How can it be said that there are no men? Who is this woman?
Upon hearing this after being rescued, Steward Wei's eyes immediately lit up with unexpected joy. "So it's the master who has arrived! May I ask if this lady's surname is Jiang?"
Jiang Huaiyu smiled slightly and replied warmly, "Not bad, you actually recognize me?"
Despite his trembling legs, Manager Wei stepped forward and loudly proclaimed to the crowd in the workshop, "Heaven has helped us! It is truly our great boss who has come to our rescue!"
Cao Xin looked puzzled, his voice low and firm: "What big boss? I've never heard of such a person before?"
"Have you ever heard that this has nothing to do with me, but today your end has come?"
Cao Xin smiled contemptuously and said sarcastically, "What threat can a mere woman pose to me?"
Jiang Huaiyu's tone was calm but revealed an undisguised sharpness: "I may not be able to subdue you directly, but you have imprisoned innocent people here and abused your power. Do you know what kind of crime this is?"
"Am I one who is controlled by fear!"
Cao Xin sneered repeatedly: "Even if you really are the owner of the workshop, so what? Cao Shuwan controls the workshop, and naturally I have a share of its rights. But she committed a capital crime. Whether she compensates me for the workshop or it is taken back by her clan, her share will ultimately fall into my hands. In that case, what wrong have I done as the person who manages the workshop?"
Jiang Huaiyu shook his head gently, his tone tinged with helplessness: "Unfortunately, Miss Cao did not commit an unforgivable crime. On the contrary, the one who should pay for your father's life is not her, but you."
Cao Xin's heart skipped a beat, and she angrily retorted, "You're talking nonsense!"
"Whether I am speaking nonsense or not, you know as clearly as the stars in your heart. Your father raised you to adulthood, but unexpectedly you became the executioner of your own destiny. How much grief and indignation must he feel?"
"Shut up, you bitch!"
Cao Xin's eyes were sharp as she angrily lunged at Jiang Huaiyu, but before she could even touch him, Ling Mo kicked her away, sending her flying. She was then quickly subdued by Li Kui, who tied her hands behind her back, rendering her unable to move.
Jiang Huaiyu continued, "I heard that when that doctor left, your father was still clinging to life. He suffered such a terrible blow. He could have exposed your crimes, but he chose to remain silent, bearing all the suffering alone, protecting you, his unfilial son, until his last breath. Alas, although your father was not a good person, he truly fulfilled the responsibilities of a father to you. And you..."
"Cao Xin, you committed the crime of patricide with your own hands and then framed others for it. Such behavior is inhumane, unfilial, and cold-blooded. How can you sleep peacefully at night after such an act?"
Cao Xin tried to cover his ears, but his hands were bound, and he could only shout helplessly.
"Stop talking! Shut up!"
His face was as pale as paper.
Jiang Huaiyu's words were like sharp blades, piercing through his psychological defenses step by step.
That's right, he was the one who personally committed the poisoning.
On that dark night, his father was fast asleep. He silently sneaked into the room, pressed his father down tightly, and punched his father's lower abdomen repeatedly through the quilt until the father was no longer able to resist.
Cao Xin still remembers the look of despair and sorrow in her father's eyes at that time.
During these days, he would be awakened by nightmares late at night. In his dreams, his father would angrily scold him for being unfilial and would take his life, as would his mother, grandfather, grandmother, and all the deceased relatives of the Cao family.
Why blame me?
Cao Xin's face was contorted with rage as he struggled desperately to retort, "If he hadn't died back then, our whole family would have been in dire straits! Rather than letting our lives be lost at the hands of the gambling den, why not use them to gain my profits? What's wrong with that?"
Jiang Huaiyu pressed him sternly, "Do you admit that you killed your father?"
"Hmph, that good-for-nothing couldn't even handle two women. What's the loss of him?"
Cao Xin burst into maniacal laughter, “Although he has perished, his son, I, have survived and inherited everything from the Cao family mother and daughter. Isn’t this a worthwhile deal?”
Jiang Huaiyu's gaze slowly swept over everyone present.
Did you all hear that?
All eyes were on Cao Xin, and they listened intently to every word he spoke, their shock evident in their expressions.
How could there be such an insane person in the world?
How dare he kill his own father? A collective gasp filled the courtyard.
"Did Cao Xin really kill his own father?"
"My God, how dare he commit such a heinous crime?"
"This is utterly inhuman! This kind of scum doesn't deserve to be human and should be punished by being torn to pieces!"
...
The surrounding rebukes grew louder and louder. Cao Xin seemed to wake up from a dream, glaring fiercely at Jiang Huaiyu.
"You despicable creature, are you deceiving me?"
"Isn't this an undeniable fact? Cao Xin, a murderer must pay with his life. You must bear the consequences of your actions."
"Damn it! You all deserve to die!"
Cao Xin fought back fiercely, but was never able to break free from Li Kui's control.
Jiang Huaiyu ignored him and turned to Ling Mo beside her, "Li Kui is young, but his skills are quite remarkable."
Ling Mo gently shook his head, "He has an impatient personality, and his martial arts skills still need to be honed."
Jiang Huaiyu smiled slightly, "Just now, Young Master Ling was able to defeat Cao Xin with just a pebble. With your expert guidance, Li Kui will surely become a hero in the future."
"Get out of the way!"
A sudden shout came from the doorway. It turned out that the inn's waiter had entered, followed by two other waiters, each carrying a large wooden bucket.
