C115 Investigate

Outside the mottled gate of the house, Gui Dehan knelt on the ground with a miserable expression. In front of him, Zhu Ziqiao held her sword and placed it on Gui Dehan's shoulder. That sharp blade could cut off his head at any time.

Gui Dehan's face was pale, and his eyes were filled with despair. However, he still couldn't help but say, "Miss Xhu, what I said was the truth. What happened back then... The people who followed Big Brother Zhu might not be here anymore. But... Wen Zhongming's people are still here, many of them know about it... "

" What treasure did my father find that year?! " Zhu Ziqiao suddenly interrupted Gui Dehan and asked in a cold voice.

Gui Dehan was startled. He immediately shook his head and said, "I am not clear about this. I did not follow along that day..."

"The person who escaped did not tell you?" Zhu Ziqiao interrupted Gui Dehan once again and asked in a cold voice.

"That brother's injuries are too severe. Half of his body has been destroyed. There was no time to say what the treasure was." Gui Dehan shook his head and said, "However, the treasure must be extraordinary to make Wen Zhongming go crazy..."

"How much is your house worth?" Zhu Ziqiao suddenly asked.

"... " Ah? " Zhu Ziqiao's question was too sudden and Gui Dehan did not react in time.

"Aren't you going to sell the house to me? Why? Are you going back on your word?" Zhu Ziqiao asked with a frown.

"Ah!"

Only now did Gui Dehan understand that he didn't need to die. Zhu Ziqiao didn't kill him. Instead, she wanted to buy his house.

Immediately, a surge of ecstasy surged from the bottom of his heart. It made him shiver uncontrollably. He suddenly raised his head and looked at Zhu Ziqiao. He wanted to express his gratitude, but when the words were about to come out of his mouth, his trembling lips prevented him from saying a single word.

"I believe what you said is true. Seeing that you and my father are old acquaintances, I will buy your house." Zhu Ziqiao said.

"Miss Xhu... thank you!"

Gui Dehan was so excited that his whole body trembled slightly. He said with gratitude.

Zhu Ziqiao waved her hand and took out a bag of gold coins. She threw it to Gui Dehan and said, "There is no need to thank me. These gold coins are enough to match your house."

Gui Dehan finally felt relieved when he really got the gold coins. Just now, he almost walked around the gate of hell. It already made him feel happy that he had escaped death. Now, Zhu Ziqiao had really bought his house. This was a huge difference. He almost couldn't believe it.

"Big, Big Miss, the third house in front is this old man's house..." Gui Dehan was very excited when he received the gold coins. He smiled and said to Zhu Ziqiao.

"I will go and see." Zhu Ziqiao nodded slightly.

Gui Dehan saw that Zhu Ziqiao was still very cold and could not help but laugh. "Miss Xhu, do you have any other instructions? If not, this old man will take his leave first..."

Zhu Ziqiao nodded, "Let's go."

Gui Dehan smiled flatteringly and left with gratitude.

"Humph!"

Seeing Gui Dehan's back disappear at the end of the street, Zhu Ziqiao could not help but snort coldly. She gritted her teeth and said, "This old villain! I want to see what exactly he wants to do!"

Lin Cheng was amused. "Girl, you can tell?"

Zhu Ziqiao snorted, "Of course. Although I am still unable to control my Yuan energy to the degree of fine control, I am still a Ninth Level of Chakra Stage expert no matter what. Naturally, I can sense his bluffing when he speaks, and his guilty expression... "

Lin Cheng nodded slightly and smiled, "What he said before should be true. It's just that he lied when he talked about the treasure at the end."

Although Gui Dehan could not provide any evidence to prove what he said, he did not know that he did not need any evidence in front of Lin Cheng and Zhu Ziqiao, who were two Ninth Level of Chakra Stage warriors.

Because, his heartbeat, the flow of Yuan energy in his body, and even the slightest expression on his face could not escape Lin Cheng and Zhu Ziqiao's senses.

Lin Cheng and ___ noticed that after Gui Dehan was rendered speechless by his lie, what he said was the truth.

Including the fact that he was chased by the people of Wen Family back then, a brother was severely injured and eventually died, and even Zhu Ziqiao's father found the treasure. All of these were true.

In the end, when Zhu Ziqiao asked him what treasure he found, Gui Dehan lied. Obviously, he knew what the treasure was, but he said that he didn't know.

"This means that he has something on his mind!" Zhu Ziqiao said coldly.

"But he is only a Body-refining Stage Cultivation Level. Judging from the Yuan energy fluctuations on his body, he is at most at the seventh level of the Body-refining Stage. With his Cultivation Level, could it be that he also wants that treasure?"

Lin Cheng couldn't help but frown and say.

Gui Dehan was hiding some kind of information about the treasure, and he was trying to shirk that he didn't know about it. This was obviously because he had something on his mind, and that was the biggest possibility. Even this man had his eyes on the treasure. Otherwise... He shouldn't have lied to Zhu Ziqiao. This was the daughter of Big Brother Zhu that Gui Dehan had mentioned.

However, a mere seventh level Body-refining Stage actually wanted a treasure, and this treasure was most likely in Wen Zhongming's hands. The difference between a seventh level Body-refining Stage and a Core Sea Stage like Wen Zhongming was like heaven and earth. It couldn't be compared at all!

