Chapter 4: Exhumation
Ye Chutang frowned.
"What did you say?"
Cao Chengwu is dead? But Ah Yan clearly said yesterday that those people only suffered minor injuries and would recover in a few days. How could it be that -
Madam Cao cried and screamed, "My poor son! Your death was so unjust! If Ye Yunfeng hadn't beaten him to death yesterday, how could he have died? A life for a life! Hand Ye Yunfeng over now! Pay for my son's life!"
The onlookers were also shocked.
"The second young master of the Cao family is gone?"
"Isn't this too sudden? He seemed fine yesterday morning! How could something like this happen in the blink of an eye?"
"Didn't you hear what she said? It was Ye Jia Silang who beat the man to death! The boy was young and brute force. He didn't know how to control his strength. It's not impossible that he accidentally beat someone to death! I just feel sorry for Boss Cao and Madam Cao! They raised their precious son to such an age, but something like this happened to him!"
"Yes! It's obvious that Ye Jia Silang is someone who is not to be trifled with. He's only twelve years old and he's already killed someone! What will happen to him when he grows up? People like him must be brought before the authorities!"
Everyone was talking about it.
Ye Chutang's expression darkened slightly, his mind racing.
Although Afeng is impulsive and strong-willed, he always knows his limits. Especially with Ayan around, it is even more impossible for him to be allowed to use force.
There must be something wrong with Cao Chengwu's death.
Thinking of this, she took a step forward and said, "Madam Cao, we are deeply sorry for the death of your son, but we dare not take the charge of murder without evidence."
Mrs. Cao was very emotional: "What evidence do you need? Ye Yunfeng and my son had a fight yesterday, and many people in the academy saw it! They are all witnesses! After Ah Wu went back, he suddenly passed away in the middle of the night without any warning! If it's not Ye Yunfeng's fault, who else can I blame!"
"Midnight?" Ye Chutang keenly grasped a few words in her words, "You mean, when he just went back yesterday, there was actually nothing wrong?"
Madam Cao choked and retorted loudly, "Who said he was fine! He had several wounds on his body at the time! We even hired a doctor to bandage them! Ye Yunfeng was so cruel at such a young age, and he was so cruel to his classmate! Who else could have done it if not him!"
Cao Chengwen, who was standing next to Mrs. Cao, comforted her while looking at Ye Chutang with an embarrassed expression.
"Miss Ye Er, you better hand over your brother right away! This matter has nothing to do with you, we won't make things difficult for you!"
Ye Chutang refused to give in and said in a serious tone: "You want to arrest my brother without any evidence. There is no such thing in the world."
Cao Chengwen seemed a little annoyed: "Why are you protecting a murderer like this!?"
Ye Chutang stared at him with his dark eyes: "Master Cao, be careful with your words. The government hasn't convicted my brother yet, and you're saying this. Could it be that you are more powerful than the government?"
"You!" Cao Chengwen looked panicked for a moment, "I didn't say that! Don't talk nonsense!"
Madam Cao looked past Ye Chutang and towards the door, gritting her teeth and saying, "Why doesn't he come out? He killed someone, so he must be feeling guilty!"
With a "bang", the door was pushed open suddenly. Ye Yunfeng couldn't hold back and strode out.
"I didn't kill anyone!"
Ye Chutang looked back at him. The young man clenched his fists and held his breath in his chest: "Sister! I just punched him a few times, I didn't kill him!"
When Mrs. Cao saw him, she became even more agitated and yelled, "Who else could it be if not you? Give me back my son's life!"
As she said this, she was about to rush over.
Ye Chutang took slight steps and protected Ye Yunfeng behind him. His voice was not loud but powerful.
"Madam Cao, if my brother really killed your son, I will send him to jail without anyone else's help! But if it wasn't him, I will never be polite to anyone who wants to throw dirty water on him!"
Madam Cao's eyes widened: "Ye Chutang! What do you mean by that? Did I deliberately wrongly accuse you? "
Ye Chutang said: "Since you insist that it was my brother who killed your son, then I have to see it with my own eyes, don't you agree?"
Madam Cao was stunned: "What do you mean?!"
Ye Chutang stepped forward and came to the black coffin.
"A Feng, open the coffin!" She said word by word, "Take a good look and see if it's the person you killed!"
No one expected Ye Chutang to do this, and they were all stunned for a moment. Although Ye Yunfeng didn't understand why she did this, he always listened to his sister's words, so without any hesitation, he strode to the coffin, supported himself with both hands, and exerted force suddenly!
The heavy coffin was actually opened by a boy who was only twelve years old!
"ah!"
Everyone stepped back in panic, but couldn't help but look out of curiosity.
At this time, Mrs. Cao finally came to her senses, screamed and was about to rush over.
"Ye Chutang! You——"
Ye Yunfeng immediately stood in front of her with an aura so powerful that Mrs. Cao was stunned for a moment and did not dare to move forward.
Ye Chutang did not avoid or give way, and turned his head to look at Madam Cao: "Did Afeng also give your son these hemorrhagic purpura?"
Mrs. Cao was speechless: "W-what?"
Ye Chutang raised his chin and said, "There are large purple spots on his face and body. These are obviously not caused by beatings. You are too hasty to conclude that he died at the hands of Afeng."
Mrs. Cao was stunned by the question, and rushed over to lift up Cao Chengwu's sleeves, and sure enough, she saw large patches of purple spots spreading.
This is definitely not a sign that would appear after a fight.
“This, this…”
This morning, when she heard the servants say that her son had died, she fainted. When she woke up again, she had only one thought in her mind - it must be because of Ye Yunfeng who had fought with her yesterday!
When she first saw the purple spots on her son's face, she thought they were caused by a fight and did not take them seriously. It was only when Ye Chutang pointed them out that she discovered that her son also had such marks on his hands and body.
Anyone can see that this is definitely not normal!
Some of the bolder people around also looked over here and talked in low voices.
"This, this, something is wrong! I remember seeing Cao Chengwu returning home on the road yesterday with a wound on his face, but he didn't look like this now..."
"If all these were done by Ye Jia Silang, wouldn't he have been beaten to death on the spot?"
"That's right! If Cao Chengwu's face and body were like this yesterday, how could the Cao family let it go and wait until today to cause trouble? I think something must have happened after he returned home, which is why he became like this!"
Ye Yunfeng quickly looked at Ye Chutang: "Sister, this wasn't me who hit you!"
He was also shocked when he saw Cao Chengwu's expression, and immediately realized that there must be something fishy!
"I know." Ye Chutang gave him a reassuring look, and then asked Madam Cao, "Madam Cao, has your son been allergic to anything before?"
