Chapter 201: Shocking
Chapter 201
Wei Lin wanted Li Jiang to accompany him in death.
How could Wei Lin not want to drag more people down with him?
Since the board members had turned on him so quickly and were now wagging their tails at Wei Wenjuan, they shouldn't expect to get away so cleanly!
"Why don't we talk about how the second young miss went mad?" Wei Lin looked towards them.
Wei Wenjuan's eyelid twitched as he gripped the gun in his hand tightly.
Another revelation?
He was very curious to know.
He also understood that if Wei Lin spoke out and revealed who among those present was involved... then the board members would once again form a community of shared interests with Wei Lin.
Once a cornered dog jumps over the wall, he'd have to be careful not to be shot in the back by them.
"Wei Lin, oh Wei Lin! You're truly grasping at straws and sowing discord even at death's door!" the board members angrily exclaimed.
They had completely abandoned any thought of saving Wei Lin.
Not only could they not save him, but this man needed to die quickly!
Some of them quietly placed their hands on their guns while harshly interrupting: "You were the old man's adopted son, he relied heavily on you and entrusted many of the group's businesses to you. You were practically the second-in-command of the group! But how did you repay that? Who can you face with a clear conscience?"
"Did the old man truly care for me? He knew his sons and daughters couldn't handle such a large operation! He just used me like a workhorse!" Wei Lin shouted in rage.
After speaking, Wei Lin turned to look at Wei Wenjuan: "You're all the same... We grew up together. That day when I went out with Wenyu and Wei Wenqing, and Wenyu disappeared in the end. You immediately suspected me, you've always been wary of me. Did you have even a shred of our childhood friendship in your hearts? You call me an adopted son, but where was I ever treated as part of your family? I wasn't even treated as half a person."
"I did suspect you and was wary of you," Wei Wenjuan admitted directly. "But not everyone distrusted you. Wenyu trusted you. Yet the one person who trusted you the most, you thought was the best target to harm."
Wei Lin fell silent at that.
Wei Wenjuan still wanted to ask about how Wei Wenyi went mad.
He barely managed to hold back, only lowering his head to speak into the phone: "Father, did you hear everything clearly?"
Wei Xuanming's cold voice came from the other end of the phone: "I heard it."
Wei Lin opened his mouth, then closed it again.
Everything... was over.
"Let's all listen to that recording together now," Wei Wenjuan held out his hand.
It was Xing Siyun who handed over the phone from the side.
Wei Wenjuan took it and pressed play.
"Sleeping with you was only to humiliate Wei Wenjuan and his brother, only to strike at them and make them collapse again..."
...
"There's little Xiao Ya now... Xiao Ya can be the successor."
"A child of just a few years old?... Who knows what day she might die mysteriously?"
...
When Wei Lin heard this, his face turned ashen, choking on the blood in his throat: "You tricked me! Wei Wenjuan! This recording isn't..."
It wasn't recorded by Li Jiang!
But... it was recorded by Xing Siyun!
Wei Lin turned his head to stare at Xing Siyun, his gaze ice-cold.
He had clearly checked at the time! He had clearly checked!
Xing Siyun stroked her belly and said with lowered head: "Although I'm carrying your child, I really couldn't stand by and watch your despicable actions anymore."
Wei Lin felt his blood surging as he heard this, and asked Wei Wenjuan harshly: "Do you actually have that recording or not?"
Wei Wenjuan didn't look at him, but instead looked down at Li Jiang: "We lied to you, Xiao Ya didn't find the recording. But the goal was achieved. Everyone involved in Wenyu's death will die miserably."
Using one recording to impersonate another.
It was Xiao Ya's idea.
Wei Wenjuan hadn't expected it to go so smoothly... As soon as he mentioned the recording Xiao Ya provided, Li Jiang took the bait. Li Jiang's frenzy forced Wei Lin into a panic, thinking he truly had no way out.
Wei Wenjuan really wanted to tell everyone that this was Xiao Ya personally avenging her mother.
But he couldn't say it.
The kidnapping act still had to continue...
They didn't know how clever Xiao Ya was... Wei Wenjuan took a deep breath, his eyes brimming with hot tears.
At this moment, Li Jiang opened his mouth and spat out a mouthful of blood.
"Good, good! Haha, so clever, so clever..."
Wei Lin had already confessed, so the recording no longer mattered.
The board members eagerly spoke up: "No matter who recorded it or what recording it is... listen to what was said, what does it mean by 'who knows what day she might die mysteriously'?"
"Wei Lin, oh Wei Lin! How dare you say it wasn't you? The young miss's kidnapping was orchestrated by you!"
"Let's carry out family law!"
"That's right!"
The board members had now become the most eager to take action.
"According to family rules, those who act against the family's interests should have their fingers chopped off."
"For sowing discord and glib talking, the tongue should be cut out and teeth pulled."
"For being disloyal and unfaithful, the liver and gallbladder should be dug out."
They stood there, each person speaking a sentence, their tones icy and cruel.
"I'll do it personally," Wei Wenjuan held out his hand again, this time accepting a knife.
In the Long Island villa.
Xiao Ya clearly heard the sound of Wei Lin being knocked down from his wheelchair.
Then came a "squelch", perhaps something being cut...
A shrill scream squeezed out of Wei Lin's throat.
Followed by frantic cursing.
He cursed the board members, cursed the Gui family...
Ke Muning sat beside her listening with relish, saying softly: "What a beautiful play..."
Xiao Ya didn't speak.
She had told her second uncle to remember to call her grandfather during the interrogation so he could listen in too.
And she had Xing Siyun call her, as she wanted to listen in as well.
"It's just a pity..." Ke Muning said, turning to look at her, "None of them know this was planned by you."
"It's not a pity," Xiao Ya said softly. "From now on, they'll all be afraid of second uncle, and he'll have authority."
"Wouldn't it be better if they feared you directly?"
"No, I'm too young, they would still instinctively look down on me. But it's good that they underestimate me..."
"Oh? How is that good?"
Xiao Ya nodded slightly: "Mm, this way I can do more things in the future. And also..."
"And also what?"
"And also, what would adults do if they knew a child was very smart?"
Ke Muning's gaze shifted: "Kill her before she grows up and becomes more formidable."
"Mm, so let's just let them not know," Xiao Ya said.
Ke Muning was speechless.
This level of awareness was something even adults might not have. Who could willingly hide their brilliance?
Xiao Ya sat there listening to the screams and curses for a long time.
Until the sounds disappeared.
It wasn't clear if he had died or passed out from the pain.
Xiao Ya suddenly turned her head to look at Ke Muning: "I want to go back now."
Ke Muning pursed his lips: "What if I..." don't agree?
Aliali: 67358284d72ede93494505f5Before Ke Muning could finish the second half of his sentence,
Xiao Ya said: "Let's go, let's go see the ocean. You can also take me to other people's parties."
The surprise came too suddenly. Ke Muning didn't move, but asked: "Aren't you afraid of being exposed?"
Xiao Ya nodded and said in a soft voice: "It doesn't matter now, Wei Lin has already been dealt with by them. Even if they realize they made a mistake, they can't regret it. Not only can they not regret it, but after realizing their mistake, they'll only be more afraid of second uncle..."
"They'll think second uncle has very powerful methods."
Ke Muning had seen her madness and daring before, and now he fully witnessed her intelligence and restraint.
"And it's time to let everyone know that Ke Muning is someone who is good to me, not my enemy," Xiao Ya said her final words.
...And her sweetness.
Ke Muning marveled inwardly.
Then he bent down to pick her up, his eyes shining brightly: "Let's go, proclaim it to the world!"
