Chapter 684: The Truth of the Violent Beating
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Seeing Cao Qiguang making such a ruckus, the lawyers and police officers by his side were baffled. This was because they really didn’t see anything…
When they and Cao Qiguang exited the police station together, the latter stormed towards Su Yang and the other two beside him the moment Cao Qi Guang saw them.
Then, because they knew Cao Qiguang’s personality, they knew that there might be a verbal conflict between the two parties, so they stood nearby to watch instead of following Cao Qiguang.
In the end, they saw Cao Qiguang suddenly took a step back, staggered, and fell.
When they saw him, they hurried over to help him up and wanted to ask what was going on, but Cao Qiguang insisted that Su Yang had hit him.
Initially, they suspected that they did not see it due to the bad angle, so they turned to look at each other. However, the others were confused as well and were sure that there was nothing wrong with them.
After all, it was impossible for all four of them to be wrong at the same time.
However, Cao Qiguang refused to give up and insisted that Su Yang had hit him, so they did not know what to do.
Especially now that Cao Qiguang wanted to check the surveillance tape, they were even more confused.
While they were confused, Mr. Jia adjusted his glasses and took the initiative to say, “Hello, I’m Mr. Su’s lawyer. We were chatting earlier and you came up to mock us and then fell down yourself. Plus, you even slandered Mr. Su for beating you up. I think this matter needs to be dealt with seriously.”
Cao Qiguang scolded, “Bullsh*t! He hit me just now!”
Mr. Jia did not get angry just because Cao Qiguang scolded him. Instead, he calmly took out his phone, turned on the recording function, and pressed the record button. “I will be recording everything you say as evidence.”
Cao Qiguang was speechless.
When he saw the voice waves appearing on Mr. Jia’s phone screen, Cao Qiguang did not dare curse anymore.
Instead, he glared at Mr. Jia before getting up and said, “Let’s go! We’ll find the evidence ourselves! Let’s see what they’re going to say when we find it!”
With that, he stormed off into the police station.
Although his lawyer and his police friend wanted to stop him, they did not know how. Hence, they could only follow him to prevent him from causing a scene.
After they left, Mr. Jia turned off his phone and looked at Su Yang. Then, he raised his glasses and said, “Mr. Su, please let me deal with such unreasonable people.”
Su Yang nodded and looked at Zhao Licheng before the both of them smiled at each other.
…
Back in the police station, several lawyers and police officers were trying to persuade Cao Qiguang.
However, Cao Qiguang was not one to be taken advantage of. Even though he was confused as to why no one else had seen Su Yang hit him, he believed in his memory and the injuries on his body.
Especially when he looked in the mirror earlier, he realized that his cheeks were indeed red, like he had just been slapped. This further proved that his memory did not fail him and the ones who were wrong were the people that he had been with.
However, he still did not know the reason why.
However, he knew that as long as the surveillance camera captured evidence of Su Yang hitting him, he could prove his innocence!
‘Now that I think of it, it really is a little sad that I’m actually trying to prove that I’ve been beaten up!
‘This is such a joke!
‘However, this is still something that I have to do.’
Therefore, next, he tried to persuade those who were trying to persuade him instead.
As a business partner, being able to raise the company from a young age was proof of Cao Qiguang’s ability and eloquence. Therefore, after he kept explaining and showing everyone the scars on his body, slowly, the others started to waver because of his persistence and confidence.
‘Is it really as Cao Qiguang says? Could Su Yang actually have hit him?’
With this question in mind, the few of them went to find the person responsible for the case. After a chat, they finally pulled out the surveillance footage.
Because this was the footage from the first ten minutes, it was easy to retrieve. With just a pull of the progress bar, Cao Qiguang found the footage. Thankfully, the angle of the camera was perfect. There was nothing covering him and the entire entrance was within view.
Then, the surveillance footage started to play.
At first, Su Yang and the other two were chatting. When Cao Qiguang and the rest came out, Cao Qiguang saw them and ran over angrily, pointing at a few people with his back facing the camera.
After that… The climax arrived.
Everyone held their breaths, eager to learn the truth.
Then… The surveillance showed that Cao Qiguang took a step back and fell to the ground. Furthermore… No one touched him.
Instantly, Cao Qiguang was stunned while the others looked at him, waiting for his explanation.
Cao Qiguang opened his mouth, wanting to say something, but… In the end, nothing came out.
After a while, he said, “No! No! Someone must have tampered with this surveillance camera! There’s something wrong with this video!”
Then, he grabbed the mouse and replayed the video at 0.25 times the speed.
Because it was broadcasted at 0.25 times the speed, he was like a clown in the video. He fell in an exaggerated slow motion before covering his face. Due to the camera angle, they could only see his back, but not his face.
Whatever it was, the video did not record anything about anyone pushing or hitting him, thus leaving Cao Qiguang speechless.
