Chapter 438: Chapter 439: Loyalty and Betrayal

Hell God Chu Feng would not let them go, but they were too far away from him at the moment. However, Chu Feng would not let the person behind the scenes go either.

Huang Lan said, "I will help you investigate this matter, but before I figure it out clearly, you must not act impulsively. The higher-ups are also keeping a very close eye on the changes in East River this time. Acting rashly without evidence might trigger a series of chain reactions."

Chu Feng said, "I have a clear understanding and will not act recklessly."

Huang Lan said, "After the New Year, find some time to come to Yanjing."

"For what?" asked Chu Feng.

Huang Lan said, "The Tributors want to meet you."

Chu Feng said, "Okay!"

After hanging up the phone from Huang Lan, Zhuang Xinyan looked at Chu Feng and asked, "Do you know who did it?"

Chu Feng said, "I know who did it, but I’m not sure who is behind it."

Zhuang Xinyan nodded but didn’t say anything.

Under the guise of a Goddess like exterior, Zhuang Xinyan actually hid a fervent heart. She was kind to her subordinates, treating them like tools but with the care of a friend.

This made all the bodyguards of the Zhuang Family willingly die for Zhuang Xinyan.

The same was true for Zhuang Xinyan’s butler, as well as the bodyguards from the two Guard vehicles before.

"Miss has already thoroughly investigated, and all the security breaches at the villa have been sealed," reported the Bodyguard Captain.

Zhuang Xinyan said, "Do you know who did it?"

The Bodyguard Captain replied, "An old gardener from the villa was shot dead; those breaches were likely his doing intentionally. He was the least likely person to be noticed while doing these things."

Zhuang Xinyan nodded and said, "Continue the investigation and don’t overlook any details. Uncle Qiu’s blood shouldn’t flow in vain."

"Yes, Miss!"

After a pause, the Bodyguard Captain continued, "What about the old gardener’s family?"

Zhuang Xinyan coldly said, "There’s no need to look for them anymore, someone else will take care of that. If they let them go, don’t interfere anymore. Stop all welfare benefits from the group towards his family."

Zhuang Xinyan was benevolent, but she absolutely would not tolerate betrayal. By letting them fend for themselves, she had already shown the largest extent of her mercy.

Moreover, a true Superior needs both kindness and might. Mere benevolence was not enough to control an entire group.

"Yes, Miss, I understand," the bodyguard replied, then turned and left the room.

"Chu Feng, you take Rongrong and go ahead. I can handle it here alone. I’ve encountered more dangerous situations than this, and such incidents cannot scare me," said Zhuang Xinyan resolutely.

Zhuang Xinyan’s inner strength was absolutely strong enough, which Chu Feng never doubted.

An Rongrong stubbornly said, "No, I’m not leaving. In brother’s absence, this is a process I must go through."

An Rongrong had never experienced such an event before, and she was indeed terrified.

But now she could not leave, as she did not want to disappoint her brother.

After today’s ordeal, An Rongrong understood the pain and assassination attempts her brother went through to keep her safe. Now that she had to protect her brother, these were naturally the things she had to face and endure.

By this time, Bai Jiahang and Grandpa Ping had also completely escaped from the sea of fire.

Bai Jiahang looked at Grandpa Ping and asked, "Grandpa Ping, are your injuries alright?"

Grandpa Ping shook his head and said, "It’s fine, just a superficial wound."

Bai Jiahang said, "Grandpa Ping, I owe you my life this time."

Grandpa Ping waved his hand and replied, "I belong to the Bai Family, it’s my duty."

Bai Jiahang nodded and said, "Elder Ping, I thank you for saving me, but I cannot tolerate your betrayal. So please go back, and explain it to Grandpa yourself."

Upon hearing Bai Jiahang’s words, Grandpa Ping’s expression changed, showing an uncomfortable look, and said, "Young Master, what do you mean by that? I don’t quite understand."

Bai Jiahang stared at Grandpa Ping and said, "What benefit did my elder brother give you to make you work so hard to make enemies for me?"

Grandpa Ping’s expression turned even uglier, but he still said, "I..."

Bai Jiahang said, "Don’t be in a hurry to deny it. Since last night, you’ve been actively provoking Chu Feng, stirring up his anger. At lunchtime today, I gave you the chance to prove my suspicion wrong, but you disappointed me again, needlessly provoking Chu Feng. Except for my elder brother, who else could make you do this?"

Listening to Bai Jiahang’s words, Grandpa Ping quickly broke into a fine sweat.

He felt as though he was facing his own elder, yet the person in front of him was clearly just a twenty-year-old young man.

But how could his vision be so discerning, so wise?

It was true that Grandpa Ping was a Martial Artist, but martial artists also lived in this realistic society.

Moreover, what Martial Artists need most is the accumulation of money and resources; without the Bai Family, he wouldn’t have achieved so much.

He provided security for the Bai Family, and in return, the Bai Family provided him with Cultivation Resources and some special protections, such as legal protections.

After all, Grandpa Ping’s strength was not enough to disdain a nation.

So, it could be said that the Bai Family relied on Grandpa Ping, but Grandpa Ping relied more on the Bai Family.

"Second Young Master, about this matter..." Grandpa Ping tried to explain, as betrayal was something most unacceptable.

Even if he was manipulated by the Bai Family to betray them, it was absolutely unacceptable.

Bai Jiahang interrupted Grandpa Ping and said, "I’ve told you, I don’t want to hear it. You saved my life, and I thank you for that. Therefore, I’m giving you a chance to go and confess to Grandpa yourself. I won’t tell Grandpa, and I will pretend to be completely unaware of this issue. Let you confess it yourself."

After pausing, Bai Jiahang added, "However, Grandpa Ping, you also did me a favor. At least you made one thing clear to me. The assassination this time should have nothing to do with my elder brother. Since he arranged for you to be by my side, he wouldn’t have arranged for these assassins, as that would be superfluous."

After finishing his words, Bai Jiahang no longer looked at Grandpa Ping but turned his gaze toward the window and said, "East River is becoming more and more complex, but also more interesting. I wonder who made the move this time and who will be involved next. I look forward to the challenge and anticipate the Bai Family rising to the peak through successive battles. The throne of the foremost family in Huaxia, I must sit upon it."
