Chen Feng immediately called Qin Zhen, but it took a while before the other party picked up.

"You're calling me so early in the morning. If you don't have a valid reason, I'll make you regret it."

Qin Zhen was clearly grumpy from just waking up, which was understandable. It was only six in the morning, and most people wouldn't be up at this time.

Moreover, Qin Zhen was now engaged to Pei Lei, and they had even obtained their marriage certificate, which was considered as newlyweds enjoying marital bliss. Being woken up by Chen Feng while cuddling with his wife, it was no wonder he was upset.

"Didn't you call me three times in a row last night? So, when I woke up in the morning and saw it, I immediately called you."

Upon hearing this, Qin Zhen finally became clear-headed and was momentarily speechless.

"Was there something urgent you needed when you called me last night repeatedly?"

As soon as Chen Feng asked this, Qin Zhen became serious and said, "Here's the thing, Ma Laoliu, Ma Guowang was shot dead in the downtown area yesterday afternoon. This matter is causing a big stir now, and the police have identified the suspect. They're conducting a nationwide manhunt. You can see it on the news on your phone now.

The suspect is named Gao Xinfu, and he's from Bay Town in Lin Nan, not far from your home in Qingpu. The police have information that after killing Ma Guowang, he switched cars twice and disguised himself meticulously for anti-surveillance, concealing his whereabouts. The police can only monitor a few places where he might hide or appear.

His hometown in Bay Town is mountainous and coastal, which is most likely where he's hiding and planning to escape. You'd better not go there for the time being."

Chen Feng was obviously shocked by this news. Yesterday afternoon, when Cheng Yuhuan called Ma Laoliu, he was beside her and heard him speak. Unexpectedly, after that call, Ma Laoliu was dead.

Chen Feng also clearly remembered saying to Cheng Yuhuan at the time that Ma Laoliu wouldn't end well.

This truly seemed miraculous!

"You called me last night just to tell me about this?" Chen Feng asked somewhat doubtfully. If it was only about this, Qin Zhen shouldn't have called him three times in a row.

Qin Zhen said, "Besides telling you about this, I also wanted to ask you about your primary school classmate. According to the information I gathered, this shooter Gao Xinfu knows him, and they're even somewhat related."

Chen Feng was startled, and said with surprise, "You're not suspecting that my primary school classmate ordered Gao Xinfu to kill, are you?"

"Of course not." Qin Zhen first denied it, then added, "He does have the motive to order Gao Xinfu to kill, but he doesn't have money, so it's unlikely he could have commanded him. However, he knew Gao Xinfu since childhood and later they went to do business in other places together, so their relationship is not ordinary. He might know where Gao Xinfu could be hiding."

Upon hearing this, Chen Feng immediately understood, and couldn't help but quip, "Are you thinking of going alone to capture Gao Xinfu to earn credit, right? I say your courage is quite big. That guy has a gun, and you're not a law enforcement officer here. Did you bring a gun with you when you returned here to get engaged? Do you not care about your life anymore?"

"Of course, I didn't bring a gun. I never said I would definitely go alone and risk everything to capture him; I just want to help my colleagues here find this dangerous person as soon as possible. With a gun in hand, he remains a threat and might kill again. We must apprehend him swiftly."

"Alright, you're right. But I don't know much about Chen Guoxiang. He's just my primary school classmate, and after we graduated to junior high school until now, I haven't really been in touch with him. We're not really familiar."

"Then give me his phone number, and I'll ask him directly."

Chen Feng readily gave him Chen Guoxiang's phone number but lastly reminded him not to act alone, to avoid getting shot.

After concluding the call with Qin Zhen, considering the current early hour, Chen Feng did not return calls to Ni Yuhua and Cheng Yuhuan.

After getting up, washing up, going for a run, and taking a shower, and eating breakfast, Chen Feng then returned to his bedroom and called Ni Yuhua.

It was almost half-past eight in the morning by that time; Ni Yuhua should be up.

Sure enough, the call went through, and it was answered promptly within a couple of rings.

"Why did you call me last night? Was there something you needed?" Chen Feng asked casually.

"It's... about Ma Laoliu, he was killed." Ni Yuhua lowered her voice deliberately.

"Uh-huh, I know." Chen Feng remained calm.

"Does that mean my ex-husband's remaining debt of 700,000 doesn't need to be repaid anymore?"

"How would I know? But I feel there's still a high chance it needs to be repaid. After all, only Ma Laoliu is dead; he still had many people under him."

Ni Yuhua was instantly disheartened. She was a woman of her word, and since she had promised to help Chen Guoxiang repay his gambling debt, she was determined to keep her word.

Chen Feng didn't chat much with Ni Yuhua, ending the call in less than five minutes.

Finally, Chen Feng called back Cheng Yuhuan, unsurprised to find she was also calling about Mao Liu's death last night.

Listening to her lament on the whims of fate, Chen Feng grew weary, and using the excuse of having work to do, ended the call.

It wasn't a lie; shortly after hanging up, Zhao Zixuan called, asking him to pick her up from Yu Hongfen's and take her out for a wander and fun.

Having agreed with her the night before, Chen Feng wouldn't go back on his word, so he packed lightly and drove to Yu Hongfen's to pick up Zhao Zixuan.

Yu Hongfen's old house was a large villa with a courtyard and fence. Originally a three-room, two-story house, it was completely torn down a few years ago and rebuilt into a new double-story, modern Chinese-style villa, which was quite pleasing to the eye.

There were surveillance cameras surrounding her house, and one small iron gate in the large iron gate was often left open.

When Chen Feng drove over, Zhao Zixuan was already waiting at the door, with Yu Hongfen beside her holding a child.

After exchanging greetings with Yu Hongfen and taking Zhao Zixuan along, Chen Feng headed towards Yuelou Town.

He planned to mix business with pleasure, bringing Zhao Zixuan out while also scouting for suitable jewelry shop locations in Yuelou Town.

Chen Feng honestly informed Zhao Zixuan in advance about the plan, and she expressed that she was easy-going and had no objections.

Having the rare opportunity for alone time with Chen Feng today, she aimed to relish it; the choice of place to explore was secondary, the primary goal was being with Chen Feng.

Her proactive approach towards Chen Feng, even showing signs of pursuing him, had a straightforward reason. She was well aware of Chen Feng's financial status and some matters related to him in Xiu Zhou.

Most importantly, she knew Huo Jindong, from whom she learned about Chen Feng's promising young age and solid background.
