Super Soldier

Chapter 134 Xiao Bing’s Deadly Counterattack

Yezi said, “Yes, elder brother. Why do you have to do this? Will you really be happy?”

Ye Tianming was somewhat gloomy. No one could tell if he was angry, sad, or regretful. However, he was definitely not happy.

He returned to the chairman’s seat in the conference room slowly. Zhang Zedan was still standing behind him. Zhang Zedan was in the middle clear-strength stage. Lil Bei and Dumbass could defeat him easily. Furthermore, even if there was no master beside Xiao Bing, Zhang Zedan didn’t dare to pick a fight. Regardless of his capability, he would be sentenced to jail if he fought with the police.

Ye Tianming sat there and looked at these people. He snorted and asked, “There’s no point to say further. I just want to ask, do you have any evidence?”

Xiao Bing said calmly, “When I was in the police station, I have already said that Ye Xinyi was probably not the one who drugged the medicine. After the police analyzed the evidence, it proved my point. This means that the bowl of medicine was already drugged before Ye Xinyi headed over.”

Ye Tianming sneered and said, “Hasn’t Liu Piaopiao pleaded guilty?”

“She confessed, but there must be a person, who is controlling her. Otherwise, why would she deliberately approach Uncle Ye and then kill him when she has no grudges against him?”

Ye Tianming said casually, “This is what the police need to investigate. I also want to know the reason. I also hope that the police can do justice to our Ye Family and avenge my father.”

Ye Tianming wasn’t unnerved by the situation. His psychological quality far exceeded that of ordinary people.

Xiao Bing sighed emotionally, “Ye Tianming, you are indeed from the Ye Family. Ye Xinyi is capable, ambitious and scheming, but she is inferior to you. You can deceive smart people like Ye Bancheng, twist ambitious woman like Ye Xinyi around your finger and make Liu Piaopiao be devoted to you unswervingly. I have to say, you are very scheming.”

Ye Tianming didn’t admit or deny. He was waiting for Xiao Bing to continue speaking quietly.

“Justice has long arms. This saying makes a lot of sense. Of course, someone will take the rap for you for the drugging incident. However, you are responsible for sending someone to pretend to be a ghost.”

Ye Tianming said coldly, “I don’t know what you are talking about.”

“OK.”

Xiao Bing looked at Jiang Wanting. Jiang Wanting ordered the police officer beside her and said, “Bring Zhang Li in.”

Ye Tianming raised his eyebrows. He looked gloomy.

Two police officers went out and brought in a handcuffed woman quickly. Her hair was disheveled, but she was rather good-looking. She was a little pale as she was terrified.

Ye Tianming’s facial expression remained unchanged. He said faintly, “Who is she?”

Xiao Bing laughed and said, “Your memory isn’t very good. Let me remind you then. This woman is called Zhang Li. She is from Zhang Jia Village, Longyan County, Jiang City. She and her boyfriend went to work in Jiang City. As they felt that their salaries were too low, they applied for a job, which required them to wail at others’ funeral. When you were attending the funeral of a friend’s family, you unintentionally discovered that this woman was very talented in performing and very open-minded. Hence, you contacted her privately and asked her to pretend to be a female ghost. She would be highly rewarded.”

“Oh, by the way, apart from her good performance, there must be a more important reason why you want to find her. That is because her figure and back resemble that of your dead mother. Being cautious, you would want to silence her after making use of her. You let her go, probably because she resembles your mother. However, you didn’t expect that this woman was a blabbermouth and told everyone that she had just taken on a big job, that is, to put on some clothes casually and wander around the temple. She would then be able to get a large sum of money.”

“I sent someone to investigate this female ghost incident secretly. Just when I heard about this incident, I got someone to capture her secretly. After interrogating for about half an hour, she confessed. You hired her. After the job was done, you told her to keep her mouth shut. However, you were benevolent at that time and there was a loophole.”

Ye Tianming gave the woman a look. The woman shivered. Ye Tianming snorted coldly and said, “I don’t know her at all. Do you mean this woman is pretending to be a ghost to frighten my father? Arrest her then. Why do you want to push the blame to me? This is ridiculous!”

Xiao Bing said, “If you think you can get rid of your suspicion by shifting the responsibility, you must be dreaming. You are a cautious person. You would meet her in a private car every time. After the incident, we entrusted Captain Jiang to retrieve the surveillance video according to the location that she mentioned. Indeed, we found the surveillance video, which recorded her entering your car that day.”

Ye Tianming stopped talking. There is many a slip between the cup and the lip.

Xiao Bing continued, “That’s not all. Apart from the fact that you hired her to frighten Uncle Ye, you also killed Ye Xinyi.”

