Chapter 176: So It Was He Who Administered the Poison

"That is because you were poisoned!"

Lin Feng said irritably, "You were struck by a very powerful poison called Soul-Lost Fern Poison, one of the Ten Great Strange Poisons in the world! If I hadn't been lucky enough to obtain the Nine Sun Soul Returning Grass to help you neutralize the toxins in your body, I'm afraid you would never have woken up in this lifetime!"

As soon as Lin Feng said this, Lin Wei was so frightened that her pretty face turned pale.

"Xiao Wei, let me ask you, did you eat or drink anything while at the Han Family?" Lin Feng pressed.

Lin Wei shook her head subconsciously.

Could it be that Xiao Wei was not actually poisoned at the Han Family?

Lin Feng frowned, unable to make sense of it in his heart, but just then Lin Wei suddenly remembered something and said, "Oh, right, Brother, when you went to the Han Family to save me last night, a man forced a bottle of water down my throat... That man seemed to be called Han Jian!"

So it was he who poisoned Xiao Wei!

A ball of raging fire suddenly surged in Lin Feng's heart, and his two hands clenched tightly into fists.

"Who was present at the time?" Lin Feng asked again.

"At first there was only Han Jian; he seemed to have snuck into the room where I was being held, but later a woman ran in and scolded Han Jian a few times..." Lin Wei explained everything she had seen, holding nothing back.

And Lin Feng finally guessed the general picture.

It seemed that Han Jian, harboring resentment, had snuck behind the backs of Han Yu and the others in the Han Family to poison his sister.

Later, Luo Xiuxiu went to take Xiao Wei away and witnessed the scene of Han Jian poisoning her, but for some reason, she did not inform Han Yu of this matter.

So Han Yu was truly kept in the dark; the person who administered the poison was indeed not her, and she did not know about Han Jian's poisoning.

"Mr. Lin, stay calm." Seeing the look of rage on Lin Feng's face, Lei Dong hurriedly advised him.

"If your sister had been poisoned by someone and nearly lost her life, could you stay calm?" Lin Feng retorted.

"Regardless, your sister is fine now, and that is the greatest fortune in this misfortune. As for Han Jian's poisoning, there is currently only Miss Lin's one-sided word; without sufficient evidence, how can it be convincing? As the saying goes, to catch a thief, you must catch them with the loot; to catch an adulterer, you must catch them in the act. Mr. Lin, if you storm over there without evidence, it will be hard to convince the public," Lei Dong said earnestly.

"I'm not going there to handle a case; I'm going to take revenge. I don't need evidence to do things!" Lin Feng said domineeringly.

"But it's different now. Mr. Lin, you are about to become a big shot in our Dragon Kingdom, the Fifth War King of the Dragon Soul. Even if you don't consider yourself, you must consider the Dragon Soul," Lei Dong said with a bitter face.

What a nuisance!

I really shouldn't have agreed to the Third Senior Sister to be a War King of the Dragon Soul!

But things had reached this point, and complaining in his heart would not help, so Lin Feng said, "Fine, then I will endure it for now, but I will absolutely not let that Han Jian off. Sooner or later, I will make him pay the price!"

Lei Dong breathed a sigh of relief, and his hanging heart finally settled back into his chest.

Lin Feng glanced at Lei Dong a few times and asked, "I see you also seem very dissatisfied with the Han Family, so why do you always urge me to stay calm?"

Lei Dong said helplessly, "Mr. Lin, although the Han Family is overbearing, they are, after all, the number one wealthy family in Jinling, and the Han Family's business empire involves every aspect of Jinling. If something were to suddenly happen to the Han Family, a massive earthquake would occur in Jinling, potentially affecting countless people. I am the General Captain of the Dragon Soul, responsible for the safety and order of Jinling, so no matter how much I dislike the Han Family, I have to consider the big picture."

"I didn't expect you to have such a sense of the big picture," Lin Feng said.

Of course, Lin Wei heard the entire conversation between Lin Feng and Lei Dong.

Seeing Lin Wei's shocked expression, she hurriedly asked, "Brother, what is this about you becoming a War King of the Dragon Soul?"

Before Lin Feng could say anything, Lei Dong already said with a smile, "Miss Lin, your brother is now a master at the Martial Emperor realm, so he will soon serve as the Fifth War King and become one of our high-ranking generals in the Dragon Soul."

"This... is this true?"

Lin Wei looked at Lin Feng, her pretty face flushed with excitement.

Lin Feng smiled, reached out, and ruffled Lin Wei's hair before saying, "It is indeed true."

"That's great!"

Lin Wei shouted in surprise and threw herself into Lin Feng's arms.

Lei Dong said, "Mr. Lin, you still need to help me investigate the missing persons case and cannot leave Jinling for the time being. Since that's the case, you and your sister shouldn't stay in this hotel. It just so happens that I have an empty villa under my name; why don't you and your sister stay at my villa first? That way, it will also be convenient for me to send people to protect your sister's safety."

Lin Feng did not refuse, nodded, and said, "Fine, thank you for the trouble."

The villa Lei Dong mentioned was located in Jinling's renowned luxury villa area—Shuitianyuan.

Shuitianyuan was also a very famous wealthy district in Jinling; those who could live here were either rich or noble.

After lunch, Lin Feng brought Lin Wei to the main gate of Shuitianyuan, but before they could enter, a luxury car drove over from a distance.

Upon reaching them, the luxury car suddenly braked, and the passenger-side window slowly rolled down.

An exquisite woman's face then appeared in the field of vision of Lin Feng and Lin Wei.

"You... could you be Lin Wei?"

The woman looked at Lin Wei, who was clinging to Lin Feng like a little bird, and asked in a tone of surprise.

Lin Wei looked at the woman in confusion and asked, "You know me? Who are you?"

"I'm Wang Tiantian! How long has it been that you don't even recognize me?" Wang Tiantian said with a smile.

Lin Wei suddenly realized and said, "So it's you! Tiantian, you've changed so much, I didn't even recognize you!"

This woman named Wang Tiantian was clearly the same age as Lin Wei, looking to be about eighteen or nineteen.

Yet her makeup was garish; not only did she have very trendy big wavy hair, but the neckline of her dress was cut extremely low, and her astonishing cleavage was almost ready to burst out.

Moreover, she was decked out in gold and silver, with a string of pearls hanging around her neck that one could tell at a glance were worth a fortune; it was just like a three-year-old child carrying gold through a busy market—both conspicuous and eyesore.

"Baby, who is this person?" asked the short, fat man sitting in the driver's seat.

"Godfather, she is that Lin Wei I told you about before, my high school classmate. She used to be a wealthy heiress, but now she's fallen on hard times and is so poor she can barely live," Wang Tiantian said.

"Then why are you still bothering with her?" the short, fat man said disdainfully.

Lin Feng immediately felt very displeased, while Lin Wei couldn't help but lower her head.

Seeing this, Lin Feng asked, "Lin Wei, what is your relationship with this Wang Tiantian?"

"She was my high school classmate, but she dropped out of school for no reason before finishing high school, and then we never saw each other again," Lin Wei explained.

"She dropped out of school nine times out of ten because she latched onto a rich man," Lin Feng said.
