The Beautiful CEO’s Dragon Blood Bodyguard
Chapter 235 - 0235: Hell Sect

Chapter 235: Chapter 0235: Hell Sect

After Ding Xue finished reporting, several officers continued with their reports.

Wei Dongming listened intently, his brows knitted tightly. He instructed everyone, "Now, we need to start from the following aspects. First, we must quickly ascertain the identity of the deceased. Second, we need to determine the origin of the handgun. Third, we must find the whereabouts of that delivery person..."

He was about to adjourn the meeting when Ding Xue quickly interjected, "Chief, I have some leads to report to you!"

"What leads?"

Wei Dongming frowned slightly and sat down again with a row of officers.

Ding Xue presented a slide, which showed a photo of the back of the victim’s neck.

There was a clear tattoo of a skull.

This lead had been provided by Long Fei, who suggested that Ding Xue try to investigate it.

Once Ding Xue began her investigation, she indeed discovered something amiss.

She explained, "Chief, this skull tattoo has appeared in several famous international cases in the past two years."

She enlarged the image, and the skull tattoo enlarged with it.

It wasn’t as simple as it appeared from the outside; the lines of the small skull were dense, seemingly composed like a string of code.

She then showed another image, a photo of a deceased foreign woman.

"This victim’s name is Susan, a minor celebrity in America with a previous involvement with a wealthy man. After extensive investigations by the American police, a suspect was identified. During the arrest, a violent shootout occurred. The suspect, who was of Chinese descent, was killed. On the back of his neck, he also had a similar tattoo."

The slideshow moved to another victim’s photo, this time of a corpulent man.

Ding Xue continued, "This man was a big shot in the American Black Hand Sect, murdered last year. His bodyguards engaged in a fierce firefight with the assassin, one of whom was killed. The assassin’s neck also bore a similar tattooed mark."

"And this one!"

She introduced five or six cases in succession and concluded, "What I have mentioned so far cannot yet confirm the identity of the deceased. However, America has classified this group of assassins as a dangerous organization. There’s no official information, but people call them ’Hell Sect’, a tightly organized group of killers."

Wei Dongming rubbed his temples, not expecting the case to be so deeply involved.

He told Ding Xue to continue investigating the organization, and if necessary, to apply for information from the American police.

After the meeting, someone approached Wei Dongming, informing him that Lin Yingying’s lawyer had arrived and requested to see him.

Wei Dongming, already overwhelmed, had little desire to meet with a lawyer.

The person reminded him, "Chief, the lawyer is Ouyang Ming."

"Ouyang Ming?"

Wei Dongming hesitated for a moment, then asked for Ouyang Ming to be brought to his office.

Ouyang Ming was a well-known attorney in Binhai City who had defended many significant figures.

Moreover, he had worked in the legal system.

Wei Dongming and Ouyang Ming were alumni, with Ouyang Ming being a senior by one term, and both were known as the "Two Mings of Political and Legal Affairs."

Wei Dongming might deny others face, but he could not afford to slight Ouyang Ming.

Upon returning to his office, a middle-aged man with gold-rimmed glasses, carrying a briefcase and dressed in a sharp suit, entered.

The two shook hands, Wei Dongming forced a wry smile, "Senior, you really know how to put someone in a tight spot."

Ouyang Ming chuckled in response, "Can’t help it, money talks, and I’m here to bail out my client. What have you found in your investigation?"

Wei Dongming asked, "Which client are you referring to, Lin Yingying, or Long Fei?"

"Both," Ouyang Ming said.

He had been notified by Lin Yingying earlier, who insisted that he must also take Long Fei with him.

Ouyang Ming had merely said he would do his best since a life had been lost after all.

Wei Dongming lit a cigarette and took a puff, saying candidly, "Here’s the deal, you can take Lin Yingying now, but Long Fei must stay. Until we clear up the case, he must remain here. You should know the law better than I do, right?"

Ouyang Ming replied calmly, "I naturally understand that, and I don’t wish to make things difficult for you. I just want to remind you that Long Fei has a good relationship with the Shen Family. You need to be cautious in your case handling."

"Thanks for the heads up. Anything else?"

"Gone!"

Ouyang Ming stood up, stretched out his hand, and said, "Won’t you offer me a cigarette?"

"Screw you, you’re a big lawyer, you wouldn’t even care for my cigarettes!"

Wei Dongming laughed and cursed as he saw him out.

He closed the door and sat down at his desk.

The Shen Family, his old leadership’s clan, he knew it all too well.

Shen Zhengrong’s eldest son, Shen Weiguo, had been the secretary of the Political and Legal Affairs Committee in Binhai City.

Wei Dongming had just graduated from school when he began working as his secretary.

He also knew about Long Fei treating Elder Shen the day before.

He wasn’t present at the scene, but he had heard about it from others.

But no matter whose relationship it was, Wei Dongming would always follow the procedures.

That was his principle in life, to be flexible but to adhere to the bottom line.

To avoid any unnecessary trouble, he had made a call to have Long Fei temporarily transferred to a detention center in the suburbs.

Without his orders, no one was allowed to visit.

As dawn was breaking, Lin Yingying returned home.

She had already called property management to clean up the bloodstains in the house.

But since someone had died there, she was afraid and simply went to her parents’ house.

Father Lin, Lin Guodong, and Mother Lin, Yu Hui, had just returned from a trip abroad. They had been enjoying themselves and had left the company in their daughter’s hands, becoming hands-off executives.

Because they heard that their daughter’s childhood betrothal had been found, they had rushed back from abroad specially.

After all, their daughter was getting older, and if suitable, they were prepared to arrange her marriage so they could see grandchildren sooner.

Without children of their own, grandchildren were just as precious.

After Lin Yingying explained what had happened,

both parents were shocked; they hadn’t expected such an incident to occur.

They sought advice from Ouyang Ming.

Ouyang Ming suggested they wait a couple of days since the case had basically been cleared up, except the victim’s identity was still unconfirmed.

If the victim’s identity was confirmed, with a gun and a knife entering the home in the dead of night with an intent to kill,

even if they weren’t an assassin, Long Fei’s actions would still be self-defense, and he wouldn’t be responsible for any wrongdoing.

The two old folks nodded in agreement but were still concerned for Lin Yingying’s safety and promptly called Zhou Zhenglong over.

Lin Yingying wasn’t worried about herself; she was worried about Long Fei.

After all, he was in custody, and it was all because of her.

No matter how Lin Yingying thought about it, it felt awkward, especially since Long Fei had saved her three times already, including the past couple of occasions.

She secretly called Ding Xue, who shared the same sentiment as Ouyang Ming, assuring Lin Yingying to just wait patiently.

She told Lin Yingying that not only was Long Fei not in trouble, but he might even be recognized for meritorious service.

Lin Yingying had her doubts about her best friend’s words—if Long Fei wasn’t in trouble, why would they still be holding him without release?

With a ’might as well try’ mindset, she called Miss Shen of the Shen Family, Shen Yan’er.

Upon hearing her out, the other end didn’t even think before agreeing to help.

Only with Shen Yan’er’s word did Lin Yingying finally breathe a sigh of relief.

Even if it was confirmed that Long Fei was in no trouble, she didn’t want him to suffer inside.

He had such a big appetite, how could he possibly be satisfied?
