Chapter 1167: The Direct Descendant of the Cao Family

"They all deserve to die... I am a Direct Descendant of the Cao Family, my father has money, and since they provoked me, they deserve to die." Young Master Cao screamed: "You cannot kill me; if you kill me, you won't survive either."

"My family is broken and my relatives are dead; I am the only one left in this world. Do you think I still care about death?"

"Xiao Zhengguo, tell me what you want, I can satisfy you. You—hasn't your company gone bankrupt? I can make your company come back to life."

Young Master Cao shouted desperately, trying to use money to buy back Xiao Zhengguo's life: "Or I can give you money, as much as you want. Take the money, find another wife, have more children; it's the same thing."

"Heh, I don't need those things now. Cao Wang, you have committed every evil deed; this time, no matter how much money you spend, you won't be able to buy back your life."

Xiao Zhengguo walked forward, picked up a kettle of boiling water, and poured it down over Young Master Cao's head.

"Ah..." Young Master Cao screamed and struggled desperately. The scalding boiling water tore the skin off his head. He struggled frantically to break free from the Dagger pinning his hand, then began to claw at his own face crazily.

But the scalding water had already caused his skin to fester; as he wiped his hand across it, a layer of skin peeled right off.

Cao Wang no longer knew what to do; he lay there, just screaming incessantly.

There was not a shred of pity on Xiao Zhengguo's face. He grabbed Cao Wang by the hair, walked to the window, opened it, and shoved him out with a violent push.

A scream came from downstairs, followed immediately by a thud. The once arrogant Young Master Cao lay below the 8th floor, blood slowly spilling out from beneath his body.

Chen Yu was startled: "If you push him down, it will implicate yourself. You should have let him die indoors so we could destroy the evidence."

"Mr. Chen, Ms. Ning, I know I won't be able to escape the sanctions of the law this way, but as long as Cao Wang is dead, I am already satisfied."

Xiao Zhengguo laughed miserably: "Now my family is broken and my relatives are dead; I am the only one left in the whole family, so I don't want to live either. I will go turn myself in now. Don't worry, I will take responsibility for everything."

"Xiao Zheng, there is no need for this. It's not too late if you leave right now." Ning Ruoxue sighed.

"That's right, go abroad. I can give you a new identity so you can continue to live," Chen Yu said.

Xiao Zhengguo was also a pitiful man. Although he was not a great saint in his life, he had done his fair share of good deeds.

He should not have had such an ending. If a person like this died, then the Heavenly Dao was unjust.

"No need, Mr. Chen. I am already very grateful that you allowed me to take my revenge," Xiao Zhengguo smiled: "It's just a pity I couldn't let the entire Cao Family be wiped out."

"You will see that day," Chen Yu said calmly.

"Brother, don't worry, I will provide you with a defense of innocence. Given your situation, I will try my best to reduce your sentence to under ten years," Ning Ruoxue thought for a moment.

"Thank you, Ms. Ning, but there is no need," Xiao Zhengguo shook his head: "Go and help those who need it more. The police are almost here now, you should leave quickly."

Ning Ruoxue sighed. She wanted to help Xiao Zhengguo, but she didn't know how to bring it up because Xiao Zhengguo had come here with the determination to die.

"Let's go," Chen Yu pulled Ning Ruoxue. There was no point in trying to persuade someone who was determined to die.

All Chen Yu could do now was help him deal with the Cao Family and ensure that everyone who had participated in harming him would be buried along with him.

The two went downstairs. The Cao Family's bodyguards had surged up like a tide, each one looking tense, as if facing a formidable enemy.

"This brother's heart is dead; he doesn't want to live alone," Ning Ruoxue looked back.

"His family members have all passed away one after another; with his family broken and relatives dead, living alone is no different from being a Walking Corpse," Chen Yu sighed: "Since he is determined to die, let him be. As for those people in the Cao Family, I will take care of them for him."

"En," Ning Ruoxue nodded and left the place with Chen Yu.

That evening, a shocking piece of news resounded throughout Shu City.

Cao Wang, the son of the once arrogant richest man Cao Zhengde, was killed by an enemy last night.

This incident swept through all of Shu City in an instant, becoming the main topic of conversation for most people over tea and dinner.

Of course, no one sympathized with the death of this wicked young master; instead, everyone cursed him with two words: "Deserved it."

As for the killer, Xiao Zhengguo, some people even launched a petition among the people to spare his life. Cao Wang's actions in Shu City had already alarmed the higher-ups, who sent an Investigation Team overnight to launch an investigation into the Cao Family.

Since an investigation had been launched, the downfall of the Cao Family was certain, and since Cao Zhengde's history of building his fortune was not very honorable, he would also be going in sooner or later.

But Chen Yu did not intend to give him that chance, because Chen Yu felt it was too slow. He wanted to resolve this matter before he officially went to handle his own affairs.

Night, Cao Corporation Villa.

A middle-aged man was plunged into deep grief.

He was Cao Wang's father, Cao Zhengde. The pain of losing his son, coupled with the surprise inspections of the Cao Family over the past few days, had left him exhausted.

"President Cao, our group's accounts have been frozen, and we can't withdraw a single cent. The Investigation Team has been keeping a close eye on our Cao Corporation; this can't go on," a person who looked like a butler hurried over.

"What do those mad dogs want? Contact the leaders of Shu City immediately and tell them to find a way. We are all in the same boat; if I'm not doing well, no one is doing well," Cao Zhengde shrieked.

His eyes were bloodshot and he was panting heavily, because even now, he still hadn't figured out why this had suddenly happened to him.

The Cao Corporation was the richest in Shu City, with very strong connections in both the underworld and the government. They had been sailing smoothly and were the local bullies.

But why had things suddenly turned out like this? Their Cao Family had become a target for everyone to attack, which he could not accept.

"Director Wang, the Deputy Secretary, and several other powerful figures who have good relations with us have all been taken away by the Investigation Team for questioning," the butler said tremblingly: "President Cao, it's not too late for us to leave now."

"Leave? Where the hell am I supposed to go? Shu City is my base; where can I go? Now the land, sea, and air are all under full surveillance for me. No matter where I appear, I will definitely be taken away immediately," Cao Zhengde roared.

"President Cao, we can sneak out of the city. We must abandon everything we have now. As long as the Mountain remains, one need not worry about firewood. Once this storm passes, we can make a comeback," the butler advised.

"I am not reconciled! I spent most of my life working hard to create this vast foundation for the Cao Corporation. Now you want me to leave? I am not reconciled!" Cao Zhengde stood up and paced back and forth in the room anxiously.
