Chapter 569: Gold Prospecting Master Skill

【Gold Prospecting Master】

Huh?

This reward?

Upon carefully examining the skill description.

It's really a good thing!

If there is a gold deposit beneath one's feet, the skill will automatically prompt and inform of the gold deposit's depth.

In the future, going to those little devils to look for gold wouldn't that be convenient?

The gunfire inside the house quickly drew the attention of the guards outside the villa; Chen Yongren didn't hesitate and decisively slipped out through the window.

"Major His Excellency, what's wrong? Quickly open the door!"

"Major His Excellency!"

"Ram the door, quickly break it open!"

……

Seeing no response from inside the study, the guards outside grew increasingly anxious.

The bang-bang-bang of the door being rammed echoed continuously.

Finally, the wooden door could no longer withstand their impacts.

"Bang~"

The door was knocked straight to the ground, and several guards stumbled and fell to the ground.

But they couldn't care about their pain at the moment, struggling to get up and looking toward the desk.

All that could be seen was Chi Mu Chengping lying on the chair back, his mouth full of blood, already devoid of any signs of life.

Seeing this, the guards on site were all stunned.

"Major His Excellency!"

No one knows who first let out a mournful scream.

The next second.

These guards then struggled to gather around, shouting desperately.

But now, Chi Mu Chengping couldn't hear their calls at all.

The guards were frightened stupid by the scene before them.

"There's a letter on the desk!"

A guard with keen eyesight was quickly drawn to the letter and hastily picked it up.

After a glance, his face changed drastically, his voice trembling: "Not good, Major His Excellency has committed suicide!"

"What? Suicide?"

Upon hearing this, the guards almost had their jaws drop.

Inside the villa, it also became increasingly chaotic.

……

And the mastermind behind all this, Chen Yongren, also silently slipped back to the villa without alerting anyone, glancing at Lin Ke Xin asleep on the bed.

This little girl had no idea what was happening outside and was sleeping soundly.

This might be what is called 'lying to win' in legend.

Truly enviable to have a teammate like me by your side, Chen Yongren muttered a couple of complaints, lying in bed.

Gold Mine Detection is a pretty good skill.

Once one's strength grows, one can go worldwide to detect gold mines, taking all the currently undiscovered foreign gold deposits into one's pocket.

By then, I would be the world's foremost gold king, and could even have a gold toilet at home to play with.

I could even change one a day, damn it.

While indulging in the daydream of getting rich, Chen Yongren's thoughts were interrupted by a sudden, urgent phone ring.

Chen Yongren felt a stir in his heart, vaguely guessing whose call it was, calmly walked to the phone and picked up the receiver.

"Chief Commander Young Master, may I ask if you are the Chief Commander Young Master?"

A mournful voice came from the receiver.

"You bastard, what are you, calling in the middle of the night to cry? I'm not dead yet!" Chen Yongren said in an unfriendly tone.

"Chief Commander Young Master, something terrible has happened, Major Chi Mu… Major Chi Mu has committed suicide." The other end sounded like they had suffered a bereavement.

"What? Suicide?" Chen Yongren feigned surprise: "You bastard, my uncle was fine this morning, how could he possibly commit suicide?"

"Chief Commander Young Master, this is true, you'll know as soon as you come see…" The voice on the other end was choked with tears.

"Wait for me, I'll be there right away!" Chen Yongren hung up the phone forcefully, the corners of his mouth slightly turning up.

Afterwards, he took a vehicle to Chi Mu Chengping's home.

At this moment.

The villa inside and out were under total lockdown.

Chen Yongren walked forward with a solemn expression, sternly saying: "Where is my uncle?"

"Chief Commander Young Master, over here." A guard stepped forward quickly.

This fellow, Chen Yongren had seen when he came to Jinmen; he was the captain of Chi Mu Chengping's guards, responsible for the old devil's travel and household safety.

Under the guidance of this bastard, Chen Yongren came to the study, seeing Chi Mu Chengping lying on the chair, he first froze, then loudly exclaimed: "Uncle!"

Chen Yongren quickly stepped to Chi Mu Chengping's side, his eyes showing a hint of disbelief, and soon tears welled up in his eye sockets.

"You bastard, why did this happen, why did this happen, how did you guys act as guards?" Chen Yongren took two strides, walked up to that guard captain, and slapped him twice.

"My uncle was still meeting with me and recalling the past during the day; how could he possibly have committed suicide!"

During the day, he even said he wanted to see me get married and have children, acting as my matchmaker!

Baka yarou, there's definitely something wrong here.

My uncle must have been assassinated, you bunch of worthless trash—you'll drag the military's name through the mud!

……

Chen Yongren would slap him hard every time he spoke.

Talk of marriage and children is just his nonsense, but Chi Mu Chengping is already cold—whatever he said is whatever Chen Yongren makes up.

Hai! the guard captain dared not refute, stood at attention, bowed, took out a letter from his pocket and handed it to Chen Yongren, saying: "Chief Commander Young Master, we inspected the scene immediately—there's no trace of a second person inside, and Major His Excellency's fatal wound is only the gunshot to the back of the head."

Even if we give him ten thousand steps of leeway, if Major His Excellency faced danger, he would surely draw his gun first—how could he possibly turn it on himself?

Impossible, this is impossible—you definitely saw my uncle dead, realized your protection had failed, so you colluded to avoid responsibility!" Chen Yongren pointed at the guard captain and shouted angrily.

You bunch of bastards, I'll definitely send you lot to a military tribunal!

Chief Commander Young Master, we know you're grief‑stricken, but Major His Excellency's suicide is an undeniable fact." The guard captain produced a letter and handed it to Chen Yongren, saying.

This is Major His Excellency's suicide note—you'll know at a glance.

A suicide note?" Chen Yongren wiped his tears, took the letter dubiously.

Hai!" the guard captain said, standing at attention.

Although this thing was of his own making, Chen Yongren still pretended to read it seriously, his hand trembling slightly as he held the letter.

Why is this happening, why is this happening!" Chen Yongren kept shaking his head, looking at Chi Mu Chengping and saying: "Uncle, you're clueless—why would you make such a wrong decision?"

We should look ahead—why dwell on this minor setback?

Chief Commander Young Master, don't be fooled by Major His Excellency's outward splendor—he's actually been under great pressure all along." The guard captain explained: "Major His Excellency has been smashing things in his room nonstop these past few days.

And he's been suffering from insomnia for several days straight.

Chen Yongren fell silent.

What did my uncle use to kill himself?" Chen Yongren asked.

This is the pistol Major His Excellency used to kill himself." The guard captain handed the pistol to Chen Yongren.

Chen Yongren took the pistol, a flicker of sorrow crossing his face.

After a moment of silence, Chen Yongren said again: "Let me stay with my uncle a while; I want to tidy up his belongings."

Hai!

The guard captain also took the hint, waved for those inside to leave, and shut the door.
