Tang Fei narrowly escaped death, and Lu Siyu couldn't bring himself to say too many harsh words.

This guy... was once treated like his own younger brother. Although he later realized there were hidden facts, their feelings only deepened.

One doesn't need blood relations to be family.

Having a common hatred counts as well.

Sometimes, the latter is even more intimate.

"Are you hurt?" Lu Siyu asked aloud.

"Yes," Tang Fei replied, "but I've already been treated."

The superficial wounds had already been taken care of by a home medical robot.

As for the internal damage caused by Zhong Daoling, it would take time for recovery.

"Oh," Lu Siyu nodded. He had just come from Sheng Xinhua and naturally could receive good treatment.

Even his clothes had changed; did Sheng Xinhua's home even have his usual attire?

What exactly is their relationship?

And thoughts drifted to Phoenix City where Zhong Yu and Xiu Xue lived...

This is a mess!

Lu Siyu looked at Tang Fei with a worried expression and said, "Since you're worried they've started suspecting us, our fabricated identities are very dangerous... They can arrest us with evidence or without evidence. With the Shen Family's power, no one can balance against them now."

"There's only a thousand days to be a thief, and not a thousand days to guard against one. What's the plan now?"

"In their eyes, we are the thieves, right?"

"..."

"Our identities are already unsafe; we must find a way to leave Phoenix City quickly," Tang Fei said aloud, "However, before leaving, we need Phoenix City to be thrown into chaos."

"How to create chaos?"

"I need you to do something for me."

"What is it?"

"I'll show you something," Tang Fei said.

After thinking for a while, he added, "Forget it, it's better if you don't see it..."

"Why?"

"Not suitable for a girl."

"..."

In front of the small courtyard.

In a secluded alley.

"Did he go back?"

"Report to the captain, he just went back, and the two of them had a fight at the doorway."

"A fight? What happened?"

"The woman asked why he came back so late, why he didn't answer the phone or reply to messages... She even smelled another woman's fragrance on him..."

The middle-aged man's face turned dark, asking aloud, "Is it possible... they are acting?"

"It's uncertain," the subordinate reported, "However, it seemed very real. After entering the house, the two continued to argue, smashing tables, and breaking dishes..."

"By the way, we've recorded their argument on film, please check it, Captain."

"Hmm." The middle-aged man nodded and said, "Send me the surveillance video."

"Yes, Captain."

On the rooftop of an apartment building, a dark figure was observing the scene in the alley through night vision goggles.

Watching their every move.

Like a ghost in the night.

------

Shen Leyou died.

Died with both grandeur and silence.

Only within a certain special group did people know of his existence and how strangely and disgracefully he died.

However, the ordinary public didn't know what had happened.

Although Shen Leyou was also a Shen Family hero, he had gradually receded from public view over the years, as he managed the family's underground forces.

Except for some high-ranking officials and wealthy elites who knew of his horror, most people didn't know much about him.

Originally wanting to be a figure like Shen Boyu, he ended up becoming a dead fish...

However, within the Shen Family, it caused a great uproar.

Even though Shen Wuxiang rushed back personally to mediate and suppress, family tensions increased visibly.

"We can't keep focusing outside; we also need to search inside the house. The most feared is hiding beneath the light, someone crying thief while being a thief themselves," Shen Cong stood in the hall, his face grim as he spoke.

"That's Fengming Palace... Fengming Palace is heavily guarded, and most are Shen Family members... outsiders trying to get in is virtually impossible."

"But, if a family member takes action, then it's much easier. Otherwise, why haven't we found a trace until now?"

"I agree with that. How did Le Wen die? Murdered on his own turf... The Security Bureau found nothing so far, not even a hair."

"So, I also suggest we search inside the house... Maybe the culprit is hiding within our family."

Shen Jianping immediately echoed this sentiment.

Shen Lewen's death was a thorn in his side.

Originally suspecting Shen Leyou was behind Shen Lewen, now with Shen Leyou dead, Shen Cong's words were barbed, and naturally, they didn't tolerate him.

Otherwise, people might genuinely suspect it was them.

"Shen Jianping, don't be sarcastic... The truth will eventually come to light," Bai Suzhi, unable to hold back, responded upon understanding Shen Jianping's insinuations.

"Is the Shen Family hall a place for you to speak?" Shen Jianping angrily shouted.

"Shen Jianping, don't exert your authority over women... Suzhi married into the Shen Family, making her one of us. Everyone can speak within the Shen Family."

"Since Third Uncle says so, then I'd also like to ask..." Chen Ting, Shen Jianping's wife, stepped forward to support him, "Le Wen was harmed, we didn't accuse you, but now Leyou is gone, and you suspect us?"

"Haven't you accused us? Almost ready to point blades at our necks."

"That's your guilty conscience."

"You're the ones with a guilty conscience."

Bam!

Shen Wuxiang slammed his palm down, and the ancient sandalwood tea table next to him instantly shattered into powder.

"What's the noise? Do you take us for dead?" Shen Wuxiang's voice thundered, reverberating in everyone's hearts.

"Uncle, you need to stand up for our Le Wen."

"Uncle, Leyou died unjustly... Please help us find the murderer, otherwise the child will not rest in peace."

"I said, I would personally take charge of this matter and thoroughly investigate it," Shen Wuxiang roared, "But what are you doing? Suspecting each other, slandering each other, brothers turning against each other... Aren't you afraid of being laughed at if this gets out?"

"..."

Shen Cong and Shen Jianping remained silent; they didn't dare directly refute Shen Wuxiang, but each harbored different thoughts.

Their son was dead; how could they not be anxious?

"Shen Cong, do you have evidence that Leyou was killed by Shen Jianping?"

"... No," Shen Cong replied.

"Shen Jianping, do you have evidence that Le Wen was killed by Shen Cong?"

"No..."

"Then where does your hatred come from, and what are you biting at each other about?"

"..."

"Wuxiang, we can't keep going like this," Shen Boyu sighed lightly, knowing that if the real culprit behind these two cases wasn't found soon, the Shen Family would start fighting internally. "After investigating for so long, is there anyone suspicious?"

"The Tang Family remnants," Shen Wuxiang gritted his teeth as he spoke.
