I was chased by my sickly junior brother who had two lives

The atmosphere in the interrogation room of the Dali Temple was solemn and depressing. The torches on the wall were swaying, and the light and shadows were shaking on the ground, as if they were also uneasy about the tense interrogation that was about to begin. Chen Jue, dressed in official uniform, sat at the interrogation table with a dignified look, his eyes fixed on the tied killer in front of him, revealing determination and sharpness.

The killer lowered his head, with a hint of stubbornness and indifference on his face. Despite being in a difficult situation, he didn't seem to intend to speak easily.

Chen Jue knocked on the table lightly, breaking the silence: "Do you think you can escape the blame if you don't speak? What you are involved in is far more serious than you think."

The killer raised his head slightly and sneered: "Humph, you can kill me or chop me up as you like, I won't say a word."

Chen Jue was not angry. He smiled and said, "You know that the Lin family you work for has seriously endangered the peace of the country and the well-being of the people through their actions. You think you are working for them, but in fact you are just a pawn of theirs and may be abandoned at any time."

There was a hint of hesitation in the killer's eyes, but he quickly returned to his indifference: "So what? I only know how to complete my mission."

Chen Jue stood up, walked to the killer, and said slowly: "Think about it, you have done so many bad things for them. Once the truth is revealed, will they protect you? And you will bear the eternal infamy, and your family will also be disgraced because of you."

The killer's body trembled slightly, and his eyes revealed a trace of struggle. Chen Jue knew that his words had begun to take effect.

"I ask you again, why did you want to assassinate Chen Jia? Who ordered you to do so?" Chen Jue's voice became stern.

The killer gritted his teeth but still said nothing. Chen Jue returned to the interrogation table, picked up a document, and said, "Look at this. This is the evidence we found from the underground bank. It clearly records the Lin family's dealings with some illegal transactions. And you, as their killer, are also involved. Do you think you can still escape legal sanctions?"

The killer looked at the document and turned pale. He knew that he was in a desperate situation.

"I said... I said..." The killer finally spoke, "It was the master of the Lin family who asked me to assassinate Chen Jia. He said that Chen Jia knew something that she shouldn't know, and it would be disadvantageous to them."

Chen Jue continued to ask: "Who else is supporting the Lin family? You must know something."

The killer hesitated for a moment and said, "I... I heard that they seem to have some connection with King Jin, but I don't know the details. I'm just a killer who follows orders, and I don't know much."

Chen Jue was delighted, knowing that he had finally found the key clue. He immediately had the killer taken away and put him under strict guard, then hurriedly left the Dali Temple with this new clue and headed for the Eastern Palace.

In the East Palace, the prince was sitting in his study, frowning as he read a memorial. When he heard that Chen Jue wanted to see him, he quickly asked someone to invite him in.

"Chen Jue, you came to see me in such a hurry, is there something important?" The prince put down the memorial in his hand and asked.

Chen Jue bowed to the prince, then handed the evidence in his hand to the prince and said, "Your Highness, while investigating the Lin family, I found new clues, all of which point to the Lin family and Prince Jin."

The prince took the evidence and read it carefully. His face became more and more solemn. After reading it, he slammed the table heavily and said, "This King Jin is getting more and more daring! He actually dared to collude with the Lin family and do such illegal things."

Chen Jue said, "Your Highness, we have some evidence now, but it is not enough. The King of Jin has great influence in the court. If we act rashly, we may alert the enemy. We need to think of a way to make him reveal his true colors."

The prince thought for a moment and said, "What do you think? Tell me."

Chen Jue's eyes gleamed, and he said, "Your Highness, we can use the Lin family's clue to set a trap for King Jin. We can spread the news that the Lin family has confessed their collusion with King Jin, and we have solid evidence. Then, we secretly observe King Jin's reaction and see what actions he will take. If he really has collusion with the Lin family, he will definitely find a way to destroy the evidence or deal with us. In this way, we can catch him and bring him down in one fell swoop."

The prince nodded and said, "That's a good idea. But how can we make the news more realistic?"

