Chapter 570: Chapter 569: Unveiling the Past of Ji Baijian and Leng Wanqing (Third Update)
Leader Mansion.
Leng Wanqing ordered Jun Mingfeng to redraft the will.
Three wills lay in front of the Dean.
Leng Wanqing commanded, “Sign!”
With a cold laugh, the Dean retorted, “I would rather die than sign!”
“That’s okay.” Leng Wanqing smiled, “I knew you would react this way. Mingfeng, bring the Forge Master.”
The Dean looked at Leng Wanqing in disbelief.
Suddenly, a middle-aged man walked in tremblingly.
“Sign as the Dean.”
“Madam...”
“If you don’t want to die!”
Left with no choice, the man took the pen and wrote the Dean’s name on the will.
It was almost identical. An average person would never discern the difference.
Once the man has signed,
Leng Wanqing gave a signal.
Jun Mingfeng ordered for him to be taken away.
As he was taken out, a gunshot echoed.
It wasn’t hard to deduce what had just happened.
Song Zhizhi was startled and looked towards the door.
Enraged, the Dean shouted, “Leng Wanqing, you cold-blooded woman, Heaven will punish you for your deeds one day!”
“Dean, there’s no need for you to worry,” Leng Wanqing jeered, “Mingfeng, have your father put his handprint on it!”
“Yes, Mother.”
That said, Jun Mingfeng walked towards the Dean.
With bloodshot eyes, the Dean glared at his own son. “Jun Mingfeng, do you realize what you’re doing?!”
“Father, winner takes all. You should not have competed with my mother from the start,” Jun Mingfeng replied indifferently.
At that moment,
Jun Mingfeng abruptly pulled his father’s hand,
Although the Dean was resisting, he was no match for a few men pressing on him.
Jun Mingfeng shackled his father’s thumb, pressed an inkpad on it, and stamped his handprint on the will.
Once the will was stamped,
Jun Mingfeng handed it to Leng Wanqing.
Leng Wanqing glanced at it.
Content, she turned to the Dean and said, “You can be at ease now.”
“Leng Wanqing! If you want to kill me...”
“The Dean suddenly fell ill and fainted. Despite rescues, he plummeted to his death. The nation is mourning,” Leng Wanqing loudly announced.
“Leng Wanqing...” The Dean’s eyes were bulging with rage and hatred.
Undeterred by the Dean’s emotions, Leng Wanqing motioned her men,
Taking the order, they walked towards the Dean, suffocated him, and with a forceful move...
“What is Madam doing to my father?”
But in that moment, his image crystallised in her mind.
She was absolutely sure.
The man in front of her was Ye Shengheng.
How could this be possible!
How could it be possible?!
She had watched with her own eyes as he was torn to pieces by a pack of wild dogs.
She still remembered everything about that day.
That day.
The Ye family was cruelly framed. She intentionally let Ye Shengheng escape.
The Leng family has always been in control of the underground forces, dominating in one region and even able to shake the political power of some small countries. Their ambition was growing and they had their eyes on Yanshang Country. Commercial Management and the official family needed to be taken over. They planned to take control of Commercial Management first and focus on the official family. So, she came to Yanshang Country with her older brother when she was just 16. They established a connection with the Ye family through trade and other economic interactions, then used the ambitious Ye Taiting’s family to kill the entire Ye family and seize control of the Commercial Management institutions via the Ye Taiting family.
However, from the moment she first saw Ye Shengheng, she was love-struck.
She had never seen such a handsome man. He was refined, gracefully noble, a knowledgeable reader, and talented in life. She couldn’t take her eyes off him.
For the first time, she felt her heart beat uncontrollably!
She couldn’t stop the scheme of her family, nor did she want to. Yet she didn’t want Ye Shengheng to die! She could save him if he married her. But Ye Shengheng completely disregarded her advances and even rejected her outright.
To get back at Ye Shengheng, she enthusiastically helped Ye Taiting’s family trap Ye Shengheng’s family. At the critical moment of killing Ye Shengheng, she hesitated and intentionally let him escape. She had been tracking him and ultimately confronted him in person.
Leng Wanqing had grown up in cruelty. She was taught by her father how to kill from the age of six. She scorned the value of all life and did not care about showing compassion. Ye Shengheng was the first man she wanted to kill, but then hesitated. She gave Ye Shengheng one last chance, “Promise to be with me, and I won’t kill you. I will even help you take revenge on Ye Taiting’s family.”
Ye Shengheng refused.
He would rather die than be with her.
She had no lingering feelings for such a man.
What Leng Wanqing couldn’t have, she would obliterate.
She released a pack of wild dogs. She watched as Ye Shengheng was ruthlessly butchered by the dogs, his defenseless body torn to shreds, and then consumed until nothing was left.
That was the outcome.
That was the result of refusing her.
For a long time, she remembered Ye Shengheng’s every smile and frown, but when she thought of his rejection of her affection, she regretted nothing about his grisly death!
She couldn’t believe it now.
Suddenly, she saw Ye Shengheng again.
Saw this man who was just as young and unforgettable as he had been all those years ago.
Previously, she had never met Ji Baijian face to-face. If she had, she might have recognized him at first sight.
This man, who had left so many traces in her life...she would have recognized him immediately.
But still.
She couldn’t believe it.
She really couldn’t believe it.
She didn’t believe in the existence of an elixir of immortality.
She also couldn’t believe that he, who had been eaten by a dog with nothing left, could be standing perfectly unharmed before her.
This man couldn’t be Ye Shengheng!
Definitely not.
It’s just a little similar!
Or maybe... a descendant of Ye Shengheng.
No.
Ye Shengheng had no descendants.
Who was this man, really?!
