Chapter 72 Cause of Death

  Suddenly hearing the news of Peng Long's death, Wu Rui was shocked and puzzled, and asked Peng Jing on the ground with some disbelief: "You said your brother died?"

  "You murderer! Stop pretending in front of me! Did you lay a hand on Dragon's body?" Peng Jing roared, questioning.

  "Yes!" This was something Wu Rui could not deny.

  "Are you saying that two days later, Dragon Brother will die of a broken heart?" Peng Jing continued to interrogate.

  "...is what was said." Wu Rui replied truthfully.

  "You... wow! Dragon Brother, you died so miserably! You died so miserably!" Wu Rui's straightforward answer made Peng Jing even more heartbroken and she burst into tears, her eyes streaming like a waterfall. Her helpless appearance was truly heartbreaking, and the good impression Wu Rui had just established began to crumble.

  The three beautiful nurses looked at Wu Rui again, and even their eyes changed.

  "Didn't I tell him to come find me within two days? How come he didn't come to lift the seal?" Wu Rui retorted angrily.

  "I... I don't know! Go ask Dragon Brother!" But unexpectedly, Peng Jing was a scoundrel, and with just one sentence, he left Wu Rui speechless. Ask Peng Long? Are you kidding me? This guy is vicious without even using profanity.

  Wu Rui's mouth twitched, but he didn't bother to argue with him. Instead, he asked: "I said it was a heart attack, actually I just wanted to scare Peng Long, even if he hadn't come for two days, there wouldn't have been any danger to his life. How did he die? Have you checked?"

  "When I saw Dragon Brother, he had already turned into a pile of white ash. You want me to check? Do you want me to scoop it up for you to check?" Peng Jing, filled with anger and sadness, retorted back at Wu Rui like a shrew.

  "Don't make a scene here, if you think Peng Long was killed by me, then go investigate the truth instead of causing trouble for me!" Wu Rui was annoyed, he wasn't afraid of reasoning with her, but this kind of shrewish entanglement, where she wouldn't listen to reason and couldn't be driven away, really gave him a headache.

  "Murderer! You're a murderer!" Peng Jing was scolding non-stop somewhere, completely ignoring Wu Rui's explanations.

  Actually, Peng Jing had also wanted to investigate the matter clearly, but now the Shan Long Gang was not what it used to be. Without his elder brother's support, Peng Jing was nothing in the Shan Long Gang. He called out for help day and night, but no one responded. Just when he was at a loss, he finally found out that Wu Rui had opened a clinic here. With nowhere else to turn, he came here.

  "You..." Wu Rui really wanted to throw this scoundrel into the Goose River to feed the fish, but he also knew that if today's matter wasn't explained clearly, even if there was no evidence to prove that Peng Long was killed by himself, it would still leave a bad reputation. If it were in the past, Wu Rui wouldn't have cared, but now that he had his own clinic, he naturally couldn't do as he pleased.

  Then Wu Rui found Xu Niang's phone number for An Ge and dialed it directly.

  Sitting on the 'throne' of Shanlong Manor, An Ge felt a surge of energy and momentum. He thought back to when he was just a lowly servant standing below, taking orders from others. But today, he had finally risen to this position. To be honest, he still felt grateful to Wu Rui. If Liang Tianlong hadn't died, An Ge would never have had the chance to sit in this seat for his entire life.

  "Ding ding ding......"

  The phone in his pocket suddenly rang, and An Ge slowly took it out to take a look. It was an unfamiliar number. Without thinking, he hung up the call. As the leader of the Shanlong Gang, how could he be easily found? He had to have the demeanor of a gang leader, that's what An Ge thought.

  "Ding ding ding......"

  The phone had just been put down, and soon the ringing sound came again. An Ge didn't mind at all, but was very happy instead. He seemed to have seen the anxious situation on the other end of the call, wasn't this the main attitude of a helper? ... Continued to hang up.

  "Ding ding ding......"

  It wasn't until the third phone call that An Ge finally picked up slowly and calmly asked, "Who is it?"

  He exudes arrogance and complacency, without saying "hello", not even asking "who is it", directly asking "which one", treating people like livestock, truly not ordinary arrogance.

  "...". The other party remained silent for a long time, and just as An Ge felt impatient and wanted to hang up, a gloomy voice suddenly sounded from the receiver: "An Da Tang Zhu, what great official power!"

  "Who are you..." Just as An Ge was about to get angry, he suddenly had an epiphany and stood up from his "throne" with a loud noise. He nodded and bowed repeatedly, saying: "I'm sorry... I apologize, Dr. Wu. I really didn't know it was you. You're a magnanimous person, please don't mind my petty behavior."

  "What? Divine Doctor, you want to investigate how Peng Long died?"

  "......can, of course can, I will definitely investigate the matter as soon as possible and report back to you, Dr. Wu, at the first opportunity."

  "Goodbye, goodbye..." He hung up the phone and felt a layer of cold sweat on his back. An Ge secretly regretted pretending to be tough, almost causing big trouble. Thinking of Wu Rui's unpredictable strength and the death of Liang Tianlong and his son, An Ge's feet felt weak, so he quickly ran to investigate the cause of Peng Long's death.

  The final result came out soon, the madman Liang Tiandragon broke Peng Long's legs and then locked him in the dungeon. Who knew that Wu Rui suddenly appeared and killed him before he could see how the ban on Peng Long's body would react? Two days later, the entire Shandong Gang was in chaos, and no one took care of Peng Long in the dungeon. When An Ge took control and cleaned up the dungeon, Peng Long had already died in the dungeon, possibly starving to death or dying from his wounds due to lack of medical attention... Maybe there were other possibilities, but it's all irrelevant now.

  "Although Dragon Brother wasn't killed by your own hands, if you hadn't laid a hand on him, he wouldn't have died! Wu Rui! Remember this, I, Peng Jing, will come back to settle the score with you one day!" After learning of her brother's cause of death, Peng Jing surprisingly didn't continue to make a fuss or vent her grievances. She left behind only a harsh sentence and picked up her crutch, turning to leave with a gaunt figure that nonetheless gave off an air of strength.

  Wu Rui slightly shook his head, and in his heart, he didn't feel too much guilt. Undoubtedly, Peng Long died unjustly and miserably, but people who are pitied must have a reason to be pitied. This is all about the cycle of cause and effect. Since heaven has already predetermined this outcome, no one can change it.

  But seeing Peng Jing struggling to walk with his back, Wu Rui suddenly instructed Bai Qing behind him: "Bai Qing, go to the warehouse and get a crutch for him!"

  "Ah…… okay, I'll go get it!" Bai Qing was taken aback, but quickly reacted and hurriedly retrieved a new cane from the warehouse in the back. She chased after Peng Jing who had just walked out the door: "Young fellow, take this one!"

  "Scram! I, Peng Jing, don't want your fake sympathy!" Peng Jing, however, was unappreciative and pushed away the crutch that Bai Qing had offered. Bai Qing hadn't expected this and stumbled backwards, almost falling to the ground.

  But Peng Jing wasn't doing well either, after all he was now relying on only half a crutch to support his body, and with this exertion, his body couldn't maintain its balance anymore, with a loud crash he fell to the ground, in pain cold sweat burst out, and another round of wailing began.

  Baizhen was still a bit angry at first, but now seeing this scene she couldn't bear it and once again stretched out her cane saying: "You'd better use this!"

  Peng Jing originally didn't want to, but after struggling for a while, she found it really hard to get up. She glanced at Bai Qing and took the crutches into her hands, limping away from the clinic without saying a word.
