Chapter 1045 Su Tianci
The next moment, a scream rang out.
Overnight, the entire Shi family perished. When the police arrived at the Shi residence the next day, they found not a single corpse. After an inspection, it was determined that the bodies of the Shi family members had all been dissolved by bone-dissolving powder, leaving no trace.
However, with modern science so advanced, the police, through forensic examination, discovered clues. As for the killer, not a single trace was found.
From then on, the Shi family was wiped out, becoming an unsolved mystery!
At the same time.
News of the Shi family's demise and Pu Jin Guo's death reached Tian Hai Dan. Tian Hai Dan immediately understood what had happened and cursed furiously, "Not even this small matter can be handled properly, no wonder they were all wiped out!"
She felt no pity for the Shi family's fate.
The only reason she had become in-laws with the Shi family was to use them. Now that Su Ning was finished, the Shi family held no value for her.
"Madam Tian Hai, Pu Jin Guo's death might enrage the poison master Li Zhun Ji. With the Shi family also destroyed, that brat likely won't escape either. We can sit back and reap the benefits," a servant beside her said in a deep voice.
"Hmph, all useless fools! I'll have to send someone myself!"
Tian Hai Dan snorted coldly.
The Shi family had previously sworn assurances that they could deal with Chen Xuan, but what was the result?
They achieved nothing!
She no longer trusted others and decided to take matters into her own hands.
Tian Hai Dan said coldly, "Go and bring ten Martial Dao Venerables to capture Chen Xuan for me!"
The servant sucked in a cold breath.
Ten Martial Dao Venerables were a formidable force anywhere, but Tian Hai Dan was ordering ten of them to act. Was that brat that strong?
"Yes!"
He dared not refuse, nor question. He immediately nodded.
Then, he prepared to follow Tian Hai Dan's orders, but at that moment, a knock sounded on the door: "Knock, knock, knock..."
Tian Hai Dan frowned, "Who?"
"Mom, it's me!"
A weak male voice replied, sounding somewhat feeble.
A hint of tenderness flashed across Tian Hai Dan's face, "Come in."
At this moment, the door opened, and a young man in a wheelchair was pushed in.
This young man had a pale complexion, looking like a sickly person, and his spirit was listless. In appearance, he bore some resemblance to Su Ning.
His name was Su Tian Ci, Su Ning's elder brother. However, at a very young age, due to an accident, his legs were amputated, rendering him unable to stand or walk. Furthermore, his kidney organs suffered irreparable damage. According to doctors' predictions, Su Tian Ci would not live past thirty-five.
Upon hearing this news, Tian Hai Dan was heartbroken. However, the always ambitious Tian Hai Dan had placed all her hopes and efforts on Su Ning, and thus, Su Ning's death had been a great blow to her.
"Tian Ci, why are you here?"
Tian Hai Dan straightened her back, her voluptuous curves fully revealed.
Previously, while Tian Hai Dan did care about this son, she wasn't particularly focused on him. But now that Su Ning was dead, all her maternal love had shifted to Su Tian Ci.
"Mom, I heard the Shi family was wiped out. Did their actions also fail?"
Su Tian Ci said in a deep voice.
Tian Hai Dan hesitated for a moment before nodding, "Yes, they failed."
"Useless!"
Su Tian Ci gritted his teeth. "They can't even deal with a live-in son-in-law, what good are they!"
He angrily slammed his fist onto his knee.
Tian Hai Dan persuaded, "Tian Ci, Mom knows you care about Su Ning. Don't worry, I'll have someone deal with that live-in son-in-law now and guarantee his head will be twisted off!"
Su Tian Ci, however, said, "Mom, let me handle this!"
"Ah?"
Upon hearing this, Tian Hai Dan looked at Su Tian Ci with an incredulous expression.
Ever since Su Tian Ci's legs were severed, his personality had become very introverted. He usually avoided meeting people and even had some psychological issues, requiring a visit to a psychologist once a month.
For him to now voluntarily offer to travel to Jiangnan Province was simply unbelievable.
Su Tian Ci said firmly, "Mom, now that Su Ning is gone, you only have me as your son. I must shoulder all responsibilities and also avenge my brother Su Ning!"
Tian Hai Dan pondered for a moment and felt that Su Tian Ci's change was indeed normal.
Su Ning had died, and his disabled elder brother was seeking revenge for him, picking himself up.
"How do you plan to deal with that live-in son-in-law?"
Tian Hai Dan asked, frowning.
Su Tian Ci took a breath, waved his hand, and the servant pushing his wheelchair produced a document and handed it to Tian Hai Dan.
Tian Hai Dan took the document, glanced at it a few times, and looked at Su Tian Ci with surprise and suspicion, "You plan to deal with the Su family in the provincial capital through commercial means?"
Although Su Tian Ci was disabled and unable to cultivate, his mind was sharp, and he was naturally calm and had a talent for business. If not for his disability, Su Tian Ci would have undoubtedly gained considerable fame in the capital.
"Precisely!"
Su Tian Ci nodded and said, "This is a proposal I spent three days and three nights writing after my brother Su Ning had his accident. I believe that commercial means are a better choice to deal with the Su family in the provincial capital and that live-in son-in-law!"
"In this document, I have investigated the strength of the Su family in the provincial capital and that live-in son-in-law. If I go to the provincial capital, that brat will be finished within a month."
"At that time, he will be like fish on a chopping board, at our mercy."
Tian Hai Dan took a breath and gazed at Su Tian Ci for a few seconds. "Tian Ci, then you go to Jiangnan Province. Rest assured, you can mobilize the power and funds of our lineage as you wish."
Su Tian Ci's eyes flashed with a hint of joy, but it was so subtle that it was almost imperceptible.
"Then thank you, Mother. Without further ado, I will depart for Jiangnan Province immediately."
After speaking, Su Tian Ci took the document and turned to have someone push him out of the room.
Tian Hai Dan watched Su Tian Ci's retreating figure and sighed a few times.
"Madam Tian Hai, are you truly at ease letting Young Master Tian Ci go to the provincial capital of Jiangnan Province? What if something happens? That brat from the Su family in the provincial capital is very arrogant and fearless."
The servant beside her quickly reminded her.
Tian Hai Dan sighed and said, "Since Tian Ci has his own ideas, let him go. Now that he's my only son, it's time for him to gain some experience."
Previously, Tian Hai Dan's hopes were all on Su Ning. Now that Su Ning was gone, she could only rely on Su Tian Ci.
"But what about safety?"
"Send more people to protect Tian Ci. We absolutely cannot let anything happen to him!"
Tian Hai Dan said sternly.
"Yes! I'll go select people now!"
The servant took his leave, and Tian Hai Dan slowly walked to the window, gazing at the man-made scenery in the courtyard. Tian Hai Dan's expression was complex, "Su Tian Ci, my son, don't disappoint your mother!"
At the same time, in another room, a laugh could be heard.
The servant Ah Song looked at Su Tian Ci with a smile, "Congratulations, Young Master Tian Ci, you can finally go to Jiangnan Province as you wished!"
