“Screech—Bang—”

The car let out a sharp screech of tires rubbing against the ground, then crashed into the tail of the car in front, and both occupants were thrown forward simultaneously.

“Thud—”

Xiao He hadn't expected Li Zhicheng to react that way; his nose directly hit the seat in front, almost bringing tears to his eyes, while Li Zhicheng also wrenched his neck, looking pained.

“Are you alright?”

Xiao He instantly snapped out of his previous emotional state, covering his nose and answering in a muffled voice, “I’m, I’m fine.”

Damn it! He reasonably suspected this guy did it on purpose!

Li Zhicheng turned his head to look at Xiao He, quickly masking the murderous intent in his eyes, and holding his neck, replied, “Sorry, the car in front braked suddenly, and I didn’t react in time.”

“It’s fine, it’s fine...”

While the two were talking, the reaction from the people in the car in front was much greater than they had imagined. The car door opened, and two bodyguards in black suits followed a young man wearing a mask and a baseball cap who walked over.

“Damn it, where did these sasaengs come from? This is absolutely insane, they even chased us all the way here!”

The young man cursed wildly while raising his hand to pound on the car window, his actions showing no gentleness, as if he was about to smash Li Zhicheng’s car window the next second.

Neither Li Zhicheng nor Xiao He had expected the other party to be such a volatile person.

Listening to his words, was he even a celebrity? Was he mistaking them for sasaengs?

Li Zhicheng’s face instantly darkened. He lowered the window and stared at him coldly, “You were the ones who slammed on the brakes first! And who are you? You just come up and start cursing? We don’t even know you!”

“Oh, you followed us all the way here, and now you’re pretending not to know us?”

The masked man sneered and went straight to pull the driver’s seat door, “You motherf*ckers, get out! Today I’m going to make you famous nationwide!”

“What are you doing?!”

Li Zhicheng locked the car door and reprimanded him sternly, while Xiao He in the back seat had already called the traffic police and the regular police.

Just then, another middle-aged man got out of the car in front. He was wearing a gray suit and looked quite presentable. Xiao He guessed he was probably this guy’s manager.

Sure enough, the manager went straight to the masked man and pulled him back, “I’ve already called an ambulance. You go back to the car first, I’ll handle this here!”

“Damn it, Brother Cheng, I can’t stand this!”

“Shut up! Don’t talk nonsense!” This manager was clearly calmer than the masked man. After a reprimand, he glared fiercely at Li Zhicheng and roared in a cold tone, “What’s your name? Do you know who you hit? I’m telling you, this isn’t over, just you wait!”

Li Zhicheng sneered, “What do you mean? Can celebrities just randomly accuse people? This whole thing was your fault to begin with, how is it our problem now?”

Li Zhicheng’s voice was very loud, and this area was already near the Film and Television Base, with other pedestrians passing by on the roadside. Noticing the commotion, everyone ran over to watch the show.

“What happened? What happened?”

“Was there a car accident?”

“Who got into a car accident?”

“That looks like Cheng Hongwen, doesn’t it?”

“Who?”

“Ran Yunrui’s manager!”

“Ah? It’s Brother Ran’s manager? Then could it be that Brother Ran is in trouble?”

“Look, isn’t that Brother Ran—”

As the surrounding voices grew louder, Cheng Hongwen’s face became increasingly grim. He quickly winked at the surrounding bodyguards, then told Ran Yunrui to immediately return to the nanny van and not show his face again.

But just as Ran Yunrui was about to leave, Li Zhicheng grabbed him again, “Hey, don’t run! We haven’t sorted this out yet.”

“Let go of me!”

Ran Yunrui seemed arrogant, but in reality, he was a soft-hearted chicken. He was almost pulled away when Li Zhicheng yanked him. The other bodyguards immediately stepped forward to stop them, and the two sides instantly fell into chaos.

And at this moment, Xiao He...

Xiao He was secretly recording.

To be precise, Xiao He started recording after the rear-end collision, to preserve evidence.

This was a GoPro lent to him by his roommate, originally intended to record some footage of the Film and Television Base for his roommate, but he unexpectedly forgot about it when he got busy. However, it wasn't too late to start recording “beautiful life” now.

