Chapter 347

Evelyn's lips curled slightly, a hint of mockery flashing in her eyes.

In this world, few truly stood for justice.

"Nanyang, does my acknowledgment even matter? As Vincent Langley's lapdog, how long do you think you'll last?"

"Among those clawing for power, who can match Vincent's tactics? At best, you're his right-hand man. At worst, you're just a disposable pawn."

Vincent's methods were indeed masterful.

Escaping unscathed wouldn't be easy for her.

But fortunately, she'd prepared in advance.

Vincent secretly controlled several underground factions, amassing wealth effortlessly.

He never showed his face—plenty were eager to do his dirty work.

Everything he did now was just an attempt to whitewash his reputation, to become "respectable."

Too bad he was already knee-deep in the muck.

Nanyang stiffened, meeting her clear gaze.

This was the first time he'd encountered such an opponent.

Calm under interrogation.

And able to see right through him.

He forced a smirk. "I don't understand what you're saying."

Evelyn replied lightly, "You know exactly what I mean."

Nanyang's eyes darkened, murderous intent flickering.

"Evelyn, this vial contains a lethal poison. Julian Roscente won't survive."

"Confess now, and we can all save time." Nanyang spoke with righteous conviction.

To Evelyn, he was nothing but a greedy, pathetic clown.

"Then show me the concrete evidence proving this is poison before interrogating me. Until my lawyer arrives, I won't discuss the case."

"Evelyn, public opinion is an invisible blade. The rumors outside aren't in your favor."

Nanyang still refused to give up, baiting her to confess.

Evelyn saw the greed he could barely conceal.

"Officer, do you know life's greatest tragedy?"

Nanyang frowned. "Cut the nonsense."

Evelyn smiled. "Dying before fulfilling your ambitions."

She knew all too well—in this world, a person's worth depended on their position.

Vincent was indeed at the height of his power now.

Nanyang: "..."

Her words struck a nerve.

"Lights." Nanyang changed tactics.

Harsh beams blasted into Evelyn's eyes.

Tears welled up uncontrollably.

Nanyang sneered. "Evelyn—"

"Nanyang, torturing me without solid evidence? My lawyer will sue you."

Nanyang narrowed his eyes at the woman in the blinding light. "Want to see your lawyer? Confess first."

Bang—

The interrogation room door burst open.

Nanyang spun around angrily, his face paling when he saw who it was.

"Captain... Laurent."
