Chapter 169: Chapter 169: The Murderer

"What?" Wei Meizi’s face was full of disbelief.

Fang Zhengping said seriously, "Meizi, I can only think of this one solution! No matter how close our relationship is, as long as we are not a family, I have no reason to go against the wishes of those above us!"

Wei Meizi’s face was complex, as if weighing something.

Fang Zhengping grabbed Wei Meizi’s hand with his other hand, "Meizi, it’s been so many years, I think you should understand my feelings for you! Twelve years have passed, and I’ve waited for you for twelve years! Now, you should also step out of the shadows of the past and start living the life you want!"

Wei Meizi exerted a little strength but did not pull her hand away.

"Brother Fang, don’t be like this!" Wei Meizi softly said, "My heart is in turmoil right now, I don’t know what to do!"

Fang Zhengping looked at Wei Meizi with intense eyes, "Meizi, trust me, I can give you happiness! As long as you marry me, even if I have to use all of Fang Family’s power, I will protect Flame Hall!"

Wei Meizi hesitated for a moment and then whispered, "But Brother Fang, you already have a wife!"

Fang Zhengping was taken aback, then laughed heartily and said, "I thought you were worried about something else! Rest assured, in our elite circles, what is there to taking two or three wives? Moreover, I promise that once you join our family, you will be treated the same as your sister, I will definitely take great care of you!"

Wei Meizi exhaled and looked at Fang Zhengping with a complex expression, "Brother Fang, let me think about it properly. My heart is in turmoil right now, I cannot give you an answer at the moment!"

Fang Zhengping released her hand and spoke softly, "Don’t worry, I won’t pressure you! I understand that making this request now is difficult for you. I’ve already waited for these twelve years, and I don’t mind waiting a little longer! Rest assured, I will always be waiting for you!"

Wei Meizi took a deep breath and said with emotion, "Brother Fang, thank you!"

Fang Zhengping, after all, was the Family Head of the Fang Family and could not stay long, so after their conversation, it was time for him to leave!

Once he left, the fragile look on Wei Meizi’s face instantly vanished, replaced by an expression of coldness and gloom!

She casually took out a wet towel, vigorously wiped her hand, then threw it into the trash can.

"Hmph, planning to loot a burning house? Fang Zhengping, you are really underestimating me, Black Widow!" Wei Meizi said coldly, "It seems you deliberately kept information from me before. Well, that’s fine, at least it allowed me to see your true face!"

Sitting alone on the sofa, Wei Meizi furrowed her brows, deeply in thought.

"The current situation is very unfavorable!" Wei Meizi pondered, "With United Hearts Gang and Taizi Club jointly suppressing us, and Fang Zhengping’s betrayal, Flame Hall is in a very critical state. Now, where does the key to breaking the game lie?"

Murmuring to herself and organizing the entire situation, Wei Meizi realized it was worse than she had anticipated, and couldn’t help but sigh.

Knock, knock, knock! At that moment, there was a knock at the door.

"Come in!" Wei Meizi’s face regained its calm expression as she spoke indifferently.

A female bodyguard walked in and whispered in Wei Meizi’s ear, "Lady, we’ve found that person!"

"Found him?" Excitement flitted across Wei Meizi’s face, "Are you telling the truth?"

The bodyguard nodded, "Yes, it’s him! We’ve confirmed his identity after comparisons from multiple sources!"

Ever since the big wedding day twelve years ago, when joy turned to tragedy, Wei Meizi had never stopped searching for the real culprit!

There were far too many doubts concerning the car accident back then; judging from the surveillance footage at the time, it looked like a premeditated murder! However, the driver died at the scene, and after the police investigated, they concluded the driver was driving under the influence!

But Wei Meizi had never believed this conclusion! She had found through other means that two hours prior, the driver had secretly met with a man, and that man was also not far from the scene of the accident. But since then, the man had completely disappeared!

Wei Meizi felt that this man was highly suspicious, so for these twelve years she kept searching. Now that there was a clue, Wei Meizi felt an uncontrollable excitement in her heart!

"Alright, I want to see who the mastermind behind the scenes is!" Wei Meizi said through gritted teeth, "Where are they?"

"They’re under our surveillance. To avoid alerting them, we haven’t made our move lightly!" the bodyguard said.

"You’ve done well," praised Wei Meizi, "Bring the person to me right away... no, I’ll go see for myself!"

Wrapping herself in a trench coat, Wei Meizi strode confidently ahead!

After searching for twelve years for the mastermind behind the murder, Wei Meizi’s heart was filled with rage and murderous intent!

An hour later, a sleek black Cayenne stopped in a neighborhood.

Wei Meizi and a group of bodyguards got out.

"Lady!" Recognizing Wei Meizi, a Flame Hall member hurriedly came forward to greet her.

Wei Meizi’s face was almost frozen with cold rage: "Where are they?"

"Third floor, unit 301!"

Wei Meizi looked around the aging neighborhood, noting its years of wear. She straightened her clothes, then made her way towards the third floor.

Thump, thump, thump! Standing at the door of unit 301, Wei Meizi knocked firmly.

"Who is it?" A middle-aged woman’s voice came from within, followed by the inner door of the security door opening to reveal a middle-aged woman with a weathered complexion.

A hint of surprise and uncertainty crossed the middle-aged woman’s face: "Who are you..."

Wei Meizi couldn’t be bothered to explain: "Open up!"

One of her bodyguards stepped forward with a Short Dagger in hand, and with a chop, the lock of the security door clattered to the floor!

"You..." The middle-aged woman was startled.

Wei Meizi looked at her coldly: "If you scream again, I’ll cut out your tongue!"

The middle-aged woman quickly covered her mouth, her eyes flashing with fear.

"Where are they?" Wei Meizi entered, glanced around the spartan room, and couldn’t help but ask.

Her bodyguard pointed to an inner room: "In there!"

At that moment, the middle-aged woman rushed up desperately: "Please, don’t, I beg you, spare us!"

Wei Meizi gave the middle-aged woman a cold look and with a flick of her leg, flung her aside: "Keep an eye on her. I’ll go take a look!"

Saying this, Wei Meizi kicked open the inner door and walked in!

As she entered, Wei Meizi’s face instantly darkened. In the room, a gaunt man lay on the bed with his eyes closed. His vitality was so weak that he didn’t react at all to Wei Meizi’s forced entry.

Looking around the room, a photo on the table caught Wei Meizi’s eye. It depicted a man in a coat smiling—the very man from the surveillance footage years ago!

"Father, is it your spirit in heaven that has finally led me to this murderer?" Wei Meizi trembled, her face showing a pained expression.
