Chen Xiao’s voice suddenly rose.

Making Deng Hu instantly widen his eyes.

But it only took a moment for Deng Hu to sneer and say:

"Too bad I’m now under your control here, otherwise I could hand you a knife so you can cut your throat and go see Mr. Lin."

As he spoke, Deng Hu’s eyes brightened, and he pointed at the wall, saying:

"Look, I actually forgot, you can also smash your head against the wall to commit suicide! There are so many ways to die, there’s always one that can take you to Mr. Lin!"

Chen Xiao understood exactly what Deng Hu meant.

The word "mocking" could almost be written directly on his face.

However, Chen Xiao never cared about the opponent’s mockery, and instead slowly stood up, saying:

"Do you know why I’m still here wasting time talking with you?"

Deng Hu frowned: "You have your plans, I have my fate, these were predetermined when Deng Xiang spoke them out, so I don’t know what you mean by asking."

"Let me put it this way, I’m not a policeman, just a criminal investigation consultant hired for the Marquis Jinguang’s Tomb case in Jiang Province’s Provincial City. In Jiang Province, especially in Dongzhou, the credit I’ve accumulated and the influence I’ve created is already more than sufficient for me personally."

"So, whether I have any credit in this case doesn’t matter at all, but..."

"But what?" Deng Hu’s eyes were very complicated, but he was trying very hard to hide his panic.

Chen Xiao patted his shoulder, smiling: "Both you and I know the truth, but if you want to pretend, I’ll let you pretend. I’m still here talking with you father and son, the reason is I want my wife to take all the credit for this time."

Deng Hu’s face suddenly changed dramatically.

This change confirmed some of Chen Xiao’s thoughts in his mind.

His hand fell on Deng Hu’s shoulder, smiling:

"Speak, what deal was there between Wu Yuanzhong and Lin Zumeng back then?"

As he said this, Chen Xiao thought for a moment and then added:

"It’s said that the Lin Family’s Old Master made his mark in Hai City with ironwork, and the old man’s father was obsessed with ironwork. I think one of the conditions might have been an iron piece."

"But, that iron piece could only be considered icing on the cake, the real lure was the clues to the ancient tomb that later led to his death, right?"

Deng Hu looked at Chen Xiao.

Wu Liuxian was also looking at Chen Xiao.

Deng Hu’s face was filled with shock.

Wu Liuxian, after some thought, silently closed his eyes.

As for what he was thinking, and why he was touched and pained, his twitching cheeks had long explained everything.

Chen Xiao then walked behind Wu Liuxian and spoke:

"Old brother, Deng Hu’s reaction actually already told you the answer, so..."

Chen Xiao didn’t finish what he was going to say, but Wu Liuxian opened his eyes, saying: "Thanks brother, I’ve got the answer I wanted."

After saying this, Wu Liuxian walked out of the interrogation room first.

Soon, only Chen Xiao and Deng Hu were left in the interrogation room.

Chen Xiao looked at the latter, saying:

"From what I know of your Deng Family, you are really loyal. But I’m curious, why were you so miserable when you went abroad? Logically speaking, businessmen like you, if you wanted to take root overseas, you should have been well-prepared beforehand."

"Money is endless..." Deng Hu responded instinctively, but then he bitterly said:

"Forget it, saying these words to you is meaningless, since you sat down to talk with me, I also know what it means, you probably already set up an inescapable net and grasped his weakness."

"To say ’grasped’ actually overestimates me, at the beginning I was convinced. Even though I’ve been through the same thing, I still believed resolutely. But when he appeared in my view, I was shocked."

"How ruthless does a person have to be to do such things to himself? Moreover, what puzzles me is, why come back now after not caring for over a decade?"

Deng Hu sighed deeply:

"Actually, not only you don’t understand, I don’t either. In my heart, he should also be extremely decisive and cold-blooded. But then something happened that made me realize that as long as they are human, there’s always a weakness."

"What thing?"

"Haven’t you thought about who took care of Gao Qinfang’s remains and buried her?" Deng Hu asked, Chen Xiao’s expression immediately changed:

"I see, it’s a shame I kept investigating Gao Qinfang but never went to her burial place to take a look. If I had gone, maybe I would’ve understood."

"Yes, only from that moment did I know why he didn’t fight after going abroad, just maintaining the present situation. I think, after experiencing those series of events, he gained some other insights."

As he spoke, Deng Hu was silent for a few seconds, then asked:

"What kind of inescapable net did you design for him?"

Chen Xiao shook his head: "Actually, I did nothing, because I think he will do it all. Of course, before you said that, I thought the success probability was 50%, but now I think it’s 99%."

Deng Hu sighed: "He has done me great favors, so how he hurt the Deng Family doesn’t matter to me. Without him, there is no Deng Family, but he has been decisive and ruthless all his life, why be confused this time!"

The sigh lingered in the interrogation room for a long time.

Chen Xiao said nothing more, his gaze was on the window as if he saw Lin Xi checking into the hotel with Ah Yu.

In the hotel lobby’s resting area.

A man wearing a baseball cap, with sunglasses perched on his nose.

His gaze often turned towards the elevator entrance, but the people coming and going didn’t change the eyes beneath his sunglasses.

At this time, the elevator showed someone coming down from the sixth floor again.

The man’s gaze turned again, this time, his eyes seemed to change.

Inside the elevator, Lin Xi was leading Ah Yu downstairs.

When the elevator stopped at the fourth floor, Ah Yu, held by Lin Xi, suddenly frowned:

"Sister, I suddenly don’t want to eat anymore."

Lin Xi asked: "Didn’t you say you were hungry just now? Your stomach was even growling."

"I’m still hungry, but somehow, I don’t want to go downstairs, sister... can we not go downstairs?"

When Ah Yu said this, her complexion wasn’t very good.

But her eyes were filled with doubt.

She didn’t like the feeling of hunger, every time she felt it, she couldn’t wait to fill her stomach completely.

But today, there seemed to be a voice inside her telling her, don’t go down!

Lin Xi also listened to Ah Yu’s wish at this time, pressing the button for the second floor while the elevator was moving.

The elevator stopped, Lin Xi led Ah Yu back to the sixth floor.

And after returning to the sixth floor, Ah Yu’s bad complexion returned to its usual sunshine.

She cheerfully held Lin Xi’s hand tightly, but Lin Xi also noticed the other elevator was coming up!
