Chapter 144 Murder



The family doctor arrived at the villa and performed emergency first aid, which helped Wen Zhengcai recover.

He recalled what Tong Le had just said, and suddenly felt a rush of blood to his head, causing him to faint.

Wen Zhengtian forced himself to sit up and said, "You all get out!"

His authoritative voice didn't sound like someone who had been bedridden for a long time.

What did he hear? Did Tong Le find out the details of the car accident?

Duan Peng, Butler Zhu, and the rest of the group went out.

Wen Zhengtian composed himself, and this time his heart was as calm as a still lake, without a ripple. "Tong Le, what did you just say?"

Situ Ming repeated, his voice carrying a chill, "The car accident, I've found out!"

Situ Ming's eyes narrowed, his gaze like a sharp sword piercing the darkness. "They were... murdered by Situ Kun! But the motive is still unknown."

The driver's code name is "Zero One". He was originally a mercenary in the Dragon Journey Department, but was later bought by Xue Fangfei and became her driver.

After that, he did some shady things specifically for Xue Fangfei.

Later, by chance, he overheard Situ Kun and Python Master talking about trading arms, which led to him being hunted down.

Situ Le's rescue of him was a complete accident, and it was only through his vigorous self-promotion that he became Situ Le's driver.

Another point is that Xue Fangfei's private life is incredibly chaotic. She has affairs with people of all ages, and even her driver fell for her charms.

He and Yang Zhuo investigated the whole story and found that the driver was not without relatives; he had an elderly mother who lived in the countryside.

Situ Kun knew all of this, and used it to blackmail the driver into obeying him.

Given Situ Kun's power, silencing the driver would have been easy, but he chose to exploit him instead.

The driver is like a knife; whichever direction he points, that's where he'll stab.

Wen Cailing suffers from severe depression, which was triggered by the medication she took. In addition, different women and children would occasionally come to her and act arrogantly, which exacerbated her depression.

The driver was also cunning and had earned Situ Le's trust. He would often deliver things to Wen Cailing on Situ Le's behalf, so it was he who administered the medication that triggered her depression.

When Situ Ming was four years old, he was playing hide-and-seek and hid in the study cabinet. He fell asleep.

A loud commotion woke him up; it was the voices of Situ Le and Situ Kun.

Situ Ming couldn't understand what they were arguing about, only that the two were arguing fiercely. Later, Situ Le slammed the door and left. At this time, Situ Le was only twenty-one years old.

In the latter half of the year, Wen Cailing's depression became very serious, and Situ Le had no choice but to take Wen Cailing abroad for treatment.

On their way back, Situ Kun threatened the driver with the driver's mother and killed both of them.

In despair, the driver chose to crash the car and die. His mother was also brutally murdered by Situ Kun.

The reason we couldn't find anything before was that everyone thought it was done by Situ Kun's other women, and no one suspected Situ Kun at all.

When Yang Zhuo investigated, he started by examining Wen Cailing's depression and Situ Kun's rivals one by one.

Again, there was no result. When nine-year-old Situ Ming saw the information Yang Zhuo had investigated, he said, almost as if possessed, "Why not investigate Situ Kun?"

Yang Zhuo said at the time, "Everyone in the Henry Group knows about Situ Kun's respect and affection for Wen Cailing; it's an open secret."

Situ Ming said sarcastically, "Situ Kun's love is like sulfuric acid, relentlessly burning Wen Cailing's face, making her unrecognizable. Focus your investigation in this direction."

Wen Zhengtian remained silent for a long time, lost in thought.

Situ Ming gently placed a music box in front of Wen Zhengtian.

Wen Zhengtian's gaze fell on the music box, a hint of surprise flashing in his eyes. He said softly, "This was a gift I had someone give to your mother when she turned eighteen. She was pregnant with your brother at the time. This music box can record music; it was a birthday present I gave her."

Situ Ming turned a mechanism on the music box, and the sound it emitted was not Wen Cailing's voice, but the driver's voice.

"This is what the driver secretly left in the music box before he left."

All of this is evidence, but it's unclear why Situ Kun killed his elder brother and mother.

"Where did you get this?" Wen Zhengtian asked, his withered hands trembling as he picked up the small music box, tears welling in his eyes.

Situ Ming took a sip of water and slowly said, "Situ Kun's study!"

Even the most cunning tiger has its moments of weakness. On the day I returned to my old home in Southeast Asia, the weather was gloomy, and a typhoon had just swept across the entire region.

Many places experienced power and water outages, and many people died. The Situ family's old residence was one of the disaster areas, and even more severely affected. Situ Kun was at the Dragon Journey Department that day and was not at the old residence.

Taking advantage of the chaos caused by the natural disaster, Situ Ming sneaked into Situ Kun's study, but unfortunately found nothing except the music box in the Zhenpin Pavilion.

He had seen this music box before; it had always been on his mother's dressing table in her room. How could it have ended up here?

Back in China, Situ Ming lay on his bed, playing with a music box in his hand.

He accidentally triggered a mechanism, and the driver's recording was played out directly.

Wen Zhengtian's eyes were bloodshot. "What do you plan to do?"

Situ Ming leaned back in his carved chair. "We can't touch Situ Kun's Henry Group yet."

The old man on the bed looked at his grandson and suddenly felt that he had grown up and become much more mature, even though he was only seventeen years old.

Situ Ming chuckled, "Don't look at me like that. I know my own limitations!"

Upon hearing this recording, I felt more anger than sadness or grief.

Situ Kun lied to his mother!

Wen Zhengtian regained his composure and said, "Now you're acting like a hunter."

Situ Ming tucked the blanket around Wen Zhengtian, saying, "Grandpa, you are my only family in this world."

Wen Zhengtian's eyes turned even redder. "You brat, get out of here! I need to rest!"

Situ Ming nodded, "You old fool, why are you still swearing? I've already called you grandpa!"

Wen Zhengtian lay down on his side, his voice hoarse and nasal, "Get out, get out of here right now, I really need to rest."

Situ Ming chuckled as he left the bedroom. The title "Grandpa" wasn't so hard to say after all.

Upon hearing the door close, Wen Zhengtian could no longer suppress his emotions, and tears welled up in his eyes.

"Yinyin, did you hear that? Tongle is finally willing to call me Grandpa publicly!" He muttered to himself, wiping away tears. "That wretched little guy, he really knows how to get emotional!"

The next morning, when the maids came to change the bedsheets, they were puzzled and surprised.

The pillow was wet, as if someone had deliberately poured water on it.

Situ Ming returned to his room, lit two cigarettes, one of which spontaneously combusted on the bedside table, and the other he put in his mouth and smoked.

The room was completely dark, with only two lit cigarettes flickering in the darkness.
