Chapter 88 The Rat Crossing the Street
Chen Yan: [They said this guy is the mayor's son. I can't afford to offend him. If I insist on continuing the investigation, I should consider the safety of those around me.]
Chen Yan: [I knew he wasn't kidding me. It's easy for those high-ranking officials to quietly kill an ordinary person, so I had to compromise and delete the video and release the apology video.]
Chen Yan: [He wasn't mentioned in the suspicious death videos I found, because I never imagined that a high school student would be so cruel to small animals.]
Li Zhi: [The human heart is the most unpredictable. Many psychopaths and twisted people will get a special pleasure from killing small animals. This has nothing to do with age.]
Chen Yan: [Yes, you are right.]
Li Zhi: [Don't worry, he's just the mayor's son. I will help you get justice, so your kitten can leave peacefully and be reincarnated.]
Seeing her relaxed tone, Chen Yan knew that the people on her side must be more powerful than the mayor, and he couldn't help but feel relieved. [Master Li, thank you for your help.]
Li Zhi: [It's okay. I'll go take care of your matter first. See you tomorrow morning at 10 o'clock.]
Chen Yan: [Okay, thank you, Master Li.]
Li Zhi exited Yinfu, opened WeChat, clicked into the chat interface with Xie Tingzhou, tapped the screen with her slender fingers, and sent him a message.
[I found out it's the mayor's son.]
Xie Tingzhou: [Okay, leave it to me.]
Li Zhi: [OK.]
......
"Kongkong died from accidentally eating a small rodent. Car accidents, poisoning, and cruelty have all been ruled out. The cat's death has nothing to do with anyone else. As its owner, I didn't take good care of it. I'm sorry..."
Chen Yan’s apology statement kept playing on the phone.
After listening to it countless times, Cheng Zhe finally swiped away the video and clicked into his phone's photo album.
The screen is full of bloody videos of torturing and killing different kittens.
He casually clicked on the latest video, and the kitten in the video was Chen Yan's Kong Kong.
Kong Kong fell to the ground, his body twitching violently, foaming at the mouth, and he died in a few seconds.
"Tsk, that's the most comfortable way to die."
After admiring his own masterpiece, Cheng Zhe slowly put down his phone, took off his black-framed glasses, leaned back in his chair, tapped the table rhythmically with his fingers, and hummed a little tune.
At this moment, there was a sudden knock on the door of the room.
Cheng Zhe paused tapping the table, his brows slightly furrowed, clearly displeased at being disturbed.
He stood up from the chair, walked to the door, stopped, and reached out to open it.
When he saw who was standing outside the door, he was slightly stunned. Obviously, he didn't expect the other party to knock on his door at this time.
Don’t you have a dinner party tonight? Why are you back so soon?
Cheng Zhe came back to his senses, lowered his eyebrows, and called out respectfully, "Dad."
Cheng Sheng's face was terribly gloomy. He raised his hand and slapped him hard in the face. "Look at what you've done!"
He received the news halfway through his meal and rushed back.
I never expected that the matter that was about to be settled would be intervened by the prince of the Xie family at this time.
How could Xie Tingzhou care about such a trivial matter?
Could it be that Chen Yan asked him for help?
But Chen Yan is just an ordinary person, just a little-known internet celebrity. How could he possibly be connected to Xie Tingzhou? It's impossible to think about it.
It can't be that the guy is a fan of Chen Yan and that's why he helped?
Apart from this reason, Cheng Sheng could not think of any other.
Now Xie Tingzhou gave him one day, asking him to release the surveillance video, let his son publicly admit online that he did it, and also to apologize to Chen Yan in person and compensate him.
Otherwise, he would do it himself. With his status and position, it would be easy for him to get the surveillance.
Cheng Zhe was a little confused. He poked the side of his face that had been hit with his tongue, then looked up at Cheng Sheng and asked, "What's wrong, Dad?"
"What's wrong? How dare you ask?" Cheng Sheng said as he raised his hand and slapped him on the other side of the face, his eyes looking as if he wanted to beat him to death.
Not satisfied with the slap, he started kicking.
Hearing the noise, Cheng's mother came out of the room and her face suddenly changed when she saw the situation. "Husband, what are you doing!"
She ran over and grabbed him, "What's wrong with you? Why are you hitting the child all of a sudden?"
Cheng Sheng stopped and turned to look at her. His temples were throbbing with anger. He raised his finger and pointed at Cheng Zhe on the ground, "This is the good son you raised. He has ruined me!"
Mother Cheng let go of him, bent down and helped Cheng Zhe up from the ground, and patted the dust off his body. "What's the matter? What happened? Can't you just talk it out peacefully? Why do you have to hit him?"
Cheng Zhe coughed and asked, "Dad, what did I do wrong again?"
"It's about that cat!" Cheng Sheng didn't know that Cheng Zhe usually had a hobby of killing small animals. "I really don't understand why you have to pick on a broken cat. You've really hurt me now. Do you know how many people are watching my position?"
Cheng Zhe frowned, not understanding, "Isn't this matter over?"
Cheng Sheng was nearly mad with rage, his back teeth nearly breaking, and he could barely control the trembling muscles in his cheeks. "You still want to end it like this? Chen Yan has found someone, and this won't end until the truth is revealed!"
Cheng Zhe's eyes flashed with surprise, "Who did he look for?"
"Thank you for stopping the boat." Cheng Sheng replied.
"What?" Mother Cheng's eyes were filled with disbelief. "How could someone like Chen Yan possibly know Xie Tingzhou? Are you sure?"
Cheng Zhe's expression was a little surprised. He naturally knew the prince of the Xie family. He didn't say anything. It was obvious that his mother had said everything he wanted to say.
"How could I have made a mistake with such a serious matter?" Cheng Sheng pressed his brow in pain and said to Cheng Zhe, "Xie Tingzhou has now issued a death order. He orders you to release the surveillance video within one day. He orders you to show your face and film an online video publicly admitting that you did it. You must also describe how you killed the cat, and you must apologize to Chen Yan in person and compensate him."
Cheng Zhe lost his composure and looked panicked. He didn't want to become a rat that everyone wanted to beat. "No, Dad, if I really do this, how can I go out and see people in the future?"
"Yes, husband, is there no other way? If this matter gets out, Xiaozhe will be ruined in the future. How can he live his life?" Cheng's mother echoed.
Cheng Sheng's eyes were sharp, and his tone brooked no argument: "This is not your decision. If you can't stay in China, then get out of here!"
