Inside the living room of the Xi family’s home, Xi Kong Hai was sitting on a sofa. He was an old man with a wrinkled face. He looked like a man who was prepared to die. His eyes were dull like those of a dead man’s.

But, of course, he was still alive. The news today had hit him hard mentally. One could say that it was the hardest thing that he had experienced in his lifetime.

He leaned against the sofa and stared blankly at the ceiling. The news was none other than the killing of Xi Du!

He had been murdered in Xing Zhou city. The condition of his corpse was so bad it was barely recognizable!

The news was hard to take. It was so very different than when Xi Dong had been arrested. Even though he had to spend fifty years in jail, he was at least still alive.

And if they could find a way to make a deal with the nine most influential generals in the Chinese army, it would be possible to get Xi Dong out of his cell before his jail sentence ended.

That was why it was incomparable with the current news!

When he’d first heard it, Xi Kong Hai had collapsed. His heart had almost stopped beating. He was in luck that the doctor of the Xi family could manage to help him just in time.

Xi Duan was sitting on the sofa opposite Xi Kong Hai. His facial expression was pained and sad. His face was as white as a sheet. He kept speaking softly to himself. ‘Du Er.. Du Er..’

“Father.. big brother..”

While both Xi Kong Hai and Xi Duan were in motionless misery over what had just happened, they heard a voice.

It was the voice of a middle-aged man. He looked very much like Xi Duan. He was none other than Xi Duan’s brother, the second son of Xi Kong Hai, Xi Dun.

Xi Dun had just walked into the room. He stopped between the sofas Xi Kong Hai and Xi Duan were sitting on.

“So it’s you, Dun.” Xi Kong Hai finally came to his senses. His blank expression turned into one of rage.

“What did you find? Who killed Du Er? Tell me!” The old man’s voice was harsh.

It was obvious that Xi Kong Hai did not plan to let the killer live in peace. Whoever he was had to pay with his life!

“I’ve been doing everything in my power to follow up on the matter and contact the local police officers,” Xi Dun said with his calm voice. He stopped for a second and continued. “But there’s still no clue about the killer.”

Crash!

Right after what Xi Dun said, the wrinkled hand struck the black glass table in front of him. It shattered into pieces. Pieces of glass pierced through the old man’s hand, causing him to bleed.

But Xi Kong Hai did not show any pain on his face.

“Father!” both Xi Dun and Xi Duan screamed out loud.

The old man’s action pulled Xi Duan back to reality. His facial expression suddenly changed when he saw blood on his father’s hand.

“Damn it! How can this be?! Find him fast. We must uncover the person who killed Du Er!”

Xi Kong Hai roared this out loudly. He did not care about his injury. He looked at his second son, Xi Dun, with his rage-filled eyes.

“Dun, contact Gu Ming. Tell him to report the matter to the Jing Cha Secret Organisation. I want them to investigate. I don’t care how much it costs. We must root out the killer!”

“Y..Yes, father!” Xi Dun did not dare to hesitate. He quickly accepted the man’s request.

He knew full well that the Xi family had been facing continuous misfortune.

They were losing their influence. Xi Dong had been charged with drug dealing and sentenced to fifty years. And now Xi Du had been murdered.

He was involved with the first case because he was a member of the Xi family. He would not want his family to go on a decline.

However, he did not care about the second and third cases. Instead of feeling upset over these matters, he was actually happy.

Being born as the second son, he did not have a chance to be the next head of the family, even though he had more potential than Xi Duan, his big brother.

Due to what had happened to Xi Dong and Xi Du, at least his son would be the next leader after Xi Duan for sure.

That thought made him happy.

‘The heavens have given me this opportunity,’ Xi Dun thought before quickly contacting Gu Ming, the police general so that Jing Cha Secret Organisation could go into action.

The Jing Cha Secret Organisation was the police’s secret agency. It was an utmost secret of China!

Even most people in the five big families did not know about it. Only the ones in the inheritance line did.

Rumour had it that all the members of Jing Cha Organisation were monsters. They possessed more strength and abilities than normal human beings, be it in combat or investigations.historical

The harder to find the culprit, the harder the investigation, the more suitable the case was for people in this secret organization.

Success was guaranteed once they went into action!

“The Jing Cha Secret Organisation.” Xi Duan was enraged. “If the organization handles this matter, the killer will be caught very soon for sure!”

“This is the reason why I’ll do everything in my power so that Gu Ming will tell the organization to investigate Du Er’s killing!”

Xi Kong Hai sighed. His anger lessened and was replaced with grief.

He wondered. ‘Why is this happening to me? Why does the Xi family have to experience this during my time...’

The old man shook his head back and forth. The more he thought about it, the more he felt sad and angry.

Xi Duan tightened both of his fists. His eyes sparkled. “Father, please take care of the wound on your hand first. I’ll go visit the Long family.”

He stopped for a moment. His voice turned more serious. “I want their answer. Du Er was killed near Long Xu In’s office building. She’s a daughter of Long Wen Rui, the current head of the Long family. There may be some connection!”

After saying that, Xi Duan’s voice softened.

“Moreover, it was me who told Du Er to pursue Long Xu In. So, I’m also responsible for what happened to him...”

The wrinkled face of the old man tensed up a little. He quickly waved the hand that was not injured.

“Not necessary. Don’t you dare pick a fight with the Long family because we’re not as powerful as we were. We can wait until the Jing Cha organization deals with it.”

“Understood, father. ” Xi Duan seemed disappointed and sighed.
