Zhong Nianyao's interrogation made it impossible for Father Ling and Mrs. Ling to utter any words in their defense.
They were unwilling to believe Zhong Nianyao's words or to accept that their son was a murderer. However, deep down, they felt that everything Zhong Nianyao said was true.
Chu Xu, who was nearby, was completely baffled. Previously, he had only thought that Ling Chao was a selfish person, but now it appeared that Ling Chao was shockingly ruthless.
He didn't think Zhong Nianyao was lying at all, as there was no need for her to. Aside from the prior incident involving the pen spirit, Ling Chao and Zhong Nianyao had hardly interacted.
"I didn't, I didn't," Ling Chao protested while shaking his head and repeatedly defending himself, "I didn't do anything, I didn't kill anyone, I haven't harmed anyone, don't slander me here."
At that moment, he regretted seeking out Zhong Nianyao, not expecting her to know everything. But he absolutely wouldn't admit it.
