Everyone watching was from the Bai family and had some understanding of the Yin-Yang technique. With just a few words from Lu Xiangyang, most people understood what was going on.
Some of the people who attacked Chi Shen just now were still insisting: "There must be something hidden. We can't even see this monster's face. Who would believe him if he said he was Lu Xiangyang?"
Some people who had not spoken just now and were just watching the scene also asked, "Are you familiar with Lu Xiangyang? Can anyone recognize him in this state?"
Lu Xiangyang is not a well-known figure in the Bai family, and he is not popular among the younger generation. Bai Ran asked him to do this because he thought he was easy to fool, so it is normal that some people don't know him.
But Bai Ximing and Xu Xiuyun knew Lu Xiangyang. After all, he was someone close to Bai Ran, so they still recognized his face.
Bai Ximing and Xu Xiuyun both recognized that this was Lu Xiangyang, the Lu Xiangyang who died in his own home after He Chao died in the old house.
"I don't know you, don't slander me!" Bai Ran shouted, "Chi Shen! Chi Shen, can't you control ghosts? This must be a ghost that Chi Shen found somewhere to impersonate Lu Xiangyang. He is not Lu Xiangyang. I know Lu Xiangyang's death best. It wasn't him!"
The ghost with tumors all over his upper body looked at Bai Ran, tears of blood almost flowing from his eyes.
Bai Ran looked at him and turned around and ran. He couldn't be caught by this monster, he must not!
In just a blink of an eye, the monster transformed by Lu Xiangyang came under the wall, raised his hand, and crawled towards the second floor.
"How can my Bai family allow a fierce ghost like you to act so recklessly!"
Seeing this, Bai Ximing reacted immediately. He held the talisman in his hand and waved it in the direction of Lu Xiangyang. Immediately, a bloody hole appeared on Lu Xiangyang's body.
Bai Ximing shouted, "Why are you still standing there? Regardless of whether he is the real Lu Xiangyang or not, do you want to watch a fierce ghost do evil in the Bai family?"
Seeing the current situation, some of the others also took out things and tried to stop Lu Xiangyang from climbing up. After all, they were dealing with living people. If they let ghosts kill people here in the Bai family, how would they survive in the future if they told others about it.
At this time, Bai Ximing retreated to the periphery, as if he was not the one who had spoken righteously just now. He glanced at Chi Shen, who was standing in the shadows, with a fierce look in his eyes. He looked at Bai Ran's window again and cursed softly, "Waste!"
Xu Xiuyun, who was standing behind Bai Ximing, was worried. She whispered, "Of course..."
"We have to help him." Chi Shen said as he watched from the side.
Guilian hid behind Chi Shen in a timid manner, poked out half of his face and looked over there carefully, and asked, "How can I help?"
Chi Shen looked at the ghost face.
Gui Lian also looked at Chi Shen.
Chi Shen: "It's not convenient for me to take action. Although I don't know how to be a normal person, I know that a normal person will definitely not fight dozens of people alone."
Ghostface: "So?"
The next second, Chi Shen grabbed Gui Lian and threw him out.
"ah--"
Amid the screams of Ghost Face, he landed accurately behind Lu Xiangyang. Looking at the people who were coming aggressively with various magical weapons, Ghost Face immediately expanded himself several times, opened his big mouth that could fit several basketballs, and yin energy spurted out of his mouth, frost condensed wherever it passed, as if he had arrived in the cold winter in the north.
The crowd tried to avoid it, and those who failed to avoid it were blown by the thick yin energy and were immediately frozen. Their faces turned blue and they fell to the ground. However, they were not seriously injured. In a place like the Bai family, at most they would get a serious illness, and their lives would not be in danger.
"Am I so awesome?" Looking at his own battle record, Gui Lian fell into a brief thought, and then he felt that this should not be his fault, but he can now pretend that he is awesome!
At this time, Lu Xiangyang had already climbed to the window on the second floor. His hands were placed on the windowsill, and blood bubbles immediately appeared as if they were burned. However, he did not take his hands back, but gritted his teeth and continued to climb up.
Chi Shen also saw this scene, and thinking of Bai Ran's room full of talismans, he went in with a faceless mirror, so neither the broken-arm ghost nor the ghost face triggered the talismans in the room, but it was different for Lu Xiangyang now.
He thought about it and realized that a normal person wouldn't fight dozens of people at once, but climbing to the second floor should be no problem... right?
Chi Shen did what he said. He didn't even run. He just stepped on the wall and reached the second-floor window in two steps. Under everyone's astonished gaze, he supported himself with his hands on the window and jumped lightly into Bai Ran's room.
The door of Bai Ran's room was already open, and he seemed to be preparing to run away with his things, but he had a lame leg, so he naturally could not run faster than Chi Shen, so Chi Shen easily caught him back, and threw him out of the window as Bai Ran's face was filled with horror.
