Chapter 672 The True Identity of Boss Tang
Murong Ting frowned: "You mean, Qin Yiyi colluded with the Tang family to vie for the position of family head?"
Qin Feng nodded: "Not bad."
"But Qin Yiyi and Tang Zhi have never had any relationship, so why would Tang Zhi help her?" Kong Wange asked, puzzled.
“That’s exactly what I’m curious about.” Qin Feng spoke up at this moment: “At first, I didn’t know why the Tang family was helping her. Qin Yiyi went crazy and we couldn’t get anything out of her, so I had my men investigate secretly. Just yesterday, my men finally found out the terms of the deal between Qin Yiyi and Tang Zhi.”
"What is it?" Kong Wange asked subconsciously.
Qin Feng's gaze deepened slightly: "A jade pendant."
"A jade pendant?" Kong Wange was stunned.
Qin Feng stood up and walked over to the two of them: "It's the Su family's White Tiger Jade. Qin Yiyi used it as a bargaining chip, and Tang Zhi agreed to help her seize power. She thought she had the upper hand in this deal, but she didn't realize that the Tang family could not be manipulated by a little girl like her. She was just a pawn in Tang Zhi's game."
Qin Feng's words were so revealing that both Murong Ting and Kong Wange fell silent for a moment.
After a long pause, Murong Ting said in a deep voice, "Su Yan did indeed speak to me on the phone some time ago, saying that the Su family's heirloom jade pendant was lost and asked me to help find it."
"So, this jade pendant was stolen by Qin Yiyi and then given to Tang Zhi?" Kong Wange said, then asked, still puzzled, "But I still don't understand, what kind of jade pendant is this? Is it very valuable? The Tang family is one of the four major families in the capital. What valuable things haven't they seen? How could a jade pendant persuade Tang Zhi to take such a big risk? After all, the Qin family's power is not to be underestimated. Tang Zhi couldn't possibly not understand this."
Qin Feng shook his head and slowly said, "I don't understand this either, but I have a feeling that the Tang family's interference in the Qin family's affairs is not accidental, but rather a long-term scheme. Not only that, I have also found out that the death of your Wen family's former head, Wen Zhengning, was also suspicious. It was done by an assassin named Qianliu."
"Qianliu?" Kong Wange exclaimed in surprise, "He has always been Wen Zhengning's right-hand man. You're saying he killed Wen Zhengning? Are you sure?"
Qin Feng said calmly, "Miss Kong, are you doubting the intelligence capabilities of our Shadow Gate?"
Kong Wange pursed her lips: "I didn't mean that, it's just..."
“It’s just hard to imagine for a moment,” Qin Feng said. “That’s because although Miss Kong knows that Qianliu is Wen Zhengning’s capable subordinate, she doesn’t know that Qianliu’s true identity is actually Tang Zhi’s right-hand man.”
Kong Wange stared in shock, her eyes wide: "What did you say?!"
"Qianliu is the second-ranked top assassin on the dark web. He has been working for Tang Zhi for twenty years, but this relationship has been kept very secret and no one has ever known it," Qin Feng said slowly.
Murong Ting frowned: "You said that Tang Zhi ordered Qian Liu to kill Wen Zhengning, do you have any evidence?"
Qin Feng looked at Murong Ting and said calmly, "Young Master Ting, I know you have a good relationship with Tang Minghao, the second young master of the Tang family, but that doesn't mean Tang Zhi is without problems. Think about it carefully. After Wen Zheng died, have you seen Qian Liu again? He didn't go into seclusion in the mountains; he returned to Tang Zhi's side to report back."
“But I don’t understand,” Kong Wange frowned as well: “Qianliu has been by Wen Zhengning’s side for so many years. If Tang Zhi’s order was to take Wen Zhengning’s life, he could have done it at any time. Why did he have to wait until the Wen family’s family was in turmoil before he could act? What was he waiting for?”
Qin Feng pondered, "Is it possible that Qian Liu's mission wasn't to kill Wen Zhengning? His killing of Wen Zhengning was purely accidental, perhaps a desperate act of robbery. After Wen Zhengning's death, did your Wen family lose anything?"
Kong Wange was startled, then looked at Murong Ting.
The latter clearly had the same idea as her—a jade pendant!
Kong Wange took a deep breath: "The Wen family's Blood Phoenix Jade Pendant is gone."
"The Wen family's jade pendant is also missing?" Qin Feng had already figured out the Tang family's wolfish ambitions, but he was still taken aback when he heard this.
"Another jade pendant. It seems that Tang Zhi has already obtained three of the five jades of the capital. So, it's truly unbelievable that he has been plotting for so long just to seize a few pieces of ancient jade." Qin Feng frowned.
"The Five Jade Items are ancient artifacts. Perhaps they can have some miraculous effects when combined. Tang Zhi probably knows the secret behind them, which is why he spared no expense to collect the Five Jade Items," Qin Feng speculated.
Kong Wange paused, then suddenly remembered something and immediately said, "If Tang Zhizhen really is after the Five Jade Pendants, then he probably has not only obtained three, but four jade pendants. Ah Ting, do you still remember the letter I sent you back then... You said you didn't receive it, which is why we have had such a misunderstanding for so many years."
Murong Ting nodded: "I racked my brains trying to figure out who was trying to sow discord between us and steal the letter. I thought it was Wen Luoyun, but she said she only plotted against us and didn't know anything about the letter."
"Ah Ting, the Azure Dragon Jade Pendant you gave me as a token of your love was also in that letter!"
Murong Ting instantly understood his meaning: "You mean the person who stole the letter wasn't because of the letter itself, but because..." He nodded and continued to speculate: "Ah Ting, the Azure Dragon Jade Pendant is an heirloom of the An family. I remember you said that your jade pendant was left to you by your mother?"
Murong Ting nodded: "That's right. My mother was in poor health since childhood. This jade pendant was given to her by my maternal grandmother for protection. It was not until she passed away that it ended up in my hands."
Kong Wange took a deep breath and said, "Boss Tang, Tang Zhi, the first characters sound very similar. Is it possible that Tang Zhi is Boss Tang, and that your parents passed away because of..."
Before he could finish speaking, Murong Ting already understood.
If Tang Zhi is indeed Boss Tang, and he has been collecting jade pendants for some unknown reason, then the root cause of his parents' deaths is very likely that he was the one who caused them!
The Wen family was most likely just a cover for the other party to conceal the truth. After all, at that time, Tang Laoda had already been in a deep relationship with Wen Zirou, and the fake medicine incident was exposed. The Wen family was the most likely motive for the deaths of his parents.
So Tang took the opportunity to throw this dirty water on the Wen family.
As it turns out, this tactic worked. Over the years, Anya has focused all her hatred on the Wen family.
Who would have thought that the real culprit was watching the fight from the sidelines?
If that's the case, then everything makes sense.
Kong Wange and Murong Ting are both intelligent people. Qin Feng's words were enough to get them to understand the intricacies of the matter.
However, what Qin Feng cared about more was not that, but...
"Young Master Ting, I don't know the details of what you said about the letter, but from what you're saying, it seems that Tang Zhi has also obtained the Azure Dragon Jade Pendant from your An family?"
