The sudden change was beyond everyone's expectations.
I had prepared other surprises, but it seemed that Helian Rui had already suffered a great blow. No matter what, I couldn't make it more difficult for him to accept it.
The adopted daughter he raised himself was the murderer of his own son. He also helped the woman to erase all evidence. Perhaps all the beliefs that supported him collapsed at this moment.
Jiang Luoning looked at the depressed people. He defeated them all without any effort. The little girl had no other interests and was about to ask her grandfather about how to deal with them when Dongfang Han arrived late; followed by a person that no one expected - Dong Zicheng.
The man was sitting in a wheelchair and was slowly pushed in by Heishan. Although his face looked normal, his leg muscles were still unable to maintain his normal walking due to years of bed rest. But his appearance at this moment was enough to deal a heavy blow to the few people who had already lost their lives.
"Zicheng! You! How could you!"
The first to speak was Mrs. Dong. She looked at her husband with uneasiness and stepped back subconsciously, as if the man in front of her was a monster. Helian Rui was even more incredulous, staring at the man without saying a word. Dong Siqing, who was already emotionally broken, was even more frightened and lay on the ground, not daring to move.
Only Chen Xu's eyes turned red and his lips trembled when he saw his father whom he had not seen for a long time. He was stunned for a long time and finally called out the long-lost father.
Hearing the familiar voice, Dong Zicheng slowly turned his head to look at the boy, revealing a smile that seemed to be from another world. The corners of his mouth unconsciously rose, and he responded softly: "Hey, my good boy! Father is fine!"
Upon hearing this, Chen Xu gritted his teeth and tried hard to control his emotions to prevent himself from crying too embarrassingly. Although he was a little confused, he looked at Dongfang Han who came in with his father, and still tried to bury his upper body and thank the man.
Seeing this, Dongfang Han hurried forward to help up the young man who was leaning towards him, and smiled slightly, which was the most affirmative response.
Knowing that this was not the time for a long-awaited greeting, Dong Zicheng withdrew his gaze from the young man and fixed his eyes on the people on the ground. He spoke softly, his voice a little hoarse, but extremely forbearing; "My dear wife and godfather, have you ever thought that I am still alive!"
There was no warmth in his words, like a devil returning from hell. A simple sentence made the two of them feel biting cold. After all, Dong Zicheng knew too many of their secrets, which was why he poisoned him without mercy and made him bedridden.
"Helian Rui, I heard that you've been pursuing the imperial capital's aristocratic families for so many years. Is it because you're looking for that legendary treasure?"
Seeing that his goal had been achieved, Dongfang Han silently pushed Dong Zicheng to the side next to Chen Xu, stared at the two men who had never dared to speak, and went straight to the point without any hesitation; but he would not give the man a chance to answer, and after a brief pause, he continued to narrate the non-existent secret that they had always dreamed of.
"Your humble mother told you this news, didn't she? Oh, she's so naive, thinking that knowing a few words can just make up a precious heirloom out of thin air? How ridiculous! Why don't you let me tell you today about the ancient book she didn't read in its entirety?"
"Didn't your mother tell you that there's a dragon and phoenix vein in the back hills of the aristocratic family's old residence in the imperial capital, and that within the phoenix vein are endless treasures! Yes, there is such a place, but buried there aren't treasures, but the clothes and headgear of the princess and her husband from the past. And that so-called dragon and phoenix vein is actually the cemetery of our Dongfang family. Inside, there are not only the princess and her husband, but also the ancestors of our Chizun clan!"
"No! Impossible! Don't try to fool me! My mother and the others said that only girls can enter the Phoenix Vein! How do you explain this?"
"Of course, only daughters can enter. The Dongfang family's cemetery is divided into two areas, the Dragon and the Phoenix. If there are children who are married, they will be buried in the two veins separately."
"Oh, impossible! You lied to me!"
"You still don't believe me? Then I'll show you this ancient book, okay?"
After saying that, Heishan threw the ancient book in his pocket at the man's face. Seeing the cover described on the letter left by his mother, he immediately picked it up and checked. Sure enough, what was recorded in the book was exactly the same as Dongfang Hangang said.
The only belief that supported him collapsed again. Helian Rui tore the ancient book in his hand into pieces like a madman. Ah Xing hurriedly tried to stop him, but was stopped by Heishan. Dongfang Han complained in a very stubborn manner: "Why are you so excited? It's a replica! He is not qualified to look at the things of the Hermit Family!"
After hearing this, everyone felt relieved. The farce was finally over.
The three old men no longer wanted to stay with these like-minded villains, so they left in a hurry without even a glance.
