Yu Lingxiao was furious.
Yu Shenxing met all his requirements as a successor in various aspects. Furthermore, as Yu Botao, his eldest son, only had one son, Yu Lingxiao placed far more importance on Yu Shenxing than any of his other grandchildren.
As for Yu Mengzhi?
She held far less weight in his heart compared to Yu Shenxing.
Chen Jinzhao pulled Yu Mengzhi behind him, then faced the furious Yu Lingxiao alone. "Are you angry at your own descendant? Don't you want to know what Yu Shenxing did to me? And what his cousins did?"
"Yu Shenxing, why don't you tell him?"
Meeting Chen Jinzhao's gaze, Yu Shenxing dared not utter a sound.
Yu Lingxiao glanced down at the two female corpses and said expressionlessly, "I know what happened. Yu Shenxing's cousins were involved in transactions with prostitutes. You suddenly appeared, killed Yu Shenxing's cousin Wang Xinrong, and two prostitutes."
"It's not like that!" Sister Hong suddenly spoke.
"The Wang Xinrong brothers tricked several of us here to the villa, and against our will, forced us to have relations with them. During this time, they not only abused us sisters but also gave us illegal drugs, causing two of my sisters to die here!"
*Slap!*
Shen Liangping slapped her, cutting off Sister Hong's words.
"What you're saying is not the truth. Say it again," Shen Liangping said in a cold tone.
Don't forget.
Shen Liangping only lost his assertiveness in front of Chen Jinzhao. In front of people from the lower strata of society like Sister Hong, he could still act as he pleased.
Blood trickled from Sister Hong's lips, shocking Yu Mengzhi.
Sister Hong wiped the blood from her mouth and said again, "Xiao Chen came to save us. He only knocked out the Wang Xinrong brothers. Wang Xindong was killed by me. You can have the police investigate."
*Slap!*
"Still not right!" Shen Liangping said angrily.
Yu Mengzhi clenched her fists, caught in a strange predicament.
She was bewildered. Why had the Yu family become like this? Bullying others with their power, disregarding the law, and even trying to cover up evil deeds!
Sister Hong covered her face and continued.
"The reason Yu Shenxing's hands were crippled was because he used a gun!"
*Slap! Slap! Slap!*
Shen Liangping slapped her three times in succession. Yu Lingxiao also coldly reprimanded, "Make this crazy woman shut up. She's taken too many hallucinogens and is talking nonsense."
"I'm not talking nonsense!"
"At the time, Yu Shenxing was holding a gun to Xiao Chen's forehead. If Xiao Chen hadn't acted, he would have died long ago!"
"I can only say, well done!!!"
Shen Liangping was about to make another move, but Chen Jinzhao was already furious.
As he was about to open his mouth to reprimand, Yu Mengzhi could no longer bear it. She suddenly roared at Shen Liangping, "Shen Liangping, let her finish speaking! If Yu Shenxing had nothing to hide, why would you do this? Even if what she said was false, it's not for you, Shen Liangping, to lay a hand on them. The law will punish them!"
Yu Mengzhi detested such matters!
She had originally respected Shen Liangping, because her grandfather had once said that Shen Liangping had helped the family resolve many troublesome issues.
Before today, Yu Mengzhi had naively thought that the "troubles" Yu Lingxiao spoke of referred to some disputes. Now, it seemed that the "troubles" they mentioned likely referred to certain people.
Resolving "troubles" meant killing.
Yu Lingxiao and Shen Liangping were stunned, both looking at Yu Mengzhi in surprise. They never expected Yu Mengzhi to say such outrageous words!
It could even be called rebellious!
Chen Jinzhao finally spoke at this moment, "Shen Liangping, if you dare to lay a single finger on Sister Hong and the others today, I guarantee that all of you will die here."
"You can try it!"
Shen Liangping's hesitation in acting greatly surprised both Yu Botao and Yu Shenxing.
Yu Shenxing quickly tried to gain sympathy from his grandfather, fearing that Yu Lingxiao would let Chen Jinzhao off. "Grandpa, you must help me get justice! Having my hands crippled is worse than killing me. What face will I have to appear in public from now on?"
"Let me just die!"
"Enough!" Yu Lingxiao almost had a heart attack.
Seeing Yu Lingxiao's outburst, everyone immediately fell silent, not daring to make a sound.
Yu Lingxiao glared at Yu Shenxing fiercely, his eyes filled with deep disappointment. "Just tell me, did you let your cousins do those underhanded deeds? Yes or no?"
"And tell me, did you point a gun at Chen Jinzhao?"
"You only need to answer, yes or no?"
Facing Yu Lingxiao's cold gaze, Yu Shenxing's heart pounded. He couldn't fathom his grandfather's intentions and didn't know how to answer.
Seeing the situation was not good, Yu Botao stepped forward, trying to appease Yu Lingxiao and ease the tension. "Dad, please don't speak to Shenxing in such a harsh tone. He's still a child..."
*Slap!*
This slap was given to Yu Botao.
"A child?"
"He's over thirty. How can he still claim to be a child?" Yu Lingxiao was extremely angry.
"Everyone faces the consequences of their actions. Just let Yu Shenxing come forward and say whether this is true or not!"
Yu Botao held his face, lost in thought.
Yu Shenxing, with a dejected face, stammered for a long time before finally saying with a choked voice, "Grandpa, I... I know I was wrong. But I'm still young, and I don't want my life ruined today."
"So, you did these things?" Yu Lingxiao's tone calmed down, but a hint of coldness crept in.
From now on,
His resolve to see Yu Botao as his successor had wavered. Yu Shenxing was not qualified.
Yu Lingxiao wasn't blaming Yu Shenxing for doing bad deeds, but for being so foolish as to leave evidence. If such an idiot were to take over the Yu family, he would eventually drag the family down!
It was time to re-evaluate the choice of successor.
Yu Shenxing stammered. Finally, under Yu Botao's subtle hint, he knelt with a thud, crying and begging Yu Lingxiao to save him. He also admitted that what Sister Hong had said was the truth.
Yu Mengzhi's anger surged.
This meant that if Chen Jinzhao hadn't been capable, his fate might have been the same as these two deceased women.
What was even more unbelievable to her was that Yu Shenxing would cover up for his cousin's heinous acts, treating human lives as worthless. After the incident, not only did he show no remorse, but he even harbored the thought of silencing witnesses.
Was this still human?
Yu Lingxiao took a deep breath and said to Yu Shenxing, "You can kneel for now. We'll settle accounts later."
"Liangping, call the police."
"Let the police handle this matter. Dispose of it as they see fit, and absolutely no favoritism."
Yu Shenxing began to wail and shout, his face showing no sign of composure.
Yu Botao also tried his best to dissuade Yu Lingxiao, but the old man's mind was made up, and no one could change his will.
Chen Jinzhao wanted to see how Yu Lingxiao would handle this. He was certain it wouldn't be as righteous as it appeared. The gun Yu Shenxing had dropped on the ground had already been secretly taken away by someone, presumably to destroy evidence.
If nothing unexpected happened,
Yu Lingxiao's ultimate target in doing this would undoubtedly be Chen Jinzhao.
