Chapter 363: It’s Definitely Not Yours

“Hahahaha… Hahahaha…”

Zhang Qingsong suddenly burst into laughter, as if he’d gone mad.

“Yes! It was me. So what? If it weren’t for that treacherous wench Zhou Shuang betraying me, Xu Shaochen, I would have made you suffer greatly!”

Zhang Qingsong’s eyes were bloodshot, his face twisted with anger as he glared at Xu Shaochen, growling through gritted teeth. He looked completely deranged.

Xu Shaochen shook his head. Zhang Qingsong still thought it was Zhou Shuang who had betrayed him, but in reality, Xu had just stumbled upon this information by chance.

“Shaking your head? What does that mean? Sympathy? I don’t need your pity!”

Zhang Qingsong sneered coldly.

“Slap!”

Xu Shaochen raised his hand and slapped Zhang Qingsong across the face. “Sympathy? I never pity a dog. I just lament your stupidity and ignorance.”

“You…” Zhang Qingsong’s face alternated between pale and flushed as he glared at Xu Shaochen with rage.

Xu Shaochen sighed, a hint of mockery flashing in his eyes as he said, “Fine. In honor of our past as classmates, I’ll give you one last chance to live.”

“Hmph! Xu Shaochen, stop pretending. I’d like to see what trick you’re playing!” Zhang Qingsong initially looked at Xu Shaochen with suspicion, then sneered dismissively.

Xu Shaochen didn’t bother explaining. He waved his hand. “Take his phone and let him go.”

Long Yi forcibly took Zhang Qingsong’s phone and then released him, but as Zhang wasn’t paying attention, he slipped a bank card into his pocket.

Long Yi moved quickly and discreetly. Zhang Qingsong, distracted, didn’t notice this at all.

But this small action would cost him dearly.

Zhang Qingsong, seeing Long Yi and Long Er actually let him go, found it hard to believe. He couldn’t figure out what Xu Shaochen was planning.

However, it was clear that leaving this place was the top priority.

Zhang Qingsong glanced at Xu Shaochen, cautiously opened the door, saw that Xu Shaochen remained indifferent, and then suddenly sped up and ran out.

He didn’t even wait for the elevator, opting to run down the stairs instead.

As he ran, his heart filled with joy, he could hardly contain the urge to scream in triumph.

Xu Shaochen, oh Xu Shaochen.

Letting me go today will be the biggest mistake of your life.

You think I’ll be grateful? No. I’ll make sure you die miserably, without a place to be buried!

Hahahahaha…

Zhang Qingsong cackled silently in his heart, his previously limping leg suddenly becoming incredibly agile.

In the living room.

Xu Shaochen took out his phone and dialed a number, speaking calmly: “Hello, is this the police? My name is Xu Shaochen. I’d like to report a robbery. Someone robbed me at knifepoint and stole a bank card with 20 million in it. The robber forced me to write the PIN on the card. He’s now…”

He originally wanted to just kill Zhang Qingsong to settle things once and for all.

After all, he’d spared him twice already, but instead of being grateful, Zhang Qingsong had constantly tried to kill him. Such a dangerous person was better off dead.

However, Chen Jing and Zhao Rongyao’s recent affairs had reminded him to be more cautious during turbulent times like these. Using such blunt methods could backfire disastrously if he got careless.

So, as a favor, he’d just send Zhang Qingsong to prison, and in a week or two, he’d conveniently “die” in prison.

As for any loopholes in the report, those were irrelevant.

What mattered was that the person reporting was Xu Shaochen—the only heir to Xu Corporation, Xu Shaochen.

And Zhang Qingsong did indeed have a bank card with 20 million in it. He was indeed in the middle of trying to flee.

These three facts were enough.

“Let’s go. Let’s watch our old classmate’s final moments together.”

Xu Shaochen casually said as he walked out onto the living room balcony.

From here, overlooking the area, he could see the compound’s main gate perfectly.

……….

Zhang Qingsong sprinted the whole way down from the tenth floor, his face drenched with sweat.

Catching his breath, a cold gleam flashed in Zhang Qingsong’s eyes as he muttered chillingly, “Xu Shaochen, next time, I’ll make sure no one can recognize your corpse.”

With that, Zhang Qingsong began walking step by step toward the compound’s main gate.

“Mighty~ Mighty~”

At that moment, along with the sound of police sirens, a police car pulled up.

Zhang Qingsong didn’t pay much attention to it, thinking it had nothing to do with him. He was focused on escaping.

“Don’t move! Hands on your head! Crouch down!”

As soon as the police car stopped, several officers jumped out, surrounding Zhang Qingsong.

“You… What do you mean by this?”

Zhang Qingsong was confused, but before he could fully grasp what was happening, two officers had already wrestled him to the ground and cuffed him.

“What are you doing? Let me go! You’ve got the wrong person! You’ve got the wrong guy!”

Only now did Zhang Qingsong realize what was happening, and he quickly started struggling and shouting. True, he had planned to kill Xu Shaochen, but he hadn’t succeeded yet! However, none of the officers paid him any mind. One reached into Zhang Qingsong’s pocket and pulled out a bank card, all while Zhang stared in disbelief.

“Captain, the stolen item is indeed on him.”

The officer handed the bank card to the lead officer.

“Zhang Qingsong, you’re now under suspicion of armed robbery, involving significant amounts and exhibiting egregious behavior. You’re coming with us for an investigation.”

Hearing the unfeeling voice, Zhang Qingsong froze, as if struck by lightning. He now realized that Xu Shaochen had set him up.

“I’m innocent! I’m innocent! This card isn’t mine! It’s not mine!”

“Of course, it isn’t yours. You stole it from someone else.” An officer rolled his eyes, thinking, seriously? Robbers these days were so brazen.

Zhang Qingsong: “………”

This entire scene was observed by Xu Shaochen from above. He smiled and waved at Mei Liangxin.

“Xu Shaochen, you son of a…!”

Seeing this, Zhang Qingsong suddenly lashed out, but only for a moment before being restrained and dragged into the police car.

“Let’s go. As the victim, I still need to go and give a statement to assist with the investigation.”

Xu Shaochen said calmly, then he turned and headed downstairs with Long Yi and Long Er.

At the police station, Xu Shaochen first expressed his thanks, then actively cooperated with the police investigation.

The evidence was overwhelming, leaving Zhang Qingsong with no way to defend himself.

After all, he’d prepared multiple passports and fake IDs, frequently traveled in and out of Jiangzhou City, had Xu Shaochen’s card on him, and was clearly attempting to flee. What could he say to explain any of that?

On reflection, being charged with robbery was probably better than being charged with attempted murder.

So Zhang Qingsong didn’t bother defending himself.

At most, he’d end up in jail. As long as he had a chance to get out, he’d kill Xu Shaochen one day.

Unfortunately, once inside, Xu Shaochen had no intention of letting him leave alive.
