Chapter 612 Zhong Yi, You Are Not a Good Person Either
The man noticed that Zhong Lingxiao's gaze was also somewhat evasive.
When he entered the door, he respectfully called out "Old Master".
The old man of the Zhong family looked at the two half-brothers in front of him and said, "Ling Xiao, Ayi asked you if you have found the culprit who drugged you. Why don't you say anything?"
"I……"
Zhong Lingxiao originally wanted to make some excuses to shirk responsibility, but when he saw the person being brought in, he immediately dared not make up any more lies.
Old Master Zhong said coldly, "Kneel down."
Zhong Lingxiao knelt straight on the ground.
Old Master Zhong pointed his cane at the waiter who had been brought in and said, "Tell me everything clearly and don't hide anything."
"Yes, old man."
The attendant's body was shaking like a sieve, and his voice trembled as he said, "I was in charge of the drinks at the engagement party. Someone found me this morning and gave me 100,000 yuan in cash and a packet of medicine. They told me to find the right moment to put the medicine into Master Zhong's glass. I... I was careful at the time and even took a picture of the man. But... I never found the opportunity to do it."
He took out his cell phone and the housekeeper took it and showed it to the old man.
The old man turned his eyes away, without even glancing at him, and ordered, "Take him away and keep him under good care."
"Yes, old man."
Zhong Lingxiao knelt on the ground, his knees aching. His heart was in turmoil, and he was even more shocked by what the attendant said.
What does it mean that he didn't find an opportunity to drug her?
Could it be that Zhong Yi is playing tricks again?
Suddenly, a crutch hit his thigh: "Kneel down."
Zhong Lingxiao gritted his teeth and straightened his back. He really didn't understand how Zhong Yi could keep kneeling.
Old Master Zhong spoke slowly, "Ling Xiao, don't you have anything you want to say to me? You should know that once I have a suspicion, there is no truth that I cannot uncover."
Zhong Lingxiao's face turned pale: "Old Master, I don't know what you are talking about."
"Butler, slap your face."
Old Master Zhong said coldly.
The butler, representing the old man, walked up and slapped Zhong Lingxiao on the cheek.
A palm print soon appeared on Zhong Lingxiao's handsome face.
Old Master Zhong pointed at the two brothers with his cane and said, "One is two-faced and harbors evil intentions, while the other is playing along with the other and has other ulterior motives. Neither of you two brothers is worry-free."
"Zhong Lingxiao, when you bribed someone to drug your own brother and humiliate him, did you ever consider the reputation of the Zhong family? You brought so many people to catch the adulterer, making the marriage between the two families a joke. Have you ever considered the interests of the Zhong family? Since I brought people to the Zhong family, I have evidence of your actions. Stop denying it."
"I...but the servant said he didn't find a chance to drug her." Zhong Lingxiao's voice became softer and softer as he defended himself.
Someone made the same choice as him.
And it worked!
Old Master Zhong struck him hard on the back with his cane. "If your people had succeeded, you wouldn't have knelt before me and repented. If you had such intentions, you should have kept them hidden. It's wrong for me to catch you by the tail."
He just thought that Zhong Lingxiao was not smart enough, and did not think there was anything wrong with using tricks.
There's only one heir, so competition is normal. However, the means used to compete shouldn't affect the Zhong family, and even if you have the ability, don't let anyone catch you.
Zhong Lingxiao felt that he was in the wrong and kept silent.
Zhong Yi smiled slightly. Old Master Zhong walked up to him and said coldly, "What are you laughing at? You're not a good person either."
"Old man, I am the victim."
"How can you be considered a victim? You've been very shrewd since childhood. I don't believe you can't avoid tonight's situation. You clearly want to piss me off for getting engaged to Lu Yingxue. I know exactly what you're thinking."
Old Master Zhong warned: "Don't forget what I said. If you think about that woman again, I will take action myself."
Zhong Yi put away the smile on his face and looked at the old man quietly.
"Kneel down."
Old Master Zhong ordered in a cold voice.
He picked up his crutch and hit Zhong Yi hard on the back, once, twice.
He hit me with every blow, showing no mercy.
Bang!
Bang!
Twenty times in total!
Zhong Yi gritted her teeth and didn't make a sound. She even had the mood to tease him at the end: "Grandpa, the doctor said that I'm weak from the drugs I took and it's easy to damage my foundation. If I really can't have children, you can only pin all your hopes on my eldest brother."
"You bastard, you always make people angry."
After Old Master Zhong sneered, he took out his crutch and hit Zhong Lingxiao hard.
Zhong Lingxiao couldn't help but cry out in pain, and Zhong Yi turned around to look at him with a playful look in his eyes.
Bang!
Zhong Lingxiao was so angry that he endured the twenty blows.
Beads of sweat formed on his forehead, and he looked rather disheveled. He was much older than Zhong Yi, and his physical condition wasn't as good as his.
After being beaten, he could no longer hold on.
But Old Master Zhong was determined to teach them a lesson. He said, "Go kneel in the ancestral hall and sincerely confess your sins to your ancestors. You cannot come out without my permission. No one can give them a sip of water or a bite of food. I want you to remember that internal strife is allowed, but it cannot harm the interests of the Zhong family."
"Take him away!"
He spoke loudly.
The bodyguards dragged Zhong Yi and Zhong Lingxiao to their feet and took them directly to the Zhong Clan Ancestral Hall. Two cushions were placed before them, and the housekeeper stood by with a stern face, looking as if he would keep a close eye on them.
Zhong Yi and Zhong Lingxiao were in pain all over, but they still had to kneel straight.
Zhong Lingxiao lost the gentle demeanor he displayed in front of outsiders, and said with a sullen face, "My men didn't find an opportunity to attack, so how did you poison me? Are you trying to drag me into this, hurting the enemy by a thousand and hurting yourself by eight hundred?"
He always knew that this illegitimate child was decisive, cruel to others and even crueler to himself.
I like that you can do this!
Zhong Lingxiao still remembered the old man's words in his heart. What kind of woman is Zhong Yi thinking about!
Is that a weakness?
Zhong Yi looked straight ahead, and said calmly, "If you think so, I can't help it."
This was a bit shameless, making Zhong Lingxiao even more angry.
He took a deep breath and said, "Zhongyi, don't forget the conditions set by the old man for the successor. Lin Xifei is pregnant, and the doctor says the baby is very healthy. Can you get this ticket before the end of the year?"
Zhong Yi glanced at him indifferently, with an inexplicable smile in her eyes: "Then you must keep this ticket. If I can't get it, I might go crazy and attack pregnant women."
"you……"
Zhong Lingxiao didn't expect him to be so direct.
It seems that he has to protect Lin Xifei well and not let Zhong Yi succeed.
Zhong Yi looked at his expression and smiled faintly.
It would be best to protect Lin Xifei tightly, but there is still a hurdle to overcome with the old man.
After three months, a DNA test will be conducted to determine whether Zhong Lingxiao's admission ticket is valid.
It's all up to him!
After all, he knew best who Lin Xifei's child was.