However, the two sides didn't entangle for long before the traffic police arrived. Xiao He immediately submitted the situation he had filmed.

Upon investigation, it was discovered that Ran Yunrui’s side hadn’t been lying; they indeed had a sasaeng tracking them recently, and that car was the same model as Li Zhicheng’s, which was why it ignited the anger of Ran Yunrui and his group, wanting to teach the “sasaeng” in this car a lesson. 𝓯𝙧𝓮𝓮𝒘𝓮𝙗𝙣𝒐𝒗𝒆𝓵.𝓬𝓸𝒎

Unexpectedly, the people in this car were truly innocent and not the sasaengs they thought they were.

However, Li Zhicheng’s car did not have a dashcam, so there was currently no clear evidence whether this was a rear-end collision caused by the front car’s “malicious braking.” Ran Yunrui and his group naturally denied it.

Li Zhicheng was very angry and demanded a thorough investigation, but Ran Yunrui’s manager, Cheng Hongwen, was quick-witted. After realizing it was all a misunderstanding, he decisively apologized to Li Zhicheng and offered full compensation and hush money.

Even Xiao He received a portion of the hush money.

“This incident was our fault, and we hope you two won’t pursue it.”

Facing Cheng Hongwen’s smiling face and compensation, Li Zhicheng’s words were stuck in his throat.

He looked down at the envelope in his hand, hesitating.

Actually, this car wasn’t Li Zhicheng’s; it was a public car assigned by the crew.

But now that something like this had happened, the money... he would naturally keep it for himself.

“Well, then, don’t do this again next time...” Li Zhicheng immediately changed his attitude and put away the thick envelope.

As Li Zhicheng spoke, Cheng Hongwen looked at Xiao He again, “Little brother with the sunglasses, what do you think?”

Xiao He shrugged, “I’m fine with whatever.”

So, everyone reached an agreement on this matter and smoothly settled it.

-

By the time Xiao He emerged from the traffic management detachment, the sky had already darkened.

Streetlights were already lighting up along the road. Xiao He let out a long breath, and his gaze followed the direction of the streetlight, unexpectedly discovering that across the street was the police station of this jurisdiction.

Xiao He glanced at Li Zhicheng, who was still talking to Cheng Hongwen, and rubbed his chin, somewhat conflicted—

This was a good opportunity, the murderer was already here, just across the street...

However, although various probes had basically confirmed Xiao He’s suspicion, confirming that Li Zhicheng was “Zhu Lao San,” the fugitive from the original story of born to kill, Xiao He had not yet found any leverage against Li Zhicheng.

He also wondered if Li Zhicheng had undergone plastic surgery, as his face didn't resemble the wanted photo from back then. No wonder the police hadn't noticed anything after so many years.

Moreover, Xiao He had secretly observed earlier that when the traffic police routinely checked Li Zhicheng’s ID and driver’s license, they found no issues with his identity—meaning Li Zhicheng might have assumed someone else’s identity for all these years, perhaps without anyone noticing.

Just thinking about it sent shivers down one’s spine.

Perhaps Li Zhicheng had committed other murders over the years!

However, ◆ Nоvеlіgһt ◆ (Only on Nоvеlіgһt) this Li Zhicheng was truly strange; he actually ran to the film crew to observe the crimes he had committed in the past. This act of delivering himself to his doom was truly absurd...

Just as Xiao He was engrossed in his thoughts, the person who had just passed him suddenly turned back and stopped beside him, “Xiao?”

Xiao He quickly looked up to see who it was and realized it was Officer Xiao Li, the new Police Officer he had met during the false alarm incident at the previous film crew.

“Officer Li?”

Officer Xiao Li looked at Xiao He, then at the police station across the street, and asked with a rather complex expression, “Xiao, what are you doing here?”

Standing at the entrance of the police station, with a hesitant and conflicted look... this expression inexplicably reminded Officer Xiao Li of the man who had come to the police station to surrender after murdering and dismembering his wife last week.

Could this guy... also be here to surrender?
