Chapter 138 Finding the Culprit

“Hmph. How do you know that the culprit is definitely among us?” At this point, Bei Qingyun laughed coldly and said, “My Eldest Brother is not even sure of the number of people he has hurt over the years. Now that you are looking at this matter in such a one-sided fashion, it is hard for us to believe.”

“A murderer always has a goal behind his murder. Sister Xue in the Bei Family has never hurt anyone. Therefore, this reason must be on the family head. If attacking him is not for his power, then it is for his money. As for the Bei Family, there is someone present who would directly benefit from doing this kind of thing. I’m sure everyone knows who this person might be.” Wang Feng spoke, causing Bei Qingyun’s face to change drastically.

“Do not insinuate anything here.” Bei Qingyun said. He was very scared by Wang Feng’s words.

This was a big shithole. If it was really true, he would not be able to clean his name even if he jumped into the Yellow River.

Don’t say that he didn’t do such a thing. Even if he did do it, he would never admit it.

At this point, he started regretting opposing Eldest Brother. When Bei Yunxue was almost assassinated, he had been the target of suspicion for many people. But without any evidence, the matter was slowly let go.

However, it was without a doubt that if Eldest Brother were to abdicate, then the most likely ascendent would be him. Ultimately, he was the one who had really competed with Bei Qingtian. He was also the man with the most ambition.

“Why are you so agitated? I didn’t say it was you. Unless you really committed such an act?” Seeing such a huge reaction from Bei Qingyun, Wang Feng smiled faintly. Bei Qingyun was jumpy under his gaze.

This guy really can’t be seen through. At that point, he could not tell at all what the person was thinking.

“The security around Ming Yue Manor is so tight. Even if a killer wanted to mix in, it would be extremely difficult. Moreover, think about this: If an outsider really wanted to kill the family head, he would have committed it outside. Why would he commit the murder in Ming Yue Manor? Therefore, there is only one conclusion. The killer had been brought in by an insider and had not undergone any official examinations.”

“Plus, I also know that when Sister Xue was almost assassinated, the killer was not found. Therefore, based on my guesses, that killer must have been hidden by one of you here and was hence not found. Are my words reasonable?”

After Wang Feng’s reasoning, the people present were nodding for real. Although Wang Feng’s words were only a guess, it sounded extremely reasonable. Ming Yue Manor’s security forces were all the elites from the department. Having one person fight 10 other people was not a big problem. Plus, there was surveillance all around. For someone else to mix in was an extremely difficult feat.

If he could not secretly creep in, then he had to be brought in openly without any checks.

This was an extremely big gap. No one had noticed this that year.

“There is someone here who wants to topple the family head and then gain some personal interest. Even if it was really committed by an outsider, that only means that there is a betrayer among you who has been colluding with the people outside in order to get some unspeakable purpose.” Wang Feng spoke and everyone starting becoming agitated.

Wang Feng’s words made everyone feel like it was precarious. They all felt jumpy in their hearts.

“President Bei, may I ask, when Sister Xue was almost assassinated, what were you doing?” At this point, Wang Feng cast his gaze on Bei Qingyun. It was as if he was interrogating a criminal.

Even though Bei Qingyun at that moment really wanted to kill Wang Feng, but he suppressed that urge and explained, “When Xiaoxue was harmed, I was with my father at all times. I did not leave even a step away.”

He had to explain this matter. If he did not offer any explanation, then he would be framed as the culprit. He did not want to be part of this shithole.

“I can attest to that. When that incident happened that year, he was indeed with me. When Xiaoxue was almost assassinated, he was always within my field of vision.” At this point, Bei Qingtian’s father spoke with a plain face.

“Yes?” Having heard the two people’s words, Wang Feng was a bit confused. When he was looking through the resources He Tian provided, the most likely culprit was Bei Qingyun. He had a very clean background and he was also the person who would stand to gain the most from this situation.

But now, it seemed like he had messed up. Perhaps it was not what he thought at the core.

If Bei Qingtian could not be killed, then killing Sister Xue would unsettle Bei Qingtian and therefore he would give up his family head position. Regardless of the perspective taken, Bei Qingyun was the biggest suspect.

The entire Bei Enterprise’s life lay within him and Bei Qingtian. If Bei Qingtian gave up his position, he at least had a 90% chance of getting the position. How could it not be him?

All reasoning pointed to him. There was just no evidence.

“Although I have always been unhappy about my Eldest Brother being the family head of the Bei Enterprise, but I have never had the intention of harming him. If I really wanted to be the family head, I would use a just way of attacking him and then smoothfully take over the position. I don’t belong to the people who use killing as a means to get what they want.” Bei Qingyun spoke as if he was a virtuous saint.

“I also believe it was not committed by him.” At this point, Bei Qingtian also spoke. He had helped Bei Qingyun wash away the blame in a rare gesture.

“Why not?” Wang Feng asked.

