Chapter 865 843: So It Was You
In just a few days, the entire Lu Family fell into a cloud of suspicion.
At this moment, Ren Feng also didn't know who it could be. It seemed like anyone could be possible, yet no one seemed likely. The feeling was truly unbearable.
Lu Duo'Er's little face was also filled with worry. Ren Feng comforted her, "It's okay, we'll find the culprit."
"Mm." Lu Duo'Er nodded.
Ren Feng and Bai Baichuan were walking in the courtyard again.
"Is the butler being watched?" Ren Feng asked.
"Rest assured, he's being watched."
Bai Baichuan frowned slightly, "If the Lu Family can't stabilize, it will be like a fire in the backyard."
"What's worse is that this insider might very well be colluding with the Kachin Rebel Army. Otherwise, they wouldn't know our jade gambling location."
"Do you have any suspects now?" Bai Baichuan asked.
Ren Feng shook his head, "I suspect everyone but can't be sure. Without adequate evidence, the opponent is very cunning, unless they leave some trace."
"We have to play it by ear; we can only delay the action against Kachin Rebel."
Time flowed slowly, around Lu Ruiyang's room, numerous Lu Family bodyguards were stationed. Lu Xingye's room was similarly guarded, and Zhao Manrou and Lu Duo'Er stayed close together.
Night fell quickly, and everyone returned to their rooms. However, Bai Baichuan and others remained outside to see if the murderer would strike again.
Lu Yucheng also returned to his room, feeling somewhat exhausted. The events of the past few days made him feel unprecedentedly weary.
"This is even more exhausting than negotiating business deals." Lu Yucheng smiled wryly, his eyes still filled with concern.
Arrangements for Wu and Lei's matters were going down soon, accepting their forces and mines, but this would also cause other members to feel uneasy, so better to carve out a part and lease it out.
Lu Yucheng sat there, tapping the table, thinking of solutions he figured out moments ago, but his now troubled mind was focused on the current state of the Lu Family.
Who on earth is the mole?
Just then, the door outside was pushed open.
...
Ren Feng and Bai Baichuan stayed outside, each selecting a spot where they could observe the entire estate, just like Fei Long and others.
"Anything happening?"
"No."
A simple dialogue persisted for several hours.
"Ha!" Mad Soldier yawned on the communication line. "Captain, is this necessary? What if he doesn't make a move tonight?"
"He will act." Ren Feng said into the earpiece, "Based on the actions these past few days, the opponent seems very urgent, otherwise so many incidents wouldn't happen one after another."
"We can deduce, what if I hadn't returned with Duo'Er, what consequences would occur?" Ren Feng's eyes gleamed sharply. "Duo'Er would likely die en route, Lu Xingye might be poisoned or killed, Lu Yucheng could also die in Kechakhan Town and the Lu Family would be in shambles."
"So, the ones who would benefit ultimately are just two people," Bai Baichuan said, "Lu Wangjiang and Lu Ruiyang."
"Benefiting from it is mainly those two, but other suspected parties shouldn't be excluded, since all three wear masks; I can't fathom them." Ren Feng said, "Like Lu Yucheng, I tend to perceive a higher possibility from him."
"Captain, Lu Wangjiang entered Lu Yucheng's room!"
Whale reminded.
"Got it, keep watching."
"Has the Kachin Rebel Army found a solution?" Ren Feng asked.
"No. I planned to send Whale and the others to scout the routes, looking for better paths. It's all tropical jungle over there. To sneak in unnoticed is highly challenging, once we alert them, Kachin Rebel hides, we can't catch them."
Ren Feng nodded, "No hurry, let's resolve the Lu Family's issue first."
Everyone waited, half an hour passed, and Whale frowned slightly.
"Captain, something seems amiss inside the room."
"What is it?"
"The side window is open."
At once, everyone's attention focused on Lu Yucheng's room, now it's almost winter, and at night, it's cold, normally people would close windows!
"Does anyone recall if that window was open or closed earlier?" Bai Baichuan frowned and asked, but the communication line had no response.
"Let's go!" Ren Feng exclaimed.
Everyone realized and rushed towards Lu Yucheng's room.
Arriving outside the room, Ren Feng reached out to push, just by a little force, the door opened directly, instantly unsettling Ren Feng.
Moreover, the slight margin open suddenly brought a breeze of blood scent.
Such a strong, fresh smell of blood, like it just flowed out.
Everyone was shocked, rushing straight inside.
"What?"
Seeing the scene, Mad Soldier and others gasped in surprise, "What's going on here?"
The atmosphere was chaotic, objects on the table scattered messily on the ground, blood was on the table, the chair also bore stains, and a blood-stained hand languidly rested upon it.
Ren Feng felt heavy-hearted. He saw Lu Wangjiang sitting not far away, staring blankly at the ground, in his hands a knife—a blood-dripping knife, blood still dripping.
Behind the table, on the wine-colored carpet, there was fresh blood mixing in, at this moment, the wine color looked bloody and vibrant.
Lu Yucheng fell to the ground, his eyes open, throat seemingly still bleeding, struggling with all his might.
Ren Feng rushed forward, his hands infused with True Qi, directly covering his throat, immediately pouring True Qi into Lu Yucheng.
Whatever happens, Lu Yucheng must survive.
Bai Baichuan looked at Lu Wangjiang, who sat immobile, with a cold gleam in his eye.
"Go, bring the first-aid kits, also fetch silver needles, alcohol, hot water, towels, be quick!"
Ren Feng instructed Fei Long and others.
Fei Long moved immediately, while Ren Feng, both hands pressed on Lu Yucheng, continued without raising his head, "Quickly call for an ambulance."
In this situation, he can only ensure Lu Yucheng pulls through temporarily, ultimately needing hospital assistance, especially blood transfusion.
Ironman also came to aid, Bai Baichuan, frowning, looked at the motionless Lu Wangjiang and said to Mad Soldier, "Summon other members of the Lu Family."
Lu Wangjiang appeared lost, eyes filled with disbelief.
Bai Baichuan coldly questioned, "Was this an accidental murder?"
Lu Wangjiang didn't respond.
Before long, others arrived, including a supported Lu Ruiyang.
Everyone seeing this scene was stunned, Lu Duo'Er, Zhao Manrou, and other women couldn't believe their eyes.
A woman even screamed before fainting right away.
Lu Ruiyang's face displayed varied emotions, shock, anger, confusion, surprise.
"It was actually you!"