Ye Tianming snorted coldly and said, “Where is the evidence?”

“Of course I won’t pay lip service. The witness is by your side.”

Ye Tianming flinched. He then appeared shocked and looked back at Zhang Zedan.

Zhang Zedan walked away from Ye Tianming behind and stood behind Xiao Bing. He said, “Young Master Ye, I’m really sorry… I betrayed you.”

Ye Tianming’s heart sank. Zhang Zedan knew too much about him. He had never thought of guarding against Zhang Zedan before as people like Zhang Zedan often worked for money and they would never rely on the help of the police. Who would ever think that Zhang Zedan would betray him?

Ye Tianming looked at Zhang Zedan calmly and said, “Why?”

Zhang Zedan smiled and said, “I have told Young Master before that I am mercenary. If others pay a higher price, I will work for others. It happens that Mr. Xiao has deep pockets and has given me a large sum of money, which is equivalent to working for Young Master Ye for five years…”

Xiao Bing sighed and said, “Tianming, you are overconfident. Do you think you can make everyone around you be loyal to you? Even your trusted aide is mercenary. Recently, I have been asking my brother Lil Bei to investigate the people around you. He handed all their information including Zhang Zedan’s to me. I then found out that Zhang Zedan was a breakthrough and met him privately. Although we have only talked once, we have already reached a consensus.”

“But if you think that Zhang Zedan only cares about his interest, you are also wrong. A person like you, who can be so cruel and kill his sister and father, may kill him one day. Hence, he is a wise man.”

Zhang Zedan sighed and said, “Initially, Mr. Xiao placed a large sum of money in front of me. Although I was tempted, I didn’t intend to betray Young Master. Only after Mr. Xiao said those words, I then compromised. Young master, you are really heartless. I am afraid I will lose my life one day if I continue to follow you.”

Ye Tianming did not get angry, but said calmly, “You are right, so you are a smart person. I never hate smart people. I just blame myself. Brother Bing, I admit that I have always looked down on you. I thought that you are a man who would resolve matters through your fist. I didn’t expect that you have already started to suspect and investigate me. You even bribed my trusted aide. I admit that I have lost.”

Ye Tianming drank a cup of tea and said smilingly, “I won’t hate or feel wronged for losing to my future brother-in-law.”

Yezi said tearfully, “Elder brother, why did you…”

“Do you still remember Swallow?”

“Sister Swallow? I remember her. Sister Swallow was very kind to me.”

“Ye Xinyi sent someone to knock her over with a car.”

Yezi was shocked. She somewhat understood. Her brother didn’t kill her sister because of wealth. It was because… Yezi now realized how dispirited and depressed elder brother was after Sister Swallow had passed away. Even Father’s authority was unable to control and suppress him. He was drunk every day. Finally, Father sent someone to imprison him so to make him reflect…

At that time, elder brother was so sad that he even nearly committed suicide. Then one day he suddenly cheered up and worked harder than ever. At that time, Yezi didn’t feel anything wrong. It was until now when she suddenly realized that elder brother had learned about the truth. The reason why he cheered up was that hatred was his driving factor. He did a great job of hiding his feelings. However, there was only one thing in his mind, revenge!

Yezi asked, “What about Father?”

“Our father?” Ye Tianming sneered and hesitated slightly. He then shook his head and looked at Yezi reluctantly. He said sincerely, “Little sister, I has reached a point of no return. I don’t want to say too much as I don’t want to add to your troubles.”

Yezi shouted, “Say. Why don’t you want to say? Elder brother, I have always thought that you are not that kind of person. You are not that kind of person who will ignore familial ties for the sake of wealth. Since young, you have been treating me so well…”

Yezi started crying.

Ye Tianming chuckled. His eyes reddened, but he said cruelly, “It was all a lie. I was acting.”

Looked at this scene, Xiao Bing felt uncomfortable. Although he had won, this was not what Xiao Bing wanted. Wouldn’t it be great if nothing had happened?

Xiao Bing sighed and said, “Tianming, you are a good-hearted person by nature. In fact, you are quite pitiful. Although you don’t want to say, someone may know the answer. Push Uncle Lei in!”

The door of the conference room creaked open, only to find a man sitting in a wheelchair. He was wrapped in medicinal bandage like a mummy. He was pushed into the room. This person is Ye Family’s best master Bao Lei who had survived the fire. His body was severely burned and he barely survived. Lil Bei’s underlings brought him to the hospital. After being rescued, he told Xiao Bing a big secret. This secret made Xiao Bing’s hatred towards Ye Tianming turn into sympathy.

“There are too many mistakes in this world. I just hope that the world can no longer have such tragedies…” Xiao Bing said this furtively.
