My version of Heavenly Dao is too old, so it's full of bugs.

Chapter 154 Only Merits
It turns out that

The Chen family is good at compromise.

If Huang Xiang and Li Wei want to use the entire Chen family to gain credit, then the Chen family will definitely fight to the death.

But now Li Wei only wants to make an example of someone, so the Chen family naturally backed down.

No one wanted to offend the Heavenly Emperor's special envoy and the enraged New Sea Thunder Department.

So Li Wei only sat in the reception room for a little over an hour before Chen Liangcai personally bought back the evidence that he had sent to the dark web for disposal at a high price and handed it to him.

"Lord Li, the matter has been investigated thoroughly. The person who instructed Secretary Qi to deliver the money was Hai Cheng's mother, and she was also the one who cursed Secretary Qi to death. These are all pieces of evidence against her!"

Chen Liangcai actually handed over his wife!

This was unexpected for Li Wei.

"I never expected that the one who committed the crime would be your noble lady! Patriarch Chen's act of putting righteousness before family is truly a model for all cultivators!"

Chen Liangcai gave a stiff smile: "We have to thank you for your keen observation, sir! If it weren't for you, how would we have discovered that that vile woman was so utterly depraved?!"

In just one day, Chen Liangcai not only lost his son and secretary, but also handed over his wife, suffering heavy losses.

Fortunately, sons can be born again, and secretaries and wives can be found again.

He decided to just consider himself incredibly unlucky.

Having already suffered maximum losses, Chen Liangcai, with a forced smile, took out a large box and quietly handed it to Li Wei:
"Inspector Li, the agreed-upon 3 billion in cash has already been converted into mid-grade spirit stones and placed here! I hope you can put in a good word for Special Envoy Huang later."

"Don't worry, don't worry, I will definitely pass on the message."

After Li Wei took the box, seeing the pained expression on the face of the head of the Divine Blood Clan, he laughed even more heartily.

Two months ago, Li Wei wouldn't even have been qualified to stand in front of Chen Liangcai, but now he can subdue the enemy without a fight, making the head of the Divine Blood Family hand over the evidence himself.

He clearly felt his own growth!
They also truly felt the benefits of Huang Xiang's special envoy. These divine blood families did not take the Thunder Department seriously, but they were still afraid of the Heavenly Emperor's name. After all, the Heavenly Emperor's mood could very well determine whether their Chen family could obtain a divine position in the future, so they dared not provoke the Heavenly Emperor's special envoy.

Of course, we should also thank Li Wei for choosing the easy target. Now that the Chen family no longer has any gods behind them, they are far more sensitive, more fragile, and more likely to compromise than ordinary divine blood families.

"Master Chen, may I ask where your esteemed lady is currently located?"

"I've already sent people to arrest him, and I'm sure we'll get a response soon!"

Before he could finish speaking, a member of the Chen family came back and reported, "Master, something terrible has happened!! Madam has committed suicide out of guilt!"

Although the Chen family agreed to hand over the person, the person they handed over could become new evidence, so they could only hand over a dead person so that everyone could feel at ease.

"Hey"

Chen Liangcai sighed, feigning a pained expression: "This is all that bitch's own fault. Now, hand her body over to Inspector Li. This case should be closed!"

Li Wei and the other Lei officers split into two groups. Bai Jie and the others returned to the Lei Department with the corpses and evidence to begin data entry.

Li Wei, however, arrived directly in front of Huang Xiang with 3 billion yuan in cash.

"Brother Huang! I have successfully completed my mission and have uncovered the true culprit who cursed Qi Nuannuan to death!"

"So fast?"

Huang Xiang was taken aback.

In his imagination, the Chen family would definitely put up a stubborn resistance and refuse to admit it to the death, and then Li Wei and his family would fight each other with their wits and solve the case. How come the investigation was completed in less than two hours?

"Brother Huang, I certainly couldn't have investigated this quickly on my own, but I have you, the Heavenly Emperor's special envoy, behind me!"

"As soon as I said that you sent me, they immediately fled and confessed their crimes and accepted punishment."

Next, Li Wei briefly explained how the Chen family cooperated in uncovering the traitor within their ranks.
Huang Xiang frowned and said, "The wife of the Chen family head? That's enough status, and she has the motive of bribery and silencing witnesses, but she's just a Golden Core cultivator. How could she possibly pass through the Thunder Department's protective array and curse Qi Nuannuan to death?"

"Of course, it's with money!"

Li Wei took out a large box, and when he opened it, it immediately revealed neatly stacked mid-grade spirit stones: "The Chen family patriarch hired someone to commit murder, and these are the evidence!"

