Mr Gu’s First Doting Marriage
Chapter 1089 - Chapter 1089 Chapter 1091 The Prime Suspect

Chapter 1089: Chapter 1091: The Prime Suspect Chapter 1089: Chapter 1091: The Prime Suspect Phoenix’s face was filled with anger, “How dare you doubt my godfather! Don’t think that just because you have money and power, we wouldn’t dare to touch you.”

Meanwhile, Xiao Zhan and Li Zhiqian also stepped forward simultaneously.

They stood on either side of Gao Wenbin as if they were his guardians, ready to make a move at any moment.

Xi Jiachen said sarcastically, “Look at you all, acting as if it’s all real. Maybe one among you is the mastermind behind this. Isn’t that funny?”

Phoenix was provoked.

Until today, Xi Jiachen had been the first to dare provoke Gao Huizhi.

Phoenix was just about to say something,

but was stopped by Gao Huizhi, “Everyone, step back.”

The study regained its quiet.

Xia Yangyang spoke up from the side, “The origin of this matter starts with Sun Ping. Sun Ping is indeed from the Culture Hall, and we can be sure that there is someone above him. However, currently, there is no concrete proof, and we don’t know who it is.”

Xiao Zhan suddenly spoke.

His voice was deep, “Sun Ping is my man. He might have a fiery temper and many faults, but he has been loyal to me. Though I have been abroad these past few years, I have kept in touch with him. To my knowledge, he does not deal with drugs.”

Xia Yangyang didn’t expect Xiao Zhan to defend Sun Ping.

The police had almost confirmed Sun Ping’s involvement in drug trafficking.

This conclusion was based on clues provided by Sun Dalong’s group.

However, there was an accident the night following Sun Ping’s arrest.

It was indeed ricin toxin.

And indeed, there was someone who had hired a killer.

It’s just unfortunate that the officer who had killed Sun Ping had emigrated, and now his whereabouts were untraceable.

But the police had never doubted Sun Ping’s involvement in drug trafficking.

It was only judged that someone within the Culture Hall engaged in an inside job, killing to seal lips and fearing the exposure.

Now, Xiao Zhan’s sudden defense for Sun Ping seemed utterly bewildering.

Even Phoenix looked uneasy.

Phoenix said, “Ah Zhan, you’ve been abroad and surely don’t understand the situation here. Sun Ping’s guilt has already been established. You can’t defend him.”

When Xiao Zhan defended him, it undeniably seemed like he was attracting suspicion to himself.

And he had absolutely no need to vindicate a thoroughly disgraced dead man.

Yet, Xiao Zhan remained stern, “I’m telling the truth, godfather, this matter is complicated. It’s possible someone wanted to use Sun Ping.”

Phoenix quickly added, “Godfather, someone wants to harm Ah Zhan, just like what happened a few years ago.”

Li Zhiqian remained silent throughout.

Gao Huizhi spoke softly, “Ah Qian, what do you think about this?”

Li Zhiqian said, “My thoughts are the same as Phoenix’s. Maybe someone from the Culture Hall wants to set my brother up.”

Gao Huizhi didn’t respond.

Xia Yangyang was quietly observing everything.

Everything seemed more complicated than expected.

In fact, the main suspects in the drug trafficking case were Xiao Zhan and Li Zhiqian.

Because for such a big operation, only people in power could execute it so smoothly.

While the Culture Hall was managed by Gao Huizhi and a few aging uncles,

those men were, after all, quite old.

Now, the two most powerful people in the Culture Hall were none other than Xiao Zhan and Li Zhiqian.

If one of them turned out to be the inside traitor dealing with drugs,

Xia Yangyang found it unimaginable.

It was simply impossible to determine who it may be.

Of course, Xia Yangyang hoped it wasn’t either of them.
