Chapter 512 Zhao Family’s Worry
At 2:20 in the morning, only half an hour from the time the case occurred, the military police had found the suspect Jingang .
Jingang, formerly known as Jin Tiecheng, was 39 years old this year . Since he was burly, had outstanding hard Qigong, and was particularly capable of fighting, he was called Jingang .
He was a retired soldier . After leaving the army, he did not take the job allocated to him by the organization . Instead, he took the resettlement fee to Yan Jing, hoping to make a great achievement there .
Although he fought exceptionally well, had a staunch character, and was generous in aiding needy people, he was not good at doing business, so he used up the resettlement fee soon and changed his character in the complicated society .
A great retired soldier, who abandoned his faith and ideals of defending the country for the sake of living, had become a full-time thug . As long as he could get money, he would teach the target person a lesson according to the requirements of the employer .
After learning that what he did had been found, he drove a Tiguan to crazily run away, attempting to leave the capital . On the highway, he launched a speed battle with the military police officers working to capture him .
At 2:35 in the morning, the Tiguan Jingang was driving suddenly exploded while being chased, detonating a police car close behind . The aftermath of the explosion left three pursuers seriously injured and hospitalized, and two police officers and an armed police officer died bravely .
Did the gunman explode himself for dreading the punishment for his crime or was he murdered by the criminal behind the scenes?
The special investigation team conducted a deep investigation—they examined the wreckage of the car and investigated all the people Jingang had contacted within a week before his case happened .
At 5:30 in the morning, after a technical repair, the recovered data in the remains of Jingang’s mobile phone showed that he received a call more than 10 minutes before the case occurred .
By investigating the identity of the phone number owner, the team soon confirmed that the owner was Zhao Zifeng of Shengzeyuan . After they interrogated him overnight, the latter finally broke down and confessed to the fact that he had asked Jingang to teach Ding Ning a lesson, but insisted that he had only wanted Jingang to teach Ding Ning a lesson and never had the wish to kill him .
As for the reason why Jingang had crazily used a sniper rifle to kill Ding Ning against his will, he was confused .
It seemed that the case had already come to light . The cause of it was that Zhao Zifeng was jealous of Ding Ning because of love and hatred, and then he hired Jingang to teach him a lesson . This was quite common in Yan Jing’s circles, and it was very logical .
But Mr . Liao, the deputy leader of the special investigation team in charge of the case and the director of the Criminal Investigation Department of the Ministry of National Public Security, did not think that it was so simple . In his view, there might be someone else behind the scenes, who had bought Jingang in advance and taken Zhao Zifeng as a scapegoat .

For this reason, the members of the special investigation team hurried to Yan Jing Hotel early in the morning and specially asked the litigant Ding Ning if he had a feud with others .
Ding Ning was depressed, claiming that he had come to Yan Jing for the first time and could not have any enemies, and now he even did not know why Zhao Zifeng had targeted him .
Director Liao returned without getting any clues and took the Yan Family’s grandfather and his son and grandson who had been humiliated by Ding Ning as suspects .
At this moment, the technicians, who had had been working all night, got the identification result of the car explosion: The car was installed with a time bomb in advance, and Jingang did not explode himself for dreading the punishment for his crime .
This result invigorated all the investigators and indirectly proved that Director Liao’s guess was correct: Someone else was the real criminal behind the scenes .
After questioning the Yan Family’s grandfather and his son and grandson, the special investigation team ruled out the possibility of their committing the crime . Yan Hao was a lunatic, Yan Xun fell ill, and Yan Ping, who had been taking care of them at home, had never left their house or made a call, so there was no condition for him to buy Jingang .
The ownership of the Tiguan that had exploded had been clearly investigated . It was Jingang’s car, but they had not found a clue about the person who had installed the time bomb in advance . The person behind the scenes had a strong anti-reconnaissance ability and cleaned the traces very carefully, making the whole case enter a deadlock . Therefore, the members of the special investigation team had to investigate all those who had recently interacted with Jingang and look for suspects from them .
In the conference room of the Zhao Family’s courtyard, an extremely handsome middle-aged man in his 40s or 50s sat sullen-faced on the head seat, and the dozens of direct descendants of the Zhao Family sat on both sides of the conference table in fear and did not even dare to breathe heavily .
Zhao Tiankai, who looked pale and restless as Zhao Zifeng’s father, wanted to ask the head of the family to rescue Zhao Zifeng very much, but seeing Zhao Tianya’s ice-cold face, he remembered that in order to push Zhao Zifeng to the family head’s position, he had rivaled against Zhao Tianya openly and secretly many times . At this time, if the latter did not try to do more harm, he was good enough . So, how could he go and rescue his son? Zhao Tiankai moved his lips for a long time, but did not say anything, and bowed his head dejectedly .
This was about his son’s future and life, and Zhao Tiankai’s hair turned white overnight because he had been anxious . Now, he was hanging his head, bearing the unfriendly gazes of all the people of his clan . He looked so pathetic .
When he saw his third brother Zhao Tiankai’s gray hair, Zhao Tianya suppressed his fury and could not help heaving a light sigh, having sympathy for him . “After all, you are my brother!”
In the past, Zhao Tiankai had been supporting Zhao Zifeng to compete for the family head’s position with Zhao Zilong and rebutted him many times with insolent remarks, and their relationship seemed extremely bad, but in fact, he did not treat his brother as his enemy as his brother thought .
As the leader of the Zhao Family, if he had no such tolerance, he did not deserve to be the head of the family . More importantly, the situation was made by him .

