Chapter 240 Finding a Scapegoat (2/2)



"Don't waste your energy."

A mocking voice suddenly rang out. Feng Zhiwen looked up sharply, his eyes flashing with hatred. He gritted his teeth, his eyes bulging with fury: "It's you!"

Huo Cheng looked at him with a half-smile: "We meet again, Young Master Feng."

"I have no grudge against you, why did you harm me! Why did you harm my whole family!" Upon seeing his enemy, Feng Zhiwen was extremely agitated and wanted nothing more than to pounce on him and tear him apart!

He never expected that the other party would dare to show up so brazenly after harming him!

However, he was bound tightly and could not move at all.

Huo Cheng stepped forward, looking down at him and admiring his disheveled state. He lifted his chin and said, "What are you saying, Young Master Feng? I was just trying to help you make money. It's one thing if you're not grateful, but why do you look like you want to tear me apart?"

"How dare you say that!" Feng Zhiwen nearly ground his teeth to powder at his shamelessness. "If it weren't for you, my father wouldn't have ended up in jail!"

"Tsk, that's just your father's bad luck. He happened to run into the government investigating. What does that have to do with me?" He said with feigned regret. Feng Zhiwen's eyes were red. A mocking voice came from the corner.

Why are you wasting your breath talking to him?

He subconsciously turned his head to look. In the dark corner, the light was not very clear. The person was sitting in the dim light and shadow, and the outline of his face was blurred by the light. Feng Zhiwen only knew that he was a man.

He paused, then instinctively asked, "Who are you?"

The other person slightly raised their chin, ignoring him. He suddenly realized that the other person thought he wasn't qualified to talk to them.

Huo Cheng chuckled lightly, staring at Feng Zhiwen with an ambiguous expression: "Didn't you want to rescue your father? I can give you an idea."

Although Feng Zhiwen was naive, she wasn't stupid. Upon hearing this, she glared at him warily, her eyes almost overflowing with defensiveness: "You would be so kind?"

He suddenly realized that the other party's purpose in capturing him might not be so simple!

Huo Cheng simply smiled, lowered his body slightly, and said in a seemingly understanding manner, "Actually, your father's matter can be a big deal or a small deal. We just need to shift the focus. As long as we expose the person who instructed him, he might be able to redeem himself."

Feng Zhiwen pursed his lips, his throat tightening: "What do you mean?"

Huo Cheng narrowed his eyes, a glint of light flashing in them: "Those weapons were actually transported into the capital under duress. That person was the current Crown Prince."

His pupils contracted sharply, and Feng Zhiwen's breath hitched. He instinctively said, "But I don't know any prince at all!"

"It's alright, someone knows her." Huo Cheng lowered his voice and said with interest, "Your cousin Chi Yan married the eldest daughter of the Shen family, right? She's His Highness the Crown Prince's cousin. We're all family, so helping out a little shouldn't be a problem, right?"

Feng Zhiwen's eyes widened, his heart filled with shock!

He's not a three-year-old child. If he were to admit to this, it would be a devastating blow to the Chi family!

Seeing his hesitation, Huo Cheng's eyes deepened, his voice laced with seduction: "Feng Zhiwen, your father is in jail, and your cousin hasn't done anything about it. He clearly has the ability to get your father out, but he chose to stand by and watch. Such indifference chills even an outsider like me!"

Feng Zhiwen clenched his fists, his jaw muscles tightened slightly, and he seemed somewhat hesitant.

Huo Cheng pressed on, "He was the one who was unrighteous first, so how can you blame him for being unjust?"

Feng Zhiwen's breathing quickened, and he suddenly looked up: "Who exactly are you people?"
