Captain Lu was aloof again today.

Chapter 55 Evil Causes
Jihai Group is one of the top enterprises in Tangzhou City, owning an entire building.

The building is located in the most prosperous commercial district of Tangzhou City, where high-rise buildings stand side by side, and the streets are bustling with traffic and pedestrians.

A gentle autumn breeze stirs up a few wisps of drizzle, which drift down into the air.

A black sports car sped past, kicking up a cloud of dust, before coming to a sleek and stylish stop in front of the Xiamen Tower.

Seeing this, the security guard assumed it was a large company coming to discuss cooperation and quickly came forward to greet them.

The first thing I saw was the man sitting in the passenger seat.

He was wearing a white shirt and clean, neat black trousers. His features were sharp and defined, but he looked somewhat cold.

The security guard, even more certain of his guess, bowed and smiled obsequiously, "Excuse me, do you two have an appointment?"

Lu Jingming strode out of the passenger seat and replied indifferently, "Police."

The security guard was shocked and stammered, "Police? What brings you two officers here?"

Lu Jingming didn't stop walking: "I'm looking for your General Manager Wen."

"This, this..." While the security guard hesitated, Lu Jingming and Wei Qingsong had already stepped onto the stairs and entered the Jihai Building.

After showing her police ID, the receptionist nervously tried to call Wencheng to confirm, just in time to see Wencheng coming out of the elevator on the first floor.

The receptionist breathed a sigh of relief and called out, "Mr. Wen, these two police officers are looking for you."

Accompanying Wen Cheng were several young men in suits. Upon hearing this, they all looked at Wen Cheng with surprised and suspicious eyes.

Wen Cheng paused for a moment, then handed the document in his hand to the person next to him, whispered a few words of instruction, and only walked over with a sullen face after the young men left.

He nodded to the receptionist, then said to Lu Jingming, "This is not the place to talk. Please come with me."

The three of them arrived at the top-floor office. Wen Cheng loosened his tie and casually gestured, "Officers, please have a seat. Is there any new progress in Wen Yu's case?"

Wei Qingsong and Lu Jingming exchanged a glance, then took out an evidence bag from their briefcases. Inside was the letter Wen Cheng had sent to Xu Yuan.

She asked calmly, "According to our investigation, this letter was sent by you to Xu Yuan. Why?"

Wen Cheng was slightly taken aback, but quickly recovered and said calmly, "Since you have already found out about Xu Yuan, you must also know about his relationship with Wen Yu. As Wen Yu's older brother, I do not want him to continue to act recklessly, so I sent this letter."

These words made perfect sense, so Wei Qingsong didn't press the matter further. Instead, she took out the photo and gently placed it on Wen Cheng's desk.

"Then how does Mr. Wen explain that the car you were riding in, Tang A33075, was in the same locations on the day Situ Hui disappeared and the afternoon Wen Yu was murdered?"

Wen Cheng's expression changed slightly. After a long silence, he suddenly smiled, as if relieved, yet also somewhat dejected.

He leaned back slightly, his tone still calm: "What else did you find out?"

He didn't seem surprised at all; in fact, it was as if he had been prepared for it all along.

Wei Qingsong raised an eyebrow slightly, her beautiful eyes narrowing: "What does Mr. Wen hope we will find out?"

Wen Cheng hesitated for a moment, then slowly said, "That day, when I saw Xu Yuan at the police station, I knew that you would eventually find out about me."

He knew that his actions would eventually be exposed, but he didn't expect it to happen so soon.

Wei Qingsong hadn't expected Wen Cheng to admit it so easily. She asked quietly, "Don't you have anything to say?"

"I have nothing to say," Wen Cheng said calmly.

"Where did you hide Situ Hui?" Wei Qingsong asked again.

Wen Cheng lowered his eyes, his unremarkable face clouded with gloom: "You've all found that car, so finding her is probably just a matter of time."

He appeared to calmly confess to his crimes, but he had no intention of cooperating with the police.

Lu Jingming sneered and shook the gleaming handcuffs: "If you don't want to talk now, save it for when you get to the police station."

Wen Cheng remained calm throughout, and even extended his hands very proactively.

His face was expressionless, like a warrior calmly facing death.

This tranquility was quickly shattered when Wen Chenghua arrived after hearing the news.

Wen Chenghua's gaze lingered on the silver handcuffs for a moment, first blankly, then his eyes turned bloodshot with uncontrollable rage: "It's you?"

For the first time, Wen Cheng smiled, but the smile was somewhat sinister.

Are you surprised, sir?

"You bastard, you're absolutely outrageous!"

Wen Chenghua's chest heaved violently. He roared, strode forward, and grabbed Wen Cheng's collar.

Seeing his speechless shock, Wen Cheng smiled with great pleasure, and the ferocity on his face gradually disappeared.

"Didn't you say it before? I'm an uncultured wolf. You're going to pluck out my claws, remove my fangs, and make me a dog that only knows how to be loyal."

He paused, then gave a cryptic chuckle, his gaze deep and unfathomable: "But a wolf is always a wolf, it will never turn into a dog, and its claws will always grow back one day."

Wen Chenghua was stunned, his expression one of astonishment: "You actually remember?"

This happened many years ago.

At that time, there was fierce infighting among the top executives of Jihai Group. He had no children of his own, so he could only adopt Wencheng and, in the shortest possible time, mold him into the person he wanted him to be.

Later, Wencheng indeed submitted loyally. He never imagined that he would always remember those insults and humiliations.

Wen Chenghua took a deep breath and said in a deep voice, "If you resent me and hate me, then come at me if you have the guts. Why did you have to hurt my son?"

Wen Cheng sneered, his gaze icy: "For you, Jihai Group is the most important thing. Wen Yu is dead, and Wen Ye is no longer capable of taking on important responsibilities. Your life's work will soon be destroyed. What could be more satisfying than this?"

"You! You beast!"

Unable to contain his anger any longer, Wen Chenghua threw a punch at Wen Cheng.

Wen Cheng was unable to dodge in time and took the punch head-on. Blood trickled from the corner of his lips, and he staggered back two steps.

A strange smile curved his lips as he laughed, as if mocking, "Master, you are the source of all evil."

Wen Chenghua's movements froze, and his arm, which had been hanging in mid-air, slowly and limply fell down.

He turned slightly to the side, his back to Wen Cheng. The once ruthless and powerful figure who dominated the business world now looked like an ordinary old man, haggard and lonely.

He spent half his life in a position of great influence and control, and when he said go east, no one dared to go west.

Within this small space, he enjoyed a supreme feeling, but little did he know that in the end, all that remained was sorrow.

He never imagined that one day he would reap the bitter fruits of his own actions.

Sow evil seeds and reap evil fruits. If he hadn't been so eager for quick success and caused irreversible psychological damage to Wencheng, how could such a tragedy have occurred?
