Chapter 1013: A Weapon is Only as Good as It’s Wielder

Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

No, no, no... stay calm... Zhao Yu thought to himself. He had initially planned to ask the driver to go faster so he could save Miao Ying. Thinking about it though, the situation was unclear and he might simply have been overthinking everything.

If Cheng Lingfei and Jiang Ke were connected, and she was the mastermind who had used Jiang Ke’s robberies to manipulate the market, where was the proof? There wasn’t a single piece of evidence!

Zhao Yu had already ransacked Jiang Ke’s hideout and, other than the cello, he hadn’t been able to find a link between the two. If Cheng Lingfei was indeed behind this, she would have nothing to be afraid of. So why was she so willing to reveal her identity?

All of this was just speculation and he couldn’t be completely sure. What if Cheng Lingfei was simply very good at timing the market, or all of those were just family businesses? If he really wanted to link her investments to Jiang Ke’s robberies, he would need time to analyze the data!

Calm down, I have to be calm! Zhao Yu reminded himself. The direr the situation, the more important it was that he stayed calm and analyzed the situation accurately to plan his moves accordingly. Thinking about this, he ignored the urge he felt to call Miao Ying and continued looking through Cheng Lingfei’s files.

He initially thought that Cheng Lingfei had been born with a silver spoon in her mouth and had merely inherited all of her assets, but she truthfully had led an eventful life. Even more eventful than most dramas!

Cheng Lingfei’s father was a big name in the cultivation of Meng Xiang Town. While he was extremely rich, he was also promiscuous. Cheng Lingfei was a child born from her father’s mistress. She had two elder brothers and one elder sister, but none of them were related by blood. When Wu Fangfang had scolded Cheng Lingfei for being a b*stard child, she wasn’t lying. Since Cheng Lingfei was beautiful and had the disposition of a princess, her father doted on her and she led a good, happy life that continued into her teenage years.

According to the data, not only was Cheng Lingfei pretty, she was smart as well. Her grades had been excellent. She wasn’t just your typical good student! From elementary school to high school, she was always at the top of her class and was renowned by the whole of Gao Lanqi. Teachers even recommended that she skip grades, as they believed some classes were a waste of her time.

Back then, everybody believed that with her grades, Cheng Lingfei could apply to any university she wanted. However, because she loved music and had trained under a famous musician since she was young, she ignored everyone’s objections and entered the famous Bei Fang Music School. Cheng Lingfei was no ordinary girl. Even in music school her grades far surpassed anyone else’s.

Around the time she was in music school, her life was derailed. Her father suddenly fell ill and ultimately passed away. Because his death was so sudden, there was no will set to handle the inheritance. Just like most dramas, an inevitable war over the inheritance broke out and changed her life.

Reality was much crueler than what was shown in dramas. Because she did not have a proper title, Cheng Lingfei and her mother did not inherit anything and she was thrown out of the house by her siblings. They hadn’t even allowed her to bring her cello with her! After that, nobody knew what happened to Cheng Lingfei. Everyone thought she would return to school and enter a music-related occupation, living a normal life. But everyone was wrong. It wasn’t long before Cheng Lingfei re-emerged, giving up her music career and starting a farm just like her father.

Just like in a fantasy novel, Cheng Lingfei’s life had begun coming up roses, starting with her farm. Her business expanded and she was able to buy many more farms. During that time, she even dabbled in investing and made huge profits in multiple industries!

Cheng Lingfei was out for blood. A few years later, she tried acquiring her siblings’ businesses and pressured them relentlessly. It wasn’t long before they succumbed. Not only did Cheng Lingfei acquire her father’s company, she even fought for her father’s assets and managed to regain the old house. Of course, this included her favorite cello!

Still, Cheng Lingfei’s thirst for revenge wasn’t satiated. In that short amount of time, her siblings were forced into bankruptcy and were left at their wits’ end. Her eldest brother was forced to leave town, her second brother committed suicide, and her sister became deranged and ended up in a mental hospital. After that, Cheng Lingfei, who had acquired control of the Cheng family, spiraled out of control. Her trades and investments skyrocketed and she became the multi-millionaire that she was today.

Looking at the information on the computer, Zhao Yu did not feel like her story was that far-fetched. On the contrary, he actually felt relieved. He could use this information to his advantage! Zhao Yu’s heart began to pound wildly as his excitement grew.

In television dramas, there was nothing better than revenge plots! Zhao Yu couldn’t help but begin to connect the dots. He knew how the world worked. There was no way a woman who simply played cello would be capable of all of this without resorting to illegal means. It was true that Cheng Lingfei was clever, and that someone clever could probably start their own business and end up relatively successful. But, becoming this successful in such a short time was next to impossible!

The way Cheng Lingfei treated her siblings, if it hadn’t involved underhanded methods, how else would she have achieved it? That meant something was definitely fishy about her! She wasn’t just vindictive, she also harbored a deep-seated resentment because of her love-hate relationship with Wu Fangfang. Most importantly, she was smart! Not just smart, but extraordinarily smart!

Zhao Yu was reminded of what the demon Han Kuan had personally said to him. “Believe me, Officer Zhao. Jiang Ke doesn’t look smart enough to carry out those well-planned robberies. There’s definitely someone else involved,” he had told Zhao Yu.

Jiang Ke... robberies... mastermind... oh my God! As he thought about it, he quickly unlocked his phone and retrieved the information Li Luoyun had sent him. Jiang Ke’s robbery blueprints appeared on his phone screen. That’s right! Zhao Yu couldn’t breathe properly. He had already found the problem earlier, but he hadn’t thought about it properly. Jiang Ke’s blueprints were all photocopied!

The robbery plans were found in Jiang Ke’s files inside the safe. If they were compiled by him, why were they photocopied? Where were the originals? D*mn it... Zhao Yu could feel his blood pressure rising. He remembered the conversation Jiang Ke and Tian Xudong had at the seafood market. Tian Xudong had mentioned that the mystery man used Zhao Yu’s relatives to pressure him. It was too despicable of an act, so he suspected the mystery man was not the typical mafia man. Even though Wu Fusheng was merciless, he wouldn’t go to such lengths.

Also, something about the mystery man sounded suspicious. Jiang Ke had mentioned it before, he realized that the way the mystery man spoke, he sounded like a woman!