Then he clapped his hands, smiled and said to Lu Xiangyang: “You’re welcome.”
Lu Xiangyang was silent for a second, loosened his hand that was burned and bleeding, and fell to the ground.
Frightened by the evil energy emitted by the ghost face, no one dared to step forward at this time. Even those who were timid and fearful of life had already retreated and prepared to run away.
After Chi Shen threw Bai Ran down, he also jumped down from the second-floor window very handsomely and neatly. Afterwards, he did not mind Lu Xiangyang's body full of pus, and put one hand on Lu Xiangyang's shoulder, smiling and looking at everyone: "What are you panicking about? Don't you want to listen to the victim's self-narration? Are there any accomplices among you?"
This sentence completely stunned everyone. If they didn't listen, they would be charged with the crime of killing the Bai family's disciple with a different surname, and no one was willing to take this responsibility.
"Tell me slowly," Chi Shen patted Lu Xiangyang on the shoulder, "I know you are not good at speaking, but in this situation, you can explain as you like, and no one will interrupt you."
Lu Xiangyang looked at him with complicated eyes, and finally bowed to him and walked towards Bai Ran again.
Bai Ran was thrown by Chi Shen into the middle of the lights. The soft grass did not cause him to get hurt, but he still hugged his broken leg and cried out in pain: "Mom, mom, save me!"
Xu Xiuyun wanted to go forward but was held back by others, even Bai Ximing stopped her. Xu Xiuyun could only cry behind the crowd.
“I am indeed Lu Xiangyang.”
Lu Xiangyang, whose upper body was covered with tumors and abscesses, walked under the light. He raised his hand and peeled off the tumor that was blocking his face bit by bit.
The moment he put his hand into the tumor, thick and smelly blood gushed out and dripped onto the ground. The even stronger stench filled everyone's nose, and some people even began to retch.
There was great pain in his eyes, but he did not stop. He used his hands to tear apart the tumors that were protecting him bit by bit, and tore open his huge mouth. Clumps of flesh and blood fell from his face, and finally he found Lu Xiangyang's face.
There was a huge bite mark on that face, running across the entire face, and even the head was deflated. He dug the face out from among the countless tumors and showed it to everyone.
"I'm Lu Xiangyang."
He repeated it again. At this time, he was covered in blood and the great pain made him almost unable to stand. However, he stood upright on his own and turned his face towards Bai Ran.
In the crowd, those who could not withstand the pressure had already started to vomit, and more people turned their eyes away to avoid looking at this bloody and horrifying scene.
Now no one questions who he is anymore, everyone is listening to him.
"He Chao and I met a boy in shrouds at the Bai family's old house. He asked us to play hide-and-seek together. He Chao died." Lu Xiangyang's own face opened his mouth and told everything he had experienced. "I survived. I was very scared at the time. Now I think clearly that it was Chi Shen who saved me."
"Later, Bai Ran came to see me. I was very touched. He still cared about me as always. But I didn't know until I died that what he usually showed was all a lie. He was despicable and vicious. He was going to kill me because I said he was the one who asked He Chao and I to go to the old house." Lu Xiangyang looked at Bai Ran, and every word was tearful. "He used the bones of the evil spirit he found to lure the evil spirit to come and eat me bite by bite. But I don't know what happened. In the end, I merged with the evil spirit, so I became like this."
"I didn't expect that he would want to blame everything he did on Chi Shen, the man he replaced as the young master of the Bai family and whom he wanted to kill!"
At this point, Lu Xiangyang raised his head and looked at everyone with his bloody face: "The one who raised the ghost was Bai Ran! The one who killed me was also Bai Ran!"
After hearing this, some people who had been in the Bai family for many years came to their senses. They used to think that Bai Ran was gentle and down-to-earth, and a promising member of the Bai family. However, the panic and viciousness displayed by Bai Ran in the past few days made many people begin to waver in their judgment. Now after Lu Xiangyang said this, they all understood what was going on.
Who hasn't seen conspiracies, intrigues, and frame-ups in a place like the Bai family?
It’s just that what happened tonight is particularly big.
Bai Ran saw that it was hopeless to defend himself. He covered his injured leg and looked at Bai Ximing and Xu Xiuyun. Tears flowed from the corners of his eyes and he cried miserably: "Dad, Mom, I know I was wrong. I just don't want Chi Shen to take away your love. I just want to stay with you. Save me!"
Ever since Lu Xiangyang showed his face, Bai Ximing had been thinking about something, while Xu Xiuyun had been crying. Hearing Bai Ran's cry, Xu Xiuyun immediately looked at her husband: "He is our child who we have raised for twenty years, and... and he can't die now, you know."
