    Chapter 468: Sometimes Lies Can Become True (Update 1)

    Before Leaving the Hospital.

    Xiao Yu told Gong Hongyun, “When I slap you, don’t cry out in pain!”

    Even with his eyes bandaged, Gong Hongyun’s face still followed in the direction Xiao Yu was leaving.

    His expression had once again returned to calm as the police handcuffed him.

    You could even spot a slight… smile on his face!

    Outside the Hospital.

    “Master, he’s clearly lying!”

    Wang Cheng looked furious.

    “That’s right.”

    Xiao Yu’s expression turned enigmatic. “Who says you can’t kill without a gun?”

    That joke seems to never grow old.

    Wang Cheng: ( ̄□ ̄)

    Master, what is he even saying?

    “Let me put it more bluntly.”

    Xiao Yu said seriously, “Who said that lies can’t sometimes be taken as truth?”

    Wang Cheng was completely at a loss.

    Lies… can really become true?

    “I once encountered a case just like this.”

    It was in a previous life… Xiao Yu walked toward the police car, his expression composed. “Someone called the police after discovering a decaying female corpse.”

    “When the police arrived, the forensic exam revealed that the woman had first been brutally assaulted, humiliated, violated, and bound, and then suffocated by a transparent plastic bag placed over her head.”

    “Later, the police recovered surveillance footage from the scene.”

    “Oddly enough, the recording opens with the victim lying on the ground at the brink of death and continues until the end. It’s as if the moment of her murder had been completely cut out.”

    “It felt like the murderer had deliberately filmed her final struggle, just to display it to others.”

    “Subsequently, the police discovered the murderer’s bodily fluids on the victim and arrested the culprit… her ex-husband.”

    “With such solid evidence, the case should have been unassailable, yet… the ex-husband refused to admit anything.”

    “But what use is denial? The evidence clearly shows that if you hadn’t assaulted her, his bodily fluids wouldn’t be there, right?”

    “Just when the ex-husband was sentenced to death and his execution imminent, a police officer noticed something off and re-opened the entire investigation…”

    At this point, Xiao Yu turned to his apprentice. “Can you guess how it ended?”

    “The victim’s ex-husband was executed?”

    Wang Cheng replied confidently.

    After all, evidence of bodily fluids and assault is irrefutable.

    A simple, clear truth.

    If he hadn’t touched her, how would such evidence have been left behind?

    “Young.”

    Pointing to his head, Xiao Yu scoffed, “Since I asked you to guess, that’s a hint that the case took a twist. The victim’s ex-husband… was acquitted!”

    “That’s impossible!” Wang Cheng cried out.

    His mind spun in an instant.

    How could this possibly be?

    The evidence was rock-solid—so why was he found not guilty?

    Could it be that her ex-husband hadn’t assaulted her after all?

    If not, how else could his bodily fluids ended up on her?

    “I already told you,”

    Xiao Yu said with a hint of sarcasm, “Who said that lies can’t sometimes be taken as truth… The victim committed suicide!”

    “Su… suicide?”

    Wang Cheng was dumbfounded, rendered speechless.

    “Yes, suicide.”

    Xiao Yu sneered coldly, “Who would have thought someone could be so ruthless as to lie with their life?”

    “She staged the entire scene, all to make her ex-husband suffer—to ensure he would never catch a break…”

    “Investigations revealed that during their five-year marriage, she frequently abused him—even though he endured it all.”

    “This created an illusion: that he was nothing more than her slave, entirely at her mercy.”

    “But she never considered that he suffered it all out of love. Yet even love has its limits.”

    “When she betrayed him and he discovered her infidelity—and was even caught red-handed at a hotel…”

    “His love shattered completely. Without further ado, regardless of her agreement, he filed for divorce.”

    “Unable to bear being abandoned, she had grown accustomed to having a slave by her side, even a lackey.”

    “And only that slave would tolerate and adore her—who else would put up with her numerous flaws?”

    “Some people are inherently selfish, never considering their own mistakes and always blaming others.”

    “It’s precisely these kinds of people who are the most despicable.”

    “Just like those revolting comments that frequently appear online.”

    “Talking as if facts don’t matter—if it weren’t for you indulging her so much, you wouldn’t be in this predicament, would you?”

    “And what else? She simply made the mistake every woman sometimes makes…”

    “In short, this woman never felt any fault in her actions, displaying a level of selfishness to the extreme.”

    “Unfortunately, she will never understand that once a man lets go completely, he never looks back.”

    “Her ex-husband went on to build a new life, found a new girlfriend, and was about to get married.”

    “Then… the woman became furious, feeling as if what was rightfully hers had been stolen.”

    “She considered him trash—a scumbag, a playboy who never cared—betraying her from start to finish…”

    “With her warped perspective and inability to tolerate his perceived betrayal, she devised a vicious plan.”

    “One day, she deliberately arranged a calm meeting with her ex-husband, telling him she had completely come to terms with everything, proposing that they remain friends. Then she took him out for one final meal… a farewell dinner!”

    “During that dinner, she got him drunk and brought him home… deliberately coating his hands with grease, then using his fingerprints on a rope, and even collecting his bodily fluids.”

    “Using some bizarre method, she preserved those bodily fluids alongside the fingerprints on the rope…”

    “A month later, she had set up surveillance with a timed recording. First, she used a tool to fake an assault on herself by injecting his bodily fluids into her, then produced the fingerprinted rope…”

    “She first placed a plastic bag over her head, then applied a binding technique to tie her hands behind her back.”

    “Finally, she collapsed to the ground, caught on camera, and suffocated to death!”

    Xiao Yu laughed coldly, “To destroy someone, you must go to extremes… Yet in the end, her elaborate scheme was discovered. She literally played herself to death. Isn’t that just laughable?”

    Is it funny… Wang Cheng murmured after hearing his master’s account of the case.

    A chill ran through him as cold sweat drenched his entire body.

    He finally understood the true meaning behind his master’s words.

    “Who said that lies can’t sometimes be taken as truth…?”
