"Did he deceive all of us?"

"Explain clearly, what’s going on here!"

Chen Xiao observed Deng Xiang.

He could tell that Deng Xiang was indeed very shocked at the moment.

"You treat him as your master, but in reality, he doesn’t value your lives very much, not even as much as his illegitimate daughter."

Even though Deng Xiang wasn’t the sharpest tool in the shed,

he still had thoughts and the ability to analyze.

When Chen Xiao reached this point, Deng Xiang seemed to understand:

"You’re saying that baby girl isn’t dead!"

Chen Xiao nodded: "Yes, he lied to you. He never sacrificed his own flesh and blood! He would rather risk everyone’s lives than let his child die."

Deng Xiang’s expression changed again and again.

From his expression, Chen Xiao could be sure.

This group must have encountered danger inside the tomb.

After all, those dangers must also be fresh in Deng Xiang’s memory.

Because he had just said, they arrived at the main burial chamber unharmed!

What do you mean by unharmed?

In reality, they encountered danger but didn’t lose their lives.

"I knew Zhang Du’s look at him was off at the time; I knew something was up inside!"

"Did Zhang Du notice something was wrong at the time? Then why didn’t he tell you guys? All those years abroad, wasn’t it your protection that gave Zhang Du and his father the good life they enjoy today?"

"Damn it, that bastard... My father almost died then, turns out it was Lin Zumeng who wasn’t cooperating! When it came to killing, I never hesitated back then!"

Deng Xiang’s emotions started to unravel.

Chen Xiao couldn’t let go of such a good opportunity, so he fanned the flames further:

"But without the Lin Family, where would your Deng Family be? It’s understandable that he would care about his daughter, isn’t it?"

"That’s bullshit! Yes, he did help our family a lot, but our family was loyal to him, weren’t we the ones doing all the dirty work?"

"We put everything we had on him, and in the end, we were always worried about that matter exploding, which is why we went abroad."

"If we hadn’t left, how would the Deng Family have declined? And after going abroad, if it weren’t for..."

Deng Xiang paused in his speech.

Chen Xiao pressed on, "If it weren’t for what?"

Deng Xiang’s face contorted with rage: "If he were still alive, I’d rip his head off and ask him why, under such circumstances, he still showed mercy!"

Chen Xiao got up, gazing directly at Deng Xiang, and said:

"It seems your alliance is just scattered sand, with everyone having their own calculations, but in the end, it’s the fool who suffers. Paying the price of the family, nearly losing your lives."

Deng Xiang turned red-faced from Chen Xiao’s words.

"What, do you think you’re not a fool? If you weren’t, why did you trust Lin Zumeng so much? If you had any sense, how would the Deng Family have fallen into its current state under your watch?"

"If it weren’t for your incompetence, would your father have to come out of retirement and worry even in old age...?"

"Enough, enough!" Before Chen Xiao finished, Deng Xiang shouted in anger.

Seeing it was enough, Chen Xiao turned and walked out.

Deng Xiang saw him leaving and instead called out:

"Where are you going, are you leaving just like this?"

Chen Xiao understood Deng Xiang’s feelings at this moment.

When someone encounters extreme danger and harbors endless suspicion,

silence becomes an excruciating torment for them.

Compared to that torment, Deng Xiang would rather have Chen Xiao in the interrogation room.

But Chen Xiao ignored him, walked out, and closed the door behind him.

Outside, Lin Xi’s face was filled with relief.

"Honey, the case is solved."

Chen Xiao grinned: "Yes, the case is solved."

"What to do next?" Chen Xiao asked again.

Lin Xi rolled her eyes at him, saying, "Got it, you lazybones, leave the rest to me, I’ll notify the Liao Group to come over."

Chen Xiao shook his head: "You haven’t slept all night, now go back and rest, I’ll call you when the Liao Group arrives."

Lin Xi was taken aback: "Go rest?"

"Yes, go take a break, handling the rest is up to me."

Lin Xi hesitated, but Chen Xiao’s hand landed on her shoulder, pushing her out:

"Go on, getting some rest is better than anything, besides, there’s nothing else with the case, right?"

Chen Xiao stared at Lin Xi’s tired eyes, and she understood his meaning:

"Alright, I’ll go take a nap now."

Chen Xiao nodded, and Lin Xi left.

After she left, Chen Xiao sought out Wu Liuxian.

The latter had been waiting in the precinct, and when he saw Chen Xiao, he sat down in silence and proactively asked with a smile:

"Is the truth out?"

Chen Xiao responded with a sound, and Wu Liuxian’s face changed slightly, then asked again:

"Was this all caused by my father?"

"Sort of, but I want to personally take you to meet someone, and then let him tell you what terms your father agreed to disclose the existence of Jingguang Tomb."

Wu Liuxian sighed deeply, having imagined this answer countless times in his mind.

But now, hearing it from Chen Xiao, he felt differently.

A hypothesis is often like ripples on a calm lake.

But knowing the truth is like stirring up a storm.

He tried hard to control his emotions, following Chen Xiao to the interrogation room where Deng Hu was.

At this moment, Deng Hu still didn’t know what was happening outside. Seeing Chen Xiao, he excitedly shouted:

"What exactly do you want?!"

"Deng Xiang has already told us everything about what happened on Jingguang Mountain in Jiang Province 11 years ago. Beside me is the descendant of Wu Yuanzhong, so President Deng, why don’t we have an open chat?"

Deng Hu raised his head, looking like he would never speak.

Chen Xiao smiled: "This isn’t wise, I don’t need to use reverse psychology to provoke you, if you need assurance, I can have the interrogation room recording brought in."

Deng Hu’s eyes finally showed doubt, and Chen Xiao directly had the recording played for Deng Hu to hear clearly, understanding it.

And Deng Hu’s reaction was all within Chen Xiao’s expectations.

So after Deng Hu finished listening, Chen Xiao said:

"Actually, I came to ask you one question—what terms did Wu Yuanzhong and Lin Zumeng have back then? To put it simply, what did Lin Zumeng offer Wu Yuanzhong in exchange for revealing the Marquis Jinguang’s Tomb on Jingguang Mountain?"

Deng Hu lowered his head, thought for a few seconds, then raised his head and laughed:

"Then ask Lin Zumeng, that was their deal, how would I know?"

"Oh really? Should I really go ask Lin Zumeng?!"

Chen Xiao’s tone suddenly intensified, startling Deng Hu into widening his eyes in an instant!
