Chapter 75 Murder and Skinning?
"That traitor Shen Wuyang didn't get a single benefit; he's a complete waste!"
"Stop talking! It'll only alert them."
The sound disappeared, and Su Meng was certain that the person she had met today was not her father, Su Mianzhi.
It must have been someone named Xie Qi in disguise.
Upon hearing her words, Ah Da and Huo Zhenhua immediately understood.
Xie Qi must be from this family. They spent a long time with the seriously injured Su Mianzhi, and through their cunning and unpreparedness, they learned about Su Mianzhi's abilities to a great extent.
"Alas! I only hope that the patriarch still has a breath left." Ah Da's sorrow was swallowed by the darkness, leaving no echo.
Su Meng rubbed her sore nose hard and said in a muffled voice, "This is clearly a wolf's den, not Grandpa's old home."
First, Shen Wuyang went directly to Shanghai to impersonate her father, and then Xie Qi impersonated Su Mianzhi with ill intentions, leading them to the village.
Why are they targeting the Su family?
The Su family probably doesn't have anything that others would covet, except for the wealth accumulated over generations.
Could it be that they also want to find the wealth hidden by the Su family ancestors?
Suddenly, Ah Da's voice came from the darkness, "Xiao Meng, were those words really spoken by people outside?"
Su Meng, not understanding why, naturally replied, "Yes!"
Ah Da gasped, remained silent for a moment, and then said with emotion, "I didn't expect that after ten years of neglecting martial arts, your hearing is better than mine."
"What a waste of such a promising martial arts talent!"
Su Meng was stunned: "...Didn't you hear that?"
Huo Zhenhua: "No."
Ah Da also truthfully said, "I didn't hear clearly."
So, her hearing is indeed very good; it should be said that it's a bit better than Ah Da's this time.
He could clearly sense that he was being watched when they left the train station, but she was completely unaware.
This means...this means...does the fact that a mountain just appeared in the space mean that the space has been upgraded?
At the same time, her hearing has also improved.
She racked her brains to think of reasons why her hearing had become stronger, and tried to try again.
In the quiet of the night, every sound is amplified.
Suddenly, they heard someone trying to pry open the door latch.
She immediately fed Ah Da and Huo Zhenhua each an antidote pill, then pretended to be fast asleep.
The person who arrived was Xie Qi.
He stood against the light at the door, glanced at the three sleeping people through the crack in the door, scoffed, and ordered, "Go do what you're supposed to do!"
With his frail body, even if Su Mianzhi's trusted aide, Ah Da, returned, we could easily crush him.
"Shouldn't we feed them some more poison?"
"No need! We'll need them tomorrow, we can't let them die so easily."
"Do you believe that Shen Wuyang didn't get a single penny from the Su family?"
"whispering sound!......"
As the conversation faded into the distance, silence returned.
A faint, soft breathing sound could be heard in the courtyard.
Su Meng tiptoed to the window and saw a person lying on the branch of a pink flowering tree. She immediately discussed with Ah Da and Huo Zhenhua, "Why don't we kidnap that person and interrogate him?"
Otherwise, on this secluded island, completely in the dark, a single misstep could mean certain death.
Ah Da shifted his body and sighed, "It's a pity my body won't allow it, otherwise I would have turned this little village upside down long ago."
Huo Zhenhua looked at A'da with admiration and said in a deep voice, "I'll go."
Although he didn't have Ah Da's superb skills, he was confident that he could easily kidnap a villager.
Su Meng handed him the medicine powder, "Be careful!"
In just over ten breaths, Huo Zhenhua brought a man who looked like he had no bones into the house.
He said, "Your muscle-relaxing powder is quite good!"
He first praised Su Meng, then looked at A'da and said, "Uncle, you ask."
Ah Da Zi didn't deny it and asked the man, "What did you do to Su Mianzhi?"
Just as the man was about to curse, Su Meng stabbed him in the acupoint of speech.
