Chapter 138 - Betrayal

Who was the murderer? It looked like Zhang Qishan was trying to pin Zhang Qiming's death onto his head. However, Wan Xiong found it strange. Who exactly was the mastermind behind this? How could he make money by plotting for them to start a war?

”Brother Qishan, don't worry. Your matters are my matters. I will definitely help you investigate.” As for the culprit, no matter who he is, I do not care who he is, as long as he does not follow the rules of the martial arts world and secretly wants to frame, if he wants to stir up chaos, I, Wan Xiong, will not let him off easily! ” Wan Xiong's voice was like a dragon bell, his tall and st.u.r.dy body was filled with hostility, and his eyes s.h.i.+ned with a bright light.

Zhang Qishan slightly lowered his voice, ”Of course. Although I, Zhang Qishan, haven't asked about the affairs of the martial arts world for a long time, it doesn't mean that anyone can p.o.o.p and p.i.s.s on my head. As long as I find the culprit, no matter who he is, I will make him pay with his blood!”

”Is this the gift you prepared for me?” Lin Zhaoyang glanced at the gloomy-looking Xu Yongniang beside him and asked with a chuckle.

Xu Yongnian gritted his teeth, his face filled with unwillingness: ”How is that possible? Zhang Qiming had died in the hospital. Whether it was in terms of face or relations.h.i.+p, Zhang Qishan should not be so calm. Was he r.e.t.a.r.ded? You can't even tell something so obvious? ”

”Yongnian, you are wrong.” Lin Zhaoyang shook his head, ”It is precisely because Zhang Qishan is not stupid that he is so calm. It was impossible for Wan Taisui, who had been enduring for almost ten years, to say that he didn't want to take down Zhang Qishan. But if you were to say that he wanted to deliberately start a dispute and kill Zhang Qiming, I think that Zhang Qishan would rather believe that there's a mastermind behind this. As you know, they are equally strong, and both sides have been wounded since the beginning of the battle. If we could see them clearly, naturally, Zhang Qishan and Wan Xiong would see as well. ”

Xu Yongniang hesitated for a second and said, ”But the one who died was his foster son after all. I don't believe that Zhang Qishan doesn't want revenge.”

”Of course he wants to take revenge.” It was impossible for Wan Xiong and Zhang Qishan to act as if nothing had really happened between them. Zhang Qishan would definitely retaliate and ask Wan Xiong to give him an explanation. However, an all-out war was out of the question. Neither of them wanted to see a life and death battle unfolding, nor would they let it happen so easily. Zhang Qiming is the foster son of Zhang Qishan, and indeed, he has an important role to play in the Zhang Family. However, he definitely hasn't reached the point where Zhang Qishan can go all out to seek revenge. ”

Lin Zhaoyang paused and looked at Xu Yongniang, ”People who achieve great things do not care about small matters. Whether it is Wan Xiong or Zhang Qishan, from ancient times until now, kings and tyrants are the most ruthless people. In a necessary moment, these people could even abandon their own flesh and blood, let alone a mere foster son. Do you think that Wan Xiong was making things difficult for You Yun because he wanted to take revenge for Li Junxiong and his son? I'm sure that he already knows who the real murderer is, and he definitely isn't someone from Quiet Cloud.

It was just an excuse to make things difficult for You Yun. He wanted to use the rules and morality of the martial arts world to pressure her. Wan Xiong was like this, Zhang Qishan was the same. ”They have been famous figures in the martial arts world for a long time. Those who are in a position of power must consider the overall situation. They absolutely cannot be impulsive.”

”You're saying that I let someone kill Zhang Qiming. Not only did I fail to achieve my goal, I even exposed my intentions?” Xu Yongnian clenched his fists tightly, his eyes filled with rage.

Lin Zhaoyang chuckled, ”That's about right. However, you don't have to worry too much. This move is not enough to let the mission that was a.s.signed to us fall through. Furthermore, it is not completely useless to instigate a relations.h.i.+p between the two of them. The two of them had been harboring evil intentions to begin with, and after this incident, their strings had probably already tensed up. What they lacked now was only a chess piece to push around. Don't worry, I will help you to resolve this matter.
