Chapter 530 Still Not Revealing Your True Face, Baili Hui
Fu Cunxue closed the door and leaned against it, listening for a moment before throwing the bag in her hand onto the bed and sitting down.
"Everything is in chaos outside, and you still have the heart to lie here and nurse your wounds."
Old Pang looked at Fu Cunxue with greed and obsession in his eyes, reaching out to touch her face.
"Let it be chaotic. Isn't our goal to make Zi Yisheng too preoccupied to care for himself?"
Zi Yisheng leaned back in his chair with his eyes closed, listening to the sound in his earphones. Ouyang, noticing the upturned corners of his mouth, cautiously sat a little further away.
"You know nothing. Forget about Chenghai City. The Bai family in Mingcheng has been bombed, old and young are all dead. Ye Shenge is still in critical condition, likely won't survive."
Old Pang immediately sat up, not even caring about the wound that was pulled.
"All dead? Who did it?"
"Still don't know, but it wasn't him."
Seeing Old Pang in a daze, Fu Cunxue's face immediately fell. But her face felt even more itchy. Pinching it with her fingernails was useless.
"What? Regretting it?"
"Cunxue, you promised me that once Xiao Sheng stepped down and Ye Shenge was dead, you would stop. But now even his two children are dead. How will I face him in the future?"
"Hahahaha, Pang Puce, are you an idiot? You were going to kill his wife, and you still want to face him? It's good if he doesn't kill you."
Old Pang's neck stiffened, as if this was the last vestige of his strength.
"Women, they can be remarried if lost. He certainly won't hate me for a woman."
Zi Yisheng suddenly kicked over the table in front of him. Ouyang looked as expected; he had always been prescient.
"It's your turn tonight. Don't mess up."
Seeing Fu Cunxue about to leave, Old Pang quickly grabbed her, pushed her onto the hospital bed, and kissed her.
"Cunxue, you promised me that once this is done, you'll leave with me. I still don't understand why you're involved in all this."
Fu Cunxue pushed away the person on her with disgust, stood up, and tidied her messy clothes, her eyes full of mockery.
"You don't need to know. Just do what you should do."
Old Pang sat on the bed, lost in thought. He wasn't a fool who knew nothing.
"Young Master Zi, Old He has spoken, but he wants to see you first."
Zi Yisheng loosened his collar button and glanced at the mess on the floor.
"Clean it all up."
When Old He saw Zi Yisheng, he immediately knelt on the ground, his aged white head hitting the floor with force.
"I'll say everything, please spare the innocent people of the He family. I am willing to accept any punishment, please, please."
Zi Yisheng stood in front of him, staring coldly.
Old He looked at the shiny leather shoes in front of him and slowly looked up.
"Young Master Zi, I was contacted by those people last year after receiving a letter."
Ouyang brought a chair for Zi Yisheng, then helped Old He up and seated him properly.
"It was when I was seriously ill, I thought I wouldn't make it. But the letter directly gave me hope to live.
He didn't state the conditions, just gave me a bottle of medicine, saying to try it first before discussing terms. What is there to fear when you're on the verge of death? I wanted to live so badly."
Zi Yisheng was already impatient. He tapped the armrest, and Ouyang handed him a box of cigarettes.
"Speak faster."
"Okay, okay."
"After drinking the medicine, I felt more than half better in just half an hour, and I could even get out of bed and walk. Do you know how I felt? This is a miracle drug, a miracle drug!
So I was willing to pay the price. I wanted to live longer and make the He family more stable."
Zi Yisheng exhaled the last puff of smoke and crushed the cigarette butt under his shoe.
"Ahem, get to the point. What did he ask you to do?"
Ouyang's reminder made Old He steal a glance at Zi Yisheng.
"The first thing was to arrange people on the list he gave me in suitable positions. I did it well, and he gave me another bottle of medicine."
"Do you still have the list?"
"Yes, I can write it down now."
"So, who is he?"
"At first, I really didn't know. He always sent the medicine and letters through a young girl. But after drinking the second bottle of medicine, I found my health declining again within a month.
Only then did I realize that the medicine had to be taken continuously, like opium, it was addictive. Wasn't he trying to control me and treat me like a puppet?
My life as Old He has been smooth sailing, never expecting to fall so hard in my old age. But I didn't want him to have it easy either, so after helping him with a few more things, I finally uncovered his identity."
Was the mastermind finally going to be revealed?
"He thought he was the only smart one. Although I helped him, I also wanted to at the last moment..."
"Why do you have so much nonsense, just say who it is!"
Ouyang wished he could kick him.
"Okay, okay, I'm old, so I ramble."
"He is the famous eldest young master of the Baili family back then, Baili Xi."
Zi Yisheng smiled. Truly, he wasn't dead after all.
Seeing Zi Yisheng's sinister smile, Old He thought he had spoken too slowly.
"I also know his hideout in Chenghai City, but I don't know if he's still there. After all, he'll notice if I'm caught."
Just as Old He was kneeling down to write the address and list, he saw Zi Yisheng about to leave. He quickly lunged to his feet and hugged his leg, refusing to let go.
"Young Master Zi, Young Master Zi, I've confessed everything. Can you..."
"No, this is what should have been done from the start."
Ouyang quickly pulled him away. What conditions were being discussed at this point?
Zi Yisheng's face was dark all the way. Ouyang understood perfectly. Baili Xi was supposed to have died at their hands back then, yet he was alive and well now.
"Young Master Zi, perhaps the Baili family had some secret technique that allowed for feigned death. Otherwise, there's no other possibility."
