Zheng Xingchao's face was gloomy.
He felt that now was the time to send Meng Wang to assassinate Na Rui.
By the time Long Pu returned, it would be too late.
As he thought this, his phone suddenly rang.
The caller ID showed the characters "A Yue".
"Answer it quickly!" Xie Wei urged.
However, Zheng Xingchao hesitated.
What if it wasn't his daughter on the other end?
What if it was Long Pu?
The thought of this person's ferocious face sent a shiver down Zheng Xingchao's spine.
Seeing Zheng Xingchao's hesitation, the others also realized this.
The atmosphere in the car suddenly became extremely heavy.
Meng Wang stared intently at Zheng Xingchao's phone, as if a poisonous worm might crawl out of it.
"Patriarch, I'll take it," Meng Wang said, reaching out.
"Forget it, I'll do it myself," Zheng Xingchao said, forcing himself to calm down. "No matter how powerful Long Pu is, he is only one person."
"We don't know who will emerge victorious."
Zheng Xingchao gathered all his courage and pressed the answer button.
"Hello."
"Dad, where are you?"
Zheng Yue's calm voice came from the receiver.
Instantly, Zheng Xingchao's spirits soared. "A Yue, you're alive?"
"Not only am I alive, but Lin Fan is also alive. Hurry back," Zheng Yue said rapidly.
"Back?" Zheng Xingchao was stunned. "Where is Long Pu?"
He was puzzled, how could Long Pu let them go?
Xie Wei thought the same thing. Could it be that Long Pu used some evil magic to control Zheng Yue and lure them back into a trap?
"Long Pu is dead. It's just me and Lin Fan at home, along with some wounded who couldn't escape in time," Zheng Yue said.
Zheng Xingchao was half-believing, half-doubting.
The scene of countless poisonous worms swarming Lin Fan was still vivid in his mind.
He exchanged a glance with Xie Wei, and they both nodded.
Zheng Yue was lying. They were sure of it!
"A Yue, do you still remember the movie I took you to see when you were little? What was it called?" Zheng Xingchao asked.
"Oh my god!" Zheng Yue clawed at her head. "Dad, you only took me to the movies alone once, when I was little. The movie was called 'The Red Shoes,' a horror film."
"I cried because I was scared, but you yelled at me, telling me not to make a scene in the cinema."
"If you have more questions, just ask them all at once."
Zheng Yue was very unhappy, her heart filled with hatred.
Zheng Xingchao frowned, looking at Xie Wei beside him.
After a moment of silent communication, they were still full of doubt.
"Sigh!" Zheng Yue sighed impatiently. "I'll take a photo of Long Pu's corpse and send it to you. You'll believe me when you see it."
*Snap!*
Zheng Yue hung up the phone fiercely.
She opened the camera and took several photos of the white bones not far away.
Then, she took a few more photos of Lin Fan.
"Hey, hey, hey, what are you taking pictures of me for?" Lin Fan was a little displeased. He was in a very disheveled state right now and not suitable for photos.
Unkempt, draped in a curtain, what kind of image was that?
"Let's document our escape," Zheng Yue said with a smile. "This is proof that we shared life and death."
"Just doing useless things," Lin Fan rolled his eyes.
Zheng Yue pursed her lips and smiled, seemingly thinking the same thing as Lin Fan.
On the other side, Zheng Xingchao received the photos and eagerly looked at them.
"Hiss!"
Looking at the white bones dotted with bloodstains, everyone in the car gasped.
Meng Wang pointed at the photo on the phone screen and said, "It is indeed Long Pu. There are his prayer beads and fragments of his yellow cassock."
"Could it be a backlash from the poisonous worms?"
Meng Wang thought of this possibility.
Evil arts were powerful, but they also had great hidden dangers.
Although he didn't understand witchcraft and sorcery, he had heard of such rumors.
"Good!"
"Good riddance!"
Zheng Xingchao excitedly slapped the seat, his face beaming with joy.
His greatest enemy had turned into a pile of white bones. What else could stop his Zheng family from achieving great things?
As for the dragon's aura on Zheng Yue's body...
At worst, he would just be an emperor emeritus!
Xie Wei looked at Lin Fan, who was oddly attired, and sighed, "Master Lin must have qi protection. He truly is a Heavenly Rank martial artist!"
No one in the car truly understood martial arts, otherwise, they would know that qi and martial artists were completely different things.
"Turn around, turn around, head back to the manor immediately," Zheng Xingchao shouted loudly.
Then he patted Xie Wei's shoulder. "Brother-in-law, hurry up and call everyone back. Frightened by such a small matter, how unseemly!"
Xie Wei's face flushed, and he secretly glanced at Zheng Xingchao.
Even the leader had fled, it was no wonder everyone else did!
The two took out their phones and made calls continuously.
At the same time, more than twenty kilometers away.
A Porsche Cayenne suddenly braked, its four tires leaving streaks of white smoke on the ground. The car swung its tail and ended up横across the road.
"Yu Rou, what's gotten into you?" Li Yu Sheng asked in confusion.
"The sense of crisis is gone. We don't need to run anymore," Li Yu Rou said, her eyes glazed over as she calmly probed the situation at the Zheng family manor.
"What did you say?" Li Yu Sheng was stunned.
At this moment, a mobile phone ring startled the brother and sister.
"It should be Lin Fan. Answer it quickly," Li Yu Rou said.
After the sense of crisis disappeared, she thought Lin Fan would call.
"Brother Li, you're not very loyal, running off and leaving me behind."
Lin Fan's complaining voice came from the receiver, leaving Li Yu Sheng dumbfounded.
"Brother Lin, you... you..." Li Yu Sheng stammered, unable to utter a coherent sentence.
"I am Lin Fan himself. When we were in Jiangnan, after the first day of the competition, I met you siblings by the West Lake and suggested we cooperate and cheat, aiming for a draw."
Lin Fan, having witnessed Zheng Xingchao's suspicion, was worried that Li Yu Sheng might also be suspicious, so he proactively brought up past events.
Li Yu Sheng gave an awkward laugh. "Brother Lin, I didn't mean that. By the way, how is Long Pu?"
"Long Pu is dead," Lin Fan said.
"Is that true?" Li Yu Sheng was very surprised and raised his voice.
The abbot of Liming Temple, a renowned eminent monk throughout Siam, who not only possessed unfathomable internal energy but also secretly raised poisonous worms, had such a formidable scoundrel died just like that?
The siblings found it hard to believe.
"I don't have time to chat with you two. Hurry back. Long Pu left a few items that I don't recognize. Come back and help me identify them," Lin Fan said impatiently.
"Oh, okay, okay, okay."
The call ended.
Li Yu Sheng looked at his sister, full of confusion. "Lin Fan killed Long Pu and is now asking us to come back."
"Let's go!" Li Yu Rou started the car without hesitation.
