Chapter 145: Going In for Reform

Li Qian's hand trembled in fear; she moved forward with a deathly pale face, shaking all over, not daring to say a single word.

"Did you drink the wine?" Huang Yiqiang asked.

"I... ah, no, no." Li Qian was so scared that tears fell; she knelt on the ground with a thud and begged: "I'm sorry, Boss, I didn't mean to, it was my greed, please spare me."

"Spare you?" Huang Yiqiang sneered: "Weren't you acting all high and mighty just now? I was wondering why a waitress was so arrogant; turns out you hooked up with the boss's nephew. You're tough, keep being tough."

"I'm sorry, I'm truly sorry." Li Qian trembled in fear; she had done the wine-swapping trick many times, but she hadn't expected to hit a steel plate today.

"Wang Zhendong, my brothers and I came out to drink for a good time, but now I'm very unhappy. Tell me what we should do." Xia Tian sat down and said bitterly.

"I'll break one of Zhao Peng's legs, and this woman will be beaten severely to vent Young Master Xia's anger." Wang Zhendong said hurriedly: "I'll send her to the police station to be locked up; as long as Young Master Xia and Boss Huang aren't angry, anything will do."

"Don't, Boss Wang, I didn't mean it, I apologize to you all, please don't call the police." Li Qian was so scared she almost screamed: "Chen Yu, we're classmates, Chen Yu, please save me."

"You remember we're classmates now?" Chen Yu sneered: "A person as impressive as you, I can't afford to associate with. This isn't the first time she's done this, is it? No need for a beating, just send her straight to the police station."

"Alright, alright, I'm calling the police, I'm calling the police right now." Wang Zhendong hurriedly took out his phone to call the police.

"Don't, Chen Yu, please spare me, it was my fault just now, I'm just a waitress, I'm nothing, please let me go this one time, I won't dare to do it again." Li Qian knelt on the ground, begging bitterly.

"It's too late, go inside for a few years and learn a lesson." Chen Yu was expressionless.

Those few bottles of Feitian Moutai were worth tens of thousands, enough to meet the threshold for a case, and this woman had definitely done this more than once before. For a woman like this, if she isn't taught a lesson, she will never know the immensity of heaven and earth.

The police came and took her away directly; Li Qian would likely have to go inside for reform. Wang Zhendong begged everyone and finally managed to send these people off, the condition being that he broke one of Zhao Peng's legs in front of them.

"Chen Yu, this meal is on me for now, I'll find you another day. Also, the real estate company is being established; the first project is Longhu Wetland Park, starting tomorrow, you must go." Xia Tian said.

"Alright, don't worry, I'll definitely go." Chen Yu smiled slightly.

The group waved goodbye, and Chen Yu planned to head back.

"Chen Yu, it's bad, Wang Kai's whole family has been wiped out." Chen Yu had just gotten into the car when he received a call from Song Mengyan.

"When did this happen?" Chen Yu was shocked; everything was fine when he went to sign the Contract in the morning, how did something happen so suddenly?

"Just got the news, the police have already gone to the scene. Because you had contact with him, you need to go and give a statement."

"I'll go to his house and take a look first." Chen Yu hung up the phone and hurried toward Wang Kai's house.

By the time Chen Yu arrived, a group of police officers had already surrounded the place.

Chen Yu hurriedly walked up and asked: "Officer, what is going on here?"

"A homicide has occurred, unauthorized personnel are not allowed to enter." A police officer stopped Chen Yu.

"Let him in, he's my friend." Ren Zhenghao shouted from inside.

"Alright, Captain Ren, you can go in." The officer let Chen Yu in.

"What happened?" Chen Yu walked in and asked.

"I was just about to find you for questioning; did you have a conflict with Wang Kai yesterday?" Ren Zhenghao asked.

"There was a bit of a conflict, but it was perfectly resolved later. What's wrong?" Chen Yu asked.

