Chapter 178 Death News

 Some of them tried to hold back their laughter, some pursed their lips, some touched their hair or nose, and made a hundred other fake movements just to hide their embarrassment.

  In other words, Zhiyin had been staring at Qi Heng. Otherwise, if he had looked carefully at the people from the Xianlai Sect, he might have found some clues from a few of them with poor acting skills.

  Qi Heng really didn't know the details, so the expression on his face when he was tested by Zhiyin was a very real shock.

  He even doubted at this moment——

  Could it be that after they left, another thief broke into the warehouse and emptied out the remaining items?

  After all, she was just a junior sister, and it didn't seem like she was someone who could do such a brutal thing.

  When Zhiyin saw Qi Heng's expression, he felt that this matter definitely had nothing to do with the young master.

  "Yes, the entire warehouse is empty except for the first floor. There is not even a shelf left." Zhiyin said with great disgust, "I don't know who did it. It's just inhumane!"

  While he was speaking, he didn't notice that Mo Jiuwei, who was held by Du Yue, was giving him a death stare.

  [You are not a human being, huh! ]

  [This lady is quick-eyed and quick-handed, decisive and efficient! ]

  In fact, the reason why Mo Jiuwei was able to empty the entire warehouse was not only because she owned an immortal palace, but also because her spiritual awareness was extremely strong.

  The Qiankun space is originally controlled by spiritual consciousness to take things. People with weak spiritual consciousness can move less things at a time, and the number of times they go back and forth is also more.

  If you move too frequently, you may feel dizzy.

  However, these problems did not exist for her, so she was able to put away the large shelf and all the things on it quickly, which was astonishingly fast.

  Qi Heng almost gasped when he heard this——

  It was really done by Junior Sister!

  He cast a shocked look at Mo Jiuwei.

  Mo Jiuwei received his gaze and became a little confused.

  [Why does Senior Brother Qi look at me like this? ]

  [Didn't he tell me to pack as much as I can?]

  [Did I pretend not to be good enough? He wants me to take away those worthless things on the first floor as well? ]

  Qi Heng: ...

  Zhiyin glanced at the people present and secretly counted them, but did not find that there was anyone missing.

  "I didn't expect something like this to happen in your house." Qi Heng noticed Zhiyin's look and sighed, looking a little annoyed. "Maybe a thief noticed that I brought guests back to your house today, so he wanted to take advantage of the chaos to do something, and he actually succeeded... I haven't been here for many years, so the guards in this house are a little too lax!"

  "Yes, yes, sir, that's what you said... Then sir, may I ask if you and your friends heard any unusual noises tonight?"

  "I haven't heard it. I'm busy." Qi Heng said lightly.

  Zhiyin looked behind Qi Heng. The woman lowered her head shyly, and he could only see half of her small, white chin.

  That's really busy...

  Zhiyin did not ask any more questions. He confessed his crime and left with his men.

  Once they left, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

  "Junior Sister Zhao, I'm sorry." Qi Heng turned around and said to Zhao Ning apologetically.

  He acted out the whole thing to give a more reasonable explanation for why he would not return to his own courtyard tonight but would stay in the guest room. There was no reason more credible than this.

  Time was too tight. Among the female cultivators, Zhao Ning's room was the only one that was closest. Seeing that Zhi Yin was about to bring people over, he had no choice but to enter this room.  

  Fortunately, Zhao Ning was easy to talk to and cooperated with the performance, and her shyness was quite realistic.

  I think Zhiyin and others should not have any doubts.

  "Brother Qi, you're welcome." Zhao Ning pursed her lips and smiled.

  "What should we do now?" Hu Jiu asked, "With so many things missing, the government will definitely conduct an investigation, right?"

  And these outsiders are still the most suspicious.

  "What are you afraid of? No matter how they investigate, they have no evidence." Liu Feng said, "Besides, the Immortal Palace... they can't find it either."

  If you want to convict them, you have to catch them red-handed!

  All the guards in the warehouse are dead, and the things inside are all in the Immortal Palace. There is no evidence to prove that they did it.

  Even if someone really suspected them, it would be useless.

  Qi Heng nodded, "Don't worry, you'll be fine as long as I'm here. It's getting late, you should go and rest first, I'll be out for a while."

  "Where are you going?" Chen Lan asked worriedly.

  Qi Heng sneered, "Now that my good father has woken up, I will naturally ask about my mother."

  He is going to be the bad guy who complains first!

  Qi Rong, who was waiting for news in the front hall with Qi Ye and some other ladies and gentlemen of the Qi family who had received the news, saw Qi Heng walking towards them with a stern face.

  "I heard that your house was robbed. Any news?"

  Qi Ye had already heard about the situation in the guest room from Zhiyin, and he also felt that it was unlikely that Qi Heng would do this.

  No matter what, Qi Heng is still the son of the Qi family and has not yet broken off relations with his family. It doesn't seem like something he would do.

  Besides, he was being intimate with his lover when the incident happened and didn't have the time.

  Thinking of this, Qi Ye happened to see a suspicious red mark on Qi Heng's neck, and his suspicion was immediately alleviated.

  "No news yet. The person who came was very clean and left almost no trace." Qi Ye sighed and said, "None of the servants in the mansion saw the person who came. Only someone vaguely heard the fighting in the warehouse, but did not see anything clearly."

  "How could this happen? Who did this?" Qi Heng asked with a frown.

  "We think it might be related to the Chamber of Commerce." Qi Ye expressed his rough guess, "We are competing with the Jiao and Yu families for the quota to join the Chamber of Commerce. This happened at this juncture. It is very likely that they were responsible."

  Those two families are rich and powerful, and they definitely have experts who can do such a thing, and they also have the motive.

  The timing was perfect. The Qi family was about to win, but something big happened tonight!

  Once this happened, unless the treasures in the warehouse were recovered in time, what would the Qi family use to compete with the Jiao and Yu families?

  Qi Ye's face was as black as the bottom of a pot. He never expected that the two families would do such a shameless thing. If other families knew about it, they would also strongly condemn it! They

  are really inhuman!

  Qi Heng: ...

  His expression was a little strange.

  Is there such a good thing?

  He thought it would take some effort to clear his suspicion, but he didn't expect there was a ready-made scapegoat, which saved him a lot of trouble.

  So Qi Heng nodded and said, "This is outrageous! Patriarch, you must not let them go!"

  Qi Ye hummed.

  "Dad, are you sober now?" Qi Heng looked at Qi Rong, his tone not as friendly as when he spoke to Qi Ye, "Then can you tell me where did you send Mom?"

  Qi Rong's eyes were evasive and his face turned pale.

  How could he dare to say that?

  Because according to Du Huang, the news of Lin Fu's death would come in the next two days.
