Liu Family Villa.
"Dad! Where's Mom? Where's Mom??"
Liu Tianhao rushed in, wailing.
At this moment, Liu Mingsheng was sitting in the living room, burning paper money continuously, with a sorrowful expression on his face.
"Dad...why isn't a mourning tent set up? Where's Mom?"
Liu Mingsheng took a deep breath and said, "She's inside. Our Liu family owes its current status entirely to the relationship between your mother and the warlord's wife. If the news of your mother's death in the warlord's mansion gets out, it will be extremely detrimental to our Liu family. I have already ordered the servants to completely block the news, and no one is allowed to spread it!"
Liu Tianhao's expression twitched slightly.
Blocking the news?
The entire Lu family, numbering in the dozens, already knows. Tomorrow, the whole of Fengtian will probably know that his mother is dead!
"Dad, what happened? Mom was perfectly fine, how could she suddenly..."
Liu Mingsheng shook his head: "When the governor's mansion sent the person back, they didn't say anything, only that an accident had happened at the banquet and that we should accept the loss and move on!"
"To hell with your condolences! A person dies without even an explanation. What do you take the Liu family for?" Liu Tianhao's eyes were bloodshot, and his fists clenched so tightly they cracked.
"Just now, Xiongfeng announced the cancellation of all cooperation with our Liu family! And they threatened to blacklist our Liu family! The Fengtian Chamber of Commerce also expelled me immediately!"
Liu Mingsheng took a deep breath and said coldly, "If I'm not mistaken, someone is deliberately trying to frame our Liu family!"
"How is that possible? Who has such power? Could it be... the First Madam?" Liu Tianhao asked, his voice trembling.
Liu Mingsheng shook his head. "I'm not sure either, but I suspect something must have happened at the Governor's Mansion! I've already called your uncle, and he'll be back soon!"
"Brother-in-law, Tianhao, I'm back! My sister is dead? What happened?"
As soon as he finished speaking, a dignified man with a broad back and thick waist, wearing a black uniform with wheat ears embroidered on his epaulets, strode in from outside.
This man is Liu Tianhao's uncle, Li Yan's younger brother, Li Tielong!
The head of the Fengtian Police Station is in charge of all crimes and offenses in Fengtian!
He was also one of the First Madam's confidants!
"Uncle, you're finally back! My mother died under mysterious circumstances, you have to stand up for us!"
Liu Tianhao and his son quickly recounted what they knew about what had happened.
"Don't panic, I'll call the Madam right now and ask her what happened!"
With Li Tielong's authority, he could directly contact the military governor's office and immediately called the first wife's landline.
However, his expression turned ugly after he hung up the phone.
"Uncle, what exactly happened? What did the Madam say?" Liu Tianhao asked anxiously.
Li Tielong slowly shook his head. "The butler answered the phone. He said that the First Madam has been confined to her quarters by the Marshal!"
"What?"
Liu Mingsheng's pupils trembled. "It seems I guessed right. Something must have happened at the Governor's Mansion!"
“Very likely!” Li Tielong said with deep agreement, “In recent years, the First Madam’s power has grown stronger and stronger, which has aroused the Marshal’s suspicion!”
"Could it be... that the Commander-in-Chief intends to harm the First Madam?" Liu Mingsheng asked.
Li Tielong shook his head and then said, "It shouldn't be that bad. After all, the First Madam's family is a powerful clan in Yandu, wielding immense influence in the court. Even if the Commander-in-Chief is confused, he wouldn't dare to break ties with the Wu family!"
"What do we do now? Is my wife going to die without knowing why?" Liu Mingsheng felt a tightness in his chest. No matter what, his Liu family was a well-known and powerful family in Fengtian. He never expected that such a thing would happen.
"Don't panic. I'll investigate this. With the capabilities of my police station, I refuse to believe we can't find a clue!" A cold glint flashed in Li Tielong's eyes. His own sister was dead; he naturally needed an explanation!
"Oh, right!" At that moment, Liu Tianhao suddenly remembered something and quickly said, "Today at the Lu family's house, someone actually knew my mother was dead before I did!"
"Hmm?" Liu Mingsheng frowned immediately. "That's impossible! The person was secretly sent back by the Governor's Mansion. No one else but our Liu family could possibly know about it!"
"Could this person know the inside story?"
Li Tielong's expression changed drastically, and he immediately went into the house to check on Li Yan's body.
After reading it, he walked out with a solemn expression.
"Piercing a candle through the forehead—this kind of technique requires decades of skill to achieve!"
Li Tielong quickly grabbed Liu Tianhao and asked, "Tianhao, who is the person you're talking about?"
Liu Tianhao quickly said, "He's a son-in-law of the Lu family, about twenty years old!"
"In your twenties?" Li Tielong shook his head. "That's unlikely!"
Liu Tianhao's eyes flashed, and he quickly said, "Uncle, why don't you send someone to arrest him and bring him back? Let's interrogate him; maybe he'll know something!"
"Alright!" Li Tielong nodded. "I'll give you a team of men. Go and arrest that man! I'll interrogate him myself!"
"Alright, Uncle, don't worry, I guarantee I'll complete the mission!"
Liu Tianhao's lips curled into a cold smile. "Lin Yu, now that my uncle has intervened, you're dead meat!"
At the Lu family residence, the atmosphere was lively and filled with the clinking of glasses.
The old lady herself raised her glass.
"Here, let me offer you a toast!"
"With the Xiongfeng project, the Lu family's development has taken off! I think everyone will receive their dividends by the end of this year! All of this is thanks to Xueqing. Let's all raise a glass!"
"Respect, Xueqing!"
"A great contributor to our Lu family!"
Everyone raised their glasses, and Lu Xueqing trembled with excitement. This was the first time in the Lu family that her grandmother had led the way in toasting her!
