Fifth Master Adds a Stab (4 more chapters) The police brought He An over, and naturally, the case they were talking about had something to do with him. Zhang Liyun involved in a crime? That’s a lot to take in…

There was a moment of deafening silence inside the shed, which was abruptly broken when a man cursed, and all hell broke loose below.

“He An was messing with Tang Wan, wasn’t he? And then his stepmother got involved with him…”

“I was wondering who He An had offended that they wanted to ruin him like this. If someone touched my daughter, I would fight them to death!”

“So it’s an inside job, and they wanted to do away with Miss Tang…’Hell hath no fury as a woman scorned’ couldn’t be more fitting here.”

“Think about when she was interviewed before, how evasive she was when asked about Miss Tang. Now it seems she played both sides and was such a hypocrite.”

…

“Mom?” Tang Mo was also dumbfounded. She thought the police were coming for her, but to think… “Officers, you must be joking.”

How could a scumbag like He An be linked to her mother when they had barely exchanged a few words?

Zhang Liyun had a blank mind, “Could you have made a mistake?”

“Zhang Liyun, right?” The police confirmed her identity.

“Yes.”

“Then we’ve made no mistake. He An has already explained everything to us. He wants to plead guilty and seek a lenient punishment, claiming that for the incident before, you were his accomplice.”

“No, I wasn’t!” Zhang Liyun denied too quickly, her voice loud and anxious, her haste to disassociate herself only making her more suspicious.

Normally so composed, she couldn’t help but panic in this situation.

“If you were, or not, we’ll find out as soon as you come with us.” The police didn’t have time for idle talk.

“How can you trust anything He An says, don’t we all know what kind of person he is?” Zhang Liyun tried to vindicate herself by throwing all accusations back on He An.

He An was also known for his temper. Even though a few days in custody had worn him down, he exploded at her words.

“Zhang Liyun, what the hell do you think you are to talk about me?” If the police hadn’t held him back, he might have charged at her.

“I admit, I’ve done a lot of shitty things and indeed am no good, but here, you have the absolute least right to judge me!”

“Even if Tang Wan isn’t your biological daughter, you’ve lived together for so long. For the sake of your own daughter, you colluded with me to destroy her. I was temporarily blinded by lust, but you are truly selfish and malicious.”
