C151 Dont make a choice that you regret (1/2)
It was only when Xi Shangyun went with Xu Shaoting to meet Tu Yizhen that he understood the meaning of his words.
Originally, a beautiful and fashionable girl would be lying lifelessly on the bed. Her entire body was festering and her expression was painful to the extreme.
With just a glance, Xi Shangyun left.
”What's going on?” he asked.
Xu Shaoting shook his head, ”When our people found her, she was like this. She couldn't speak, her mind was muddled, and we couldn't get anything out of her.”
Xi Shangyun asked keenly: ”Was I poisoned?”
”Poison gas.”
Xi Shangyun was slightly startled, and asked after a long while: ”Who could it be?”
He thought about the person who controlled the Big White Egg; maybe, he was the same person! Tu Yizhen, who attacked them with a purpose to infiltrate this place, led them to escape the underground cave.
Xi Shangyun didn't dare to be certain whether he was an enemy or not. After all, the conflicts between the various clans and their members were simply too complicated.
After the Mr. Zong announced the successor, he gave the key that countless people coveted to the grimoire. That girl was lacking in strength. She could be friends with a machine egg, but how could she distinguish between the pros and cons of these relationships?
Therefore, regardless of the intentions of the people around him, Xi Shangyun would never let them off!
At most, he could make an example of them.
Xu Shaoting remained silent at the side for a while, before slowly speaking, ”There's someone inside the Five Elements Elders …”
He did not continue, and Xi Shangyun understood.
Xu Shaoting sighed, ”Living in this kind of family, there are actually a lot of helplessness, it's not something that just anyone can choose.”
Hearing something, Xi Shangyun raised his eyebrows, ”You are also from Zong Family?”
Xu Shaoting smiled lightly, ”Elder Mu is my grandfather.”
”Then why aren't you surnamed Zong?”
Xu Shaoting was a little embarrassed, ”My father is the remnants of the body. Back then, my grandmother was pregnant with my father and married into our family, so I cannot be considered as having a Zong Family and bloodline. However, my grandfather treated me very well.”
It was to the extent that even though Old Man Mu wanted to hand over the entire family to him, he was turned down by Xu Shaoting, regardless of the objections of others. After so many years, he had been peacefully staying by the Mr. Zong man's side, helping him with some legal matters related to Zong Family.
In his current words, he was a spokesperson for the Zong Family to the outside world.
Only now did Xi Shangyun understand. No wonder he understood the people and matters of Zong Family so well, and why the strange and perverted man from Mr. Zong trusted him so much.
To him, Xi Shangyun was going straight to the point, ”I don't care what's going on with your Zong Family, it's fine if you guys think about the records and that girl has the same brain, but that doesn't mean that the people around her are idiots!”
couldn't help but laugh after seeing the arrogance and domineering attitude of the young man in front of him. ”I'm starting to admire Mr. Zong's judgement.”
It was indeed hard for Zhuang Diandian to convince the masses. However, adding Xi Shangyun on top of that, it would be a different story.
Xi Shangyun did not waste any time with him, and said straightforwardly: ”I want a copy of the Five Elements Elders's background, the more detailed the better!”
He wanted to uncover the identity of the person controlling the Big White Egg! Unexpectedly, without his knowledge, he had seen the body of the book!
He would never forgive!
Xu Shaoting nodded, ”No problem.” With that, he glanced back into the house, ”Mr. Zong's meaning is to let this woman stay here for now, I can find some clues from her.”
Xi Shangyun did not even turn his head, ”I'm not interested in the life and death of unrelated people.”
