At the same time, Chen Tian and the others returned to the capital.
They arrived at the Yuan family residence.
Yuan Baoshan and the others, upon seeing Chen Tian and his group again, were filled with questions.
They didn't quite understand why they had returned after having already left.
Why the return!
Despite their many unspoken doubts, they still greeted them with smiles.
Facing the Chen clan members, they could only act this way.
Yuan Baoshan said, "Elder Chen... Elder Chen, welcome, welcome!"
Chen Tian nodded, and he, along with Chen Fang and Chen Xuan, took their seats.
Yuan Baoshan, now with a subservient demeanor, smiled and asked, "Elder Chen, you should have found the person you were looking for by now!"
Chen Tian's expression was unreadable. "We haven't found him!"
Upon hearing this, Yuan Baoshan's old face showed a trace of shock. "Ah, this... how is that possible?"
"Didn't you already find that person named Chen Fan?"
Chen Tian glanced at Yuan Baoshan. "It's possible he's not the person we are looking for!"
Yuan Baoshan was speechless at this point, afraid of saying the wrong thing.
He simply stood there awkwardly.
Then, Chen Tian changed the subject. "Patriarch Yuan, do you know anything?"
Yuan Baoshan replied, "All I know is that Chen Fan possesses terrifying strength and was uncooperative with the investigation. That's why I suspected he was the person the Chen clan was looking for, and so I notified Chen Hong!"
Chen Tian's expression remained unchanged. "Do you know that Chen Hong is already dead!"
Dead?!
Yuan Baoshan's eyes widened instantly. "Mr. Chen... Mr. Chen is powerful, how could he possibly die?"
"This..."
He dared not believe his ears.
Chen Tian said, "He is indeed dead!"
"He died in Lin City!"
Yuan Baoshan stood frozen, looking completely bewildered.
He began to doubt his own life.
That was a Grandmaster, a Grandmaster!
Without the aid of firearms, in this world, they were practically invincible!
"Then... could it be that Chen Fan did it?"
Yuan Baoshan asked cautiously.
Chen Tian shook his head. "Chen Fan's strength is immensely powerful. Chen Hong wouldn't have lasted two moves against him, so it couldn't have been Chen Fan!"
"There must be someone else!"
"We have come to your Yuan family this time to ask you, the Yuan family, to investigate precisely who is the murderer of Chen Hong?"
"Remember, you can spare no expense. If anything happens, the Chen clan will guarantee it!"
Yuan Baoshan nodded understandingly and immediately pledged his loyalty. "You... you can rest assured, I will definitely find out!"
Chen Tian's expression remained stoic, and he said gravely, "Mm-hmm... Also, keep a close watch on that Chen Fan!"
"It would be best if you could also investigate Chen Fan's background!"
Yuan Baoshan pouted helplessly. "We investigated Chen Fan's identity in the Northern Territory before. It was very simple; he came down from Niutou Mountain and went to the Xia family, and has been there since!"
"Niutou Mountain..." Chen Tian muttered to himself, "And then, is that all?"
"No... no more. His identity is very mysterious!" Yuan Baoshan sighed.
Chen Tian acknowledged, "Good, we understand. You continue your investigation!"
"At that time, the Chen clan will assist you!"
"Of course, the Chen clan will also intervene!"
"Yes... yes, we understand..." Yuan Baoshan was still excited, believing it was his great fortune to be able to serve the Chen clan.
Chen Tian casually added, "Also, prepare a villa for us. Don't let any unauthorized people disturb us!"
"Yes!"
And so, the three peak Grandmaster realm experts from the Chen clan temporarily stayed at the Yuan family residence.
Resting, and waiting for an opportunity to act.
Waiting...
