"What did you say?"
Upon hearing that a life had been lost, Lin Zhennan immediately stood up with a grave expression on his face.
Lin Pingzhi was shocked and thought,""Bai Er was fine when he went hunting with me during the day. How could he suddenly die? Could it be that the two Sichuan ghosts came to take his life? No, we only had some conflict with them and didn't kill them. Even if they wanted to take their lives, they shouldn't have come to us.”
Just as Lin Pingzhi's thoughts were fluctuating, Lin Zhennan had already brought the Wang family to the backyard.
Lin Pingzhi immediately came back to his senses and quickly followed.
After a while, he arrived at the backyard and saw Bai Er's corpse lying in front of the room. Beside him stood a few servants who were pointing and discussing in low voices.
Upon seeing Lin Zhennan's arrival, a few servants hurriedly cupped their fists and bowed."Chief Escort."
Lin Zhennan nodded and walked to the corpse. He squatted down and examined it carefully.
However, after checking it over and over again, he couldn't find any problems.
"Father, how did Second White die?" Lin Pingzhi asked carefully.”
"There's not a single wound on his body, and his face doesn't look like he was poisoned."”
Then, he turned to Chenqi and asked,""Seventh Chen, how did you find White Two?”
" I wanted to go to the toilet just now," Chen Qi said in a trembling voice." I happened to see Bai Er lying here. I thought he had drunk too much. I went forward to touch him and found that he was dead."”
Hearing this, Lin Zhennan immediately muttered to himself.
After pondering for a moment, he looked at Seventh Chen and said,""Seventh Chen, go and tell the accountant to bring a hundred taels of silver to his house and then help him settle his funeral matters.”
"Yes, Chief Escort."
Seventh Chen responded and left.
Lin Zhennan turned to Lin Pingzhi and asked,"Ping Er, did you encounter anything unusual when you brought people out to hunt during the day?”
Lin Pingzhi didn't dare to talk about what happened during the day. He stammered,"No…no, everything is normal.”
"Old Master, things in this world are always unpredictable. Perhaps Second Bai has some hidden illness."”
"That's true." Lin Zhennan nodded and said.”
At this moment, Chenqi ran over with a panicked expression and shouted,""Chief…Chief Escort Leader, this is bad. Escort Leader Zheng and Escort Leader Shi are also dead.”
"What?!"
When he heard this news again, Lin Zhennan finally realized that something big had happened.
If it was just the death of Bai Er, it could be seen as a hidden illness acting up. Now, two more people had died, and they were the most capable people in the escort agency. It was impossible that they also had a hidden illness. After a moment of shock, Lin Zhennan's old face darkened as he went to check on Escort Leader Zheng and Escort Leader Shi's corpses.
Lin Pingzhi became more and more uneasy.
A moment later…
After a round of inspection, Escort Head Zheng and Escort Head Shi died in the same manner as White Two. There were still no injuries.
Lin Zhennan immediately looked at Seventh Chen. His gaze was very sharp. It was obvious that he was questioning him.
Chen Qi hurriedly explained," Chief…Chief Escort, it's none of my business. I passed by here and thought that Bai Er was their subordinate, so I planned to tell them about Bai Er's death. Who knew that when I came in, I would see them lying at the door." Besides, my kung fu is so bad, how could I kill them?”Then, he looked at Lin Pingzhi with a face full of horror and said in a trembling voice,"Young…Young Chief Escort, we're dead for sure this time. It must be those two Sichuan ghosts who came to take revenge on us.”
Lin Pingzhi was scared, but he didn't believe in ghosts. He shouted,""What nonsense are you spouting!"
At this moment, Lin Zhennan could already tell that his son was hiding something from him. Perhaps this was the reason why Escort Head Zheng and the others were killed.
"Ping Er, what are you hiding from me?" he asked in a deep voice.”
At this point, Lin Pingzhi didn't dare to hide it anymore and stammered,""Father, son…"
Lin Zhennan saw that this was a public place and not a place to talk, so he said,"Let's talk in the study."
He turned to the escort leaders and escorts and said,"Watch the courtyard and don't panic.”
"Yes, Chief Escort," everyone replied in unison.”
After a while, they arrived at the study. Lin Pingzhi told them everything that happened in the afternoon, not daring to hide anything.
"Ping Er, according to what you said, the person who was killed should be a disciple of the Qingcheng Monastery." However, I still don't understand one thing. Temple Master Yu's letter only arrived today. The letter said that he would send four disciples to Fuzhou to pay their respects. Why did the Qingcheng Monastery's people arrive today, and only two of them?”
"Let me tell you."
Suddenly, a clear voice came from outside.
In the next moment, the door of the study suddenly opened. Before Lin Zhennan and his family of three could react to what was going on, there was already an additional person in the study.
It was Wang Bukong.
After seeing Wang Bukong's appearance, Lin Pingzhi's face turned pale and he said in a trembling voice,""It's…it's you!"
Lin Zhennan immediately drew his sword and said with a shocked expression,"Who are you?"
Lady Wang also pulled out her dual sabers, her face full of vigilance.
"Dad, he's the one who killed those two Sichuan ghosts," Lin Pingzhi said.”
Lin Zhennan could not help but be shocked when he heard this. He continued to ask,"What is the purpose of your late night visit?”
"Lin Zhennan, although I don't have much of a relationship with you, I'm not your enemy either. There's no need to be so hostile."”He paused for a moment before continuing,"As for the reason why I came here tonight, it was just a spur of the moment. I wanted to solve the doubts in your hearts so that you wouldn't die without knowing why.”
In fact, he had come to the Lin family late at night not on a whim, but to complete a choice.
Option 1: If he saw injustice, he would shout. Yu Canghai of the Qingcheng Sect planned to slaughter the entire Lin family for the sake of the Evil Repelling Sword Manual. As a righteous young man with unique skills, how could he sit idly by? Go inform the Lin family and let them know the cause and effect. Then, bring them away and reward them with any martial art to the highest realm.
[Option 2: If this matter has nothing to do with you, you will stay high and watch the storm. You will not receive any rewards if you become a qualified bystander.]
"Option 3: Get the Lin family's Evil-warding Sword Manual first, then slaughter the entire Lin family, making Yu Canghai miss. Reward: Evil-warding Sword Technique, and raise it to the great success realm."
Of these three choices, Wang Bukong naturally chose the first one. Thus, he came to the Lin family.
Looking at Wang Bukong, Lin Zhennan's thoughts surged."This person was able to bypass all the guards and silently enter the study. His martial arts are so high that he is like a ghost or a god. If he wanted to harm our family, we might have died long ago.”Thinking of this, he immediately sheathed his sword and said,""What do you want? Please speak clearly."
