Chapter 408: Chapter 408: The Suspicious Person

After hearing Chen Feng’s words, Mu Dongcheng and Wei Hai swallowed hard and then exchanged glances.

"Brother Mu, Xiaofeng is a very reliable person; he never speaks rashly. I believe him, and I think you should trust him too. I can guarantee that what Xiaofeng says is accurate!"

Wei Hai looked at Mu Dongcheng and vouched for Chen Feng.

"Since Wei has said so, I naturally have no doubts!"

Mu Dongcheng nodded and then turned to look at Chen Feng, smiling as he spoke, "Divine Doctor Chen, although I don’t quite understand this ’Evil Magic’ and other such things you mentioned, are you really sure that your so-called treatment method works?"

"Mr. Mu, rest assured, as long as we identify who is casting the spell and break it, your wife’s illness will definitely be cured!"

Chen Feng nodded affirmatively.

He was still quite confident in the Divine Doctor’s words.

"In that case, please give me some time to think it through!"

Mu Dongcheng said and frowned as he walked to the side, recalling in his mind.

He needed to carefully think about who he had recently conflicted with as these people could be the suspects!

Seeing this, Chen Feng and Wei Hai did not speak and did not disturb Mu Dongcheng.

After about two minutes, Mu Dongcheng returned and said to Chen Feng, "Divine Doctor Chen, not to conceal from you, after leaving the Mu Family and starting my own business relying on the Mu Family’s background, although it seems smooth on the surface, I know I must have offended many people behind the scenes. These people, fearful of the Mu Family’s influence, wouldn’t dare to confront me directly, so I don’t know exactly who might harm my wife!"

"Think harder!"

Wei Hai urged.

"I’ve thought about it, just now I went through all the people I’ve had conflicts with over the years in my mind, but there are dozens of them—it’s impossible to determine who it might be. We can’t just call each of them—you know they would never admit to it even if they were involved!"

Mu Dongcheng said with a distressed face.

"Brother Mu, how did you manage to offend so many people?"

Hearing this, Wei Hai also smiled and joked.

"Sigh, I can’t help it; the business I’m in is bound to offend people. It’s quite normal!"

Mu Dongcheng sighed deeply and shook his head, "Enough about that, it’s a bit off-topic!"

With that, he turned his head back towards Chen Feng, his face bitter as he spoke, "Divine Doctor Chen, what should we do now?"

"Don’t worry, let’s use the process of elimination and slowly filter them out!"

After Chen Feng spoke, he pondered for a while with his chin in his hand, then looked at Mu Dongcheng and asked, "Among these people you have conflicts with, is there anyone who has also had issues with your wife? Or say, are their conflicts with you somehow related to your wife?"

"Let me think!"

Mu Dongcheng squinted his eyes and pondered for a moment, then suddenly widened his eyes and hurriedly said, "I remember now, yes, there are actually a couple of people related to my wife!"

"Oh, let’s hear it!"

Chen Feng spoke calmly.

"One of them, named Fan Dahao, is the CEO of a food company. Once, my wife went to a charity dinner on her own, and this guy also went there. He took one look at my wife and was immediately smitten, constantly pestering her."

"My wife had no choice but to call me, and I was furious at the time. I went there with some people and beat him up brutally. He was defiant and told me to watch out."

"After he found out I was a descendant of the Mu Family, he instantly cowered, apologizing and making amends; thus, the matter ended there, but I know, this guy is not a pushover—he probably has always held a grudge against me!"

Mu Dongcheng explained.

"Ha ha, Mu, you’re just being gallant for your lady!"

Wei Hai laughed and gave a thumbs up.

"Hehe!"

Mu Dongcheng chuckled somewhat sheepishly.

"And the other one?"

Chen Feng frowned and asked.

"The other one, I find a bit hard to mention!"

Mu Dongcheng gave an awkward smile and spoke hesitantly.

"Oh? What’s going on?"

Chen Feng asked, puzzled.

"Ah!"

Mu Dongcheng sighed deeply and continued,

"It’s like this, the other person, Ma Qi, is actually not an outsider. She was a university classmate of my wife and me. To say more, she and my wife were very close, they shared a dorm room and were best friends."

"Everything was fine at first. Our classmates were on good terms, and after graduation, we would occasionally meet and hang out together, and we were pretty happy."

"But then, one day, my wife’s best friend, Ma Qi, suddenly told me that from our school days until now, over all these years, she’s always liked me and stayed single for so long just to be with me."

"I was stunned at that moment and quickly rejected her. After all, my wife and I have been married for so many years and our relationship has always been good. How could I possibly accept another woman?"

"Since then, we’ve lost contact; she no longer speaks to me or my wife. I guess it’s because of this matter that she’s held a grudge against us, and it has always weighed on my mind!"

Hearing Mu Dongcheng’s story, Wei Hai burst out laughing, clapped Mu Dongcheng on the shoulder, and jokingly said, "Brother Mu, I didn’t expect you to have such a romantic debt!"

"Come on, little brother Wei, stop teasing me!"

Mu Dongcheng forced a bitter smile and then turned to look at Chen Feng, asking, "Divine Doctor Chen, do you think these two people are likely to harm my wife?"

Upon hearing this, Chen Feng also frowned.

The two people Mu Dongcheng mentioned, Fan Dahao and Ma Qi, both had conflicts with Mu Dongcheng, and these conflicts involved Mu Dongcheng’s wife, Zhou Yuying.

But these conflicts weren’t deep-seated hatreds that would justify the use of Evil Magic to kill Zhou Yuying, right?

Considering this, Chen Feng looked at Mu Dongcheng and asked, "Besides these two, are there any others?"

"There’s no one else, just these two. The others are business enemies and have no connection to my wife. If they were to harm anyone, it would be me."

Mu Dongcheng shook his head.

"Then we need to start investigating these two first. If that doesn’t work, we’ll have to reconsider!"

Chen Feng pondered and said.

"Yes, that’s what I thought too. Let’s start with Fan Dahao. I find him the most suspicious since, after so many years, Ma Qi and my wife were classmates and close friends. Even if there are disputes and anger, they wouldn’t do such a malicious thing!"

Mu Dongcheng nodded.

"In that case, let’s start the investigation with Fan Dahao!"

Chen Feng nodded and agreed.
