Guo Qing'an said, "Go ahead, what do you want me to do?"
Ling Zhenfei said, "I want to kill them all. Can you guarantee that I'll be fine?"
Guo Qing'an said, "I can guarantee you'll die faster. Do you think you can go around killing people just like that? If you want to die sooner, just say so directly."
Hearing Guo Qing'an get angry, Ling Zhenfei quickly said, "I was just joking with you. I'm not in a position to investigate myself right now. I want you to send some people to investigate for me."
Guo Qing'an chuckled and said, "Weren't you always so sure of yourself? Why are you chickening out this time?"
Ling Zhenfei said, "I can't afford to be reckless. The enemy's plan is too intricate. I can't let my guard down."
Guo Qing'an said, "Alright, I understand. Phoenix and Tiger are already on their way. You should be able to meet them by tomorrow."
Ling Zhenfei said, "Really? That's great. Phoenix is coming too, then everything is good."
Guo Qing'an said, "Kid, I'm warning you, don't get any ideas about Phoenix. You already have enough women around you."
Ling Zhenfei said, "If it's mutual affection, how can you meddle? Anyway, I'm hanging up."
"Kid, you'll end up dying over a woman sooner or later."
Ling Zhenfei didn't listen to Guo Qing'an anymore and hung up the phone.
Learning that Phoenix was coming, Ling Zhenfei was quite happy. Ling Zhenfei had a good relationship with Phoenix, and Phoenix was quite capable as well. Investigating this matter shouldn't be a problem.
But now that they were coming, he felt he should do something as well, and Ling Zhenfei didn't think this matter was threatening. Where he wanted to go was Song Jiahui's house.
Earlier at the police station, Ling Zhenfei had already memorized Song Jiahui's information.
According to Ling Zhenfei's thoughts, since Song Jiaqi and Song Jiahui looked so alike, they must be twins. So since Song Jiahui lived there, Song Jiaqi must also live there.
So Ling Zhenfei took a cab to that address.
The information on Song Jiahui's ID was in a not-so-large neighborhood in the downtown area. Ling Zhenfei took a cab directly to a place not far from the neighborhood, then got out of the car.
At this time, Ling Zhenfei already released his Divine Sense, just in case there was someone around that he couldn't detect. He disrupted all electronic devices he passed with his Divine Sense.
After crossing the neighborhood's wall, Ling Zhenfei easily made his way inside, found the building number, and arrived at the first-floor unit of Building 7.
Although this neighborhood wasn't very large, it seemed very upscale, with a few sixteen-story buildings and some four-story villas.
Song Jiahui's building 7 was such a four-story villa, and their home was on the first floor.
The first floor was a very coveted level, especially in such a high-end community. The greenery inside was excellent, with their own small garden on the first floor, filled with flowers and trees.
By this time, it was already the early hours of the morning, but there was still some faint light coming from the first floor.
Ling Zhenfei was very curious because all the lights in the area had already been turned off by now, yet this faint light made him very curious.
Ling Zhenfei remembered Chen Qian's words and didn't act impulsively. Normally, he would use Divine Sense to scout, but today he was extra cautious and didn't use Divine Sense. Instead, he used Soul Scouting from his Soul Passage technique.
His body remained where it was, while his soul entered the room with the two people inside.
The soul and Divine Sense have similarities, but ordinary people can't perform Soul Out of Body techniques well, yet Ling Zhenfei's cultivation of Soul Passage made it possible.
The advantage of the soul over Divine Sense is that it is harder to detect. While most Spiritual Cultivators can use Divine Sense, it has the downside of being easily discovered.
As long as the cultivators' powers aren't vastly different, they can detect a Divine Sense scan. So this time, taking Chen Qian's advice, Ling Zhenfei was very cautious and didn't use Divine Sense but instead used a Soul Out of Body method to scout.
Ling Zhenfei's consciousness followed his soul softly into the room. The light was coming from the middle of the hall, where there were quite a few people, all hefty big men, holding something in their hands.
What shocked Ling Zhenfei the most was that inside the room, there were three people tied up: a middle-aged couple and a girl.
Shockingly, the girl looked exactly like Song Jiaqi and Song Jiahui. Ling Zhenfei was momentarily stunned, not understanding what this meant or why these people would tie her up.
Why would they tie up these three people? Ling Zhenfei was astonished and looked more closely. One of the people inside made Ling Zhenfei jump in shock; it was their past adversary, Number One.
Number One was quite powerful. This time, he was sitting cross-legged, seemingly in cultivation.
These people made Ling Zhenfei even more curious about what they were doing.
Just then, he heard one of them say to the three people, "Did you understand what I just said?"
The girl nodded and said, "I'm doing what you asked. What more do you want?"
The person said, "Song Jiahui, do you know that Ling Zhenfei has been released from the police station?"
The girl tied up was actually Song Jiaqi. Now Ling Zhenfei couldn't even tell who was Song Jiaqi and who was Song Jiahui, or maybe they were both the same person.
Song Jiahui said, "What's that got to do with me? Haven't I already said everything I was supposed to?"
The person said, "You silly girl, you were lying when you said those things, weren't you? Who do you think Ling Zhenfei is? A killer without a second thought. By lying, you brought trouble on him, and he will certainly come looking for trouble with you."
Song Jiahui shouted in fear, "Then why are you holding us? I was the one lying for you!"
The person sneered, "Now that you've put it that way, let me make it clear. Someone wants Ling Zhenfei to never rise again. And how do we stop that from happening? It's simple: make sure he can't get out."
"What do you mean?" Song Jiahui asked.
The person said, "I mean, put Ling Zhenfei behind bars for good. Ideally, give him a life sentence so he can't get out."
Song Jiahui said, "And what if he doesn't kill anyone?"
The person laughed, "That's hitting the nail on the head. If he doesn't kill, we'll do it for him. Guess who we plan on having him kill?"
Song Jiahui asked in horror, "It wouldn't be us, would it?"
The person laughed, "You're very smart. Exactly, we're going to kill you and fabricate it to look like Ling Zhenfei did it. Don't worry, there will be plenty of eyewitnesses to say that Ling Zhenfei killed you.
By then, he won't be able to clear his name even if he jumps into the Yellow River. Now, don't you think that's quite a good plan?"
"You're despicable, utterly shameless." Song Jiahui screamed hysterically.
The person laughed and said, "Scream all you want; just know this is your last scream." With that, the person raised the knife in their hand.
Ling Zhenfei was startled. If what the person said was true, then Ling Zhenfei really wouldn't be able to clear his name. So he couldn't let them die.
