Second Update!
Could it be that Ye Chenfeng’s imprisonment was a setup by someone, with the aim being the secret project in her hands?
“I hope you’ll think it over carefully, I’ll call you before noon tomorrow!” the other party said before hanging up the phone directly.
After hanging up, Chu Qingxue’s face was filled with complexity.
However, she pondered for a moment and still decided to call Chen Xijun.
“Hello, Captain Chen, I want to ask if Ye Chenfeng has offended someone from the Capital City?” Chu Qingxue was direct, which was in her nature.
“Miss Chu, how did you come to know about this?” Chen Xijun’s voice was filled with confusion.
Chu Qingxue didn’t respond but continued to ask, “And Ye Chenfeng has only one day left!”
On the other end of the phone, there was a long silence.
But Chu Qingxue also got her answer; everything the person on the phone had said was true, and there was no deception.
The dilemma was now left to Chu Qingxue; should she really exchange the project on the Nano Warhead to save Ye Chenfeng’s life?
She knew once the data on the Nano Warhead leaked, what that would mean.
Not only would the collaboration with the Golden Family break down completely, but it would also strike a severe blow to Chu Corporation, possibly leading it to bankruptcy.
However, if she didn’t save Ye Chenfeng, he would only have one day left, with absolutely no chance of survival.
Thus, Chu Qingxue fell into a difficult situation, finding it extremely hard to make a decision.
She was destined to be sleepless tonight.
The next day.
What troubled Yuan Zhen was that Chen Xijun actually admitted that she was the murderer who killed Peng Yu and that Ye Chenfeng was just carrying the can.
Moreover, Chen Xijun had a series of evidence, which of course was forged by herself.
As she had been involved in the matter, the evidence was flawlessly fabricated.
“Xijun, you’re not joking, right?” Yuan Zhen looked incredulous.
But Chen Xijun shook her head: “No, I killed him, and it has nothing to do with Ye Chenfeng!”
“That’s impossible, how could it be you who killed him?
It was me who killed him.
Here is Peng Yu’s casualty report.
I gave him the poison, and Ye Chenfeng also has an alibi, as he was with Chu Qingxue that night,” Chen Xijun said with firm conviction.
Yuan Zhen frowned for a long while before saying, “Xijun, you can’t be wanting to take the fall for Ye Chenfeng, can you?”
“I killed him, and it has nothing to do with him!
Not to mention taking the fall for him!” Chen Xijun insisted resolutely.
However, the more Yuan Zhen thought about it, the more something seemed off.
If it were someone else who had killed Peng Yu, he might believe it, but he was absolutely unable to believe that Chen Xijun could be the killer.
Chen Xijun was definitely trying to take the blame for Ye Chenfeng, Yuan Zhen was sure of it now.
“Xijun, what exactly is your relationship with Ye Chenfeng, and is it really worth it for you to do this?
You must know that if they are convinced it’s you, they definitely won’t let you off.
It’s said that Tie Long has a fiery temper, and he’s extremely fond of his apprentice.
Now that his apprentice is dead, he will surely seek revenge!”
Just at that moment, the sound of orderly footsteps rose, and Yuan Zhen’s location suddenly had an additional team of people.
Leading them was the imposing Tie Long, with a dark expression and eyes that shone like torches.
Following him were Gu Shaoqing, Liang Hongjun, You Ming, and several agents from the Six Fan Sect.
Fu Shiyin, according to reports, had already returned to the Capital City.
“Director Yuan, I presume?
I am Tie Long from the Six Fan Sect!” Tie Long directly identified himself.
“Tie…
Tie Long?” Yuan Zhen’s lips trembled slightly, not expecting the Four Great Divine Capturers’ actual Tie Long to come himself.
“Xijun, why did you call us here?
What’s this all about?” Gu Shaoqing couldn’t help but ask Chen Xijun.
Chen Xijun spoke up, “Divine Detective Tie Long, in fact, I killed him, and it has nothing to do with Ye Chenfeng!”
“Gah!”
As soon as Chen Xijun’s words came out, everyone was stunned.
Particularly Gu Shaoqing and the others, they were utterly dumbfounded.
“Peng Yu was killed by you?” Tie Long’s gaze slowly converged, as though containing a storm, and a terrifying aura instantly locked onto Chen Xijun.
Under the oppressive force from Tie Long, bearing down like Mount Tai, Chen Xijun felt weak and powerless, even suffocating.
Yet Chen Xijun stood her ground against this pressure and said firmly, “The person was indeed killed by me!”
Tie Long attempted to read something in Chen Xijun’s eyes but failed, for she did not seem to be lying.
“Then how do you prove that you are the murderer?” Tie Long couldn’t help but ask.
“This is the evidence!
I don’t want Ye Chenfeng to take the fall for me!” Chen Xijun said.
Tie Long took it with doubt and then began to read.
The evidence concocted by Chen Xijun was flawless, even Tie Long could not discern anything amiss.
“So it really was you!” Tie Long said.
“Yes, it was me!” Chen Xijun nodded, admitting it.
Tie Long asked, “Then why do you admit it?
Isn’t it better for someone else to take your place?”
“Hmph, I’m the one who killed, how could I let someone else die for it!” Chen Xijun retorted with a sneer.
“There must be a reason, why would Ye Chenfeng take the blame for you without a word?
Moreover, you are willing to admit you’re the murderer!
There must be something fishy!” Tie Long questioned.
Chen Xijun smiled, “Do you want to know the answer, Divine Detective Tie Long?”
“I do!” Tie Long nodded, and the others perked up their ears too.
“Because I like him, I can’t watch him die for me with my eyes wide open!” Chen Xijun said.
Gu Shaoqing’s body shook violently, and Yuan Zhen and the others also looked incredulously at Chen Xijun.
Tie Long nodded, “I see!”
Gu Shaoqing immediately disagreed, “That’s impossible, how could you be the killer?
Uncle Tie Long, let me see it!”
“Sure!” Tie Long passed the fabricated evidence to Gu Shaoqing.
After Gu Shaoqing finished reading, his face changed.
Suddenly, with deep incredulity, Gu Shaoqing said, “This cannot be, Uncle Tie Long, she’s definitely not the killer, I can testify!”
Gu Shaoqing’s heart was bleeding.
Chen Xijun actually admitted in front of so many people that she liked Ye Chenfeng.
Nobody knew how much this statement struck Gu Shaoqing.
From the moment he arrived in Jiangnan, he had fallen deeply for Chen Xijun, the exceptional and independent woman.
His heart was tied to Chen Xijun, but now she was saying that she liked Ye Chenfeng.
Tie Long looked at him, “The evidence is conclusive, what’s impossible about it?
You testify, what can you testify to?
Weren’t you also unable to see clearly who it was that night?”
“I…” Gu Shaoqing was at a loss for words, not knowing what to say.
“Divine Detective Tie Long, I know the Six Fan Sect always conducts itself meticulously, especially Divine Detective Tie Long who is known for his integrity, never engaging in corruption or bias.
Now that the evidence is conclusive, I ask you to release Ye Chenfeng.
Do not wrongfully accuse the innocent!” Chen Xijun earnestly said.
Chen Xijun was challenging Tie Long; she had already figured out Tie Long’s temperament.
