Dragon King Palace: Urban Affluent Son-in-Law
Chapter 814: Falling from Heaven into Hell!
If you ask how fast a person can fall from heaven to hell, for Chang Wanhe, it is only a mere two hours.
After arriving at the small poplar grove where the incident occurred, he found out that Huangfu Qingzhi had mysteriously disappeared here, alive without a trace, and dead without a body, which left him utterly shocked!
He knew how difficult it had been to establish a connection with Huangfu Qingzhi.
It could be said that his hopes of rising again, of becoming more successful than ever, were all pinned on Huangfu Qingzhi.
But now, something had happened to Huangfu Qingzhi!
This made the celebration banquet he had just held become a complete joke.
Moreover, the project Huangfu Qingzhi gave him had many irregularities.
If Huangfu Qingzhi indeed had an accident, and a new leader took over, the project would certainly not be his anymore.
The duck he had in his hands just flew away, and that was at least a massive twenty billion!
"Zhou XX, what exactly happened here, how could Huangfu XX disappear for no reason?"
Chang Wanhe, somewhat losing control of his emotions, came to the head of Binhe and asked.
"You're asking me? I should be asking you!"
The head of Binhe looked even worse: "Huangfu XX last emerged from your construction site, he had just left when he arrived here, and then went missing, and you're saying you have nothing to do with it?"
Chang Wanhe was startled, realizing that the other party was trying to pin the blame on him, quickly said: "Zhou XX, heavens and earth can testify, when I last parted ways with Huangfu XX, he was fine! My company's top executives all saw it, it has absolutely nothing to do with me!"
"Don't rush to clear yourself!"
The head coldly said: "Think carefully, how did Huangfu XX look when he departed, was there anything unusual?"
"To talk about unusual, there actually was something…"
Chang Wanhe recalled: "When he left, he seemed flustered, and his attitude towards me was not as good as when he arrived. I tried to keep him for a meal, but he wouldn't stay, he seemed to be afraid of something, could it be… he already knew he was in trouble?"
"Chang Wanhe, let me warn you! If it comes to light after thorough investigation that Huangfu XX's accident is connected to you, don't expect Binhe City to protect you! Your entire Changshi Group will be implicated and processed!" The head of Binhe City said bluntly!
Bang!
Hearing these words, Chang Wanhe felt like he was struck by lightning, stumbling back a few steps.
All his fears had become reality!
If this matter doesn't have a resolution, he will become the one who takes the fall!
At this moment, he suddenly thought, if someone was indeed behind such a quick move against Huangfu Qingzhi, could it be Jiang Feng?
After all, Jiang Feng had both the motive and the capability!
But he did not dare mention this to the head of Binhe, as it involved some shady dealings that could not be exposed.
In his heart, he made a firm decision that if he found out it was Jiang Feng, he would not let Jiang Feng off, even if it meant mutual destruction!
...
Time quickly passed noon, and despite Binhe's efforts to suppress the news of the provincial giant Huangfu Qingzhi's mysterious disappearance, it still spread like wildfire.
After all, he was an important figure of the provincial government, one of the few incredibly influential people. To suddenly evaporate into thin air on the way back from an investigation was shocking.
Even if this matter reached Capital City, it wouldn't be a small issue!
In the Provincial City, at the Qi Family Mansion, when Qi Mengge heard this news, she was so shocked she almost fell to the ground!
She knew more insider information than Chang Wanhe, which gave her more reason to believe that this was Jiang Feng's doing!
Because, aside from Huangfu Qingzhi's sudden accident, Miao Renfeng, who was supposed to contact her today, hadn't sent word at all.
And she couldn't reach Miao Renfeng despite her attempts.
Considering these points, Qi Mengge concluded that Miao Renfeng had already fallen victim to Jiang Feng.
Before dying, Miao Renfeng likely revealed information about herself and Huangfu Qingzhi, prompting Jiang Feng's gradual revenge!
She was overwhelmed with panic, unable to remain calm.
Originally, she intended to hide the successive failures from her father, Qi Xingchun, especially the disastrous southern trip that cost Uncle Gang's life…
But now, there was no way to hide it, Jiang Feng's next target would surely be her!
In a state of extreme anxiety, Qi Mengge hurriedly left the house, heading straight to the Qi Family's main residence.
There, Qi Xingchun was chatting with several important guests.
Upon seeing his daughter enter, he frowned slightly.
"Is there something?"
"Father, I have something urgent to tell you!" Qi Mengge said bitterly.
Noticing the situation, the guests politely stood up: "Patriarch Qi, please go ahead, we'll wait outside."
"Alright, I'll have someone take you to the tea room, please wait for me there."
With that, Qi Xingchun called a few people in to escort the guests out.
Then, he turned coldly to Qi Mengge and said, "What's going on?"
Qi Mengge's face was pale with fright.
She knew that in her father's eyes, she was an incompetent daughter who betrayed his trust.
Thus, she spoke very cautiously: "Father, please don't be angry when I tell you this, I… have let you down again…"
"What did you say?!"
Qi Xingchun frowned upon hearing this, and his expression darkened even more!
"Father, please listen to me! When you asked me to clean up my own mess last time, I really did try my best and followed your instructions, but unfortunately, things didn't go as planned…"
"You are truly unworthy of being my daughter, Qi Xingchun's daughter!"
Qi Xingchun gritted his teeth, sneering, "Then tell me, what exactly have you done these past few days?"
"Father, since I left you that day, I started investigating whether Jiang Feng, the one who destroyed the Dongfang Family, was still alive. But the result was shocking, he really is still alive!"
"Because of this, I was filled with resentment and could only devise every possible method to eliminate him, both to avenge Hui'er and to meet your expectations…"
"During this time, Huangfu Qingzhi from the Huangfu Family came to me voluntarily, providing significant help, suggesting that I go south to invite people from two Hidden Sects to deal with Jiang Feng…"
"Huangfu Qingzhi, would he be so kind?" Qi Xingchun said disdainfully.
He knew the other man's character too well, both were old foxes, no profit, no motivation.
"He's just using you, no help at all!" Qi Xingchun scoffed: "Go on!"
"Huangfu Qingzhi himself harbors an irreconcilable hatred towards Jiang Feng! Because the force behind the fall of his family was Jiang Feng! So that's why he came to me…"
"Following his guidance, I had Uncle Gang accompany me south. We left two nights ago, heading to the Ten Thousand Mountains of Yundian, where we enlisted a master."
"But Uncle Gang, due to his impudent words, was killed in front of that Sect's gates, I dared not speak out…"
Qi Xingchun was taken aback upon hearing this, no wonder he hadn't seen Zhou Zhengang these days, secretly helping his daughter, yet died so unjustly and cowardly!
"Fortunately, though, fate favored me. I managed to bring that master back from the Ten Thousand Mountains and sent him to Binhai last night, intending for him to deal with Jiang Feng directly…"
"And then?" Qi Xingchun looked at his daughter's pale face, urging further!
