"Stop asking, quickly, overturn the altar and destroy all the offerings! Quickly! Otherwise, both you and I will die!"
Master Hao didn't have time to explain anything and could only urge him repeatedly.
Seeing Master Hao's anxious look, Zhong Shanhe could only suppress his myriad of curiosities and, as Master Hao instructed, directly overturned the altar.
The various offerings and incense ash on top were also scattered on the floor.
After finishing, Zhong Shanhe turned to look again and found that Master Hao's complexion had only slightly recovered.
"Master Hao, what exactly is going on? Have the murderers of my son been found?"
Zhong Shanhe, full of curiosity, took the initiative to ask Master Hao.
He had spent so much at such a great cost just to find out who was the real killer of his son.
"Patriarch Zhong, we have known each other for many years. I advise you, the person your son provoked is someone you absolutely cannot afford to offend. If you want to live, give up on revenge!"
"Just now, I performed a ritual to probe and try to investigate the truth, but my divine sense was almost killed by a golden light."
"If you hadn't overturned the altar in time, everyone here today would have died!"
Master Hao gritted his teeth, looking like he had narrowly escaped death.
When did such a powerful expert appear in this small Hangzhou city?
"What? Golden light? Master Hao, what is going on?"
"I spent so much money, I can't be ignorant of everything, can I?"
Seeing Master Hao's appearance, Zhong Shanhe immediately understood that his fifty million and the four virgins were probably wasted.
So he immediately became insistent and walked up to Master Hao.
If it were any other time, he would never dare to speak to Master Hao like this, but now he had no choice, his son was dead!
Coupled with Master Hao's current weakened state, he naturally had no fear.
"Forget it. The person protected by this golden light has an extraordinary status. I advise you to drop this matter, otherwise, it might bring about our demise!"
Seeing Zhong Shanhe's determination, Master Hao quickly tried to persuade him.
Although he didn't understand why there was such golden light, he knew it was definitely protecting the other party!
"I have only seen such golden light on the patriarchs of some influential families and some high-ranking officials."
"However, while my divine sense was being pursued by the golden light, I also sensed that the killer was in the southwest direction."
At this point, Master Hao sighed deeply, wanting to dissuade Zhong Shanhe from seeking revenge.
After all, he still wanted to live a few more years, enjoy a few more years, and not die so soon!
"What? Patriarchs of influential families, or high-ranking officials? The location is in the southwest?"
Hearing Master Hao's words, Zhong Shanhe fell into deep thought.
In Hangzhou, the families that could be called influential were definitely the major families in Hangzhou.
Excluding his own Zhong family, there were only the Shangguan family, Zheng family, Jin family, and Meng family left. httpδ:/m.kuAisugg.nět
And the one that made Zhong Shanhe most suspicious was undoubtedly the Shangguan family.
After all, he also knew that the last place his son went before he died was the Shangguan family!
According to his investigation, when his son was at the Shangguan family, he had an argument with someone.
This was too suspicious!
The Zheng family and the Meng family had no enmity with their Zhong family, and they were involved in politics, so it was impossible for them to do such a thing.
As for the Jin family, there were very few interactions between them, so the only remaining suspect was the Shangguan family!
Moreover, the Shangguan family's villa was not located in the southwest direction?
"Shangguan Xiong, Shangguan Xiong, even if you didn't cause my son's death, you must know about it!"
Thinking of this, Zhong Shanhe narrowed his eyes, and killing intent surged from him.
"Alright, Patriarch Zhong. I am injured today and will go back to recuperate. As for whether to seek revenge or to yield, you decide for yourself!"
Seeing Patriarch Zhong's expression, Master Hao quickly chose to leave.
That golden light just now was too terrifying, like a backlash from heaven!
Anyone without great ability would not have such golden light protection!
"Master! I spent a lot of money to bribe a servant of the Shangguan family."
"According to him, before the young master had the accident, he had an argument with a guest of the Shangguan family. That person's name is Lin Chen, and he is said to be an ex-convict who just got out of prison!"
Just as Zhong Shanhe was contemplating how to deal with the matter, his private secretary rushed in and reported to Zhong Shanhe.
"Oh? Lin Chen? Ex-convict?"
Hearing these keywords, Zhong Shanhe's expression immediately tensed.
"Good, good, good! Lin Chen, right? I can't touch the Shangguan family, but I can't even touch an ex-convict like you?"
Upon hearing Lin Chen's name, Zhong Shanhe clenched his fists, his face filled with murderous intent.
No matter what, someone had to be responsible for his son's death!
"But Master, according to the news I received, this Lin Chen is quite appreciated by Shangguan Xiong. If we try to deal with him openly, it would be tantamount to a direct confrontation with the Shangguan family!"
Seeing that Zhong Shanhe was losing his mind, the secretary quickly reminded him.
"Don't worry, I'm not that stupid. Go and find out all the information about this Lin Chen for me immediately!"
Without further hesitation, Zhong Shanhe gave orders to his subordinate.
"Yes, Master!"
"Well, this matter must be carried out in secret, so that outsiders do not detect any clues."
"Also, the day after tomorrow, Old Master Meng will host a banquet at the Hangzhou Hotel, and it is said that he will be entertaining a mysterious big figure. We need to prepare a gift in advance."
"Alright, Master."
...
Two days passed in a flash. The patriarchs of various families in Hangzhou all wore joyful expressions and arrived at the Hangzhou Grand Hotel in the center of the city early in the morning.
The reason was simple: today, Old Master Meng of the Meng family was hosting a banquet for the patriarchs of all the major and minor families in Hangzhou.
It could be said that anyone who was qualified to attend this banquet had been recognized by Old Master Meng.
Shangguan Xiong and Shangguan Ling'er also arrived at the entrance of the Hangzhou Hotel.
"Grandpa, who do you think this big figure that Old Master Meng is hosting is? To have all the patriarchs of Hangzhou's influential families accompany him, what great prestige!"
Looking at the luxury cars in front of the hotel, Shangguan Ling'er sighed with emotion.
This kind of thing had happened before, but the last time Old Master Meng hosted a guest on such a grand scale was two years ago.
But at that time, that guest was the patriarch of a top family from Kyoto!
Now, which big shot was visiting Hangzhou?
