Supreme Warrior in the City

Chapter 807: Chapter 806 I Gave You a Chance

The matter involving Zhao Ping’an was eventually resolved very clearly, not only were those from the Hu Family who were involved in the incident initially caught, but also those outsiders who had been enlisted by the Hu Family to handle the matter—all of them were arrested.

However, these people were detained in two separate groups. Those belonging to the Hu Family were kept inside, while those with different surnames were held outside.

These outsiders were essentially prominent figures in Liuan City; wealthy and powerful, they were people who normally dominated their local areas.

After being arrested, they still clamored and cursed. However, after being personally beaten by the higher-ups of the Hu Family, these people immediately quieted down.

In Liuan City they might have had some influence, but compared to the Hu Family, they were nothing.

They had originally thought it was Zhao Ping’an who wanted to settle scores after the fact, and they had no fear of Zhao Ping’an. But now, seeing the situation for what it was, they no longer dared to make a fuss.

Zhao Ping’an, looking down at the tightly packed kneeling figures before him, felt his gaze growing increasingly colder.

These were the people who had helped the Hu Family’s spoiled brat deal with the aftermath when his father was killed by a car. Among those present were quite a few whom Zhao Ping’an had seen before.

Take, for example, that doctor, who personally certified that the Hu Family’s spoiled brat hadn’t been drinking.

And that lawyer, who defended the Hu Family’s brat in court. Despite the clear case of drunk driving resulting in death, he insisted it was Zhao Ping’an’s father who intentionally staged a collision. He argued it was due to poor visibility that the Hu Family’s brat had failed to see clearly, leading to the accident. Keep in mind, Zhao Ping’an’s father was walking on a pedestrian crossing.

There were also others who helped destroy evidence, who fabricated testimonies. Some nearby shopkeepers, who had surveillance, destroyed the footage following the incident, aiding the Hu Family’s brat in exonerating himself.

Zhao Ping’an’s mother had once pleaded with them, kneeling on the ground. She wasn’t asking for the Hu Family’s brat to pay with his life, only for them to tell the truth, so at least her husband wouldn’t have to endure the stigma of being a scam artist in death.

But these people, bought off by the Hu Family, had declared black to be white, and vice versa. Zhao Ping’an’s father, a man of such good nature, was framed as an unforgivable villain.

Zhao Ping’an still remembered the disgust on their faces as his mother knelt on the ground, crying and begging them to tell the truth. Eventually, some of them, annoyed, simply threw his mother out. She could only crawl back up awkwardly and hobble home, to cry silently when alone.

And all this was the handiwork of these people.

Zhao Ping’an was now beginning to understand what Su Yang had said; if these people were capable of such actions, why should he give them a chance?

Letting out a soft breath, Zhao Ping’an took a slow step forward and said coldly, ”Everyone should know why you have been brought here so late. Today, I’m here to ask again, was my dad killed by drunk driving, or did he die staging a collision on purpose?”

The people looked at each other in silence for a long time before one man shouted loudly, ”Your dad died staging a collision! Don’t think you can intimidate us just because you’ve arrested us. As human beings, we all have a conscience, and you can’t scare us into bearing false witness against Mr. Hu! Let me tell you, that’s not going to happen!”

After speaking, the man cast a glance at the Hu Family’s spoiled brat, signaling his full support even at this juncture; he was still attempting to curry favor with the Hu Family.

The elder of the Hu Family wanted to speak, but was stopped by Zhao Ping’an.

”What do the rest of you think?” Zhao Ping’an asked in a cold voice.

With one man leading, the others soon followed, each shouting that Zhao Ping’an’s father’s death was a case of insurance fraud and had nothing to do with the Hu Family’s Spoiled Brat.

Half of these people wanted to please the Hu Family, and the other half didn’t want to take responsibility. After all, if at this point they said that Zhao Ping’an’s father was killed by the Hu Family’s Spoiled Brat in a drunk driving incident, wouldn’t it mean they had given false testimony before? They were unwilling to take on that responsibility, so they had no choice but to stubbornly resist and keep up their defense!

Zhao Ping’an also remained silent, just silently watching these people shout loudly.

Finally, when the noise settled down, Zhao Ping’an slowly nodded, ”It seems everyone is sticking to the same story as before. Well, let’s ask the Hu Family’s people what they have to say about it!”

Zhao Ping’an waved his hand, and someone immediately ran in and dragged out all of the Hu Family members involved in the matter.

Seeing these people come out, those with different surnames were bewildered. The Hu Family was right there watching; why wouldn’t they protect their own?

Zhao Ping’an turned to the people of the Hu Family and said coldly, ”Now, it’s your turn to speak. How exactly did my father die?”

Most of the Hu Family members had seen Zhao Ping’an’s formidable methods firsthand and were now trembling in fear. Hearing his question, they looked at each other, with no one daring to answer.

”No answer? Fine!” Zhao Ping’an nodded, ”I’ll start from the left. Anyone who doesn’t want to answer, I’ll chop off his hands and feet until he’s ready to start talking!”

The people on the left immediately panicked. Before Zhao Ping’an could move, someone from that side yelled out loud, ”It was... it was Old Jiu, drunk driving, that killed him, it was Old Jiudriving that crashed and killed him...”

At this, those with different surnames were stunned. They were still holding out, so why had the Hu Family members admitted to it?

Zhao Ping’an looked at them one by one, and as long as he made eye contact with any of the Hu Family members, they would immediately answer honestly, admitting that it was the Hu Family’s Spoiled Brat’s drunk driving that killed his father.

Zhao Ping’an slowly nodded. He turned to those with different surnames that had just spoken and said coldly, ”You all know these people well. It was they who joined you in dealing with my father’s affair. The Hu Family has spoken; now, what more have you got to say?”

All those people with different surnames remained silent, heads bowed. The Hu Family members had confessed; what more could they say now?

”No more to say?” Zhao Ping’an spoke coldly, ”Is it because you have nothing to say, or simply because you can no longer lie?”

The men exchanged glances, and one of them stiffened his neck and said, ”We got it wrong, this incident, but what of it? At most, we’ll get a few years for giving false testimony. You’ve taken us captive on your own accord; what are you trying to do...”

Before the man could finish, Zhao Ping’an suddenly grabbed a Longsword lying beside him and threw it.

The Longsword pierced through the man’s mouth, nailing him to the wall behind, startling everyone around.

”Lying must be punished!” Zhao Ping’an said coldly, ”In the Eighteenth Level of Hell, there’s a Tongue-Ripping Hell. Have you heard of
