Ma Guangyuan's heart was in a panic, but he feigned composure on the surface, thinking his act was flawless. Chen Xuan was deliberately bluffing him, and he couldn't afford to mess up.

Chen Xuan leisurely took out a cigarette, lit it, and exhaled a puff of smoke.

"Ma Guangyuan, I know exactly what you're thinking."

"There are only two purposes for your actions. First, if those twelve underground fighters manage to kill me tonight, you'll have no worries about telling Ma Ting the truth and being the good guy. Plus, you can indirectly help your son Ma Wenqiang get back at me, since it was I who sent him to prison, and you've always held that grudge."

"Secondly, if they die at my hands, you can take the opportunity to frame Ma Ting, have me get rid of her for you, offend the Qian Family, and profit from the conflict between us."

"Either outcome, you stand to gain without any losses!"

Chen Xuan looked at him with a sneer, "Did I say anything wrong?"

Ma Guangyuan was in an uproar internally, not expecting Chen Xuan to see through his every thought so clearly.

But at this moment, he absolutely couldn't admit to anything, as there might still be a slim chance for survival, counting on Chen Xuan lacking concrete evidence.

"Mr. Chen, with all due respect, this is just your personal speculation, and it truly has nothing to do with me!"

"I never targeted you, nor do I have the guts to."

Ma Guangyuan whispered in defense, wearing an expression of being wronged.

Chen Xuan sneered dismissively, "Haven't you read Marx's Das Kapital?"

"If there is 50% profit, capital will take risks. You don't have the guts to confront me directly, but you can't resist the lure of profit, so you opted for this safest risk-taking route!"

"You just think you're being clever, assuming I'm all brawn and no brains, easily manipulated by you, ridiculous!"

Ma Guangyuan continued to defend himself, "Mr. Chen, you should speak with evidence! You can't just accuse me based on your speculations."

Chen Xuan took a drag from his cigarette and sneered, "Although I don't have direct evidence, the theory holds under scrutiny!"

"This matter was not conceived in a moment of rashness; it was meticulously planned."

"In the morning, you deliberately came to tell me about matters concerning Ma Ting, as a kind of preemptive warning."

"Then Yang Leshan was kidnapped in the afternoon, calling me to the underground fighting ring, causing me to immediately associate it with Ma Ting. Subsequently, through the statements of those underground fighters, the blame is directly shifted to Ma Ting."

"Everything seems to fall into place naturally, and your plan was meticulous! But you underestimated me, I won't be played by you so easily."

Ma Guangyuan's eyes flickered as his mind fell into chaos, feeling the situation slipping out of control.

Still clenching his teeth, he held desperately to the last line of his psychological defense.

Chen Xuan glanced at Ma Guangyuan and continued, "In the morning, you came to me volunteering information about Ma Ting, and by the afternoon Yang Leshan was kidnapped to deal with me, which seems a bit too coincidental. This was your first flaw!"

"The second, if Ma Ting really wanted to deal with me, the person she should have kidnapped today should have been Su Linlang!"

Hmm?

Ma Guangyuan stared blankly at Chen Xuan, not knowing who Su Linlang was.

Chen Xuan sneered, "You don't know who Su Linlang is because you haven't been investigating me at all these past days. It was just through your son Ma Wenqiang that you knew I was close with Yang Leshan, so you targeted her."

"If Ma Ting had been behind all this, she would have investigated me first over these past two days and would have known I was with Su Linlang. Therefore, she wouldn't have targeted Yang Leshan, but would have kidnapped Su Linlang!"

"Ma Guangyuan, this is your second flaw!"

Upon hearing this, Ma Guangyuan began to tremble uncontrollably, his thoughts in utter disarray.

The last psychological defense was about to crumble.

"The third flaw is," Chen Xuan spoke again, "upon knowing Yang Leshan was kidnapped, the first thing I did was arrange for someone to find out where Ma Ting was, to watch her every move."

"The final result was that Ma Ting was having dinner with her friends tonight. If Ma Ting were behind this, would she still have such leisure tonight? She can immediately be ruled out!"

"Eliminate the wrong answer, and the remaining one is the correct answer! Someone is deliberately framing Ma Ting, and who stands to benefit the most from this?"

"Ma Guangyuan, what do you think?"
