Chapter 482 A Sinner's Confession (Part 1)
Let me speak...

Shi Hongfang looked at Xia Qiyuan across from him, his expression somewhat dazed.

Making Shi Hongfang recount everything he has done from beginning to end is tantamount to putting his conscience on the line.

"It all started when I first returned to Qianhua City."

Shi Hongfang looked at Xia Qiyuan quietly, as if waiting for the other party to ask a question.

But the latter showed no emotion, simply looking at him calmly.

Shi Hongfang abandoned the idea of ​​letting Xia Qiyuan ask questions and began his own account.

"Have you investigated my past?" Shi Hongfang asked.

“I’ve reviewed the files,” Xia Qiyuan said, “but I’d like to hear your own thoughts.”

Shi Hongfang remained silent.

After a long pause, he continued, "Everything I did in Thousand Flower City was planned as soon as I returned from Neva City."

Xia Qiyuan looked directly into Shi Hongfang's eyes: "Then, why did you do this?"

"Why……"

Shi Hongfang revealed a smile, a numb and sinister smile: "For revenge, revenge on those people."

"You might think that in Qianhua City, it would be a very simple thing for me to take revenge on a certain group of people."

Shi Hongfang looked up at the ceiling: "My family has been here for hundreds of years, right here in this city. Here I can do many things that I can't do in Nevada."

Fate has given me countless choices and countless opportunities to make mistakes.

I can ignore everything, leave all my troubles behind, and become a calligrapher, writer, or musician, because my family can guarantee my future.

I can choose any position I want, spend my days eating, drinking, and having fun, leave all work meetings to my subordinates, and enjoy the flattery and fawning from others.

I could also take over some of the family's businesses, become a wealthy young master, and spend my days in different entertainment venues, living a life of extravagance and debauchery.

I could also strive to enter officialdom, and through the cultivation and paving of my family, succeed my father and represent the Shi family in the power center of Asia Union.

What can't a natural winner like me do in Qianhua City?

How could I possibly lower myself to this level just to get revenge on a group of people?

As he spoke, the numbness on Shi Hongfang's face gradually turned into a hint of humanity: "But no one in Qianhua City can see the other side of what I experienced."

"I staked out the fugitive with Xingguo and the others in Nevada. To avoid alerting them, we would sleep in the car for three days and three nights in a row. The stench of our bodies was so strong that even the sanitation workers who cleaned the toilets would stay far away from us."

“In Nevada, my family connections provided me with a lot of support, but I was essentially no different from those police officers. At least when facing those criminals, I was just as likely to lose my life at any moment.”

"Although those days were tough, I felt very fulfilled. In Nevada, I made many true friends with whom I could entrust my life."

Shi Hongfang seemed to remember someone, and the smile on his face was no longer cold, but soon, this smile vanished from his face like a fleeting moment.

"But everything was destroyed."

Shi Hongfang stared at Xia Qiyuan with eyes full of boundless rage: "Everything was ruined by that group of people in Nevada. First, Xia Qiyuan's fate was unknown, and then the Hermit raised his butcher's knife."

Then they kidnapped and killed Xiaoya, driving Amin to the brink of despair!

boom!
As Shi Hongfang spoke, he stood up and slammed his fist on the table: "Li Yongming did nothing wrong! The entire city of Nevada is rotten to the core!"

Xia Qiyuan stared at Shi Hongfang, whose eyes were bloodshot, without saying a word.

He knew that Shi Hongfang was criticizing the inaction of higher authorities and venting his anger on the prosecutor named He Jun.

Because He Jun back then knew all this, but chose to turn a blind eye.

It was only after Yang Xingguo's repeated "persuasion" that he went to persuade He Jun, and eventually disappeared from everyone's sight.

Now that Xia Qiyuan is using He Jun's body, he has no way to explain to Shi Hongfang and can only remain silent.

After venting his pent-up emotions, Shi Hongfang slumped back down.

"So after I returned from Nevada, I started preparing a plan, and Jiuhua Outer City was the product of that plan."

Shi Hongfang lowered his head and drooped his eyebrows as he said, "I first used my identity to establish connections with influential companies in Qianhua City, persuaded them to participate in the Jiuhua City renovation plan, and completely separated the outer city of Jiuhua."

Because my surname is Shi, they did not refuse my request.

With the outer city of Jiuhua as cover, I began using a false identity to contact people in the local underworld of Qianhua City, including Song Jie, Zhang Feng, and Hu Yingshao.

"It was at this time that I took over the position of captain of the criminal police in Qianhua City, clearing obstacles for their expansion and creating a paradise exclusively for criminals."

Shi Hongfang said in a chilling tone, "Because only a sufficiently chaotic place can attract the criminals from Nevada City, gather them together, and wipe out these escapees who slipped through the net from the Hermit's clutches!"

Shi Hongfang slowly raised his head: "And now, it's time to close the net."

Xia Qiyuan looked at Shi Hongfang, whose face was contorted with rage: "So, in order to collect enough evidence of your crimes, you chose to cooperate with the boss behind Song Jie?"

Do you know who he is?

"hehe."

Shi Hongfang said self-deprecatingly, "Does it matter? I'm already acting as the protector of the person I used to hate the most, why would I care who he is?"

Prosecutor He, one person's energy is ultimately limited. I alone cannot collect evidence of every criminal's crimes.

At the same time, I have neither the opportunity nor the possibility of planning a second operation of this scale. So, this is a once-in-a-lifetime chance. As long as I can get that evidence, I don't care if the other side is a devil.

"Do you regret it?" Xia Qiyuan asked.

This question left Shi Hongfang speechless.

After years of planning, he ruined his future and his entire life, colluding with others to cover up his evil deeds, and suffering from the torment of his conscience day and night...

"Regret? The moment I walked into the criminal investigation team captain's office, I lost the right to regret, because from that moment on, it was no longer me carrying out the plan, but the plan pushing me forward."

Shi Hongfang sighed: "But if you ask me whether I ever regretted it when I was implementing the plan, I can tell you clearly that I did."

I am not a god; I am just a human being with emotions and desires. When I helped them cover up their crimes and looked at the victims and their families, I felt remorse more than once.
