Chapter 769

When Dai Rongpei heard that Li Wanjun had apologized and committed suicide, she felt that the matter was finally settled.

"He's smart enough to admit his guilt and commit suicide, but his family must not be allowed to live."

Even though Li Wanjun was dead, Dai Rongpei had no intention of keeping his family alive.

Previously, it was only to use Li Wanjun and keep his family around, just to bind him.

But now Li Wanjun's family members are of no use anymore.

In order to prevent Xu Tian and his group from obtaining any evidence.

He had to get rid of Li Wanjun's family members immediately.

He then summoned his men.

"you go......"

The subordinate accepted the order.

But before the subordinate could even step out the door, he heard the emperor's summons.

"General, His Majesty summons you to discuss today's hunting itinerary."

Dai Rongpei frowned slightly, but then he felt it was nothing.

With Li Wanjun's death, this matter was effectively brought to a complete close.

No one will point the finger at him anymore.

Because the real murderer is already dead.

There is no evidence that can be found to prove his guilt.

They quickly lowered their guard.

He led his men to Li Er's tent to discuss the hunting.

But to his utter surprise, Xu Tian noticed something amiss.

He then requested permission from Li Er to secretly return to the capital.

He took Claire with him to visit Li Wanjun's home.

They knocked on the door several times, but there was still no response from inside.

Xu Tian sensed something was amiss. It was pretty much what he'd expected.

He kicked the door open, but there was no one left in Li Wanjun's house.

Just as they stepped out the door, they ran into Li Wanjun's neighbor.

Are you here to see the Li family?

Xu Tian nodded.

“We are from out of town, distant relatives of theirs, and we want to come and stay with them.”

You glanced at Xu Tian and the other person, a hint of sympathy on your face.

"You've come at a really bad time. The whole family moved away a few days ago."

Xu Tian was surprised and suspicious.

"They moved away? Do you know where they moved to?"

The neighbors were completely unaware of it.

"We only know that they moved away, but we have no idea where they moved to."

"But they seemed to be in a hurry, as if something had happened."

"I'm afraid I'll have to disappoint you. You've come to seek refuge with your relatives, but they've all already left."

Xu Tian waved his hand and revealed a bitter smile.

All of this is just to deceive the people.

"Thank you, brother. If anyone asks again, please don't say that we've been here."

The older brother looked very suspicious.

Songren went straight over and gave the man a sum of money.

"You should know what to say, right?"

Brother, you quickly nodded, looking like you understood.

"understand."

Songren said directly to the man, "We did come to seek refuge with them, but we encountered some trouble on the way and missed our deadline."

That older brother was clearly a sensible person.

He smiled and nodded, saying to them, "Actually, your family members were taken away by someone. And a lot of people came that day, and none of the neighbors dared to come out. It was just me. I'm a bachelor, so naturally I'm not afraid of anything."

"I saw them being taken away by those fierce-looking men, it seemed like they were going to take them to some kind of manor."

After hearing the man's words, Xu Tian thanked him and turned around to look at the Li residence.

The people inside seemed to be in a hurry to leave.

Even many things were not moved.

Logically speaking, it's impossible for the Li family to move out of their home so suddenly.

Unless something important has happened.

Or perhaps, someone deliberately took them away.
