"Lin Wen is a good child, she can’t swallow her pride, she’s unwilling to leave all the family assets to that third party and her child. How ridiculous that I didn’t know her grievances at the ti."
Xu Yicheng spoke, unable to stop his eyes from turning red.
Yang Cheng had never heard Kong Lingwen ntion her past, so the reason she detested n from a young age, besides the Snake Source Qi, was also because her father indirectly caused the death of her mother.
All these years she has always treated herself as a man because she had to be strong, or she would have long been hard by that vicious stepmother.
anwhile, Cheng Zhijie was sent to the hospital for treatnt.
The Cheng Family rushed to the hospital, only to receive news that he had beco a eunuch.
"I’m sorry, we tried our best. When Mr. Cheng was sent to the hospital, that area was already exploded, and couldn’t be stitched up."
The doctor spoke with a helpless look.
Upon hearing the news, Madam Cheng’s legs went weak and she collapsed.
"Mom! Don’t get too worked up, Zhijie is still young, with scientific progress maybe there’s still a chance to heal."
Cheng Zhi-sheng quickly tried to console her, reaching out to hold her.
"Oh my son! He doesn’t even have children yet, and now he’s been hard by soone! This ans cutting off our line, I can’t live with this!"
Madam Cheng cried to the heavens, one would think Cheng Zhijie had died.
"Mom, rest assured, I will definitely investigate this matter thoroughly, and I won’t let the person who hard Zhijie get away."
Cheng Zhi-sheng imdiately promised, afraid Madam Cheng might faint from thinking too much.
Madam Cheng suddenly stopped crying, her eyes filled with venom, she whispered, "What’s the investigation gonna do, even if we catch soone, at most they’ll just sit a few years in jail, I want the person who hard Zhijie dead!"
"Mom! I’m the mayor, how can I be involved in murder, once soone discovers this I’m done for!"
Cheng Zhi-sheng beca nervous, pulling Madam Cheng to the corner, cautiously surveying the surroundings.
"That bastard won’t die, I’ll be angered to death, are you going to just watch die?"
Madam Cheng pointed her finger at Cheng Zhi-sheng’s chest, gritting her teeth.
"Your brother is still unconscious, a good person beaten so badly, you don’t feel any pain, is this how you act as a brother?"
"It’s not like I want you to do it yourself, you just need to pay, I can hire soone to do it, make sure their entire family ends up dead!"
Madam Cheng heard the details from Cheng Zhijie’s subordinates, and had already made up her mind, but hiring soone to kill is not cheap, she certainly wants Cheng Zhi-sheng to pay.
Seeing his mother’s crazed state, Cheng Zhi-sheng was conflicted, but ultimately nodded, "Fine! We’ll do as you say, how much does it cost?"
"Two million."
Cheng Zhi-sheng was shocked, he replied hesitantly, "That’s too much, I don’t have that kind of money right now."
"Back when your dad passed away, it was alone who raised the two of you brothers, even provided for your education, leading to your achievents today, if I had known you couldn’t even co up with two million, I should’ve gone into business earlier."
Madam Cheng started crying and lanting again.
"Mom, stop crying, I’ll find a way to gather the money."
Cheng Zhi-sheng reluctantly agreed, though being the mayor, it’s difficult for him to co up with that amount at once. Besides, Cheng Zhijie had been in business for many years, roughly estimated to have a fortune of tens of millions.
He knows Madam Cheng favors the younger son, but he still acts out of filial piety, listening to her words.
Soon, Madam Cheng got in touch with a hitman organization through Cheng Zhijie’s subordinates, specializing in doing dirty work for money.
The next morning, after dawn, Cheng Zhi-sheng managed to gather the two million and transferred it to Madam Cheng.
Madam Cheng only paid half of it to the hitman organization, planning to keep the remaining one million for Cheng Zhijie’s treatnt.
The hitman organization perford diligently, beginning their actions imdiately after receiving the paynt of one million.
...
At this ti, Kong Lingwen and Qin Shuhui had packed all their luggage, their clothes and such were mailed away, and the remaining valuable items were loaded into the car by Yang Cheng.
Yang Cheng organized the trunk, finally managing to close the door, he clapped his hands and got into the car.
They had not brought a car when they ca, fortunately, Xu Yicheng’s car was spacious enough to load all the collected dicinal materials and antiques.
"We’re heading out now, let’s eat when we reach the service area."
Yang Cheng started the car and quickly drove away from the community.
"It’s strange, yesterday Xiaochen injured Cheng Zhijie, logically, there should have been police arriving, yet no one has co to trouble us."
Xu Yicheng was puzzled, he wouldn’t believe Cheng Zhijie would just let it go.
"Maybe Cheng Zhijie is afraid of embarrassing himself if the matter gains attention, so he just resigns himself to misfortune."
Kong Lingwen speculated, but she also felt sothing amiss.
"Impossible, with Cheng Zhijie’s vengeful nature, he surely would want revenge, that’s why we need to leave quickly."
Yang Cheng spoke, while accelerating the car.
As the car was about to enter the highway, a barrier suddenly appeared up ahead.
"Stop for inspection!"
A few n in uniforms shouted, surrounding the car and forcing Yang Cheng to stop.
"Why is there a barrier, could it be they are here to arrest soone?"
Both Xu Yicheng and Qin Shuhui beca anxious.
Yang Cheng remained calm, poked his head out to ask, "Which departnt are you from, what do you need to inspect?"
"Stop asking questions, get out of the car!"
The leader pointed at Yang Cheng, his tone exceedingly arrogant, as he drew his gun.
Under normal circumstances, soone would be scared into getting out imdiately, but Yang Cheng stayed incredibly composed.
"Boss, there’s a beautiful lady in the car, looks just like a fairy, when we catch them, let us have so fun, okay?"
One of the n whispered.
Even though the sound was quiet, Yang Cheng still caught it, now certain these people weren’t any official authorities.
"We’re investigating a murderer, hurry up and get out, or we’ll shoot!"
The leader shouted angrily, his n simultaneously raised their guns.
The other three in the car had held their breath in fright, yet Yang Cheng only sneered, "You bunch look so pathetic pretending to be cops, clearly unconvincing, and your way of holding guns is incredibly amateur, can’t you practice before doing tasks, totally unprofessional!"
"Damn! Boss, he found us out!"
"Shut it! He was bluffing us, and you gave it all away by speaking!"
The burly leader slapped the underling, sending him stumbling backward, landing on his butt.
The group laughed, as soone reached to help the underling up.
