Chapter 398 - If You Want It

Finally, Yun Xiangxiang couldn’t stand her roommates who were already immersed in their fantasy world, so she quickly packed up before escaping the room.

When she got home, a piece of bad news struck her, He Wei, whom she had not seen since half a month ago, showed up. He told her, “Zhang Feng admitted to all his crimes. But some of them were done before the divorce, and he said those were conspired along with Deng Yang.”

“He’s going to drag Sister Yang down with him even as he’s punished?” Yun Xiangxiang was stunned, for she didn’t expect Zhang Feng to be this vicious.

“He has some evidence on his hand. They might not prove Deng Yang to be his accomplice, but it can’t prove her innocence either. The worst part is Deng Yang doesn’t have anything that can prove her innocence either.” He Wei was regretting allowing Yun Xiangxiang to partner with Deng Yang.

He wasn’t being cruel, but Deng Yang was now put at a disadvantage by Zhang Feng, while Zhang Feng was a villain who would do anything to reach his goal.”

“He’s not dragging her down.” Song Mian looked at them sharply. “He’s trying to make Deng Yang look like she’s the mastermind. All his mercenary-hiring deeds were done before the divorce. He did have some bad records after that, but none of it involved murder. If he manages to frame Deng Yang as the mastermind, he won’t be sentenced to death.”

In other words, Zhang Feng managed to protect himself in the end. In some way, Yun Xiangxiang was impressed that he managed to find this kind of method to survive.

If he could drag Deng Yang into this, no matter if she was the mastermind or not, Zhang Feng would look like he was displaying good behavior by admitting his crimes and pointing out his ‘accomplice,’ Deng Yang. With that alone, the judge might even sentence him to a lighter verdict.

“He’s despicable.” Yun Xiangxiang had never despised a man so much before.

Maybe since he started walking down the path of crime the first day, he was already planning how he should escape punishment and get a scapegoat if he was exposed in the future.

And that scapegoat would be Deng Yang. If this was his plan from the start, the situation was bleak for Deng Yang.

He could have done many things during their marriage when he still cared about Deng Yang; when he still had Deng Yang’s full trust.

“Don’t worry. I won’t allow him even to have a chance to get out of prison alive.” Song Mian grabbed Yun Xiangxiang’s hand.

Under these circumstances, Yun Xiangxiang could only rely on Song Mian to finish this. She could do something against Zhang Feng previously. Even though she couldn’t trip him up, at least she could teach him a lesson.

But she couldn’t do anything in the current situation. She didn’t have any major connections that she could use to look everything up about Zhang Feng, nor could she turn the tides now.

Immediately, Song Mian sent a lawyer who served the Song Family to contact Deng Yang. Since the lawyer was based in New York, the news was swiftly sent to them.

The current situation showed that Zhang Feng used the card under Deng Yang’s name to transfer the money to the mercenaries he hired, but Deng Yang didn’t know when Zhang Feng registered this card.

The mercenaries hired by Zhang Feng spilled everything honestly when they were threatened by Song Mian, stating that Zhang Feng was the one who contacted them.

But Zhang Feng would have to say he was following Deng Yang’s orders. With the card as evidence, Deng Yang was still in dire straits.

There was also the fact that every time Zhang Feng hired a mercenary, there would either be a chat or call record with Deng Yang before that. He was hinting that Deng Yang did something illegal.

Deng Yang said he was talking about some other matter with her, which was unrelated to the murders.

It might be acceptable to hear this testimonial before all of this had happened, but now that it did, it was bone-chilling.

There was another thing. Some of the mercenaries who were caught mentioned that Zhang Feng had told them that they shouldn’t cross his wife’s line when committing the murders.

There was one time where they killed a female competitor. Zhang Feng said they could kill her, but they shouldn’t rape her, for his wife disliked that.

The mercenaries didn’t make this up to slander Deng Yang. This was something Zhang Feng said back then so he could sabotage her.

“Where’s the witness?” Yun Xiangxiang asked after she was done listening to them.

The evidence put Deng Yang at a disadvantage, but they couldn’t say Deng Yang was guilty just by what Zhang Feng said.

“Zhang Feng did things cautiously, so we didn’t manage to get any credible witnesses for now.” Song Mian shook his head.

Zhang Feng didn’t remarry after his divorce with Deng Yang. His private life was clean. Even if he had needs to be taken care of, he wouldn’t do it with the same woman, and all of the women he had slept with were easy to dispose of. They were making a deal of pleasure so that they wouldn’t fall in love.

Even if he did get a divorce with Deng Yang, Deng Yang was still the party that was in the wrong. When Deng Yang lost the battle for her brand, it was due to the fact she signed an unfair contract because she let her guard down. Though Zhang Feng was magnanimous enough to give Deng Yang the money, she deserved.

“It’s a hard lawsuit to win.” He Wei had never learned about the law, but he had gone through a lot.

“There’s only one way to win this lawsuit.” Song Mian had thought of a way to face this. “We need to overturn the verdict of the divorce trial before this by proving Deng Yang’s scandal was sabotage done by Zhang Feng. That way, we can indirectly prove Zhang Feng had already conspired against Deng Yang. If Deng Yang was the cruel woman like he said, she shouldn’t have been the one who left the marriage without a penny.”

Zhang Feng did things meticulously, but to not arouse Deng Yang’s suspicion and ruin his plan of overtaking her assets, he didn’t leave any direct evidence that pointed to Deng Yang as the mastermind behind the mercenary-hiring.

If they wanted to win this, they had to utilize preliminary evidence to support them so the judge would judge in their favor.

“It’s been six or seven years since then. I think it’s going to be hard to investigate.” Yun Xiangxiang frowned.

“It’s not as difficult as you think.” Song Mian smiled.

It might be difficult for everyone else, but it was simple for Song Mian.

With Song Mian’s vast connection, he could find the one who accused her of having a boy toy easily. Aside from the witness in court, he could also find out who and where the people on the photos who did not appear in court were.

The next step was to get the testimonial from Deng Yang’s star student. They had to get her to be a witness in court.

“Will she do it? And is her testimony credible?” Yun Xiangxiang was doubtful.

“She could betray Deng Yang for profit back then, so she can do it now. As long as she becomes a witness in court, I can take back all the plagiarism laws against her.

As long as he had terms that were tempting enough, he could do everything, even flipping everything on its head.

The question of her credibility lay with the judge, but at least they had a witness.

“Also, Mrs. Fan’s incident is going to work in our favor here.”

Mrs. Fan’s incident happened before the bomb scandal, and that meant Zhang Feng was already conspiring against Deng Yang back then.

The second time of hiring a mercenary to kill Mrs. Fan couldn’t be linked to Deng Yang, so it was obvious who was the mastermind behind that. It was him, not Deng Yang.

“Can we win this time, Ah Mian?” Yun Xiangxiang was deeply worried.

“As long as you wish for it, the result will be the one you want,” Song Mian answered her this way.
