Chapter 4062: Chapter 4081: Wang Family, You Really Are Everywhere

Liu Chengjin confessed.

Although no soul-searching technique was used, Lin Chen knew many torturous tricks.

The Creation God had previously shared many tips with Lin Chen, and these tips were all ones he had personally experienced, along with his feelings as the subject of the techniques.

Liu Chengjin couldn’t withstand any of them and confessed immediately.

Liu Chengjin did indeed betray Zhang Zhongjiu, but it was not Zhang Zhongjiu himself he betrayed, rather the progress of the investigation.

According to Liu Chengjin, after the Huang Family was sealed off, someone contacted him secretly, asking him to report the progress of the investigation team in secret.

According to what the other party said, they wanted to know who was behind the scenes, and their goal was the prescription in the Huang Family’s hands. By gathering more intelligence, they could have a larger operation space.

The other party told Liu Chengjin that they just wanted to understand many forms of information in advance to be a step ahead, and since the truth was bound to be revealed, Liu Chengjin informing them earlier didn’t affect the investigation.

Although Liu Chengjin felt there were many suspicious points in all this, the offer was too enticing.

Who can resist the temptation of money?

If there is such a person, it can only mean the money was not enough.

Liu Chengjin agreed to the other party, who immediately sent him a sum of money in a discreet and untraceable way, which allowed Liu Chengjin to taste the benefits.

Afterward, whenever Team Two had any progress, he would inform the other party in advance, earning a good number of rewards. When Zhang Zhongjiu asked him to investigate the suspect and eventually pinpointed the person, Liu Chengjin made a phone call right after Zhang Zhongjiu left.

He didn’t reveal the suspect’s identity, only saying that Zhang Zhongjiu had found the person connected to the killer and was continuing the pursuit.

Shortly after, Zhang Zhongjiu ran into trouble.

Upon hearing the news that Zhang Zhongjiu was arrested for allegedly killing a suspect, Liu Chengjin’s heart sank. He quickly contacted the other party, who told him he had already taken the money and that this had nothing to do with him so he should keep his mouth shut, or he’d end up in prison.

Liu Chengjin secretly regretted it. Although Zhang Zhongjiu had just arrived and was always serious, only talking about work with no personal dealings, he always led by example during cases. It was due to him that Zhang Zhongjiu was framed. Liu Chengjin felt guilty about it.

However, the mistake was already made, and there was no turning back. All he could do was pretend he knew nothing.

After confessing everything, Liu Chengjin fainted and, upon waking, found himself with his furnace sealed and locked in a cell, with no way to call for help.

With the important witness Liu Chengjin imprisoned in the Void Pearl’s cell, Lin Chen and the others began the second step.

"The other party mentioned focusing on the Huang Family and wanting the Huang Family’s prescription. This might be an excuse, but it might also be the truth. We should first investigate to see what forces are secretly watching Huang Family’s prescription."

Returning from planet number 12, Mei Shi, who had sent all members of the Huang Family there, replied: "I stayed a day in the Huang Family, and the family head received several phone calls, all full of threats. Out of boredom, I took the liberty to find out more."

"The major forces openly eyeing the Huang Family are primarily Thunder Company, the Wang Family, the Liu Family, and the Zhou Family. The latter three are families, while Thunder Company is a corporation founded by several powerhouses, employing many expert warriors and boasting significant combined strength. They want the prescription to cultivate more Level 8 martial artists and to profit from it."

Lin Chen’s eyes lit up: "The Wang Family? So they’re everywhere, huh."

Yao Xuanji analyzed: "Since the Wang Family is also eyeing the Huang Family, they naturally want to understand the investigation’s progress. Whether or not this case is Wang Family’s doing, grasping the progress gives them a manipulation space, and if others did it, gaining evidence early would allow them to threaten others to step down."

"It’s too coincidental for all these to fall on Zhang Zhongjiu’s shoulder and for him to get a strict deadline to solve the case. Moreover, during the investigation, he was framed. With so many things coming together, it’s hard to believe they’re all coincidences; surely there’s a hand manipulating everything behind the scenes."

Lin Chen chuckled: "Since the Wang Family is suspicious, let’s dig in a bit. It’s fortunate that we aren’t affiliated with the officials, so we don’t have to worry about the legality of our methods, only that we don’t get caught."

Nalan Wushuang laughed: "With Mei Shi around, it’s a lot easier for us to do everything."

Lin Chen nodded and praised: "Indeed, in a Federation as filled with powerhouses as clouds, where laws cannot be openly touched, Mei Shi has been a great help. Mei Shi, is there anything you want?"

Mei Shi smiled charmingly, with captivating eyes that seemed to speak to Lin Chen.

"Yes."

Lin Chen said with a laugh: "Speak up, whatever you want, I’ll certainly give it to you."

"You."

Lin Chen’s expression froze: "I meant seriously."

Mei Shi seriously responded: "I am being serious. Master, are you going back on your word, or do you disdain me because I’m not of the Human Clan?"

Lin Chen’s face turned awkward: "No, no..."

Mei Shi chuckled softly: "Miss Nalan is also from the Demon Race, after all, demons can do it, why can’t those of the Abyss Clan? Besides, we haven’t..."

"Cough, cough!"

As the trio of women looked with cheerful smiles, Lin Chen awkwardly cleared his throat, interrupting Mei Shi’s words: "Alright, we’ll discuss your reward privately; let’s not talk about it here."

Nalan Wushuang and the others couldn’t help but burst into laughter.

There aren’t many who can best Lin Chen.

Mei Shi is a creation of the Creation God, possessing the ability to devour and evolve, and her comprehension is of the shape-shifting variety. Since following Lin Chen, she absorbed the advantages of all female humans, transforming herself into a perfect woman.

When it comes to looks, even Chu Jiaxue and Nalan Wushuang cannot match Mei Shi’s perfection, and in terms of temperament, Mei Shi embodies charm like her name suggests, truly a rare gem in the human world.

Lin Chen, if not for remembering her previous form as part of the Abyss Clan, composed of crystal structures, would have likely succumbed long ago.

A woman who can offer you anything you want, isn’t she a treasure in this world for men?

Mei Shi finds her greatest joy in seducing Lin Chen, or using merit to coerce Lin Chen into submission. Over time, Lin Chen sometimes resisted, but there were times he failed.

Chu Jiaxue and the others on this matter are all amused, watching the spectacle without concern.

As the three women laughed, Lin Chen felt his face grow warm, quickly steering the conversation back: "Back to serious matters, since the Wang Family is inevitably involved, the Wang Family Head must know best, but dealing with him isn’t easy. Let’s target the Second Young Master Wang instead."

"Since we’re helping, let’s settle all the matters, and while we’re at it, help him solve his rival problem..."