"Regardless of whether it's true or not, capture him for me first. The Baili family that can change faces is indeed difficult to catch."
Zi Yisheng didn't believe that the person who eliminated Baili Xi back then would betray him, so that Baili Xi must still be fake.
Ye Shenge sat on the bed, lost in thought, wondering how scared the children must be.
Elder Fan pointed to the clock on the wall. Ye Shenge looked at the time and nodded. Fu Cunxue might not even have time to return to the hotel.
Mother Ye cooperated perfectly, opening the door and calling out with a crying voice.
"Asen, go see why Cunxue hasn't returned yet. I'm worried she might have an accident on the road, it's too chaotic outside."
"Why don't I go take a look?"
"Go. Since Shenge isn't waking up, I can't worry about others."
Fu Cunxue, halfway down the road, felt her face itching uncontrollably. Her first thought was that Ye Shenge had drugged her, but then she considered that everyone in the room had come into contact with everything she had.
Moreover, she was confident that Ye Shenge wouldn't suspect her, as all her actions this time had been carefully considered.
Fu Cunxue turned back to the hospital and found a doctor to prescribe some anti-itch medicine, planning to treat it properly after tonight.
She still wanted to personally witness Ye Shenge's death tonight, which was her greatest wish.
Fu Cunxue saw Asen driving to pick her up halfway.
"How is Shenge?"
"Not good. She still hasn't woken up."
"How could this happen? Those people deserve to die."
"Yes, they all deserve to die. I will cut her flesh off piece by piece."
A cold glint flashed in Asen's eyes. Fu Cunxue, oblivious, got into the car.
Fu Cunxue rushed to Ye Shenge's bedside first. Seeing her pale, unconscious face, her eyes were full of dissatisfaction.
"Two masters, when will Shenge wake up?"
Elder Fan leaned against the sofa, looking weary, shaking his head without even opening his eyes. He was afraid his disgust would show.
"What kind of life is this? I lost my child for the first fifteen years. After finally finding her, I have to endure the pain of losing her again.
Now, even my two grandchildren are gone. They want my family to be destroyed. How did we offend them? Killing someone is just a nod of the head, why are they trying to exterminate us completely? I'll fight them!"
"Auntie, you need to take care of yourself. Shenge might wake up."
"Mom."
Fu Cunxue was genuinely surprised by the weak voice. That's great, Ye Shenge's vitality is truly tenacious. Even heaven wants to fulfill her wish.
"Shenge, you're awake."
"Daughter, you're finally awake."
Ye Shenge struggled to raise her hand and grasp Mother Ye's hand, saying word by word.
"Mom, a reward of ten million. Help me find the murderer. I want them dead."
"Okay, Mom will do it right away. I'll spend all the money of the Ye and Bai families to catch the murderer."
Fu Cunxue's face held pride mixed with jealousy. Pride that they would work themselves to death and still not find the murderer, and jealousy that they were truly wealthy.
"Shenge, you need to take care of your body. Even if you're looking for the murderer, you need to be strong enough."
Suddenly, Fu Cunxue's face began to hurt intensely, so much so that she couldn't stand.
"Ah~~~"
Mother Ye quickly jumped away, afraid the person would fall on her.
"What's wrong? What's wrong with this?"
Elder Fan slowly squatted down to take her pulse.
"How can this be?"
"Elder Fan, what's wrong with me?"
Fu Cunxue tightly grasped Elder Fan's hand. She knew Elder Fan's medical skills all too well.
"This is not good. How did you get such a serious illness?"
Fu Cunxue's heart sank inch by inch. Was she going to die before Ye Shenge? Impossible, absolutely impossible.
"Elder Fan, what exactly is wrong with me? Please tell me. Ah~~~ It hurts, I'm in so much pain."
Elder Fan disdainfully pushed Fu Cunxue's hand away and stood up.
"Tumor rupture. Once it ruptures, you only have two hours to live. Where did you contract this poison?"
"Poison!"
Fu Cunxue crawled to the bedside with difficulty, looking at Ye Shenge.
"It was you, wasn't it? You poisoned me."
Ye Shenge slowly sat up and tidied her messy long hair.
"Aren't you going to reveal the mask on your face? Baili Hui!"
Fu Cunxue fell to the ground again in disbelief.
"How could it be? How did you know?"
Asen suddenly grabbed Fu Cunxue and pressed her to the ground. He forcefully tore off a thin mask from her neck, revealing a face covered in festering sores.
Mother Ye, with great disgust, handed Fu Cunxue a mirror, allowing her to properly see her terrifying appearance.
"Ah~~~~ Ye Shenge, you deserve to die."
"You deserve to die. You should have died ten years ago."
Ye Shenge, barefoot, kicked Baili Hui fiercely, releasing all the anger she had suppressed her entire life.
Mother Ye watched with heartache and quickly brought a pair of leather shoes from outside, placing them on the ground.
"Shenge, wear your shoes before fighting."
Mother Ye also grabbed a slipper and kept hitting Baili Hui on the head. How could there be such a vicious person in the world?
"Ye Shenge, do you think you've won again? Hahaha, at least your two children died at my hands. This is the price, the price of being childless."
Ye Shenge put on her shoes and sneered.
"I'm sorry, my family is all alive and well. The ones who will be childless will be your Baili family."
Baili Hui could no longer feel the pain. She didn't believe it, she absolutely didn't believe it.
"Hahaha, you're still lying to me."
Pang Puce changed his clothes and went to Zi Yisheng's office.
"Xiao Sheng, is it true?"
Zi Yisheng silently lit a cigarette and turned to look out the window, afraid he would be unable to resist questioning Pang Puce.
