Chapter 1251: Chapter 1251: A Pair of Suspects

"Dad!" Jian Tao saw his father-in-law and called out with deep sorrow.

"Master!" Yu Weidong sincerely addressed him.

"You’re here, please sit." Zhao Feipeng said courteously.

"Dad, according to Uncle Yu’s investigation, one person is highly suspicious, but the other party is formidable, and the Zhao Family might not dare to offend him lightly." Jian Tao said, suppressing his anger.

"Tell me, what exactly is going on?" Zhao Feipeng exuded authority, "I refuse to believe there’s someone our Zhao Family can’t afford to provoke. Who exactly is this person? What’s their origin?"

Yu Weidong began explaining, recounting the cause and effect.

Zhao Feipeng’s expression grew increasingly grave. This suspicion was very grounded, but the more he listened, the more uncertain he felt.

"The Terminator, it’s actually him, no doubt about it, he’s a tough nut to crack. Even the Deceitful Fox and Sky Net have fallen to him. Going against someone like this requires utmost caution; one wrong move, and we might be trapped ourselves. Getting out wouldn’t be easy."

Zhao Feipeng gravely said, "The fact that the heart was transplanted into Ye Fan’s body, and there were clear messages from the underground black market, now it seems that Ye Fan is the most suspicious."

Anyone would see that Ye Fan is the most suspicious; this is an obvious fact on the surface.

Zhao Feipeng’s mood was heavy. Such great suspicion made it impossible for him to remain calm. If it was indeed due to Ye Fan’s connections that his son died, then this enemy would be significant. The Zhao Family truly lacked the strength to fight head-on, and even resorting to assassination wouldn’t give them confidence.

"Dad, we have to pursue the investigation of this chief suspect." Jian Tao stated his position firmly, "Zhao Hai cannot die in vain. We must seek justice, a blood debt must be repaid with blood."

"Master, the eldest young master died unjustly." Yu Weidong lamented.

"I know, and more than anyone, I want to avenge Zhao Hai. But this can’t be rushed; it must be done slowly." Zhao Feipeng calmly asserted, "Since the enemy is so powerful, we must act prudently. Otherwise, not only will we fail to exact revenge, but we might also end up getting ourselves involved."

"Dad, since you are determined, I feel somewhat reassured." Jian Tao was slightly comforted.

Zhao Feipeng looked at Yu Weidong, "Remember, only the three of us can know about this; a fourth person must never find out. No matter who asks you for information, maintain secrecy, and don’t say a word."

"I understand the stakes and will keep my lips sealed." Yu Weidong nodded solemnly.

"You go and rest first. You just returned to the country and haven’t rested, running back and forth. Thank you for your hard work." Zhao Feipeng said seriously.

"Not hard at all. As long as I can do something for the eldest young master, nothing is hard." Yu Weidong vowed earnestly.

After Yu Weidong left, only Zhao Feipeng and Jian Tao remained.

"Tell me, is Yu Weidong’s investigation result true? Is there a possibility it was intentionally guided by someone?" Zhao Feipeng looked at Jian Tao, asking with piercing eyes.

"Of course, it’s true, and there’s no possibility of being guided." Jian Tao confidently declared, "Uncle Yu is seasoned in his work and cannot make this kind of mistake. Besides, the power of the Zhao Family is not to be underestimated. How could anyone easily guide us? The results of Uncle Yu’s investigation are based on evidence, not unfounded claims."

Zhao Feipeng’s eyes were contemplative, "However, Yu Weidong’s investigation results only focus suspicion on Ye Fan and lack any concrete evidence. If we go against the Terminator based solely on suspicion, what if we’re wrong?"

"If it really were Ye Fan and his people, how could there be any solid evidence left behind?" Jian Tao replied matter-of-factly, "Dad, no matter what you say, Ye Fan is the prime suspect. This, you can’t deny, can you?"

"Indeed, he is the most suspicious." Zhao Feipeng pondered for a moment, "Have you ever thought that if it were Ye Fan and his people, they could perfectly execute a plan, not relying on a low-level car accident charade to deal with Zhao Hai? With the capability of Ye Fan and his people, they could make Zhao Hai disappear without a trace. Have you considered this problem?"

"That’s something to doubt." Jian Tao was stumped by the question, but she still stood by her opinion, resolutely saying, "From the current standpoint, Ye Fan is the prime suspect, and this cannot be changed. Regardless of whether it’s ultimately a mistake or not, we must investigate along the line of Ye Fan. This is the most feasible method, and I can’t think of any other possibilities."

"To say that it’s a business-related feud, it seems impossible to act so unscrupulously. It must be some ulterior despicable motive that led to Zhao Hai’s death — this, I am utterly convinced."

Jian Tao had her judgment and was determined to suspect Ye Fan.

This was expected, and even Zhao Feipeng also considered Ye Fan as the prime suspect.

However, Zhao Feipeng had other considerations, not limited to just suspecting Ye Fan.

"If we rule out the fact that Ye Fan killed Zhao Hai to obtain a heart, have you considered who else might be worth suspecting?" Zhao Feipeng spoke earnestly, "I know Zhao Hai’s death was a huge blow to you. But wasn’t it just as devastating for me?"

"Dad, what do you mean by saying this?" Jian Tao’s eyes dimmed, and she pursued, "Do you have other suspicions?"

"Mmm!" Zhao Feipeng nodded.

"Business partners couldn’t stoop so low to commit such heinous acts and incur the wrath of the Zhao Family, it would be unbearable. Besides, in business, such heinous acts are rare." Jian Tao expressed doubt, puzzled by Zhao Feipeng’s suspicions, "Dad, who do you suspect?"

"If Ye Fan hadn’t appeared in my line of sight, your second uncle would be the most suspect. But now, besides Ye Fan, your second uncle is still very suspicious." Zhao Feipeng’s suspicion of his brother left Jian Tao stunned.

"How is that possible? Second uncle is mild-mannered and kind, always accommodating, never conflicting with anyone, an honest and straightforward person. Although his reputation in the upper circles isn’t good, highly disparaged, how could he do such a thing? Dad, your suspicion isn’t realistic?" Jian Tao couldn’t believe it.

"How can someone addicted to gambling and stock trading be mild-mannered and kind?"

"Though he seems accommodating on the surface, in reality, he’s capricious and ruthless."

"Although his reputation in the upper echelons is not good, did he ever say anything in the face of disdain and ridicule from others? He simply ignored them, which begs the question, what kind of mindset allows one to do this?"

Zhao Feipeng’s understanding of Zhao Zhongtian was unique, with subtle insights beyond the comprehension of ordinary people.
