Chapter 368: Chapter 368: Golden Promise (Second Update)
Bang.
Li Qing drove a black Bentley and parked in front of the Xiao family.
After Lin Fei got out of the car, he said to Li Qing, “Wait here for me for half an hour; I’ll come out after treating the puppy.”
Upon receiving a call from Xiao Xiao, he learned that the little dumpling was seriously ill again, and he immediately had Li Qing drive him to the Xiao family.
Li Qing laughed and said, “Brother Fei, you go ahead. I’ll wait as long as it takes.”
Lin Fei nodded and then walked into the Xiao family.
Led by a maid, Lin Fei arrived in front of a pavilion, and the maid said to Lin Fei, “Mr. Lin, the lady is in this building. You may go in.”
Lin Fei nodded.
The maid left.
Lin Fei looked at the pavilion but realized it was not Qinxiang Tower.
He thought to himself: Could it be that Xiao Xiao moved the little dumpling and Xiaobai to raise them here?
He stepped forward and knocked on the pavilion’s door, “Xiao Xiao, Xiao Xiao…”
With a creak, the door opened halfway, revealing Xiao Xiao. Seeing Lin Fei, she was delighted, “Lin Fei, you came. Come in quickly.”
Lin Fei then entered the pavilion, and Xiao Xiao closed the door.
At this moment, Lin Fei noticed there was another person inside.
Du Wenqi!
Sitting on a chair, Du Wenqi sprang up as if seeing a savior and immediately approached Lin Fei, kneeling down with a thud. He began kowtowing and said, “Lin Fei, I offended you before; I deserve to die. But this time, you must save me!”
Lin Fei was completely stunned.
Why was Du Wenqi in Xiao Xiao’s house?
And why did Du Wenqi kneel and beg for help as soon as he saw him? What was going on?
Lin Fei looked at Xiao Xiao and said, “Xiao Xiao, the illness of the little dumpling is a lie, but meeting him is real, right?”
Xiao Xiao said apologetically to Lin Fei, “I’m sorry, Lin Fei, I deceived you.
I rescued him from the school; he said an Easterner was trying to kill him, and he wanted to tell you the truth about the Du family bloodshed that night.”
Lin Fei again looked at Du Wenqi.
Du Wenqi nodded fervently, “Lin Fei, I want to tell you everything; please save me.”
Although Lin Fei was not very interested in why the Du family was murdered, what real truth was behind it.
But, he still asked Du Wenqi, “Why are you looking for me, and why do you want to tell me the truth about that night’s bloodshed?”
Du Wenqi said, “Because, in the entire Huadu, only you can save me, and I can repay you; I have gold worth billions.”
Lin Fei became increasingly curious, “Gold?”
And it was gold worth billions, which was a huge amount.
Du Wenqi nodded, “This is my grandfather’s privately stored gold, worth billions.”
Lin Fei smiled and said, “I fear your grandfather obtained this illicit, shady fortune, right?”
Du Wenqi was shocked. He didn’t expect Lin Fei to know it was illicitly sourced gold. He had no choice but to nod and say, “That’s correct; this gold indeed has an improper origin. Fifty years ago, my grandfather seized this gold from an Eastern merchant on the East Sea.”
Then, Du Wenqi recounted what he had overheard black-clad men and his grandfather, Du Tian, saying outside the Du family villa that night.
Finally, he said to Lin Fei, “Although my grandfather’s gold is improperly sourced, fifty years ago, when Huaxia was still in war, Easterners robbed countless gold from Huaxia; my grandfather seizing gold from Easterners was not entirely unforgivable.
If you are willing to save me, I am willing to give you nine-tenths of this gold, and I will keep one-tenth to revive the Du family.”
Although the gold Du Wenqi mentioned no longer needed to bear legal responsibility, Lin Fei was not moved by the gold.
However, as a Huaxia person, Lin Fei could not tolerate Easterners disregarding Huaxia laws and freely committing murder in Huadu.
Lin Fei said to Du Wenqi, “Du Wenqi, I am not interested in your gold, but I can help you. I know the police department’s Director Chen; I believe she is also looking for you. I will take you to see her, and she will certainly find a place absolutely safe to protect you.”
Du Wenqi did not expect Lin Fei to refuse the gold. Although he feared the Easterner who killed his grandfather extremely, Lin Fei’s mention of Director Chen’s ability to take him to a place of absolute safety made him feel grounded.
“Lin Fei, if the police can protect me and bring the Easterner who killed my grandfather and father to justice, I am willing to give nine-tenths of grandfather’s gold to you.” Du Wenqi reasserted his previous promise.
Lin Fei said, “We’ll discuss it later; I’ll first take you to the police department.”
“Okay, I trust you.” Although Du Wenqi and Lin Fei were not relatives, they were even adversaries before, yet he trusted him.
Because he knew Lin Fei was not a petty person.
“My car is outside,” Lin Fei said.
Du Wenqi took a baseball cap out of his pocket, put it on his head, pulled the brim low, donned sunglasses, and glued on a fake mustache.
These props were all bought by Sun Hao for him while he hid at school.
Then, Du Wenqi followed Lin Fei out of the pavilion.
Five minutes later, Li Qing drove Lin Fei and Du Wenqi away from the Xiao family, heading to the police department.
Near the Xiao family gate, several cars immediately followed.
Upon reaching the police department entrance, several cars stopped.
Inside one of the cars, a man in a suit and tie took out a phone to dial.
“How is it, have you caught the person?” A cold voice came from the phone.
“Young master, Du Wenqi sought Lin Fei; their car entered the police department.” The man in a suit immediately reported.
“Heh heh, that Du Wenqi is indeed cunning, tonight you all plan well to snatch Du Wenqi from the department.”
“Yes, young master.”
Half an hour later, Lin Fei walked out of the police department building, accompanied by Chen Xinyi.
“Chen Xinyi, I have already helped you as much as I can. Tonight, it’s up to you all; solve this case, and your position should rise from division level to deputy hall level, right?” Lin Fei said to Chen Xinyi.
Chen Xinyi smiled and said, “It’s also thanks to you. Tonight, wait for my good news!”
Lin Fei nodded and then got into the Bentley in the police department courtyard, and Li Qing drove away.
On the way back, Li Qing said to Lin Fei, “I really didn’t expect this Du Wenqi to ask Brother Fei for help. But it makes sense; currently, in Huadu City, who has the most martial skill? Only you. I suppose he’s wise.”
Then Li Qing added, “By the way, Brother Fei, earlier on the way here, I noticed several cars followed us from the Xiao family to outside the police department.”
Lin Fei calmly replied, “They were sent by the Du family’s enemies, and tonight they will certainly take action; we just wait to see tomorrow’s headline news.”
Li Qing appeared excited and curious, “What big news?”
“You’ll find out tomorrow.” Lin Fei said mysteriously.
