Villain: After Intercepting the Female Lead, the Protagonist Collapses C.180

Chapter 180: Xiao Qingge: At Least You Have a Conscience

The next day, around noon.

Xiao Qingge groggily opened her eyes and saw that there was no one beside her, feeling a bit disappointed.

Just as she was about to get up, she saw a bank card placed on the table next to her, with a note underneath it. Without thinking, she knew it was left by Jiang Che. Curious, Xiao Qingge picked up the note and read it.

[This card contains five million. Consider it your reward for your good performance last night. You don’t have to worry about the Xiao family’s debt. I will personally talk to my mother about it. If you need anything, remember to call me.]

Seeing Jiang Che’s message, Xiao Qingge’s face flushed with embarrassment.

“Such a bad guy~” Xiao Qingge lay back on the bed, feeling a warm sensation in her heart.

Given the circumstances, she had no complaints. Jiang Che, after all, was quite responsible.

Yawning, Xiao Qingge closed her eyes and soon drifted back into sleep…

…

After returning to Tianchen Group, Chen Feng convened all the top executives of the company for a meeting. The agenda was to investigate the truth behind the Chen family’s massacre six years ago.

The top executives of Tianchen Group were all from the northern border, making this their stronghold in Linjiang City.

“Master Tiasha, investigating this matter may not be that simple.” A portly middle-aged man hesitated before speaking.

The Chen family massacre had occurred six years ago, making it undoubtedly difficult to reinvestigate.

“Mobilize all northern border personnel in Linjiang City to investigate! I want results within a week.” Chen Feng said in a stern voice. He knew that uncovering the truth wouldn’t be easy.

But if he didn’t put pressure on these people, they wouldn’t have the motivation to pursue it.

“Apart from official contacts, we don’t have much influence among the families in Linjiang City…”

The middle-aged man said helplessly. It was clear that the Chen family massacre was orchestrated by powerful families. Without involvement from the families, the investigation would yield no results.

Moreover, the perpetrators might have already destroyed all evidence with official help.

“So what do you suggest we do?” Chen Feng frowned, looking displeased at the fat man.

Damn it, they hadn’t even started investigating, and they were already at wits end? How could they expect results with that attitude!

“Master Tiansha, we do have some connections among the families in Linjiang City. One of the Eight Great Generals of the northern border, Lin Tianlong, is from the Lin family in Linjiang City.”

“He is the youngest son of the current head of the Lin family, Lin Canghai.” Another man in his thirties, wearing gold-rimmed glasses, pushed his glasses up and spoke.

“Lin Tianlong?” Hearing this, Chen Feng frowned. freeweɓnøvel.com

He was familiar with Lin Tianlong, one of the Eight Great Generals of the northern border, and now he found out they were from the same hometown.

“That’s right, the Chen family’s matter likely involves the interests of powerful families. If someone from the Lin family personally investigates, it would be much easier.” The man with glasses nodded, explaining the situation clearly.

“Then I’ll personally visit the Lin family…” Chen Feng took a deep breath and agreed. He realized that having a powerful family investigate would indeed make things easier.

To show his respect for the Lin family, Chen Feng decided to go in person. With that, Chen Feng got up from his chair, took some specialty products from the northern border, and left Tianchen Group with a few Shadow Dragon Guards.

“Do you think Master Tiansha will get results from his investigation?” After Chen Feng left, someone couldn’t help but ask out of curiosity.

“I doubt it. It’s been six years.” The portly man shook his head, not optimistic about the investigation.

It wasn’t that he doubted Chen Feng, but the time gap was too long.

“I wouldn’t be so sure. Master Tiansha has many connections in Linjiang City. He might uncover the truth.”

“I think…”

“Enough, no more discussing. Don’t you all have work to do?” The man with glasses frowned, interrupting the discussion. As one of Chen Feng’s confidants, he didn’t want to hear anyone speaking ill of him.

“We don’t need to worry about his matters. We just need to do our jobs well. Don’t forget, we work for the northern border!”

Hearing the man with glasses, everyone quickly dispersed.

…

At the Lin family estate.

Chen Feng, carrying some small gifts, got out of a BMW and headed towards the Lin family with two Shadow Dragon Guards.

However, they were stopped by the security guard at the entrance.

“Sir, this is a private residence. Without an invitation, you cannot enter.” The security guard said politely. Although Chen Feng’s attire was simple, his imposing presence was evident, clearly not an ordinary person.

Thus, the guard was very respectful, afraid of offending him with a single word. Having worked as a security guard for the Lin family for years, he had seen many powerful figures and had developed a keen sense.

“Tell your master that I’m from the northern border and a colleague of Lin Tianlong.” Chen Feng said with a smile, showing no anger. He understood the rules of powerful families.

“Very well, please wait a moment. I’ll report this immediately.” The guard said respectfully, turning and heading into the Lin family estate.

…

Lin Canghai was leisurely drinking tea in the living room. Ever since handing over the company to Lin Zhentian, he had been enjoying a relaxed life.

“Master, there’s someone outside claiming to be from the northern border who wishes to see you.” The security guard entered the living room and respectfully reported to Lin Canghai.

“Someone from the northern border?” Hearing this, Lin Canghai was taken aback.

His youngest son served in the northern border army. Could it be that he had returned? But that didn’t make sense. If it were his son, there would be no need for a report.

“That’s right. They said they are colleagues of Young Master Tianlong.”

“I see. Please invite them in.” Hearing the guard’s explanation, Lin Canghai understood.

“Understood.” The guard responded and left.

…

“Sir, our master invites you in for a conversation.” Returning to the entrance, the security guard politely said to Chen Feng, gesturing for him to enter.

“Thank you…” Chen Feng thanked him and, accompanied by two Shadow Dragon Guards, entered the Lin family estate.
