Chapter 161: An Angel’s Revenge (1/2)

Baldy delivered the body to the boss, claiming that the girl had fallen in the nightclub and died there. Before disposing of it, he meant to give it to the boss as a special gift. The boss was delighted and praised Baldy for being such a loyal underling. Then the boss disappeared into a room with the dead body.

However, a few minutes later, the boss burst out of the room and yelled for Baldy to get his ass in there. It turned out that Xiao Lanlan was still alive. She was merely in a deep coma earlier. Just when the boss was having sex with her, Xiao Lanlan suddenly coughed. For a necrophiliac, it was the worst thing that could’ve happened!

The boss was now angry and very annoyed. Had Xiao Lanlan been sent to the hospital earlier, she could’ve been rescued, but it was too late then. The boss told Baldy to take care of the girl’s body quickly and quietly, and then he’d deal with him later.

So, Baldy left Xiao Lanlan on the side of the road and called 120. No one saw the girl at the nightclub again, so everyone assumed she was dead.

Xiaotao clenched her fist the whole time Baldy was speaking. When Baldy was done, she raised her hand and was about to hit him. Baldy flinched as Xiaotao spat, “You lot are no different from wild beasts!”

“I admit it!” replied Baldy. “It was cruel; it was evil! But I’ll readily accept all kinds of punishments, whether it be time in prison or the death sentence!”

“Everything you told us was the truth,” I said, “except for one small detail—you didn’t do it. It was someone else!”

Baldy’s eyes widened and his jaw dropped.

“You’re joking, Song-ge!” he exclaimed. “Who would admit to such a crime if they didn’t really do it?”

“Well,” I replied, “it could be that you’re protecting someone!”

Baldy went silent. I must’ve guessed it right. The little detail that betrayed his non-involvement was the part where he mentioned burying the body in an isolated place. It was indeed true that if he really was in that situation, getting rid of the body would be cleaner, quicker, and safer than just abandoning it by the roadside and then calling the ambulance.

There was nothing the underworld gangs hated more than betraying your own people, especially to the police. Xiao Lanlan’s case had the name of the Black Panthers gang’s upper echelon written all over it, and Baldy was obviously only trying to protect his boss.

Still, no matter how much we tried to force the truth out of Baldy’s mouth, he insisted that he was the only one responsible for Xiao Lanlan’s death.

“Fine, you useless scum!” snapped Xiaotao. “You can go back to your cell now.”

It would be pointless to focus on Xiao Lanlan’s case now. Not only had much time passed since her death, there were no witnesses or physical evidence that could link it back to the actual perpetrators. Thus, we had to relent to the fact that nothing could be done.

Chu Yan’s case, on the other hand, was now crystal clear. She must’ve known that Xiao Lanlan was working at the nightclub. She was saddened by Xiao Lanlan’s death, and probably snooped around for the truth and found out that it was caused by the head of the Black Panthers gang.
