CHAPTER 242: 240, LUOFENG IS TOO SCARY! THE THREE BROTHERS ARE SHIVERING IN FEAR!

"We have to turn ourselves in!"

「Meanwhile, at a certain police station.」

Three men, dressed like petty thugs, walked in, their faces etched with panic.

"Huh? What are you three doing here?"

A male officer stared at them, somewhat dumbfounded.

"We’re turning ourselves in! We’ve committed a crime! Please, we beg you, help us!"

The officer was even more baffled. What is this? Did these guys drink counterfeit alcohol? Are they here to play a prank?

"I’m warning you, causing a disturbance like this is not permissible... you’ll be detained..."

The male officer hadn’t finished speaking when the men shouted.

"Quick, hurry up and detain us!"

"Excellent! If we’re detained, we’ll be saved!"

The male officer was completely baffled again. What in the world is going on? Are they on drugs?

"First, take them for a drug test. And check if there’s something mentally wrong with them."

The male officer made a phone call. Soon, seven or eight of his colleagues arrived and immediately took the men into custody. The men, however, were entirely cooperative.

However, a quick examination revealed that there was nothing wrong with the three men, mentally or otherwise. But when questioned about what happened, it turned out the three were connected to today’s car accident?

"Names, ages, occupations! Introduce yourselves!"

"Mao Biao, is it? Eighteen years old? Unemployed?"

"And you’re Mao Long? Also unemployed? Twenty years old?"

Li Zheng was in charge of that day’s car accident case, so he was the one interrogating them.

"What’s your relationship?" Li Zheng asked.

"We’re brothers!" Mao Biao replied. "I’m the younger one, he’s my older brother."

"Tell me about yourself," Li Zheng said, looking at the third man.

"My name is Lin Xing, 21 years old. I work at a motorcycle modification shop," Lin Xing stated.

"Oh? So why do you want to turn yourselves in?" Li Zheng asked.

"If we tell you, can you protect us?" Lin Xing asked, his voice tinged with fear.

"Protecting you is our duty, but punishing and educating you is also our responsibility!" Li Zheng stated firmly.

"Alright then. Can we ask if Wu Yufan from West Mountain has... met with an accident?" Mao Biao asked.

"Oh? How would you know that?" Li Zheng’s eyes lit up at this. The case involving Luofeng seemed impenetrable. Could this be a breakthrough?

"We called him over ten times earlier, but he didn’t answer. Plus, we noticed we were being followed, so we figured something was wrong," Mao Biao explained.

"Oh? You know Wu Yufan?" Li Zheng pressed.

"We want to know what exactly happened to Wu Yufan!" Mao Biao demanded. "If you tell us the details, we’ll tell you everything."

"Well..." Li Zheng hesitated, considering his options.

"Actually, even if you don’t say it, we’ve already guessed. Wu Yufan is probably dead!" Mao Biao declared when Li Zheng remained silent.

"Oh? And why do you suspect that?" Li Zheng asked, curious.

"It’s obvious, isn’t it? Wu Yufan was trying to harm someone. He must have been found out, so that person retaliated and dealt with him," Mao Biao replied.

"Heh, you’re not wrong. He died in a car accident," Li Zheng confirmed.

"He was hit by a Ferrari 812, wasn’t he?" Mao Biao pressed.

"Don’t ask so many questions. Tell me about your involvement," Li Zheng countered.

"We met Wu Yufan at a mountain motorcycling event. He was very generous with his money, so we quickly became friends."

"But today, just after six in the morning, while it was still dark, he secretly approached us. He offered us 1.5 million to run someone over and kill them."

As Mao Biao finished, Li Zheng pulled out a photo. "This person?"

"Yeah, that’s him!" Mao Biao nodded. "He’s staying at Qunjing Apartment. Wu Yufan gave us some information, including details about his Ferrari 812! As things stand, Wu Yufan failed to kill his target. Instead, the target found out. We’re worried they’ll trace things back to us, and then we’ll be screwed!"

Li Zheng clarified, "So, you’re admitting to attempted kidnapping and murder? Which means it was unsuccessful?"

"What choice do we have but to confess? It’s better than being killed, isn’t it?" Mao Biao retorted. "We already told you, we’re being followed! We don’t want to end up like Wu Fanyu!"

"I suspect Luofeng did it!" Mao Long interjected.

"Oh? Do you have any evidence?" Li Zheng asked, his curiosity piqued.

"We don’t even know Luofeng!" Mao Biao shook his head. "We were just planning to help Wu Fanyu kill Luofeng!"

Sigh... Li Zheng was rather speechless. It seemed these three couldn’t offer much help after all.

Actually, what made the situation even more impenetrable was that Luofeng himself knew nothing about any of this. It was Zhongyi Tang that knew Wu Yufan didn’t just want revenge on Luofeng; he wanted Luofeng dead. And according to Zhongyi Tang’s principles, they would definitely eliminate such a threat directly.

Honestly, if Luofeng were truly exposed, the System would be to blame. However, Luofeng had great confidence in the System’s methods.

"So, do you have any evidence to prove your claims?" Li Zheng inquired.

Mao Biao replied, "When Wu Yufan first hired us, we were afraid he’d go back on his word, so we recorded a video! There’s still a backup on the phone."

The video clearly and completely recorded the entire process of Wu Yufan conspiring with Mao Biao and his two companions.

"You mentioned earlier that you were being followed. Tell me more details," Li Zheng pressed on.

He planned to investigate these alleged trackers. If they could be caught, perhaps it could lead them to Luofeng. But...

The locations Mao Biao and the others provided where they were supposedly followed yielded no clues from surveillance footage. Were the three of them lying? Or were the trackers so skilled that they completely evaded all surveillance cameras?

Upon deeper investigation, Li Zheng discovered something even more terrifying. It wasn’t that the surveillance in those areas hadn’t captured the trackers, but that the footage itself had been directly tampered with.

This realization made Li Zheng break out in a cold sweat. One could say that all motives pointed towards Luofeng, yet they had absolutely no way to touch him? How am I supposed to investigate this!

Honestly, Li Zheng was about to lose his mind.

From a moral standpoint, Wu Yufan had brought this entirely upon himself. But from a legal standpoint...

Legally, Luofeng’s security company would be the one to take the fall, because Luofeng himself had never explicitly ordered the target to be killed. He had merely instructed them to investigate what Wu Yufan was plotting against him and to ensure his own safety at all costs.

So, was the best way to ensure his safety to make the danger disappear entirely?
