While out picking up trash, I was forcefully pushed around by a beautiful female CEO.

After Meng Botao finished speaking, he noticed that his brother-in-law, Li Zuwang, was also there, and he also saw the handprint on Meng Yun's face.

"Zu Wang, you're here too!"

Meng Botao had no time to care who had slapped his sister Meng Yun on the face. He absentmindedly greeted Li Zuwang and then fell into a state of confusion.

"What happened? Did you find out about what happened last night?"

When Meng Yuanhe saw his third son, Meng Botao, looking like this, his heart sank. Meng Botao had left earlier to investigate the matter between his granddaughter Meng Qingyao and Lin Feng last night, so he obviously knew something.

"Um!"

Meng Botao nodded, his face grim.

"Tell me quickly, Zu Wang isn't an outsider! What exactly happened last night?"

Meng Yuanhe could no longer contain himself.

"Dad, last night, in an old alley in the city that hasn't been demolished yet, not far from where we're holding our engagement banquet, seven people died."

Meng Botao's lips felt dry.

"Hmm? Third Uncle, such a big case, how come we haven't heard a single word about it?"

Meng Jingran was somewhat surprised to hear this. Deaths are not uncommon, but the deaths of seven people at once are quite serious.

"They've been suppressed by the Su family!"

Meng Botao sighed.

"The Su family? What's your relationship with the Su family?"

Meng Boqu asked in confusion.

"The seven dead men were all thugs in society. The leader was called Scarface, and he was a henchman that the Su family employed two years ago when they were still involved in the gray market."

"Someone from the Su family?"

"Well, that's not the most important thing. The most important thing is that last night, there were security cameras on the street outside the alley that captured Qingyao and Xiaolin coming out of there together, and the time was after Scarface's time of death."

Meng Botao spoke with a solemn expression.

"You mean... these people were all killed by... Kobayashi?"

Meng Yuanhe felt a tightness in his throat.

Meng Boqu's expression also changed.

Upon hearing this, Meng Yun and Li Shuangshuang, who were standing nearby, felt their legs go weak and almost peed themselves. Seven people were killed in one night?

Thinking about the attitude of the mother and daughter towards Lin Feng just now, Meng Yun and Li Shuangshuang felt their scalps tingle and a chill run down their spines.

"There is no conclusive evidence yet, because the security cameras in the alley that could have captured the crime scene all malfunctioned last night as if they had planned it together. In addition, the heavy rain washed away most of the scene, so there is no evidence! But, it's pretty close to the truth."

Meng Botao's tone was complex.

Who would have thought that the young master of the Meng family would be such a ruthless character?

"Grandpa, Dad, Third Uncle, Uncle-in-law, we can probably guess what happened! Now it seems Qingyao wasn't lying. Those malfunctioning cameras were definitely sabotaged by Su Mingxuan. It was all so he could do something so underhanded to Qingyao without leaving any evidence. If it weren't for Xiaofeng, Qingyao probably would have really…"

Meng Jingran clenched his fists and didn't continue speaking.

But they all understood the meaning behind Meng Jingran's words.

"Jingran is probably right. Sigh! In last night's CCTV footage, when Qingyao came out, most of her clothes had been torn off..."

Meng Botao sighed.

"This is outrageous! That little beast from the Su family, he... he doesn't even respect the Meng family at all."

Meng Yuanhe was also extremely angry. No matter what, Meng Qingyao was his granddaughter. Su Mingxuan's despicable act against Meng Qingyao behind her back was undoubtedly a slap in his face.

"Dad, it seems we need to reconsider the marriage with the Su family! Otherwise, who knows what will happen to Qingyao in the future."

Meng Boqu pondered for a moment and then spoke.

"Yes, Grandpa. Judging from what happened last night, the Su family doesn't take this marriage seriously at all. Even if Qingyao enters the Su family, they may not necessarily help us when it comes to family interests."

Meng Jingran nodded and echoed his words.

"Well, since Qingyao and Xiaolin are already married and have registered their marriage, the Su family's marriage proposal is off!"