“You and I are all the same person. Therefore, no matter how concealed the murderous intent is, we will all have been able to detect it. Although this man has always been opposing me, but I still believe he would not do such a thing to harm me.” Bei Qingtian explained. This shocked Wang Feng.

Even Bei Qingtian confirmed that Bei Qingyun was not the culprit. Then who could it be?

Bei Qingtian’s words were right. After practising, his sixth sense was far stronger than any average man. He would be able to sense a murdeorus intent from far away. If a man had a temporary murderous intent, it would show if they have known each other for a long time.

It was just like when Sister Xue met that crazy killer the night before. He had felt that man’s gaze but he just did not intentionally chase after him.

At this point, Wang Feng felt it a little difficult. He initially wanted to find the culprit and avenge Sister Xue. But now, it seemed like the most likely suspect was not worthy any suspicions anymore. How could he further investigate?

“Wang Feng, forget it. The matter has passed for so many years. Aren’t I good now?” At this point, Bei Yunxue also spoke and interlaced her hands with his.

“You may forget it, but I can’t.” Having heard Sister Xue’s words, Wang Feng shook his head and said, “You are my woman. You have once been the target of a murder. I must of course help you find the culprit. If not, who know when that crazy killer will strike you again? I must get to the bottom of this today.”

Wang Feng opened his mouth and spoke with a steely spirit. No one could stop him.

“You…” Having heard Wang Feng’s words, Bei Yunxue’s heart was extremely touched. She held his hand even tighter. For her, to meet a man that cared so much about her, was there anymore that she could ask for?

“Oh yes, Sister Xue, when you were almost assassinated, did you see carefully what the other party looked like? Or did he say anything to you?” At this point, Wang Feng asked Bei Yunxue suspiciously.

Bei Yunxue was the target of the assassination. If she had seen that man’s appearance, that case would have been easy to solve. With the Bei Enterprise’s power, it was extremely easy to seek out any man.

“No.” With a heavy sigh, Bei Yunxue shook her head and said, “At that time, I was still sound asleep. When I woke up from shock of the assassination, I saw someone jump out from the window. I have no idea what he looks like.”

“Then did he say anything?” Wang Feng followed.

“I don’t think so.” Bei Yunxue answered unsurely.

“Is it because you heard something?” Seeing Sister Xue’s tone of voice, Wang Feng knew that the man must have said something.

“That I’m not sure. It’s because I was still half awake when I heard him say a sentence.” Bei Yunxue seemed a little nervous.

“Don’t worry. With me around, no one will dare to hurt you.” Wang Feng held Sister Xue’s hands tightly and said seriously.

“Mmm.” Bei Yunxue nodded her head and then said, “At that time, I was already sound asleep. However, I heard him say something like I was born into the wrong family. And then he said something like what a waste of such great beauty. It has been too long, I can’t remember exactly. I also can’t say for sure if I really heard something like that.” Bei Yunxue shook her head and seemed like she didn’t really want to recall that incident.

“Alright. I understand.” Without prying her, Wang Feng cast his gaze on the crowd and said, “The truth is extremely clear. The plan must have been executed by one of you here. Own up honestly. If I find out who it is, I promise the culprit will wish he was dead instead.”

Wang Feng’s voice was extremely cold. The people present also started to shift around uneasily.

However, no one owned up. With Wang Feng’s tone, if the murderer really stood out, then he would surely be dead.

Even if Wang Feng did not kill him, would Bei Qingtian let him go?

“Sister, did you forget anything? Think clearly. Since brother-in-law now wants you to take charge, then we must catch this culprit and punish him severely.” At this point, a man spoke. He was Bei Ziming.

“I really can’t remember.” Bei Yunxue shook her head with a pained expression.

“Huh, this man?” Seeing this Bei Ziming, Wang Feng’s gaze shimmered. It was because at that moment, he sensed that Bei Ziming’s heart was thumping irregularly. He was not as calm as he looked.

At the same time, Wang Feng used his X-ray vision to see that even though others’ hearts were also thumping irregularly, but they were not as obvious as Bei Ziming’s.

This man definitely had some problems!

If it was not for the fact that he suddenly spoke, Wang Feng would not have noticed him. His words seemed to portray that he was Sister Xue’s younger brother.

At this point, Wang Feng suddenly realized he ignored something extremely important. If Bei Qingtian died, the man who benefited the most might be Bei Qingyun. However, if Sister Xue died, then it was Bei Ziming that could benefit the most.

Ultimately, without Sister Xue, he would be able to inherit all of his father’s wealth and then take his position.

At this point, Wang Feng had a sudden sense. If he did not guess wrongly, Sister Xue’s younger brother must have been involved in this incident. In fact…

Wang Feng’s gaze shimmered. He looked to Bei Ziming and said slowly, “Did you plan that assassination?”

Wang Feng voice’s was extremely calm. However, Bei Ziming, who heard these words, clammed up a little. Then, he rapidly regained his composure and replied, “What are you saying? Why do I not understand?”
