Chapter 439: Chapter 439: Death Within Reach
Wang Yan saw smiles on Zheng Yutong and Xiao Ling’s faces.
He felt like he was such a fool.
But he believed that the sight of Xiao Ling kidnapping Zheng Yutong earlier was definitely not fake.
So, Wang Yan seriously asked the two of them, “What exactly happened just now?”
Zheng Yutong smiled sweetly and said, “Just now… we were just joking, weren’t we?”
“I mean the kidnapping earlier!” Wang Yan said.
“Director Wang, that was also a joke between Xiao Ling and me,” Zheng Yutong said very seriously.
“Joking…” Wang Yan felt like a monkey being played with, deep inside was burning with anger!
It seemed Wen Xiaojun was right; Xiao Ling and Zheng Yutong were putting on a show to fool him.
“Yutong, Xiao Ling, you mustn’t make such jokes in the future! It’s fortunate Director Wang has a broad mind and doesn’t hold it against you. If it were another director, you’d definitely be detained.” Sitting on the sofa, Zheng Guozhu sternly reprimanded his daughter and Xiao Ling while eating the apple she had peeled for him.
Zheng Yutong stuck out her tongue, said to her father, “Dad, I know I was wrong. I won’t dare make such jokes next time.”
Zheng Guozhu snorted coldly, saying, “Saying it to me is useless. If you want to admit your mistake, apologize to Director Wang.”
Thus, Zheng Yutong and Xiao Ling said to Wang Yan, “Director Wang, we’re sorry. We truly shouldn’t have joked with you like that!”
Though Wang Yan was angry inside, what else could he do?
Detain and interrogate them, both admitted it was a joke, and no substantial harm was done. At most, a lesson, yet they’d have to be released eventually.
Moreover, the wealthiest man, Zheng Guozhu himself praised his magnanimity publicly; he couldn’t act petty.
So Wang Yan had to wave his hand, saying to Zheng Yutong and Xiao Ling, “Enough, enough, don’t joke like that again, or I’ll have to detain you.”
“We wouldn’t dare, we wouldn’t dare,” Xiao Ling and Zheng Yutong quickly waved their hands and said.
After that, Xiao Ling and Zheng Yutong subtly glanced toward Lin Fei in the room.
Lin Fei was watching the two of them too.
The glances between the three carried an unnoticed hint of triumph.
That’s right, this kidnapping drama was entirely orchestrated by Lin Fei.
When he heard the police car sirens outside the villa, Lin Fei knew he would be framed as the murderer.
The sudden appearance of the police seemed to be a premeditated act.
Lin Fei became aware at that moment; someone had quietly set a trap for him.
Trying to make him the murderer.
Even if he explained, the police likely wouldn’t believe his words; the room was covered in blood, and Liu Xuan lay unconscious on the bed.
So, he didn’t want to be considered the murderer by the police, he could only wait for Liu Xuan to wake up and clear his name.
To buy time, he had Xiao Ling and Zheng Yutong stage a fake kidnapping.
After Wang Yan led the armed police out of the villa, Lin Fei immediately used his mysterious power to forcibly infuse energy into the barely breathing Liu Xuan, allowing him to rapidly recover his physical functions.
Eventually, Liu Xuan woke up.
However, at this moment, Lin Fei, because of using his mysterious power to heal Liu Xuan, was utterly exhausted.
But he couldn’t rest yet.
Because the matter here wasn’t finished.
Lin Fei’s eyes moved to Wen Xiaojun standing at the room door, while Wen Xiaojun was also watching Lin Fei.
Wen Xiaojun couldn’t believe it; he had sealed Liu Xuan’s mute acupoint and several others, making him unable to move or speak, and had attacked him with a dozen strikes, yet he hadn’t died!
Unexpectedly, Lin Fei’s medical skills could bring someone back from the brink of death.
He had miscalculated.
However, he wouldn’t just leave it at that.
His eyes flashed coldly; if Liu Xuan identified him as the murderer,
Then he’d have no choice but to resort to killing, to silence anyone speaking—killing Liu Xuan, Lin Fei, Xiao Ling, Zheng Yutong, and even Zheng Guozhu and the entire Liu family.
As for Wang Yan and the armed police, Wen Xiaojun wasn’t worried at all; Wang Yan was promoted by his grandfather, and in critical moments, he’d still have to listen to his grandfather.
As the youngest in the Wen family, he was brought into the military for harsh training by his grandfather from an early age, honed to be efficient and decisive in combat.
Moreover, he believed in his Grandmaster-level power; he could instantly eliminate these people.
Even if he killed so many people, he wouldn’t even blink; he could frame Lin Fei for all the crimes anyway.
And Wang Yan, being his grandfather’s man, would naturally cover for him, with his grandfather employing a few connections, things would calm down, regardless of how big they might become.
At this time, Zheng Guozhu, sitting on the sofa, had finished his apple, stood up and said to Wang Yan, “Director Wang, didn’t you say someone wanted to murder Young Master Liu?
Now that Young Master Liu is awake, you can ask him.”
A trace of embarrassment appeared on Wang Yan’s face; he only said someone attempted to murder Liu Xuan because of what Wen Xiaojun had told him, right?
But he must say to Zheng Guozhu, “I only came here to investigate after receiving a call from someone reporting a case.”
“Well, I know Director Wang does his duty diligently,” Zheng Guozhu nodded.
Then, Zheng Guozhu went over to Liu Xuan’s bedside, saying to him, “Young Xuan, are you alright?”
Liu Xuan shook his head, saying, “Thank you, Uncle Zheng, for your concern. I’m fine.”
Although he had woken up and his spirits had been lifted by Lin Fei’s mysterious power, Liu Xuan was still somewhat weak due to losing a lot of blood.
Zheng Guozhu nodded, “It’s good that you’re okay. Otherwise, I wouldn’t know how to explain to your parents and grandfather. Can you tell Director Wang who tried to murder you?”
Liu Xuan looked at Zheng Guozhu, then at Lin Fei, and finally at Wen Xiaojun at the room door.
Wen Xiaojun’s eyes also fixed tightly on Liu Xuan.
However, Liu Xuan’s gaze merely glanced at Wen Xiaojun’s face before turning to Wang Yan, saying, “Director Wang, someone indeed tried to murder me.”
Once Liu Xuan said this, Wen Xiaojun at the door instinctively clenched his fist, and his cold aura began to show.
Wang Yan had to ask, “Young Master Liu, who tried to murder you?”
A flash of hatred appeared in Liu Xuan’s eyes as he said, “I don’t know. I was resting in the room when suddenly someone came in from the balcony. Before I could react, I was hit over a dozen times and fell unconscious.”
After saying this, Liu Xuan looked at Wen Xiaojun, watching as his tight grip slowly loosened and the cold aura from his body disappeared.
Liu Xuan couldn’t help but recall the few words Lin Fei said to him after waking him up, before Zheng Guozhu, Wang Yan, and Wen Xiaojun entered the bedroom.
“Later, when Zheng Guozhu, Director Wang, and Wen Xiaojun enter, if they ask you who tried to murder you, you mustn’t say his name.”
“Why can’t I say Wen Xiaojun tried to murder me?”
“Because I initially wasn’t aware he wanted to frame me, nor did I intercept Liu Wei promptly. Liu Wei is likely under his control at this point. If you expose him as the killer, your younger sister might be at risk.”
“I understand, I know what to do.”
