Chapter 1412: It's Over
"Ling Zhenfei, I didn't expect you to be so cunning. It seems I really underestimated you. You're even more formidable than when I first knew you."
Ling Zhenfei laughed and said, "Speaking of which, I really have to thank Master Nangong. You were the one who encouraged me at the beginning, otherwise I wouldn't be so confident now."
Nangong Changhe laughed and said, "That's right, I always said you were not destined to remain ordinary, and now it's already been proven. I guess I'm really getting old."
Ling Zhenfei said, "Master Nangong, you probably don't have the strength to fight against the four of us, so this matter should be over now."
Nangong Changhe laughed and said, "Over? Why over?"
Ling Zhenfei said, "We'll arrest you and hand you over to the police, and I think you'll confess everything to them."
Nangong Changhe chuckled and said, "Ling Zhenfei, I really overestimated you thinking that everything between us was settled, and that's why I didn't do anything to you while in custody.
But I really couldn't imagine that you would come looking for me right after getting out and push me into this situation. It seems you have little principle when it comes to dealing with people."
After hearing this, Ling Zhenfei laughed and said, "Master Nangong, I think you really should come to me for a check-up. Having such thoughts truly shows you're sick. Do you think if you're sick, someone would really say that to you?
You used a series of plots and schemes to send me into custody. After getting out, should I not seek revenge but rather bring you gifts to thank you?"
Nangong Changhe said, "Alright, Mr. Ling, let's put it another way. Let me ask you, have all the matters between us really been clarified?"
Ling Zhenfei thought for a moment and said, "There are indeed some things that are my own speculation, but I think once I've caught you, everything will be clear."
Master Nangong said, "Actually, this matter ended the moment you were incarcerated. I had already won. Even if you catch me and I tell you everything, you won't be able to clear your name."
Ling Zhenfei said, "Of course I know this, but someone like you should be caught. Although catching you won't restore everything for me, it would still prove my innocence. The innocent will prove themselves."
Master Nangong said, "Ling Zhenfei, let me ask you, do you think this time you won or I won?"
Ling Zhenfei thought for a moment and said, "For now, it looks like you won. But since you've broken the law and I've caught you, once you confess the truth and go to jail, I'll be vindicated in the end. So it's still my victory."
Master Nangong laughed loudly and said, "Ling Zhenfei, do you know? There's no one in this world who can defeat me. Only I defeat others. No one can defeat me."
Ling Zhenfei said, "Master Nangong, you're too serious. Haven't you also said before that we are like playing chess, where there will be wins and losses, so why are you taking it so seriously?"
Master Nangong scoffed coldly and said, "Of course not. We are not the same. You don't understand what I have in mind. I am the War God of our sect, I have never lost. It was the same before and it is the same now. I won't let you ruin my reputation.
Ling Zhenfei, if you want to catch me and have me clear your name, stop dreaming."
After Master Nangong finished saying this, he suddenly pivoted and jumped off the rooftop.
Everyone was shocked. None expected Nangong Changhe would jump off the building. Back then, Nangong Changhe was standing at the edge of the building, and he jumped decisively. Although several people were at Realm level, it was too late to save him.
Seeing Nangong Changhe jump from the building, everyone was powerless, and of course, the most distressed was Ling Zhenfei. With Nangong Changhe's death, Ling Zhenfei was doomed to carry the blame, and it was doubtful if he could ever clear his name.
Ling Zhenfei had many doubts in his mind: is victory and defeat really so important?
From this matter, Ling Zhenfei learned a lot, such as the importance of timely response in dealing with things.
While in custody, Ling Zhenfei also thought a lot about his personal desires, such as women, which were his biggest weakness, jumping from one affection to another, and not knowing how to refuse.
But during his time in custody, Ling Zhenfei thought of many things and learned to control himself. Thus, in the Peach Blossom Secret Realm, Ling Zhenfei didn't do anything out of line regarding the Peach Blossom Fairy, which was related to what he had thought about in custody.
Ling Zhenfei felt that after this event, he had grown. Everyone goes through a period of youth and recklessness.
When a person's status reaches a certain height, their inner desires start to flow out and they become arrogant, lacking restraint.
But through accumulating experiences, one always learns to grow up.
Although this incident was a big blow to Ling Zhenfei, he truly matured.
Originally, Ling Zhenfei would not have been overly arrogant, and from the beginning, he didn't aim to be a big star, but walking a step at a time left him no choice.
Now Ling Zhenfei is a big star, but he doesn't carry the airs of a big star and doesn't see himself as one. However, regarding women, he indeed tends to fall for one after another.
There are quite a few girls around him, maybe in the entertainment circle, many stars have numerous lovers outside, but Ling Zhenfei is different from them. Ling Zhenfei wants to be responsible.
The timely appearance of the police controlled the scene, but the incident was already over.
Long Hai also arrived at their side and after surveying the situation, he said, "I didn't expect Nangong Changhe to jump off the building."
Ling Zhenfei said, "He helped too many people do too many bad things, and if caught, only death awaited him."
Long Hai said worriedly, "But now he's dead, and no one can prove your innocence."
Ling Zhenfei said, "Yes, it's frustrating. Why am I always the one who gets hurt?"
Just then, Huo Jie said, "While talking with Nangong Changhe, I startled and managed to capture the footage. I hope it will help you."
Ling Zhenfei was overjoyed upon hearing this, recalling words exchanged with Nangong Changhe earlier. Although nothing specific was said, Nangong Changhe indeed mentioned some useful information proving Ling Zhenfei's arrest was related to him.
It might even prove that all of this was orchestrated by Nangong Changhe.
Long Hai said, "With this footage and combined with the testimony from those three at the hospital and witness number one's statement, this is enough to prove your innocence."
For Ling Zhenfei, this was some good news, and he said, "Thanks to the government for believing in my innocence."
