The dark room that all fighters fear made Leona's face turn slightly pale, but she still said, "Even if you lock me in the dark room, it won't change my mind."

“Leona will not change her mind for anyone,” she said solemnly.

Her eyes shone brightly, even brighter than the stars in the sky.

Leona's words struck Chen Jialuo like a hammer blow. For the first time since acquiring the system, he felt that Leona was a living, breathing person, not just a summoned King of Fighters character.

She has thoughts, just like him.

Chen Jialuo was very serious, and his serious expression made Leanna's heart flutter slightly. She even closed her eyes. "Are you going to lock me in a dark room? I'm ready."

But the next second, Chen Jialuo's hearty laughter rang out, and she suddenly opened her eyes in astonishment.

I don't understand why Chen Jialuo is laughing.

The next moment, Chen Jialuo spoke, stroking Liana's long hair, "I won't lock you in a dark room. What you said did make me angry, but not to the point that I lost my temper."

"I promise I will be the strongest," he said confidently. "So, you will only ever have me as your man."

Who in this world is stronger than him?

Nobody will be here!

Hearing Chen Jialuo's confident words, Leona's heart pounded, and she boldly said, "You're so handsome, let's do it again."

She hoped so too; Chen Jialuo was the strongest man.

The next morning, before dawn, a series of urgent phone calls woke Chen Jialuo up.

He's grumpy when he wakes up, and as soon as the call connected, he started cursing, "Who the hell is it this morning! Didn't I tell you not to disturb me when I'm sleeping?!"

Deng Wei's voice came from the other end of the phone, "A Luo, James's body has been found in the sea! Did you do it?"

Chen Jialuo was half-awake. He reached his left hand and slowly kneaded Leona's ample bosom, while holding the phone in his right hand. He exclaimed in surprise, "What? James is dead? How did he die?"

· ····Requesting flowers···· ·······

Hearing Chen Jialuo's surprised voice, Deng Wei breathed a sigh of relief, feeling much more at ease. However, he couldn't help but ask again, "You really didn't do it?"

Chen Jialuo's surprise was genuine, but he wasn't surprised that James was dead, but rather that James's body had been discovered so quickly.

If I had known, I should have prepared a barbell and tied him to it.

.. 0

Oh, what a pity, what a pity, the hospitality was inadequate.

Chen Jialuo immediately frowned, his tone a mixture of surprise and displeasure.

"Grandpa, of course I didn't do it. He's my friend. I was hoping he would help me connect with his dad so the project could proceed more smoothly."

"What good would it do me if he died?"

Hearing Chen Jialuo say this, Deng Wei nodded slightly, "That's true, but there's something you did, right? I was knocked unconscious in the corridor."

Chen Jialuo chuckled, "To be precise, he wasn't knocked unconscious by me, but by my men who accidentally knocked him unconscious."

Deng Wei couldn't help but laugh. "You slippery little devil, would your men attack me without your permission?"

He sighed, "You were right to stop me. After I came back and thought about it, what you said makes sense. James's father has been in Hong Kong for so many years, how could he not have connections? I was just in a hurry yesterday and almost fell into the trap of those three foreigners."

"Grandpa, please don't say that. Grandpa is just being cautious, hoping to find better development opportunities for Wo Luen Shing," Chen Jialuo said.

Chapter 251 The Cops Come Knocking

“James is dead, and all of us who were on the ship are suspects,” Deng Wei said. “We’ll probably be questioned by someone later.”

Chen Jialuo smiled slightly, "Come on then, I'm not afraid of doing things I've never done before."

With the Soul Jade—the Jade of the Four Kingdoms—he has a very solid alibi, so even if James's father wanted to cause trouble, he wouldn't be able to.

As he said this, there was a knock on the door.

Chen Jialuo wrapped himself in a bath towel, opened it, and saw that it was Chen Taishan.

"Brother Luo, the police have come knocking on your door, saying you're involved in a murder case. We need to go and investigate."

Chen Jialuo said into the phone, "Grandpa, speak of the devil and he appears. I'm not talking to you anymore, I'm going to meet them."

Deng Wei said, "My people have arrived too. James's father really has influence. There are over a hundred people on the cruise ship, and they're checking everyone one by one." Chen Jialuo laughed, "Who told him his son to die? He's dead. Maybe we'll be meeting at the police station later."

After hanging up the phone, Chen Jialuo changed into a sharp suit and followed Chen Taishan into the lobby. There were four police officers in the lobby, one of whom Chen Jialuo recognized as Li Feng, the head of the anti-triad unit.

Li Feng saw him, winked at him, and then spread his hands. He meant he couldn't help it either. Chen Jialuo yawned and plopped down in the main seat.

"Officers, what brings you here so early?"

Li Feng introduced, "This is Qin Fengyuan, the team leader of the Operations Investigation Division. I am Li Feng from the Anti-Triad Unit. We are here to ask you about the case of James' death."

He pretended not to know Chen Jialuo.

Qin Fengyuan's eyes swept back and forth between Li Feng and Chen Jialuo.

