Strongest Soldier

After leaving the headquarters, Lee Hongtian thought for a bit, then decided to go to Shangguan Family.    

    

It was not that he, the murderer, would have to feign respect in memory of Shangguan Qiong and Shangguan Heeyan. It was just that Shangguan Yingfei had not thanked them properly for protecting her mother and sister's injuries.    

    

Although Elder Ji had been asked to help investigate, if Shangguan Yingfei knew something, then it would be a good choice for both sides to work together.    

    

In the car, Lee Hongtian told Ye Guloong to send over the address of Shangguan Family, and he quickly arrived at the address.    

    

It had to be said that the Shangguan Family was indeed worthy of being a large clan of the Yanjing City.    

    

But strangely, the Shangguan Family's gate was wide open, and there was not a single person who had never looked outside. Only the two white lanterns in front of the gate seemed especially desolate.    

    

Lee Hongtian strode through the gate and followed the stone road inside. When he passed by those rooms, the door was also open. Inside was a mess, as if someone had just looted the room.    

    

This caused Lee Hongtian to be extremely suspicious. Even if Shangguan Qiong died, his Shangguan Family shouldn't be in such a state. Could it be that there was really someone who dared to come and take note of Shangguan Family?    

    

With these questions, he unknowingly arrived at the main hall.    

    

The main house was also open. Looking from the outside, there were two urns in the hall, surrounded by white canvas. It was obvious that the hall was used as a mourning hall.    

    

However, this mourning hall was unusually cold. In front of the two urns, there was only a figure kneeling on the ground with his back towards Lee Hongtian, burning paper for the two dead people.    

    

From the view of his back, this person should be Shangguan Yingfei. It was just that Lee Hongtian did not expect that Shangguan Qiong, who was almighty in his previous life, would only have one ghost soul afterwards.    

    

Lee Hongtian carried the things he bought on the way and walked in. At the same time, he called out: "Miss Shangguan?"    

    

Shangguan Yingfei heard about the business and turned around. She was slightly stunned when she saw Lee Hongtian, then trotted over and knelt at the door. Dong dong dong dong. Lee Hongtian couldn't even stop her from kowtowing three times.    

    

After that, Shangguan Yingfei stood up and took the item from Lee Hongtian. She then said, "This is a custom of our family. During the wake, if anyone comes to offer their condolences, they must kowtow three times in gratitude."    

    

"So that's how it is. However..."    

    

Lee Hongtian looked around and found that these white banners were all just ordinary white cloth. It was obvious that they were pulled up temporarily, and when he thought about what he saw when he entered the door, he immediately asked, "I was walking around just now, why didn't I see anyone? Logically speaking, your father should have quite a few friends … "    

    

"Hehe, friend?" Shangguan Yingfei suddenly laughed, then looked at Lee Hongtian and said, "To be honest, when I came back, my family had all run away, and my father's body was handed to me by the police after being cremated. As for those so-called friends of yours, I haven't seen any of them.    

    

"How is this possible?"    

    

Lee Hongtian was surprised and immediately understood that it wasn't that Shangguan Family had been stolen, it was probably because his family took the things with them when they left.    

    

"Actually, I had already expected that such a day would come, when father disliked everyone and only wanted profits, he did not have any friends. Now that he's dead, all the servants in the family, including their relatives, are dead, I'm afraid that you would cause trouble for them, so I've long since run away. Now in the entire Shangguan Family, I'm the only one left."    

    

Lee Hongtian was speechless. He thought, "No one would be able to make Shangguan Qiong into such a state."    

    

However, he noticed that although Shangguan Yingfei seemed very indifferent when she spoke, her eyes were red. She must have accumulated a lot of grievances and yet was unable to vent them out.    

    

In the end, Lee Hongtian couldn't bear it anymore and after hesitating for a while, he asked: "You... Are you all right? "    

    

"You mean hate you or not?"    

    

Shangguan Yingfei looked at Lee Hongtian again, her eyes still as indifferent as before. She gave Lee Hongtian a big smile, then said, "What can I hate about you? "Shangguan Heeyan, he was sent to the Heavenly Jade Mountain since he was young. I don't even have any memories of him, so there's no need to talk about feelings. Now that I'm guarding his spirit, it's just doing my duty."    

    

"As for Shangguan Qiong? To be honest, I don't even know how I felt about him. When I found out about his death, I was at a loss and a little sad. It wasn't you who did it, it was him who committed suicide. In the end, I can only attribute it to one word: He deserves it! "    

    

"Then what are you going to do next?" Lee Hongtian felt that the atmosphere was a little heavy and immediately changed the topic.    

    

"What else can we do? When the wake up time is over, find someone else to borrow money and bury them both in the ground. "    

    

"It can't be, you are the grand young miss of Shangguan Family, do you still need to borrow this little bit of money?" Lee Hongtian was shocked once again.    

    

However, Shangguan Yingfei rolled her eyes and said: "Previously, when I escaped from the Shangguan Family, Shangguan Qiong had already frozen all of my account cards, and now that he's dead, those assets have already been transferred away by other people. If it wasn't for the land deed, I'm afraid this entire courtyard would have been sold by them too.    

    

Lee Hongtian was shocked. He never expected Shangguan Yingfei to be in such a difficult situation. Recalling that Shangguan Yingfei had once helped him protect his mother and little sister, he couldn't help but feel guilty.    

    

Thinking for a moment, Lee Hongtian said, "Although they brought this upon themselves, you were injured for my mother and sister. If you have any difficulties, feel free to tell me."    

    

"Really?" Shangguan Yingfei's eyes lit up.    

    

Lee Hongtian's heart skipped a beat as he thought of something. He hurriedly added, "Except being my girlfriend."    

    

She looked at him helplessly and said in a speechless manner, "You are really cautious. Forget it, I won't tease you anymore. If you really want to help, then help me sell this house. I don't want to live here anymore anyway, so I don't want to make things difficult by selling it."    

    

"You want to buy a house?" Lee Hongtian frowned.    

    

"What? Can't do it?"    

    

"It's not that it's impossible, but in the end, this was passed down from the generations of your Shangguan Family, would it be a pity to sell it?"    

    

"What's a pity? A family's rise and fall, I don't know how many families have changed hands before finally falling into our Shangguan Family, since I don't have the ambition to revive the family's glory, if I don't sell it, could I keep it for moldy?"
