Chapter 110 Bad Guys and Good Deeds

Yu Zhiyi had a bad feeling.

When I got to the door, it was indeed as I expected.

Inside the opened door, everything was clearly visible.

This includes the burly man being held down on the ground, and You Bingyue, who is holding him down.

There was a knife on the ground not far away, about a meter or two from the burly man, and it looked like it had fallen there.

Yu Zhiyi remained silent.

You Bingyue, however, was quite pleased with herself. She raised her eyebrows and boasted to Du Ziheng, "I just saw this person climb through the window into this house. He had a knife with him, and it looked like he was going to hurt someone, so I subdued him."

Yu Zhiyi didn't want to talk.

Du Ziheng was also very happy, after all, You Bingyue had made a contribution, and he and the Prime Minister's Mansion were also proud.

Old Zhang looked completely bewildered: "This...this...isn't this Steward Ma? What's going on?"

You Bingyue said calmly, "Can't you see that? This guy wants to kill you."

Old Zhang was greatly alarmed.

Manager Ma struggled twice and shouted angrily, "Let me go! You crazy woman!"

Then he said to Old Zhang, "Old Zhang, don't listen to this woman's nonsense. I just came to Beijing on business and stopped by to see you. But I took the wrong street and ended up in the alley. I didn't want to go back, so I thought I'd climb in through the window."

He looked completely innocent: "I wanted to tell you, but I didn't know you weren't in the house. I had no choice but to come in first and prepare a surprise for you."

You Bingyue sneered: "Full of loopholes! What kind of decent family would climb through a window to visit? Isn't that just asking to be mistaken for a thief?"

"The long journey is no excuse for climbing through the window! Besides, I saw you with my own eyes waiting at the door with a knife, looking like you were about to kill someone at any moment!"

Manager Ma shouted, "I didn't! I just saw that the knife was sharp, so I picked it up and looked at it for a couple of seconds. I didn't mean anything by it! Old Zhang, you have to believe me, Old Zhang!"

The two men each had their own version of events, and Du Ziheng frowned.

Although he believed You Bingyue, if that man didn't admit it, then she was the one suspected of illegal entry.

After all, Steward Ma and Old Man Zhang knew each other. If Old Man Zhang also agreed that the other party was a guest, or if he had been persuaded, then today's matter could not be resolved peacefully.

He suddenly remembered something: "Zhiyi, did you come here to see Old Man Zhang?"

Yu Zhiyi looked at him coldly: "Thanks to you, what was originally a very simple matter has now become complicated."

According to Zhang Laohan's birth chart, he will suffer a bloody disaster today and is very likely to lose his life.

The murderer knew him and wanted to kill him to silence him.

The reason is that this person and Old Zhang's family used to work in the same village.

This steward was ruthless and greedy. Seeing that the owner of the estate was an orphan girl, he wanted to seize the estate.

He deliberately mixed good seeds with bad ones, deceiving the orphan girl into believing that the soil was not fertile enough, thus lowering her expectations for the harvest.

After the orphan girl became completely disillusioned with the farm's yield, he planted better seeds and gave her only one-fifth of the farm's produce in money and grain each year, keeping the remaining four-fifths for himself.

Several years passed, and he saved enough money to buy the estate. However, he unexpectedly discovered that the orphan girl had grown up and become quite beautiful, so he set his sights on her.

The girl lost both her parents at a young age and lacked love growing up. Although this man was six or seven years older than her, he was good-looking and knew how to make people happy, so he actually managed to win her over.

However, the good days didn't last long, and the orphan learned the truth about the decline in the farm's output that year.

Although the orphan girl was weak and helpless, she had a very strong and resolute character.

In the orphan's heart, he was a gentle, affectionate, and very reliable person. If she were to discover his true colors, she would not let it go.

Manager Ma used all his persuasive skills to temporarily calm her down, but in his heart he hated the informant.

He didn't know who the informant was, but he quickly narrowed it down to a few people.

After all, only a handful of people had access to those seeds back then.

Old Zhang was one of them.

So he wanted to kill him to silence him.

Unexpectedly, when he arrived, Old Zhang was out because his son had gone missing.

He was worried that Old Zhang would tell his family the secret, so he cruelly killed Old Zhang's parents and wife.

His methods of killing were very skillful, and he disguised them all as accidents. For a time, people could only sigh at the misfortune of Old Zhang's family, and no one thought of murder.

Years passed, and only Old Man Zhang remained in the Zhang family.

The man originally intended to kill Old Man Zhang two years ago, but seeing that Old Man Zhang had lost the will to live due to the disappearance of his son and the successive deaths of his relatives, and that he was also lame in one leg, he developed a different kind of wicked pleasure.

Let the old man live a miserable life. He can come over from time to time to observe the old man's miserable state. Isn't that a kind of fun in life?

That's how Old Man Zhang managed to save his life.

The reason he wanted to kill someone was because he heard that someone was going to help Old Man Zhang find his son.

In the past few years, as Old Zhang has become increasingly lonely and older, his neighbors have stopped paying attention to him.

Manager Ma wasn't worried about the secret being leaked.

But it's different if someone wants to help him find his son.

If even a single clue were to leak out, it would be a catastrophe for him. So he planned out today's events and even devised an escape route.

The reason Yu Zhiyi insisted on having this person take action was because too much time had passed since the man committed the crime, and the man was extremely cautious, having already disposed of all the evidence.

Even if she has the ability to read faces and can see the process of this person committing the crime, but... without finding any evidence, the other party can easily accuse her of talking nonsense.

It's better to catch the thief red-handed.

As a result, the two people ruined the whole plan!

Under her icy gaze, Du Ziheng felt inexplicably guilty: "I...I'm sorry."

You Bingyue: "Why are you apologizing to her? She's just jealous of me! Jealous that I saved someone and did a good deed!"

Then he looked at Yu Zhiyi: "Aren't you supposed to be able to see through a person's past and present life with just one glance? With such great abilities, you should be able to tell that what I'm saying is true, right?"

Thinking of something, a wicked smile curled at the corner of her lips: "Or is it that you don't want to acknowledge my excellence, so you're going to collude with this murderer to frame me?"

“Bingyue, Zhiyi isn’t that kind of person.” Du Ziheng frowned.

You Bingyue felt a chill run through her: "Du Ziheng, I misjudged you!"

Her usually cold and strong eyes welled up with tears: "She's not that kind of person. Am I really someone who likes to lie?!"

Du Ziheng waved his hands repeatedly: "That's not what I meant..."

Just as the two were about to put on a delightful romantic scene, several constables pushed through the crowd and walked over.
