Chapter 219: Heading Toward
“Is it you?”
“Why? Why did you do this? Do you even know what you’re doing!”
He smashed the thick stack of information in his hand straight down onto the person below. The anger in Wei Kun’s heart rushed straight to the top of his head, making his vision go black again and again.
This was the son he was so proud of, the eldest son he had placed all his hopes in, to whom he would entrust the entire family after his own death!
As his father, what had he ever done wrong to him?
Back then, braving the pressure from Ke Family and ignoring all opposing voices, he had brought him home at all costs, all for the hope that he could have a proper and upright identity?
No longer bearing the titles of illegitimate child, bastard, or mongrel, living without seeing the light of day.
After all these years of his careful nurturing, this was the ungrateful wretch worse than a pig or dog that he had cultivated?!
He fiercely clutched his chest. Wei Kun’s lips turned a purplish black, and the fingertip pointing at him trembled violently.
“My dear father, you must hold on and take good care of your health. After all, the good show I want you to see has only just begun.”
Wei Junhao spoke unhurriedly, a smile on his lips but his eyes full of cold sharpness. He slapped away the hand pointing at him, then casually walked past him to the grand master’s chair at the head position and sat down.
“I, I’ll beat you to death, you beast.”
Before the furious Wei Kun could draw the leather belt from his waist as usual, Wei Junhao sneered, pulling out even faster the short whip two fingers wide that he had tucked behind his waist, performing the action he had already imagined countless times.
His smile twisted as he raised the whip in his hand high and lashed down fiercely at Wei Kun.
“Pa——”
Hearing the explosive crack enter his ears, he suddenly felt an indescribable pleasure.
“No wonder you like it, Dad. So this sound is so wonderful and pleasing.”
“Beast!”
With a muffled grunt, the struck spot twitched reflexively from the pain. Wei Kun glared furiously at his eldest son who had truly struck him, finally realizing in a daze.
So everything written in those documents was true, leaving him no room for even the slightest doubt.
After all, at his age he was no match for the strong and robust Wei Junhao in his prime. Wei Kun chose not to confront him directly but endured the pain and quickly opened the drawer beside him, grasping the pistol inside.
The black muzzle of the pistol was aimed unhesitatingly at his forehead.
Wei Junhao ignored the gun above his head. Instead, the faint chill in his eyes gradually turned to unconcealed mockery.
His other hand, which had at some point reached into his trouser leg pocket, was pulled out, releasing one by one objects gleaming with the unique luster of metal.
Pa ji——
They fell one after another onto the desk’s cutting board with crisp sounds.
Wei Kun instinctively pulled the trigger of the pistol, and as expected, it produced several empty clicks. He laughed in extreme anger and said, “I almost forgot.”
In front of him was his always valued eldest son, not that clueless little son. He had never hidden anything in this study room…
The cold laugh in his eyes had not yet fully spread when this realization made Wei Kun’s heart jolt fiercely, his pupils contracting sharply.
“Dad, you’ve really gotten old. It took you so long to think of the key point. But no matter, tomorrow morning you’ll see it with your own eyes.”
“You! Pfft——”
Unable to hold back any longer, Wei Kun spat out a mouthful of blood stasis and collapsed straight down with a thud.
“Heh~”
The floor behind him was no match for the chill of this cold laugh. Wei Kun convulsed twice and completely passed out, plunging into endless darkness.
“Ah!”
A sharp scream broke the deathly silence in the study room. Ke Lan, who had just visited her son and hadn’t even wiped the tears from her face, barged straight into the study room headlong.
She had come with the resolve that even if beaten to death by her husband, she would beg him to save her son. But the scene that met her eyes upon bursting through the room door made her instantly shudder with terror.
“Old Wei! Old Wei, what’s wrong with you?!”
The old bastard couldn’t afford to have an accident now. If something happened at this critical moment, what would happen to her Jie’er?
Ke Lan threw away the pearl handbag in her hand, rushed quickly to his side and knelt down, crying sincerely, “Wah wah, Old Wei, don’t scare me!”
She hugged his head and shook it vigorously, completely failing to notice that because of her actions, the white foam mixed with blood from his mouth flowed even more freely.
Wei Junhao, who had witnessed the whole thing, watched idly with a smile but had no intention of kindly reminding her.
