Chapter 10: The Golden Cicada Sheds Its Shell

Where is the murderer? Wang Chen's gaze turned cold, yet within that coldness lay a sense of self-reproach. If only he had intervened earlier to stop Heizi, perhaps... the outcome would not have been this way

"What are you going to do?" Chen Xinyi called out to Wang Chen's back

"Boss, the assassin mentioned by the young lady..." said a young man dressed in a white suit

"Do you need me to deal with that flying dragon?" asked the young man in a suit

Wang Chen took Lin Meng'er to the location she mentioned, and then returned to his budget hotel

At eight o'clock in the morning, he got up to eat something, then lay down on the bed and began to contemplate how to better approach Lin Meng'er

As Chen Xinyi's words fell, Wang Chen's pupils trembled, and he hurriedly ran towards the police station. Chen Xinyi followed closely behind, and the two of them rushed towards Heizi's home together

"Oh, I am a friend of the deceased, I want to..." Before Wang Chen could finish his sentence, the police officer impatiently interrupted, saying: "You cannot see the body now, wait until the forensic examination is complete. The scene cannot be disturbed; we need to collect samples."

"Hey, what are you doing?" But just as Wang Chen was about to walk over there, a police officer stopped him.

Wang Chen's expression turned angry, and he wanted to say something more, but he was stopped by Chen Xinyi, who pulled him aside and said: "Let's not worry about that for now. You know better than I do what Hei Zi is up to. Now that Hei Zi is in trouble, his mother absolutely cannot face any more issues."

Wang Chen nodded upon hearing this, returned to Chen Xinyi's side, and asked, "When did this happen?"

"Did you know what he was up to all along?" Chen Xinyi asked Wang Chen, who nodded without saying a word

In a villa in City S

No, bring him here. I want him to know, and I want everyone in the underworld to know, what the consequences are for daring to lay a hand on my family!" The middle-aged man said with a cold glare, gritting his teeth.

"It has already been dealt with, thrown into the river, and was discovered by the police today," said a man in black.

"Alright, let those brothers involved in this matter go hide out of town for a while. We also need to hide for the time being, otherwise, we cannot bear the wrath of the Lin family..." said the bald man with a frown.

Lin Meng'er returned home last night. If nothing unexpected has occurred, the Lin family should now be aware of what happened yesterday. Given the capabilities of the Lin family, it should not take long for them to locate Wang Chen.

This is Heizi's money, clearly... he must have guessed his fate early on. Wang Chen cast a self-reproachful glance at the bank card

"This is related to the case, it is classified, and I cannot disclose it to you," the police officer said solemnly

"Where did you get so much money?" Chen Xinyi did not respond, looking at Wang Chen in surprise

Hello. In the end, he still pressed the answer button

"Brother Flying Dragon, that Jeep's license plate is fake!" a man in black said to the bald man. Wang Chen would definitely not make such a low-level mistake; his license plate is fake

Do you know what he is doing? Why don't you stop him? Isn't he your friend? Wang Chen, where have you been these past two years? Why have you changed like this? The old you would never have turned a blind eye to a friend!

"Wang Chen, where are you? Something has happened." As soon as he answered the call, Chen Xinyi's anxious voice came through the phone.

I have my reasons, in short... I will not let Heizi die! Wang Chen placed the bank card in Chen Xinyi's hand and then walked towards the jeep

Ding ding ding! ... ... Just as Wang Chen was deep in thought, his phone rang. He picked up his phone and saw that the caller ID was Chen Xinyi.

Understood, leave it to me," said the young man in a suit, nodding.

When Wang Chen arrived at Heizi's home, he secretly breathed a sigh of relief; Heizi's mother was fine, but she was still unaware of Heizi's situation

"What? What happened to Heizi?" Wang Chen's expression changed, and he shouted into the phone.

"Everyone is dead, what are you keeping the bodies for?" Wang Chen asked with a frown upon hearing the police's words

Let the black child close his eyes, let those people... pay the price they deserve! Wang Chen narrowed his eyes and said coldly

In an abandoned factory in City S

"Something has happened to Heizi..." Chen Xinyi said softly

Wang Chen left, but he did not notice a familiar figure in the corner of the wall. This figure was none other than Heizi, who should have been dead. At this moment, he looked at Wang Chen's jeep and murmured, "I’m sorry, Chenzi. I have my reasons for doing this. I will temporarily leave City S, but we will meet again."

Thus, Wang Chen took a cold shower and went to sleep

Chen Xinyi did not speak, only nodding her head and turning it to the side. She is a sentimental girl, and since she and Heizi are classmates, her mood is also affected by Heizi's misfortune

At that moment, receiving a call from Chen Xinyi, Wang Chen hesitated; he was unsure whether he should answer it, as the events of the past few days had been too embarrassing.

Although Hei Zi is not yet a significant figure in City S, he possesses a wide network of connections. He has bribed several individuals within the forensic department and the police station, which explains why the police did not allow Wang Chen to view the corpse, as well as the fact that the forensic expert reported the body as belonging to Hei Zi.

While on the road, Wang Chen dialed Heizi's number several times again, but it still went to the voicemail indicating that the phone was turned off

On the road, the unease in his heart grew stronger. When he arrived there and saw the police cars parked around and the ambulances rushing about, his pupils constricted slightly

... ...

"It has not been found out yet," Chen Xinyi glanced at Wang Chen and sighed as she spoke

"What happened? What is going on?" Wang Chen furrowed his brows and asked earnestly

"It should have been last night; I only received the call this morning," Chen Xinyi said softly

... ...

He quickly tidied up his belongings and hurriedly left the hotel, heading towards the address provided by Chen Xinyi

"Xinyi, I ask you for one thing, do not tell Auntie about Heizi. Here are 800,000, you can discreetly give it to her, and then move her to the countryside. With the capabilities of your Chen family, this should not be difficult, right?" Wang Chen took out two bank cards and handed them to Chen Xinyi.

"Are you crazy? Wang Chen, come back here!" Chen Xinyi wanted to stop Wang Chen, but at that moment, Wang Chen had already started the car and left the place

You should come in person, as I... it's hard to say. Chen Xinyi provided Wang Chen with the address and then hung up the phone

"Bastard! How is the matter that Ling Shao instructed you to handle going? Have those people from Zhang Yichun been dealt with?" asked the bald man

I will go take a look. Wang Chen took a deep breath and walked towards the three corpses covered by white cloth not far away

"Assassin? If he is a true assassin, that would be one thing. But if it is premeditated, and he intends to use my family to carry out his scheme, I will ensure he meets a terrible end!" The middle-aged man snorted coldly

"Is he dead?" Wang Chen got out of the car, walked to Chen Xinyi's side, swallowed a mouthful of saliva, and asked.

"They actually targeted my daughter, truly audacious and reckless. In S City? The only one who holds a grudge against me should be that Flying Dragon!" said a middle-aged man in his forties coldly

A few hours later, in the police station, a police officer holding the autopsy report said to Wang Chen and Chen Xinyi: "The identity of the deceased has been confirmed, one of whom is Zhang Yichun, whom you know. However, he is suspected of being involved in organized crime, and the body cannot be released to you for the time being"
