Daily Intelligence System: Don't Kill Me, Honey!

Chapter 324: Chapter 137: The Death of Peng Shizhong!_3

Watching the disbelief in Peng Shizhong’s eyes as he died, along with the clear tear stains trailing down his cheeks.

Chen Jie couldn’t help but sigh; his adoptive father, although sometimes confused, was exceedingly good to him. Seeing the eyes of his adoptive father looking at him, Chen Jie’s heart soured, and he couldn’t help but let tears fall again, ”Adoptive father, rest assured, you won’t die in obscurity, I will avenge you!”

Chen Jie waited, knowing that since someone had arranged this, they would definitely make a move against him at this time.

He also wanted to see who was behind the plot, though he already had a suspicion that this matter couldn’t be unconnected with Feng Xuan.

Thinking this, he then saw Peng Shizhong’s several adoptive sons arrive, Lu Rong and Zhou Chu, who upon seeing the tragically deceased Peng Shizhong, immediately threw themselves forward.

”Adoptive father!!”

Following that, with eyes brimming with tears, Peng Fu also rushed in, seeing Peng Shizhong lying dead with his eyes still open, he knelt on the ground with a thud, ”Master!!”

Tears poured down like rain.

At that moment, Feng Xuan finally arrived, bursting into the room, his face blank, and upon seeing Peng Shizhong’s body,

immediately threw himself forward.

”Adoptive father, adoptive father, what happened to you, what happened!”

Feng Xuan cried heart-wrenchingly, far more sorrowful than Lu Rong and Zhou Chu.

Seeing this scene, Nan Batian glanced at Qin Ying, who said, ”Chief Zhang, you’re just in time, please help us examine this.”

Upon hearing this, Zhang Liye’s face slowly lost its shock, and the professionalism of an arrest officer came to the fore, the death of a Thirteen Grand Protector at the Spring Breeze Theater was a significant enough issue to make him feel troubled.

Zhang Liye stepped forward to examine the body.

”Wu Hong, take notes!”

At this, Wu Hong glanced at Chen Jie, who, despite his grief, seemed composed, thought inwardly with concern, ’Could it have been Jiu Si?’

Thinking this, he immediately stepped forward to record.

”Limbs, facial features, throat area, no apparent external injuries!”

Zhang Liye inspected carefully.

Meanwhile, Nan Batian turned towards Huadie, who was sitting collapsed on the ground not far away, ”You are Huadie.”

”Ah? Yes, I’m Huadie.”

”How did Master Peng die?”

”I, I don’t know.”

Huadie said this with a pitiable expression, and Nan Batian responded, ”Don’t know?”

”The man died in your room, and you tell me you don’t know?”

”Master, master, I really don’t know. I was having heartburn at the time, and Mr. Peng came to see me, but after a short while, he asked me to find Chen Jiusi, then he entered here himself, I didn’t dare enter to listen to their conversation, stayed by the door for a while, then I heard Mr. Peng roar, ’Traitor!’”

”Then I came in, and, and saw Mr. Peng like this, sob sob... I really don’t know anything else!”

Huadie said tearfully.

Hearing these words, Nan Batian frowned, ”Traitor? It seems Master was arguing with someone before he died. Who is this ’Traitor’ referring to?”

Qin Ying spoke up from the side, ”Who else could it be?”

Saying this, he looked towards Chen Jie.

Upon hearing these words, Elder Liu responded, ”Hey, hey, just because you say it’s him, it’s him? Old Peng has many sons, does it have to refer to Jiu Si?”

”Besides, everyone knows Jiu Si was the adoptive son Old Peng valued most. The ’Traitor’ he mentioned may not necessarily be Jiu Si.”

”Heh, since when does valuing someone exclude them from being a traitor? I’ve heard it said that Peng Shizhong’s second son was killed by Chen Jiusi, someone who kills even his own brothers, what kind of good person could that be?”

Qin Ying said with a sneer.

Nan Batian said, ”Qin Ying, don’t speak without evidence.”

Following that, Nan Batian looked towards the two guards, Ying Er and Ying San kneeling on the ground, ”You two were personally protecting my brother today, was there anything unusual?”

Ying Er and Ying San replied, ”Gang Leader, we, we...”

At this moment, Peng Fu also turned his head and said, ”Speak!”

”Yes, there was nothing unusual today, except that Fifth Master tried several times to make contact with Miss Huadie, and even had a conflict with the Hall Master over this, who even spoke harshly in person.”

”What harsh words?”

Nan Batian and the others looked at him.

”Hall Master said Miss Huadie was his mother, and warned him not to think about her.”

What!!

Upon hearing this, everyone’s eyes widened, the adoptive son competing with his adoptive father over a woman?

This is just too melodramatically troublesome!

”You two shut up, my Fifth Brother is upright and honorable, he’s not the kind of person you describe!”

At this moment, Feng Xuan angrily shouted, then continued, ”My Fifth Brother, a prodigy who has just started in Xiantao Town a few months ago, became the Manager of White Tiger Hall, his prospects were limitless.”

”I and Third Brother also intended to hand over power to him, adoptive father had intended to cultivate him, just a dozen more years, when adoptive father grew old, he could let him become the true White Tiger Hall Master, he would not harm adoptive father over a woman, impossible, absolutely impossible. You two bastards, are you deliberately framing my Fifth Brother!”

Feng Xuan angrily pointed at Ying Er and Ying San, scolding them.

”I tell you, although my adoptive father is dead, as his eldest son, I will not allow you to slander my Fifth Brother!”

”We dare not, we’re only stating the facts, many people have heard it, Old Master, please discern the truth!”

At this moment, Qin Ying snidely remarked, ”Heh heh... becoming the Manager of White Tiger Hall in just a month, yet it would take over a decade to truly become the Hall Master, I would feel quite unbalanced, if killing Old Peng directly made him the Hall Master, why wait ten, twenty years.”

”Master Qin, you...”

Feng Xuan looked at Qin Ying, who looked back and said, ”Feng Xuan, I know you want to look after your Fifth Brother, but our Fishing Guild’s White Tiger Hall Master cannot die in obscurity like this, this matter must be resolved!”
