The voice changer had gone through multiple transformations to produce the final sound. The technology department said it would take time to fully restore it. If they could figure out who it was, it would be much easier.
Unfortunately, it hadn't been done yet.
"Dad, don't worry. There are still three hours until the deadline. I'm urging the technical department, and we'll have results soon," Zheng Aiguo said quickly.
"Not worry? How can I not worry?!" Zheng Jianguo slammed his hand on the table. "If I'm not worried now, when will I be? When my eyebrows are burning? Or when Lin Xiao makes our Zheng family pay with our lives?!"
"That's not what I meant..."
"Then what do you mean?"
Zheng Jianguo had no patience left. These three days had yielded nothing. He couldn't understand it; with this recording, there should have been some clue, right? But there was nothing, as if everything had been meticulously cleaned.
Challenged by the elder, he didn't know what to say.
"In three hours," Zheng Jianguo suddenly calmed down. "If there's still nothing by then, I will take my own life to atone."
"No! You can't!"
Instantly, the three brothers in the room cried out in unison, "Absolutely not! Dad, you are a veteran, the Commander-in-Chief of the three armed forces of Longguo. If you commit suicide like this, Longguo will descend into chaos! The people of the United States will also stir! Absolutely not!"
"Then what do you suggest? I promised Lin Xiao, and this is a disgrace to our Zheng family! Do you understand? A disgrace! To wash away this disgrace, we need to use blood!" Zheng Jianguo stared at his three sons. "The Zheng family does not allow such a stain, nor does the Zheng family's legacy in Longguo."
"Dad!"
Hearing this, the three brothers panicked. Was their father really going to do this?
This would never do!
"Don't rush, you all."
Suddenly, Lin Xiao swaggered into the office. With a wave of his hand, the office door closed. He walked up to Zheng Jianguo and said, "Elder Zheng, I told you I wouldn't let you pay with your life."
"Lin Xiao..." Zheng Jianguo looked distressed. "The three days are almost up, and I can't give an explanation..."
"Elder Zheng, there are still the last three hours. Don't rush," Lin Xiao said, pulling up a chair and sitting down. His gaze swept over Zheng Lao's three sons.
Far away, yet right before his eyes.
This sentence still lingered in Lin Xiao's mind.
Lin Xiao had also looked for the old Taoist priest later, but he hadn't seen him at the stall. He had asked the other vendors, and they all replied that they didn't know and had never seen a fortune-telling old Taoist priest.
This made Lin Xiao take it seriously.
That old Taoist priest had truly been waiting for him there.
Since that was the case, the sentence was indeed useful.
So, he waited.
He waited for the three days to pass, and perhaps then he would know who this "right before his eyes" referred to.
These three people were all suspects.
Lin Xiao narrowed his eyes, especially at the twin brothers, Zheng Aimin and Zheng Aijia.
But he couldn't directly reveal this. He certainly couldn't ask Elder Zheng to check his own sons based on a fortune-telling prediction; it wouldn't make sense.
Therefore, he was waiting for the answer.
Someone who could make it impossible for everyone to investigate, Lin Xiao didn't believe anyone could do that.
