“Ahhhhh…!”
When they heard the shrill scream, the hearts of those people who had only just stopped for a breath skipped a beat again. They looked around quickly and asked: “What happened? Did something happen again?”
“This way, it’s coming from this side.”
Someone shouted, and everyone turned towards the direction of the cry. However, when they arrived, they saw a maid had fallen on the ground and her body was trembling as she looked up with horror in her eyes.
Everyone was startled and followed her gaze. When they saw the scene, everyone gasped.
They saw four corpses hanging upside down from a tree. Those four dead people were wearing night clothes, and they were the four people who had followed the Sun family Old Predecessor to the Eastern District City Lord Manor that night! “Psst!”
“This, this…”
“They’re here… they’re here…’
Everyone was dazed by the sight before their eyes, especially as those four people had followed their Old Predecessor to the Eastern District City Lord Manor that night. When they saw this scene, the shock they felt inside reached their heads and an overwhelming fear filled their hearts, making them feel confused, frightened and horrified.
The people who were only next to them a moment earlier were killed in a blink of an eye and hung upside down from a tree. The four corpses dressed in black hanging upside down looked like bats in the night. Their faces were pale and their eyes were wide open as if they had seen something horrifying. That image was deeply imprinted in their minds and they were unable to stop thinking about it, making them fearful.
“They’re here… they’re here… who will be next? Who will be next?”
One of the Sun family members who was wearing night clothes trembled and retreated, his expression dazed and his face was pale as paper. It was as if he had lost his mind as he held his head in his hands and murmured in shock.
“Boom!”
Another member of the Sun family who was also wearing night clothes was unable to bear the impact it had on his soul. His whole body shook, his vision went dark and he fainted from fright and fell heavily to the ground.
The other two people were trembling and were unable to speak for a while. Under their sleeves, their hands were trembling and their legs felt weak while their lips turned white. They held on tight to each other as they looked at their Old Predecessor beside them with a hint of hatred in their eyes.
“Old Predecessor! Now that such a thing has happened, tell us! What are you going to do about it? Four more people are dead, four more people are dead! How many more people in our Sun family have to die like that?”
They spoke bitterly, their fear turned into anger. If they were hesitant and worried about kidnapping Qi Kang earlier, at this moment, their hesitation and worry had turned into hatred and anger. They felt that it was their Old Predecessor who had put them in this position.
Had they killed Sun Wei to vent their opponent’s anger and appease them, maybe these things wouldn’t have happened!
At this moment, the Sun family Old Predecessor’s face was solemn and his heart was heavy. For the first time, there was fear in his heart and wavering doubt.
Had he made a mistake?
It was because of this that he was speechless when he was questioned angrily by those two men. This was a situation that he hadn’t expected. He thought that by capturing Qi Kang, he could find out the origin and weaknesses of the other party. He thought that the other party would be wary after they had captured Qi Kang. But he never expected that it would make things worse and cause the situation to get out of hand..
