1818 Engagement (1)
He Xuan was a cultivator, and his physical condition was different. Ordinary interrogation methods were useless in getting him to reveal his secrets.
However, the medicine that Xia Xibei produced finally pried open his mouth.
He Xuan didn’t expect such a miraculous drug to exist here.
After taking the medication, he became dazed and finally revealed some information that Xia Xibei and Qiao Yanjue wanted to know about Jin Ji’en.
Unfortunately, He Xuan, even though he spoke, didn’t really understand Jin Ji’en’s true strength.
Jin Ji’en had been managing things behind the scenes for so many years, and no one could grasp the extent of his resources.
Although He Xuan was his godson, he had several other godsons.
These godsons were scattered across different countries and, in comparison, He Xuan’s abilities were not as great, and his status was not particularly high.
Furthermore, Jin Jiso had instructed He Xuan to focus on domestic affairs and leave the other matters to others to handle.
This was also where Jin Ji’en was cunning.
If he revealed everything to them, wouldn’t that be complete exposure?
Therefore, even He Xuan only knew a small part of it.
This disappointed Xia Xibei and Qiao Yanjue.
They had hoped to learn more from He Xuan’s mouth, but they did not expect Jin Ji’en to be so cunning that he kept such secrecy from his own godson.
Fortunately, they still gained something.
At least they knew that Jin Ji’en had more than two processing plants and several illegal farms filled with contraband.
Xia Xibei and Qiao Yanjue had planned to continue questioning He Xuan in a few days to extract all the information he had, but they did not expect him to commit suicide in the detention center that night.
This news stunned them both.
“He committed suicide?!” Xia Xibei’s eyes widened. “Could he have faked his death?”
“No,” Qiao Yanjue shook his head with a serious expression. “I had someone look into it. It was him. He was abandoned by the organization.”
“Was it suicide or murder?”
“Suicide,” Qiao Yanjue said confidently. “The surveillance camera captured him stabbing himself with a knife.”
Xia Xibei felt a little heavy-hearted. “Where did he get the knife to commit suicide?”
“I don’t know. There were no other fingerprints on it.”
This turn of events caught them off guard and made them both somber.
It also indicated that Jin Ji’en had other spies in the country! Otherwise, He Xuan could not have committed suicide.
He wouldn’t even have found a knife, let alone killed himself.
It seemed that there were still undercover agents in the police station.
The two of them exchanged a glance, heaving a silent sigh.
They had thought that they could find a breakthrough from He Xuan, but who could have expected such a turn of events?
The unexpected death of He Xuan caught them completely off guard.
Now they had to come up with a new plan.
They wondered what the situation was with Han Rui’s side.
“Let’s go after Qi Xin,” Xia Xibei suggested.
“Okay,” Qiao Yanjue agreed without hesitation.
They had previously agreed to target Qi Xin and find Ling Juan, while also digging up Jiang Rongguang.
However, they were preoccupied with handling Wang Tianze after finding He Xuan, so they didn’t do anything to Qi Xin.
Who could have thought that He Xuan would die like that?
So now they would go after Qi Xin.
Before they could make a move, they received news that Qi Xin was getting engaged.
Qi Xin was going to be engaged to Gu Guanlin!
This news stunned Xia Xibei and Qiao Yanjue.