“You bastard, what are you so happy about? Your dad’s almost gone, why aren’t you helping send him to the hospital!”
“Auntie, are you talking to me?”
“You…”
When Wei Junhao was little and powerless to fight back, she had no scruples and could do whatever she wanted.
But ever since he grew up, Ke Lan had been afraid of him from the bottom of her heart.
Especially after personally witnessing what he did to Jie’er, her fear of Wei Junhao reached its peak.
She could only hide secretly in the corner, clamping her hands tightly over her mouth. She didn’t dare even make a sound, let alone go out to save her son.
Just now, in a moment of urgency, the insulting words had slipped out. Until his retort, the memories imprinted in Ke Lan’s mind immediately resurfaced, scaring her whole body into trembling.
Now with her son gone, her husband unconscious and on the brink of death, if he wanted to do something to her…
“S-sorry… Junhao, I, I was just worried about your dad…”
Ge ge, ge de~
She stammered the words, her mouth full of the tiny clacking sounds of her upper and lower teeth colliding.
Wei Junhao narrowed his eyes, watching her retreat repeatedly with dodging eyes—his nominal mother—and thoughtfully tapped the desk.
He had never gotten around to dealing with this most useless woman in the family, thinking it wouldn’t take much effort to leave her for last.
So the question was, why was she showing such a strong stress reaction toward him?
Could it be?
Heh~
Unable to hold back, he let out another cold laugh. Wei Junhao really wanted to let his dear good little brother know.
The one person in the whole family he thought was the only one good to him…
Wei Junhao stood up and walked to her in a few steps, squatting down to seize her chin. Without questioning, he stated affirmatively, “You saw everything.”
“I… I don’t know what you’re talking about! Let go of me!”
He had thought this woman was vicious and ruthless but brainless, yet still a qualified mother to her son.
Now, though, nothing more than that.
He let go of her hand in disgust and took out a handkerchief to wipe it.
Having already gotten the answer in his heart, Wei Junhao ignored her words and instead stood up to look down condescendingly at the old thing on the floor.
He couldn’t let this person die so easily and simply yet. Otherwise, the grand play he had arranged afterward would be missing an important audience, wouldn’t it?
Wei Kun, sent to the hospital overnight, survived but suffered a stroke and partial paralysis. He couldn’t scold anymore when he opened his mouth, only drooling all over his face.
Listening to the bombshell after bombshell from the nurse specially hired by his eldest son, he spat blood repeatedly, his condition worsening rapidly.
……
Over the next few days, Gu City experienced a massive shock. The gossip-loving masses were busy to the extreme, overwhelmed by one earth-shattering scandal after another.
First, the daughter of Yin Family was beaten to death alive by her husband, resulting in one corpse and two lives.
Before this wave had passed and people could even sigh for Yin Family,
It was followed by the exposure of Yin Family smuggling and selling cultural relics. Irrefutable evidence of both selling and bribery was laid directly on the inspection office’s desk like a gift from heaven.
Due to the enormous amount, not only was their home ransacked with all property confiscated and they were sent down, but the leader Yin Sheng took all the blame for his two sons and was sentenced to execution.
This scandal wasn’t even fully digested when the ugly deeds of Wei Family, their in-laws, fully erupted.
Public opinion was boiling over. Wei Junjie, the wife-killing, child-killing murderer already known to the entire city’s people, was unexpectedly sentenced to death.
Right after, Wei Kun, the city’s second-in-command who had nearly died from a cerebral infarction after being angered by his son, was exposed for corruption and bribery, buying officials, secretly cultivating dark forces, hiring killers to murder, and more—utterly shocking.
Before Police Officer could even come to the door, Ke Lan, driven insane by long-term violent beatings, directly stabbed her husband dozens of times, causing him to die violently on the sickbed.
Each and every one of these incidents, taken alone, wasn’t a major event?
And they all piled up together just like that!
Those who knew some inside stories couldn’t help but be stunned. The developments were simply too unexpected.
As for Wei Junhao, who had secretly orchestrated most of these events, he vanished completely without a trace.
Even stranger, whether it was Wei Junjie who was executed, or the corpses of Wei Kun who died violently and the insane Ke Lan, they all disappeared right along with him.