Hence, he could not help but start to doubt himself. ‘Could it be possible that… Everything was just my imagination? Could it be possible that I was so eager to have my revenge that I accidentally fell down and deliberately blamed others for it?’
Actually, Cao Qiguang was a very determined person who rarely doubted himself. However, the evidence and witnesses had proven that there was something wrong with his mind, so he started to doubt himself.
Furthermore, there had been some strange changes to his body recently. His sexual desire was very strong, but he was unable to have his p*nis erected. Furthermore, some parts of his body had become weird, which intensified his suspicion.
…
After watching Cao Qiguang and the rest entering the police station, Su Yang gave Mr. Jia a few instructions before getting into his Ferrari with Zhao Licheng.
During the drive back, the two of them chatted.
Zhao Licheng asked worriedly, “Mr. Su, is it really alright for Cao Qiguang and the rest to check the surveillance footage?”
Su Yang smiled as he drove. “It’s alright. I’ve already made the arrangements, so nothing will go wrong.
“However, I did put in a lot of effort this time. Now that I think about it, I actually regret it a little. If it wasn’t because he was so arrogant, I probably would not have dealt with him.”
Zhao Licheng asked in confusion, “Why did only the two of us see what actually happened? Why weren’t the others able to see it, not even the surveillance cameras?”
Su Yang smiled mysteriously. “It’s a secret.”
Actually, he had used several special items to do this.
The first one was the second ability of the [Memory Labyrinth Hourglass], [Memory Master]. There were five other people at the scene apart from Zhao Licheng and himself, so Su Yang used [Memory Master] five times to edit their memories.
Hence, this ended up with everyone becoming Su Yang’s witness, proving that Su Yang did not hit Cao Qiguang.
Secondly, Su Yang had tricked the surveillance cameras with Last Building.
As Spirit Building’s twin, Last Building had an innate talent, [Dimensional Black Mist].
The effect of this black mist was that it could hide anything from the outside world, even fooling all electronic devices.
Hence, all that was left was to use [Hands Of Fate], as well as Little Deeny and Jin JIn who had been sending Su Yang messages to combine the previous two abilities.
Therefore, the truth was that when Cao Qiguang was spewing nonsense, Su Yang had told Spirit Building to make the arrangements through Little Deeny and Jin JIn.
Then, he used [Hands Of Fate] to freeze time and summoned Spirit Building to the car not far away.
As time resumed and the black mist spreaded. Su Yang started to beat up Cao Qiguang violently.
At the last moment, he pushed Cao Qiguang out of the black fog, creating the illusion that he was taking a few steps back before falling down.
Su Yang then changed the memories of the six of them and erased all possible clues.
Thus, a “perfect crime” was born.
After he had sorted out his thoughts, Su Yang buried it deep in his heart and started to ask Zhao Licheng about other matters. “By the way, why did Cao Qiguang look for your wife? I remember that he has already been drugged, so I don’t think he’s capable of being a man anymore.”
Zhao Licheng was silent for a moment before he said, “I’m not sure either. After I drugged him, he still wanted to look for Shanshan at first, but I told Shanshan to avoid him on purpose, which he gave up after looking for her twice. So, all of us got along peacefully.
“However, a while ago, for some reason, he started to pester Shanshan again. Shanshan refused to see him, but he even went to the company and Shanshan’s home to stop her. Furthermore, after one successful attempt, he showed Shanshan that picture and threatened her.
“However, according to Shanshan, he didn’t mention anything about forcing Shanshan to be together with him this time. Instead, he only said that he wanted the money.”
Su Yang glanced at the rearview mirror and said, “So you’re saying that his goal is still the money? In the past, he wanted both money and women. But now, since he’s no longer a man, he wants money instead?”
Zhao Licheng nodded. “I think so.”
Su Yang nodded.
The car drove on the streets of Shanghai. After a moment of silence, Zhao Licheng said, “Mr. Su, can you not tell the police or Mr. Jia about the photo?
“Although this might help me get out of this mess, I don’t want to…”
Su Yang interrupted him. “Don’t worry. I understand.”
Zhao Licheng lowered his head and said, “Thank you.”
[Space Traversing Eyes] judged it as. [Sincere]
Su Yang waited patiently for the second notification to pop up. However, to his surprise, he waited for five seconds but did not receive a notification for his Silver Talent [Kindness Must Be Repaid].
‘Could it be that Zhao Licheng isn’t thanking me sincerely?
‘… That shouldn’t be the case. After all, [Space Traversing Eyes] did judge his gratitude to be sincere.
‘They are all abilities of the system. So, if there’s nothing wrong with the Silver Talent, then there should be nothing wrong with the Silver Ability as well. After all, they are both abilities from the system, so there can’t be only one of them that’s got something wrong.
‘If both abilities are correct, there’s only one possibility left…’
