Xiao Wei looked at Xiao Chen's smile, a chill rising from the soles of his feet, up along his spine, and straight to the top of his head!
"You...what are you going to do...don't come over here!"
Xiao Wei was trembling, using his hands and feet, and kept retreating backwards.
"Save me, save me quickly!"
"Xiao Chen, what are you going to do!"
Xiao Bo shouted coldly, glaring at Xiao Chen.
"There is no evidence to prove that Xiao Wei poisoned me. Do you still want to force me to confess?"
"That's right, if there is no evidence, then look for evidence, slowly!"
"Ancestor, we can't let Xiao Chen do whatever he wants!"
Following Xiao Bo's words, people from his lineage began to speak up one after another.
Xiao Yi frowned. If there was no evidence and Xiao Chen just killed Xiao Wei like that, it would be really troublesome!
The most important thing is... who is the murderer!
"Xiao Chen, don't be impulsive."
Xiao Sheng hesitated for a moment and then spoke.
Although he also suspected that it was Xiao Wei, the person is dead now, the clues are gone, and there is no evidence to prove that it was Xiao Wei who ordered the servant to poison!
If Xiao Wei were really killed, Xiao Chen would probably have a lot of enemies in the Xiao family!
Including some neutral parties, even if they don't say anything openly, they will have opinions about Xiao Chen behind his back.
Like Xiao Lin, he also wanted Xiao Chen to return to the Xiao family.
If too many people really have a problem with Xiao Chen, it would be a trouble for Xiao Chen.
"I'm not impulsive."
Xiao Chen shook his head and looked at Xiao Bo.
"I'm increasingly suspicious that you're involved in this... Otherwise, why are you sitting still?"
"Nonsense, I just don't want to see you do whatever you want!"
Xiao Bo shouted angrily.
"Seventh Uncle, Fourth Brother, Fifth Brother, tell me, how many things have happened since Xiao Chen came to the Xiao family? He first cut off the white jade archway, then attacked the Xiao family, and killed Xiao Yunhong and others..."
After hearing Xiao Bo's words, Xiao Yi remained silent. Xiao Mian glanced at Xiao Yi but did not speak either.
It was the 'Old Four' that Xiao Bo mentioned who nodded and spoke slowly: "No matter what, killing someone without evidence is not justifiable... Why don't we take Xiao Wei into custody first, and then slowly investigate. If he really did it, then there are naturally family rules! If he didn't do it, then he shouldn't be wrongly accused!"
“That’s right!”
Many people nodded, saying this was a good idea.
"Oh, investigate slowly? If you guys take a year or so to investigate, will I still have to wait in the Xiao family for a year or so?"
Xiao Chen didn't give him face and sneered.
This old fellow is also from Xiao Bo's lineage, and his seniority is also very high, but he just doesn't come forward easily on weekdays.
"There is no evidence, so why do you kill people?"
The old man looked at Xiao Chen and his voice became a little colder.
"Uncle Qi, what do you think? This matter must be thoroughly investigated, not only to give an explanation to Xiao Sheng, but also for the stability of the Xiao family... But killing Xiao Wei like this, is it to vent personal hatred, or what?"
Xiao Yi looked at him, then at Xiao Chen. In fact, he was also in a difficult situation.
The best way, of course, is to conduct a thorough investigation and find evidence that Xiao Wei poisoned her.
But he also knew that Xiao Chen and Xiao Sheng were poisoned, and Xiao Sheng almost died. This... Xiao Chen couldn't swallow it!
Today, I'm afraid no one can stop Xiao Chen, including him!
He glanced at Xiao Sheng, then at Xiao Lin. Should he ask them to persuade Xiao Chen?
But after thinking about it, he suppressed the thought.
If I don't give Xiao Chen a satisfactory explanation tonight, I'm afraid... Xiao Chen will really leave the Xiao family and will never come back.
Xiao Chen was already disappointed with the Xiao family. He had said before that he would give Xiao Chen a satisfactory explanation, but he had not done it. Now if they were to put more pressure on him, not to mention Xiao Chen, even he would be upset.
"Investigate for a year or so? Oh, are you sure you want me to stay in the Xiao family for a year or so?"
Suddenly, Xiao Chen looked at the old man with a smile.
Hearing Xiao Chen's words, the old man was stunned at first, and then his expression changed slightly.
Yes, Xiao Chen has only been in the Xiao family for a few days and the Xiao family has become a mess. If he were to stay in the Xiao family for a year or two, what would happen to the Xiao family?
He couldn't imagine what the Xiao family had become, but he felt that these old guys could be tortured to death by Xiao Chen!
I guess even if you want to die of old age, you can’t do it!
Xiao Bo's heart sank. He must not let Xiao Chen stay that long... If Xiao Chen really stayed, even if he didn't do anything to him, he would probably not be able to sleep!
"Xiao Bo, will you let me stay?"
Just as Xiao Bo was wondering in his heart, Xiao Chen looked at Xiao Bo and asked.
"You don't have to stay at the Xiao family to investigate... You can go and do your own thing. When there is a result, I will naturally inform you!"
Xiao Bo said coldly.
"Notify me? Haha, I really don't trust you..."
Xiao Chen laughed mockingly.
"Alright, I've told you, no need for evidence... I'll make Xiao Wei admit it himself!"
"what are you up to!"
Xiao Bo stared at Xiao Chen and asked.
"Confessions under torture are impossible in the Xiao family!"
"I didn't say I would force you to confess!"
Xiao Chen shook his head and looked at Xiao Wei.
"If he hadn't poisoned me, I would have knelt down and kowtowed to him... I wouldn't care about the past anymore. How do you think?"
