"I..." Wang Yong looked at Su Momo, gritted his teeth, and said with a death-defying resolve, "I don't know anything, cut me if you want! Kill me if you want!"
Upon hearing his words, Yao Ling laughed in fury: "You killed her, didn't you! A year ago, you met Su Momo, and in order to climb up the social ladder to the Su family, you cruelly murdered Wei Wenxiu, who was your wife at the time!"
Yao Ling glared at Wang Yong with resentment and continued, "Then you abandoned Wei Wenxiu's body and your son in the mountains. At such a young age, he could only guard his mother's corpse, hiding in a cave every day."
"He was deprived of sunlight for long periods of time, so his skin was pale and he suffered from severe anemia. In order to survive, he could only eat insects and small animals."
"A normal child has been turned into this because of your selfishness! Wang Yong, do you even have a heart?!" Yao Ling pointed at the bloodthirsty demon child, her voice filled with anger and passion as she questioned him.
The bloodthirsty demon child's eyes were already full of tears. He looked at Wang Yong with hatred and incomprehension in his eyes.
During that lonely year, he probably asked himself countless times why his father didn't want his mother anymore, and why he didn't want him anymore.
Qingxi tugged at Su Momo and said hatefully, "Look at this! This is the man you betrayed your family to marry! A man who would kill his wife and abandon his children for wealth and glory!"
Su Momo's face was pale as she stared blankly at Wang Yong and asked, "Brother Yong, is everything she said true?"
Wang Yong never expected that Yao Ling would uncover all of these things; his mask was completely torn off.
Wang Yong roared, "You bunch of people who were born into wealthy families, who have everything! How could you understand the suffering of someone like me who came from a humble background? All I wanted was to climb the social ladder, what did I do wrong!"
"All I want is to live a better life, what's wrong with that! Why do you all have to block my way, why do you have the right to criticize me! Do you think you're so noble?"
Mu Jinnian rolled her eyes at him. "Stop pretending to be wronged. It's true that people strive for better things, but that's no excuse for killing your wife and abandoning your child! If you hadn't been so ruthless back then, would he have turned out like this?!"
"Now you think you can cover up your crimes with just the excuse that you want to climb the ladder?"
Wang Yong was speechless after Mu Jinnian's retort, and could only glare fiercely at everyone with his eyes.
Yao Ling pointed her sword at him and said coldly, "Since you said you killed my aunt because you wanted to live well, then I now want to kill you so I can live well too. You don't have any objections to that, do you?!"
She knew all too well that reasoning with such people was a complete waste of breath; their logic lay only in the tip of their swords.
Seeing the sharp longsword, Wang Yong took a few steps back in fear, his previous fierce demeanor completely gone, and he repeatedly pleaded:
"I was wrong, I was wrong, please give me another chance! I don't want to die!"
Wang Yong's pleas for mercy did not shake Yao Ling's resolve in the slightest. Thinking of her aunt who had doted on her since childhood, Yao Ling exerted force and stabbed straight at Wang Yong.
Su Momo screamed, "No!"
Mu Jinnian quickly grabbed her hand, and the long sword stopped in front of Wang Yong's chest.
"Yao Ling, calm down. Hand him over to the Dali Temple! If you lay a hand on him, you'll be breaking the law!"
Yao Ling's eyes reddened. "This kind of person deserves to die! Even if it means breaking the law, I will kill him!"
Seeing that Yao Ling was blinded by hatred and didn't want her to do anything foolish, Zhen Shaoqing stepped forward and advised, "Yao Ling, according to the laws of our dynasty, the crimes he committed should be punished by hanging! Don't ruin your life!"
Only after hearing Zhen Shaoqing's words did Yao Ling slowly put down her longsword.
Zhen Shaoqing immediately ordered Wang Yong to be taken into custody.
After everyone calmed down, Zhen Shaoqing sighed and said, "Alas, I never thought that this bloodthirsty demon child was also a child with a tragic fate. Now that we know the reason for his pale skin and anemia, it will be of great help in curing his bloodlust."
Mu Jinnian and Qingxi nodded. As long as the cause of the illness is found, they can quickly treat the symptoms and their little dumpling will recover faster.
The little dumpling slowly raised its hand and said to everyone in a voice that was neither too loud nor too soft:
"I think I know why the little boy is sick!"
