Chen Xuan sat in the private room, smoking a cigarette, waiting patiently.
Housekeeper Liu sat beside him, constantly checking the ti.
Fearing that if the wait was too long, Chen Xuan would lose patience.
Half an hour passed, and those people were brought over one after another.
There were six people in total, suddenly brought to the hotel private room, all of them with changing expressions.
Inside, they felt even more uneasy.
"Feel free to sit down, no need to be formal."
Chen Xuan gestured with a smile.
The six of them exchanged glances, but no one dared to sit down, clearly very nervous.
"Didn't you hear when I told you to sit down?!" Housekeeper Liu snapped coldly.
Frightened, the six shivered all over, and without the slightest hesitation, promptly found seats to sit down.
Chen Xuan turned to look at Housekeeper Liu, "Everyone's here, inform the waiter to serve the dishes."
"Yes, Mr. Chen." Housekeeper Liu beckoned to the door, "Serve the dishes!"
Soon, the prepared dishes were all placed on the table.
It looked very lavish.
However, those six had no appetite at all.
Sitting there was like sitting on needles, growing increasingly anxious.
One among them cautiously spoke up, "Mr. Chen, we don't know why you've called us here... is there sothing you need?"
"I'm inviting you to a al, to get to know each other, and to chat about so matters while we're at it."
Chen Xuan smiled slightly, "Don't be nervous, just eat at ease."
"Let's eat while we talk."
"Mr. Chen, it's probably better if you get straight to the point, we can eat after we talk."
"Being brought here suddenly... we're unsure of things, and can't eat." That person laughed awkwardly.
The others felt the sa, all secretly observing Chen Xuan's expression, trying to glean so confidential information.
Chen Xuan nodded slightly, "Alright, let's respect your wishes; we'll talk first, then eat."
He then lit a cigarette, "Which one of you is Su Dongquan?"
"That's ." A man in his forties cautiously nodded in response.
Chen Xuan looked at him, "You've always been driving trucks?"
"Uh, yes, for over ten years now." Su Dongquan responded cautiously.
"One night four years ago, not far from the entrance of a small supermarket on Guanghua Street, your truck was parked by the roadside."
"Suddenly, a black sedan crashed into your truck, causing it to overturn and rush into the green belt. You should rember that."
Chen Xuan took a puff of his cigarette, looking at him calmly.
Su Dongquan shuddered all over, indeed it was about the car crash from four years ago.
The other five people present also instantly beca tense, seemingly realizing that they were summoned today to be questioned about providing false testimony back then.
Su Dongquan laughed dryly, "I rember it a bit, but not too clearly."
Chen Xuan smiled, "Who was driving the car that hit your truck, you should at least rember that."
This...
Su Dongquan hesitated, his mind racing, "I wasn't in the truck at the ti, I just parked it by the roadside and went to a nearby public restroom."
"When I returned, the crash had already happened. As for who was driving, I didn't see."
Chen Xuan sneered, "Did you really not see?"
"I'll take your word for it, but during the trial of the crash four years ago, you didn't say that! How do you explain it?"
Su Dongquan trembled continuously, "Mr. Chen, I... I had no choice, please let go."
Chen Xuan didn't reply, but looked at the other five, "Were you five at the scene back then?"
The five of them all lowered their heads, no one daring to speak.
"The owner of that small supermarket witnessed the whole car crash, saw it all clearly."
Chen Xuan took a puff of his cigarette, continuing, "According to his account, you five were not at the scene, but arrived about ten minutes later."
"Is the supermarket owner lying, or did you fabricate your testimonies back then?"
The five were so scared they left their seats, directly kneeling on the ground, "Mr. Chen, please have rcy, let us go."
"This matter... has little to do with us, we were just following orders."
Hmph!
Chen Xuan snorted coldly, "Does it really have nothing to do with you? Driver Li Ke died on the spot, could this matter really be unrelated to you?"
"But you ca forward to give false testimony, leaving Li Ke to die unjustly, while his wife, Mrs. Liu, had to bear the responsibility, enduring agony and tornt! This is inextricably linked to you!"
Including Su Dongquan, all six of them were trembling, none of them dared to speak out to defend themselves.
Chen Xuan flicked the ash from his cigarette, "If you're willing to tell the truth today, then you can relax and finish this al, and I promise to not hold past matters against you."
"But if you continue to stubbornly resist, today's lunch will be the last al of your lives!"
