Dragon King Palace: Urban Affluent Son-in-Law-Chapter 1253: Killing with a Borrowed Knife

Chapter 1253: Chapter 1253: Killing with a Borrowed Knife

"Do you remember Lin Zekai?" Baili Xiyue asked Jiang Feng in a serious tone.

"Of course! What’s wrong?"

Jiang Feng more than just remembered; he knew Lin Zekai had died a horrible death!

"He mysteriously died in the Provincial City not long ago! The Lin Family of Beijing is enraged because of it, and today they flew directly to the Provincial City, barging into my grandfather’s place to demand an explanation!"

Baili Xiyue said angrily.

The Lin Family of Beijing, that name still held some intimidation for her. Growing up with constant exposure, she had an instinctive reverence for those Capital City families.

However, the situation of the Lin Family causing a ruckus at Baili Manor was news to her.

Bai Touying personally called her, partly to remind her of the seriousness of the situation, and also to inform her that the Lin Family had sent people to Binhai, so she and Jiang Feng could take precautions early.

Yet even so, Baili Xiyue couldn’t believe Lin Zekai’s death was related to Jiang Feng. After all, she knew Jiang Feng had been at home for the past few days; there was no way she could imagine Jiang Feng orchestrating something remotely!

"What does this have to do with me?"

Jiang Feng also had no intention of admitting it, feigning ignorance.

"I don’t think it has anything to do with us either! That day we left the Provincial City without even seeing Lin Zekai again, so his death shouldn’t involve us..."

Baili Xiyue grew more indignant the more she spoke: "However, the Lin Family suspects you did it! Because what happened at the manor that day was revealed by my sworn brother..." 𝗳𝐫𝚎𝗲𝚠𝚎𝗯𝕟𝐨𝘃𝚎𝗹.𝗰𝗼𝗺

"Shi Yaokun?"

Jiang Feng squinted his eyes; surely, his influence was present!

"Yes! I heard Brother Yaokun had no choice. The Lin Family’s people had come demanding accountability at the doorstep, forcing my grandfather to face them with the whole family, so Brother Yaokun had to reveal what happened that day to help grandpa out of a bind..."

Baili Xiyue still trusted Shi Yaokun deeply. This stemmed from the concepts ingrained in her from a young age, which couldn’t easily be changed, as she firmly believed everything Shi Yaokun did was for the Baili Family, for Baili Xi!

Jiang Feng then gave a mocking smile; this was the most blatant scapegoating!

Only someone like Baili Xiyue couldn’t see it, while Shi Yaokun dared to play the trick of using one to slay another?!

"So then, what’s your purpose in calling me?" Jiang Feng feigned indifference.

"Come back quickly! At the very least, we should discuss how to handle this. After all, the Lin Family is not easy to mess with. Uncle Bai told me they’re already on their way to Binhai!" Baili Xiyue urgently said.

"Let them come; I have nothing to fear from shadows when standing upright. When they come, I’ll just explain to them." Jiang Feng said calmly.

Baili Xiyue was stunned for a moment, then quickly sensed Jiang Feng’s displeasure, and immediately said, "Jiang Feng, don’t act recklessly! We didn’t do this, we only need to clarify it. Please don’t act on impulse! I called to prevent your violent temper from causing problems..."

Despite her usual frustration and quarrels, Baili Xiyue was undeniably attached to Jiang Feng. She knew that if things were mishandled, Jiang Feng might indeed take the fall and be seen as the murderer by the Lin Family!

Yet, the root cause of all this was because of her!

If she hadn’t dragged Jiang Feng to the Provincial City that day, he wouldn’t have been struck by such a misfortune, and thinking about it filled her with guilt.

"As I said, I walk straight and act upright; if people come, I can’t stop them. Call Bai Touying and get the license plates of the Lin Family’s cars, and I’ll go meet them." Jiang Feng said seriously.

"Jiang Feng!!—"

"Do what I said, and call me back when you’ve asked." Jiang Feng finished speaking and directly hung up the phone.

On the other side, Baili Xiyue was both frantic and speechless!

In the room, Jiang Feng looked at Mu Yanluo and Situ Yan watching him eagerly, and said to Situ Yan: "Let’s hold off on the operations department. Check a few cars for me later and track their locations."

"Did you get into trouble again?"

Situ Yan said irritably.

With the sudden turn of events, she wasn’t in the mood to purely sulk, especially after hearing words like "Provincial City" and "Capital City" over the phone just now, which indicated the seriousness of the matter.

This troublemaker Jiang Feng truly doesn’t cause trouble most of the time, but when he does, it’s a huge mess!

"Don’t worry about anything else, just find those cars." Jiang Feng didn’t bother to elaborate, knowing his usual approach of nipping trouble in the bud was the wise choice.

"Jiang Feng, what’s going on? Who was that girl on the phone? Is there anything we can help with?" Mu Yanluo asked with concern.

"Nothing." Jiang Feng shook his head, glanced at the beautiful Mu Yanluo, and then said to Situ Yan: "Later, help me take her home. Today is her birthday, buy her a birthday cake for me."

"There’s no need..." Mu Yanluo tried to stop him quickly, but inside she was deeply touched.

Even with things to handle, Jiang Feng hadn’t forgotten her birthday, which made her heart flutter.

"Why am I serving you like this?" Situ Yan was speechless!

He’s trying to romance a girl and even wants me to spend money on a gift?!!

Jiang Feng was about to say something when Baili Xiyue suddenly called again, so he had to stop.

Baili Xiyue started speaking angrily right away: "Jiang Feng, I got the license plate numbers! Fortunately, Uncle Bai has sharp eyes and noted down those cars’ plates, but are you sure you don’t want to face them with me? I can’t stand by idly on this matter!"

"You should stay out of it; keep busy with what you should. The Lin Family isn’t worth making a fuss over. Send the plate numbers to my phone."

Baili Xiyue was thoroughly helpless, but she also knew Jiang Feng’s character. Once Jiang Feng made up his mind, even if she was reluctant, she could only comply.

So she had no choice but to send the license plate numbers over.

Jiang Feng glanced at them, then handed them to Situ Yan: "Just these few cars, track them."

"One moment."

Situ Yan rolled her eyes at Jiang Feng, took the phone, and instructed Niu Tao and the others outside to handle it.

Outside.

Niu Tao and others were still waiting for their captain to blow up in anger! After all, they knew the relationship between Situ Yan and Jiang Feng, and imagined their captain wouldn’t keep her cool when catching someone in such a compromising position!

Yet, surprisingly, when Situ Yan came out, she was extremely calm, only directing them to check a few license plates without showing any anger, which felt bizarre to them.

Before long, the movements of those cars were tracked by the operations department’s Skynet and reported back to Situ Yan.

And Situ Yan immediately informed Jiang Feng.

The discovery was astonishing!

The group was already almost on the outskirts of Binhai!

If they had checked a bit later, the group would have possibly entered the city, ready to turn things upside down to find Jiang Feng!
