CHAPTER 869: CHAPTER 869

Upon hearing the investigation results, Xu Qianli wasn’t surprised at all.

With the Mo Family’s status as the top aristocrat in Wangdong Province, they have influence everywhere, making it effortless to investigate certain matters.

Earlier, there was speculation whether it was that bastard Zhu Liang, who had gone insane and made a move on Zhu Yue, intending to kill his own sister to reclaim the family heir’s throne.

Now it seems to be exactly the case; the speculation has been thoroughly confirmed.

Zhu Liang, oh Zhu Liang, this guy is so ruthless that he would even kill his own sister for his interests, truly as vicious as a beast, worse than an animal!

Lan Mengni, that beautiful woman, saw through his nature and divorced him, which was the best decision.

Such a bastard, he doesn’t deserve a peerless beauty like Lan Mengni, he doesn’t deserve it!

As for Zhu Yue, Xu Qianli felt it was better to tell her the truth, regardless of whether she could accept it or not; she must face reality to avoid being plotted against by Zhu Liang in the future and losing her life.

Setting down the phone, Xu Qianli’s gaze fell on Zhu Yue, "I have something to tell you."

"Did your people find out clearly? Was it really my brother who sent the assassin to kill me?"

Zhu Yue asked first.

She almost figured out what was going on but still didn’t want to believe it, holding onto the slimmest chance that it might not have been her elder brother Zhu Liang who acted.

Maybe it was someone else, maybe someone else took action, perhaps a friend or woman of Zhu Liang’s.

Maybe about this, Zhu Liang didn’t know anything at all, and it had nothing to do with him.

Hopefully, hopefully, that’s the case.

Xu Qianli said, "I also don’t want to believe it was him, but unfortunately, the investigation results show it was him without a doubt! He bribed your bodyguards to betray you, the ones who tried to kill you were sent by your elder brother Zhu Liang! For the sake of interests, he wouldn’t hesitate even to kill you, it’s simply inhumane. Such a guy, I absolutely won’t let him off easily, I want him to pay the price for it!"

With a sudden jolt, Zhu Yue’s mind went blank.

Oh my god, it really was her brother Zhu Liang!?

He was her own elder brother, yet for interests, he hired a killer to take her down, how could he do that?

They had been siblings for over twenty years, always got along well; Zhu Yue never thought there would come a day when it would be a life-and-death struggle between them.

Just because she got the position of the family heir, so what, he was her own elder brother, would she really mistreat him in the future?

Even if he wanted the heir position back, he could have talked to her, told her, would she really not agree, would she fight her own brother?

What he did was going too far, actually wanting to kill, disregarding even a trace of familial bond, too ruthless, much too ruthless!

He’s not human, simply not human!

Zhu Yue cried, tears falling uncontrollably as she sobbed loudly.

Her own brother, her own brother for interests, wanted to kill her, how did he manage to do it, how could he be so heartless?

She had long known her brother Zhu Liang wasn’t good folks, in Beijing, he used the family power to act arrogantly, bullied the weak, committed all sorts of evil, even her sister-in-law Lan Mengni couldn’t stand it and divorced him.

Zhu Yue knew about those things too before, yet no matter what she still stood by Zhu Liang, thinking him being a bit reckless as the eldest wasn’t too bad, thinking he’d change in the future.

Never imagined it, he’d actually want to kill even her.

Such a person, it’s not merely about being evil-hearted, but been willing to do anything for interests.

For interests, he would even kill his own sister, if anything was a hindrance to him, he’d kill his own parents without hesitation.

Such a person, Zhu Yue was utterly disillusioned with him and would not show mercy!

However, she couldn’t bring herself to act against her sibling, couldn’t harden her heart, she could only look at Xu Qianli with tearful eyes, "Xu Qianli, my man, you are my man, what should I do?"

Xu Qianli said, "Since you’re with me, become my woman, your matters are mine to handle. I’ll take care of this. As for what I do, how I deal with him, it’s best you don’t ask. The only thing you need to do is forget you ever had a brother, forget him!"

Zhu Yue fell silent.

Though Xu Qianli didn’t say it explicitly, she heard clearly that Xu Qianli intended to get rid of Zhu Liang, thoroughly eliminating him.

If Xu Qianli wanted to do it, he might actually be able to.

In other words, as long as she nods, Zhu Liang would vanish from the face of the earth.

Is this really okay?

After all, that guy is her brother.

Just thinking about Zhu Liang disappearing made Zhu Yue feel a bit unwilling, "How about we just teach him a lesson, let him suffer a bit and be scared, so he doesn’t dare anymore."

Xu Qianli said, "Don’t be naive! Human nature, once tainted, won’t change for the better. Do you think someone who can kill his own sister for interests would truly reform? If we don’t deal with him now, once he has a chance, he’d surely become even more reckless. Next time it’ll be harder to defend against him. By then, it’ll not just be you; even your parents could be killed by him. Of course, if you’re willing to risk facing such a situation and prefer to give him a chance, pretend I said nothing."

Zhu Yue fell silent; though unwilling to believe, she understood Xu Qianli spoke the truth.

Big brother Zhu Liang dared to kill even her; he could do anything.

That guy has lost all humanity, purely a beast ready to do anything for interests.

If he had another chance, he’d surely be even more ruthless, just as Xu Qianli said.

No, she mustn’t let that happen, her life must not be put at risk.

Fine, since big brother you’re so ruthless, don’t blame me, Zhu Yue, for being merciless!

Gritting her teeth, Zhu Yue finally made up her mind, "Fine, I’ll follow your lead. From today onwards, I’ll forget there was ever such a person in this world!"

Ma Xiaoyan said, "Zhu Yue, you did the right thing, that’s how it should be. Come on, stop thinking about those who make you sad, talk about something cheerful when you have time. What are we doing later, should we just go to Cailin County for some fun, the scenery there is lovely, much more fun than here in Rainbow County."

Ma Xiaoyan chatted with Zhu Yue, diverting her focus elsewhere.

Xu Qianli stood up and left, moving aside to make a phone call, reaching out to Old Lady Bai, asking her to help handle Zhu Liang’s matter.

Since that guy dared to harm Zhu Yue, he definitely wouldn’t be spared, he must be dealt with!
