Chapter 405 - You have the right to remain silent

Lu Aotian could be this evil...

Of course, she had known this all along. Although he was usually kind, it wouldn't remain so if you messed with him. 

Although this time he was using someone's life as a chess piece, she couldn't really blame him. 

After all, he was being accused of murder by that person. Not to mention, he wasn't actually killing anyone.

When the editor listened to the recording that was of his voice, he knew that this was Lu Aotian's doing. 

He felt wronged but what could he do? 

He couldn't possibly deny it, could he? Who would believe him if he claimed that this was edited by Lu Aotian? 

Even if they did, he would still be to blame for betraying his company. 

With no choice left, he hid away in cowardice. 

However, Lu Aotian found him. 

"Are you going to do it, or do you need my help?" 

Drenched in sweat, he stuffed his own mouth and bit hard, stabbing into his hand using a dagger. Even as a man, he couldn't stop the tear of agony from rolling out of his eye. He bit hard, stopping himself from wailing.

He thought Lu Aotian would flinch from the pitiful scene and let him off but...

"I assume you need help with the other hand." He said and signalled his men. 

"Get rid of the hands. Make it entertaining." 

When the man looked around, he realized that one of those men was a renown doctor. So he was not allowed to die. 

Haha, Lu Aotian, you are heartless. Why don't you just kill me and be done with it? 

"Boss, should we cut the tongue as well?" 

Lu Aotian, who was still in the mood to drink wine, put the wineglass down. "On second thought, leave it to him." 

The "him" Lu Aotian was talking about was Cheng Bai. Without a tongue, he couldn't talk. 

Although Cheng Bai would still feel threatened, he would be more threatened if that man could talk.

As expected, not even a full day was complete before the editor was murdered. Cheng Bai was scared that he would be sold out since that man had been tortured so badly. 

Hmph! It was a good thing that Lu Aotian had paved a way for him. Since that man died at this time, who wouldn't blame it on Lu Aotian? He was, after all, the only person who had anything against that editor. 

The next day when the news of his death was reported, the Lu brothers paid Cheng Bai's father a visit. 

"First young master, second young master, it's been a while since you paid this old man a visit. I wonder what brings you here?" 

Lu Aotian didn't waste his time on small talk. "Between the Lu family and the Cheng family, what's the punishment for betrayal?" 

Old Cheng didn't understand but answered him anyway, "Death." 

"Then, does your son deserve to die?" 

At this point, Cheng Bai had just returned. "President Lu, what are you talking about? Why do I deserve to die?" 

Lu Aotian was in no mood to speak to him, so Lu Shaoting went ahead. "You have served my brother for this long as his assitant. But despite him treating you like a friend and confidant, you have colluded with the enemy to bring harm to the Lu family and Lu Enterprises. Don't you think you deserve to die?" 

"Ha!" Cheng Bai broke into laughter. 

"Treated me like a friend, really? He treated me like a sideckick!" 

"My father was Grandfather Lu's assitant. Do you know what that made me? While this useless man was brought up to be a prince and take over Lu Enterprises, what was I,huh? I was brought up to serve him. Was it fun making me your sidekick, Lu Aotian?" 

Lu Shaoting almost exploded in rage. How could one twist the facts like this? Even if Lu Aotian had treated him like a sidekick, it was only right. Wasn't it his father who owed Grandfather Lu a life and decided to make his young son Lu Aotian's assistant as a way to repay him? 

Lu Aotian stopped him from saying anything. 

He glanced at Cheng Bai. "So you decided to collude with the Yuns to bring down the company? You have been giving them information about me for a while now." 

Old Cheng was furious. He slapped his son across the face viciously. "You stupid child! Kneel down. Apologize to first young master and to our ancestors!" 

Cheng Bai laughed. "I will not. He is just a murderer on the brink of being imprisoned." 

"You mean, for the murder you commited?" Lu Shaoting snickered. 

"So what if I did? Who had the motive of killing that editor? You even cut off his hands. Haha, the joke is on you, Lu Aotian. You weren't so smart this time." 

Lu Aotian took his laptop and made a video play. 

"How did you..." 

It was the video of Cheng Bai killing that man. 

He reached for Lu Aotian's laptop with trembling hands. 

"Don't waste your time. The police already have it." 

Before Cheng Bai had time to react, the door opened and two police officers walked in. 

"Mr. Cheng Bai, we have the warrant to arrest you for murder and assault. Please come with us to assist in investigation. You have the right to remain silent. Anything you say might be used against you in the court of law." 

Although he was shocked by their sudden appearance, he remained silent because he was guilty. But assault? Were they talking about how  that man's hands were chopped off? 

He looked at the indifferent Lu Aotian as the police cuffed his hands behind his back. Lu Aotian, you are too evil.
