Chapter 78: 078 The Most Elegant Executioner, Stepmother Breakdown (3 updates)

Tang Yunxian’s words had an air of deadly menace: “clanging chains, thrown in jail.”

The atmosphere instantly tensed up, everyone held their breath as if a single exhalation could ignite the entire studio.

The three people in focus were all shivering, the studio lights were supposed to be hot, but they all seemed to plunge into an icy pond, their bodies cold.

“What’s the matter? Not forthcoming? When I start talking, the nature of the matter will change,” Tang Yunxian remained calm, making the guilty feel even more nervous.

Nobody knew what kind of cards he held in his hand.

“If you come forward, the police might consider it a voluntary surrender, and you might get a lighter sentence. If I have to act, it won’t be the same…”

His voice was gentle, even slow, like a soft knife slowly twisting.

Despite trying to appear composed, all three couldn’t hide their fear, especially Tang Mo, who was actually trembling with fear.

“What on earth is happening?” The audience was clueless, yet talk of surrender and sentencing was mentioned.

“Don’t know, but if they’ve really committed a crime, would they dare to be on TV? They’re too bold.”

“In today’s society, there are plenty of shameless people.”

…

Right when the tension peaked, Zhang Defu suddenly leapt out, “Tang Yunxian, who the hell are you trying to scare? Stop bullying people!”

Feeling guilty and vulnerable, provoked and unable to control himself, especially after being publicly humiliated in front of so many people today, he lost his temper and charged forward, intent on hitting him.

Jiang Jinsang watched from the shadows, his eyes narrowing. They were too far to help, so the studio staff were the first to run over and try to intervene.

But Tang Yunxian was too close to Zhang Defu, and the staff couldn’t stop him.

The audience didn’t expect anyone to resort to violence, and just as they gasped, Tang Yunxian also made his move, lifting a foot and aiming for Zhang Defu’s stomach. He knew only simple moves, but he relied on his strength.

With all his might, one kick sent Zhang Defu tumbling to the ground.

The crowd’s gasps didn’t even have time to escape before they were stuck in their throats.

Damn—

Zhang Defu, furious and desperate, clawed his way up from the ground and lunged at him again, but a sharp pain in his stomach drained much of his strength, only to be met with a punch in the face.

He hit the ground hard, his body aching so much he broke out in a cold sweat.

At that moment, the studio staff and the Jiang family rushed over, Jiang Jiu moving the fastest, taking the lead, which made Jiang Cuo stomp his foot in irritation: “You’re always the quickest!”

By then, a group of people had thrown themselves onto Zhang Defu to hold him down, and Jiang Cuo, wanting to show off, seemed to accidentally step on Zhang Defu’s wrist, causing him to cry out in pain.

Mr. Tang’s punches must have been light, or else how could he still have the strength to scream so loudly?

In the commotion, he stepped on him two more times!

Tang Yunxian wasn’t a martial artist, even if he hit hard, he didn’t aim for the most painful spots, but Jiang Cuo was different, deliberately stepping on the most painful areas.

Zhang Defu was in so much pain he nearly left his body!

Who the hell was taking advantage of the chaos?

But by then, he was in too much pain to speak.

As he was pinned to the ground, Tang Yunxian raised his hand to straighten his sleeve: “Don’t take others’ courtesy as capital for your wanton behavior. Did you really think that I wouldn’t dare to lay a hand on you?”

The onlookers murmured: It’s more than just daring, your punches are quite fierce.

…

Zhang Liyun and her daughter obviously didn’t expect Zhang Defu to resort to violence. Seeing him being wrestled to the ground by several people, they were also breathing heavily, utterly shocked.

Perhaps because the studio was too warm, Tang Yunxian took off his suit jacket, looking down at the man still wriggling on the ground.

His gaze was dull, unwilling to spare a bit of eye contact for him.

His movements were always slow, unbuttoning the top two buttons of his collar, a slight hook on the corner of his mouth, “I already gave a chance just now, and since no one came forward to confess voluntarily, I guess it’s up to me to take the initiative.”

Zhang Liyun and Tang Mo were stunned by Zhang Defu’s flamboyant move and hadn’t regained their composure, when Tang Yunxian already started to speak.

At this point, it was too late for anyone to stand out and say anything.

Everyone thought Tang Yunxian would say something shocking, but he didn’t speak; instead, his assistant Xiaocai led some people out.

Those few were dressed in uniform, the light shining on them revealed the gleaming police badges on their caps, even in the dark.

“The police!” an audience member close by whispered softly.

Everyone had an innate awe of the police, and the atmosphere inside the recording studio became silent and eerie.

Behind the police, there was another person, hands bound in front of him, with a coat thrown over them. Having spent a long time in the detention center, his hair was cut short, and he looked much more haggard, but he’d been too much of a scoundrel before. As soon as he appeared, he was recognized.

“It’s He An! Holy shit, what’s he doing here?”

From her angle, Zhang Liyun couldn’t see the person, but when the name “He An” erupted from the crowd, her already pale face grew even colder.

It was as if all strength had been drained from her body in an instant, legs numb and weak, unable to support herself, even her expression uncontrollable.

Her makeup was already pitiful to gain sympathy on camera, and at this moment, she looked even more like a ghastly apparition.

“Mom?” Tang Mo was just as confused, thinking He An might come forward and expose her past scheme of tricking Tang Wan to the bar with him. Shocked, she realized that her mother seemed even more frightened than her.

“What’s wrong with you?” Zhang Liyun’s body couldn’t stop trembling.

Tang Mo touched her hand, which was cold to the bone, naturally increasing her concern, “Are you feeling unwell?”

“I’m fine.” Zhang Liyun was breathing rapidly.

Her entire mentality was on the brink of collapse!

The police quickly escorted He An up to where Tang Yunxian stood.

He An had been severely beaten by the Jiang Family and had also received a few hits from Tang Yunxian before being taken straight to jail, looking extremely emaciated.

Seeing Tang Yunxian, his body couldn’t help but shrink back, not daring to make eye contact.

Jiang Jinsang stood in the shadows, squinting at him:

Seeing him so wretched and miserable, he felt reassured.

There were some journalists mingling in the audience, their sense of smell even keener, recalling He An’s incarceration, the case dealt with rapidly, everyone speculating who he had offended to deserve such harsh suppression.

Now, it seemed the truth might come to light…

He must have crossed Tang Wan!

But they didn’t understand why the police would bring He An at this time. However, thinking of Tang Yunxian’s words earlier, could it be that there was a traitor within the Tang Family?

And what the police did next confirmed their guesses.

Two of them walked directly toward Zhang Liyun and her daughter.

“Ms. Zhang, you are suspected of being involved in a rape case. Please come with us for an investigation.”

The room erupted into chaos, and a sharp intake of breath rippled through the audience.

Zhang Liyun felt a tingling on her scalp, her legs went weak, and her mentality completely collapsed!

She subconsciously glanced at Tang Yunxian.

He was adjusting his clothes, raising his hand. If he were to be likened to an executioner committing murder, then he would be the most elegant and proper one.
