The Whale in the Mountains

Chapter 692 But You Harmed Me

“Damn, what do you mean by that? You wouldn't dare kill us, would you?”

Li Dahai stood up abruptly.

“Don't you have a gun? I'll stand right here and let you shoot me today. See if you dare to pull the trigger!”

Li Dahai pointed at his head, shouting like a mad dog.

“Dad… please don't…”

Li Zijian quickly tried to stop him, hoping to save his father's life.

However, Li Dahai didn't appreciate it at all, shaking him off with a flick of his arm.

“You useless coward, get away from me. I don't believe this bitch would actually dare to…”

*Bang!*

A gunshot rang out, and Li Dahai took a peanut, right in the back of his head.

“Ah–”

Before Li Dahai could even cry out as he died, Wang Peixia screamed it all out for him.

“My god, you actually dared to shoot! Murder! Help! Murder!”

Wang Peixia screamed and ran outside.

*Bang!*

Another gunshot rang out.

Chen Xiao sincerely sighed. Li Ziqing's marksmanship was truly excellent, one shot, one kill!

Seeing his parents being killed by Li Ziqing, Li Zijian didn't think of revenge, but of begging for mercy.

He knelt on the ground, kowtowing frantically. “Sister, please, spare me! I'm still young, I don't want to die! I'm not like them, I didn't harm my second uncle and aunt!”

Li Zijian also hadn't expected Li Ziqing to dare to fire a gun in front of the ancestral tablets.

“Well, your parents' death really has nothing to do with you.”

Li Ziqing said calmly, “You were still young then. Even if you wanted to harm them, it wouldn't be your turn…”

Li Zijian breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed his life was saved.

“Sister, as long as you're willing to let me go, I'll be your closest and dearest good brother in this world from now on. Whatever you want me to do, I'll do it. If you want me to go east, I won't go…”

*Bang!*

Just when Li Zijian thought he had escaped death, a bullet pierced his forehead.

“You really didn't harm them, but you harmed me.”

Cut the weeds and eliminate the roots. Li Ziqing wasn't a benevolent person. From the moment she fired the first shot today, she had no intention of letting this family of three continue to live.

After slaughtering the Li Dahai family, Li Ziqing gently exhaled.

“How do you feel?”

Chen Xiao asked with a smile.

“I don't feel anything.”

Li Ziqing returned a smile. “I've rehearsed this scene countless times in my mind.”

“I'll help you dispose of the bodies.”

Chen Xiao finally found something he could do.

However, just as he was about to start, Li Ziqing suddenly stopped him. “Wait a minute.”

After speaking, Li Ziqing rummaged through Li Zijian's body and found his phone.

She used his hand to unlock the phone, opened the address book, and started searching.

Finally, Li Ziqing found a phone number named Li Zigang and recorded it.

“This is Li Dashan's son.”

Li Ziqing explained.

Chen Xiao nodded, indicating understanding.

After dealing with the Third Uncle's family, the next one would naturally be the First Uncle's family.

Li Ziqing dialed Li Zigang's phone number.

“Hello, who is this?”

Since it was an unfamiliar number, a questioning voice came from the other end of the phone after it was connected.

“Are you Li Zigang? This is Li Ziqing.”

Li Ziqing said calmly. Her tone didn't reveal any emotion.

“Li Ziqing?”

The other side was obviously stunned for a moment, then said with delight, “It's Little Sister Ziqing! How did you get my phone number? Calling me suddenly, there must be something up, right?”

For some reason, Li Zigang seemed a little excited to receive Li Ziqing's call.

Li Ziqing frowned because Li Zigang's reaction surprised her.

Or rather, it wasn't what she had expected.

If his reaction was indifferent, angry, or even fearful and guilty, it would all be understandable.

But this excitement was something Li Ziqing couldn't understand.

Because that excitement was like receiving a call from a long-lost relative.

“Where are you? Let's meet.”

Li Ziqing's tone was still cold, devoid of emotion.

“Me?”

Li Zigang hesitated for a moment. “I'm not really available right now. How about this, you find a place to wait for me, I'll be off work soon. I'll treat you to dinner tonight.”

Li Ziqing frowned even deeper, and her voice sank. “I want to see you now.”

“Uh, okay, where are you? Let me see how long it will take me to get there.”

Li Zigang seemed to be calculating something.

“I'm at the ancestral home.”

“You're at the ancestral home? That's a coincidence, I happen to be nearby. How about this, you wait for me at the entrance of the alley. Wait for me a few minutes, I'll finish up here and head over right away!”

Li Zigang said readily.

“Okay, I'll wait for you. Don't stand me up.”

After speaking, Li Ziqing hung up the phone.

Then, Chen Xiao and Li Ziqing left the ancestral home and went to the entrance of the alley to wait for Li Zigang.

Of course, before leaving, Chen Xiao didn't forget to burn all three corpses.

While waiting, Li Ziqing briefly introduced the situation of Li Dashan's family.

Relatively speaking, Li Dashan wasn't as unreliable as Li Dahai, nor was he as bad as Li Dahai.

Li Dashan's biggest flaw was that he was dull and simple-minded, without much of an opinion.

As for his son, Li Zigang, Li Ziqing's only memory was from when she was very young, and he often took her out to play.

When Li Ziqing returned to the Imperial City four years ago, she hadn't seen him, so she didn't know anything about his recent situation.

“What are you planning to do with this family?”

Chen Xiao asked casually.

“It depends on their reaction. Actually, I was really giving Li Dahai a chance just now. After all, he grew up with my dad. It's just a pity that he was stubborn and refused to repent.”

Li Ziqing wasn't as cold-blooded as she imagined herself to be. She also had an emotional side.

It's just that most of the decisions she made were based on reason.

This also made her seem different from most women.

While the two were chatting, a young food delivery rider in a yellow vest stopped in front of them.

He took off his helmet, revealing a simple face, looking travel-worn.

He looked at Li Ziqing and asked tentatively, “Excuse me, are you Miss Li?”

Li Ziqing nodded and then asked, “Are you?”

Immediately afterward, Li Ziqing's face showed a surprised expression.

“You are… Li Zigang?”

The simple young man grinned, revealing two rows of white teeth, nodding like a chick pecking rice. “It's me, Ziqing. Girls change a lot as they grow up, I almost didn't recognize you!”

Li Ziqing thought to herself, you're stating the obvious. So many years have passed, I hadn't even started kindergarten the last time we met. It would be strange if you recognized me!

However, what's even stranger is, why is Li Zigang delivering food now?
