Chapter 1044 Revenge of the Poison Master
"What Han doctor, what poison master, their disciples are so trash, they must not be very strong either," said Shi Shengli's wife, Guo Yan, with a dismissive curl of her lip.
"Slap!"
Old Master Shi slapped Shi Shengli's wife away, roaring, "Shut your mouth!"
Guo Yan instantly covered her face, feeling wronged by the blow. She was about to retort, but seeing Old Master Shi's fierce gaze, she was so scared that she didn't dare to say a word.
She didn't dare to speak to Old Master Shi, but she dared to speak to Shi Shengli. "Shi Shengli, look at how your father hit me. You must get me justice today, or we'll get divorced!"
This was the catchphrase of the overbearing Guo Yan. She threatened divorce at the slightest provocation, and it always worked.
However, this time, Shi Shengli remained unmoved.
He knew that Old Master Shi's slap was justified. While the Han doctor might be alright, the poison master Li Zhunji was not someone to be offended easily.
Seeing Shi Shengli remain silent, his wife Guo Yan cried and wailed, almost scratching Shi Shengli's face to pieces.
Just then, a servant came in with a bowl of ginseng soup and said to Old Master Shi, "Master, your ginseng soup is ready."
His voice was respectful, yet it carried a hint of coldness.
Old Master Shi nodded. "Put it down."
The servant walked over and placed the ginseng soup in front of Old Master Shi.
Old Master Shi glanced at Shi Shengli and his wife, a flicker of disgust flashing in his eyes. "If you have nothing else, leave quickly. This matter ends here. It's no longer something our Shi family can interfere with!"
If it were before, Old Master Shi would have felt he had done the right thing. But to curry favor with the Su family in the capital, he had already plunged the Shi family into an abyss of eternal damnation, something he could not tolerate.
After all, the death of Park Jin Guk was also related to their Shi family.
"Old Master, if you don't provide a solution, we will absolutely not leave!"
Shi Shengli's wife, Guo Yan, was naturally unwilling to leave.
Old Master Shi's attitude was firm. "Then stay here."
Shi Shengli's wife, Guo Yan, was puzzled. She hadn't expected Old Master Shi to be so resolute.
It was simply unbelievable.
Old Master Shi felt a bit dry, so he picked up the ginseng soup, intending to moisten his throat.
Just as he lifted the ginseng soup, a surprised voice suddenly rang out from outside. "Oh, who are you?"
Everyone was startled. Looking towards the sound, they saw a servant also carrying a bowl of ginseng soup walking in.
Everyone was bewildered. Why was there another servant bringing ginseng soup?
At this moment, Old Master Shi's gaze suddenly fell upon the servant before him, and his expression drastically changed. "Who exactly are you?"
This servant was unfamiliar to him; he didn't recognize him at all.
Shi Shengli and the others also noticed something amiss and immediately shouted, "Bodyguards! Bodyguards!"
In an instant, many security personnel rushed in from outside, surrounding the stranger.
"The one who will kill you!"
The man, however, was unperturbed, staring at Old Master Shi with a cold sneer.
After speaking, he suddenly reached out, grabbed Old Master Shi's face with one hand, snatched the bowl of ginseng soup with the other, and forcefully poured it into Old Master Shi's mouth.
Seeing that Old Master Shi had drunk the ginseng soup, the man then released his grip.
Although Old Master Shi didn't know what was in the ginseng soup, his intuition told him that it was definitely deadly. He immediately prostrated himself on the ground, trying to induce vomiting, but to no avail.
He looked at the man, his eyes filled with terror. "What did you give me?"
"Nine Nether Yellow Springs!"
These four soul-stirring words made Old Master Shi's face turn fouler than if he had eaten a fly.
He immediately reacted, "You are the poison master Li Zhunji!"
The man, however, sneered, "You're thinking too much. My teacher is still in H Country, but he's on his way to Jiangnan Province. Besides, to deal with an old man like you, my teacher doesn't need to personally appear!"
Without a second thought, Old Master Shi immediately begged for mercy. "Quickly give me the antidote, quickly give me the antidote! I truly never expected Park Jin Guk to die. If I had known this would happen, I would never have let Park Jin Guk go to Jiangnan Province to deal with Chen Xuan!"
"Park Jin Guk died because of Chen Xuan. It has nothing to do with our Shi family!"
"Give you the antidote? Park Jin Guk was my teacher's favorite disciple. You already committed a grave sin by using a borrowed knife to kill him. Today, all of you in the Shi family will die!"
The chilling voice resounded.
"I was truly wrong. I am willing to give you ten billion as compensation, no, twenty billion!"
"Money can buy everything, but it cannot buy life. Keep your money for when you get to the underworld."
The cold words plunged Old Master Shi into complete despair. He still wanted to offer a huge bribe, but with a "puff," he spat out a mouthful of blood.
The poison had erupted!
Seeing this, everyone's faces changed in fear.
Old Master Shi's complexion instantly turned ashen, and he swayed precariously. However, not a single person was willing to support him. This was the cold reality of the Shi family, a prominent clan.
He staggered back two steps, trying to steady himself. Finally, he steadied himself by gripping a chair. Blood began to flow from his nose, eyes, and ears... He quickly reached up to wipe it away and then looked at it!
Seeing that his hands were covered in blood, his pupils contracted.
The next moment, he fell to the ground headfirst.
He had never imagined that after scheming for half his life and developing the Shi family into a prominent clan, he would meet such an end.
As if unwilling, he didn't even close his eyes in death.
Seeing Old Master Shi die on the spot, many people screamed in terror. The so-called bodyguards turned pale and stumbled backward.
"Now it's your turn!"
The man's sinister gaze swept over everyone present.
Clearly, he had no intention of letting them go.
Shi Shengli's wife, Guo Yan, finally understood why Old Master Shi had been so terrified. It turned out this guy was so formidable!
But now, it was too late to say anything!
Shi Shengli, being a man, had a more stable mind. He yelled at the bodyguards, "Quick, someone, hurry up! Arrest him!"
However, those bodyguards remained motionless, showing no intention of making a move.
"Hurry up and act! If you don't, you won't get paid this month!"
Shi Shengli was furious and shouted.
"Screw you! You deduct my wages every month, and you still want to deduct my wages at this critical moment? I quit!"
After saying that, a security guard forcefully threw his hat and rubber baton to the ground.
Seeing this, the others followed suit, preparing to take off their uniforms and leave.
Normally, despite the Shi family being a prominent clan, they treated their servants and bodyguards harshly. Any minor mistake would result in deductions and punishment. Now, at the brink of death, who would be willing to risk their lives for them?
Shi Shengli's face turned green!
With no one making a move, how could they confront this person?
All eyes fell on the man and the deceased Old Master Shi, their gazes filled with terror.
"Don't worry, I will let you die without any pain!"
Following that, the man charged towards the Shi family members!
