When Peng Hao made his move, Lu Qing guessed that he might be the one who had obtained the evil cultivation technique.
In order to lure out the vengeful clan hiding behind her, she almost crushed the chair, barely managing to suppress the urge to punish him.
"Gu Xicheng, let's go and explain to my older brother and sister-in-law!"
Gu Xicheng: "Okay."
Chu Qianlan took Liao Zhenzhen back to his residence outside.
When Gu Xicheng and Lu Qing arrived, her complexion had improved somewhat, but her eyes were still red.
"Sister-in-law, how are you?" Lu Qing asked with concern.
Liao Zhenzhen forced a smile:
“I’m okay, but I feel sorry for the three victims and their families.”
They trusted me so much, and yet... I let them down!
Lu Qing: "Sister-in-law, that's not your fault."
"Actually, I came here to tell you that Peng Hao used abnormal means to persuade Wang Manman to recant her testimony."
"Unconventional methods?" Liao Zhenzhen asked, puzzled.
"Your older brother must have told you something about me, right?"
Liao Zhenzhen nodded slightly: "I mentioned it a little."
"Well... to put it simply, some bad guys gave Peng Hao a wicked cultivation technique and made him practice it. Peng Hao then gained some special abilities and controlled Wang Manman to lie."
So this isn't your fault. I was down there trying to stop him, but I couldn't catch the bad guy behind him, so I thought I'd use this opportunity to lure him out.
"Sister-in-law, I'm so sorry you've been wronged!"
Liao Zhenzhen roughly understood and shook her head repeatedly:
"Qingqing, you don't need to apologize! You did the right thing!"
"What do you need me to do right now?"
"One word: delay!" Lu Qing said.
"Drag?" Liao Zhenzhen asked, puzzled.
Lu Qing: "Sister-in-law, I need you to stall this case, stall Peng Hao, and prevent Huang Guozhong from being acquitted so quickly, so as to buy us time."
The Li Clan could appear by Peng Hao's side at any time. If Peng Hao were to help Huang Guozhong get away with his crime before then, it would be unfair to the three victims.
The perpetrators behind Peng Hao must be apprehended, and Huang Guozhong's crimes must also be established.
But these things take time.
All Lu Qing could do was wait.
Waiting for a rabbit to run into a tree stump!
Lu Qingrang sent out three small paper figures, who worked in three shifts to guard Peng Hao's side.
After monitoring him for several days, Lu Qing discovered that Peng Hao was indeed driven by an almost obsessive greed for money.
They'll do anything, no matter how heinous, as long as they're paid.
His safe contained documents that were evidence of the shady things he had done.
He kept this evidence and asked those people for money every now and then.
Among those people were high-ranking officials, company CEOs, and some were second-generation rich kids.
Lu Qing had the little paper doll take pictures of all those things and then handed them to Chu Qianlan and Liao Zhenzhen.
They were just waiting for the Li Clan to take the bait before dealing with Peng Hao.
As the saying goes, perseverance pays off. After Lu Qing had been keeping watch for nearly a month, Peng Hao finally made a move.
It wasn't that the Li Clan appeared on their own initiative, but rather that Peng Hao went to great lengths to approach them.
Because Huang Guozhong's case has been delayed, Liao Zhenzhen can't do anything to him, but he can't do anything to Liao Zhenzhen either.
Therefore, Peng Hao wanted to use evil magic again.
This time, Lu Qing tripped him up when he tried to make a move, and he failed several times for no apparent reason.
He thought there had been a problem with his cultivation, and Huang Guozhong was pressing him hard, so he had no choice but to try to find the Li Clan.
His solution was to find a secluded place and release the evil energy there.
Because that person had told him not to overuse it, otherwise the Xuanmen people would find out.
Peng Hao was also afraid of being discovered, but he was even more afraid that Huang Guozhong would not give him the money.
That's fifty million!
His method worked, and the Li Clan did indeed appear.
