Everybody here knew it was much better if the group continued to be run by Kevin. They couldn't
imagine what would happen if it fell in Kim's hands.
"If there is no objection, I am going to leave. I have an important business to deal with," Kevin said
curtly, not wanting to stay here any longer. Having received no objection from them, he strode out.
The shareholders looked at each other, each letting out a helpless sigh. They were too ashamed for
what they had done to Kevin.
On the way, Kevin came face to face with Kim. The latter had a smile on his face. He didn't utter a
word. He let his smile speak for himself.
In Kim's eyes, Kevin was just a man whose days were numbered. Such a person didn't deserve his
attention.
"Well, looks like someone is very certain about my death," Kevin said coldly as he passed by his rival.
His words had caught Kim off-guard. He understood his plans had been known. There was only one
other person who knew about it. It was Peter!
'I didn't expect Peter would snitch on me, ' he thought and shook his head angrily.
Kevin turned to him and said, "If you stop what you are doing and promise to leave A City, you can
consider yourself safe. However, if you insist on doing what you planned on doing then only one among
us is going to be hurt. And that person will be you, not me."
"In that case, I'll wait and see!" Kim retorted back, a disdainful smile making its way to his face. He
gazed at Kevin cynically, not truly believing the threats that had been thrown at him.
After all, he controlled the underworld and managed countless powerful people, all of whom were
willing to risk their lives for money. As for Kevin, he was rich and powerful. But he lacked the
connection that would enable him to fight back.
Kim paid no heed to his words. Kevin lowered his head and continued to walk, quickening his pace.
After Kevin returned to the Fu Family's house, Anne went rushing to him. Relief washed through her.
Her husband was safe and sound.
"Kevin, I suggest you hire more bodyguards," she said, looking at him with concern. "It's not that I don't
believe you, but I want to make sure you are fine."
With a smile at the corners of his mouth, Kevin pulled her towards him. In a low voice, he said, "Anne,
stop worrying about me. I will be fine. The only person who has to worry about his safety is Kim!"
"What! Will you be taking action so soon? Have you gathered evidence against him?" Anne broke free
from Kevin's embrace and stared straight into his eyes. "Answer me, please. If yes, then it's happening
too fast. How can you be so confident?"
As his wife, she wasn't convinced. She knew Kevin was the kind of man who planned well. But she had
no idea he would be taking action so soon.
He nodded and said with a smile, "I never do things without preparation. You have got to stop
worrying."
Defeated, she nodded her head, but deep in her heart she was still worried.
However, Kevin was very calm, as if everything was under his control. Seeing his confidence, she
could only pray things would go according to his plans.
After dinner, she sat on the sofa like a kitten, lazily nestling in Kevin's arms. He lowered his head while
he looked through the financial report of the company.
Just when she was beginning to relax, he whispered in her ears, "It's almost time."
Hearing Kevin's words, Anne was confused for a moment. But soon she understood what he was
referring to. A frown crept through her face. Before she could say something, his long hands
smoothened the lines on her forehead. In a soothing voice, he said, "Anne, I can't have you worry so
much about me. You know I am not the impulsive sort of guy. I think twice before I do something. I am
extremely careful and Kim doesn't stand a chance against me. He is going down."
His words had soothed her. She nodded her head and hugged him tightly. Yes, she believed in her
man. Once he succeeded, they could get rid of Kim. If Kevin failed, then they would go down together.
No matter what, she would be with him. Hence there was no reason to be worried.
On the other side, Kim was having a meeting with his subordinates and discussing how to kill Kevin
without getting caught. While they were immersed in this, there was a sudden knock on the door.
The crowd anxiously gazed at each other. Kim frowned slightly but soon gathered his wits. He asked
the group to remain calm and went towards the door.
In the monitor, he saw it was the police.
It was a late night. 'What could be the matter?' he wondered.
He couldn't think of a plausible explanation but opened the door anyway. The police outside looked at
Kim and saluted him. Without any delay, they cut to the chase.
"Mr. Cory, you are suspected of kidnapping, killing, and threatening. Please follow us to the police
station and assist in the investigation."
Kim raised his eyebrows and looked at the police in surprise.
Yes, he had done everything the police had stated. However, he was careful enough and hadn't left
behind any trace. 'Then how did they find out?' he wondered, worry building inside him.
Seeing the police, all the people in the room instinctively went for their guns. They frowned and looked
at Kim, waiting for his order.
Kim smiled innocently, but when he spoke, his voice was cold and murderous.
"Sir, I think you must have made a terrible mistake. I'm a dutiful businessman. How could I do such
things? Perhaps it is Kim who had done the things you have stated," Kim lied and pretended to look
grieved.
"We don't know the details yet. We are simply following the orders," the policeman said, looking a little
helpless.
Kim raised his eyebrows, hesitated for a moment, slowly turned around and gently shook his head at
the crowd.
