Chapter 1981: No One Will Come To Save You
"It's been hard on you during this period of time. You'll get a bonus when you get home!" Qiao Mei said as she patted Da Nan and Xiao Bei on the shoulders.
"Thank you, Miss Pu~" Xiao Bei said happily.
Qiao Mei and Xia He slowly made their way to the depths of the basement. Those bodyguards from the Zhang family were all cowards and it did not take much effort for them to spill everything they knew about the Zhang family. However, the information they gave was nothing important. These people were not the Zhang family's trusted aides, so it was still best to ask Zhang Cheng directly for the details.
Zhang Cheng had been locked up in a pitch dark room in the basement. He could not even see his own fingers in front of him and the space was very small. Any ordinary person would definitely have a breakdown after staying in such a place for three days, and Zhang Cheng was no exception.
As the heavy metal door slowly creaked open, Zhang Cheng looked at the people walking in from the light and said fearfully, "I'll talk... I'll tell you everything... I'll tell you whatever you want to know! Let me out! I beg you, let me out!"
When Qiao Mei gestured with her chin, Da Nan and Xiao Bei dragged Zhang Cheng out of the dark room and locked him up in a cage by the side. Only then could Zhang Cheng see clearly who the person in front of him was.
"It's really you! You're the little b*tch who caused me to be in such a miserable state! Tell me! Where did you hide my cufflink! Return it to me!" Zhang Cheng shouted agitatedly.
"If you still have the strength to shout, then it seems that we've given you too much food and water these past few days," Qiao Mei said as she sat in front of Zhang Cheng.
"Oh hey, cut the crap! Give me back my cufflink! Otherwise, I'll teach you a lesson!" Zhang Cheng said.
"What cufflink? I've never seen you wearing a cufflink before. What use is your cufflink to me? Or is there some secret inside your cufflink?" Qiao Mei asked.
Zhang Cheng stared hard at Qiao Mei's face. He wondered if Qiao Mei was really not aware that Gao Tao's jewelry had magical powers, or if Qiao Mei was just putting on an act to hide the fact that she had stolen the cufflink.
"Stop all your nonsense. I have come to ask you, what exactly happened during the fire back then?" Qiao Mei said.
The last time, everything happened so quickly and they did not manage to get any evidence, so she had no proof that Zhang Cheng was the one who started the fire. Qiao Mei's intent today was to get Zhang Cheng to record or sign a statement.
"Fire? That was an accident! Gao Tao was just too unlucky! I don't know anything about it!" Zhang Cheng said stubbornly.
If he admitted that he was the one who tried to kill Gao Tao, would he still be able to get out alive? He was not a fool!
"Are you still thinking that your sons will come to save you?" Qiao Mei said.
"What... what do you mean?" Zhang Cheng asked in a panic.
"Since you don't know anything, I'll tell you out of the kindness of my heart. Your good wife, Liang Jin, has killed all your mistresses and illegitimate children! Their corpses had been thrown off the harbor to feed the fishes! I guess there's nothing left of them now," Qiao Mei said with a smile.
In fact, Liang Jin really wanted to do this, but those illegitimate children were too smart. The ones who came to attend her banquet were just the stupid and useless ones. These were the ones who would not cause any damage to the Zhang family, so Liang Jin had let them off.
"Impossible! Absolutely impossible!" Zhang Cheng said in a panic.
"Don't you know what kind of person Liang Jin is? The news is now known all over Sky City. On the night you disappeared, Liang Jin immediately sprung into action," Qiao Mei said.
"You're lying to me! Liang Jin doesn't have the clout to do this! Zhang Ping will definitely stop her!" Zhang Cheng said agitatedly.
"Sigh... Why will I lie to you? Zhang Ping has long been chased out by Liang Jin. He's quite a loyal person and is still quietly searching for your whereabouts. However, he doesn't have any manpower now and is all alone. When will he be able to find you? Liang Jin has taken over everything you have," Qiao Mei said.
Zhang Ping sat on the ground dejectedly and listlessly. Xia He wanted to give Qiao Mei a thumbs up. It was such a pity that she did not become an actress with such acting skills. "Don't be too sad. Liang Jin still has some conscience after all. You still have a son! Zhang Ou is still alive! At least she still leaves you with a descendant," Qiao Mei said.
"Bullsh*t! Zhang Ou is not my son at all! She's a vicious woman! It's not enough that she killed so many of my sons, she even wants to take over my family assets! She was the one who did all those things back then! If not for her instigating me! I wouldn't have hurt Gao Tao at all!" Zhang Cheng roared.
