Chapter 275 275: What a Masterful Mind Game!
Chen Xiao didn’t know how Zhu Mao, Chang Guan, or Lian Da filmed the video in front of him.
But from the angle of the video, it was clear that it was the figure of Li Jindao!
In the video, Li Jindao said with a smile:
“Is everything settled?”
Someone responded, maybe Zhu Mao, Chang Guan, or Lian Da: “Lin Xiaoqi is already dead.”
“Very well done!”
“President Li, can you fulfill the promise you made to us?”
“Of course I can, as long as you three listen to me, I will absolutely not mention the Luming Ridge Reservoir case to Xie Yan.”
“Alright, but President Li… what about the batch we talked about earlier?”
“Batch? What batch?”
“What do you mean by that, President Li? Are you trying to betray us?”
“It seems like you guys don’t want to listen to me anymore!” Li Jindao sneered.
The three of them, Lian Da included, said: “President Li, you should be well aware that if the batch doesn’t end up in our hands, all three of us will die!”
“Then go to hell! You guys are murderers; since ancient times, those who kill must pay with their lives. You must die!”
“Li Jindao, are you trying to go back on your word?!”
“Lian Da, as the leader among the three of you, you should understand the situation. I won’t give you the batch; whether you live or die has nothing to do with me. I only needed you to help me eliminate Lin Xiaoqi, just to cover up Luming Ridge.”
“Aren’t you afraid that we three will perish together with you, Li Jindao?”
Li Jindao laughed heartily: “Just you three? Perish together with me? Hahaha… you can try if you dare, but I hope you can withstand the consequences of offending me!”
Lian Da and the others remained silent, while Li Jindao laughed loudly and left.
The video was still playing at this point.
But the truth was now completely clear!
It was all Li Jindao’s doing.
There was no so-called big shot!
A line-informant walking between the black and white worlds was stirring up the storm!
Was this informant ordinary?
He was anything but ordinary!
This was an informant who constantly used his wits!
He simultaneously used Xie Yan to achieve his goals while forcing everyone who knew his secrets to their demise with the most cunning methods.
This was a fox who could use countless tricks to confuse people!
Even his beloved wife ultimately became a tool he used!
Gu Rong probably believes to this day that Li Jindao already ceased smuggling many years ago.
Gu Rong probably hasn’t suspected yet, that Li Jindao was using her to minimize his chances of becoming a suspect!
As for substituting for his wife’s crime.
Looking at it now, it’s akin to a joke!
When the video ended, Chen Xiao glanced at Qin Fei.
The latter understood the meaning and said, “I’ll send someone to bring Li Jindao from the detention center right now.”
“Hmm, but be careful on the road; Li Jindao is very capable!”
“Don’t worry about it.”
Qin Fei spoke as he left with his people.
Chen Xiao breathed a sigh of relief and couldn’t help but take out his phone.
Though he hesitated about notifying Xie Wensheng now.
Ultimately, Chen Xiao didn’t dial Xie Wensheng’s number, feeling it wasn’t the right time to talk to him.
Silently waiting.
Half an hour later, Qin Fei called to say the person had been brought to the interrogation room.
Chen Xiao stood and looked at Lin Xi, asking, “Do you want to come along?”
Lin Xi shook her head: “The case is already clear, I’ll wait for you in the lounge.”
“Alright.”
Chen Xiao didn’t say much else, and walked alone toward the interrogation room.
When the door opened, Qin Fei was already seated inside.
Li Jindao was constantly probing his intentions, but Qin Fei remained silent.
Upon seeing Chen Xiao, Li Jindao narrowed his eyes slightly, then smiled:
“Advisor Chen, we meet again.”
Chen Xiao nodded: “I have a question for you.”
“Okay, go ahead. But I’m curious, why bring me here in the middle of the night?”
“Whether or not it’s necessary, I think you’re clearer about it than I am. Alright, Li Jindao, in your heart, what is the status of your wife and child?”
Li Jindao’s eyes now showed caution, but he carefully replied:
“Haven’t I expressed this already? For my wife, my child, I am willing to give everything!”
Chen Xiao laughed: “So when your wife forced Lian Yuhong to die, oh no… accurately speaking, when your son got together with Lian Da’s daughter, did you already foresee this outcome?”
Li Jindao squinted his eyes and smiled: “Advisor Chen, are you treating me like a myth, knowing everything in advance?”
“Enough, I’ve told you to stop pretending. If I hadn’t found solid evidence, do you think I would come looking for you in the middle of the night?”
When Chen Xiao’s words fell, Li Jindao also fell silent.
He didn’t avoid Chen Xiao’s scrutinizing gaze.
After a few more seconds, Li Jindao smiled bitterly: “I don’t know what evidence Advisor Chen is talking about, but I know I have no evidence, yet I can clearly feel that Advisor Chen still wants to extract something from me.”
Qin Fei also chuckled: “Advisor Chen, it seems some people really don’t give up until they reach the end.”
“Then let him see it.”
Li Jindao frowned, Qin Fei played the video.
When Li Jindao’s voice appeared in the video, he was stunned, then his expression changed dramatically.
Sometimes looking at the video, sometimes looking at Qin Fei, he finally locked his gaze on Chen Xiao.
“Jin Bao, do you have anything to say now?”
Chen Xiao asked, while Li Jindao kept taking deep breaths.
A few seconds later, Li Jindao’s breathing grew clearer.
Chen Xiao tapped his fingers on the table, saying: “You’re Jin Bao, also Xie Yan’s informant. You’ve met Cao Chan, the daughter of Li Qian, the deceased in the Luming Ridge case. You used the Luming Ridge case to hold Lian Da’s three people’s handle.”
“Like how Xie Yan initially controlled you, only Xie Yan controlled you to investigate the case, while you created the case!”
“Lian Da and the other two helped you remove Lin Xiaoqi, thus allowing you to seize the market and resources in the first instance to the greatest extent, but Lian Da and the other two knew too much, they couldn’t continue living in this world, so you learned about Cao Chan through Xie Yan.”
“With this, you repeatedly borrowed the knife, finally forcing Lian Da and the other two to their death as well.”
“Yet before you is one person causing you a headache, that person is Xie Yan. Thus, only when Xie Yan is dead can you completely eliminate future worries.”
“Then Cao Chan once again became your weapon, you transmitted information to Xie Yan using your status as an informant. Because he trusted you deeply, he practically believed your transmitted clues without doubt.”
“So, when he learned he handled the Lin Xiaoqi case wrongly, he couldn’t accept the fact he forced that driver to death. In the end, you told him the truth that Lian Da and the other two were the real culprits in Luming Ridge case, and Cao Chan was the culprit who forced them to death, and Xie Yan who had insisted on principles his whole life, completely collapsed!”
“Li Jindao, you played a good psychological game!”
