Chapter 962 The Way to Deal with Shen Rongyin
Ever since Shen Rongyin made a move against his family, besides feeling alarmed and furious, Wei Xiao had been thinking about how to immediately deal with that scourge. Yan Yan’s words were exactly what he wanted to hear, but how was he to deal with Shen Rongyin, who was beyond his authority?
This woman had already stayed hidden for so long and was so cunning; would she reveal her true colors?
It would have been fine if she were anyone else, but she just happened to be Commissar Shen’s daughter. Wei Xiao couldn’t get her convicted just by saying that she had a “ghost thing.” However, the thought of this strange woman staying in the military district and even living next to his house chilled him to the bone.
Qi Zhenbai and Chi Shuyan both knew what Father Wei was worried about. Qi Zhenbai spoke first. “I can take care of this!”
Chi Shuyan interrupted Qi Zhenbai and directly objected. “You can’t!”
After all, this man had already retired; it wouldn’t be appropriate for him to suddenly interfere willy-nilly in the politics of the military district. It wasn’t good to sully the reputation and prestige of the Qi family, the old general, and himself.
She brought up the matter of the flowerbed in the Shen residence and said to Father Wei, “Uncle Wei, I know what you’re worried about. Why don’t you come clean with Commander Lu first? If Commander Lu doesn’t believe it, just tell him about the bones buried in the flowerbed in the Shen residence. Also, I suspect that the black magic practitioner is in the Shen residence. It’s just that he would have already turned into a puddle of blood!”
Otherwise, there would be another witness.
Wei Xiao, on the other hand, heaved a huge sigh of relief at Yan Yan’s last sentence. Shen Rongyin, that strange woman, was bad enough. It would be worse if there was another evil practitioner in the equation. Fortunately, that Warlock was dead.
SO
Wei Xiao had a vague feeling that Yan Yan had
thing to do with the death of the black art practitioner. After he asked a few questions, Chi Shuyan gave a rough account of how she had dealt with Azancheng.
When Wei Xiao heard Yan Yan say that she had seen that black magic practitioner’s head fly out of the military district to suck blood in the middle of the night, he was terrified. If he ran into the head in the middle of the night, he would be scared to death.
Wei Ting and Wei Man were shocked and horrified by their father and Shuyan’s words. They had yet to digest the earlier bombshell about Shen Rongyin, and hearing about the black magic practitioner now, their faces turned pale. Wei Ting was still alright, but Wei Man trembled all over as he slumped against his brother.
Chi Shuyan took in Third Brother Wei’s shivers and exaggerated fright, and couldn’t help but want to laugh for a moment. On second thought, if she were an ordinary person, she would probably be scared out of her wits too at hearing such a strange thing. Chi Shuyan hence stopped laughing inwardly at Third Brother Wei.
Father Wei’s attention was all on this matter, so he didn’t notice his sons’ pale faces. What he wanted to do the most at that moment was to resolve the matter of Shen Rongyin immediately. Hearing Yan Yan’s words, Father Wei also felt that this was a good idea. He nodded and said, “Indeed, we should let Commander Lu know. This matter is too serious!”
He was worried that Commissar Shen would dismiss everything out of hand and thwart them in order to protect that daughter who couldn’t be considered human.
“By the way, Uncle Wei, there’s one more thing. It was probably Shen Rongyin who killed Chen Jing. I’m afraid that Chen Jing was unlucky enough to have seen something she shouldn’t have, so the other party silenced her. It’s just that I don’t have any evidence yet. We can only force Shen Rongyin to reveal her true colors. If the Shen family is still protecting Shen Rongyin when the time comes, you can bring up Chen Jing. No matter what, I’ll find a way to make that Shen person reveal her true colors as soon as possible!”
Father Wei heaved a sigh of relief.
Before Chi Shuyan left, she took out a lot of talismans and handed them to Uncle Wei. These were mid-grade Exorcism Talismans, and she gave each member of the Wei family a few, including Mother Wei.
With these talismans, they no longer had to worry about Mother Wei’s safety. Chi Shuyan was now certain that Aunt Chang had most likely been pushed from the third floor by Shen Rongyin.
It had been clear from the guilty look on the woman’s face earlier. For fear of being exposed, Shen Rongyin would probably come to the hospital more often in the next few days. Whether Mother Wei really lost her memory or was faking it, she probably wouldn’t let her off.
Chi Shuyan didn’t directly tell the Wei father and sons about this before she left, but she told them to be wary of Shen Rongyin. For now, they should claim that Mother Wei had lost her memory whenever Shen Rongyin came to the hospital. Whether or not this would be of any use, Chi Shuyan hoped that Mother Wei would be able to escape this calamity.
The Wei father and sons naturally took Yan Yan’s instructions to heart.
Chi Shuyan nodded. “Uncle Wei, Brother Wei, Third Brother Wei, as long as you carry my talismans on you, it should be fine. Don’t worry.”
Father Wei wanted to look after Mother Wei, so he had Wei Man and Wei Ting personally see Chi Shuyan off. Chi Shuyan said that Father Wei didn’t have to be so polite.
Wei Ting and Wei Man insisted, however, so Chi Shuyan didn’t refuse.
Outside the hospital, Wei Ting and Wei Man both wanted to say something, but paused. Compared with the more taciturn Wei Ting, however, Wei Man said whatever he wanted. He looked at Chi Shuyan and blurted out with an alarmed expression, “Yan Yan, do you think… that there really are ghosts in this world?”
Chi Shuyan saw Big Brother Wei look over, and couldn’t help but laugh. “Third Brother, didn’t you already ask me this question before?”
Wei Man wanted to say that back then, he had been scared at first, but didn’t think much of it and then forgot. Now that the matter of Shen Rongyin not being human came up again, he was really scared.
Without waiting for Chi Shuyan to speak, Wei Man suddenly grabbed her wrist. A sharp gaze from the side scared him so much that he immediately let go. Looking at the cold-faced Chief Qi out of the corner of his eye, his heart jumped.
W
Qi Zhenbai suddenly grabbed the same hand and didn’t let go. Wrapping his big hand around his wife’s small hand, his expression was still calm when he looked at the Wei brothers, but Wei Man could see the warning in his eyes. Wei Man’s face was pale. Seeing that the possessive Chief Qi in front of him wasn’t angry, his face improved slightly after a while. He stuttered, “Yan Yan, I… Was I the one who caused my mother harm? Was I Shen Rongyin’s target all this time?”
