Chapter 787: We Want Your Life (2/2)

After the coughs finally petered off, he glared at Xinghe's group with his pale face and demanded, ”Why are you doing this to me? I have done nothing wrong by you lot; why are you treating me this way?”

”Indeed, you have done nothing wrong by us, but you have violated the most basic of human decency, we are representing the heavens and have come to give you your due punishment,” Xinghe announced coldly.

Deqing finally understood what was happening. He asked in shock, ”Is this because of the way I manage the orphanage?”

Xinghe smirked. ”Do you really think you have done a good job managing it?”

”Everything I did, it was because Old Master He Lan ordered me to! I am just following his orders! We all work for the He Lan family so do not tell me your hands are squeaky clean,” Deqing countered.

Xinghe nodded. ”Indeed, our hands are dirty from taking care of human rubbish like yourself.”

”Then who gave you people the right to deal with me?” Deqing demanded, ”If you are really that capable then go bring this up with Young Master or the whole He Lan family, I am just a pawn in their scheme, they are real masterminds!”

”That is why He Lan Chang is now a senile old man.”

”What did you say?” Deqing was shocked, he looked at Xinghe with disbelief.

Xinghe stared coldly at him and repeated, ”That is why He Lan Chang is now a senile old man.”

”Old Master, this is your… Is it because of you people that Old Master is in his current state?” Deqing was not dumb, he happened on the truth almost instantly. Xinghe did not admit or deny, but from the way she said those things, it was not far away from the truth. Deqing really did not expect they would have the courage to really go after He Lan Chang.