Huang Xiang looked on, her breath almost stopping.

Sorry, this is the first time I've been a special envoy of the Heavenly Emperor; I'm not used to such things!

"So you people in the lower realm are this rich?!" "Brother Li, what are these spirit stones?"

"This was all embezzled by the Chen family's matriarch from various businesses! So even though her cultivation level isn't high enough, if she's willing to spend money to curse Qi Nuannuan, she can naturally break through the Thunder Department's defensive formation!"

Huang Xiang was a little thirsty, and Li Wei, noticing his expression, quickly brought him a glass of water.

Huang Xiang took a sip before finally saying in a slightly hoarse voice, "You mean..."

"The Chen family has found evidence that the patriarch's wife embezzled 3 billion. Furthermore, Madam Chen has admitted that this money was used to curse and kill Qi Nuannuan... Therefore, the spirit stones in front of us don't actually exist!"

"There's nothing here but credit!"

"It's all thanks to us!"

"If it weren't for Brother Huang's leadership and skillful command, how could we have solved the case so quickly? That's why everyone was waiting for you to close the case!"

After thinking for a moment with his eyes closed, Huang Xiang suddenly opened them: "Let's close the case! I think Qi Nuannuan's curse was done by the wife of the Chen family head!"

It's understandable that a mother might make a mistake because she loves her child so much!
As he spoke, Huang Xiang waved his hand over the box and took half of it!
"The credit for this achievement must be distributed equally. We must not let those who are handling the work below feel disheartened."

"Of course, you can rest assured!"

After Li Wei put the box away, he immediately said:

"Brother Huang! The major case of Qi Nuannuan's cursed murder originated from the case of the dark web transfer payment system. So why don't we take this opportunity to hold a press conference, which will also show our determination to crack down on the black cultivation transaction in Xinhai."

"You can handle this small matter."

This was the first time in Huang Xiang's life that he had received such a large reward, and he couldn't wait to count the spirit stones.

"Brother Huang, are you out of your mind! The whole world is focused on dark web payment transfers right now. If we hold a press conference now, we can get exposure across the entire Three Realms!"

"Moreover, this matter is related to the Divine Blood Clan!"

"The people of the world have suffered under the divine bloodline families for too long! If they saw that there is still a shining existence like you in this world who is not afraid of powerful forces, they would have more confidence in our Heavenly Court and Immortal Palace! So even for the sake of the Immortal Palace, I implore you to hold this press conference!"

Huang Xiang was overjoyed by Li Wei's words.

"I'm just a lowly special envoy, how can I represent Shinkai? Isn't that inappropriate?"

"Perfect! No one is more suitable than you! Moreover, this can also demonstrate to His Majesty the Heavenly Emperor your determination to investigate this case! Tell His Majesty that you are the sword in His hand to sweep away the wicked and maintain the bright and clear world of the Celestial Planet!"

"Hey……"

Huang Xiang sighed and said:
"Brother Li is truly a man of exceptional talent!"

"It's my good fortune to have received your help in Xinhai!"

"Just do as you say!"

Li Wei laughed upon seeing this.

Very good, now the blame is being placed on Huang Xiang.

Even if I, Li Wei, solicited bribes in public, it was all because I was forced by the Special Envoy!
So,
Chen Liangcai underestimated Li Wei.

When investigating cases, magistrates usually demand either money or credit.

Li Wei declared that he wanted them all!
Click, click, click!
In front of the Xianfu Building in Xinhai City, Huang Xiang, along with the mayors, solemnly walked toward the reporters.

"Ladies and gentlemen! We are holding this press conference today to announce a shocking case!"

"Yesterday, Li Wei, the newly appointed inspector of the Thunder Department, discovered the case of Chen Haicheng of the Chen family illegally trading in black cultivation techniques based on a large bank transfer. As a result, after Chen's mother learned of this, she actually sent a female cultivator named Qi Nuannuan to try to bribe Inspector Li and drop the charges against Chen Haicheng!"

"Inspector Li resisted the temptation with great willpower and brought Qi Nuannuan back to the Thunder Department for investigation."

"As a result, Chen's mother went so far as to use the 3 billion yuan she embezzled from the Chen family to hire someone to kill Qi Nuannuan, the suspect, through a curse from afar!"

Of course!

An uproar!
All the reporters were completely stunned by this bombshell.

Dark web payment transfer systems, black market cultivation, a family with divine bloodlines, a mother hiring someone to kill to save her son, and the Chen family patriarch's wife embezzling 3 billion yuan within the family—each of these is a bombshell!