Chen Jue thought for a moment and said, "Your Highness, we can arrange a fake interrogation and have some people pretend to be from the Lin family. They can tell the truth about their collusion with Prince Jin in prison and deliberately leak the news. At the same time, we need to strengthen our surveillance of Prince Jin to see what he does."

The prince smiled and said, "Okay, let's do as you say. Chen Jue, this matter is now in your hands. You must be careful and cautious and not let the King of Jin realize our intentions."

Chen Jue accepted the order and said, "Don't worry, Your Highness. I will do my best to complete the task."

After leaving the Eastern Palace, Chen Jue immediately began to make arrangements. He selected some smart and capable subordinates, asked them to pretend to be members of the Lin family, and put them in the prison of the Dali Temple. Then, he arranged some spies to spread the news that the Lin family had betrayed the King of Jin.

After everything was ready, Chen Jue and his men began their intense surveillance work. They closely followed every move of the Prince of Jin's Mansion and did not miss any suspicious signs.

In the Prince of Jin's mansion, the Prince of Jin was in a panic when he heard the news that the Lin family had betrayed him. He summoned his trusted advisers to discuss countermeasures in the study.

"What do you think? Is this news true or false? Will the Lin family really betray us?" Prince Jin asked anxiously.

A counselor said, "Your Highness, it is better to believe it than not. We cannot let our guard down. If the Lin family really betrays us, we will be in trouble."

Another counselor said, "Your Majesty, I think we should send someone to find out the authenticity of the news first. At the same time, we must destroy all evidence related to the Lin family as soon as possible, just in case."

King Jin nodded and said, "Okay, let's do as you say. Immediately send someone to the Dali Temple to get information. At the same time, get rid of everything related to the Lin family. Don't leave any evidence behind."

So, the men of King Jin began to act. They quietly sneaked into the Dali Temple, trying to find out about the interrogation of the Lin family. Chen Jue had already expected King Jin to do this, and he set up many traps around the Dali Temple, waiting for King Jin's men to take the bait.

One night, several of King Jin's men sneaked to the Dali Temple prison under the cover of darkness. They carefully observed the surroundings and prepared to find an opportunity to enter the prison.

Just as they were preparing to take action, a group of soldiers suddenly emerged from all directions and surrounded them.

"Who are you? How dare you sneak around near the Dali Temple!" a soldier shouted.

King Jin's men were panicked. They knew they were ambushed, but they still tried to resist.

A fierce battle broke out outside the Dali Temple. Although the Jin Wang's men were highly skilled in martial arts, they gradually fell into trouble due to the superior force prepared by Chen Jue.

Eventually, all of King Jin's men were subdued, and Chen Jue personally interrogated them, from whom he learned King Jin's plan to destroy the evidence.

Chen Jue immediately reported the news to the crown prince. After hearing this, the crown prince was overjoyed and said, "Good, this time the King of Jin finally showed his hand. Chen Jue, you immediately take people to the King of Jin's mansion to search for evidence. I will notify the ministers in the court and prepare to expose the King of Jin's crimes in the court."

Chen Jue led the soldiers and rushed towards the Prince of Jin's Mansion like a whirlwind. When the people in the Prince of Jin's Mansion saw the large number of soldiers coming, they immediately became a mess.

Chen Jue rushed into the Prince of Jin's mansion without mercy and began a comprehensive search. In the Prince of Jin's study, they found some letters and accounts with the Lin family, which proved conclusively that the Prince of Jin was colluding with the Lin family.

Chen Jue held the evidence, his heart filled with joy and pride. He knew that they had finally successfully uncovered the conspiracy of King Jin and eradicated a great harm for the country and the people.

In the court, the prince showed the evidence found by Chen Jue in front of many ministers, exposing the crime of the King of Jin. The King of Jin was arrested on the spot, and what awaits him will be severe punishment by law.

Chen Jue, for his outstanding performance in this incident, was rewarded by the prince and praised by the people. He and Chen Jia could finally breathe a sigh of relief and enjoy this hard-earned victory and peace.