A cloud of black mist swept in and carried Peng Hao away.
The little paper figure hiding in the grass immediately gave chase and sent a signal to Lu Qing.
Lu Qing and Gu Xicheng rushed over immediately.
The Li Clan dragged Peng Hao to the commercial street, and when the two arrived, they immediately sensed something was wrong.
"The Li Clan chose this place, how wonderful!" Lu Qing gritted his teeth.
The commercial street, especially the commercial street around 7 pm!
This is when there are the most people.
The Li Clan can possess anyone, or even not possess anyone at all.
He only needs to create some chaos, and the entire commercial street will explode like a pot of boiling oil.
At that point, let alone finding the evil race, even guaranteeing the safety of ordinary people will be a problem.
"Where is Peng Hao now?" Gu Xicheng asked.
Lu Qing closed his eyes, sensed the location of the little paper figure, and then pointed to a shopping mall:
"The underground passage there!"
"Let's go over there first."
"good!"
The two quickly headed to the mall's underground area.
The underground passage was bustling with people. The Li Clan possessed Peng Hao's body and spoke to him without attracting attention.
Peng Hao: "I've failed to use this technique several times recently. Why is that?"
The Li Clan: "Your strength is too weak, so it's normal for you to fail."
Peng Hao: "But I've succeeded before, yet it just doesn't work on Liao Zhenzhen and Chu Qianlan!"
Lizu: "Who are you talking about? Chu Qianlan?"
Peng Hao: "What? You know him?"
The Li Clan seemed to realize something and immediately stopped Peng Hao from moving.
In no time, he withdrew from Peng Hao's body and turned to enter the body of a passerby.
That's right!
The Wraith Clan has been discovered!
This is a trap!
Gu Xicheng and Lu Qing realized something was wrong and quickly caught up with the girl who was possessed by the Li Clan.
The girl was wearing a short skirt, but she ran incredibly fast, not caring at all when her skirt was lifted up.
The commotion quickly attracted the attention of passersby.
Many people stopped and took out their phones to take pictures.
When people stop, the road is blocked.
The evil spirit then possessed another person and, under the cover of the noisy crowd, quickly left the scene.
Lu Qing and Gu Xicheng were blocked and failed to capture the Li Clan.
Damn it!
They didn't catch the Li Clan, but Peng Hao wouldn't let him escape.
Realizing something was wrong, Peng Hao tried to escape home, but Gu Xicheng grabbed him a second before he could get into a taxi.
"Who...who are you! Why are you arresting me!"
Lu Qing produced his identification:
"Lu Qing and Peng Hao from the Investigation Bureau, you are suspected of practicing evil arts. Come with me!"
Upon hearing this, Peng Hao's last shred of hope vanished.
Investigation Bureau.
Interrogation room.
Peng Hao was so frightened that his whole body was trembling.
He was easier to interrogate than Miao Yu and Yu Chunhua. Before Lu Qing even had a chance to use any methods, he had already confessed everything.
"I don't know what he is, but he gave me the cultivation technique!"
"He forced me to cultivate! It has nothing to do with me!"
Lu Qing couldn't help but sneer:
"He forced you to practice the cultivation technique, so he also forced you to fabricate evidence, incite witnesses to recant their testimonies, and extort money from them?"
"I..." Peng Hao couldn't speak.
“Peng Hao, the crimes you’ve committed are enough to keep you in jail until you die!” Lu Qing said coldly.
Peng Hao was terrified:
"No! It's not my fault! They forced me to do it!"
"I was just greedy for some money, I didn't mean to harm anyone!"
Suddenly, it felt like an electric current had passed through Lu Qing's mind.
What did you just say?
Peng Hao: "I...I said I was just a little greedy, I really was just a little greedy!"
Lu Qing's eyes suddenly narrowed.
That's right!
It's just greed!
She seemed to know the connections between Jian Yunxing, Miao Yu, Yu Chunhua, and Peng Hao.
