Ning Zhiheng narrowed his eyes: "This is like refusing to accept a toast only to be forced to drink a forfeit. You still say you don't know the Zuo siblings, but you ordered them to search for the jade jewel and the family crest seal. Can you deny that? Aren't the Zuo brothers your bodyguards? This matter will be clear once it's investigated. You can't just say you don't know them."
At this point, Ning Zhiheng stopped arguing with him and said to Lao Liao, "Please let Boss Dai experience your methods and wake him up so he won't spout nonsense!"
Old Liao nodded in agreement, and immediately several dark-colored instruments of torture were laid out. The bloodstains on them had not been wiped dry, giving off a sinister and terrifying aura. Old Liao and several prison guards walked towards Dai Dajiang with ferocious expressions on their faces!
"No, don't do it! I'll talk, I'll talk, but it really has nothing to do with me!" Dai Daguang knew he wouldn't make it through the day just by looking at the instruments of torture.
He had experienced the horrors of these instruments of torture before. He had initially thought himself a tough guy, but when the instruments were applied to his body, the excruciating pain was unbearable! He absolutely never wanted to endure that kind of pain again!
“I did arrange for the Zuo brothers to find two jade artifacts, but I really didn’t order them to kill and dispose of the body, or to assassinate their superior! This was entirely their own doing, their audacity. They should be held accountable for all of this, but it has nothing to do with me!” Dai Daguang argued.
As he said this, in the adjacent room, which was separated from the interrogation room by only one door, the Zuo siblings, who were wearing handcuffs and shackles, changed their expressions. Brother Dai, who had served him for many years and called him brother every day, and whom he relied on as his elder brother, did not hesitate for a moment at this critical moment of life and death, and casually threw them away like wiping tablecloths.
The feeling of being betrayed was like a poisoned awl piercing their hearts, causing them excruciating pain!
Those who betray you are indeed the ones you trust! Once trust is broken, no amount of mending can repair it!
This was arranged by Ning Zhiheng. When the interrogation began, he had Lao Liao bring the three Zuo siblings to this house. Then, during the interrogation, he deliberately exaggerated the seriousness of the Zuo siblings' behavior. He was certain that a ruthless gangster like Dai Dajiang would not uphold morality in a life-or-death situation, and would naturally shift the blame onto the Zuo siblings.
This will eliminate the Zuo siblings' idea of being scapegoats. When the time comes, as long as I show a little intention to recruit them, I believe that as long as they are not fools, the Zuo siblings should know what to do!
"That bastard! My siblings and I risked our lives for him, and now we're in this mess. And he just says it has nothing to do with him? I must have been blind to have misjudged him!" Zuo Qiang said through gritted teeth.
"Forget it, he wasn't wrong. He only asked us to find the jade, not to kill or assassinate. He saved my life, so I'll return it to him this time. Let's call it even and be even! It's just that you've been dragged into this!" Zuo Gang's face showed a trace of pain and helplessness. Although he was indifferent to life and ruthless in his actions, he valued integrity above all else, especially towards those around him.
"Nonsense! He didn't order us to kill anyone, but he also wouldn't let us alert the police or expose our whereabouts. Could we possibly avoid taking drastic measures and killing to cover it up? Haven't we, his siblings, killed enough people for him? That bastard!" Zuo Rou cursed through gritted teeth. "Brother, that Commander Ning said that as long as we atone for our crimes, he could let bygones be bygones and even close the case for us. We're not without a way to survive!"
Zuo Rou's words immediately lifted Zuo Gang and Zuo Qiang's spirits. She was right; they weren't without options! That Commander Ning was clearly a powerful figure. If the three of them were willing to bow down to him and serve him, their murder case could be wiped clean. As for Dai Daguang, they would naturally cut off all ties with him. They would be grateful if he didn't cause him any trouble.
Besides, refusing to bow to that Commander Ning meant certain death. Who in this world isn't afraid of death? As the saying goes, nothing is more important than life and death. The fear of death is human nature, and there's nothing shameful about it. The Zuo siblings were no exception; they certainly knew what choice to make!
The Zuo siblings were already thinking things over and had secretly made up their minds. They were just waiting for Ning Zhiheng to recruit them!