It is absolutely impossible for a family to only depend on one person, and no one is perfect . Even Zhao Tianya could not maintain the whole family with his personal strength . Only when every one of his clan worked together could they jointly make the family grow .
So, the reason why Zhao Zifeng could come out to compete with Zhao Zilong was the result of his constant tacit consent, for he wanted to give Zhao Zilong pressure, so that he would have the sense of urgency and did not dare to slack off at all .
To be frank, he just used Zhao Zifeng to make Zhao Zilong more excellent, but it was funny that Zhao Tiankai did think that Zhao Zifeng was so excellent and always behaved arrogantly, and he disliked it very much .
In the blink of an eye, he made a decision and sighed lightly . “Third Brother, Zifeng acted too recklessly this time, and we have no proper reason to do anything . ”
Zhao Tiankai looked up at him in amazement . Zhao Tianya had never called him third brother for so many years since he became the head of the family . When he heard it at this moment, he even wanted to cry .
His eyes turned slightly red, his lips trembled a few times, and the title he had not called for more than 20 years came out of his mouth instantly . “First Brother, you must rescue Zifeng!”
“Alas! I also want to save him, but this incident is too influential, and even those bosses have been alarmed . Now, I still don’t know if it will affect our Zhao family . It’s not suitable for us to do anything now . ”
Zhao Tianya sighed faintly and pointed upward, his eyebrows full of helplessness .
The Zhao Family had been in rapid development in recent years . Many of the family members held high positions in the political circle, and their network of relationships had been built all over the country, but no one dared to offer a helping hand this time .
After all, using a gun to kill someone in Yan Jing had seriously challenged the limit of tolerance of the state . More seriously, this had alarmed those big bosses . Now, the Zhao Family could not even protect themselves, and their fate was hard to predict .
Besides, so many people in Yan Jing were now still eying the Zhao Family, hoping to watch the fun . Once the Zhao Family took action, the news would reach the ears of the big bosses soon . This was not good for the Zhao Family .
“But Zifeng is my son, First Brother! I can’t just… sit and watch… him die!”
Zhao Tiankai said tearfully, for he wanted to influence Zhao Tianya with the ties of kinship and let him lend a helping hand . He also knew that this case was too influential . If Zhao Tianya did not do anything, Zhao Zifeng’s future was ruined .

“Third Brother, it’s not that we don’t want to rescue Zifeng, but that we still don’t know whether the current situation will affect our Zhao Family or not . Zifeng is unfortunate . It’s a pity, but you should focus on the big picture . ”
As Fifth Brother of the second generation of the Zhao Family, Zhao Tianfeng said worriedly, but the light in his eyes showed that he took pleasure in the misfortune .
“Humph, Zhao Tiankai, by relying on the situation that Zhao Zifeng is valued by the clan, you don’t take the other branches of the family seriously . You also have such a day! You deserve the bad luck!”
“Right, Third Brother, this trouble was made by Zifeng . A man should take responsibility for what he does . You can’t lose the greater for the less and get the family involved!”
Fourth Brother Zhao Tianci said sarcastically . Among the five brothers in the second generation of the Zhao Family, apart from the family head Zhao Tianya of the top branch, Zhao Tiankai of the third branch was usually the most arrogant among the other four branches, and they swallowed so much anger in normal times . Zhao Tianfang of the second branch, who held an important position, did not get involved in family disputes at all and always kept a low profile .
Zhao Tiankai was arrogant because he had a good son Zhao Zifeng . In the third generation of the Zhao Family, apart from Zhao Zilong, only Zhao Zifeng had already begun to take over the family business, while their children could not touch the business at all and could only drift along aimlessly, so how could they not be jealous?
As for Zhao Zifeng’s current trouble, they would not do more harm, but they would take the chance to vent anger by making ridicules .
“Enough, Third Brother feels so unwell now, and don’t make any more trouble . Family head, what’s your view on dealing with it properly?”
Zhao Tianfang, who was the second brother of the Zhao Family and held a high position in the government, rarely meddled in the family affairs . If Zhao Tianya had not summoned him urgently, he would not have wanted to care about this wretched business .
As a person with his position in the officialdom, he would have a much longer-term vision compared with these disappointing younger brothers .
According to his understanding of Zhao Zifeng, he knew that this child was a little willful and unruly, but he was never the one who did not know the proper way to act and would never do the stupid thing of shooting someone under the watchful eye of the crowd .
This illogical matter made him think more deeply soon . “Is there someone behind the scenes who planned and boosted this case to let the Zhao Family fall into a deadly trap by taking this chance? If so, the Zhao Family has to move more carefully . ”
When he now saw that his younger brothers were still conducting infighting without caring about the general interest even at this time, he became extremely impatient and could not help scolding them .
Although Zhao Tianfang usually didn’t get himself in the family affairs, he was a representative of the Zhao Family in the political circle, and his prestige was never inferior to that of the family head Zhao Tianya . Therefore, when they heard these words, Zhao Tianci and the others tamely shut their mouths immediately .
Seeing that these brothers all became quiet, Zhao Tianfang frowned and said, “First Brother, I think that Zifeng usually behaves well and would have never done such a brainless thing . Is it that…”
Immediately, Zhao Tianya learned what Zhao Tianfang meant by hearing these words, and a chill appeared and vanished in his eyes . He nodded lightly and sneered . “The Zhao Family has been in rapid development these years and taken too many profits from other families . It seems that these people can’t stand it anymore . ”
Zhao Tiankai and the others were shocked and could no longer care about venting anger, and Zhao Tianci then asked with a frown, “What should we do now?”
“Let’s deal with any problems flexibly . Now, our family is at a critical moment . Tell our subordinates that they should behave themselves during this time . If anyone dares to make any more trouble, I will be the first one to punish him . ”
Zhao Tianya said ferociously . Instantly, everyone shuddered and answered, “Yes . ”
