Chapter 1778 - 1777: Intricately Interwoven
Bai Wenyu looked up, "He is my distant nephew, Bai Xiaoguang."
"Oh."
Ling Feng listened and seemed to suddenly realize something, as if he understood the connection.
So, after thinking for a moment, he said to Bai Wenyu, "Uncle, why don’t you ask this person what exactly he’s up to. I won’t get involved!"
"Alright, thank you!"
Bai Wenyu nodded, giving him a grateful look.
Ling Feng then turned his head to look at Han Wancheng, "Boss, should we excuse ourselves?"
"Might as well!"
Han Wancheng nodded and then said to An Shengli and his son, "Come, let’s head back to the room first!"
An Shengli and his son initially wanted to watch the commotion. After all, they had always been on bad terms with the Bai Family, and it was good to have the chance to hear some inside information from their family.
But seeing the looks from Han Wancheng and Ling Feng, the two of them quickly followed back into the room.
This three-story building, while not small, was bustling with many guests, making the inside a bit chaotic. Moreover, the corpse of Master Hongye was in the next room, giving people a strange feeling.
After sitting down, Han Wancheng looked at Ling Feng, "You kid, wherever you go, things happen!"
Ling Feng felt wronged upon hearing this and quickly said, "Boss, you can’t say that. It’s as if trouble wouldn’t occur if I weren’t here. Do you think things would have ended well today if I wasn’t here?"
"That’s true, but having a nice meal with old friends was disrupted by you!" Han Wancheng said.
Ling Feng chuckled, glancing at the An family father and son.
The two now looked awkward, and it was unclear what was on their minds.
Ling Feng thought to himself, "Your suspicions haven’t been cleared yet. That monk might reveal the real mastermind soon. I hope it’s not you!"
Although the two previously seemed surprised, as if unaware of what happened, Ling Feng didn’t believe them.
There was an unexplained problem: why did Master Hongye, after being exposed, choose to flee to the An family instead of somewhere else?
Just based on that, the An family couldn’t easily clear their suspicions!
Han Wancheng also realized this, so he looked at An Shengli and asked, "Hey, Old An, what was that old monk doing here?"
"I... I don’t know. Although I have some relations with him, it’s not to the extent of helping him escape, and I don’t have the capability!" An Shengli said.
Seeing his expression didn’t look like he was lying, Han Wancheng nodded, "That’s strange. Unfortunately, the person is dead, so we can’t ask for the answer!"
At this time, An Wanxing said, "Maybe he thought my father was highly respected and wanted him to mediate, to avoid getting beaten up by Mr. Ling?"
Ling Feng looked at him, "What do you mean, as if I’m very violent, you were the one who wanted to hit me first!"
"Stop arguing!"
Han Wancheng interrupted, then squinted his eyes, thought for a moment, and turned to Ling Feng, "This matter seems like an internal family conflict, but there must be hidden truths. Let’s head back to the city together later!"
"I’m fine with that, but Boss, you stay back and chat with friends. I’ll handle it!" Ling Feng said.
"No need, with things like this, I’m in no mood!"
Han Wancheng said, looking out the window, "They’ve asked enough questions, take the person to the local precinct!"
"Alright."
Ling Feng nodded, got up, and followed him out.
Zhang He’s in-laws didn’t look good, and neither did Bai Ling.
Evidently, from what Bai Xiaoguang revealed, they now knew the cause of the events and why he acted against the Bai family.
Ling Feng didn’t inquire directly; instead, he said to Zhang He, "Boss wants the person taken to the precinct for a thorough interrogation!"
"Alright, use my car." Zhang He nodded.
Ling Feng smiled, "No need, I’ll drive over. You go comfort the elders and your sister-in-law!"
"Not necessary, as long as the person’s okay. There’s more to this, and I won’t rest until I get to the bottom of it!"
Zhang He said, then lifted Bai Xiaoguang and headed straight for his car.
Upon approach, he noticed the car’s bumper was cracked and mottled, clearly having just hit something!
Looking back to see Ling Feng avoiding eye contact, Zhang He shouted, annoyed, "You have to pay for this car!"
"Boss, which car shall we take? There are two more people!"
Ling Feng pretended not to hear, looking at Han Wancheng.
"I drove over. You be the driver, and put both in the back seat!" Han Wancheng said.
"Okay!"
Ling Feng nodded and tossed the two people into the car as if they were sacks.
By then, Han Wancheng had spoken with the An family father and son, and they were hastily making arrangements with their guests before driving off.
Ling Feng got in the car, started it, and looked at Han Wancheng in the passenger seat, "Boss, are these two coming with us?"
"They’re somewhat connected to the matter. We’ll investigate before deciding!" Han Wancheng said sternly.
"Got it!"
Ling Feng didn’t ask further, driving out of the courtyard.
Several cars followed, forming a convoy back to the city.
Over half an hour later, the car arrived at the local precinct.
Ling Feng had already recalled that the precinct’s deputy director was Joanna, who had previously worked in the north with Miao Lanlan and Xun Qianqian, and was now helping out here.
Sure enough, as the cars entered the precinct’s yard, Joanna quickly came out, looking surprised to see Ling Feng, Han Wancheng, and Zhang He.
Ling Feng smiled at her, "Surprised, aren’t you?"
"More than surprised. Just received the report, and now you three big shots are here?" Joanna asked.
"It’s a long story. You’ll know soon!"
Ling Feng laughed, pulling everyone out, "Where’s the interrogation room?"
"Follow me!"
Joanna asked no more, turning and leading the way.
Seeing the An father and son looking curiously around, Ling Feng said to them, "You guys go to the reception room first, we’ll talk to you later!"
"Oh."
The father and son dared not say much, hurriedly nodding.
The three were sent to separate interrogation rooms, with Han Wancheng personally questioning them, naturally leaving Ling Feng and others no room for neglect as they followed closely.
The three were quite fortunate, as not everyone got such a powerful lineup questioning them!
The first to be interrogated was naturally Bai Xiaoguang.
Han Wancheng sat down, looked at him, and went straight to the point, "Where did your abilities and storage space come from?"
"My master gave them to me." Bai Xiaoguang replied.
"Who is your master?" Han Wancheng continued to ask.
Bai Xiaoguang paused, "Master Hongye!"
