You went on a blind date and presented an A-level wanted criminal as a meeting gift?

Three days later, the sky over the capital was overcast and a light drizzle was falling.

The funeral held by the Xiao family for Chu Tianxiong was solemnly held in a luxurious funeral home in the suburbs of Beijing.

Despite the uproar surrounding Chu Tianxiong's "suicide out of fear of punishment," the Xiao family still hypocritically held an extremely respectable funeral.

dignitaries and celebrities from all walks of life in the capital came to pay their respects. They offered their condolences to the Xiao family, whether sincerely or insincerely, and lamented Chu Tianxiong's "tragedy."

Inside the funeral hall, mournful music played softly, creating a solemn atmosphere.

Xiao Zhen, dressed in a black suit with a white flower pinned to his chest, stood before the mourning hall, his face bearing a perfectly measured expression of grief.

He stood in front of the microphone, his voice deep and infectious, as he delivered a speech in remembrance of Chu Tianxiong.

"Mr. Chu Tianxiong was once a leading figure in Beijing's business community and made outstanding contributions to society."

Xiao Zhen's voice carried a hint of heartache, yet it was also filled with the awe-inspiring spirit of "sacrificing family for the greater good."

However, even the best men can make mistakes.

"He ultimately turned to crime, causing enormous losses to the country and its people."

Xiao Zhen paused slightly at this point, then said in a heavy tone.

"I, Xiao Zhen, as his friend and ally, am deeply saddened by this."

"But the net of justice is wide and its meshes are fine, and no one can be above the law."

"Mr. Chu Tianxiong ultimately chose to atone for his sins with his death, which can be considered as giving an explanation for his actions."

Upon hearing this, all the dignitaries present nodded in agreement, marveling at Xiao Zhen's "righteous indignation."

They all knew that Xiao Zhen's move was to completely sever the relationship between the Xiao family and the Tianqiong Group, shift all the blame onto Chu Tianxiong, and thus clear the Xiao family's name.

Just as Xiao Zhen finished his speech and was about to bow,

"Bang!"

A loud bang suddenly shattered the solemnity of the funeral hall.

The heavy wooden door was kicked open with tremendous force, crashing against the wall with a deafening sound!

All eyes turned instantly to the doorway.

Lin Chen, dressed in a black trench coat, strode in with a cold expression.

Behind him, Su Qingge and Li Mingyu followed closely, both wearing police uniforms and with sharp eyes.

Lin Chen's appearance instantly shattered the "harmonious" atmosphere in the funeral hall.

All the nobles wore expressions of surprise, confusion, and even a hint of fear.

Xiao Zhen's expression changed drastically. He looked at Lin Chen, a hint of wariness flashing in his eyes.

He forced a smile, trying to appear calm, but his tone carried a hint of dissatisfaction.

"Advisor Lin, respect for the dead is paramount. Your actions of causing trouble here are incredibly inhumane."

"make trouble?"

Lin Chen's lips curled into a mocking sneer as he slowly walked towards Xiao Zhen, each step carrying an invisible sense of oppression.

"Master Xiao, I've come to deliver a generous gift to President Chu."

A grand gift?

Ownership is a source of confusion for many.

Aren't Lin Chen and Chu Tianxiong mortal enemies?

What kind of big gift will he give?

A sense of foreboding flashed through Xiao Zhen's mind. Looking into Lin Chen's cold eyes, he felt a chill run from the soles of his feet to the top of his head.

Lin Chen walked up to Xiao Zhen, stopped, and stood face to face with him. His gaze swept over Xiao Zhen's hypocritical face, and then over the fake nobles around them.

"Li Mingyu".

Lin Chen suddenly spoke.

"arrive!"

Li Mingyu immediately responded.

"The sound system is connected to the funeral hall."

Lin Chen gave the order in a calm tone.

Without the slightest hesitation, Li Mingyu took out a small device from his bag and quickly connected it to the sound system in the funeral hall.

Xiao Zhen's face turned deathly pale instantly. He seemed to have thought of something, and suddenly rushed towards Li Mingyu, roaring angrily.

"Stop! What do you think you're doing?!"

However, it was too late.

Li Mingyu has completed the connection.

Lin Chen snapped his fingers.

next second.

The conversation was extremely clear throughout the funeral hall!

That voice was Xiao Zhen and Chu Tianxiong talking inside the secret base!

"As long as we fabricate a story that you committed suicide out of guilt, and pin all the blame on you, Lin Chen will have no evidence to harm the Xiao family!"

"Allies? There are only eternal interests, not eternal allies. You are now a useless pawn, a bomb that could explode at any moment. The Xiao family has no interest in going down with you."

"As long as we fabricate a story that you committed suicide out of guilt, and pin all the blame on you, Lin Chen will have no evidence to harm the Xiao family!"

The recording played on a loop, Xiao Zhen's cold and cruel voice echoing in the funeral hall, each word like a sharp knife, stabbing viciously into the hearts of all the nobles.

The entire audience of powerful and influential people was instantly in uproar!

They stared blankly at Xiao Zhen, their faces filled with disbelief and terror.

This...this is actually Xiao Zhen's voice!

The contents of the recording sent chills down their spines!

murder!

Backstab!

A fake suicide!

No one expected that such a dirty and bloody truth was hidden behind this "touching" funeral!

Xiao Zhen's face turned deathly pale, and his body swayed precariously.

Looking at the disdainful and fearful gazes cast upon him by the powerful and wealthy around him, he felt dizzy and disoriented.

A cold smile curled at the corners of Lin Chen's lips.

Patriarch Xiao, are you satisfied with this generous gift?
