Doomsday group favorite: I will win with my three brothers

Chapter 295 Who Else Betrayed Us?

Zhao Chuilin remained unmoved, even changing his address to Zhao Cang: "I have been investigating my brother's death for a long time. The people who framed my brother and sister-in-law need to know their departure time and route, and they also need to contact the driver who ambushes them along the way in advance to make this an accident. Because the driver was driving normally, they had to calculate every second to make everything a flawless plan."

“Everyone here was in the old house that day. Everyone knew when they left and what they were doing. At the time, Dad used his connections to check everyone's cell phone signals, but found nothing unusual. Later, I spent a long time studying the activity of all the apps on your phones that day, but found nothing unusual either. So how did the message get out?”

“Someone must have left the old house at that time, but everyone has a witness to prove that they did not leave the old house between the time my elder brother and sister-in-law left and the time of the incident. Who were Zhao Lanxin's witnesses at that time?”

Everyone looked at Zhao Cang.

Zhao Cang remained silent.

“I didn’t suspect you because your witness was my father, and you also testified for Zhao Lanxin, proving that she didn’t leave. That led me to a blind spot, assuming that Zhao Lanxin hadn’t left the old house either. Now the facts prove that she was the one who killed my elder brother and sister-in-law. So, Zhao Cang, you lied, or rather, you were the mastermind. You instructed Zhao Lanxin to leave to deliver the message and then give false testimony for her.”

Zhao Cang hurriedly explained, "That's not how it is. I didn't know what Lan Xin was doing at the time. By the time I found out, your older brother had already died. Even if Lan Xin paid with her life, they wouldn't come back to life. Does it matter whether it was an accident or intentional? We can't let another life be lost!"

Everyone was stunned. What kind of logic is this?!

"Besides, brother, you didn't want this matter to escalate back then, right?" Zhao Cang looked at Zhao Hao for help. "The murderer can't be a member of the Zhao family's direct line, otherwise the collateral branches will laugh at us! I kept it a secret for your sake, for the benefit of our branch! Brother!"

Zhao Hao laughed in anger: "Fine, fine, fine, fine, so you think I'm such a selfless person! You really overestimate me. I don't want the collateral branches to laugh at me, and I don't want them to take away the position of family head, but that doesn't mean I don't care about the truth or let the murderer who hurt my son go unpunished."

As he laughed, tears streamed down Zhao Hao's face: "My good brother, this is my good brother."

Zhao Cang was terrified. He let go of Zhao Lanxin, covered in blood, and crawled to Zhao Hao's side. He said in a tearful voice, just like when he was a child, "Big brother, I was wrong, I was wrong, okay? Please don't do this, please don't do this, I'm scared."

Zhao Hao took a deep breath: "Chui Lin, according to the clan rules, how should we deal with him?"

"According to clan rules, their family property should be confiscated and they should be expelled from the Zhao family."

"No, brother! Things are so chaotic outside. You're going to kill me! I'm already so old. I haven't even had a son because I've been trying to raise the girls in our clan. Brother, you can't do this to me!"

Zhao Hao gritted his teeth and said, "You raised the only girl of the Chui generation to be like this, and you still have the nerve to boast about it. You've ruined the girls of the Chui generation, and the most outstanding boys of the Chui generation!"

Zhao Chuifang and Zhao Chuihan walked over with cold faces, one on each side of him. Zhao Chuifang freed one hand to lift Zhao Lanxin's hand, while Zhao Chuihan pulled on Zhao Lanxin's hair, dragging the father and daughter out.

In their eyes, their eldest cousin was an unparalleled figure. Not only was he outstanding himself, but he also took great care of his younger brothers. No matter what it was, if they asked him for help, even if they got a single-digit score in math, he could get their parents to agree to it. However, there would be a price to pay later on. Their eldest cousin would hire a tutor to give them one-on-one lessons, and if they slacked off in their studies, they would have to accept their eldest cousin's "loving" education.

Therefore, the death of their eldest cousin never brought them the hope of ascending to the position of clan leader, but rather the pain of losing a loved one.

They couldn't be happier to be able to do something for their eldest cousin now.

Once everything had settled down, everyone returned to the living room.

Zhao Hao consciously left the main seat to the newly appointed clan leader, Zhao Chuilin, and remained silent.

His youngest son's growth far exceeded his expectations. He thought that his new chieftain needed his support, but he didn't expect that his son's wings had already grown strong, but he just didn't want him to see it.

He probably blames himself too.

He was left to be cared for by his eldest son, but after his eldest son got into trouble, he didn't do his best to get justice for him, resulting in the loss of both sons at the same time.

Looking back now, what he was worried about at the time seems a little ridiculous.

If he had disregarded everything and launched a full-scale investigation together with Chuilin and Shiyun, the truth might have come to light seven or eight years ago.

Zhao Lexi and Gao Jue didn't go inside. She asked softly, "Do you know who that person is?"

"Zhao Lanxin doesn't know that person's name, but based on her thoughts, I can roughly guess that he is the Antarctic Emperor of the Longevity Society, and also the person who introduced me to the society. Given your father's excellence and reputation, it is very likely that he killed him because he hated me for not being invited to join the society."

After thinking for a moment, Gao Jue shook his head: "Based on my understanding of the Antarctic Emperor, he wouldn't hurt someone just because he was rejected. Back then, it was a society governed by the rule of law, and killing someone was a very risky thing. Moreover, your father was not an ordinary person; he had a certain social status. His death would bring a series of troubles that would be difficult to resolve. I suspect that your father may have done something that threatened the Longevity Society."

“My father is an upright man,” Zhao Lexi nodded.

Clearly, Zhao Lexi had an extremely bad impression of the Longevity Society.

Gao Jue was glad that he had left the Longevity Society early on and that he had not hidden anything from her.

The matter is now clear: the Antarctic Emperor coveted Zhao Lexi's father's abilities and social status and wanted to recruit him into the Longevity Society, but was refused. It is normal for people with different paths to not work together, but the Antarctic Emperor discovered that after being rejected, the other party was still investigating the Longevity Society's background without leaving a trace. Therefore, he risked killing him to eliminate future troubles.

But the other party is no ordinary person, so we must make sure their death is flawless to avoid causing unnecessary trouble and implicating the Longevity Society.

He found Zhang Yu's son's mentor, Wu Xiangyang, the Black Emperor of the Longevity Society, and asked him to exchange a letter of recommendation for Zhang Yu's help in killing Zhao Lexi's parents. The time and place were provided by Zhao Lanxin; of course, this couldn't be a coincidence as she thought, but rather a scheme by the Antarctic Emperor.

The only point that hasn't been closed yet is where the Antarctic Emperor learned about Zhang Yu.

Zhang Yu's relationship with Zhao Liang could perfectly cover up the existence of the Longevity Society, making him the most suitable scapegoat. The question is, how did Antarctica know about this?

It couldn't have been Zhao Lanxin who told him; in Zhao Lanxin's memory, she had only met him once.

Who is that?

Zhao Lexi racked her brains but couldn't figure it out. Could there be someone from the Zhao family...?
