Di Lei's Choice
Di Lei, as the head of the Magic City War Zone, naturally had to attend the award ceremony for the top ten examinees in the Eastern Examination District.
At this moment, he was sitting in his personal M00001 car, his brows furrowed and his expression complex.
Hua Qiang, as a graduating College Entrance Examination student from the Magic City examination area, won the national College Entrance Examination top score.
This should have been something he was incredibly proud of...
As the leader of the Magic City War Zone, this honor will not only bring him the appreciation of his superiors and more opportunities for promotion, but will also raise his prestige in the entire war zone to a higher level!
He seemed to see an even brighter future for himself, and a ripple of joy welled up in his heart.
But this joy was fleeting, like a flash in the pan.
The thought of his nephew Di Yuan's death weighed heavily on his heart, as if a thousand-pound boulder had been placed upon it.
All signs point to Bi Hua Qiang, who may be the murderer.
This conjecture was like a sharp blade, Ground Spikes his heart.
Although he didn't particularly like this nephew, they were still family after all, and blood is thicker than water. Di Yuan's death filled him with grief.
The younger brother, Di Wei, is a vengeful man who will never let the murderer of his son get away with it easily.
Moreover, he had also called to communicate with me. Although I did not explicitly state my position, not stating it was tantamount to admitting it.
The assassination attempt by Di Wei has already shown that he has launched a revenge operation regardless of the consequences.
Di Lei was caught in a deep contradiction.
He didn't want this incident to affect his future, after all, he had put in countless efforts to climb to his current position.
Di Lei knew all too well that in this complex arena of power, one wrong step could mean total defeat!
But how could he ignore his brother's pain and the Lineage's hatred?
As the elder brother, he has a responsibility to the Gu Family and uphold the Lineage's dignity!
If he stops his brother from taking revenge, he will be branded as heartless and ungrateful, and the Lineage may be fractured as a result.
If he lets his younger brother continue to act recklessly, he will also find it difficult to escape unscathed once things escalate.
Di Lei felt incredibly conflicted and helpless; he didn't know what to do.
He kept asking himself, what should he do?
To remain silent for the sake of one's future, or to stand up for Lineage...
Ring ring ring!
Sitting in the passenger seat, the secretary's phone rang. He glanced at it, answered it quickly, and then felt as if struck by lightning, his face turning deathly pale.
After a long while, he turned his head and looked at Di Lei, opening his mouth as if to say something but then stopping himself.
Di Lei was displeased and scolded, "Just say what you have to say, why are you beating around the bush?"
The secretary wiped the cold sweat from her forehead and mustered her courage to say, "District Chief, your younger brother died in the office, his body covered in blood and gore, his death was gruesome."
"His wife also died at home..."
Di Lei felt as if his head had been struck hard by an iron hammer, and his vision went black instantly.
His younger brother died, his wife died, and his son died before he died. This is... his entire family was wiped out!
"District Chief, are you alright?" The secretary called out quickly when he saw Di Lei's face change drastically and his expression become strange.
Di Lei sat in the car, his body frozen in place, his mind blank.
My younger brother died in his office, his body covered in blood and gore; his wife also died at home...
This sudden and devastating news plunged him into Abyss, leaving him unable to recover for a while.
Shock surged like a tidal wave, instantly engulfing him.
He couldn't believe it; his younger brother, who had been full of life just yesterday, was now a gruesome corpse.
My younger brother, whom I grew up with and with whom I shared a deep bond, has left us.
Although her sister-in-law Liu Hongli has an unpleasant personality, she respects her Eldest Brother very much.
Moreover, the woman's backing had been a great help to him, and now that woman was dead, it all happened so suddenly that he was caught off guard.
He felt as if an invisible blade was stabbing at his heart again and again.
They are a family, bound by blood ties.
Di Lei seemed to see scenes of the two playing together as children, and those scenes kept flashing through his mind as they faced difficulties together as adults.
Now that his younger brother has left him forever, how can he accept it?
Tears welled up in his eyes, but he forced them back.
As the district head, he cannot show weakness in front of his subordinates.
The next moment, a raging fire of anger burned fiercely in his chest. He clenched his fists, his nails digging deep into his palms, blood dripping from between his fingers without his knowledge.
Who exactly is it?
How could someone be so cruel as to commit such a heinous act?
He was determined to find the murderer and avenge his brother's family!
Was it a revenge killing?
The younger brother's personality does make him prone to offending people, but who on earth has the audacity to target the younger brother of the district head?
Don't they know the consequences of doing this?
Or is it that the other side doesn't even take him, the district head, seriously?
Was it murder? If so, what kind of conspiracy is behind it?
Di Lei began to carefully analyze various possibilities. Could it be because of his nephew Di Yuan?
Is someone trying to eradicate their Lineage line completely?
The thought sent chills down his spine; if that were true, the culprit behind it must be extremely cruel and cunning.
Or perhaps it's because his position as district head infringed upon the interests of certain individuals?
In his position, he is bound to offend some people, perhaps those who want to threaten him by attacking his family.
Another possibility is that she was a victim of a political struggle.
In this complex arena of power, various forces vie for dominance, and as the district head, he naturally becomes a target for some.
The death of the younger brother may just be one part of this struggle.
If that's the case, then things become much more complicated and dangerous!
He had no idea how many unknown dangers awaited him and his Lineage.
Di Lei felt a chill rise from the bottom of his heart.
He began to recall some recent events, trying to find some clues.
I thought of Hua Qiang, the top scorer in the national College Entrance Examination, who was also a suspect in the death of his nephew Di Yuan.
Could it be the influence of the forces behind Hua Qiang?
Or perhaps it was someone else who had a grudge against him?
His mind raced, not missing a single possible detail.
Di Lei realizes that his situation is extremely critical. He not only has to face the grief of his brother and sister-in-law's deaths, but also has to find the murderer as soon as possible to prevent more tragedies from happening.
He couldn't let the murderer Xiaoyao, nor could he keep himself and his Lineage in danger. He had to calm down and devise a strategy.
"Parking!"
The car slowly came to a stop on the side of the road. Di Lei opened the car door, walked to the side, took out his phone, and dialed a number...
