"Yes."However, unexpectedly, as soon as Fang Bai finished speaking, Cheng Dihaou confessed honestly, spilling out the many illegal misdeeds he had once committed in one breath.heir veracity. We will not wrong a good person, but neither will we spare a criminal!"
Mayor Lu cast a disapproving glance at Shen Dongxing and said solemnly. His last words were decisive, leaving no room for argument, clearly showing his determination to get to the bottom of this.
Mayor Lu referred to him not as "Director Shen" but "Comrade Shen Dongxing," evidently distancing himself from Shen Dongxing.
In Mayor Luâs eyes, if what Cheng Dihaou said was true and Shen Dongxing was implicated, then Shen Dongxingâs career would be over, and he might even face imprisonment.
Shen Dongxing opened his mouth, wanting to say something more, but under Mayor Luâs stern gaze, he finally closed his mouth obediently. However, his flickering gaze revealed great inner turmoil.
"Enough!"
Fang Bai interrupted Cheng Dihaou, who was still endlessly confessing, and after a moment of thought, asked, "Be more specific about the crimes youâve committed. For example, the time, the place, the illegal acts youâve engaged in..."
The crimes Cheng Dihaou had committed were many and often unforgivable. If confirmed, they would be enough to cost him his life.
Thus, Cheng Dihaou began to detail the crimes he had committed. The audience, including many "Hunter" members, never expected this seemingly respectable Mr. Cheng to actually be a devil with hands drenched in blood.
For a time, everyone inside and outside the hall felt chills down their spines, terrified.
When they heard some of the serious crimes Cheng Dihaou confessed to involving Shen Dongxing, who had played a disgraceful role, many eyes turned towards Shen Dongxing at once.
"Mad dog! This guy is a mad dog, randomly biting people! Hu Biao, take this mad dog out for me, drag him to the police station, and lock him up!"
Shen Dongxing suddenly pointed at Cheng Dihaou, bellowing loudly. His face was flushed red, the veins on his neck stood out, bulging one after another. His gaze towards Cheng Dihaou was filled with venom and hatred, as if he yearned to rush forward and strangle Cheng Dihaou to death.
Without Mayor Luâs orders, Hu Biao certainly didnât dare to move, and moreover, Hu Biao realized that his superiorâs situation was becoming increasingly dire.
"If you have done no evil, you have nothing to fear from the ghosts knocking at your door. If Director Shen conducts himself with integrity, sits upright, and pure of heart, with a conscience free of guilt, why the need to hop about in such panic and confusion?"
Fang Bai glanced sidelong at Shen Dongxing, sneering as he spoke.
"Iâm panicking? Ha, why would I panic? I, Shen Dongxing, am upright and uncorrupted... Cheng Dihaou, this bastard, is simply slandering me!"
"Mr. Cheng, is there anything else you and Director Shen are involved in that canât bear the light of day? Tell us all about it, in detail!"
Before Shen Dongxing could finish his sentence, Fang Bai waved his hand to cut him off and continued to question Cheng Dihaou.
"Cheng Dihaou, youâd better think carefully before you speak!"
As soon as Fang Bai asked this question, Shen Dongxing immediately became anxious, his eyes fixed intently on Cheng Dihaou, his gaze sharp as arrows, filled with a deep warning.
Unexpectedly, Cheng Dihaou ignored his silent warning. Without rush, he revealed some of the behind-the-scenes dealings he had with Shen Dongxing.
For a moment, many in the hall looked at Shen Dongxing with eyes full of mockery, contempt, disdain, and even anger.
They had not anticipated Shen Dongxing to be so closely in collusion with someone like Cheng Dihaou, committing so many crimes.
The words came from Cheng Dihaouâs mouth, and coupled with Shen Dongxingâs ever-changing expressions and increasingly pale complexion, no one doubted the authenticity of these matters.
What puzzled people, however, was why Cheng Dihaou would publicly disclose these things. After all, it was of no benefit to him; it might even send himself to the guillotine. Could it be that he had suddenly realized his conscience and came to a repentance?
After Cheng Dihaou finished speaking, the hall fell into a dead silence, the atmosphere heavy and oppressive, as if a storm was about to break out.
Slapâ
Lu Xinghe suddenly slapped his hand on the tea table in front of him, causing several cups to jump, and tea splashed all over the place.
"Shen Dongxing, do you have anything to say?"
Lu Xinghe looked at Shen Dongxing coldly, his face ominously dark. If what Cheng Dihaou said was true, then even with the powerful backing of the Anxi Shen Family, Shen Dongxing couldnât escape the fate of imprisonment.
"Heâs talking nonsense! Slandering me! Utter nonsense! Mayor Lu, donât listen to this madman. How could I possibly break the law knowingly and commit these illegal and undisciplined acts?"
Shen Dongxing defended himself in an agitated and frantic manner.
Lu Xinghe snorted and said expressionlessly, "Of course, I wonât take sides without evidence! This matter is of great importance, and I will have it investigated."
After a pause, he continued, "The innocent shall clear themselves, and the guilty shall reveal themselves. If Cheng Dihaou is indeed talking nonsense, we will clear your name; if there is truth in Cheng Dihaouâs words, the law will see to your punishment!"
