Bai Yan's eyes kept moving around as if he was thinking of an excuse. Long Bufan asked tentatively: "Did someone instruct you to do this?"
In Long Bufan's view, one of Bai Yan and him was in the provincial capital and the other in Lincheng. The two of them were on the same page, so there was no need to take action. However, Bai Yan seemed to have spotted him and stared at him. If no one instigated him, he would
Weird.
"Mr. Long, I..."
Bai Yan hesitated for a long time and was speechless. At this moment, there was a sudden roar of an engine outside, and a truck crashed through the wall and drove in.
There was a bang, bricks and stones were flying in the coffee shop, and smoke and dust were everywhere. Long Bufan quickly hid aside with quick eyesight and hands.
The car door opened, and several bodyguards in black got out of the truck. They waved to Bai Yan and said anxiously: "Third Young Master! Hurry up!"
Bai Yan reacted quickly. He quickly jumped into the car, and then the truck roared again and disappeared around the corner.
Long Bufan patted the dust on his body and shook his head helplessly. Unexpectedly, Bai Yan actually had a hand left.
However, he was not at a loss. Not only did he find out the cause of Zhong Hongtian's death, but he also received a compensation of 200 million yuan, which was considered a worthwhile trip.
In addition, although Bai Yan did not say who instigated him to do this, Long Bufan felt that it was probably related to Ren Hua and Jia Fangshan.
Now he can't find any clues about these two people, so even if Bai Yan talks about it, it will be of no use.
Long Bufan didn't intend to continue looking for Bai Yan. He turned around and got into a taxi to meet Su Qiqi and Yuan Zhengyi.
As soon as Yuan Zhengyi saw him, he asked worriedly: "How is Brother Long? The Bai family didn't make things difficult for you, right?"
The Bai family is truly one of the four largest families in the provincial capital. They are top-notch in terms of strength and assets. Even he does not dare to conflict with the Bai family easily.
Long Bufan shook his head and said: "He can run faster than a rabbit, but it doesn't matter, I've already got what I want."
"It seems that I'm too worried. As expected of Brother Long..."
Yuan Zhengyi scratched his hair in embarrassment. Long Bufan was the commander-in-chief of a million-strong army in the Western Region. The Bai family was indeed troublesome in his eyes, but to Long Bufan, the Bai family was nothing to worry about.
Su Qiqi and Long Bufan's affairs have been completed, so everyone seemed relatively relaxed. Yuan Zhengyi brought a glass of wine and said respectfully: "Brother Long, it's hard for you to come to the provincial capital. Since the things are done, please stay for two more days."
, I’ll take you to have a good time.”
"OK."
Long Bufan nodded and agreed. Wu Anxiong's matter has been resolved. Su Hanyue doesn't have to worry. It doesn't matter if he stays for two more days.
A few people chatted while eating, and by the time they returned to the hotel, it was already twelve o'clock in the evening.
The next day, after washing up, Long Bufan was about to ask Su Qiqi to have breakfast. Later, Yuan Zhengyi was coming to pick them up, saying they were going to visit his Xigang Group.
But when he was about to go out, he received a call from Mengshi. Mengshi said in a deep voice: "Long Shuai, there is news about Liu Chaoyang."
"Is there any news?"
Long Bufan quickly asked: "Where is he?"
"He is in Lincheng, I have found him..."
The fierce lion paused and hesitated, "But something happened to him, Long Shuai, why don't you come back and have a look."
"Okay, I'll be right back!"
Long Bufan put down his phone and knocked on Su Qiqi's door.
"Qiqi, I have something to do and I have to go back to Lincheng quickly. You can clean it up quickly."
"Oh ok."
Su Qiqi didn't have any objections. She packed her luggage and left the hotel with Long Bufan.
Arriving at the door of the hotel, Yuan Zhengyi had just parked his car. He waved to Long Bufan and said with a smile: "Brother Long, I have made arrangements for my Xigang Group, and I am just waiting for you to come over."
"Yuan Zhengyi..."
Long Bufan said apologetically: "Something suddenly happened over there in Lincheng. I have to go back and take a look."
Yuan Zhengyi was stunned for a moment before nodding regretfully and said: "Okay, there will be opportunities in the future anyway, so there is no rush."
"Mr. Long, let me take you to the airport."
"Thank you then."
Long Bufan and Su Qiqi got in the car and drove towards the airport.
Two hours later, Long Bufan returned to Lincheng. Su Qiqi left as soon as she got off the plane because she had to go back to the company to report the situation. Long Bufan went to a hospital according to the address sent by Mengshi.
The fierce lion was sitting at the door of the hospital. When he saw Long Bufan, he immediately came up to him and said, "Long Shuai, you are back."
"Um."
Long Bufan asked as he walked towards the hospital: "Where is Liu Chaoyang? Is he injured?"
"he……"
The lion sighed and said, "He is already dead."
"What?"
Long Bufan stopped and looked at the lion and asked in surprise: "Dead?"
"Um."
Mengshi frowned and said, "Someone suddenly contacted me this morning and sent an address. When I arrived, I saw Liu Chaoyang lying there covered in blood."
"Liu Chaoyang had just died when I went there. If I could have arrived earlier, maybe there would be a better chance..."
The fierce lion also knows that Liu Chaoyang is very important to them. Now that he is dead, the truth of many things may never be found out.
He shook his head and continued: "I guess the person who contacted me was Liu Chaoyang. He probably knew that someone was going to kill him, so he wanted to ask me for help, but I came late."
"His body is inside. Commander Long, please go in and have a look."
Long Bufan frowned. He was still hoping to get some clues from Liu Chaoyang, but he didn't expect that the other party was already dead.
The two came to a ward, and Mengshi lifted up the white cloth on the bed, and Liu Chaoyang's body lay quietly on the bed.
Long Bufan asked while checking Liu Chaoyang's injuries: "Where is the murderer? Has he been found?"
"No."
The fierce lion shook his head, "Liu Chaoyang was the only one when I arrived. He was not dead at the time. He pulled me to say something, but he died before he could say anything."
The fierce lion told everything about the situation at that time, and the more Long Bufan listened, the more he felt something was wrong.
Liu Chaoyang is the captain of King Xiaoyao's guard. He is top notch in terms of skill and strength, almost as good as a lion. There are really not many people who can kill Liu Chaoyang.
Long Bufan took a closer look at Liu Chaoyang's body. Apart from some inconsequential bruises, there was only a fatal wound on his heart.
It looked like a dagger had penetrated directly through the heart.
Long Bufan's heart suddenly tightened. This was not the first time he had seen this kind of killing method.
King Xiaoyao died in the same way that day, and the man who rescued Ren Hua from him also used similar methods.
It's just that the person who killed King Xiaoyao was obviously older and stronger. Liu Chaoyang was probably killed by one of them.
"What's this?"
The fierce lion suddenly pointed at Liu Chaoyang's hand. Long Bufan lowered his head and saw that Liu Chaoyang was holding a jade pendant in his hand. Judging from the joint of the rope, it was obvious that it was broken directly.
