101: He Na and Zhang Qiang

The middle-aged man frowned, glanced at Qin Chen, and said coldly, "Kid, why are you blocking our way?"

Qin Chen ignored him and looked directly at the two children: "Little brother and little sister, you don't know him, so why are you going with him? Aren't you afraid he's a bad person who will sell you off?"

The boy shook his head firmly: "As long as there is food, that's enough."

The girl chimed in: "My brother and I went to the Slave Market last time to sell ourselves, but those uncles said we weren't worth anything and wouldn't give us food."

The boy added immediately: "That's right, this uncle looks like a good person at first glance."

Qin Chen laughed and asked: "Can you tell if someone is a good person just by looking? Then, do you think I'm a good person or a bad person?"

The boy sized Qin Chen up and said seriously: "You look like a playboy at first glance, with a grinning face and eyes that look down on everything, so… you are not a good person."

The girl to the side nodded vigorously in agreement: "Brother is right, you also have a Killing Intent on you; you must have killed people before."

Qin Chen was shocked and stared at the two children with wide eyes.

Could this be some kind of talent?

He regretted it a little; if he had known, he should have brought a 'Heavenly Vein Spirit Pearl' or a spirit testing stone with him.

The middle-aged man to the side also stared at the two children with wide eyes, his tone full of surprise: "You can even tell that? Amazing, amazing, it seems I've found a treasure, hahaha."

Qin Chen was unconvinced and pointed at the middle-aged man: "Does that mean he hasn't killed anyone?"

The middle-aged man laughed immediately and puffed out his chest: "Hey, you actually guessed right. I've lived for over forty years, and I've never killed a single person."

Upon hearing this, Qin Chen couldn't help but admire him.

Ever since he learned that this world respected strength, those with even a little status or wealth had more or less taken lives.

"I admire you, I truly do. It's not easy for you to have survived until now. May I ask your surname, brother?" Qin Chen couldn't help but ask.

"It's nothing, nothing at all. Everyone calls me Steward Jia," Steward Jia laughed.

"Steward Jia?" Qin Chen widened his eyes and examined him carefully.

Steward Jia, who was in his forties—could he be Jia Hui's father?

Thinking of this, Qin Chen immediately asked: "Is Jia Hui your son?"

Steward Jia immediately looked at Qin Chen with vigilance: "What are you trying to do? I warn you, although I have never killed anyone, if you dare to harm my family, I… even if I have to perish with you, I will…"

Qin Chen waved his hand, interrupting Steward Jia: "Don't misunderstand, I have no malicious intent."

"Hmph," Steward Jia looked at Qin Chen vigilantly, "Do you think I'll believe that?"

The boy to the side looked at Steward Jia with pleasant surprise: "So you are Steward Jia?"

After saying that, he pulled his sister and said happily: "Little sister, that's great! From now on, we can follow Steward Jia!"

It turned out that Steward Jia was a famous philanthropist in the area—he took in many vagrants, built several refugee shelters, and often distributed porridge, being very charitable.

It was precisely because of his reputation as a philanthropist that other factions were unwilling to easily touch him, which was why he had been able to live so securely.

However, Qin Chen knew that Steward Jia would likely be murdered by his second wife, He Na, within these next two days.

Thinking of this, Qin Chen said calmly: "Steward Jia, do you have a wife named He Na?"

"You… what are you trying to do? I warn you, I still have some sway in this area. If you dare to touch me, many of my friends won't let you off," Steward Jia said vigilantly.

"Steward Jia, you've heard of the Black Eagle Gang, right?" Qin Chen's tone was calm.

"The Black Eagle Gang! Of course I've heard of them. They are a gang in this area. When they were in business before, they bullied their peers, and later, when they stopped doing business, they started robbing people in secret," Steward Jia said seriously.

"I am a member of the Black Eagle Gang, and your He Na was planted by us. We are planning to murder you in these next few days to seize your family property," Qin Chen said calmly.

"And your steward, Zhang Qiang, was also secretly arranged to enter the Jia Residence by He Na…"

The more Steward Jia listened, the more he felt it was true, and he suddenly felt his hair stand on end and his back go cold.

He wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and looked at Qin Chen with trembling legs: "You… why are you telling me all this?"

"Because I am a traitor to the Black Eagle Gang, and I need to defect to a new faction," Qin Chen casually made up an excuse.

"Alright, if this matter is true, then you are a benefactor of my Jia Residence, and I will definitely reward you handsomely," Steward Jia clasped his hands in thanks.

After saying this, he led the two children and left.

However, Qin Chen did not just leave it at that.

He was still worried that this Steward Jia would foolishly continue to trust He Na.

Therefore, after returning to Wangyue Tower, he still occasionally released his Divine Sense to observe Steward Jia's situation.

At the same time, he also felt Liu Ruyan's Divine Sense sweeping over him from time to time.

He had used Divine Sense himself and understood that using Divine Sense for a long time consumed a lot of Mental Energy and caused fatigue.

He couldn't help but sigh; this Liu Ruyan really was watching him closely as if he were a precious treasure.

By nighttime, when Qin Chen swept his Divine Sense over the Jia Residence, he suddenly discovered something wrong—

He saw He Na and Zhang Qiang engaging in illicit acts inside a side room.

While being intimate, the two were whispering and discussing:

"Darling, hurry, hurry…" He Na's breathing was rapid, her voice panting.

"Don't rush, it won't be this exciting in the future…" Zhang Qiang had a wicked grin on his face.

"How could that be? After we kill Steward Jia tonight, we can find the next target, and by then we can still be like this…" He Na said with an urgent tone.

Two minutes later, Zhang Qiang prepared to get up and put on his clothes.

He Na grabbed him and said coquettishly: "Don't, don't put them on… let's go find Steward Jia just like this."

Zhang Qiang grinned and hooked her chin: "You little slut, you really know how to play."

Having said that, the two walked out of the side room with disheveled clothes, heading toward the courtyard where Steward Jia was sleeping soundly.

At this moment, Steward Jia was sleeping soundly, snoring, without any precautions at all.

Seeing this scene, Qin Chen couldn't help but frown.

This Steward Jia really deserved to die.

But for Qin Chen to just watch him get killed, he really couldn't bear it.

He did not hesitate; he bent his legs, suddenly soared into the air, and turned into a streak of light, flying straight toward the Jia Residence.

Within just a few moments, he landed silently in a dark corner of Steward Jia's courtyard, waiting quietly to watch the show.

He Na and Zhang Qiang, who had walked into the courtyard, did not notice at all that a pair of eyes were coldly watching them from the shadows.

Zhang Qiang arrived in front of Steward Jia's bedroom door, raised his foot, and kicked it open with a "bang."

Steward Jia was awakened and sat up abruptly.

He saw Zhang Qiang holding the disheveled He Na at a glance and immediately understood.

Only then did he remember Qin Chen's warning from the day.

At the time, he was only half-believing, and later, when he thought about it, he even felt that Qin Chen was making trouble out of nothing.

Surely he couldn't suspect his own people just based on a few words from a stranger, right?

He knew deeply that one should not suspect those one employs, and should not employ those one suspects.

Moreover, over these years, He Na and Zhang Qiang had been conscientious and diligent in their work for the Jia Residence, and one could hardly find any faults.

How could things change so suddenly?

The more he thought about it, the more he felt that someone was sowing discord.

But the scene before his eyes had really happened.

This huge contrast made it hard for him to accept for a moment, and he roared loudly at Zhang Qiang and He Na: "What a pair of adulterers! You really are guilty!"
