Chapter 33 The Opium Mystery 5: Using a Borrowed Knife to Kill



These two experiences are enough to give her a hard time, no, two hard times.

“Chen Hede went to great lengths to set this up. If we don’t show up, wouldn’t it be a waste of his good intentions?”

Although Cheng Muyun did not open his eyes, Xu Zhuohua could still feel the chill emanating from his body.

He's really unhappy right now!

Actually, when Xu Zhuohua was inexplicably sent to Huang's Cloth Shop and ran into Cheng Muyun there, she knew things weren't that simple.

Hu Moli's "that man" is meticulous and cunning. He can make Hu Moli obey him, and he can also abduct people from the Paramount Ballroom and escape detection during the police and military search.

Mr. Huo, the owner of the Paramount Ballroom, couldn't do it. There aren't many people who can do it. At the time, besides Leung Siu-Chun, there was only one other person who could do it.

Chen Hede.

He first made Cheng Muyun suspicious of Liang Shaozun, then kidnapped Xu Zhuohua, forcing Cheng Muyun to take action.

Three days is a time limit, the limit of Cheng Muyun's patience.

If Xu Zhuohua doesn't show up for three days, Cheng Muyun will definitely be unable to resist checking Liang Shaozun's wounds, and may even go directly to the Liang family to demand his return.

Chen Hede had calculated everything perfectly: Cheng Muyun hated opium to the core and cherished Xu Zhuohua dearly. At the same time, he had his hands on Xu Zhuohua's two weaknesses, making him do whatever he was told.

Is that Chen Hede?

Cheng Muyun nodded, opened his eyes, and the redness in his eyes had faded considerably, making his gaze much clearer.

“He knew I would definitely investigate the opium case, but the Cheng family and the Liang family were on good terms. He wasn’t sure if I would touch Liang Shaozun, so he kidnapped you to make me mistakenly believe that Liang Shaozun was the one who did it, forcing me to investigate Liang Shaozun.”

Xu Zhuohua asked, "Did you investigate Liang Shaozun?"

Cheng Muyun shook his head.

"Then why did he let me go?"

Cheng Muyun gently pinched Xu Zhuohua's nose, "Because I've found the crucial evidence."

Chen Hede spent the whole day acting with Cheng Muyun, pretending to look for Xu Zhuohua, but actually observing Cheng Muyun's reaction.

In the end, Cheng Muyun couldn't hold out until the third day, or even the first day.

Knowing he couldn't deal with the Liang family, Cheng Muyun went directly to Cheng Yuguang and told him the truth.

When Cheng Muyun successfully obtained the elite troops to investigate the silver loss case at Huang's Cloth Shop, Chen Hede knew that Cheng Muyun would definitely discover the opium, which was the same as the opium from a year ago in terms of purity and packaging.

At this point, he was certain that the Cheng family would investigate to the end.

That's why Chen Hede released Xu Zhuohua and even sent someone to deliver her to Cheng Muyun.

When Cheng Muyun saw the opium residue at Huang's Cloth Shop, he realized that the person who kidnapped Xu Zhuohua was Chen Hede.

Chen Hede wanted to use someone else to do his dirty work.

Borrowing the Cheng family's knife, they killed the Liang family.
