Chapter 288: Truth

In the evening, Wu Shiya sat on the sofa and asked Lin Yang.

"I previously saw Sheng Huailong talking with you; what did he say?"

"Nothing much, just telling me not to meddle, or else he'd kill me."

Wu Shiya, who was eating, choked and kept coughing.

She widened her eyes, looked at Lin Yang, and said.

"Isn't that nothing?"

"He actually wants to kill you!"

Lin Yang smiled and said, "There are many people who said they'd kill me."

"I'm still standing here just fine, aren't I?"

Wu Shiya, hearing that, asked with a curious expression.

"Have you offended many people, all wanting to kill you?"

"That's right, you're so arrogant; it's normal for everyone to want to kill you."

Lin Yang, hearing that, stroked his chin and asked.

"Am I really that arrogant?"

"Of course you're arrogant, besides provoking Chen Run, you even beat someone after getting off the plane."

"Then, at Jia Qianqian's house, you publicly made Luo Cheng lose face."

"Aren't these arrogant enough?"

Lin Yang, hearing that, nodded solemnly.

"Hmm, what you say makes sense."

"But that's not me being arrogant; it's them being too stupid."

Wu Shiya, hearing that, gave Lin Yang a sideways glance.

At that moment, Jia Qianqian walked over.

"Mr. Lin, my father has regained consciousness and wants to thank you in person."

Lin Yang, hearing that, nodded and followed Jia Qianqian to the bedroom.

Upon entering, he saw Jia Xiangyang sitting on the bed.

At this time, Jia Xiangyang's complexion had improved considerably.

He showed Lin Yang a smile and then said.

"Qianqian, you all go out; I want to have a talk with Mr. Lin."

"Okay."

After they all left, Jia Xiangyang looked at Lin Yang and spoke softly.

"You're Mr. Li, right? Truly a hero among young masters."

Lin Yang didn't speak, but looked at Jia Xiangyang.

Jia Xiangyang took a deep breath and said to Lin Yang.

"Mr. Lin, Qianqian told me my illness is caused by a feng shui arrangement?"

"Not only the feng shui arrangement, but someone also poisoned you."

Jia Xiangyang fell silent for a moment, then asked.

"Can you find the culprit? The price is up to you."

Lin Yang chuckled, looked at Jia Xiangyang, and said.

"I know the culprit; are you sure you want to hear it?"

Jia Xiangyang raised his eyebrows, looked at Lin Yang, and said.

"Go ahead; I think I can still bear it."

"It's Sheng Huailong and his son."

"What!"

Although he was mentally prepared, when Lin Yang said it, Jia Xiangyang still fell silent.

"Don't you believe me?"

Upon hearing Lin Yang's question, Jia Xiangyang said.

"I don't believe it; I treated Huailong like family and his father like a brother."

"How could they deal with me!"

Saying this, his face looked unpleasant as he looked at Lin Yang and said.

"You wouldn't be saying this on purpose just to drive a wedge between us, would you!"

Lin Yang sneered.

"Jia family head, I thought your family, being so wealthy, would be smart enough to see through it at once."

"I didn't expect you to be no different from an ordinary person."

Jia Xiangyang said in a deep voice.

"What do you mean by that?"

"Just the literal meaning."

"As they say, people die for wealth, birds die for food."

"Even blood brothers will fight over money, let alone you two, who aren't even blood brothers."

Jia Xiangyang fell silent for a moment, then looked at Lin Yang and said.

"How do you intend to prove what you're saying?"

Lin Yang looked at him and said bluntly.

What basis do I have to prove anything to you?

I saved you, you're the one asking for the truth, and now you want me to prove something to you?

Do you really think I care about your little money?

Having said that, he got up and was about to leave.

Seeing Lin Yang about to leave, Jia Xiangyang hurriedly apologized.

"Mr. Lin, sorry, it was my mistake."

"I was rash; I shouldn't have spoken to you like that just now!"

Lin Yang stopped his steps and looked toward Jia Xiangyang.

"I'm willing to give you one hundred million, counting as my consultation fee, plus the cost of apologizing to you."

Lin Yang heard this, smiled and asked.

"You still want me to do something else, right?"

Jia Xiangyang didn't beat around the bush, but spoke directly.

"I think you can find some evidence for me."

"If there is evidence, I'm willing to give you another two hundred million."

Lin Yang heard this, showed a smile and said.

"I'll stay here tonight, and the evidence will come on its own."

Come on its own?

Jia Xiangyang looked at Lin Yang, puzzled.

"When it reaches eleven at night, you'll know."

"But then, don't make a sound; at that time you'll know everything you want to know."

Although he didn't understand why Lin Yang said that, Jia Xiangyang gritted his teeth and agreed.

Anyway, staying here won't cause any loss.

At eleven at night, the moon was bright and the stars sparse.

At this time, Lin Yang was sitting in Jia Xiangyang's bedroom.

Suddenly, a night breeze blew past, and Jia Xiangyang's window opened.

Lin Yang gave a hehe laugh and said.

"This is the twelfth floor; if you come in through the window, aren't you afraid of falling to your death?"

Sheng Huailong, dressed in black sportswear, walked from the window toward Lin Yang.

He glanced at Jia Xiangyang lying on the bed, then laughed and said to Lin Yang.

"A mere twelfth floor is nothing to a martial artist like me."

Martial artist?

Lin Yang, with an expression of sudden realization, said: "No wonder you dare to be so arrogant; it turns out you're a martial artist."

Seeing Lin Yang's look of realization, Sheng Huailong said.

"Do you know what a martial artist is?"

"You're so calm; you wouldn't think I'm the same as Luo Cheng and those people putting on a show, would you?"

"Let me tell you, I'm far more formidable than mere karate or taekwondo practitioners."

"Killing you is as easy as killing a dog!"

Lin Yang heard this, looking bewildered, and said.

"I'm just treating his illness; why do you want to kill me?"

Sheng Huailong heard this, gave a cold snort, and said.

"You're still afraid after all; it's a pity it's too late."

"I will surely kill you!"

"As for why I'm killing you, it's just to let you die with understanding."

"Because the master who set up that feng shui arrangement was someone I hired at great expense."

"The poison was also administered by me; now you should know why I want to kill you."

Lin Yang heard this, laughed, and said.

"According to Jia Qianqian, your two families aren't on bad terms, so why are you doing this?"

"Why?"

Sheng Huailong gave a cold laugh and said to Lin Yang.

"Isn't it just for the money?"

"He, Jia Xiangyang, sits in the position of group chairman, but he truly lacks the virtue to match the post."

"So my father wants to replace him."

"First came the feng shui arrangement, causing the group's profits to decline; then poison was administered, laying Jia Xiangyang low..."

Watching Sheng Huailong speak as if declaring victory, Lin Yang, dissatisfied, interrupted.

"Stop, stop; I don't like your remarks."

"Besides, I don't like hearing what you just said."

"The words 'lacking virtue for the position' made him feel very displeased."

Sheng Huailong heard this, gave a cold laugh, and said.

"What can you do if you don't like it? You're still going to die peacefully and go to hell!"
