Chapter 1143: Chapter 1142: No One Pays Attention

What am I most afraid of?

What’s the most frightening thing? Isn’t it internal conflict? Now someone is dead, judging by Zhou Shengjie’s demeanor, he won’t let this go easily. It would be fine if it’s confirmed to be the Nie Family’s doing, but if not, things might get tricky.

Now Zhou Shengjie is starting to suspect the Ancient Family, but people from the Ancient Family are too proud to explain anything to him, and even if they wanted, explanations wouldn’t suffice. If someone stirs things up, conflicts will soon emerge.

"Some things are not coincidences," Beisitian said softly.

Luo Yirui sat on the windowsill cushioned with soft padding. Usually there would be children playing on the grass at this hour, but now there was none.

"Master, are you referring to Zhou Xinghai’s death?" Wei Zhongxun asked.

Beisitian shook her head, "There are too many coincidences. It feels like someone created such an atmosphere that causes mutual suspicion and vigilance between the Modern Family and the Ancient Family to achieve some objective."

Luo Yirui asked, "Mom, I don’t understand."

This time, Beisitian didn’t explain to Luo Yirui, because even she hadn’t figured it all out, and some things needed further observation.

By noon, there was news that the spot where Zhou Xinghai fell into the water had been found!

"I heard Zhou Xinghai fell near the woods, where there were many reeds, with water less than a meter deep. According to Zhou Shengjie, traces of more than one person were found at the scene, seemingly several people. So when Zhou Xinghai fell into the water, there must have been others present, and he might have been pushed."

"Did he find the place where he fell into the water? He didn’t find the specific location?" Beisitian asked.

Black Coal Ball replied, "It’s said the traces were covered up by someone, but these are just Zhou Shengjie’s speculations. When he found the place, he only saw faint unclear footprints nearby, so Zhou Shengjie believed that was where Zhou Xinghai fell into the water."

Zhou Shengjie shouldn’t be making wild guesses. He likely found traces of Zhou Xinghai’s activities nearby, leading him to this conclusion.

"Zhou Shengjie now suspects the Ancient Family did it. He says if it were the Nie Family, there wouldn’t be such complicated motives," Wei Zhongxun said.

Beisitian sneered coldly, "Is this his own thought, or has someone subtly implanted the idea?"

Wei Zhongxun was taken aback, "Master, what do you mean?"

Beisitian remained silent. She never spoke of matters without evidence.

After lunch, Fei Yunqing came to visit.

"Doctor Bei, I hope you can help. I know you know people in the Ancient Family. Can you connect us? Now Zhou Shengjie is desperately trying to confront the Ancient Family, but they totally ignore him. If this continues, Zhou Shengjie’s emotions will become increasingly volatile."

After hearing this, Beisitian spoke truthfully, "I only know Chu Fenglei from the Tianyao Sect, but Chu Fenglei doesn’t have a voice in this; he’s just a younger generation."

Fei Yuqing knew right away that Beisitian wasn’t lying; he had seen Chu Fenglei visit her multiple times.

After some discussion, Beisitian agreed to talk to Chu Fenglei and convey the message. If someone from the Ancient Family could come out and explain briefly, the situation might not become more complicated.

But apparently, things didn’t progress as people hoped. Chu Fenglei conveyed the Modern Family’s intentions, only to be scolded by the elders of the Tianyao Sect, but still, no one paid attention to the matter.

In their eyes, the Modern Family is nothing significant; a person’s death has nothing to do with them.
