Chapter 146: Extermination of the Family
"Foster father..." Zhu Hongxue revealed a trace of grief on her face: "My cousin-in-law was a simple and honest man who never held grudges against anyone. I don't know who could have such deep hatred for him."
"I have already used my connections to investigate this matter. I must get to the bottom of this."
"Is that so?" The door opened, and Chen Yu walked in. He sneered: "Your cousin-in-law was simple and honest? Heh, why does that sound wrong to me?"
"Mr. Chen is here too?" A flash of ruthlessness crossed Zhu Hongxue's eyes.
"I invited Mr. Chen here," Li Xuanling said indifferently. "According to Mr. Chen, your cousin-in-law was killed by someone from the Jianghu."
"Someone from the Jianghu?" Zhu Hongxue suddenly raised her head, revealing a look of surprise: "How could he possibly have enemies in the Jianghu?"
"I don't know, perhaps it's because of you," Chen Yu stared at Zhu Hongxue and said: "As far as I know, you own eighty percent of the shares in Shimen Pharmaceutical, which Wang Kai managed."
"In other words, he was working for you. Moreover, his small pharmaceutical factory was just a workshop on the verge of bankruptcy ten years ago. In these few years, it has expanded rapidly to become one of the largest pharmaceutical factories in the Fengling Medical Industry Park. You must have played a part in this, right?"
"Chen Yu, don't make false accusations." Zhu Hongxue's expression shifted slightly.
"Is it a fact?" Li Xuanling stared at Zhu Hongxue, his expression gradually turning cold.
"Foster father..." Zhu Hongxue knelt on the ground in panic: "Foster father, Hongxue dares not lie. Wang Kai is my cousin-in-law. He came to me, so I gave him some help, and he gave me some rewards in gratitude, but it really isn't as Chen Yu says."
"Whether it is or not, only you know in your heart," Chen Yu said coldly: "In the years since Wang Kai rose to prominence, his competitors have either gone missing or died mysteriously. His rise was completely unobstructed."
"Chen Yu, what are you trying to say?" Zhu Hongxue was furious.
"Insolent! How dare you be disrespectful to Mr. Chen?" Li Xuanling shouted deeply.
"Foster father, Hongxue dares not, but every word Mr. Chen said is heart-piercing. Forgive Hongxue for being unfilial," Zhu Hongxue said: "If he has evidence to prove that the evil Wang Kai did all these years was supported by me behind the scenes, then Hongxue will commit suicide."
"Good, remember your own words clearly," Li Xuanling said coldly: "Wang Kai died in his home today, and his wife and children were all killed."
"Hongxue, I adopted you when you were eight years old. Although you are my foster daughter, I treat you as my own. I taught you martial arts and I also taught you martial virtue. It is best if these matters have nothing to do with you; otherwise, I will deal with you myself."
"Yes, Hongxue would never dare to forget what foster father has taught." Zhu Hongxue lowered her head and knelt, but she could not hide the venom in her eyes.
"Since that is the case, Senior Li, I will take my leave first. Although Wang Kai and I had grievances, his entire family was killed. The person who did this is a maniac. I will definitely get to the bottom of this matter."
"Good, walk slowly, Mr. Chen. Hongxue, go see Mr. Chen off." Li Xuanling picked up the tea from the side and took a sip.
"Yes, foster father." Zhu Hongxue nodded, stood up, bowed slightly to Chen Yu, and made a gesture of invitation.
Chen Yu walked out the door, and Zhu Hongxue followed him out.
"Zhu Hongxue, there is a Demon in the Jianghu. It is rumored that this Demon came from a family of Medicine, but he went astray. He is skilled in using poison, once using poisonous insects and herbs to create an incomparably strange poison, and then soaking his body in the poisonous water to turn himself into a Poison King," Chen Yu laughed.
"What do you want to say?" Zhu Hongxue's face sank.
