Chapter 284: A Man From the Agency

“So that’s the situation now. Howard Ma is dead. You ought to be mentally prepared! Don’t hope that the people backing you can bail you out of this. No one can save you when it comes to a matter of life and death!” The police officer said.

“I’ll give you some time to prepare your statement. Don’t leave out any details from start to finish, and be honest!”

Then, he leaned back on his chair, closed his eyes, and waited.

The police officer had the intuition that the case would be difficult indeed. The background of Howard Ma and the kid in front of him were very powerful. They were not normal people.

He realized that he must have been involved in some sort of power struggle.

‘There’s nothing to be afraid of. I’ll just treat this case just like any other. No one can say anything if I do everything by the law. I’ll just wait for the kid’s statement and the hospital report,’ he thought to himself.

“Alright, it’s about time! You’ll be treated more leniently if you confess honestly!’ A while later, he sat straight on his chair and shouted at Tang Hao.

Tang Hao remained silent.

He could not afford to tell the police officer everything. If he did, he would be guilty of taking the scar-faced man’s life.

“You’re not speaking?” The police officer’s expression darkened. “I’m giving you a chance to save yourself, Tang Hao.”

Tang Hao’s mouth remained shut.

He could not afford to make any mistake in his statement. He had to make up the perfect story.

“Oho! Are you planning to resist until the very end? Alright! I have the time anyway. Let’s see who’s more patient. Also, let me remind you, even if you don’t confess to the crime, we’ll still have a way to nail it on you,” the police officer said sternly as he slammed the table.

Seeing that Tang Hao made no response, he leaned back on his chair again and waited patiently.

‘He’s probably scared out of his wits now!’ He thought to himself as he looked at Tang Hao.

There must be some reason why the kid did not want to say a word.

‘There’s nothing fishy about his death!’ He thought as he looked at the message from his colleague at the hospital. He was even more sure that the kid was finished. There was no way the kid could shake off the crime.

“I don’t mind sitting here and waiting. Don’t hope that someone else will save you. Nobody can meet you now, much less bail you out!” He said, trying to hint at something.

Tang Hao remained silent.

He continued to remain silent for the next half an hour and finally thought of the perfect statement. Just when he was about to speak, the door to the interrogation room opened. Someone came in and whispered next to the police officer’s ear. “Someone’s here to meet him, Captain!”

“Who is it?” The police officer was surprised.