She coldly rebuked, "This is just to prevent you from speaking. If you disobey again, I'll make you wish you were dead. Understand?"
In the dim light streaming in through the window, the man made two "woo-woo" sounds, and then, realizing he could finally speak, his excited voice grew louder, "I understand."
Su Meng impatiently gave him another injection.
He finally behaved himself!
"Tell me, what did you do to the head of the Su family?"
"He should have died long ago! Xie Qi's face is his."
Upon hearing this, Su Meng felt as if she had fallen into an icy abyss. She was completely stunned, devoid of thought and her five senses.
Deep in his heart, only the thought echoed—he was long dead, and Xie Qi's face was his.
So, they killed and skinned the victims just to impersonate Su Mianzhi.
These people deserve to die!
Su Meng trembled all over, her ten fingers curling up and digging into her palms without her even realizing it.
Smelling the blood, Huo Zhenhua tenderly grasped her fist and gently stroked it, trying to give her warmth and strength.
Ah Da was also deeply shocked. He was breathing heavily, let out a muffled groan, and spat out a mouthful of blood.
The air suddenly froze.
The atmosphere was oppressive and sad.
Huo Zhenhua kicked the man and asked in a low voice, "Aren't you afraid of retaliation from the Su family?"
The man, feeling confident and fearless, was about to burst into laughter when he caught sight of the silver needle in Su Meng's hand. His voice involuntarily softened, "Of course, it's for the Su family's wealth."
Xie Qi said that the Su family is the richest family in Shanghai, with wealth comparable to that of a country.
If we get it, we won't have to worry about making a living every day.
"Was this Xie Qi's idea?" A Da asked in a trembling voice.
"It was our clan chief's idea. Besides, his maternal uncle is our second uncle."
My second uncle failed to fulfill his filial duties to the clan, and the Su family has an obligation to dedicate everything to make up for his family's lack of filial piety.
Upon hearing this, Su Meng laughed out loud, "Do you know that your second uncle's family went into hiding more than ten years ago?"
"What? You're lying! My second uncle is so capable, how could he possibly hide?"
Su Meng was unwilling to say more, and then asked, "Where is Shen Wuyang? Who is impersonating him?"
"How did you know? He..."
Before he could finish speaking, a metallic smell wafted over, and his voice abruptly stopped.
Huo Zhenhua said regretfully, "He's dead. It doesn't seem like he committed suicide by poisoning himself. Strange!"
Ah Da said quietly, "It must have been sealed by a curse. There must have been some corpse-dissolving powder. Take care of it."
Huo Zhenhua looked at Su Meng in surprise, but remained silent.
Only then did he glimpse some of the methods used by wealthy families.
Without hesitation, Su Meng took out a small porcelain bottle. Her movements were somewhat mechanical, but she showed no sign of backing down or being afraid.
"The medicinal herbs are too rare, and I only have two or three bottles."
Oh! I still need to save one bottle for Shen Wuyang.
I refuse to believe that he can still jump around after using the corpse-dissolving powder; if I do, I'll take his surname.
Two soft laughs rang out from the darkness.
Ah Da sighed, "If the patriarch is watching from heaven, he will surely bless you to avenge yourself. You've fought with Shen Wuyang?"
Seeing that Su Meng was busy, Huo Zhenhua said to himself, "He was shot in the back of the heart, but unfortunately, he didn't die!"
Ah Da propped himself up and lay down, his breath a little weak, but he kept his eyes open and refused to sleep: "Some people's hearts are just naturally crooked."
Next time you deal with bad guys, it's best to use poison on the bullets for a guaranteed hit.
Hearing him say that, Huo Zhenhua didn't say anything, but he agreed in his heart.
There's no need for mercy when dealing with bad people, so when he saw Su Meng using corpse-dissolving powder, he didn't stand on some high ground to condemn her.
Perhaps, if it were him, he certainly wouldn't have been as restrained and calm as Su Meng and A Da.
"Uncle, shall we continue to deal with each move as it comes?"
