong as the man in the suit, so now, he wasn’t as strong as the man in the suit who’d drunk aphrodisiac medicine. The sound insulation of the room was very good, and the screams inside could not be heard at all. They’d chosen this place as their stronghold for this reason.

Chu Yifeng was not slow. By the time Wang Cheng had just gotten off the stairs, and was walking out of the alley, a car jerked to a stop in front of him, startling him.

“You’re driving like this? At least stop a meter away from me."

Chu Yifeng didn't speak. He got out of the car and walked in front of Wang Cheng, looked him up and down to make sure he was okay, then suddenly took him into his arms. "Should I attach you to my belt next time?"

Wang Cheng grinned, resting his chin on Chu Yifeng’s shoulder. "Sure, but I'm afraid I'm too big. Would you like me to be cut into little pieces?"

"What am I supposed to do with a split corpse?"

Wang Cheng almost choked on his spit. "Damn, aren’t your tastes too heavy?"

Chu Yifeng finally laughed, "Not as heavy as your cut-up corpse."

At that moment, the police sirens came closer and once they arrived, the police entered the room from the other side. As soon as they rushed in, they saw quite the heavy scene. The short man had been stripped naked and his lower body was dripping with blood. He seemed to already be dying, but the man in the suit didn't care at all. After the police broke in, he continued his movements. The police were stunned for a moment, but when they saw that he wouldn’t stop, two policemen immediately walked over and pulled up the man in the suit, creating quite a strange scene.

However, the man in the suit was still under the effect of the medicine. When he realized that someone was obstructing him, he immediately began to scream and struggle. The police were unprepared, and accidentally allowed him to jump on the short man again. The police pulled him away, only to find that the man in the suit’s expression was a bit strange, as if he had taken a drug.

In the end, all four men in the room were taken away, and also some discs on the ground. The police later detected Wang Cheng's fingerprints on a disc. However, they did not determine that Wang Cheng was an accomplice, but a victim, though as a victim, he was quite tough.

Later on, Eimer came forward, and Wang Cheng's role in this case was directly erased. Even if someone looked at this case in the future, they would not know he was involved.
