Zhu Wen silently bent down and picked up the pistol on the ground. He held it in his hand and looked at it carefully. When he saw Jun Mo’s unique mark behind the butt of the gun, his expression was especially strange. “Have you really figured out the origin of this gun? Why didn’t you look for Hellgate? Why did you come to me?”

Secretary Wu was certain that this was Zhu Wen’s doing. Otherwise, he would have become a huge joke today.

Hearing that Zhu Wen did not admit what he had done, Secretary Wu could not help but roar at his brothers behind him and order, “Brothers, if Young Master Zhu doesn’t want to admit it, let’s not continue talking nonsense with him. Get your weapons and attack!”

When the brothers surrounding him heard his order, they immediately gathered aggressively. Every silver knife in their hands was fatally cold in the night.

The henchmen protected Zhu Wen tightly. There were only the two of them at the event location. The others went out to drive the truck to deliver the goods. If they really fought, they would probably lose their lives here.

Zhu Wen’s expression was dark. He looked at the especially familiar faces around him and suddenly raised his hand to stop them. “Wait, what makes you so sure that this gun is the one that appeared at the Nighthawk’s base?”

Secretary Wu was stunned for a moment. Clearly, he did not expect him to ask such a question in the face of danger. Her face was instantly filled with impatience.

“When I was with Boss Zhu Meng in the past, I saw Jun Mo take out this gun. Later, this gun appeared on Boss’s desk for no reason. 1 thought Boss Zhu Meng had made a deal with Jun Mo, but after Boss died, I couldn’t find this gun no matter what.”

“So you suspect that 1 took this gun with me when 1 left and deliberately left it at the event location where Cheng Zhen was shot to death. My goal was to frame Jun Mo, but I didn’t expect your sharp eyes to see through me?” When Zhu Wen said this, his eyes were filled with a playful smile. He looked at Secretary Wu as if he was looking at a fool.

Secretary Wu inexplicably felt that he had underestimated her and immediately frowned in dissatisfaction. “Isn’t that so? Other than you, who else can enter Boss’s office at will?”

Zhu Wen raised his eyebrows and shrugged his shoulders indifferently. He asked a question that made everyone present fall silent at the same time. “Do you think I know how to use a gun?”

Secretary Wu was speechless.

This seemed to be a problem!

When Zhu Meng was alive, he had never put Zhu Wen in danger, let alone taught him how to use a dangerous weapon like a gun.

In their eyes, Zhu Wen was just a gentle student. Although he would do some things that hedonistic sons would do, Zhu Wen was still relatively obedient.

At the event location where Cheng Zhen was assassinated, the light was especially dim. The building was a certain distance away from Cheng Zhen. If he wanted to shoot Cheng Zhen under such harsh conditions, the person who shot him would definitely not be a newbie.

From the looks of it, Zhu Wen did not meet the conditions to become a murderer at all.

Secretary Wu’s gaze suddenly became complicated. This was because if Zhu Wen was really not the real murderer of Cheng Zhen, then he might have already offended his future boss.

Fortunately, Zhu Wen was not a petty person, and things had not developed to the point where they had to fall out. He repeatedly fiddled with the gun in his hand, and his thoughts raced. Suddenly, he thought of something and suddenly stopped. “I remember that before we fell out with Jun Mo, he said that a woman snatched his favorite pistol?”

This matter was too long ago. Secretary Wu thought about it carefully for a long time before he found this matter from the corners of his memories. He nodded seriously and said, “That seems to be the case.”

He was stunned for a moment before quickly following Zhu Wen’s train of thought. “Young Master, do you mean that this gun was deliberately placed in our base at that time so that the people from Hellgate would misunderstand that we had long had ill intentions towards them and use this to sow discord between the two gangs so that the person could reap the benefits?”

Zhu Wen had clearly thought of more than that. In a flash, he had even thought of the most likely candidate.

However, every time he thought of that face, he would feel his heart race and his breathing become chaotic for no reason.

He quickly composed himself and nodded in agreement with Secretary Wu. “So this gun should have been stolen in the chaos. The person who killed Cheng Zhen was the person who stole this gun.”

Secretary Wu was completely convinced by his logic. He hurriedly leaned forward to smell it carefully. “Then who do you think stole this gun?”

Zhu Wen opened his mouth and almost blurted out those two words, but he swallowed them and changed to another person’s name. “Jun Mo.”

This gun was Jun Mo’s favorite weapon. It was normal for him to take it back in the chaos after knowing the whereabouts of the gun. He was just curious why he would throw it at his killing event location.

If he had to explain, Zhu Wen could only think of one possibility. Jun Mo wanted the Nighthawks to fight among themselves again so that he could reap the benefits..
