Second Senior Brother

Chapter 437 A Certain Item

The Qingyan Town blood case, such a major event, naturally could not be concealed, and the police were alerted.

But what is intriguing is that the police only arrested some scapegoats who were not of high status.

The young masters of those seven great families were released soon after they were arrested.

When Chen Fan returned and saw this situation, he was naturally furious.

He inquired through connections and encountered great resistance.

For this reason, he personally broke into the police station to inquire, but was still met with perfunctory responses, even when he used the Dragon Head's connections, it was useless.

Thus, he was furious.

Especially seeing the bullet-riddled corpses of his subordinates, how could he endure it?

So, he directly went to the seven great families to demand the people.

When those families refused to hand over the people, Chen Fan, in his rage, created a shocking incident.

The He family had ties with the Feng family, and Young Master He fled to the Feng family's villa. Chen Fan relentlessly went to demand the person, which led to Feng Qianyuan's death.

Feng Qianyuan was not lightly injured at the time, but Chen Fan was sure that his injuries were not fatal.

After all, Feng Qianyuan had nothing to do with the Qingyan Town massacre, and Chen Fan had not lost his mind to kill him on sight.

But Feng Qianyuan still died!

The specific cause of death, Chen Fan already knew when he last went to the Feng family, it was poisoning... The Feng family, even after knowing this, still blamed him, and used all their influence to stir up a huge storm.

There were several key points in this matter.

This matter was later thoroughly investigated, and many people fell from power. The Han family benefited greatly from this, and Han Wei rose to a prominent position three years ago.

However, as the investigation progressed, the relationships became increasingly complex, with the shadow of top aristocratic families involved. Naturally, it could not be thoroughly investigated, and only some people were removed from their positions.

Then there was Feng Qianyuan's death.

The Feng family had also investigated this matter, and the conclusion was that an unknown person had infiltrated the Feng family's villa and then disappeared. Despite the Feng family's great influence, they could not find any clues.

The person who had infiltrated Feng Qianyuan's side was either silenced, or had already fled abroad.

After the conflict with the Feng family, Chen Fan was forced to flee to Hangzhou and become a live-in son-in-law.

In this, the power of the Feng family was not the main reason.

The Feng family, as a royal family of thousands of years, had terrifying foundations and influence, and at the same time, they were a cause for concern for many secular top aristocratic families. They were registered with the authorities.

Chen Fan, as the Undefeated Heavenly King, was not something the Feng family could deal with, otherwise they would have killed Chen Fan for revenge three years ago.

What truly played a role were the top aristocratic families.

Among the seven top aristocratic families in the capital, the Shen, Luo, and Yuan families had very clear attitudes: they wanted to severely punish Chen Fan.

Even though Chen Fan had made great military contributions and was a pillar of the nation, they would never tolerate excessive killing and disregard for the law.

The Chen family naturally tried their best to protect him, and Old Master Chen paid a considerable price for it.

The remaining Xiang, Han, and Wu families had a more neutral attitude, advocating for punishment for Chen Fan, but leaving room for maneuver.

According to Old Master Chen, the matter was at an impasse and difficult to resolve.

In the end, it was the Imperial family that made the decision, allowing Chen Fan to go into hiding for a period of time as a resolution.

However, the Qingyan Town incident could not be said to have been clarified.

Of course, at that point, apart from the Feng family and Chen Fan, the other top aristocratic families were no longer very concerned.

And it is difficult to say whether the other six families, besides the Chen family, were involved in the original incident!

After all, after the Qingyan Town blood case, too many forces intervened in the handling of those culprits.

Otherwise, how could Chen Fan, the dignified God of War in the military, have been treated perfunctorily and evasively?

There were exchanges of relationships and interests, for example, the Zheng family, which was destroyed by Chen Fan, was said to be a subordinate of the Shen family. The He family and the Luo family had an unusual relationship!

The events of that year were confusing and difficult to clarify.

However, now, from Zhao Quan's mouth, Chen Fan learned another key point.

That was the phone call made by Liang Zhida.

"What did Liang Zhida say on the phone?"

Chen Fan asked.

Zhao Quan shook his head, "I don't know. It was clearly something very important, otherwise those people wouldn't have instigated Young Master He and the others to kill, causing such a big incident!"

He said with a bitter face, "If Liang Zhida hadn't seen me, perhaps my family wouldn't have been destroyed."

There were many people in the circle he used to associate with, and he was just one of the many followers and errand runners, but only he ended up with his family destroyed.

Chen Fan narrowed his eyes and stood by the window with his hands behind his back, saying, "Do you think they found that item?"

Zhao Quan was silent for a moment and said, "I don't know."

"They probably haven't found it."

Chen Fan said, "Otherwise, when we left the Ghost Market last night, we wouldn't have gone to such lengths."

"They should be certain that you don't know the whereabouts of that item, but they are worried that you might have given me a clue, allowing me to find that item!"

"That item is crucial, and obtaining it can unravel all the mysteries!"

Chen Fan's gaze was clear.

Three years later, looking back from outside the situation, many things became much clearer.

In the affairs of the world, once done, they leave traces.

More than three years have passed, and the traces have faded considerably, but viewed with a more rational eye, some traces are actually more obvious.

Zhao Quan said, "Now I believe you can find them and avenge me!"

"Don't worry, I will do what I promised!"

As soon as Chen Fan finished speaking, there was a knock on the door.

Then the door was pushed open.

A man in his sixties, accompanied by bodyguards, walked in.

This man was tall and strong, with deep and sharp eyes, exuding an extremely powerful aura and dignity.

This aura of dignity was rare among the people Chen Fan had encountered. Perhaps only when Old Master Chen and the Dragon Head were stern could they be compared.

But Chen Fan was very familiar with Old Master Chen and the Dragon Head, so he did not feel the dignity strongly.

Upon seeing this man, Chen Fan was stunned. He quickly turned and took a few steps closer, bowed slightly, and greeted, "Han... Patriarch!"

This man was the father of Han Wei and Han Tong, the patriarch of the top aristocratic family, the Han family, and one of the most powerful figures in Da Xia, Han Tiecheng.

Having held immense power for many years, Han Tiecheng possessed an extremely strong aura of a superior.

Both publicly and privately, Chen Fan had to lower his stance somewhat.

Of course, with Chen Fan's powerful state of mind, he would not be overly submissive.

"Your father and I were friends in the early years. You and Han Wei encountered such danger together, can I not call you Uncle?"

Upon hearing Chen Fan's address, Han Tiecheng frowned and snorted.

Chen Fan was slightly surprised, but he immediately changed his address smoothly, "Uncle Han!"

Han Tiecheng was noncommittal and asked, "How is your grandfather's health?"

"Very good!"

Chen Fan replied, "He's still quite strong, just getting old, and his energy is not what it used to be."

"Leaving the affairs of the Han family to you, he can relax a bit."

Han Tiecheng said, "However, can you handle it properly?"

Chen Fan secretly thought that Han Tiecheng's information was quite well-informed, and he already knew a lot about the internal affairs of the Chen family.

He was also unsure of the meaning of this question and replied, "I will do my best."

"Just do your best?"

Han Tiecheng said indifferently, "You went to the Guan Kou Ghost Market with Han Wei, won ten consecutive victories in underground boxing matches, and were bombed by rockets and swept by machine guns with Han Wei. Is that what you call doing your best?"

At this point, the displeasure and dissatisfaction were obvious, and Chen Fan was momentarily speechless.
