Chapter 305 Scapegoat

"Damn it, we lost them!" Zhao Bo gasped for breath.

He gave it his all and chased Chen Wei for a full five minutes, but in the end he was left far behind and couldn't even see him anymore, leaving himself exhausted.

This is the fastest speed Zhao Bo has ever used in his life.

He found it hard to imagine how Chen Wei managed to move at that speed while carrying a person.

Cheating?

"Let's go back and tell Patriarch Liu and the others about this first." Zhao Bo had calmed down enough, stood up, and returned the way he came.

In the very center of the hall lay Yagyu's corpse.

boom!
When Zhao Bo arrived at his home, he saw the family head, Liu Cheng, slam his hand hard on the tea table and grit his teeth, saying, "A throat-slitting slash? Who on earth has such a deep grudge against our Liu family that they would resort to such a brutal attack?"

A slit throat?

If Zhao Bo remembered correctly, there shouldn't have been any bleeding wounds on Liu Sheng before.

How come it's turned into a throat-slitting incident now?
"Dad, I will definitely find that person and avenge my brother!" Liu Qin said, stepping forward.

"No need, you can focus on handling things at the company. I'll take care of this matter." Liu Cheng waved his hand.

"Master Zhao, how did it go? Did you catch the murderer?" Liu Cheng asked with a hint of expectation upon seeing Zhao Bo return.

Zhao Bo shook his head and admitted, "That person's footwork is very fast; I can't keep up."

"Even Master Zhao, you can't keep up?" Liu Cheng had witnessed Zhao Bo's light and agile footwork before, and in his opinion, a human reaching that speed was already abnormal enough.

I never expected there would be someone even more monstrous than him.

"To be honest, that person was probably a killer who specialized in footwork, while I mainly practice fist techniques," Zhao Bo said, trying to find an excuse for himself.

It's not that I'm inferior; it's just that we're comparing ourselves to each other in areas where the other party excels.

"Master Zhao, this time, I need your help again to find the murderer who killed my son," Liu Cheng pleaded.

"Don't worry, Young Master Liu is practically my apprentice, I won't let him die in vain," Zhao Bo assured him. "However..."

Liu Cheng understood, "Don't worry, Master Zhao, I definitely won't let you work for nothing."

"It's a bit vulgar, but sects also need to cover expenses, so I hope Patriarch Liu will understand."

"I understand. Of course I understand."

After the two old foxes finished talking, Liu Qin finally found an opportunity to speak and interjected, "Dad, now that my brother is dead, those old guys on the board of directors might take action after they find out. With the authority I have now, I'm afraid it will be difficult to suppress them."

Liu Cheng sighed, "Fine, then you can take the chairman's seat."

"Thank you, Dad. Don't worry, I will never let you down." Liu Qin suppressed her laughter, lowered her head, and her lips twitched slightly.

Her younger brother, Yagyu, had just died. If she, as his older sister, acted too happy, wouldn't that arouse suspicion?
"..." However, Zhao Bo still managed to capture this scene.

All these coincidences were too much to bear, and Zhao Bo couldn't help but suspect that Liu Sheng's death was related to Liu Qin, the biggest beneficiary.

However, having also profited from the situation, and with Liu Qin's recent promotion, Zhao Bo decided to stop thinking about it to avoid getting into trouble.

If Yagyu's death was truly related to Yagyuqin.

Is a woman like this, who would even harm her own brother in her quest for power, someone you can easily mess with?
I took a car to the company, got out of the elevator, and went straight into the office.

Liu Qin slowly squatted down by the door, hugged her knees, and giggled, "Finally, I finally succeeded!"

"However, now is not the time to be happy. Where on earth did that guy run off to?" Liu Qin couldn't help but feel a headache coming on.

He picked up the intercom on the table and dialed: "Xiaojing, come up here for a moment."

……

"Does President Liu want me to find the person in the photo?"

“Yes.” Liu Qin nodded in affirmation.

She had secretly taken this photo when Chen Wei wasn't looking, just to prevent this from happening again. Liu Qin knew very well that she had to find Chen Wei in front of Zhao Bo, otherwise, given the Liu family's influence, she would be exposed very quickly once he was caught.

"Okay, I see."

"please."

……

at the same time.

Chen Wei and Shen Xue had returned to the hotel, tossed their hats aside, and quickly removed their makeup.

He lay on the bed with Shen Xue.

"Brother, did you kill someone?" Shen Xue couldn't help but ask.

"No, I just turned him into a cripple. But even if I didn't kill him, someone else would have killed him." Chen Wei had long been aware of Liu Qin's presence, but he didn't expose her supposedly well-concealed disguise.

"For money, she actually went so far as to kill her own brother. That woman is truly ruthless!" Shen Xue said, unable to accept it.

"People die for money, birds die for food, it's normal," Chen Wei advised Shen Xue to take it easy.

“Money is indeed very important, but, brother, don’t worry, I will never betray or hurt you for money.” Shen Xue turned to the side, looked at Chen Wei, her eyes bright, and made her promise.

"If you want money, just tell me. Ten million, one hundred million, one billion, I can give you anything."

“Yeah, that’s true.” Shen Xue lay back down, looking at the ceiling. “Brother, you spoil me too much.”

"What law says I can't spoil my younger sister?"

"Then, please keep up the good work?"

“I like hearing that,” Chen Wei said, his breathing becoming increasingly labored.

After all that commotion, it's no wonder he was sleepy.

"..." Shen Xue sat up halfway, supporting herself with her hands, and leaned closer to carefully observe Chen Wei.

"It's so wonderful to be a younger sister." She curled up next to Chen Wei, a smile on her face, and drifted off to sleep.

Later in the night.

Back mountain.

Upon hearing footsteps, the man's first feeling was fear.

The sticky feeling in his ears brought back that nightmare.

The flashlight shone on his face, and he squinted, slowly adjusting his eyes before realizing that he had seen these people before at the Liu family's residence.

"Great, great! Did Young Master Liu send you to rescue me?" the man exclaimed excitedly.

"Young Master Liu?"

"Is this guy crazy?"

"After killing Young Master Liu, you buried yourself in a place like this. Did you have nothing better to do?"

"Speaking of which, how did he bury himself in there?"

“Who would have thought…”

"Wait! What did you say? Young Master Liu... is dead?" The man felt a vague unease.

"Are you pretending to be ignorant? Of course Young Master Liu is dead, and you're the one who killed him."

"Are you kidding me? How could I possibly dare to kill Young Master Liu? There must be some misunderstanding here."

The group exchanged glances and reached behind their backs. "You should save these words for when you leave and explain them to Young Master Liu."

"no, do not want!"
