Chapter 428 Arrangement
Arrangement
Several days later, a putrid corpse was discovered in a landfill. After layers of reporting and investigation, Chi Song, who was still pursuing him, realized that Chu Lingfeng...
Seemed to be dead.
He made a phone call, and then hurriedly contacted Si Chen.
When the deep-eyed man arrived at the landfill, after comparison, it seemed that the corpse was indeed Chu Lingfeng.
Although his face was gnawed away and there were some patches of decay on his body, making it difficult to recognize, the distinctive head with two missing ears, and the gauze wrapped around it.
All preliminarily confirmed that this person was Chu Lingfeng.
Not only Chi Song, but even Si Chen was dumbfounded.
They had all agreed that their top priority was their formidable enemy, Chu Lingfeng. If he wasn't dead, neither Chi Xiaocheng, Su Tao, nor his own side would have any peace.
That guy was far more capable of causing trouble than Ye Liang.
But now, before they could even plan how to target Chu Lingfeng after finding him.
This guy had inexplicably died?
His corpse had been casually dumped in a landfill, ending in such a farcical way?
"Let the coroner examine him first."
Because of the corrosion from the landfill's foul water, coupled with the large number of rats, the corpse was already barely recognizable.
But the necessary procedures still had to be followed.
They should be happy that Chu Lingfeng had died like this, but for some reason, Si Chen didn't feel relieved.
This man wasn't some small-time figure. After constant effort, he had accumulated some wealth and power, and with his Thirteen Taiyi Needles, he had become quite famous.
But he had been killed inexplicably.
Was his death really an accident?
As the body was transported to the hospital, the report came out quickly.
Shot to death!
And it was a bullet fired directly into his face.
The reason wasn't clear, but... he was definitely dead.
The coroner stood next to Si Chen and asked, "Young Master, what should we do with the body?"
"Cremate him, bury his ashes next to Ye Liang. Now that they're both dead, they can keep each other company, and won't have to go out of their way to spit on each other's graves."
The coroner: "..."
You're the young master, whatever makes you happy.
However, this matter still had to be told to Chi Xiaocheng and Su Tao.
And when Si Chen arrived at the villa and told the two, the same stunned expressions appeared on their faces.
Chi Xiaocheng was more concerned about this matter than Su Tao, and she was the first to ask, "Did you verify his identity? Is he really dead beyond any doubt?"
"The autopsy report is out, the DNA matches. We just don't know who killed him."
"This..."
Logically speaking, even if his luck had plummeted after eating the poisoned apple, he shouldn't be someone that any random street thug could take down.
Even if the world's will didn't favor Chu Lingfeng anymore, his own abilities were still there.
Like Ye Liang, who had a martial arts expert protecting him.
Chu Lingfeng could not only fight, but he also had the Thirteen Taiyi Needles.
He shouldn't have died so easily.
Unless... there was someone with even greater luck than him who crushed him in an overwhelming attack.
If that was the case, it wasn't good news.
But Su Tao's focus was on something else, "If Chu Lingfeng is dead, doesn't that mean we're completely safe? We don't even have to live here anymore?"
"Uh..."
Si Chen scratched his head, not understanding why Su Tao was so hung up on this.
It seemed like she hadn't given him a good look whenever he came to see Chi Xiaocheng these days?
Had he really done something to offend her?
He naturally didn't know that in Su Tao's eyes, she and Chi Xiaocheng were already girlfriends, even though their daily life wasn't too different from usual.
But Si Chen came to play with Xiaocheng every day, ostensibly to discuss something, and then went into the same room as Xiaocheng when she wasn't around.
And said it was just a casual chat.
Yeah right!
It was just that Si Chen was busy, and Su Tao couldn't catch him to warn him and make things clear.
If Chu Lingfeng was dead, and they would be safe afterward.
She couldn't wait to move back and live in their own little world with Xiaocheng.
Moreover, she also had to go to school, and Su Tao didn't want to fail any more subjects this semester.
Si Chen couldn't understand the girl's train of thought, so he said directly, "Let's stay here for another half month and see how things go. We need to confirm whether it's really safe. We also need to conduct a thorough investigation of your neighborhood. And even though Chu Lingfeng is dead, but..."
"Do you still remember what that plainclothes man said a week ago? He said he wasn't with Chu Lingfeng, but was taking orders from the head maid, and his target was Chi Xiaocheng."
"I really don't know who this head maid is. We haven't found any information about her so far. But what's noticeable is that the other families in Jiuzhou City seem to have become much more peaceful."
Si Chen had a lot of things to deal with, especially yesterday.
Even his eldest brother, whom he was extremely at odds with, from the Si family's main house in the capital, had sent a message.
His eldest brother wouldn't mess around during this time, and told him to be quiet in Jiuzhou City for at least three months.
Everything was strange.
But he couldn't quite put his finger on it.
Si Chen gave Chi Xiaocheng a look, and then said, "Anyway, before things are completely settled, let's just stay here with peace of mind. At least nothing has happened this past week, right?"
Su Tao pouted.
They're flirting again, don't think I didn't see it!
Chi Xiaocheng had no other choice but to nod, "For now, we can only do this. But it's really boring to be stuck at home all the time."
She was certainly happy to be with Taotao.
But Su Tao spent some time every day drawing and taking commissions, and learning in various ways.
It was okay to cuddle with her occasionally, but it wasn't good to always disturb Taotao's studies.
She wanted to find something to do herself.
Besides, the world's will was also a problem.
But had Si Chen discovered something with the look he just gave her?
Chi Xiaocheng said, "Then Si Chen, don't leave so quickly later. I have something I want to ask you."
"Okay!"
Si Chen nodded, this was also a secret code between him and Chi Xiaocheng.
If Su Tao was present, then find a reason to send her away.
And then talk about things she couldn't know.
But...
To Si Chen's surprise, Su Tao actually stopped him too, "Then Si Chen, after you're done talking to Xiaocheng, wait for me too. I also have something I want to ask you."
"Uh..." Si Chen didn't understand why Su Tao was calling him, but he still nodded, "Sure, if you ask, I'll even get you the moon from the lake!"
The three understood each other tacitly, and Si Chen led Chi Xiaocheng into the study first.
Just as Chi Xiaocheng was about to speak, Si Chen suddenly made a shushing gesture.
Then he gestured towards the closed door.
His voice was soft, "Su Tao seems to have noticed something. For some reason, she's looking at me strangely. Let's talk about that thing quietly, so she doesn't hear us."
What if the girl was eavesdropping outside the door?