Kim was the most cautious man which was why he survived in the underworld for so many years. He
gave this a lot of thought but couldn't figure out where he had made a mistake.
He knew fighting back wasn't a choice.
"Since you suspect me, I have no choice but to go with you," he said cooperatively.
The police nodded and immediately took him into the police car. The people in the room found
themselves in a helpless position.
"The boss has been taken away by the police. What should we do?" The police were their mortal
enemies. The mere sight of police made them vigilant.
"Don't you know our boss's ability? He has allowed the police to take him away. Even then, he seemed
so confident. In that case, we have to remain calm. Don't alert the enemy, or we might destroy his
plan." The bodyguard, who had been protecting Kim during the gunfight back then, continued to
discuss their next move.
Everyone approved this opinion.
Sitting in the police car, Kim looked out of the window at the scenery and he found himself deep in
thought. He was certain he hadn't left behind any evidence.
What had gone wrong?
He knew querying these police inspectors would be useless. At present, he had to look calm, or else
they would consider him guilty.
When they arrived at the police station, someone immediately frisked Kim's body. His expression
changed, but he knew fighting would make things worse. After they were sure he didn't carry any
weapon, the police let him sit in the interrogation room.
Kim looked around the interrogation room, giving out a dry laugh. This was the second time he had sat
here.
The first time had something to do with the gunfight in A City. Kevin had been responsible for it. In the
deepest recesses of his mind, he knew Kevin was responsible this time as well.
Ever since he was a kid, he had lived a smooth and luxurious life. But Kevin had the audacity to
disgrace him twice! This made it obvious that as long as that man lived, his life would be difficult. Under
the circumstance, the best thing would be to get him killed.
At the thought of killing Kevin, a murderous look entered Kim's face.
"What are you thinking about?" a voice asked, interrupting his thoughts.
Kim raised his head and looked at the interrogator. He shook his head slightly and said in confusion,
"I'm wondering why I, a businessman who abides by the law, is brought here. What on earth
happened? Has someone set me up?"
The interrogator smiled and sat next to him. "We are the law enforcers. We have certain duties to take
care of.
But for the first time, I feel like I'm in a dilemma!"
Kim raised his eyebrows and looked at the interrogator in confusion, "Why?"
"We have gathered some evidence. However, we have no proof that you are the one who committed
these crimes.
If you have indeed done it, it can only mean one thing - You are Kim. If this turns out to be true, then we
have made a big mistake by letting you go last time. And we missed an opportunity to render
meritorious service.
But if it's not you, we'll also be happy for you."
Hearing these grandiose words, Kim sneered.
In a society ruled by law, the police were eager to make contributions. If they actually caught a criminal,
it would be a wonderful accomplishment for them. How could they let him go so easily?
"According to the information we got, Kim and Cory aren't two different people who look alike. It says
they are the same person. It is believed that what happened to the AN Group's partner is your fault.
You tried to assassinate the developer of the project and made the AN Group suffer a loss of three
trillion. In addition to that, you threatened Abel in W City and forced him and his fellows to hurt the old
man.
You kidnapped Anne and made her drink the forbidden medicine. It doesn't stop here, you are also
accused of having killed Ryan and many other people."
Reading the documents in his hand, the interrogator looked at the man in front of him. The more he
read, the more surprised he became.
Although this man wasn't as gentle and elegant as Kevin, nobody would deny he was a handsome
man. There was nothing about him that made him look like a criminal.
Kim raised his eyebrows and shook his head with a smile. Yes, he was responsible for everything this
interrogator had just said. But nobody could charge him without solid evidence. None of this mattered.
"If you want to lock me up, please show me the evidence. Otherwise, it isn't right to accuse me of
committing these crimes. Please let me out. I have a meeting tomorrow which involves an important
contract." He crossed his arms over his chest and regarded the interrogator indifferently.
The interrogator closed the documents in his hands and slowly took off his glasses. Although he was
nearsighted, his eyes were particularly bright. He stated, "The partner of AN Group is not dead, and he
has the recording file in his hand. In addition to that, Abel can testify whether it was you or not. And to
top it, Kevin claims to have some evidence which he hasn't revealed yet."
The more he heard, the more shocked he became. He had no idea that the partner of AN Group was
still alive nor he knew about the recording. Besides, he didn't expect that damn Abel, who was already
in prison, could stir trouble for him. It was all Kevin's fault!
Now he understood why Kevin had looked so confident when he last met him. It turned out he was
well-prepared!
"By the way, last time Kim came to the police station, we extracted the DNA from him. Although you
have already submitted your DNA, we aren't quite sure it was the correct one. Hence we have decided
to make you take it again," the interrogator said as his eyes studied Kim's pale face.
Kim narrowed his eyes and watched the interrogator's receding figure. Nothing had gone as per his
plan! He gritted his teeth and clenched his fists as he raised his head to look at the video camera that
had recorded the whole interrogation process.
