"What exactly happened?"
Lin Shuai Nan, unusually serious, asked Chen Jiao with a somber expression.
Chen Jiao was sobbing uncontrollably, and Xiu Xiu picked her up.
Supporting Chen Jiao, Xiu Xiu glared at Lin Shuai Nan, "Alright, no more questions. Hurry up and help arrange things here. The mourning hall still needs to be set up. We can't let Old Man Chen rest in peace!"
As she spoke, Xiu Xiu turned to look at Old Man Chen's portrait and couldn't help but shed tears.
The people around were all overcome with grief.
However, they were also quite astonished by Ling Feng's return!
After all, Ling Feng had been absent for far too long, and many had even spread rumors that he was dead!
Some had speculated that Ling Feng might have been devoured by monsters outside during the monster outbreak years ago.
Now, with the world in such turmoil, the reappearance of someone many believed to be dead was naturally quite shocking!
"Alas, this whole thing is because of you!"
Someone suddenly pointed at Ling Feng and said this.
Instantly, the surroundings erupted in discussion.
Ling Feng's expression turned extremely cold. How had this matter suddenly been blamed on him?
Before Ling Feng could even clearly hear the murmuring voices, Chen Jiao had somewhat regained her composure and quickly told everyone to be quiet!
"Mr. Ling, and everyone else, thank you for coming to see my grandfather! I'm so sorry, I didn't take good care of him. It's all my fault, I'm unfilial..."
As Chen Jiao spoke, she began to weep profusely again.
Master Niu, standing nearby, sighed and glanced at Ling Feng and Lin Si Qi and the others behind him.
Master Niu was not as crude and brainless as he appeared on the surface. He was aware that Ling Feng and his companions were not ordinary people.
After all, the reputation of Tian Ci Pharmaceutical Industry had become too great. The pharmaceutical factory next door had hung its name three years ago.
Although this place didn't seem very large, and Lin Si Qi and the others had remained here, seemingly without moving, and there seemed to be no connection to the Tian Ci Pharmaceutical Industry headquarters in the heart of Jingdu City.
However, Master Niu, being one of the first to know about the establishment of Tian Ci Pharmaceutical Industry's factory, could naturally infer some things.
Knowing that Ling Feng and his group were not simple, he thought that perhaps this matter could be of help.
Immediately, Master Niu sighed and said to Ling Feng in a low voice, "This is just my guess, but judging from Zhang De Lai's demeanor just now... it seems that Chen Jiao, this girl, was violated by that beast. Chen Jiao never said anything about it. The night before last, I heard Old Man Chen's angry movements in the middle of the night, and then he died within two days. I think it was because the old man found out his granddaughter had been violated, and that's why... Alas, Old Man Chen's death is definitely related to that Zhang De Lai!"
At this point, Master Niu sighed profusely, truly unable to continue.
His eyes were bloodshot and red as he looked at Chen Jiao, his gaze filled with pity.
Many people around fell silent. Chen Jiao had truly grown up before their eyes, and to suffer such a fate now was incredibly heartbreaking.
Lin Si Qi and the others nearby, upon hearing this, covered their mouths, looking at Chen Jiao in shock.
They no longer knew how to comfort Chen Jiao.
Ling Feng's expression had turned as cold as ice, his eyes filled with a nascent killing intent.
Lin Shuai Nan, on the other hand, directly cursed, "Bastard, I'll go kill him right now!"
Saying that, Lin Shuai Nan rushed out directly, and even Xiu Xiu couldn't stop him!
"Ling Feng, you, you hurry and follow him, don't let Shuai Nan get into trouble!"
Lin Si Qi, seeing this, quickly urged Ling Feng.
Ling Feng looked at the weeping Chen Jiao before him, took a deep breath, and asked in a deep voice, "Jiao Jiao, tell me everything clearly!"
Upon hearing this, many people glared angrily at Ling Feng.
At a time like this, he was still pressing Chen Jiao for details. If Chen Jiao had been willing to speak, she would have already done so. Did she need him to ask?
He was rubbing salt into her wounds!
Chen Jiao bit her lower lip, managed to stop her cries, and nodded at Ling Feng, saying, "Yes, Master Niu and the others are right. I was violated by that beast. He poisoned me, and my husband Wang Yuan doesn't even know about it... Zhang De Lai told my grandfather about this. He also took photos of me and threatened my grandfather. If he didn't hand over this street for redevelopment, he would publicize it. My grandfather couldn't stand it, so he went to reason with them. As a result, this morning, I saw my grandfather's body at the door..."
The truth of everything surfaced.
There was no trace of excitement on the faces of the crowd. This matter, having happened to Chen Jiao, felt as if it had happened to their own family members. Every word, every tremor in her voice, made them ache with pain!
Ling Feng's eyes were filled with chilling killing intent.
Ling Feng knew clearly that this matter could have been avoided, but now...
It was a consequence he had left behind years ago. In that sense, Old Man Chen's death was indeed related to him!
"Shuai Nan mentioned that they came here to collect rent before. Were these people already causing trouble then?"
Ling Feng continued to press.
He was unwilling to accept this!
Chen Jiao nodded, "Yes, I also advised Grandpa to tell Brother Lin about this matter, but Grandpa just didn't say anything. And everyone was being harassed by that Zhang De Lai to the point where they couldn't do business. They couldn't even pay three months' rent, so Grandpa advanced the rent for everyone. Who knew that after only three months, he would..."
Seeing that Chen Jiao could no longer finish her words, Ling Feng turned and left without a word!
Ji Yun Yue was about to follow, but Ling Feng coldly said, "You all set up the mourning hall here. I'm going to save someone!"
"Save someone?"
Lin Si Qi and the others were slightly puzzled by this.
But when they saw Ling Feng go out and speak to Yang Fei, and Yang Fei started making phone calls, they knew what he was about to do!
Xiu Xiu immediately comforted Chen Jiao, "Jiao Jiao, don't worry! If Ling Feng steps in, Wang Yuan will be released soon. Don't worry, even if Wang Yuan finds out about this, he won't change his feelings for you."
Chen Jiao's previous reluctance to tell her husband about this matter was clearly due to such concerns.
But now, Chen Jiao no longer cared about these things. She repeatedly shook her head at Xiu Xiu, "I don't care anymore. As long as Wang Yuan can be released and live well, that's enough. I've already lost my grandfather, and I have nothing else to lose!"
These words were heartbreaking to the extreme!
Tang Ru gritted her teeth and said in a deep voice, "Jiao Jiao, don't worry, we will definitely get justice for you!"
At this moment, all eyes were fixed on Ling Feng's retreating back as he left with Yang Fei.
They all knew that Ling Feng had generously bought this place years ago, and his status and position were naturally beyond that of ordinary people!
This filled them with anticipation!
