Chapter 105: Who Is the Culprit?

"Director Lu, we haven't received any news about any place being attacked."

Bureau Chief Zhang paused before continuing.

"As for you, we will send someone to verify with you. If you have any clues, you are welcome to tell us. I will come to visit you in a while."

"Then I will wait for you at the Zhuangyuan."

Lu Chen narrowed his eyes, his tone carrying a hint of dissatisfaction.

After hanging up the phone, Lu Chen narrowed his eyes, and after a few seconds, he looked at Butler Wang who had just returned.

"Tell them to be faster; Bureau Chief Zhang will be coming over later."

"Understood. Xiaofeng has been found and has already been escorted to a secret safe house. Do you think..."

Butler Wang walked to Lu Chen's side and spoke in a low voice.

"Is the injury serious?"

Lu Chen took a deep look at Butler Wang.

"Minor injury; he will be fine after resting for a few days."

Lu Chen tapped the armrest lightly, frowned, and after a long while, he looked up.

"If that side is safe, let him stay there first; transfer him back tonight."

Lu Chen paused, took two puffs of his cigarette, and then spoke softly.

"Did Xiaofeng mention this matter?"

"It wasn't him; he wasn't ready yet."

Butler Wang said in a low voice.

"Xiaofeng had already infiltrated the core area of Old Zhao, and just as he was about to reach Old Zhao's position, Old Zhao suddenly died."

Upon hearing what Butler Wang said in a low voice, Lu Chen's pupils contracted.

The finger tapping the armrest paused.

"Immediately get Xiaofeng... no, have Xiaofeng move immediately. That safe house is no longer safe. Go to that Zhuangyuan of Luosha. You go deliver him yourself. Tell Old Hou to protect Xiaofeng well, and also have Xiaofeng tell Luosha everything exactly as it happened."

"Take more people to avoid being attacked again. Have Chen Mo's people bring the opponent's corpse to the Zhuangyuan; don't dispose of it casually. Hand it over to Bureau Chief Zhang to take away in a bit."

As Butler Wang bowed slightly, preparing to leave the study, Lu Chen added one more sentence.

Butler Wang bowed again and left the study. After a while, a servant with a look of terror on his face knocked on the door in a hurry.

"Master, there is a letter at the door."

Lu Chen took a pair of gloves out of the drawer and put them on before taking the letter handed over by the servant.

He patted the servant's shoulder lightly.

"Don't be afraid, it's nothing; I'm here."

After dismissing the servant, he returned behind the desk.

He looked at the envelope.

A Wax Seal with a special symbol made Lu Chen's pupils contract slightly.

Lu Chen did not destroy the Wax Seal, but instead used a utility knife to open it directly from the side.

"Congratulations to Director Lu for passing our test. You are welcome to come to the second basement level of the tavern at the corner of Kasuweier Jie in 3 days to discuss in detail. We can claim responsibility for the Old Zhao incident."

Lu Chen continued to read down.

"Of course, Director Lu can also choose not to come, but you will have to resolve the subsequent troubles yourself. Regardless, this address will only be open for 3 days."

Lu Chen frowned, a flash of disdain in his eyes.

Playing mystery!

Lu Chen stood up, opened the window, and called out to Butler Wang, who was just walking toward the parking lot.

He stood up, went downstairs, and handed the letter to Butler Wang.

"By the way, tell Old Hou to investigate this place. Be quick. After I talk to Bureau Chief Zhang, the officials will probably go there too."

Butler Wang nodded slightly and tucked the letter away close to his body.

Lu Chen then returned to the study and wrote down the content from just now from memory.

At the same time, he drew a simple sketch of the Wax Seal.

He placed it on the desk.

Before long, Bureau Chief Zhang was led by the servant toward the study.

"Director Lu, this is my first time in your study."

Bureau Chief Zhang knocked on the door, glanced at Lu Chen who was writing something, and was attracted by the four large characters "Heaven Rewards Diligence".

"Professor Li's calligraphy is as vigorous and powerful as ever!"

Lu Chen looked up at Bureau Chief Zhang, signaled for him to sit, finished the last stroke himself, and then stood up and came to sit by the sofa.

He handed Bureau Chief Zhang a 555 cigarette.

"I'm truly sorry; the matter was sudden, making you take a trip."

Lu Chen looked at "Heaven Rewards Diligence" with a smile before speaking softly.

"The old man likes to do these things. When he came over last time, he didn't hang it up and even lectured me a few times."

"This is Professor Li's urging for you. Old people, you know, always like a bit of ritual. Director Lu should just bear with it."

Bureau Chief Zhang slowly preheated his Cigar.

"Before coming over, our bureau also received some related rumors; it seems very unfavorable for you."

"You can take a look at this."

Lu Chen stood up and picked up the letter he had written from memory and the sketch of the Wax Seal from the table.

"I sent the original to Miss Luosha."

Bureau Chief Zhang picked up the paper and began reading its contents; after a long while, he frowned.

"You mean to say that after the shooting incident near your Zhuangyuan, this letter appeared at your doorstep, is that correct?"

"Yes, the security guard found it, and a servant handed it to me. Everyone is here; you may question them at any time."

Lu Chen sighed, then spoke in a soft voice.

"According to the message Liu Xiaofeng sent over, he hadn't even made a move yet when Old Zhao died, and he was also hunted by a group of mysterious people; I don't know if they were Old Zhao's men, but he only managed to shake off the pursuit with great difficulty and I have sent him to Miss Luosha."

"What about those corpses? May I take them away?"

Bureau Chief Zhang took a deep look at Lu Chen but did not ask anything.

"You may take them at any time; just have the security staff take you there."

Lu Chen took a puff of his cigarette, his eyes filled with composure.

"If Xiaofeng were the killer, then I would be using a different set of rhetoric today, and I presume Bureau Chief Zhang is well aware of that."

Bureau Chief Zhang smiled and nodded, taking a puff of his Cigar.

"People like you are indeed quite difficult to catch, but Chairman Lu, you have shown me what cooperation looks like."

"You can go to Miss Luosha's Zhuangyuan later to take a look; I presume there will be results by then, and as for your men, they should arrive at that location later—at the very least, let Miss Luosha's people go check it out first."

Lu Chen took a deep look at Bureau Chief Zhang, then spoke in a soft voice.

"That mysterious organization is playing tricks, and I am not sure how much evidence unfavorable to me and Liu Xiaofeng will be placed before you."

"To tell you the truth, Old Zhao's existence was actually most beneficial to me; although he opposed me, after the construction of Nitan, he would have eventually joined."

Lu Chen sighed softly, and after a long while, he continued.

"It is a pity; to me, everyone in Xianggang is a potential partner. I, Lu Sanbao, did not come to Xianggang to seize territory, but for development."

"Thank you, Chairman Lu, for the evidence presented and for providing those corpses; this has given us clues to solve the case."

Bureau Chief Zhang shook hands with Lu Chen, then spoke in a soft voice.

"Quite a few people have suggested that I detain you first; I wonder if you have offended some people?"
