Chang Shaoliang said dismissively, "What's the big deal? People like them always act this way. Of course, they can't appear too friendly with certain individuals, lest it lead to gossip."
Yang Siqing replied, "Young Master Chang, but it seems that woman is the one in charge."
Chang Shaoliang, initially displeased at being questioned, felt his mood lift at Yang Siqing's sweet voice.
He patiently explained, "She's just a woman. Do you really think she's some big shot? In this situation, it's simply because Brother Fei finds it inconvenient to act himself, so he asked someone to do it on his behalf. After all, he's of high position and power, lonely at the top."
Yang Ding Tian and Yang Siqing finally relaxed.
Especially Yang Ding Tian, who walked straight up to Chen Jie and said, "Did you hear that? Yun Feiyu is one of us. If we let him take you, you're doomed! I advise you to agree to our terms!"
Chen Jie sneered, "Is that so? Is that your backing?"
"Young Master Chang, did you hear that? This brat is still being stubborn!" Yang Ding Tian said with a cold laugh to Chang Shaoliang.
Chang Shaoliang also sneered repeatedly, "An ignorant piece of trash. I'll let you see my connections now!"
"Then you'd better be quick. My patience is limited!" Chen Jie said indifferently.
"Heh heh, fine. You said it yourself. If you had just cooperated, I might have spared your life. Now, you have no chance!"
Without another word, Chang Shaoliang approached Yun Feiyang and urged, "Brother Fei, what are you doing? The evidence is all here. Hurry up and apprehend him!"
Lin Shuang said, "Excuse me, we are investigating the victim's condition. Please step aside and don't obstruct our work."
Chang Shaoliang was expecting them to handle Chen Jie, wanting to impress Yang Siqing. Upon hearing this, he impatiently retorted, "Who the hell are you? I'm talking to Brother Fei, what business is it of yours?"
Lin Shuang frowned and said, "Yun Feiyang, tell him who I am."
Yun Feiyang immediately rebuked Chang Shaoliang, "Shut up! Team Leader Lin is my superior! We have our own procedures for handling cases. Don't interrupt."
"What?"
Chang Shaoliang's eyes widened in disbelief. He never imagined that Lin Shuang, a woman, was Yun Feiyang's superior.
But he quickly asked, "Then why aren't you apprehending him? Weren't you here to help me capture Chen Jie?"
"Help you capture someone? You're overthinking it! We need to thoroughly investigate everything before proceeding!" Yun Feiyang said, taking the initiative this time.
Chang Shaoliang's heart skipped a beat, and he instinctively asked, "Investigate what? Isn't it obvious what happened?"
"Obvious? If we handled cases solely based on what we see and hear, we would have made countless wrongful arrests. If Chen Jie did this, we will certainly take him away. But if it was someone else, we will not let them off either," Lin Shuang stated calmly.
Hearing this, Chang Shaoliang's face turned pale.
Several subordinates examining the body approached Lin Shuang and whispered a few words to her.
Then Lin Shuang asked the crowd, "Besides Chen Jie attacking a few people, did anyone else approach the deceased?"
Everyone exchanged glances, sensing something was amiss.
Yang Siqing said, "No! Apart from Chen Jie, no one else attacked the deceased."
"I'm not asking who attacked the deceased, but who approached him!" Lin Shuang frowned.
Yang Ding Tian said awkwardly, "Well, let's forget about it. We won't pursue this matter with Chen Jie. You gentlemen should leave. What do you think, Young Master Chang?"
Chang Shaoliang also repeatedly agreed, "Right! We'll handle this ourselves."
Lin Shuang said calmly, "We've just detected the cause of death on the victim. It was not due to a heavy blow. We suspect poisoning."
"Based on your descriptions just now, although Chen Jie is a martial artist, these ordinary people attacked first, and he did nothing wrong. Furthermore, the parts he kicked only caused bruises, which proves Chen Jie is innocent!"
Lin Shuang looked at Chen Jie and asked, "Chen Jie, did you see anyone approach the deceased?"
"Chen Jie!" Yang Siqing suddenly shrieked.
Chen Jie gave her a cold glance and pointed at Yang Ding Tian and Chang Shaoliang, saying, "It was these two!"
Lin Shuang waved her hand and ordered her subordinates, "Handcuff them."
"Ah? Did you make a mistake? How could we attack our own people? No!" Chang Shaoliang cried out in alarm.
"Everything is based on evidence. We will test for poison and fingerprints. If it has nothing to do with you, we naturally won't wrongly accuse you!" Lin Shuang said.
Yang Ding Tian swayed, almost falling.
"What happens if the real culprit is found?" Yang Ding Tian mumbled.
Lin Shuang replied, "That will depend on the situation! Our Dragon Group will definitely punish the real culprit!"
Chang Shaoliang and Yang Ding Tian looked as if they had lost their souls.
They had initially thought their presence was just a formality, and Chen Jie would be taken away immediately.
Now, both Chang Shaoliang and Yang Ding Tian were going to be taken away.
It was certain that one of them was the true perpetrator who had poisoned these subordinates.
Moreover, with Yang Ding Tian being taken away, this was no small matter in the Yang family, as some of the Yang family's servants would surely be disheartened.
"Chen Jie, come with me for a moment. I have some questions for you," Lin Shuang said to Chen Jie.
Chen Jie nodded.
Soon after, he followed the Dragon Group members outside the Yang family residence.
Yang Ding Tian had already been placed in a car.
As for Chang Shaoliang, he remained outside, waiting to be taken into another vehicle.
"Chen Jie, how was our sincerity?" Lin Shuang asked Chen Jie with a smile.
Chang Shaoliang's entire body trembled, and he looked at Chen Jie in disbelief.
Judging by Lin Shuang's tone, did she know Chen Jie?
"What sincerity?" Chen Jie asked with a frown.
"Heh heh, if I weren't here today, you would have been framed. If you join our Dragon Group, such incidents will never happen again!" Lin Shuang said with a smile.
What?
Chang Shaoliang's eyes widened.
Chen Jie was actually being recruited by the Dragon Group.
He felt his mind struggling to keep up.
At this moment, Chen Jie glanced at Chang Shaoliang, "Aren't you afraid he'll hear you saying this?"
Lin Shuang replied, "No need to worry. This Chang Shaoliang is just a contact we have in the mortal world. He knows some of our affairs."
Chen Jie thought to himself that it was no wonder Chang Shaoliang was so arrogant; he had this connection with the Dragon Group.
Chang Shaoliang, on the other hand, looked at Chen Jie in horror.
He was filled with regret.
He wasn't a significant figure in the first place. He was simply noticed by the Dragon Group and asked to do some tasks for them, in return for which the Dragon Group would provide him with some convenience.
Even so, this allowed him to navigate various circles with ease.
But today, he had offended the Chen Jie that the Dragon Group was trying to recruit. His status was bound to disappear.
