Chapter 1996: How Could You Be So Heartless?

“Humph! Didn’t you say you had the evidence? If you have it, then show me what evidence you have!” said Shen Yanfeng. Although he was anxious and worried, he acted composed.

Since Shen Yanfeng asked, Leng Shaoting handed Shen Yanfeng a stack of A4 paper documenting every detail of Shen Yanfeng’s crimes.

Right at the top, there was evidence of Shen Yanfeng’s corruption. It contained surveillance footage screenshots, the time and location of every incident, the amount of bribery involved, and everything he did to obtain the bribery. They managed to establish eight cases of bribery involving over $2.6 million in funds and other valuables such as jewelry.

They naturally did not possess evidence of all Shen Yanfeng’s bribery, but these were enough to charge him with. In any case, they had evidence of other major crimes he had committed!

There were screenshots of Shen Yanfeng talking to members of the Kirin Gang. Also, there were photos of him talking to Yuan Wenrui accompanied by a photocopy of his contract for his drug deals with Yuan Wenrui.

Shen Yanfeng felt increasingly scared as he went through the evidence, especially when he saw the contract for his dealings with Yuan Wenrui, but Shen Yanfeng refused to confess.

“Do you still refuse to confess to your crimes even though we have all this evidence against you?” asked Leng Shaoting.

“These are fabricated. I was framed. Just because you produced this evidence does not mean this is the truth!” Shen Yanfeng continued to deny it desperately. Despite his denial, his reaction had already given him away.

“Fine. In that case, I will let you meet someone.” Despite Shen Yanfeng’s denial, Leng Shaoting stayed calm. He gestured to Xu Jinchen and Xu Jinchen led Chen Jinpeng into the room.

The moment Shen Yanfeng saw Chen Jinpeng, he was startled. He did not expect them to arrest Chen Jinpeng. Did this mean they knew about the things that transpired four years ago?

Chen Jinpeng was equally startled when he saw Shen Yanfeng, but he was unsurprised. Since Leng Shaoting had already arrested Shen Yanfeng, that meant it was just a matter of time before they learned of all their dealings.

Leng Shaoting had probably investigated the Shen and Chen families ages ago!

Shen Yanfeng was unaware if Chen Jinpeng had betrayed him, so he harbored hope in his heart that he could get away with it. Shen Yanfeng pretended not to know Chen Jinming as he asked, “W-who is he?”

Shen Yanfeng thought he could save himself by denying to know Chen Jinpeng, but Leng Shaoting and the others saw through the act and found him hilarious.

Despite Shen Yanfeng’s refusal to confess to his crimes, they already possessed ironclad evidence, so it was impossible for Shen Yanfeng to escape punishment.

Chen Jinpeng was unsurprised when Shen Yanfeng pretended not to know him, but he felt Shen Yanfeng was foolish to do this.

Even though Chen Jinpeng did not betray him, he would not have bothered to deny it like Shen Yanfeng in the face of facts since it was completely futile.

Leng Shaoting must have arrested them when he had enough evidence to charge them. Even if they did not possess enough evidence, he was powerful enough to make it happen. Regardless of their confessions, the result would be the same.

“Pftt. When are you going to get it?” scoffed Xu Jinchen. “Shen Yanfeng, do you really think you can escape punishment by denying it? It’s impossible. Even if you do not admit to your crimes, the moment we have evidence, you can be charged.”
