Chapter 159

Leaving the Xu family villa, Chu Tianhe did not linger and headed straight back to Jiangzhou!

Meanwhile, undercurrents were surging in Jiangzhou city. Lin Feng and Liu Dongming sat inside a lakeside teahouse, their faces filled with extreme tension.

"A sudden heart attack? Liu Dongming, do you really think you can get away with such a flimsy excuse?"

A chilling voice came from across Lin Feng and Liu Dongming. A man dressed in a tailored suit sat there calmly, flanked by two formidable ancient martial arts masters standing behind him.

This man was none other than Lan Shihao's son, Lan Qiancheng!

"Young Master Lan, this..." Unable to withstand the oppressive aura emanating from Lan Qiancheng, Liu Dongming opened his mouth to speak, only to be abruptly stopped by Lin Feng!

Lin Feng smiled, turned to face Lan Qiancheng, and said, "Young Master Lan, according to all the evidence we have gathered, your father Lan Shihao indeed passed away from a sudden heart attack!"

"Lin Feng, don't assume that just because you are the Commander of the War Department's Municipal Branch, I wouldn't dare touch you!"

Lan Qiancheng's gaze instantly shifted from Liu Dongming to Lin Feng, his eyes flashing with a cold, piercing light, and his words dripping with blatant threats.

"Young Master Lan, one should know one's place. Although you belong to the prestigious Lan family, I am, after all, the Grand Commander of the War Department's Municipal Branch, serving under the military command. If you dare to lay a hand on me, then—"

Unlike Liu Dongming, although the War Department's branch was not directly under the main military command, it still had deep ties to the armed forces. Because of this, Lin Feng spoke with considerably more backbone than Liu Dongming.

However, before Lin Feng could finish his sentence, Lan Qiancheng gave a slight wave of his hand.

"Bang!"

In a flash, one of the ancient martial arts masters behind Lan Qiancheng made a move. A formidable surge of martial arts Qi instantly erupted, and without the slightest hesitation, he slammed his palm down onto Lin Feng's head!

"Boom!"

Lin Feng's head was forcefully pressed down onto the table, his face distorted by the immense pressure, and his voice cut off instantly.

"Lin Feng, I'm laying a hand on you right now. What can you possibly do about it?"

His subordinate had pinned Lin Feng down with a single move, showing not an ounce of respect. Lan Qiancheng then slowly stood up, walked over to Lin Feng, and stared down at him with utter contempt. "You are merely the commander of a minor third-tier city's War Department branch, yet you dare to put on airs in front of me, Lan Qiancheng. Even if I were to kill you today, no one would dare to make trouble for the Lan family!"

Faced with Lan Qiancheng's ruthless demeanor, Liu Dongming, standing nearby, was too terrified to even breathe.

Compared to Lin Feng, he was inherently weaker. At least Lin Feng could leverage the War Department to hold his ground, whereas the Public Security Bureau had no such backing whatsoever!

At this moment, Liu Dongming's legs had turned to jelly, and his face was drained of all color.

"My father has always been in excellent health. He could easily handle three or four women a night, and now you're telling me he died of a sudden heart attack?"

Lan Qiancheng's gaze slowly drifted away from Lin Feng and fixed upon Liu Dongming, his voice sharp and severe. "My father's body is at your Public Security Bureau, isn't it?"

Swish!

Instantly, an immense wave of pressure bore down on him!

Liu Dongming's expression changed drastically, his pupils contracting sharply as he stammered, "I-It... It was before... But now... it's no longer there."

"Not there anymore?"

Hearing this, Lan Qiancheng raised an eyebrow. He walked straight up to Liu Dongming and demanded, "Then Chief Liu had better explain to me precisely where my father's body is right now!"

"It's... It's at the crematorium, in cabinet A07," Liu Dongming blurted out hastily. Terrified that the Lan family would discover Lan Shihao had not died of a natural heart attack, Liu Dongming had dispatched men overnight to have Lan Shihao's body cremated!

"What?!"

In an instant, Lan Qiancheng was consumed by fury. He grabbed Liu Dongming by the collar, roaring, "You burned my father's body?!"
