Chapter 551: Chapter 551: Settling Scores After the Autumn
"But isn’t this matter a bit too simple?"
Chi Youyou stared at the screen, feeling that this was much simpler than she had anticipated.
The things Elder Kong was doing in the background must have had some powerful backing; otherwise, he couldn’t have been so powerful for so long. Could they really have taken him down so easily now?
"This matter won’t end so quickly, but at least we can break one of their arms."
While investigating this matter, Song Shiyu discovered some clues.
Indeed, as Chi Youyou said, it wasn’t that simple.
Elder Kong could be said to be the person in the open, or as they commonly call it, a scapegoat.
He had a very high reputation in the academic world, serving as a shield. Most people wouldn’t think too deeply and would assume he had simply gone mad with his research, dealing with these prohibited items!
"What do you mean?"
Cheng Shujin was taken aback, "The matter isn’t over yet?"
He thought that once Elder Kong was dealt with, the whole matter would be over!
"For now, it seems to be over. The other side doesn’t want to spend too much energy on this; perhaps Elder Kong was already an abandoned piece."
Chi Youyou nodded in agreement at this, "Elder Kong wanted to find a balance remedy through my grandfather, but since my grandfather passed away, the force behind him probably couldn’t wait anymore."
"Yeah."
"Huh?"
Listening to their conversation, Cheng Shujin was confused, but knowing the matter wasn’t over, he began to feel nervous again.
At night, the people who came to see Old Sir Cheng’s final face gradually left.
The vast Cheng Family Manor returned to silence once again.
"Dad!"
Cheng Shihuai was sitting in the living room when he suddenly heard Cheng Shujin’s voice from behind. He quickly gestured for him to remain quiet, signaling to someone nearby.
Several people dressed in black were methodically conducting a search in the hall.
Chi Youyou and a few of her companions followed behind Cheng Shujin. They went to confirm Old Sir Cheng’s status; the next day, they would carry out the final procedure and secretly send him back to Huaxia.
Is there a listening device?
Chi Youyou watched them professionally using tools to investigate, and that was her first thought.
"All checked, a total of 11."
The small, pitch-black boxes were all poured out on the table, having lost their functionality.
Cheng Shihuai looked at the mountain of boxes on the table, his expression extremely unpleasant.
"These people really don’t take our Cheng Family seriously!"
In just one day, they extended their reach, each wanting to discover some secret!
"Deal with these and find out their source in the meantime."
"Yes!"
Cheng Shihuai waved them off, and soon only their own people remained in the hall.
"You guys, such a big thing, and I’m the last one to know about it!"
Indeed, Cheng Shihuai was the last to be informed of this matter, including the arrangements for Old Sir Cheng’s fake death.
"No, even my mom doesn’t know yet."
"You’re talking back!"
"I’m sorry, I’m sorry..."
"Big brother!"
Cheng Shihuai said this and gave Cheng Shujin a flick on the forehead.
Cheng Ruosheng quickly shielded Cheng Shujin, "Big brother, the kids have worked hard too; it’s mainly to avoid affecting your work."
"Nice talk, more like afraid I’d slip up!"
Cheng Shihuai snorted coldly.
"Uncle, it’s nothing like that, you’re overthinking it~"
Chi Youyou clung to his arm and said coquettishly; Cheng Shihuai’s previously stern face softened instantly.
"Alright, I’ll listen to you for this matter, but from now on, inform me of all plans in advance!"
