Chapter 178: Must Investigate Clearly

The villa was spotlessly clean, without a speck of dust, and fully equipped with all kinds of household appliances; there was even bedding.

Lin Feng did not need to prepare anything; he could simply move in with his bags.

Nodding in satisfaction, Lin Feng joked, "I didn't expect your General Captain to have such a luxurious villa, and it's even sitting empty. Could it be that he obtained this house by abusing his position?"

Chen Qinghe was covered in sweat and hurriedly said, "Mr. Lin, you are joking. Our General Captain is, after all, a Martial Venerable Peak expert. Although he is nothing compared to you, he is still someone of note here in Jinling. A villa like this is really nothing to him."

"I was just joking, don't be nervous," Lin Feng laughed.

"You really shouldn't make jokes like that, Mr. Lin; it's enough to scare someone to death," Chen Qinghe said with a bitter smile.

After touring the entire villa, Lin Feng said, "Alright, there are no problems. You all can head back."

Chen Qinghe did not leave immediately, however, and asked, "Mr. Lin, the General Captain instructed me to leave a group of men behind to protect Miss Lin. How many do you think would be appropriate for me to leave?"

As soon as Chen Qinghe said this, those Divine Dragon Guards all puffed out their chests, looking at Lin Feng with anticipation, as if they were eager to stay and serve Lin Feng and Lin Wei.

This was only natural.

Lin Feng had already defeated the three Elders of the Heaven Sword Sect outside the Jingtai Garden Hotel, proving his strength.

These Divine Dragon Guards naturally held Lin Feng in the highest esteem, and by serving Lin Feng and Lin Wei at close range, they might even have the chance to seek guidance from Lin Feng!

Lin Feng thought for a moment and said, "Leaving nine people will do. Three to a group, taking turns on guard duty."

"Isn't nine people a bit too few?" Chen Qinghe said.

"Too many people would be counterproductive," Lin Feng said.

Since Lin Feng had said so, Chen Qinghe could only nod.

"Very well, then we shall do as you wish, Mr. Lin."

After Chen Qinghe left, Lin Wei ran excitedly to the second floor and chose the largest room.

"Do you like it?" Lin Feng asked.

"I love it, I love it!"

Lin Wei nodded repeatedly and jumped onto the soft, large bed, rolling around everywhere.

Watching Lin Wei's innocent and lively demeanor, Lin Feng smiled and said, "It was hard enough to come to Jinling; I'll take you out to relax in a bit."

"Okay, okay!"

Lin Wei was extremely happy, nodding her head rapidly.

At the same moment, at the Han Family mansion.

The three Heaven Sword Sect Elders had already been settled in, and Han Yu had even spent a large sum of money to invite several famous doctors to treat them.

After arranging everything, Han Yu returned to her room and called Luo Xiuxiu over.

"I didn't expect that Lin Feng was actually a Martial Emperor realm expert. This is a huge problem. You must know that the Sect Leader is only at Martial King Peak, and the Sect Leader herself is currently in seclusion..." Luo Xiuxiu said.

The reason Han Yu invited the three Elders to assist instead of directly asking her master, Xiao Luoyan, was because Xiao Luoyan was in seclusion.

And no one knew exactly when Xiao Luoyan would emerge from seclusion.

"With my master in possession of the Dragon God Sword and the Phoenix Immortal Sword, defeating Lin Feng will be a simple matter," Han Yu said heavily.

Luo Xiuxiu dared not argue and could only nod in agreement.

Afterward, Han Yu sat down, crossed her legs, and looked coldly at Luo Xiuxiu: "Xiuxiu, is there something you are hiding from me?"

"No, Senior Sister," Luo Xiuxiu said hurriedly.

"I am asking you, was it you who poisoned Lin Wei? Why would you do such a thing?" Han Yu questioned.

Luo Xiuxiu was terrified, her face turning pale, and she hurriedly said, "Senior Sister, you have misunderstood me. I did not poison Lin Wei. I have no grudge against her, why would I harm her?"

"Then why were your eyes darting around today at the entrance of the Jingtai Garden Hotel, looking like a thief with a guilty conscience?" Han Yu asked again.

Luo Xiuxiu hesitated for a moment, then finally gritted her teeth and said, "There is just one thing, and I don't know if I should say it or not."

"Just say it; I have my own judgment," Han Yu said heavily.

Luo Xiuxiu then said, "Last night, after you were defeated by Lin Feng, Senior Sister, I went to fetch Lin Wei. Just as I entered the room where Lin Wei was being held, I saw Young Master Han feeding Lin Wei something."

"I didn't think much of it at the time, only feeling that Young Master Han was humiliating Lin Wei, but later, after pondering it, I felt that things were not that simple. Today, upon learning that Lin Wei was poisoned, I finally confirmed that Young Master Han poisoned Lin Wei."

"But Young Master Han is your own younger brother, Senior Sister, so I didn't know whether or not I should tell you about this."

Upon hearing this, Han Yu was furious.

"You should have told me such an important matter sooner! Go find Han Jian now and bring him to me!" Han Yu ordered.

"Yes, Senior Sister."

Luo Xiuxiu soon returned, bringing Han Jian to Han Yu's room.

Without a word, Han Yu raised her long, fleshy leg and kicked Han Jian, sending him flying backward!

Bang!

Han Jian slammed into the wall with a bang, and as he fell, the corners of his mouth were bleeding.

"Sister, what are you doing? I am your brother!" Han Jian roared in grief and indignation.

Han Yu said coldly, "You still know you are my brother? You dared to secretly poison Lin Wei behind my back. Do you know how passive you have made me by doing this!"

"So what! We already have a grudge against Lin Feng. What does it matter if we kill his sister? Even if I didn't poison Lin Wei, Lin Feng would still be against us and continue to be an enemy of our Han Family!" Han Jian roared.

"That is a different matter, and I am not a despicable and shameless person!" Han Yu said angrily.

Afterward, Han Yu asked again, "The poison you gave Lin Wei is the Soul-Lost Fern Poison, one of the Ten Great Strange Poisons?"

"So what if it is!" Han Jian shouted.

Han Yu grabbed Han Jian by the collar and hoisted him up, asking with a gloomy face, "You still dare to say 'so what'? I ask you, is the Soul-Lost Fern Poison, one of the world's Ten Great Strange Poisons, so easy to obtain? From whom did you get this poison!"

"What does it have to do with you! You are my own sister, yet you are helping Lin Feng deal with me. You have disappointed me too much!" Han Jian roared crazily, like a beast that had lost its reason.

Han Yu said firmly and forcefully, "I am saving you, to keep you from going astray!"

"My affairs are not for you to manage. If you really want to help me, then eliminate Lin Feng! He turned me into a cripple and caused me to lose all face. What you should be doing now is not interrogating me like a prisoner, but taking revenge for me!"

After dropping these words, Han Jian pried open Han Yu's hand with force, turned around, and strode away.

Watching the back of Han Jian as he walked away, a shadow cast itself over Han Yu's heart.

She suddenly realized that this younger brother of hers had become so like a stranger!

"Xiuxiu, do me a favor," Han Yu said.
