Chapter 136 Confrontation
"This long journey is definitely not an excuse for you to invade private areas! Moreover, my eyes clearly captured you holding a cold blade, hesitating at the threshold. That posture clearly foreshadows the evil that is about to be committed!"
Butler Liu defended himself eagerly, his voice mixed with innocence and urgency: "That's not the case! I was just attracted by the sharpness of the blade and kept looking at it for a while. I didn't have any bad intentions! Lao Wang, you have to believe me!"
The two men exchanged verbal attacks, neither of them giving in, and the atmosphere was tense and stalemate.
Pei Yu's brows were twisted into a deep knot, and he looked very worried.
Although his intuition was more inclined to trust Han Yue'er's description, if the man firmly denied it, the charge of illegal intrusion would most likely fall on Han Yue'er's shoulders.
After all, Steward Liu and Old Man Wang have had a deep friendship for many years. Once Old Man Wang agrees that he is visiting out of friendship, or is even moved by his sweet talk, today's matter will probably become a complicated entanglement that will not be easily resolved.
At this moment, Pei Yu suddenly had an idea and asked a key question: "Junwei, is the purpose of your trip also to find Old Man Wang?"
Sheng Junwei looked indifferent, and her tone revealed an undisguised disappointment and helplessness: "It's all because of you. What was originally a simple search has turned into such a chaotic situation."
The hexagram's prediction was like a shrouded haze, revealing the bloody disaster that Old Man Wang would face today, with his life hanging by a thread.
The mastermind behind this was actually someone familiar to him, who attempted to silence him through cruel means and cover up his past sins.
All the grudges can be traced back to the past. In that manor where they worked together, the dark side of people's hearts quietly grew.
This steward Liu was a man of deep scheming and ruthless means. Facing the fact that the owner of the manor was just a weak girl, the greed in his heart grew like weeds and he developed the evil idea of occupying the manor.
He cleverly mixed inferior products with high-quality seeds, causing the girl to mistakenly believe that the soil was barren, gradually lowering her expectations for a good harvest.
When the girl's hopes were almost shattered, he exchanged them for good seeds and only gave her a small portion of the harvest every year, and the remaining large amount of wealth quietly fell into his pocket.
After several years, he had amassed enough wealth to buy the entire manor, but he unexpectedly discovered that the former orphan had grown into a beautiful and elegant flower.
Greed instantly turned into lust, and he began to set his sights on her.
The girl lost her support at an early age, and deep in her heart she longed for warmth and care.
Although Butler Liu is much older, he is still handsome and good at understanding people's hearts. He uses all means to win her trust and lure her into his control.
However, good times are always short-lived.
Not long after, the girl accidentally discovered the secret of the sudden drop in production in those years.
Although she looks weak, she is actually very tough.
The moment the truth was revealed, the flame of revenge had already ignited in my heart, and I vowed not to let him off easily.
Butler Liu temporarily calmed the situation with his eloquent speech, but in his heart he hated the "traitor" who leaked the information.
Even without knowing their true identities, he can quickly screen out suspicious individuals.
There were only a handful of people who had access to the seeds that year, and Old Man Wang was one of them.
So, a terrible idea emerged in his mind - to kill people to silence them and prevent future troubles.
Unfortunately, Old Man Wang's son happened to be missing, so he went out to look for him.
Fearing that Old Man Wang would leak the secret to other family members, he hardened his heart and quietly ended the lives of Old Man Wang's parents and wife.
The means were concealed and the layout was ingenious, everything seemed to be a natural disaster or man-made disaster. The villagers only felt sorry for the Wang family's misfortune and never suspected the cruel truth hidden behind it.
As time passed, Old Man Wang was the only one left in the Wang family.
The original plan was to end Old Man Wang's life two years ago, but seeing that he was disheartened by the disappearance of his son and the deaths of his family members, and his increasingly serious leg disease, Butler Liu actually found a twisted pleasure in it.
He let Old Man Wang linger in endless sorrow and despair, and occasionally came to peek at his pain. To him, Old Man Wang's suffering became a unique form of entertainment, adding a bit of morbid pleasure to his life.
Because of this, Old Man Wang has been able to maintain his breathing with difficulty in this endless sea of suffering until today.
The trigger for this series of events actually came from a rumor that a kind-hearted person was secretly helping the helpless old man Wang to find his son who had been separated from him for many years.
Over the years, Old Man Wang has become increasingly hunched over, and the years have carved deep wrinkles on his face. Neighbors stay away from him, fearing that they will be infected by the old man's lingering loneliness and misfortune.
Butler Liu, who boasted that his plans were flawless, had a secret hidden in his heart that was like a sword of Damocles hanging over his head, causing him constant restlessness during countless days and nights.
Until one day, he heard that someone voluntarily intervened to help Old Man Wang find his son, and a huge wave of emotion suddenly surged in his heart.
He knew very well that if this matter was leaked, everything he had worked so hard for would be destroyed.
So he began to set up an elaborate trap, paying attention to even the smallest details, and even reserved several escape routes for himself to ensure that nothing could go wrong.
Sheng Junwei insisted that the perpetrator carry out the act personally, not only because the unknown evil past had been buried for too long, but also because she knew that the person behind the scenes acted flawlessly and all traces had been wiped out without a trace.
Although she can reconstruct crime scenes by observing subtle changes in people's faces, but...
Without substantial evidence, all the truth will be just nonsense in the eyes of the world, and she herself will be branded as a person who speaks nonsense.
Therefore, she decided to set up a tight net to catch the criminals red-handed and kill the enemy in one fell swoop.
However, the current situation almost ruined her careful plan because of the unexpected intrusion of these two uninvited guests!
Her gaze was like ice, sharp and unquestionable, which made Pei Yu feel sorry involuntarily. He apologized in a low voice: "I'm... I'm sorry."
Han Yueer was not willing to be outdone when she heard this, and said indignantly: "Why are you apologizing to her? She is obviously jealous of me! She is jealous that I can save people and make meritorious deeds!"
Then, she looked at Sheng Junwei provocatively, "You can see through people's hearts and foresee the future. If you are so smart, can't you see my sincerity?"
The corners of her mouth curled up into a sly smile, and her words were stinging: "Or are you afraid to face the fact that I am better than you, so you teamed up with this cruel murderer to try to frame me?"
"Yuer, you misunderstood Junwei." Pei Yu frowned and hurriedly explained.
Han Yueer felt a chill running down her spine: "Pei Yu, I misjudged you!"
