CHAPTER 436: CHAPTER 429: THE WHOLE TRUTH REVEALED

The man’s kung fu was strong, and he realized something was wrong. He didn’t want to engage in a prolonged fight, feinting a few moves before attempting to escape. However, Shangguan was relentless and wouldn’t let him get away, pressing forward step by step, striking at vital points.

Yang Shu and Zhang Jie also ran out, making it three against one. Even with the man’s impressive skills, he was soon subdued.

The man appeared to be around forty years old, with an ordinary face, just another average person. But his agile movements suggested a military background.

Jin Yan and Sisi came out too. Jin Yan’s face was filled with horror, as if he had seen a ghost, while the middle-aged man also looked startled upon seeing Jin Yan, his eyes filled with despair.

"Jin Yan, do you recognize this man?" Sisi asked.

Jin Yan nodded with difficulty, his voice hoarse as he asked, "Uncle Jing, why would you harm my friend?"

Uncle Jing avoided Jin Yan’s gaze, pondering for a while before saying, "That person doesn’t deserve to be your friend. I took care of him for you."

"What do you mean ’doesn’t deserve to be my friend’? Does the Jin family have some noble status? Three generations ago, the Jins were just farmers in the countryside."

Jin Yan suddenly flew into a rage, rushing up to Uncle Jing and shaking his shoulders violently, seemingly desperate for an explanation.

"You think it’s okay to kill just because you dislike someone? Do you think you’re God? That’s a human life! Uncle Jing, why have you become like this? You used to teach me to cherish life, so why have you turned into a demon?"

Jin Yan screamed in agony, unable to believe that dear Uncle Jing would kill his good friend. Remembering Mo Liu covered in blood the previous night, he felt as if his heart had been hollowed out—it was all his fault.

"Ah Liu, it’s all because of me! It’s all my fault!"

Jin Yan cried, banging his head against the ground. Only like this could he mitigate the pain in his heart.

"It is indeed because of you that Ah Liu is harmed, but you’re only indirectly responsible. The real murderer is someone else," Sisi said coldly.

"Who? Isn’t it Uncle Jing?" Jin Yan asked.

"Only you would believe his nonsense! Do you think he killed Ah Liu just because Ah Liu didn’t deserve to be your friend?" Sisi scoffed.

"That person truly doesn’t deserve to be Ah Yan’s friend. I simply disliked him," Uncle Jing suddenly shouted out, his voice filled with panic.

"Uncle Jing, you are working for Miss Jin Wen, aren’t you?" Sisi asked softly.

Uncle Jing’s face went pale but quickly returned to normal, shaking his head in denial, "How could that be? What does Ah Wen have to do with this?"

Jin Yan also felt puzzled, "Sisi, why would you say it’s Ah Wen? How could she possibly kill Ah Liu? She doesn’t even know him!"

"Why not? Li Li, Wang Ping, Liu Dandan, Huo Feiyan, Zhang Jiajia... these people also didn’t know Jin Wen, did they? And yet they all ended up dead."

With every name Sisi mentioned, Uncle Jing’s face turned a shade paler, while Jin Yan grew more confused, the names sounding eerily familiar.

Seeing Jin Yan’s expression, Sisi scoffed, "These girls died because of you, Jin Yan, yet you, Sixth Young Master Jin, couldn’t even remember them. What a pity!"

"Don’t talk nonsense, they all died of illnesses, it has nothing to do with Ah Yan." Uncle Jing roared.

"Li Li, Jiajia, Dandan, why do these names sound so familiar? What happened to them?" Jin Yan’s expression was somewhat bewildered as he muttered.

"Of course they all died, just like Ah Liu, they were murdered, killed by your dear sister Jin Wen."

Sisi blurted out all at once, although these people were not killed by Jin Yan, they all died because they knew him.

Although Jin Yan did not kill these people, they died because of him, a responsibility he could not escape.

"You’re spouting nonsense, you little bitch, I’ll kill you!" Uncle Jing, looking crazed, jumped up wanting to hit Sisi, but Yang Shu just kicked him down to the ground.

Yet, Jin Yan seemed startled; he remembered, these girls were his classmates from high school and university, they were all close to him, but these female classmates ended up having accidents one after the other—some transferred schools, some fell ill, some had car accidents. At one point, he even doubted whether he was a star of calamity, otherwise why would all the friends close to him suffer mishaps?

But Sisi said they all died, and moreover, they were killed by Ah Wen, how could this be possible? Why would Ah Wen want to kill them?

Jin Yan actually had an answer in his heart, but he didn’t want to think about it, nor did he want to confirm it, he just wanted to find a place to hide. As long as today passed, this nightmare would be over, and everything would be as before.

"This isn’t true, it must be a dream, I just need to sleep and it’ll all be fine."

Jin Yan murmured to himself, and while speaking, headed towards the door, walking like a zombie.

Sisi watched in frustration. What was this? Escaping when faced with problems? She hadn’t expected Jin Yan to be so spineless. If those dead girls knew the man they liked was such a coward, they would probably jump out from the ground.

"Jin Yan, are you only capable of escaping from reality? Unfortunately, reality always exists, and won’t disappear just because you avoid it."

Jin Yan’s lips quivered, he stopped for a moment and then continued walking forward. Sisi had no intention of letting him off, and continued saying, "I advise you not to make friends in the future, whoever you befriend, you are harming them. You better just stay at home safely with Miss Jin, and keep a close watch on her to prevent her from running around harming people like a mad dog."

"Please stop talking, stop talking," Uncle Jing begged pitifully.

On the ground, Li Heizi and the others all looked down terrified, cursing themselves for why they didn’t faint? Why did they have to hear these family secrets? Could they even survive now?

"No, I don’t believe it, you are lying to me, this has nothing to do with Ah Wen, it was all Uncle Jing’s doing, all his doing!" Jin Yan shouted madly, his expression ferocious.

"Jin Yan, stop pretending to be a fool, don’t you know your own sister is a pervert? I’m telling you, the matter with Ah Liu isn’t over yet, you better have Jin Wen stay at home peacefully, don’t think about hiding elsewhere, she can’t escape."

Sisi finished speaking and ignored Jin Yan, she had already called Mr. Yun last night, Luo Datou should be arriving soon.

Before long, Luo Datou’s loud voice could be heard, "Gao Zijing, you mutt, finally fallen into my hands, damn bear, you could have been a decent person, but you chose to be a dog for the Jins."

Seeing Luo Datou, Uncle Jing’s face turned ashen, knowing things could not end well now, he simply closed his eyes tightly, letting Luo Datou curse.

"Uncle, what should we do with these people?"

"Mr. has spoken, bring them all back to discuss further." Luo Datou grinned widely, looking pleased with himself.
