Chen Yue thought I didn't know, but in fact, I sensed it from the beginning. Chen Ning didn't look like me at all, instead, she resembled Song Jinbao.

Who wouldn't recognize their own child?"

Louise asked curiously, "Then why did you endure it for so long? Does Chen Yue have a special background?"

"No.

I was once very angry and thought about killing them.

But one is my wife, and the other is my trusted subordinate. If they both died together, even a fool would know what's going on.

I would become a laughingstock across Southeast Asia.

Not becoming the King of Gamblers, but the King of Cuckolds instead.

So I wasn't in a rush to act, but planned to send Song Jinbao to New York and take him out first.

Chen Yue posed no threat to me. I can kill her anytime." Zhou Tiansheng flicked the ash from his cigarette and scoffed,

"But then something happened that changed my mind.

Online gambling is very profitable, but illegal. Cleaning it up isn't easy.

As my business grew bigger, controlling more money, the sense of crisis became more apparent.

I had to consider an exit strategy for the future.

The best outcome would be to successfully clean up and go legitimate, transforming into a successful businessman. I have been trying hard in this direction, but it's very difficult. I feel like someone is watching me.

If I can't go legitimate, then the only option is to run away.

But I know very well that I've made too much money over the years, affected too many people's interests, and this group will keep their eyes on me. They won't just drain my wealth; they'll try to kill me.

I don't want to hide all my life. The best way is to make the world believe I'm dead, change my identity, and live again.

That's the reason Song Jinbao has lived so long."

"You've been planning this situation for ten years?"

"Pretty much.

I've been like a crippled fat sheep, with too many people watching me.

Destroying the body and erasing all traces can't fool everyone, at least it's hard to deceive the Fobler and the police. You would still come after me.

What you believe most in is science and evidence. I'll give you evidence, the most accurate evidence, DNA identification.

Chen Yue is my ex-wife. Everyone believes Chen Ning is my daughter. If I die and my body is unrecognizable, the police will definitely look for Chen Ning for a DNA test.

So, Song Jinbao, the biological father of Chen Ning, is the best scapegoat.

I've made a lot more preparations than you can imagine.

First, I need to ensure that Song Jinbao won't betray me for the time being.

Second, I had Song Jinbao find a hitman. This gunman plays a crucial role.

Once everything was ready, I intentionally visited Chen Yue's restaurant and killed Song Jinbao that very night, making his body unrecognizable.

I used Song Jinbao's phone to call the hitman, telling them to kill Chen Yue.

This is a very important move.

If the police have already discovered Chen Yue's identity, eliminating Chen Yue means no one will know Chen Ning is Song Jinbao's daughter and not my biological daughter.

Second, if the police didn't identify Chen Yue, they wouldn't use Chen Ning's DNA for comparison. Once I killed Chen Yue, the police would uncover Chen Yue's real identity, linking the two cases together.

Then, using Chen Ning's DNA for comparison, they would confirm the truth about my death.

Meanwhile, the police would issue a wanted notice for Song Jinbao.

But I had already undergone plastic surgery and was living with a new identity; everything had nothing to do with me anymore."

Luke nodded, "Your plan is impressive."

"Thanks for the compliment, but you still caught me."

"That's because you ran into me."

Zhou Tiansheng laughed, "Do you know Granny Wang?"

"I don't sell melons, I'm serious."

"Okay, winners and losers, you are the winner."

"Also, I have a question." Luke took out a photo of his father, Li Zhaofeng, "Do you know him?"

Zhou Tiansheng glanced at the photo, "He looks a bit familiar, but I can't recall. However, I can confirm I didn't have anyone kill him."

"Think again. He is an accountant."

"Right, some time ago, I wanted to handle some assets and looked for an accountant. He was one of the candidates.

Song Jinbao approached him, but he turned it down."

"And then?"

"Nothing after that. Forced melons are not sweet, if he didn't want to do it, I just found someone else. I have plenty of money; someone is bound to be tempted."

"Did you send someone to retaliate against him?"

"I'm not a maniac killer; such a minor character can't affect me. Would you hold a grudge against an ant?"

"What about Song Jinbao?"

"He had no reason to either, at least I never gave such an order, nor was there any necessity."

Luke frowned slightly. Could it be that his father's crash was just an accident?

Or were there other reasons?

Zhou Tiansheng's expression didn't seem like he was lying, and this time and place weren't suitable for continued questioning, so Luke shifted the topic, "OK, tell me about your hidden assets."

"Hehe, I'm tired. Can we talk another time?"

Zhou Tiansheng is a smart guy who knows he can't escape Fobler's investigation. Even without admitting the murder case in New York, his past crimes in Southeast Asia are enough for several death sentences.

In fact, whether he admits guilt or not is no longer important, those among other charges don't make a difference.

It's the hidden assets that are the most important, his lifeline, which concerns his life for the rest of his years.

"Creak..."

The conference room door opened.

Negan entered the interrogation room, "I'm here to talk to you."

"Who are you?"

"I'm the head of Fobler's New York office."

"OK, I suddenly don't feel tired anymore." Zhou Tiansheng immediately put on a different attitude.

Negan said to Luke and Louise nearby, "Get Mr. Zhou a cup of coffee, we might be talking for a long time."

Luke and Louise left the interrogation room.

Next door, Michael also left the observation room with his people, knowing it wasn't their place to watch such high-level conversations.

Michael suggested, "How about going out for a drink? This is my third time inviting you."

Luke smiled, "Are you paying?"

"Of course."

"Then what are we waiting for?" Luke glanced once more at the interrogation room, feeling a bit emotional.

Zhou Tiansheng was indeed quite a character.

Ten years of wearing a cuckold, ten years of patience, ten years of scheming, all for today.

Unfortunately, human plans couldn't match the will of heaven; ultimately, he was one step short in his game.
