Chen Tiexin had asked his servants to search the whole Chens' mansion, but they found nothing. However, Chen Tiexin did not dare to search the pond in the backyard, because the Diamond Carp was Chen Yuanhai's favorite.
Moreover, this pond was indeed a good place to hide the corpses. Since Chen Yuanhai had said so, Chen Tiexin immediately called a servant.
As the water level of the pond gradually decreased, Chen Tiexin became more and more nervous, and even his breathing became rapid. This kind of reaction showed that he was worried and afraid. He was afraid that there would be a corpse here, and he was afraid Samuel would be just as they had guessed.
When Chen Tiexin had chased Samuel out of the Chen Clan's mansion, he had set up a trap for Samuel, which had attracted many people's attention. Chen Tiexin had deliberately made people laugh at Samuel in hopes that he could use this chance to make him notorious in the Dragon Cloud City.
Chen Tiexin had done everything he could and left no room for himself. He couldn't imagine how he would have to deal with this matter if Samuel was really a master.
"Father, do you really think the body is inside?" Chen Tiexin asked Chen Yuanhai.
Chen Yuanhai’s expression became more and more solemn because this was the easiest place to hide the corpse in the Chens' mansion. Therefore, it was reasonable not to find the body elsewhere.
But whether it was true or not was not determined by Chen Yuanhai.
"We can only know when we see the result, " said Chen Yuanhai.
Chen Tiexin stopped talking and waited in silence.
The water level dropped quickly, but the two of them didn't feel anxious at all. Chen Tiexin even hoped that the water level would never be drained. Only in this way could he have the excuse to escape from reality.
In the evening, the pond finally had kneedeep water level. In this case, everything at the bottom of the pond could almost be seen with the naked eye.
An unidentified human-shaped object appeared in front of them.
Such a situation made Chen Tiexin's face pale. It was impossible for this pond to drown people for no reason. If there really was a corpse, it was very likely to be the expert in the Four-Lamp Realm.
"Father!" Chen Tiexin took a deep breath and shouted at Chen Yuanhai.
Chen Yuanhai's hands trembled slightly. This was not the result he wanted to see, but this result was not something he could escape from.
"Send someone to see what's going on," Chen Yuanhai said.
Chen Tiexin immediately said to the servants next to him, "Go and get it. Let’s see what it is."
A few servants went directly into the water. As soon as they got close to the human-shaped object, they smelled a foul odor.
"Master, Young Master, this is a corpse." "Bring him up," Chen Yuanhai said with a livid face.
The corpse had already swelled after sinking for too long. Furthermore, it would rot the moment they touched it. The servants endured the vomiting in their hearts and carried the corpse back onto the shore.
When Chen Yuanhai approached, he was not frightened by the appearance of the corpse. Instead, he asked the nearby servants, "Have any of you seen this person?"
The best person to identify the corpse was Chen Yanran, but Chen Yuanhai did not want to let Chen Yanran know about this matter at present. Moreover, Chen Yuanhai did not want to frighten Chen Yanran with such a horrible side.
The nearby servants did not speak, which excluded the possibility of them knowing it.
Chen Yuanhai continued to ask, "Who was there when the Xies and Wangs came to the Chens' mansion?"
