Falling Overnight novel Chapter 77

Hearing that, Edgar was lost in thought.

He had expected this day to come. He had thought that after he steadied himself, he would let out his identity of the leader of the dark shadow group.

It was well known that Hengli Group engaged in real estate, medicine and food industry. But medicine and food were mostly engaged.

It was said that more than ten years ago, in the Shadow Group of America, they became famous because of drug dealing and their force was one of the best in America.

After all, the CEO of Hengli Group could be regarded as the member of Shadow, so the medicine and food of Hengli would be badly affected.

Those suppliers who cooperated with the Hengli Group didn't dare to go against the Shadow, but they might terminate their cooperation with the Hengli Group to publicize their justice.

After a long time of silence, Edgar finally made an incredible decision after deep consideration.

"Edward, I decide to give up the position..." Edgar raised his head and looked at Edward.

"Edgar, you! What did you say? "

Ignoring his astonishment, Edgar continued, "I underestimated that man's ability."

Edward was confused. "Edgar, what are you talking about?"

Edgar was lost in thought for a moment. Then, he stood up and walked to the window, looking at the outside view. Anyone who was familiar with him could know that he was thinking.

"Do you know what clues dad left for me?"

Hearing that, Edward shook his head all of a sudden and said, "What?"

Edgar said in a cold voice, "it's Edward!

"What? Me?! " Edward was surprised, and then seemed to react.

He suddenly stood up from the sofa and asked, "You mean, I've killed Mr. Scott, right?"

A hint of fury rose from the look of surprise. Edward couldn't believe that his so-called good friend even suspected him.

Edgar seemed to be making a statement. His calm tone did not change, nor did he care if Edward was angry.

"Yes, I saw you enter the Mu family when I sent someone to follow you earlier. This morning, in the suburbs, I interrogated a fake Edward. I once thought that you really betrayed me, which pained me, but I promise you that I just want to know the reason."

Speaking of this, Edgar turned around, looked at him carefully, and continued in a calm tone, "but, with his words showing some loopholes, I finally ensured that he was not you.

"That person is very sly. He took advantage of my dad's habits and my weakness to arrange this scheme, which is against me, also against you."

"Against me?" He was confused.

"He doubted your identity!" Edgar said coldly.

"Does he know who I am?" Looking at Edgar, Edward asked.

Hearing that, Edgar nodded in confirmation. "He is trying to alienate you from me, which means that he is afraid that you will threaten his position by cooperating with me," he said

You suspected my real identity, and kept me and you away from each other. You were notorious for that. Suddenly, an idea came to Edward.

"Edgar, do you mean that the man is him?"

"Yes, it's him." His consciousness was struggling. The mysterious man was very familiar with him, as if he knew what Edgar was thinking.

As time went on, Edgar believed that the man was an acquaintance of him.

Then he took a step forward and said, "Edward, please forgive me. You know I've been suspecting you. Since three years ago, I don't want to trust anyone, including myself. Sometimes, I really detest myself. I have done something nasty, but I pretend to be a decent gentleman to the public."

Then Edward suddenly interrupted, "Edgar, don't say that. You are not an unpardonable person. Since you became the main owner of Shadow, you have canceled drug dealing. You have never sold drugs, and your daily expenses in the Shadow in the past few years have been entirely earned by you after you took over Hengli Group. You have provided us your private money."

He knew how much hardships Edgar had gone through in the past few years.

"Edgar, you are trying your best to hide your evil intentions from us. But in order to prevent the Shadow from collapsing, you are said to be drug dealing. In fact, that's flour. You successfully took over another Gang, and you also helped our men for drug rehabilitation."

Edward's eyes were red. He knew it all the time.

Taking a look at Edgar, who was standing in front of him at the moment, Edward felt a pang of pain in his heart. Obviously, it was because of his own efforts that the Shadow was completely changed, but Edgar himself didn't mention a word about it.

And what did those suppliers who called themselves "justice" do? They are ignorant.

After a long pause, Edgar finally said something, "Edward, I'm the reason why Hengli Group is in trouble. Although the Shadow has legally developed, we know that it was based on drug dealing, which is undoubted. But now, they have exaggerated it. "

After saying that, Edgar strode to the desk. He sat down, took out some documents from the drawer of the desk and opened them at will. After confirming that there was nothing missing, he moved them to the corner of the desk.

"This is the evidence I found for Ivy. After I left, you helped me to get her innocence back.

Hearing that, Edward shook his head desperately. He refused, "Edgar, what are you doing? Why don't you do it yourself? "

A tinge of sadness flashed across Edgar's deep eyes. "I don't have much time left!"

Finally, he gave Edward an explanation.

Hearing that, a glimmer of pain rose in Edward's heart, but he still showed an expression of anger. "Edgar, are you so coward just because you don't want to live anymore? What about the murderer who killed your father? What about the murderer who poisoned you? Have you accepted all this in silence? Are you such a coward?

Edgar frowned and shook his head. He looked at Edward, knowing that clearly he had misunderstood him.

"No, you're wrong. I'm not making a concession. Of course I can't stand to be slaughtered, nor can I walk away."

Later, Edward heard Edgar groan, "Since they have made such great efforts to kill me and I have done so much for it, of course I have to prepare well for it. I will fight back when I am in desperation."

Edward's eyes suddenly lit up. It seemed that he had thought of something. He walked up to Edgar and asked, "Edgar, do you mean..."