When Xiao Ming said that the person was dead just now, Xiao Wei was obviously relieved.
Maybe others didn't notice it, but Xiao Chen was staring at him and saw it.
Just based on this reaction, Xiao Chen was certain that it was Xiao Wei who poisoned him!
Otherwise, why would he feel relieved!
After hearing what Xiao Chen said, many people were stunned and curious at the same time. What was Xiao Chen going to do?
As long as it is not torture, it would be a good opportunity for Xiao Wei and the others to reconcile with Xiao Chen.
Of course, the premise is... Xiao Wei really didn't poison!
"No, Seventh Ancestor, you can detain me. I am willing to accept the investigation..."
To many people's surprise, Xiao Wei refused.
This made many people feel moved. He refused?
Could it be that... you feel guilty?
"You don't have a choice!"
Xiao Chen said this coldly, then grabbed Xiao Wei by the collar and lifted him up.
"Let me go, what are you going to do..."
Xiao Wei was frightened and began to struggle.
Xiao Bo frowned and wanted to speak, but Xiao Yi waved his hand to stop him.
"That's enough. No need to say anything. Since Xiao Chen said so, let him try! If it really wasn't Xiao Wei, Xiao Chen also said that he would kneel down and kowtow to erase the past!"
In Xiao Yi's opinion, this is a very good opportunity. The Xiao family is divided into three factions, so there can be competition, but it is not good to be like this now!
If it really wasn't Xiao Wei who did it, it would save a lot of trouble.
After hearing what Xiao Yi said, Xiao Bo opened his mouth but ended up saying nothing.
He looked at Xiao Wei, hoping that he could hold on!
“No, save me…Seventh Ancestor, save me!”
Xiao Wei was still struggling.
Bang!
Xiao Chen slapped him on the forehead.
Following Xiao Chen's palm strike, Xiao Wei's body trembled violently, and his consciousness became a little confused.
"you……"
Seeing this, Xiao Bo wanted to say something, but Xiao Yi looked at him coldly, making him swallow back the words that he had not yet finished.
Xiao Chen threw the Xuanyuan Sword to Bai Ye, activated his upper Dantian, and let the power of his soul fluctuate, casting a hypnotic spell.
Given his temper, there's no need for hypnosis, just kill him directly and be done with it.
However, now that it has come to this, he doesn't care. At most he can hypnotize Xiao Wei and ask!
Ever since his spiritual power became stronger, it has become much easier for him to perform hypnosis and the side effects will not be too serious.
As he performed hypnosis, his eyes changed, and his pupils became deep, like two black holes, swallowing everything.
"Xiao Wei, look at me!"
While Xiao Wei was a little dazed by the slap, Xiao Chen shouted softly.
Hearing Xiao Chen's words, Xiao Wei subconsciously looked at Xiao Chen.
When his eyes met Xiao Chen's pupils, his body trembled suddenly, as if he was deeply sunk into them.
Seeing this scene, many people's faces changed slightly. Is this... hypnosis?
Xiao Bo also noticed it, and his heart sank suddenly. Xiao Chen actually knew hypnosis?
Xiao Yi was also a little surprised. This kid...how much has he learned from the old fortune teller?
Not only is his ancient martial arts skills so powerful, his medical skills are also very impressive... he even knows hypnosis?
I wonder if he can also tell people’s fortunes?
Xiao Yi had this thought in his mind: what the old fortune teller is best at is fortune telling.
"Xiao Wei..."
Xiao Chen's voice became a little erratic.
His pupils were constantly changing, and at the same time, the power of his soul fluctuated, covering Xiao Wei.
At the same time, he made different gestures with his hands, dragging Xiao Wei into a hypnotic state.
Xiao Wei's expression gradually became a little dull, and he even forgot the pain.
Xiao Bo frowned. Oh no, he’s in a hypnotic state. Will he tell it out?
He really wanted to shout loudly to wake Xiao Wei from his hypnotic state, but after hesitating again and again, he didn't dare to.
If he did that, it would probably arouse suspicion.
"Xiao Wei, Xiao Wei, I have tried my best. Now it depends on you."
Xiao Bo muttered to himself, took a deep breath, calmed down, and watched silently.
After about two minutes, Xiao Chen's gestures stopped. Xiao Wei should have entered a deep hypnotic state at this moment.
"Xiao Wei, do you want to kill Xiao Chen?"
Xiao Chen looked at Xiao Wei and spoke slowly.
“…”
When hearing Xiao Chen's question, many people's eyelids jumped. Such a sharp question right at the beginning?
"think."
Xiao Wei replied.
After listening to Xiao Wei's answer, everyone's face changed slightly. He was really hypnotized!
However, Xiao Wei's answer of "yes" doesn't mean anything.
Based on the conflict between the two, it is normal for Xiao Wei to want to kill Xiao Chen.
"Xiao Wei, did you poison Xiao Chen and Xiao Sheng?"
Xiao Chen asked again.
"no."
Xiao Wei shook his head.
Hearing this answer, Xiao Chen frowned slightly. No?
The people around him also had different expressions. Xiao Bo was delighted. Could it be that Xiao Wei's consciousness still existed?
"You weren't the one who poisoned me today?"
Xiao Chen thought about it and asked again.
"Did you arrange for someone to poison him?"
"yes."
Xiao Wei replied.
Xiao Chen's eyes turned cold, it was indeed him!
The reason he answered no just now was because he was not the one who poisoned the person himself.
Because he was hypnotized, he was not conscious, so he said no.
Now if you ask the question in a different way, he will admit it.