Chen Jialu cursed Li Feng inwardly for not even being able to pretend properly. He took out a cigarette from his pocket and lit it. "Li Sir, I know you. You've come to my place twice now."

“Even if my memory is terrible, I still remember.” He said, looking at Qin Fengyuan. “But this is the first time I’ve seen you, Qin sir. Please forgive my poor hospitality; I couldn’t greet you properly.”

Upon hearing Chen Jialuo's words, Li Feng realized a major flaw in his earlier statement. He had handled two cases related to Chen Jialuo; there was no need for him to introduce himself.

No wonder Qin Fengyuan looked at him with a puzzled expression.

"Don't be shy, tell me what happened after we boarded the ship yesterday." Qin Fengyuan took out his notebook and pen, ready to write it down.

Chen Jialuo said, "After boarding the ship, I played cards and won quite a bit. Later, I wanted to get to know Mr. James, so I didn't ask for those chips."

"And just as I expected, this behavior left a deep impression on Mr. James. He even invited me to drink champagne and later asked me to take his place in a betting game."

Qin Fengyuan said, "Have you forgotten something? According to our investigation, Mr. James was interested in your dance partner. Did you kill him because of this?"

As he spoke, his eyes were fixed on Chen Jialuo, trying to discern something from his expression and guessing his answer.

"To be precise, she's not my dance partner, she's my girlfriend, you know what I mean by 'girlfriend'?" Chen Jialuo said calmly. "There are plenty of girls interested in me, do you expect me to kill them all one by one?"

Qin Fengyuan thought Chen Jialuo would deny it, but he didn't. He inwardly scoffed, then said aloud, "You two swapped room keys, right? And James died sometime after you swapped your keys..."

“Someone saw James go into your and your girlfriend’s room, and then you killed him in that room. Under the cover of night, you pushed his body into the water.”

"Qin sir, you really do overthink things." Chen Jialuo lit a cigarette and said with a smile, "If I weren't involved, I would really have to believe it. Whoever saw it, bring him to confront me face to face. Besides, after parting ways with James, I've been playing cards in the lobby the whole time. If you don't believe me, you can go and ask."

At this point, he directly ordered them to leave.

"Alright, I have something to do, so I won't see them off any further. Taishan, please see them off for me."

Qin Fengyuan said, "You need to come with us, along with your girlfriend."

"What if I don't?" Chen Jialuo raised an eyebrow, and the henchmen around him who were working immediately stopped and stared coldly at Qin Fengyuan. The henchmen in the hall all had blood on their hands, and their eyes were extremely fierce.

Qin Fengyuan had long heard of Chen Jialuo and his gang of henchmen's reputation, and he had already felt the oppressive atmosphere when he entered. Now, the oppressive atmosphere was even more pronounced.

“4.7 Prince Luo, you are a smart man. The dead man was the Governor's son. If you don't cooperate, you will pay the price.”

Chen Jialuo shrugged and readily agreed, "Alright, I'll go with you then."

He who knows the current affairs is a hero.

Where's your girlfriend?

Qin Fengyuan asked.

Chen Jialuo said, "She's sleeping. She's getting some beauty sleep. She'll probably wake up soon."

Qin Fengyuan said, "Wake her up."

"No, she has to wake up naturally." Chen Jialuo stared at Qin Fengyuan, his tone icy. "Whoever tries to wake her will have a hard time."

Chapter 252 Did you kill my son?

Qin Fengyuan said coldly, "Are you threatening me?"

"This isn't a threat, it's a fact," Chen Jialuo sneered. "If you don't believe me, you can try."

Qin Fengyuan let out a breath, hesitated for a moment, and finally gave in.

He really didn't dare to try. He had sons and daughters, and if he angered Chen Jialuo, he wouldn't have a good life.

This is just a job; there's no reason to involve my family.

Qin Fengyuan slowly sat down in the chair. Chen Jialuo's lips curled into a barely perceptible smile. The feeling of having the upper hand was truly exhilarating. What was the head of the action support team anyway? He was still licking Qin Fengyuan's toes.

Li Feng sat down next to Qin Fengyuan, and Chen Jialuo ordered breakfast, saying, "While we're waiting, let's eat something."

On the table were eggs, porridge, beef, steamed buns, and various other foods, tempting the taste buds.

Chen Jialuo is a hedonist who demands the best in everything he eats, wears, lives, and travels. Only in this way can he feel that his hard work is worthwhile.

"No need," Qin Fengyuan said calmly.

Chen Jialuo called out to Li Feng, "Li sir, Qin sir isn't giving you face, aren't you going to give him face?"

Li Feng glanced at Chen Jialuo, then at Qin Fengyuan, and plopped down. "I haven't had breakfast yet."

As he spoke, he picked up a meat bun and started eating it, saying how delicious it was.

"The filling is overflowing, with a perfect balance of lean and fatty meat. It's a really good bun. Sir, why don't you sit down and have some? You must be starving if you don't eat now that you've been busy all this time."
