"As everyone knows, Huang Zhijie of your Martial Association confessed to everything and committed suicide at the Xue estate, fearing punishment for his crimes."
As he spoke, Chen Yang turned and raised his glass toward Zhang Zhi. "You're not going to tell me that this Huang Zhijie wasn't a member of your Martial Association, are you?"
Zhang Zhi was speechless.
He was left completely unable to offer a rebuttal.
The guests in the hall were finally starting to piece things together. With curious expressions, they quietly waited to see how events would unfold.
The day Huang Zhijie knelt before the cameras and confessed his crimes, he didn't claim the Martial Association had ordered him to do it, but his status as a Three-Bag Elder was undeniable.
Because the Martial Association was involved, people only dared to discuss it in hushed tones behind closed doors. No one would mention the matter in public.