"He's dead." Ren Zhenghao said solemnly: "A family of five—his wife, a daughter, a nanny, and his two-year-old son—all dead."

"What?" Chen Yu was shocked: "Who did it?"

"Don't know, it was discovered by someone jogging this morning." Ren Zhenghao shook his head and said: "We also just arrived here to seal off the scene and are currently waiting for the coroner to arrive."

"Take me to see." Chen Yu thought for a moment and said.

"Come over." Ren Zhenghao led Chen Yu inside; the scene in the room was somewhat tragic.

The floor was covered in blood. Wang Kai was sitting slumped on the sofa, his eyes wide open, a look of horror on his face; he must have seen something terrifying when he died.

The nanny and the wife were killed while trying to run out; his wife was still shielding their two-year-old son in her arms. His daughter had already reached the doorway, but her back was bloody and the blood had already congealed; she must have been the first to react, yet she still couldn't escape the fate of being killed.

Chen Yu felt a tightness in his chest. Wang Kai was a scoundrel, but his wife was truly virtuous and a good person. Moreover, this two-year-old boy had just learned to walk and talk; he was still acting spoiled in Wang Kai's arms that morning, and the daughter had proudly said she was first in the math competition, but in the blink of an eye, the whole family was gone.

Chen Yu's fists clenched tightly. Even if Wang Kai was a heinous person, his family was innocent. The person who did this was so vicious, not even sparing his wife and child—how much hatred could there be?

"Did you see anything?" Ren Zhenghao glanced at Chen Yu.

"There are no wounds on their bodies, but a large amount of blood seeped out from their pores. This is a very vicious poison." Chen Yu frowned: "It was done by someone from the martial arts world."

"Using poison?" Ren Zhenghao was slightly stunned: "How did you see that?"

"I practice Traditional Chinese Medicine, of course I'm familiar with these things. I'm afraid you won't be able to solve this case." Chen Yu looked up at Ren Zhenghao.

"I won't be able to solve it?" Ren Zhenghao was a bit angry: "I'm afraid there isn't a case in this world I can't solve."

"It was done by someone from the martial arts world, and the other party is an expert. Judging by the method used, this is a guy who is extremely misanthropic and has a severely twisted personality. It's not that you can't solve the case, but even if you know who the other party is, you won't be able to deal with him." Chen Yu said.

"Chen Yu, never say such things again. My duty is to uphold justice. Don't worry, within a week, this case will definitely be solved." Ren Zhenghao was furious.

Chen Yu gave a bitter smile; this guy's sense of justice was overflowing, but there were some things in this world that a normal person simply couldn't solve.

"He had a conflict with you yesterday, many people saw it, and today you were the last person to see him, so you are a suspect. Now you need to come back with me to give a statement." Ren Zhenghao said.

"That's no problem, I'll go back with you." Chen Yu nodded.

After finishing the statement and returning, it was already late. Wang Kai was not worth pitying, but the killer was also a person of cruel methods, not even sparing a two-year-old child. Chen Yu had to get to the bottom of this.

Chen Yu closed his eyes, pondered for a moment, then turned resolutely and walked toward the Xuanwu Tea House. Zhu Hongxue, this woman whose true strength he couldn't discern, might know something.

At the Xuanwu Tea House, Li Xuanling put down the cup in his hand. He looked sideways at Zhu Hongxue beside him: "I've left the Xuanwu Tea House to you to manage recently. The martial arts world hasn't been very peaceful; is there anything thorny?"

"Reporting to Godfather, there haven't been any major issues recently. There were some small frictions, but they have all been resolved." Zhu Hongxue bowed slightly and said: "You should focus on your seclusion, I wish Godfather an early breakthrough to Martial Ancestor."

"Is that so?" Li Xuanling glanced at her and said: "Then your cousin Wang Kai, his family of five killed, not even sparing a ten-year-old girl or a two-year-old infant, the methods were cruel. What do you plan to do about this matter?"
