The Greatest Village Doctor In The World

Chapter 1361: Motive

Ling Feng didn’t say much. When Ah Tai and his men approached, the group got into the car.

They quickly arrived at their destination, and one of Ah Tai’s men pointed at the building in front and said, "Boss, that’s the Peng Group’s office location!"

Ling Feng looked over. The building had more than ten floors, and his divine sense scanned from the first floor to the top floor, discovering that there were quite a few staff members here, numbering in the thousands.

So he turned his head to look at Ah Tai: "There are a lot of people inside. Would finding out who Zhou Yan is be troublesome?"

"No, leave it to me!"

Ah Tai smiled and instructed his men: "Go now, Mr. Ling is in a bit of a hurry, so make it quick!"

"Got it!"

A few of them got out of the car, blended into the street crowd as if nothing was amiss, and soon disappeared.

In the car, only Ling Feng and Ah Tai were left. After a brief silence, Ah Tai asked curiously, "Mr. Ling, I know I shouldn’t ask, but I’m a bit curious, who is this Zhou Yan?"

Ling Feng smiled: "No need to hide it from you, here’s the situation..."

After listening, Ah Tai looked enlightened: "So that’s how it is!"

He then took out his phone and dialed a number.

After saying a few words in Cantonese, Ah Tai hung up the phone: "Mr. Ling, the Cheng Family is quite prestigious on Harbor Island. If this matter specifically targets Cheng Xiao, I’m afraid Zhou Yan alone couldn’t manage it!"

"You mean, someone is instructing him from behind?" Ling Feng asked.

"It’s very possible!"

Ah Tai nodded: "I’ve already got people looking into the Cheng Family’s assets, perhaps we’ll find something!"

"Very good!"

Ling Feng nodded approvingly.

The two waited in the car for about half an hour when Ah Tai’s phone rang.

After listening for a few minutes, he hung up and turned to Ling Feng: "The Cheng Family’s assets are not extensive; the cash and properties are not worth coveting. The only thing that might attract attention is the ancestral land left by old Cheng!"

"Oh? What ancestral land?" Ling Feng asked.

"My people have just found out that old Cheng had some ancestral property in Qianxi Province on the mainland, which he bought back about twenty years ago when Huaxia experienced economic rejuvenation," Ah Tai explained.

"What kind of land is it?" Ling Feng asked.

"It’s a forested area of about a thousand acres. If my guess is correct, the contract rights are now likely under Cheng Xiao’s name!" Ah Tai said.

Ling Feng responded with an acknowledging nod: "It seems the issue might be here!"

If it truly concerns certain benefits targeting Cheng Xiao, it could indeed be due to this piece of land.

"Soon, once we find Zhou Yan, we can get to the bottom of the problem!" Ah Tai nodded.

After a while, the phone rang again. He answered briefly and then hung up: "Mr. Ling, let’s go, we’ve found the person!"

"Great!"

Ling Feng followed Ah Tai out of the car. The two crossed the street directly to the opposite building!

Instead of entering through the main entrance, they went around to the parking lot and entered through the entrance there.

Going underground, taking a few turns, they arrived at the elevator leading upstairs.

At this time, several of Ah Tai’s men were already holding a young man, waiting.

This man was still struggling, his eyes flustered and nervous, shouting something loudly.

But being slight of build, he was no match for the burly men, so no matter how he struggled, he couldn’t escape their control.

Seeing Ling Feng and Ah Tai approach, the young man hesitated, noting their impressive demeanor, and immediately asked, "Who are you, and why are you looking for me!"

"Who I am is not important; what matters is that you need to answer some of our questions!" Ah Tai said in a deep voice.

His lean face combined with his cold gaze gave off a strong intimidation, making it clear he was someone formidable. The young man swallowed and stammered, "I, I don’t owe any loan sharks!"

"This has nothing to do with loan sharks! Let me ask you, are you Zhou Yan?" Ling Feng asked.

"Yes, who are you?" Zhou Yan asked.

"It’s not your place to question me!"

Ling Feng sneered, and continued to ask: "Where were you last night?"

"I...."

Zhou Yan hesitated, panic flickering in his eyes, then frowned and retorted: "What’s it got to do with you?"

"Smack!"

No sooner had he finished speaking than he was slapped across the face by one of Ah Tai’s men.

"Watch your attitude and speak properly!"

Zhou Yan: "...."

The slap nearly knocked him dizzy; golden stars danced before his eyes, and he was dazed.

"I’ll give you another chance. Answer my question!" Ling Feng said.

"I was having dinner at my sister’s house last night!"

Knowing he’d encountered a hard case and refusing to cooperate would only lead to more suffering, Zhou Yan quickly chose to comply.

Ling Feng nodded: "At your sister’s house, so you saw Cheng Xiao last night, didn’t you?"

Hearing this name, Zhou Yan’s legs went weak!

Ling Feng’s mind also brightened, understanding that his suspicions were correct; the mastermind was indeed this guy!

So he smiled slightly: "Alright, you don’t have to say anything. I’ll figure out the rest myself!"

He then grabbed Zhou Yan’s wrist and asked in a deep voice: "How did you plot against Cheng Xiao?"

Just as he spoke, an image appeared in Zhou Yan’s mind!

In the dead of night, he secretly used a spare key to open Cheng Xiao’s door and sneaked into her room!

Cheng Xiao, having gone to the sauna during the day, was sound asleep and didn’t notice anyone enter.

Zhou Yan didn’t perform any lewd acts but merely untied the necklace holding her jade pendant, trying to remove it. Unfortunately, her shoulder pinned it down, so he couldn’t succeed.

Standing still for a moment, he didn’t try again but pulled out a black bottle, opening the cap and dripping its contents onto Cheng Xiao’s hair before quietly leaving the room.

Seeing this scene, Ling Feng coldly asked, "What substance was in that black bottle?"

"Ah?"

Had he not been held down, Zhou Yan might have collapsed to the ground!

Looking into Ling Feng’s cold eyes, he asked tremblingly, "How do you know....."

"I just do!"

Ling Feng sneered, already aware that the liquid was called Soul Detachment Water, given to Zhou Yan by an old Taoist with a goatee.

Then Ling Feng changed the topic: "The Soul Detachment Water is no longer significant. Tell me, why did the goateed Taoist have you harm Cheng Xiao?"

"...."

Zhou Yan was completely bewildered; he hadn’t said a word, yet Ling Feng knew it all?

Ah Tai and his men were also curious. Ling Feng merely asked questions, Zhou Yan didn’t speak, yet he was gradually approaching the truth. How did he manage that?

After asking a few more questions, Ling Feng looked back at Ah Tai: "We can move to the next place now!"
