Chapter 1613 - 1612: Truly Enraged
Chapter 1613 - 1612: Truly Enraged
Ling Feng was truly angry.
Hua Duoduo and the others were making a scene at the entrance of his company; this was bad for business!
Seeing his face turn cold, Hua Duoduo’s heart trembled, but she still forced herself to say, "Ling, don’t be so arrogant. The strength of Hua Family Village is beyond your imagination. You will pay for your actions!"
"Fine, I’ll be waiting!"
Ling Feng sneered and continued, "Although Hua Family Village is formidable, I’ve already said that starting this year, our Shiliu Village will surpass you, so you’d better keep a low profile!"
"With just your few acres of vegetable land?"
Hua Duoduo also sneered, "Don’t think I don’t know, Shiliu Village plus the surrounding villages combined aren’t as large as one of our factories. To be honest, we are already planning to upgrade to a city-level area. What do you have to compare with us?"
"Is that so? But that has nothing to do with us. I only want our village’s income to far exceed yours!"
Ling Feng sneered again and said, "The bet is still valid, and there’s still more than half a year left. Just wait and see!"
Hua Duoduo didn’t believe Ling Feng’s words one bit.
She knew exactly how many enterprises and factories Hua Family Village had and how much profit they generated annually. So to say Shiliu Village would earn ten times more was pure fantasy!
But before she could speak to refute him, Ling Feng’s phone suddenly rang.
After seeing Ling Feng answer, Hua Duoduo’s eyes widened as she listened to his conversation with the caller!
Seeing Ling Feng about to leave, she hurriedly reached out and grabbed his sleeve, "Wait!"
"What?"
Ling Feng had just received a call from Zhou Yi, saying that the old man had been found, so he was in a hurry to catch him!
Now being held back by Hua Duoduo, he felt even more impatient.
"I heard what you said. Has the person who killed my sister been found?" Hua Duoduo asked.
"Yes, what about it?" Ling Feng asked.
"Then take me to see. I want to know what’s going on!" Hua Duoduo said.
Ling Feng looked at her, "Take you?"
Then he gave a disdainful smile, "You came to the wrong place, causing trouble at my home instead of going to the crime scene, and now you want to go? Why should I help you!"
"..."
His words left Hua Duoduo speechless, dumbfounded.
As Ling Feng turned to leave, she could only stomp her foot in anger, helpless.
Ling Feng returned to Zhou Yi’s apartment; it was already past 3 PM.
Upon meeting, he immediately asked, "What’s the situation now?"
"The old man has been found, but he is dead, and his death was gruesome; he was clearly murdered!"
Seeing Ling Feng’s disappointment, Zhou Yi continued, "But don’t worry, although the old man is dead, he left clues behind. Let’s head to the bureau and have a look first."
"Okay!"
Upon hearing that there were still clues, Ling Feng became hopeful again, and he followed Zhou Yi downstairs.
The journey was silent, and once at the security bureau, the two headed straight for the evidence room.
There, through the staff’s account, Ling Feng learned the sequence of events.
The old man had run into trouble on his way out of the provincial city. He had already left the city but broke down not far away.
He abandoned the car without hesitation and fled on foot.
Unfortunately, a few hundred meters off the highway, he was killed in a grove.
The body was mangled, the death incredibly horrific, and it’s unknown what kind of inhuman torture he endured.
When the security found the body, after surveying the scene, they discovered a wax pill in the grass, inside which was a piece of paper.
Since the text was written in Miao script, its content was being deciphered and would soon be revealed.
After listening, Ling Feng turned to Zhou Yi, "The note must uncover the identity of the mastermind?"
"It should. The old man’s identity has been revealed, his personal documents, finances, important property papers, everything was left in the car. Yet he carried a wax pill, which says a lot!" Zhou Yi said.
Ling Feng nodded, "That’s true!"
By evening, the note’s content was deciphered by a language expert.
Upon reading it, Ling Feng furrowed his brow!
Zhou Yi was also taken aback, "How is the Holy Light Society involved?"
The note left by the old man indeed accused someone. Anticipating his murder to silence him, he had prepared an alternate plan.
The note succinctly concluded that the real culprit behind the murders of Li Mao and Hua Yingying is Peter from the Holy Light Society.
Ling Feng frowned, sneering, "The Holy Light Society showing up is no surprise; they are targeting me!"
"Their methods this time are different," Zhou Yi noted.
"A frontal assault failed, so this time they’re applying different tactics, using a proxy for murder!"
Ling Feng smiled, "This Peter is no ordinary person, orchestrating the deaths of the Li Family and Hua Family members to frame me. Quite the trick!"
"That’s clever?"
Zhou Yi smirked, "Don’t kid, his methods are still too immature and can’t withstand scrutiny!"
"The approach is okay, but the execution had issues."
Ling Feng chuckled and continued, "He’s a foreigner, after all, only grasping the superficial wisdom of Huaxia people!"
"You’re pretty close with Catherine. What about this Peter, maybe she knows," Zhou Yi suggested.
"Yes, I thought the same." Ling Feng nodded, "But there’s no rush, let’s go home first!"
The two left the local division, then drove back to the apartment building. By then, it was dark.
After going back to his room, Ling Feng took out his phone and dialed Catherine’s number.
Just like last time, there was no response for a long time, still unable to reach her!
Ling Feng had no choice but to give up for the moment, thinking she’d contact him once she saw his calls.
He stayed in the apartment without leaving.
After having dinner with Zhou Yi, the phone still hadn’t rung.
Ling Feng felt something was off, wondering if something had happened to Catherine.
After some consideration, he called Cheng Xiao.
Previously, Catherine had met and apologized to Cheng Xiao, and the two had become good friends.
Since Ling Feng couldn’t get in touch with Catherine, he wanted to ask Cheng Xiao if she knew Catherine’s whereabouts.
After the inquiry, Cheng Xiao informed Ling Feng that Catherine hadn’t contacted her for three days.
Hearing this, Ling Feng was even more surprised, feeling that Catherine might be in trouble.
Three days ago was precisely when the monster suddenly appeared. Could there be a connection between the two events?
