How could the person be a man?
Lu Fei and the others, hiding in the corner of the office, could hardly believe their eyes.
Could it be that Lin Han's charm is so great that even men can't resist it?
"A... Amitabha! Amitabha!" Ku Deng kept chanting the Buddha's name silently to calm the storm in his heart.
The man sneaked into Lin Han's office, without turning on the lights, only using a dim flashlight.
He found the location of the desk with great familiarity, opened the drawer, and began searching anxiously.
Soon, he found a sachet and let out a long sigh of relief, about to leave with it.
At this moment, the lights in the office suddenly turned on, and Lu Fei and the others emerged from the darkness.
"Brother Jie, how could it be you?!"
Seeing the face clearly, Lin Chen, who was blocking the door, shouted in disbelief.
"It's not me!"
The man was greatly startled by the sudden turn of events and covered his face in panic.
However, it was of no use.
Lin Chen recognized him at a glance.
"Brother Jie, what do you have in your hand?"
The man hurriedly hid the sachet behind his back.
Ku Deng looked at the man with surprise, feeling that he was far from the image he had in mind.
He was also a young man, around the same age as Lin Han, but looked quite ordinary, with a honest and simple appearance.
"Liu Jie!"
Lin's father also recognized this person and rushed forward to grab him by the collar, interrogating him angrily.
"Is it you? Is it you?"
"Xiao Han treated you as his best brother, and we also regarded you as half a son. Why, why did you harm him?"
"I didn't! Uncle Lin, I didn't....." the young man named Liu Jie denied in panic.
"Do you still want to deny it! What do you have in your hand? If you didn't harm my brother, why did you come to the office?"
Lin Chen seized Liu Jie and snatched the sachet from his hand.
"My brother was so good to you, even giving you half of the company. How could you use such a dirty thing to harm him, are you even human?"
Father and son were both extremely agitated, holding onto Liu Jie, wishing to avenge Lin Han on the spot.
It wasn't that kind of relationship after all.
Ku Deng breathed a sigh of relief, then shook his head.
"Manager Lu, who would have thought that the one who took such extreme action was not a girl enamored with Donor Lin Han, but his good friend. What kind of grudge or grievance is this?"
This twist was indeed unexpected.
"Just as Master said, one may know a person's face but not their heart." Lu Fei squinted, examining Liu Jie.
This man looked honest, but he had a pair of sanbai eyes (eyes with a lot of white showing).
However, he didn't look like a practitioner of magic.
"My brother was killed by this sachet. Only the murderer would want to take it away. Now that we have caught you red-handed, do you still refuse to admit it?"
"I..." Facing the accusation, Liu Jie's pupils flickered, and he seemed unable to speak, "Someone asked me to get it for her."
"Who?"
"I, I can't say." Liu Jie stammered.
"You can't say, huh? It's clearly you!"
"Animal!"
The Lin father and son would not believe otherwise, already convinced that it was Liu Jie who did it. They raised their fists to strike.
"Gentlemen, calm down," Lu Fei stepped forward to dissuade them, "What's most important now is to let Lin Han rest in peace. First, find out what curse he cast on Lin Han. Then we can settle the accounts later."
"Manager Lu is right. Layman Lin Han is in pain, and everyone is suffering with him. We should first help him find peace," Kudeng also tried to persuade them.
The father and son took a few breaths and calmed down slightly, staring at Liu Jie with intense hatred.
"Tell us, what exactly did you do to my brother?"
"I don't know, I really didn't do it..."
However, Liu Jie hung his head, still persistently denying it.
"Are you going to speak!" Unable to bear it any longer, Lin's father slapped him hard.
The slap sent Liu Jie stumbling, and his face instantly swelled on one side.
"Are you going to talk?"
Liu Jie covered his face, a flash of hatred in his eyes. He swallowed and said coldly, "I can take you to find the person, but don't regret it!"
"You still dare to pretend..." Lin's father raised his fist.
"Mr. Lin, please wait a moment."
Ku Deng felt something was off. Who would use such a ridiculous excuse to defend themselves?
There might be some hidden circumstances.
But he was uncertain and looked at Lu Fei.
Lu Fei nodded.
So he said to Lin's father, "Mr. Lin, heaven has a benevolent nature. Why not give him a chance? If we make a mistake, there will still be room for reconciliation."
"Since the master has spoken, I will give you a chance! Take us to find the person now! If you try any tricks, I'll beat you to death! My son is already dead, so don't think I won't dare!"
Lin's father gritted his teeth, his eyes red with anger.
"Don't regret it!"
Liu Jie muttered, leading everyone towards the exit.
On the way.
Lu Fei suddenly stopped in his tracks.
"Manager Lu, what's wrong?" Kudeng looked at him curiously.
"Nothing, my shoelace is loose."
Lu Fei squatted down, pretended to tighten a non-existent shoelace, glanced behind him, and quickly withdrew his gaze.
Then, with a composed expression, he caught up with the others.
Soon, they arrived at the residential area where the Lin family lived.
"Isn't this our place?"
Standing at the entrance, Lin Chen's face was full of shock.
"Liu Jie, what exactly do you want to do?"
"Didn't you want to know who cast the spell? Then go upstairs!" Liu Jie sneered and walked into the building where the Lin family lived.
The expressions on the faces of the father and son from the Lin family both turned very grim.
"Manager Lu." Ku Deng whispered in Lu Fei's ear, "I heard that Lin Mother is Donor Lin Han's stepmother. Could it be her... Oh, the sin, a monk should not gossip..."
"Is that so." Lu Fei narrowed his eyes without commenting.
In the end, Liu Jie really stopped in front of the Lin family's door.
"The person you are looking for is inside."
Father and son exchanged a glance, and despite the familiarity of the door, they hesitated to enter.
"Liu Jie, you did this on purpose! Are you playing us?" Lin Chen grabbed Liu Jie's collar.
"Won't you know once you go in and ask?" Liu Jie looked at him calmly.
"Chen, open the door." Lin's father took a deep breath.
"Dad, how can you believe him..."
"Open the door!"
Lin Chen opened the door, trembling.
Hearing the commotion, Lin's mother immediately came out of the bedroom.
"You're back, how did it go?"
Lin's father stared intently at his wife: "Is there anything you want to say?"
"What?"
Lin's mother was full of confusion.
"How exactly did Xiao Han die?"
"What do you mean? How would I know... What are you up to now..."
The couple started arguing again, putting Lin Chen in a difficult position caught between them.
"Could it really be her?" Ku Deng shook his head and sighed.
But Lu Fei didn't say anything, just glanced at Liu Jie.
Liu Jie was standing by the shoe cabinet at the door, hands in his pockets, his face hidden in the shadows, lost in thought.
"You all just bully me! I'll kill you!"
After a few more heated words, Mother Lin suddenly seemed to be triggered, rushing into the kitchen, grabbing a kitchen knife, and swinging it wildly at Father Lin.
