Chapter 148: Chapter 148 Du Pengfei (1)_1

"Interrogate me? No need, I already know everything about you." After using the drug on Du Pengfei yesterday, he had been completely unaware and ended up confessing everything.

"You know everything?" Du Pengfei furrowed his brows, looking at Situ Xin with disbelief. You see, all the information about him in circulation was fabricated, meticulously crafted by himself.

Situ Xin knew why he didn’t believe her. It was because yesterday, when she learned his secrets straight from Du Pengfei’s lips, she had compared them to the information Liu Yuxiang had provided. The details of Du Pengfei’s life before he established the Green Tiger Gang were all incorrect. "Hehe, don’t doubt me, I truly know it all."

Sitting atop Baibai, Situ Xin spoke with a chipper mood, "Shall I tell you about it?" She gleamed at Du Pengfei with a smile, "Du Pengfei, or rather Du Gaofeng, male, from Province Z. Your father was a renowned entrepreneur there. But a few years ago, he suddenly fell ill and passed away. And the Du Group, which he ran, was taken over by a close friend of his after his death."

Upon hearing his true name from Situ Xin, the look in Du Pengfei’s eyes changed. He could never have imagined that the information he had gone to great lengths to hide was known to Situ Xin.

This Du Pengfei, in fact, was Du Gaofeng. His father was a very successful businessman whose company was thriving, and his mother a homemaker. He had always lived in a happy and perfect home, until the day he, a college student at the time, received a call from his mother, informing him of his father’s death.

At that moment, the phone slipped from his grip and crashed to the floor. Even his mother’s frantic voice over the line couldn’t awaken him from his shock. He couldn’t believe that his father, who was always in good health, had died so suddenly.

Coming to his senses, he hurried back home. When he saw the altar set up for his father, his tears couldn’t be held back any longer. Yet, he didn’t lose his wits due to the death. Tears streaming down his face, he asked his mother how his father had died.

Between sobs, Du Pengfei’s mother told him that on that day his father had gone to the company early in the morning as usual. It wasn’t until noon that she abruptly received a call from one of his father’s friends, telling her there had been an accident, that his father had collapsed in the office and was being rushed to the hospital. But by the time she arrived, the hospital had already declared that his father was dead due to late rescue efforts.

After hearing his mother’s story, Du Pengfei felt there was something suspicious about his father’s sudden death. But when he reported it to the local police station and demanded a thorough investigation, they only took the case as a formality. They hardly looked into it before concluding that his father had died of a sudden illness.

With the police not finding anything amiss, he had no choice but to accept the harsh reality and attend to his father’s funeral arrangements. After handling his father’s affairs, he took a long leave of absence from school, planning to return and take over his father’s company.

However, when Du Pengfei arrived at his father’s company, ready to take charge, he was informed that it had already been transferred to his father’s good friend, his Uncle Yun.

He could not accept this news. He went to see Uncle Yun, and when he confronted him about the sudden transfer of his father’s company, Uncle Yun impatiently tossed a property transfer document at him.

Du Pengfei picked up the document and quickly flipped through it before reaching the last page with the signature. He recognized his father’s handwriting at a glance, yet this time, the script seemed unusually shaky, and his father was never known to sign in such a disordered way, even under pressure.

Doubts crept into Du Pengfei’s mind, and he asked his uncle why his father had transferred the company to him. Uncle Yun snapped, annoyed by his questions, and retorted that his father had transferred the company due to a debt owed to him.

He couldn’t believe what Uncle Yun said, so he processed his leave from school and returned home, determined to investigate the matter.

After six months of investigation, Du Pengfei finally uncovered that his father hadn’t died from illness but was murdered by Uncle Yun. The so-called transfer document had also been coerced from his father shortly before his death.

Despite wanting to report this to the police, Du Pengfei abandoned the idea upon learning more about Uncle Yun’s background. It turned out Uncle Yun was no ordinary man. He had gone from a thug to the leader of a gang, and not only that, but he developed it into the most powerful in Province Z.

On top of that, Uncle Yun had strong ties with the leaders of Province Z. The previous time Du Pengfei requested a police investigation into his father’s death, it was Uncle Yun who had intercepted it.

Realizing the extent of Uncle Yun’s influence, Du Pengfei knew seeking vengeance wouldn’t be easy, but he never gave up. Around that time, people from Country Y somehow learned about Du Pengfei’s situation and sought him out, proposing a partnership.

They offered to help him build up a force to counter Uncle Yun, and in exchange, Du Pengfei would work for them. Blinded by hatred, Du Pengfei agreed without hesitation.

That was the moment Du Gaofeng adopted the name Du Pengfei and established the Green Tiger Gang. With the support of Country Y, he quickly solidified his foothold in Province Y and within a short span, dismantled the influence of his so-called Uncle Yun, who became his prisoner.

Eventually, he avenged his father and reclaimed the Du family’s rightful property. However, it was only after his revenge that he cooled off and realized that his actions were tantamount to treason. By then, he had no way out.

Country Y, who had supplied him with weapons, also sent two people under the pretense of assisting him, but in truth, they were there to surveil him. His every move was under the control of Country Y. Therefore, he had no choice but to follow their directives.
