Chapter 127
“How could someone who was alive and well suddenly die? Did they eat something strange recently, or come into contact with some suspicious people…” Jiang Che asked meaningfully, beginning their agreed-upon script to act out their roles.
Hearing Jiang Che’s words, Liu Lei fell into deep thought, seemingly pondering whether the old man had encountered any suspicious individuals recently.
“Right, Father mentioned that Yang Wei is a feng shui master who reads faces. It must be his doing!” Liu Lei suddenly exclaimed, then turned to look for Yang Wei.
At this moment, Yang Wei was tiptoeing towards the exit of the living room. Seeing Jiang Che, he had the urge to flee.
But to the Liu family, his actions appeared as a guilty conscience. After all, they had heard Jiang Che and Liu Lei’s conversation.
“You’re the one who harmed my father!” Liu Mei glared at Yang Wei, her face full of anger, her skin trembling with rage.
“This has nothing to do with me…” Yang Wei said, bewildered. Damn it, how did this mess land on him?
He had been counting on Liu Qingfeng’s power to rise, so how could he possibly harm him?
“You were the one who spent the most time with my father these past few days. What else do you have to explain!” Liu Tian also glared at Yang Wei with murderous intent, wishing he could kill him on the spot!
Damn it, he was supposed to securely take the position of the family head, but who would have thought Yang Wei would come out of nowhere?
“I…” Yang Wei opened his mouth, but found himself speechless. He had indeed spent a lot of time with Liu Qingfeng these past few days, but just because of that, they accused him of being the murderer?
“No need to explain. You’re skilled in doing Feng Shui; it must have been you who harmed my father.” Liu Lei stepped forward, his face dark, and ordered the nearby bodyguards.
“Take down this murderer!”
Hearing the order, the bodyguards rolled up their sleeves and approached Yang Wei.
“I told you, I didn’t kill him! You really think I, Yang Wei, am a pushover!?” Constantly being wronged, Yang Wei finally lost his temper.
Jiang Che bullying him was one thing; after all, he couldn’t defeat him. But what did these puny guards mean?
Seeing the bodyguards approaching, Yang Wei slapped each of them, sending them flying.
“Ouch…”
The bodyguards were flung to the corners of the living room, lying on the ground and groaning in pain, their cries drowning out the mourning in the room.
The mourning Liu family members were interrupted by the noise, stopping their crying and looking towards Yang Wei in confusion.
“I’ll say it again. I didn’t kill the old man. Anyone who tries to stop me will end up like them!” Yang Wei glanced around the living room, snorted coldly, and was about to leave.
“Wait… You think you can just leave after committing murder? Is there no law in your eyes?” Jiang Che’s voice rang out in the living room. He had appeared beside Yang Wei, looking at him with righteous indignation.
“What do you want…” Yang Wei retreated a few steps, looking at Jiang Che warily.
He hadn’t expected Jiang Che to come to the Liu family. Damn it, Liu Qingfeng had lied, saying he had a normal relationship with Jiang Che.
A normal relationship, yet Jiang Che came to this occasion? And seeing the camaraderie between Jiang Che and Liu Lei, it was clear they were close friends.
In his mind, Yang Wei cursed the deceased Liu Qingfeng.
“System, do you have any talismans that can temporarily control a person’s mind?”
“Ding, searching for the host…”
Obedience Talisman: Cost 500 villain points (Makes the person under its influence speak according to the host’s thoughts for three minutes.)
Seeing this talisman, Jiang Che’s mouth curved into a sinister smile.
“Exchange…”
“Tell me, did you harm the old man?” Jiang Che slapped Yang Wei’s shoulder and quietly injected the Obedience Talisman into him.
“Yes, I killed him.” Yang Wei was about to shake his head but ended up saying something that left him dumbfounded.
“How did you kill him? And why?”
“I used a secret technique from my sect to kill him through feng shui because the old man didn’t know his place, so I killed him.”
“Killing people recklessly! Don’t you know that’s illegal?”
“Illegal? It’s utterly ridiculous. In my eyes, there’s no such thing as law. I kill whoever I want, and no one can stop me!” After saying this, Yang Wei covered his mouth in shock, staring at Jiang Che in horror.
The words he had just spoken were not what he intended to say. Jiang Che must have done something to him.
Jiang Che looked at Yang Wei with a teasing smile, anticipating the upcoming drama.
“No… Listen to my explanation…” Seeing the murderous gazes of the Liu family members, Yang Wei was on the verge of tears. Damn it, why wouldn’t Jiang Che leave him alone?
“What’s there to explain, you bastard! Our Liu family treated you well, and this is how you repay us?” Liu Tian, filled with rage, rushed to Yang Wei and slapped him across the face.
“Are you crazy! I told you I didn’t do it!” Yang Wei clutched his aching cheek, glaring at Liu Tian with resentment.
“You didn’t do it? Then what were you saying just now? You think I’m deaf?” Liu Tian found the situation laughable. Where did this idiot come from?
“It was Jiang Che! He made me say those things!” Yang Wei pointed at Jiang Che, his heart burning with rage.
He had stopped bothering Gu Yunqi, so why wouldn’t this bastard leave him alone?
“Jiang Che did it?” Hearing Yang Wei’s words, the Liu family burst into laughter.
Jiang Che was known in the elite circles for his good temper, gentle and kind demeanor, and friendliness.
These were traits everyone had witnessed. How could he be the one who harmed Liu Qingfeng? Yang Wei was truly an idiot. If you wanted to shift the blame, at least come up with a plausible reason!
“What’s there to say? A life for a life. Let him accompany Father in death!”
“Everyone, let’s take down this criminal!” Liu Lei, with a vicious look in his eyes, grabbed a chair and smashed it towards Yang Wei’s head.
Yang Wei blocked the attack with his arm and kicked Liu Lei away. He was truly furious now and started cursing the Liu family members!
“You stubborn fools, sold out and still counting the money for others. With descendants as stupid as you, no wonder the old man can’t rest in peace even in the afterlife!”
“Yang Wei, what are you saying!”
“You’re courting death!”
The Liu family members, enraged by Yang Wei’s words, rushed at him. Some grabbed chairs, others grabbed brooms.
“Come on, today I’ll teach you blind fools a lesson for the old man!” Yang Wei sneered, knocking down a dozen people with his punches in no time.
Jiang Che watched Yang Wei’s performance with interest, not intervening immediately. This situation was an opportunity to showcase his heroic image to these idiots.
“Do you few morons really think you can fight me?” Yang Wei looked at the fallen Liu family members with disdain.
With his hands behind his back, he savored the fearful glances from the people around him, feeling a sense of satisfaction! No wonder so many people liked to show off; it felt so good!
But his moment of pride didn’t last long. Just as he was feeling triumphant, Jiang Che slapped him, sending him flying.
“After committing murder, you still dare to be arrogant? Do you really think there’s no one in Linjiang to stop you?” Jiang Che walked up to Yang Wei, looking down at him with a mocking expression.
“You… What did I do to offend you? Why do you keep targeting me?” Yang Wei’s face was filled with anger. His moment of glory was cut short by Jiang Che, making him feel humiliated.
Damn it, is Jiang Che a demon? Why is he everywhere?
“You didn’t offend me, but killing people is a crime. A madman like you deserves to be executed by everyone!” Jiang Che said with righteous indignation.
“But… you just made me…”
“Smack!”
Before Yang Wei could finish, he was slapped again and sent flying.
