"Ah! Ho ho ho..." Old Mrs. Chen waved her hands wildly, pleading for help with her eyes.
It's just that no one has time to pay attention to her right now.
The crowd below gasped in shock. It turned out that Chen Zhengxin's suspicion that his wife was having an affair was actually a scheme orchestrated by the Chen family head.
"Planning for a child while the baby is still in the womb so early is terrifying."
"The key point is that even Old Mrs. Chen knew about it."
"This family is terrifying!"
Chen Zhengxin turned around abruptly, looking at Chen Zhenghong and Pan Weiyin in disbelief, and said with difficulty, "She...is what she said true?"
Pan Weiyin shook her head and immediately retorted, "How could that be true? Second brother, she's a ghost! She's not Su Mei. How could she possibly know about the Chen family? She's trying to sow discord between us. Are you really going to believe a ghost and doubt your mother and eldest brother?"
Seeing this, Chen Zhenghong said in a deep voice, "Second brother, how could we have plotted against Chen Ke before he was even born? How could we have known that he would be born to be incompatible with the Dao? She is just trying to provoke us. We should quickly join forces with the rest of you to subdue her."
Chen Zhengxin looked hesitant and pained, unsure of whom to trust.
"You know that." A calm voice rang out, and everyone looked closely to see that it was Chen Daozhi who spoke.
His voice was extremely calm: "My maternal grandfather was a retired fortune teller. He could have known by casting a divination to calculate my destiny."
"You unfilial brat! What are you saying?!"
"Ho ho ho..." Old Mrs. Chen suddenly opened her eyes wide.
“Dao, Daozhi, you…” Pan Weiyin couldn’t believe that Chen Daozhi was speaking.
Chen Daozhi's words directly confirmed Bai Zhiyun's words. Chen Zhengxin collapsed to the ground in disbelief, his eyes filled with shock.
Was it all a scheme orchestrated by his brother and mother?
"Why?" Chen Zhengxin looked at Chen Ke, who was expressionless below the stage, with a sudden, piercing pain.
His wife, her eyes filled with anticipation as she stroked her belly, suddenly appeared before him. "Zhengxin, are you looking forward to the birth of our son?"
"Of course, I will love him very much and be the best father I can be."
The promises he made back then felt like a heavy slap in the face. Not only did he fail to love him properly, he also abandoned him, giving all his fatherly love to the culprit.
He's the dumbest person in the world, completely fooled by his own family!
The crowd below looked at Chen Ke with sympathy. With such a vicious uncle and aunt and such a stupid father, Chen Ke was only alive because of himself. Now that he knew all this, they must be heartbroken.
Chen Ke watched everything happening on stage as if it were a play, remaining even more composed than the actual audience.
For the original owner, these people had already taken his life, so the truth and remorse were no longer important. For Chen Ke, these people were already corpses, so they were even less important.
On the stage, Chen Zhengxin looked remorseful and pained, each word seemingly forced out from between his teeth, "...Why, why did you do this!"
Pan Weiyin seemed to have been driven mad by Chen Daozhi's words. She laughed maniacally, "Why? Why? Your son was born to be incompatible with my son. It's either you or me who will die. Of course I have to protect my son. He is the future hope of the Chen family. He has extraordinary talent. Tell me, if you compare the two, who would this old woman choose?"
Hearing these words was like a bolt from the blue for Chen Zhengxin. Endless regret struck his heart like a hammer, causing him unbearable pain.
"Hahaha..." Pan Weiyin laughed bitterly, "But what did I get in return for all this? Hahaha... betrayal. In the end, the one who stabbed me in the back was the very person I had protected so much. Hehehe, Chen Daozhi, how could you face me and your father for everything we did for you!"
Chen Daozhi, however, turned a deaf ear.
"Hehehe..." A sinister laugh suddenly broke the silence. "Bai Zhiyun" stretched out her pale, slender fingers and beckoned to Chen Daozhi. "Brother Daozhi, come here."
Chen Daozhi stood up blankly and walked straight toward "Bai Zhiyun".
"Oh no! We've been tricked! Daozhi has been controlled by this Ghost King!" Chen Zhenghong suddenly shouted.
Pan Weiyin, heartbroken, was stunned for a moment, then sobbed twice in shock. She looked at Chen Daozhi, whose condition was obviously off, and then at Chen Zhengxin, who was gritting his teeth with hatred towards them. A chill ran through her.
It's over, it's over, she confessed without being asked, now everything's ruined...
"Everyone, this Ghost King is trying to kill our Chen family and is targeting you all. Please don't stand idly by and join us in eliminating this ghost!" Chen Zhenghong was extremely anxious. If they didn't stop it soon, Chen Daozhi would be in danger.
"Heh heh heh, unfaithful men, they all deserve to die..."
The ghostly voice faded, and a chilling wind arose.
The surroundings changed drastically. Waves of malevolent energy surged in from all directions, and countless vengeful ghosts swarmed in, instantly turning the place into a hellish realm.
"Ah, activate the talisman, kill!"
"amnesty!"
"Go!" Everyone immediately began to use their magical artifacts.
"Wuwuwuwu..." Miao Lingyu played her flute, but the invincible Gu worms had no effect on the ghosts. She herself was protected by a magic artifact, but her clansmen behind her suffered. Just as she was extremely anxious, Chen Ke struck down with a wooden fish, directly knocking away a large number of them.
"What kind of magical artifact is this? It's so powerful!" Miao Lingyu was extremely shocked.
"It's just a small wooden fish. To catch the thief, you must first catch the king. That ghost king is possessing a living person with a pure Yin destiny. It will be more effective for you to attack her with Gu worms!"
