Chapter 327 -137 The Death of Peng Shizhong!_6

Hearing the word “search,” Huadie exclaimed in alarm, “Unthinkable!”

“What’s unthinkable?”

“A lady’s boudoir cannot be searched.”

Nan Batian said, “Human life is of the utmost importance, no time for such considerations. Search!”

“Yes!”

Upon hearing this, his underlings immediately began the search, tossing the room into a mess, with undergarments flying everywhere.

“Gang Leader!”

They quickly found two pairs of wine cups wrapped in a cloth.

Nan Batian took them and handed them to Zhang Liye.

Zhang Liye sniffed them and said, “That’s right, Ten Fragrance Soft Tendon Powder, and the cup still feels wet, it must have been used just now!”

At this moment, Nan Batian looked at Huadie and said, “Do you have anything else to say?”

“Ah, Guild Leader Nan, spare my life, I…I was forced too!”

Upon hearing this, everyone frowned and asked, “Forced by whom?”

Huadie suddenly began sobbing and said, “Woo woo woo…I was really forced, I…woo woo woo…”

While watching Huadie sobbing, Nan Batian demanded, “Speak!”

Huadie then turned her head to Chen Jie and said, “Fifth Master, I’m sorry.”

At this moment, everyone’s eyes turned to Chen Jie, who chuckled softly and said, “Hahaha…I knew it, I knew it, it always comes back to me in the end.”

“Chen Jiusi, stop interrupting, let her finish,” Qin Ying shouted.

By now, Chen Jie had already lost interest in listening. He glanced around and realized it was pointless to argue here; the opponent was determined to frame him. He needed to escape—better to save one’s self for future opportunities.

Meanwhile, Huadie began her sobbing confession. She had been threatened by Chen Jie.

She said that backstage, Chen Jie had entered, placed a knife at her throat, and forcibly fed her poison…

She felt she had no choice but to agree, then she called for Chen Jie.

Chen Jie entered the room, and shortly after, he started arguing with Peng Shizhong, then there was a cry of “traitor,” and that’s when Peng Shizhong ended up dead, and she screamed…

The entire sequence was seamless, evidently rehearsed multiple times.

Hearing this, the brainless Lu Rong erupted in anger, “Chen Jiusi, you bastard, you really killed your foster father, I’ll kill you!”

Suddenly, like a tiger pouncing on its prey, he lunged forward.

Zhou Chu restrained him, saying, “Third Brother, don’t be impulsive, don’t be rash, this is just her side of the story—Jiusi isn’t like that.”

“Jiusi, is this true?”

Feng Xuan put on an Oscar-worthy performance, wearing an expression of disbelief, but quickly added, “Jiusi, Foster Father even entrusted White Tiger Hall to you, why would you kill him? If you really wanted power, could you not have waited a few more years?”

“Big Brother, don’t waste words with this wolf. I’m going to kill him!”

Peng Fu also looked up at Chen Jie and said, “Jiusi, it can’t really be you, right?”

The others around also stared at Chen Jie.

Chen Jie, meeting their gazes and knowing he was beyond defense, smiled and said, “My friends, I just want to say a few words. First, I definitely did not kill my foster father. Second, I will avenge his death, and the wrong done to me today, I will avenge as well.”

“Finally, this framing is indeed clever, but I must say, I’m not only skilled in the Stone Breaking Hand, I know other martial arts too. If I had really killed my foster father, why would I have to use the Stone Breaking Hand? Wouldn’t other martial arts have worked just as well?”

“Are you saying other martial arts can’t kill a person? Or are you suggesting I’d be foolish enough to use the only martial arts skill that could implicate me!”

At these words, the crowd fell silent, while Qin Ying smirked, “Haha, you sly dog. You must have planned your move already, thinking ahead that you’d be exposed. Thus, you purposely used Stone Breaking Hand to kill Peng Shizhong because you thought we’d believe that no one would use their signature move to kill someone—it’s too foolish!”

The crowd murmured, “That’s possible, indeed, a reverse strategy might clear suspicion.”

Chen Jie concluded, “I’ve said all I wanted.”

Not further defending himself after speaking, everyone frowned. Feng Xuan said, “Jiusi, you’ve made a good point. So, come back with us first, and we’ll investigate slowly. We won’t wrongly accuse you.”

“Uncle Fu, what do you think?”

Peng Fu responded, “Hmm, let’s go back first! Jiusi, come with us.”

Hearing this, Qin Ying said, “Alright then, tie up the kid first, and we’ll investigate thoroughly!”

Nan Batian agreed, “Yes, Jiusi, let’s inconvenience you a bit, come, tie him up.”

Chen Jie, hearing this, bowed his head and said, “Alas, it has to be this way. You must clear my name.”

As Chen Jie offered his hands to be tied, Feng Xuan’s lips curled up slightly, his sneer barely concealed. “What a fool. Once you’re bound and brought back, ‘justice’… will be whatever I say!”

Idiot!

Feng Xuan thought, his victorious smile struggling to stay hidden.

But just then, as everyone relaxed their guard, Chen Jie suddenly accelerated and, with a loud crash, burst through a window.

“Catch him!” Nan Batian yelled upon seeing this.

With a cold laugh, Qin Ying declared, “Think you can escape from me?”

He leapt into the air in pursuit, followed by the underlings who rushed down the stairs. Feng Xuan’s expression changed, hesitating before eventually stopping.

Meanwhile, Lu Rong had already chased after them, shouting, “Fifth Brother, dare to kill our foster father, I won’t let you go!”

With that, the group smashed another window in pursuit.

At this moment, Chen Jie was running frantically forward, while someone soared across rooftops like an eagle, their Qinggong seemingly superior to Chen Jie’s.

“Haha, Chen Jiusi, where do you think you’re running to!” Qin Ying taunted from the rooftops.

Seeing this, Chen Jie darted into a nearby alley.

Qin Ying frowned, turned back, and continued the chase. As Chen Jie twisted and turned, the chase went on relentlessly.

Chen Jie, lost and disoriented in the alleyways, was about to be caught by Qin Ying, when suddenly, the sound of water echoed nearby.

For some reason, he remembered today’s fortune from the Old blind man: In the year of Yi Chou, on Kui Water Day, avoid alleys but find life in water!

With darkness on one side and the sound of water on the other, perhaps this was the sign.

Thinking quickly, Chen Jie dashed towards the sound of the water. The next moment, his vision suddenly filled with light: Yihong House!
