Chapter 135 Scapegoat
Yu Chucheng woke up in a dizzy state.
His head was dizzy, and the place on the side of his neck where the needle had pricked was red and swollen, and he felt a sharp pain as he twisted his neck.
Everything in front of his eyes was dark, his cheek was pressed against the cold ground, and the world seemed to be tilted in his eyes.
Here’s what happened…
Yu Chucheng's thoughts returned slowly.
He only remembered that he bought flowers and was on his way to a restaurant. It was about to rain, so he walked very fast and there were not many people on the road. As a result, a man wearing a mask and a hat suddenly jumped out from the alley on the street and grabbed him.
Everything happened so fast that before he could make a sound, the man pricked him with something like an anesthetic needle and he gradually lost consciousness.
Unfortunately, there was nothing important today, so Lin Qi and other assistants were not around.
Yu Chucheng moved his dry lips. Not having any water for a long time made his throat hurt as if it was being cut by a blade.
What time is it now? What should I do for dinner? And Duan Huaijin...
Before he could think too much, the world was spinning in front of his eyes and he was roughly pulled up. Only then did he realize that he had been tied to a chair, unable to move his hands and feet.
Yu Chucheng adjusted to the dark environment for a while and squinted his eyes to look around.
He appears to be in an abandoned warehouse.
The warehouse was very tall and filled with miscellaneous items. The tattered wooden boxes in the corners were covered with an inch-thick layer of dust.
"Mr. Yu, long time no see. How have you been recently?" Zhang Hanzhou walked out leisurely from behind Yu Chucheng, followed by a muscular man, who was the one who had attacked Yu Chucheng before.
Yu Chucheng calmly turned his wrist and quietly pulled out the blade sewn on the inside of his sleeve.
"What do you want to do? I don't think there's anything wrong with you."
Yu Chucheng suppressed the panic in his heart and appeared calm on the surface, but in fact his fingers were a little out of control.
Zhang Hanzhou raised his chin slightly and stared down at him with the attitude of a superior, "You really don't have any grudge against me, but Duan Huaijin does."
Zhang Hanzhou's eyes fell on Yu Chucheng's neck, staring at the necklace.
Suddenly, he stretched out his hand with a strange look on his face and directly pulled out the necklace. After seeing the ring hanging on the necklace, he looked mischievous, "Sure enough, it's hidden really well."
Yu Chucheng's eyes turned cold. Zhang Hanzhou held the necklace tightly. The silver chain cut into his flesh, causing him slight pain. "Let go."
Zhang Hanzhou has deeply sunken brow bones. He is obviously not Zhang Guangzhi's biological son, but his expression at this moment is exactly the same as Zhang Guangzhi's.
His brows were full of disgust, and he pulled it hard.
The necklace couldn't withstand such great force and broke directly. Yu Chucheng felt a numbness on the side of his neck, and a red and purple mark was immediately left on his fair skin.
"Give it back to me, you idiot!" Yu Chucheng struggled for a while and his body leaned forward involuntarily.
The professional thug next to Zhang Hanzhou pressed Yu Chucheng's chair hard to the ground.
Yu Chucheng gritted his teeth and increased the speed of cutting the hemp rope with the blade.
Zhang Hanzhou threw the ring on the ground. His anger and resentment turned into trampling. He stepped hard on the ring, and as if that was not enough, he crushed it hard with his heel.
Not far away, a pile of rag-like objects moved and let out a trembling "ouch".
Yu Chucheng's heart skipped a beat. Is there someone else?
He thought that the pile of things was useless waste, but he didn't expect it to be a person.
Duan Haixiang was injected with a large amount of anesthetic injections. At this moment, his body was still powerless and he had no idea of his current condition.
Zhang Hanzhou gave the thug a wink, and the thug took out an anesthetic needle cleaner from his bag and hit Duan Haixiang on the arm.
Zhang Hanzhou pinched Yu Chucheng's face and forced him to look at Duan Haixiang, "You should know him, right? Has he ever asked you for money?"
Yu Chucheng turned around and shook off Zhang Hanzhou's hand, "How did you know?"
Zhang Hanzhou curled his lips, "Because I let you do it." He lowered his head and looked at Yu Chucheng, "It must be uncomfortable to be entangled by such a scoundrel."
Yu Chucheng didn't say anything. He felt that Zhang Hanzhou's mind seemed a little abnormal. There was no light in his eyes, only darkness, like a thick fog that could not be dissolved.
"Let me make up a story for you." Zhang Hanzhou held the chair with one hand, tapping lightly with his fingertips. "A man owed a lot of gambling debts. He was chased by creditors all day and could hardly survive. But his son had a very rich boyfriend, so he wanted to ask him for money. Unexpectedly, he was rejected mercilessly."
"So he held a grudge against her, and finally one day, he found an opportunity and kidnapped the man, hoping to get more ransom from his family. But the man resisted too violently, and he accidentally stabbed him to death."
Yu Chucheng's body was trembling slightly.
"What do you think of my story?" Zhang Hanzhou was like a snake, constantly hissing in Yu Chucheng's ear. "In this case, do you think your brother will still support the son of his enemy?"
It turned out that Zhang Hanzhou wanted to kill him and then put the blame on Duan Haixiang, killing two birds with one stone.
A cold light flashed before Yu Chucheng's eyes. The muscular thug, wearing gloves, took out a fruit knife from his bag.
"It's ridiculous. How could Duan Haixiang be your scapegoat? As long as he denies it, the police will thoroughly investigate the truth, and you won't be able to escape then." The rope around his wrists was only half cut, and Yu Chucheng could only talk more to see if he could delay time.
Zhang Hanzhou chuckled, "Don't worry, the warehouse caught fire unexpectedly, and Duan Haixiang couldn't escape."
A thin layer of sweat appeared on Yu Chucheng's fingertips as he held the blade. His tongue seemed to be stuck to his upper palate. He was unable to speak, and his body seemed to be restrained by an invisible force.
Zhang Hanzhou actually wanted to deal with his biological father Duan Haixiang as well, as he was dead and there was no evidence to prove his guilt.
Yu Chucheng's hands and feet were cold, and his voice was trembling, but he still said, "You think Duan Haixiang is your scapegoat, but aren't you also Zhang Guangzhi's scapegoat?"
Zhang Hanzhou was stunned for a moment, then narrowed his eyes and stared at Yu Chucheng.
At this point, Yu Chucheng can only release some explosive information to continue delaying time.
The warehouse had no windows, so he wasn't sure how long he had been missing, or whether anyone could find him.
But he didn't want to die here with Duan Haixiang.
The rope that bound his hands was finally cut, and Yu Chucheng grabbed the broken rope with his backhand, "Zhang Hanzhou, you took the risk and did this just to protect your Zhang family's identity, didn't you?"
Zhang Hanzhou's pupils trembled, and he couldn't help but take a step back. "What nonsense are you talking about? What Zhang family identity? I am the only son of the Zhang family!"
Yu Chucheng moved his feet barely noticeably, but his feet were tied apart to the two legs of the chair and he had no way to break free.
"You know it clearly in your heart, but is there any point in deceiving yourself all the time? Even if you kill me today, what will happen? I'm not the only one who knows about this."