Therefore, Lin Cheng couldn't understand Gui Dehan's motive.

Zhu Ziqiao pursed her lips and remained silent.

After a moment, she said firmly, "My goal is to find out the cause of my biological parents' death. If they were really killed by Wen Zhongming, then I must avenge them! As for other things, I don't want to think about it for the time being... "

She couldn't help but shake her head. No matter what treasure it was, it was not as important as her parents' lives. If she could use the treasure to exchange for her parents' lives, then she was willing to do all she could to find the treasure to exchange for her parents' lives.

Lin Cheng held her small hand tightly. He could understand the sadness in Zhu Ziqiao's heart.

If what Gui Dehan said was true, it also meant that... Wen Zhongming not only killed Zhu Ziqiao's parents, but also made Zhu Ziqiao acknowledge thieves as her father for so many years. To Zhu Ziqiao, this was even if she did not know about it. It was also a heavy blow.

If it was anyone else, they would feel incomparably resentful in their hearts.

"Little thief, let's go back." Zhu Ziqiao's voice was low as she sighed.

"Okay."

Lin Cheng smiled and nodded.

Although they knew what Gui Dehan was thinking, they didn't care about it. No matter what he was thinking, with his mere Body-refining Stage Cultivation Level, there wouldn't be a good result.

When the two of them returned to the inn, Zhu Ziqiao didn't have the mood to sleep.

"Little thief, what do you think... should I do next?" Zhu Ziqiao suddenly asked.

"If I go directly to the Wen Family to question Wen Zhongming, it doesn't matter if he admits it or not. You will have doubts in your heart. Furthermore, based on what Gui Dehan said, it's still too weak to believe that Wen Zhongming killed your biological parents."

Lin Cheng pondered for a moment and said, "So in my opinion, it's best to find evidence. No matter what, we have to find the person beside Wen Zhongming and ask him to account for what happened that year."

Zhu Ziqiao shook her head and said, "It has been so many years. Where can we find evidence?"

As for what Lin Cheng said, she wanted Wen Zhongming's trusted aide to tell her about what happened that year. She subconsciously ignored it because even if it was Wen Zhongming's confidant who told her about it, what was the difference between that and Gui Dehan's explanation?

How could she completely believe empty words without proof?

Even under the might of the two of them, the other party was forced to give an explanation. However, if the words were true and the words were false, they wouldn't be able to tell. In fact, it might even cause irreparable consequences. At that time, no matter how regretful they were... It was too late.

Lin Cheng smiled and said, "It's not difficult. I will make some preparations tomorrow. I guarantee that there won't be any mistakes."

Zhu Ziqiao could not help but ask, "What do you plan to do?"

Lin Cheng laughed and said, "I have my own ways. Girl, rest assured. The truth will come out soon."

Zhu Ziqiao looked at him suspiciously but could not think of what he wanted to do. No matter how she asked, Lin Cheng just smiled and did not say anything. She could only give up.

The next day.0

When the sky in the east turned white, Zhu Ziqiao habitually withdrew from her cultivation state and suddenly frowned.

There was no sound of Lin Cheng's breathing in the room next door. She immediately got up and went out. She went to the door of Lin Cheng's room and pushed open the door. She found that there was no one in the room. Lin Cheng had disappeared.

Zhu Ziqiao could not help but frown. Last night, because she was irritated and did not have the mood to sleep, she had cultivated for the whole night. It was also because she was too focused on her cultivation that she did not notice the movement in Lin Cheng's room.

"This little thief, what did he do again?"

Zhu Ziqiao muttered in her heart. Then she remembered that last night Lin Cheng said that he would go and make some preparations. She could not help but be curious and did not know what Lin Cheng was going to do.

Time passed by.

An hour.

Two hours.

Four hours...

When noon had passed and Lin Cheng was still nowhere to be seen, Zhu Ziqiao's heart gradually began to become anxious and her eyebrows also gradually knitted together.

She pursed her lips and thought about where Lin Cheng might go.

"Wait!"

Zhu Ziqiao was suddenly shocked and cried out involuntarily, "Could it be that he... went straight to find Wen Zhongming?"

Thinking of this, Zhu Ziqiao immediately became anxious, although Lin Cheng was already a Ninth Level of Chakra Stage. Furthermore, the Yuan energy in his body was surging, and he also had a Blue Fire. However, Wen Zhongming was an expert who had already stepped into the Core Sea Stage. Furthermore, there were many experts in the Wen Family. If Lin Cheng went alone, he might suffer a great loss!

"No, I have to go and find him!" Zhu Ziqiao gritted her teeth and thought to herself, "Little thief, you must not be stupid. I would rather not take revenge than to see you in trouble..."

"Jiya!"

At this moment, the sound of the door closing could be heard from outside the room. Shortly after, Lin Cheng's voice sounded, "Little girl, pack up and prepare to find Wen Zhongming. He was the one who did it all those years ago!"

Bang!

Before Zhu Ziqiao could ask why, a person was suddenly thrown to the ground in front of her by Lin Cheng. "He confessed everything..."
