Chapter 669: Chapter 669: The Real Puppet Master
“Yes, Your Honor!”
The governmental office’s runners acted swiftly. Two buckets of water were splashed onto Old Man Li, who eventually woke up after a bout of coughing, half dead and barely able to move. He truly couldn’t muster the strength to get up.
Previously, he was able to get up, but he pretended to stay down. Now, he wanted to get up, but he no longer had the strength.
Jiang Xiaocai had one of his eyes blasted out by Old Man Li. His face was battered and bloody. Fortunately, the doctors managed to save his life in time, along with Old He’s miraculous medical skills.
At the moment, he was awake and was carried into the inner hall on a stretcher.
As soon as Jiang Xiaocai was carried into the hall, he moved his sole remaining eye, heavily bandaged with gauze, looking around at everyone. When he saw Old Man Li, beaten and bloodied, he first paused, then began to laugh uproariously!
“Excellent! Excellent blow! Old Man Li, you had this coming…haha…”
Jiang Xiaocai was increasingly amused until, much to his dismay, his laughter aggravated his facial injuries, causing him agonizing pain which made him roll around the floor clutching his head.
The clerk standing next to Di Yelei hurried over: “This man has a blood clot in his skull and shouldn’t be moved. Even if we don’t execute him, he only has at most three months to live.”
Di Yelei nodded, thinking about how, despite his many faults as recounted in everyone’s testimony, this man had shielded Di Ying from start to end and had never harmed her.
After some thought, he finally gave up on the idea of executing him.
“Jiang Xiaocai, I’m going to ask you a question now. It’ll be best if you tell the truth, to avoid further suffering. Of course, if you are willing to tell the truth, I will order doctors to treat you again. Got it? How many people were involved in this?”
Jiang Xiaocai clung onto his head for quite a while before finally letting go.
“Your Honor, there were more than twenty people in total. The specific affairs were handled by my big brother. I’m not clear about the details.”
“Where are the others?”
“As my big brother told me, one group was in North City, drawing your attention. While we took Di Ying towards South City, guaranteeing an absolute success.”
“Where exactly in North City?”
“I am not exactly sure, but I’ve heard my big brother speaking about a bay in North City. Apparently, they know your Di family very well. They hate the Di family members indeed.”
“Knows us inside out?” Di Yelei raised an eyebrow in surprise.
Before Jiang Xiaocai could speak, Old Man Li chimed in: “Ahem…Hehehe! Di Yelei, aren’t you curious about who’s acquainted with your Di family so intimately? Let me tell you! It’s someone you’d never even dream of! Haha…”
Di Yelei became serious: “Who exactly is it?”
“Who is it? Hehe… How pitiful! Despite all your merits, Di Yelei, why would your sister and brother-in-law despise you so much, wishing to see you dead? Hahaha…”
“What? Who do you mean?”
Di Yelei could not hold it in, standing up abruptly. He only had one sister!
His rage flared.
“Old Man Li, don’t think you can get away with spewing nonsense. The prison and its 108 types of torture tools are still there, waiting for a live human’s fresh blood!”
“Ha, ha, ha! If you think I’m lying, then just take it as a lie! Hehehe…”
Old Man Li’s sinister laughter lingered in the courtroom.
It also caused Di Yelei’s heart to sink.
The resuscitation continued from the afternoon until the next morning, when Old He instructed Liu Sisi to dress English.
“We have passed the first crucial stage. However, the following three days are still extremely perilous. As long as her spleen stops bleeding, we can consider having snatched her back from the King of Hell’s hands. Otherwise…Sigh! It’s tricky!”
