Chapter 238: Chapter 238: Taking the Blame

"Check carefully to see if there’s any kind of mechanism nearby!" Chou Hongfei bellowed, and his subordinates immediately moved all the ancestral tablets to search the area around the altar.

Sure enough, they found a mechanism button under one of the altars.

A Flying Dragon Team Member casually pressed it, and the ground below the bloodstained table immediately opened up to reveal an entrance to a basement!

"Bang bang bang bang..."

Gunshots rang out, and Chou Hongfei and the Flying Dragon Team members immediately ducked for cover.

Seizing the opportunity of their evasive actions, a group of people quickly emerged from the hole and dashed toward the entrance of the ancestral hall, trying to escape.

Chou Hongfei and the Flying Dragon Team members immediately returned fire. The slower ones among the fleeing figures were hit and fell to the ground, but the fastest one managed to get away.

"You guys watch these criminals, I’ll chase after him!" Chou Hongfei immediately gave chase and then saw two people fighting near the entrance.

The one blocking the criminal turned out to be Yu Li!

Although Yu Li managed to stop the person, she was no match for them.

By the time Chou Hongfei arrived, Yu Li had already been stabbed in the shoulder.

"Yu Li, if it weren’t for the fact that you’re Yang Yu’s woman, you would be dead! Chou Hongfei, don’t you come over here either, or I’ll kill you too!" the person left these words behind and strode away.

"For the sake of Yang Yu’s woman?" Chou Hongfei frowned, "This guy is definitely Yang Xiaoyong!"

Yu Li felt very guilty: "I’m sorry, I’ve made things worse again."

"I told you not to follow the team because I was worried something like this might happen." Chou Hongfei was helpless, "If you had fought Yang Xiaoyong to the death, whoever died would weigh on Yang Yu’s conscience. Fortunately, although Yang Xiaoyong is bad, he has enough loyalty not to kill you. Otherwise, I really wouldn’t know how to explain it to Yang Yu today."

"You don’t need to explain to Yang Yu, you just need to answer to your duty," Yu Li said seriously, "I am also a member of the Flying Dragon Team and the deputy team leader. I can’t just watch my teammates charge ahead of me."

"I wouldn’t stop you at other times, but not now," Chou Hongfei sighed, "Let’s not argue about this right now; let’s deal with the Luo Family’s affairs first!"

The two returned to the Luo Family ancestral hall, where several Flying Dragon Team Members immediately approached: "Both captains, they... they... committed suicide by taking poison."

"What?" Only then did Chou Hongfei notice that the ones who had been shot had all died!

"We checked their bodies and found a poisoned tooth in their mouths; it seems they were prepared to commit suicide at any moment," said one of the team members.

Apart from determining the identities of these people, all other clues were once again severed.

Chou Hongfei looked coldly at the Luo Family members: "Mr. Luo Sr., don’t tell me you have nothing to do with this."

"I really didn’t know about this," Mr. Luo Sr. put on an unconcerned front, "That was an air-raid shelter beneath our house that has been converted. We just store some old family items there now, and I had no idea they were hiding there."

"You didn’t know? Hah!" Chou Hongfei chuckled coldly, "You have so many bodyguards in the Luo Family, and someone even used a candle to cover up the bloodstains, yet you’re telling me you didn’t know? Someone in the Luo Family must know, right? Take them all away!"

Mr. Luo Sr. looked toward Luo Zhongwei, Luo Ziyi’s father, his second son: "Zhongwei, this basement has always been under your management. Go to the Flying Dragon Team and give Captain Chou an explanation."

"What?" Luo Zhongwei’s face twitched instantly, he had never expected his own father to push him forward to take the blame!

Because he didn’t have a son, he was already excluded from the list of inheritors by Mr. Luo Sr., and he was never consulted about important matters.

If it weren’t for the fact that his daughter, Luo Ziyi, was so capable and had earned some face for him within the family, he would have had no status in the Luo Family at all.

And now, Mr. Luo Sr. actually wanted him to surrender and confess, how could he be willing, "Dad, how can you do this!"

"How could you do such a thing behind the family’s back?" Mr. Luo Sr. put on a look of hating iron for not becoming steel, "Your in-laws pride themselves on having you as a son-in-law, your daughter Ziyi is striving for the family in the Southern Ocean, yet you commit actions that betray the family, I am truly disappointed!"

While Mr. Luo Sr. was blaming Luo Zhongwei on the surface, everyone in the Luo Family knew what he really meant.

Luo Zhongwei’s wife, Second Mrs. Luo, was a daughter from an ordinary family, which was one reason the Luo Family looked down on the couple.

But Second Mrs. Luo’s family had changed their fortune completely thanks to the status of Luo Zhongwei as the Second Master of the Luo Family; put bluntly, it was all thanks to the face of the Luo Family.

If Luo Zhongwei didn’t obey, it wasn’t just Second Mrs. Luo’s family that would be in trouble, even Ziyi, far off in the Southern Ocean, would be suppressed.

A threat, an undisguised threat.

Luo Zhongwei bit his teeth and, in the end, said no more, turning to look at Chou Hongfei, "Captain Chou, I’ll go with you."

Seeing her husband being taken away by the Flying Dragon Team, Second Mrs. Luo was frantic and wanted to follow, "Zhongwei, Zhongwei!"

The Luo Family members quickly held Second Mrs. Luo back; she could only watch helplessly, crying her heart out, "Zhongwei—"

"What? My dad got arrested by the Flying Dragon Team for harboring a human trafficker and murderer?" Luo Ziyi, far off in the Southern Ocean, was immediately enraged upon hearing the news, "The old man is too bullying!"

Luo Ziyi knew only too well the situation of her father in the Luo Family.

Take away anyone else in the Luo Family; none are innocent, only her father is – he’s innocent.

But it is precisely because her father knows nothing of the inside story that his being taken away ensures the Luo Family’s safety.

Luo Ziyi was all too aware of her grandfather’s methods, but now she couldn’t rush back in time. After much thought, there was only one thing she could do - call Yang Yu, "Yang Yu, help me out, whatever the cost, I will pay it!"

"You want to save your dad?" Yang Yu immediately guessed Luo Ziyi’s intentions for the call, "He’s a suspect."

"I can swear to heaven, my dad has nothing to do with this. It’s my uncle, Luo Zhongda, who’s directly responsible." Luo Ziyi initially didn’t want to betray the Luo Family, but now she had no other concerns.

Why couldn’t she let the real culprit pay the price if the Luo Family was willing to sacrifice her dad?

"I don’t have evidence," Yang Yu said, "Unless you can provide me with evidence, I’ll go rescue your dad right away, and you won’t have to pay anything."

"I don’t have evidence," Luo Ziyi replied helplessly, "But I can guess, next, my grandfather will do everything he can to make my dad write a will, confess to everything, and then force my dad to commit suicide."

Yang Yu found it hard to believe, "Is your grandfather really that ruthless?"

"Ruthless? Heh," Luo Ziyi scoffed, "What does the death of an insignificant son who only eats without contributing matter compared to the wealth and status of the Luo Family?"
