Chapter 19 Search
Lian Ye couldn't tell which one the source of his inner grief and anger was, the fact that he couldn't find his body or the fact that Chi Tiansheng's soul was missing.
"Young Master, are you okay? Do you need to call a doctor?" Old Xu has been taking care of Chi Tiansheng for many years and can see that something is wrong with the young master.
"I'm fine. Has there been any movement from the Luo family in the past two days?" Lian Ye took a deep breath. He had to remain calm and composed. There were still many problems waiting for him to deal with.
Old Xu nodded and said with a wry smile, "That was quite a commotion, especially the third child. He ran to the South Bank like crazy every day. He thought our search and rescue team was going to catch the killer in his family. When he saw our people, he was so jealous that he wanted to kill them."
It seems that Luo Pingcheng really didn't know his second brother's plan. When he gave him the order that night, Luo Pingcheng sincerely thought that Luo Pingfeng was giving him a chance to make amends.
Luo Pingcheng rushed into Luo Pingfeng's office with red eyes, and Bai He couldn't stop him.
"Have you just come back from the South Coast? You still smell like the salty sea water." Luo Pingfeng raised his hand in disgust to disperse the air in front of him.
"Second brother, what happened that night? Didn't you say the target was on the South Bank? As long as we get it done overnight—"
Hearing the diving team say there was no hope and that the creature had definitely sunk into the sea, Luo Pingcheng felt like his heart was about to explode. He didn't know how he rushed to his second brother and took advantage of the momentum to ask about what happened that night.
Luo Pingcheng never dared to ask any more questions about his second brother's arrangements, words, or anything he did, but this time was an exception.
Meeting Luo Pingfeng's cold and displeased eyes, Luo Pingcheng felt like he was sinking into an icy pond and calmed down instantly.
Recalling what Luo Pingfeng said that day, he thought carefully about how to choose between the Luo family and Lian Ye.
"So, that's how Second Brother arranged it from the beginning? You didn't intend for him to come back alive, did you?"
Luo Pingcheng couldn't tell what was flowing from his eyes. He hadn't shed tears for anyone's death for a long time, so long that he had forgotten the meaning of tears.
"Are you crying? Over a toy? The dignified Third Young Master of the Luo family is crying?"
Even though the target was his own brother, Luo Pingfeng did not show the slightest bit of mercy. He just mechanically took out a handkerchief from his pocket, pressed it hard on Luo Pingcheng's chest, and spoke calmly and briefly in a commanding tone.
"Wipe it clean!"
Luo Pingcheng took the handkerchief tremblingly and held it tightly. Instead of wiping away his tears, he looked up at Luo Pingfeng and corrected him word by word firmly.
"Second brother, Lian Ye is not my toy. He is my dog. I have raised him for many years and he has always been by my side."
Luo Pingcheng respectfully put the handkerchief back into Luo Pingfeng's hand, raised his hand and wiped his face with his sleeve, then bowed to Luo Pingfeng and said goodbye.
"I will get him back, dead or alive."
Luo Pingcheng strode out. This was the first time he decided what to do, not what his father wanted him to do, nor what his second brother asked him to do.
Find Lian Ye, I must find him. This obsession follows him like a shadow, pushing Luo Pingcheng forward without looking back.
Shi Mingguang looked at the information he had collected over the past few days and felt that he couldn't just sit there and do nothing. He stood up and asked, "Which hospital is Chi Tiansheng in? Can you find out? I think I must go see him."
If the man he met by chance in the alley that night was really the assassin of the Luo family, then the person the assassin dealt with that night was the middleman who provided inside information to the Chi family.
The middleman caused the Luo family to lose the precious land on the South Bank in the bidding, and the Luo family retaliated against the middleman.
However, the matter did not end there. The young master of the Chi family and the killer of the Luo family fell to the south bank together.
"Don't mess with these people anymore. The Chi family is no pushover. The assassin from the Luo family was most likely dealt with by the Chi family. The young master of the Chi family miraculously came back alive is also strange. Maybe this is a trick within a trick? Did the Chi family set up a plan, using a self-torture trick to deal with the assassin from the Luo family, and now they want to put the blame on the Luo family?"
Lawyer Xu stopped Shi Mingguang and shook his head. He always felt that the matter was not simple. He also felt that Shi Mingguang was involved in the feud between the Luo family and the Chi family, and he would get into bigger trouble if he was not careful.
"If that's the case, I'd like to meet Chi Tiansheng."
Shi Mingguang remained steadfast. The photo of him and the killer meeting in the alley was posted online and circulated everywhere. The Chi family must have seen it.
The Chi family was most likely looking for the criminal who killed the middleman. After seeing the photo, they discovered the killer from the Luo family and planned to kill him in the South Bank.
"Did I kill that man?"
Shi Mingguang stood in front of the gate of the hospital where Chi Tiansheng was. He had been confused by this question for several days and he really wanted to find the answer from Chi Tiansheng.