"This Poison King later walked the Jianghu, bringing disaster to the region, injuring people with strange poisons, and his methods were cruel. Later, Senior Li joined forces with the Thirteen Taibao to capture this person alive, and he was later secretly executed," Chen Yu continued.
"Of course I know about this. My foster father also became famous because of this battle and became a highly respected senior of the Jianghu," Zhu Hongxue said.
"I have seen the state of Wang Kai's family's death. Their hearts and gallbladders were shattered, the blood in their bodies reversed, and blood burst out from their pores. This is a sign of being poisoned by a strange poison. If I am not mistaken, this is also the work of that Poison King. He is still alive," Chen Yu laughed.
"He is already dead, killed by my foster father's own hands." A cold light flashed in Zhu Hongxue's eyes.
"Haha, better if he's dead. I came to see your foster father today, and there is one more thing you probably don't know," Chen Yu leaned closer to Zhu Hongxue.
"What other matter?" Zhu Hongxue asked.
"Your foster father is actually suffering from a chronic poison. Last time when I treated him, he couldn't suppress the three needles in his body. The reason is that he was poisoned, and his Primordial Qi suffered hidden damage. I came this time to heal him."
"What else do you know?" Zhu Hongxue was full of killing intent.
"I also know that this poison is colorless and odorless, and must be ingested through the mouth," Chen Yu laughed: "So there is only one possibility: the poisoner is someone close to him. I came today to perform Acupuncture on him to completely drive out the toxicity."
"Let me tell you a secret: the tea you serve him every morning, he actually never drinks it," Chen Yu whispered in her ear: "Zhu Hongxue, man proposes, God disposes. Sooner or later, you will be doomed."
After saying this, Chen Yu laughed loudly and walked away.
Zhu Hongxue was shocked. She stared blankly at Chen Yu's back, a trace of killing intent surging in her eyes.
Chen Yu arrived home, and Ye Xinyu had already returned. There were many things on the sofa, all baby supplies.
There were little clothes, shoes, and diapers, and they were all very good brands. Seeing Chen Yu return, Ye Xinyu stood up and smiled: "Hubby, you're back? Look at these things."
"Preparing for the baby?" Chen Yu was slightly stunned.
"Yes, I just don't know if it's a boy or a girl, but for a baby, it's the same whatever they wear," Ye Xinyu smiled.
"It's a girl," Chen Yu smiled slightly.
"How can you be so sure?" Ye Xinyu looked up.
"Of course I know. When she's born, she'll be as pretty as you," Chen Yu laughed: "Who sent these things over?"
"It was Siying. She just left," Ye Xinyu said: "She is very attentive to the baby and said she must be the baby's godmother in the future."
"She came again?" Chen Yu was stunned.
"Yes, hubby, I know you don't like her, but now she has really changed a lot. People always change," Ye Xinyu pulled Chen Yu and smiled: "She is a very good person, try to accept her."
"Alright, alright, I'll try my best." Chen Yu was between laughter and tears. Is Ye Xinyu really that trusting? She probably doesn't know that her best friend has already set her sights on him.
"Chen Yu, you're back," Xu Siying walked out of the bathroom and smiled: "I prepared some gifts for the baby, I hope you don't mind."
"Why did you come to my house?" Chen Yu frowned, suppressing the urge to kick this woman out the door.
"Chen Yu, what are you saying? Siying kindly sent some things for the baby, what kind of attitude is that?" Ye Xinyu was unhappy.
"Alright, alright, thank you. If there's nothing else, you should go first," Chen Yu was between laughter and tears.
"By the way, Siying, you said the client you were meeting today was difficult, right?" Ye Xinyu asked.
"Yes, I have a deposit quota. The client I met today was lecherous. I didn't want to go, but with the quota hanging over me, I couldn't not go," Xu Siying complained with a worried face.
"You should find someone to accompany you," Ye Xinyu said.
"Sigh, where would I find someone to accompany me? If only I had a man as capable as your Chen Yu," Xu Siying said with hidden meaning.
Chen Yu was startled. Is this woman trying to rope him in as a laborer?