Meng Yuanhe verbally agreed, but his face showed deep worry. He knew that the Su family would not let the matter rest so easily. Breaking off the engagement was easy, but the difficulties caused by the Su family afterward would be the biggest problem.

"I didn't expect Xiao Feng to be so powerful. I've heard of that Scarface. He practiced Sanda for a few years when he was young. He's extremely ruthless and has taken more than one life for the Su family. I never thought he would fall into Xiao Feng's hands! But these people deserve to die. There's nothing to pity about them. Xiao Feng is doing justice for heaven."

Meng Jingran couldn't help but speak up from the side.

"Won't the police investigate and find out who's behind Xiaolin?"

Meng Boqu thought for a moment and then said.

"Probably not. The Su family is in the wrong in this matter. If they really investigate, won't it eventually lead back to Su Mingxuan? Besides, as Jingran said, Scarface and his ilk are not worth the trouble. The Su family won't let this matter escalate!"

Meng Botao shared his opinion.

"Yes, what the third brother said makes sense. If we really want to investigate further, it should be our Meng family demanding an explanation from Su Mingxuan. He is the real culprit."

Meng Yuanhe nodded in agreement.

Meng Boqu and Meng Jingran both nodded, agreeing with Meng Botao's statement.

Just then, Li Zuwang, who was standing to the side, let out a cold laugh: "Don't worry, Xiao Lin's status is what it is, he is still serving in the military. If the Su family really wants to touch Xiao Lin, it won't be such a simple matter! Even if the Su family has big shots in Kyoto behind them, the Su family won't be stupid enough to use their connections in Kyoto for such a trivial matter."

"Identity? What is Kobayashi's identity?"

Meng Botao asked curiously. He had just returned and was unaware of what had happened earlier, but the next moment he realized what was going on and asked with a look of surprise, "Zu Wang has already found out?"

"Um!"

Meng Yuanhe recounted the events on behalf of Li Zuwang.

"Okay, okay, okay!"

Meng Botao slapped his thigh excitedly: "With this identity, Xiao Lin is completely worthy of Qing Yao. As long as Xiao Lin reveals his identity, the Su family won't dare to do anything to him."

"Yeah, I never expected that this girl would actually find such a gem."

Meng Yuanhe and the others were overjoyed and could not contain their excitement.

"By the way, Zuwang, you just said that there's only one possibility for the information Xiaolin couldn't find. What is it?"

Meng Boqu suddenly remembered what Li Zuwang hadn't finished saying earlier and asked Li Zuwang a question.

"If I'm not mistaken, Xiao Lin is probably from a highly secretive and special unit in the Southeast Theater Command, a special operations force. Even internally, the personnel files of such units aren't fully disclosed. So, it's normal that my comrade doesn't have the necessary permissions!"

Li Zuwang took a deep breath, his eyes filled with admiration: "Thinking about it this way, it's understandable why Xiao Feng was able to kill Scarface and the other seven men all by himself! Because everyone in these special forces units is a veteran who has climbed up from the brink of death! And only by serving in such special forces can one possibly achieve merit and be promoted to lieutenant colonel at the age of twenty-five or twenty-six!"

Upon hearing Li Zuwang's explanation, Meng Yuanhe and the others were all taken aback.

"Then why did he come to Minghai City for no reason? Qingyao said that Xiaolin has been in Minghai City for two years."

Meng Botao asked, puzzled.

"Third Brother, based on my guess, Xiao Feng is probably carrying out some extremely important mission in Minghai City this time. We'd better not interfere! Otherwise, the Meng family can't bear the consequences!"

Li Zuwang said solemnly.

"That's right, Zuwang is right, Dad. As long as Xiaolin's resume and identity are true, nothing else matters. We absolutely mustn't ask about things we shouldn't!"

Meng Boqu also spoke up quickly.

"Yes, that makes sense. Don't inquire, don't inquire!"

Meng Yuanhe nodded hurriedly, unable to hide the smile on his face. Then, he suddenly remembered something and urged Meng Boqu and the others, "What are you all standing there for? Don't forget, Xiao Lin is staying here for dinner tonight. Hurry up and get ready..."
