Chapter 869 - 847: I Forgot to Tell You Too
"This, how is this possible?"
This time, it was Lu Ruiyang's turn to be in disbelief. He looked at Ren Feng standing at the door, as if he were seeing a mirage.
"No, it's impossible, didn't you go to Yangjin?"
Lu Ruiyang's words were full of horror. He stared at Ren Feng as if he had seen a ghost, and the butler beside him was equally on high alert, sensing a suffocating aura emanating from Ren Feng.
Strong, this person is very strong!
"Feng!" Lu Duo'er was ecstatic upon seeing Ren Feng suddenly appear. After a moment of shock, her face was filled with joy!
Zhao Manrou felt the same, inexplicably relieved by Ren Feng's appearance, as if surviving a catastrophe.
"What's so impossible?" Ren Feng said calmly. "If you can hide so deeply, why can't I appear here?"
The people Lu Ruiyang brought were all staring at Ren Feng, yet Ren Feng seemed oblivious to them, walking calmly toward Lu Duo'er.
A subordinate in front couldn't hold back, and swung his weapon at Ren Feng. But before anyone saw Ren Feng make a move, the attacker was already flying through the air and crashed violently against the wall beside him.
Just like an automatic rebound, it directly intimidated the surrounding people.
The butler's pupils constricted, his eyes not daring to relax.
"Mr. Lu, he is very strong!"
The butler said beside Lu Ruiyang.
Lu Ruiyang stared at Ren Feng, "You never went to Yangjin?"
"That's right, we turned back halfway."
Bai Baichuan also appeared at the door, still armed as before. Looking at Lu Ruiyang standing aside, his expression was extremely calm.
"Let me also tell you, those people inside the manor have already been dealt with, leaving only this room now."
Lu Ruiyang was shocked inside. He looked at the faces of Bai Baichuan and Ren Feng, which were as gloomy as ever.
"Lu Ruiyang, you're a schemer, hiding so deeply." Ren Feng said calmly.
"Then how did you discover me?" Lu Ruiyang stared at Ren Feng, "I laid out everything so well, how did you find me?"
"You're right, you set everything up very well. At first, it was impossible to guess who it was. Moreover, you usually presented yourself with another good-person face. Who could think of it?" Ren Feng's words carried a hint of sarcasm.
"Later, when we were attacked in Kechakhan Town, and after returning, Lu Xingye was poisoned, and those assassins we captured were killed in secret. To achieve this, three things were needed: first, knowledge of Lu Yucheng's schedule; second, being present the night before the event during the capture; third, being able to mobilize one's own subordinates."
"This still doesn't prove it's me."
"True, it doesn't prove anything, at best suspicion. At that time, I suspected the three of you, and your alibis were all solid, yielding no results. But by chance, I saw him."
Ren Feng pointed his finger at the butler.
Neither Lu Ruiyang nor the butler spoke.
"Since it was the butler, his authority was obviously substantial, making him the most suspicious," Ren Feng stated calmly. "But his position naturally did not meet all three requirements, and the butler being close to you made me suspect you, but you were smart, you played a bitter trick!"
Lu Ruiyang stared at Ren Feng, his face growing increasingly grim.
"All your calculations should have been planned before I arrived—how to eliminate Lu Yucheng, how to eliminate Lu Wangjiang—it's all part of your scheming, but my appearance disrupted your plan, and the chance of exposing yourself became greater."
Ren Feng continued, "So this bitter trick was to have your own assassin come to kill you, thereby removing suspicion. If I'm not wrong, the one who acted against you that night was this butler, right?"
As soon as Ren Feng finished speaking, a sudden gust of wind attacked the stationary butler.
The supposedly stationary butler suddenly moved, pulling out a long sword with his right hand and slashing at the gust in an instant.
Shatter!
The solid wood chair's back was sliced in half!
Lu Duo'er and the others were all shocked to the core, but Ren Feng said calmly, "Not bad, this bitter trick was indeed impressive. Mr. Lu, this butler's mastery of swordsmanship is extraordinary; if the sword had deviated slightly, you would have been killed. Thus, I was forced to dismiss my suspicions of you."
"Then why do you suspect me again?" Lu Ruiyang asked coldly.
"Very simple, you were in too much of a hurry," Ren Feng said calmly, "You feared your plan failing, so you had to rush. If I'm not mistaken, you worried about Lu Xingye waking up and exposing you."
Lu Ruiyang's face grew darker.
"That night, we heard shouting and arrived at Lu Yucheng's room, found him already down. He must've been stabbed beforehand, then Lu Wangjiang was drawn to Lu Yucheng's room, becoming a scapegoat. The real culprit, this butler, opened the window and fled."
Bai Baichuan nodded, "That's why, in such cold weather, the window was open, and there were two footprints on the ground."
Lu Ruiyang laughed, "Very impressive, but there's still one inconsistency: why would my dear brother willingly become my scapegoat?"
"Very simple, because you held his secret!" Ren Feng said coldly, "A shameful and disgraceful secret."
Lu Ruiyang's pupils shrank, silent for the moment.
"Feng, what secret?" Lu Duo'er anxiously asked from the side.
Ren Feng shook his head, "I promised Lu Wangjiang I wouldn't say it. Lu Ruiyang, I can only admit your scheming was indeed brilliant. If it weren't for my appearance, if it weren't for the urgency, you definitely would have succeeded."
"Yes, I believe so too." Lu Ruiyang laughed, "You're very smart, maybe even smarter than me."
"It's not that I'm smart, but you're too foolish." Ren Feng shook his head slightly, "Lu Yucheng ended up in the hospital, Lu Wangjiang in prison, but all of this felt too unnatural, leaving only you as the suspect."
"So what, I forgot to tell you, my elder brothers are likely already dead by now." Lu Ruiyang laughed loudly.
"I also forgot to mention, before you sent people to the prison and hospital, the Dragon Team had already gotten there first." Ren Feng said calmly.
"What?" At this moment, Lu Ruiyang was in sheer disbelief.
"Fourth Brother." A calm voice suddenly sounded at the door.
Lu Ruiyang's body trembled, turned around, and saw Lu Wangjiang standing there calmly, with the formidable soldier by his side.
