Interstellar Number One Farmer: I Only Want To Farm!-Chapter 316 - 101: Xiang Qian’s Investigation (Part 2)

Once, an object fell from high above. Because he suddenly remembered to buy a cake for his daughter, he turned around, and a large flowerpot, big enough to be lethal, fell right where he had been standing.

The shop owner saw it clearly, was deeply impressed, and even praised Xu Wu’s father’s luck.

The second time, he was walking on the road, when suddenly a group of people pushed forward, shoving him to the roadside, narrowly avoiding a fast-landing vehicle, saved by a kind passerby. Xu Wu’s father compensated the kind-hearted person with money for it.

The third time also seemed like an accident. He took his daughter to the park to play, and the park’s old and deteriorated facilities collapsed. A young mother was seriously injured at that time.

If it wasn’t for an old client suddenly calling him for an urgent car repair, he might have been in danger too.

These continuous accidents made this father sense something was wrong.

But life still had to continue, and eventually, the ’Death God’ came.

As for the sudden debt, Xiang Qian found out the creditor was a notorious local thug who specialized in extortion.

This thug wasn’t very capable, but he was extremely influential and could find anyone as long as they were on Capital Star.

The grandfather and two grandchildren didn’t intend to acknowledge this debt, but to survive on Capital Star, they couldn’t avoid it. If they didn’t pay, they would be harassed daily, and even risked having their young child taken to a den of vice.

It’s unclear if Xiang Qian intentionally included his private motivations. He investigated the thug’s series of crimes, seemingly wanting Su Xiaocai to expose them.

Xiang Qian could uncover the thug’s crimes and also found out why Luo Lianliang ended up in a dark alley, under a thug’s control, unable to turn the tide.

The reason was just as Su Xiaocai thought, he had offended Xue Huiyi.

Luo Lianliang formed an "Xue Huiyi" victims’ group online, quickly facing retaliation and revenge.

The thug currently worked as a rent collector for a real estate agency under Uncle Xue’s group. His reputation was terrible, yet the agency hadn’t fired him.

Su Xiaocai looked at the name Xue Feiqun. In so many events, he was always present. Did he truly love Xue Huiyi, or was he the mastermind behind everything?

Xiang Qian: "I have gotten this far in my investigation, but I can’t go further, or the Xue Family will notice. Next up is the social connections of the celebrity whose online information was mysteriously destroyed, her assets sold off quickly, and her communication device ended up on the black market. I used many connections to buy her old communicator, restored the formatted content, and managed to sort out her relationships."

The public narrative of the celebrity’s death was a crime of passion, her chaotic relationships leading to revenge. A person identified as her "lover" was imprisoned.

Whether he was her lover is debatable, as he was just a regular vendor, eighty years old, living with a son and an adoptee.

He was sentenced to fifty years in prison, confessing clearly how he killed the celebrity.

However, the matters between him and the celebrity were covered up, with him unwilling to divulge the details.

This was one suspicious point, yet the police still convicted him and did not follow up further. 𝕗𝐫𝚎𝗲𝘄𝐞𝕓𝐧𝕠𝘃𝕖𝐥.𝐜𝚘𝚖

The celebrity didn’t have close ties with Fei’er and Luo Min; it was evident her loose tongue caused the problem.

And the celebrity’s cousin’s aunt also died.

Whom that aunt was a lover to among Xue Feiqun’s subordinates is unclear, and it has become a mystery.

However, by understanding one part, the whole picture emerges, revealing how extensive the network is and how many have died.

Once the loose-lipped are discovered, they are likely the next to die.

"Boss, my investigation was strenuous, going deeper means I could die. The Xue Family is terrifying, especially Xue Feiqun, a Holy Father with a devil’s heart." Xiang Qian doesn’t advise Su Xiaocai to confront him now.

Su Xiaocai glanced through Luo Lianliang’s family photos, startled that they resembled the grandfather and grandson who were almost extorted by Yi Xiaosan at an exhibition.

At this stage, the thug can’t be caught. It’s difficult for him to cause a fundamental change, and without exposing the mastermind, there will just be another thug.

Besides, the thug kept pressuring the three of them, frequently intimidating and threatening, but never really inflicting actual harm.

If there had been any violence, the three would have moved away long ago.

It’s unclear whether his actions were out of good intentions or hidden agendas, but overall, they weren’t deadly.

Su Xiaocai assigned another task to the fat man: "Find someone to get close to that thug, see if they can find evidence of the Xue Family’s crimes. After that, I need you to investigate something. As you know, I am an orphan. I was too young at the time to remember my relatives. I want to know if Yu Haoming has any blood relation to me. Also, who was at that orphanage back then, and how it closed down?"