This sentence seemed to make Bai Ximing make up his mind. He looked up and said, "Bai Ran raised a ghost and killed a disciple from another family. He should be punished according to the family law. Lock him up first. We can discuss how to deal with him specifically after we solve the problem of the old house!"
Bai Ran's eyes suddenly lit up. Bai Ximing's words meant that he was willing to protect him.
They are just two disciples from other families. Later, he can just say that he has admitted his mistake and give them a symbolic punishment. At least before Chi Shen really returns to the Bai family, he will still be treated as a young master!
"Wait a minute." Suddenly a strong voice came from the crowd.
Bai Ximing suddenly felt something was wrong. He turned around and saw Yuan Yiping in the crowd. He was stunned. How could this person, this person from the Special Security Bureau, be here? !
"Bai Ran allowed his ghost to kill people. We have to take him back for investigation." Yuan Yiping pushed through the crowd, walked to Bai Ximing, and extended a hand to him. "I don't think the head of the Bai family would go against the Special Security Bureau for someone who has no blood relationship with the Bai family, right?"
Bai Ximing looked at him coldly. Just as he was about to say something, Bai Hengqing's voice came from behind him: "Let him take it back. This scourge is better left to our Bai family!"
Seeing this, Xu Xiuyun cried and said, "Second Uncle, he is the child we have raised for more than 20 years..."
Bai Hengqing snorted coldly and pointed in the direction of Chi Shen: "Your biological child is there!"
There was chaos at the Bai family's side. Chi Shen was watching from the side. Gui Lian also shrank back into Chi Shen's pocket. Compared with the people from the Bai family, Gui Lian was more afraid of the people from the Special Security Bureau, so he dared not move at all.
Chi Shen felt his shadow shake, and Ji Xingchen also came back.
Xu Jiayuan led a few people to take Bai Ran to the police car, and then came to find Chi Shen: "The move you just made, the one where you climbed the wall, was so cool! Have you practiced it before?"
When Lu Xiangyang came out, the people from the Special Security Bureau arrived, but Yuan Yiping asked them to wait and see, and then arrest people after the dust settled. Unexpectedly, they skipped the interrogation process and directly convicted Bai Ran of killing two people.
A member of the Special Security Bureau was negotiating with Lu Xiangyang. He was shaking while speaking, but the fierce ghost in his eyes was very easy to talk to and followed him into the police car.
Chi Shen looked at Xu Jiayuan who was asking with great interest and smiled: "My family was poor when I was a child, so I learned to climb walls."
Xu Jiayuan asked in confusion: "What does this matter?"
Chi Shen did not answer him, and soon Xu Jiayuan discovered that the wandering soul that brought them here was missing, and began to look for it everywhere. Ji Xingchen had no choice but to run to tell him, and then disappeared again in Chi Shen's shadow.
By the time Bai Ran was taken away, most of the people from the Bai family who came to watch the fun had dispersed. Many of them were just there to watch the fun and had no intention of taking any action.
At this time, Bai Ximing looked at Chi Shen who had not left, thought for a moment, and said with a kind face: "Chi Shen, I heard that you want to come back..."
"Wait." Chi Shen suddenly interrupted Bai Ximing. Under Bai Ximing's unhappy gaze, he took out his cell phone and read: "The old lady's medical expenses plus taxi reimbursement and nutritional supplements add up to 73,887. Considering the subsequent loss of work and mental damages, I'll give you a round number. You give me 100,000. The rest I will give to the old lady's family so they can buy good things."
Bai Ximing was stunned by this move. What was going on?
"Oh, maybe you don't want to admit that this matter has anything to do with you, but it's okay, I recorded it." Chi Shen clicked on another audio software, which contained Bai Ran's voice sneering and explaining the whole story of the old lady being hit.
Not only Bai Ximing, but also the others who had not left were stunned. How could this happen?
Seeing that Bai Ximing didn't react, Chi Shen smiled and looked over: "The Bai family is such a big family, can't they even have this little bit of responsibility?"
Bai Ximing's expression turned cold. After he became the head of the family, this was the first time a junior spoke to him like this. Yuan Yiping and Bai Hengqing were watching them nearby. Yuan Yiping looked as if he was watching gossip, which made it impossible for him to get angry.
"Give him money." Bai Ximing ordered in a deep voice and turned to leave.
Bai Hengqing laughed. When Bai Ran was in trouble, he watched the whole process without saying a word. Now he laughed as well: "Interesting, Chi Shen, when are you going to change your last name to Bai?"
Chi Shen looked at Bai Hengqing with a strange look, and the corners of his mouth curved slightly, revealing a smile: "I'll go back and ask Bai Wan first."
As soon as the word "Bai Wan" came out, Bai Hengqing's expression changed visibly. He almost fled from his garden and hid in the house.
Looking at the empty garden and the burnt bushes, Chi Shen said happily, "We're home!"
