Nine-Colored Lotus

Chapter 510 What the Kong Family Did, Finding Someone to Take the Blame

Upon hearing this, You Suowei, who had been groggy, instantly perked up. His eyes widened, and he growled, "Don't involve my family, don't touch them!"

Yuan Gang sneered, "Don't involve the family? But are the things you've done humane? Should I tell your wife that her husband is a murderer, that this bombing was orchestrated by your husband, and then, when your son goes to school, people will point fingers at him and say, 'Look, that's the son of a murderer!'? Your wife and son will never be able to hold their heads up in this life. Wherever they go, after their records are pulled, people will point fingers. Moreover, your wife won't be able to get a job at a major company. A background check will reveal, 'Oh, the wife of a murderer,' and they'll assume she has an anti-social personality and can't be hired. In the end, your wife will only end up sweeping streets, and your son will only work odd jobs on construction sites or fall in with petty criminals, spending his days in illegal establishments, either getting killed or, like you, breaking the law and ending up in prison."

You Suowei lowered his head, saying nothing, as Yuan Gang continued to twist the knife.

"The best option for your wife and child is to divorce you. But after divorcing you, you'll be all alone. Either your child will be abandoned and sent to an orphanage, and your wife will remarry, or your wife won't abandon the child and will raise him alone. But later, when people ask your son, 'Where is your father?', how will your son answer? This twisted mentality will cause irreversible inferiority in the child, making your son introverted. In junior high school, your son will be afraid to resist school bullying. It's one thing if they don't dare to resist, but perhaps they will physically assault your son. Then, your son will want to kill them, and eventually, he'll end up just like you."

His head was spinning; he was incapable of independent thought and could only have his psyche systematically dismantled at this moment. The action was merely to ascertain if he was affiliated with the Dark Hall. The facts proved he had ties to the Dark Hall, but likely not deep ones, otherwise, he wouldn't have allowed them to act so quickly. Once action was taken, it would inevitably provoke resistance. The simplest action could clearly distinguish the opponent's origin.

"Stop talking! Stop talking!" You Suowei's psychological defenses crumbled. He clutched his head, shaking it frantically, on the verge of collapse.

Ye Longlin lit a cigarette and watched, saying nothing. At least, for now, the effect seemed to be very good.

"These are the consequences of your own actions. Why are you afraid of others speaking about it? Or do you feel you've gone too far yourself? Speak up, tell me who instructed you to do this, and I guarantee I will make them pay. Furthermore, your cooperation will be considered favorably by the court." Yuan Gang spoke slowly, like a whispering demon, seducing and tempting him fiercely.

"The Kong family. It was the Kong family. Kong Zikang told me to do this. Stop talking, please, please stop talking."

Ye Longlin extinguished his cigarette butt and said calmly, "The Kong family has committed treason."

Yuan Gang paused, instantly understanding Ye Longlin's implication. He nodded and immediately dialed Hei Long's number: "Notify five thousand elite troops to enter the city, surround the Kong family, and apprehend all members of the Kong family!"

"Yes!"

The Kong family was involved in this matter? Ye Longlin hadn't expected a connection. It seemed the Kong family was not as simple as it appeared. Did this imply the Dark Hall was behind the Kong family? Since the Crimson Lotus Demonic Woman was no longer in the country, did it mean there were other Eight Divine Generals in the country? The eight top powerhouses of the Dark Hall roamed various countries year-round. Great Xia was the place they had set foot in the least. Were they preparing to act against Great Xia now? The Dark Hall's ambitions had long been exposed, but regarding Great Xia, they had shown no ambition, except for the Battle of Hetu!

"The Hall of Honor has requested my return for a review. If I bring you back, this return to the capital won't be smooth sailing. The Ye family won't let this opportunity pass either. Be careful when we get back to the capital." On the way to the Kong family, Ye Longlin spoke slowly. Yuan Gang had already notified the relevant parties, and they would all be heading to the Kong family. Due to this incident, the God of War Ranking competition would likely be postponed and held in a specific war zone. This time, it would be impossible to continue. It would resume and be revised after everyone had recovered.

"I know." Yuan Gang drove in silence. This major mistake would undoubtedly implicate his boss. Although his boss hadn't initiated it, Longge had. And his boss was the master of Longge, so he would definitely have to pay a price for this. It was very likely that his boss's position would be lost this time, and he might leave directly because of this incident.

The entry of five thousand soldiers into the city also cast a pall over Jinling. With the bombing incident preceding it, the arrival of five thousand soldiers made many people anxious. However, it was soon discovered that the Zhenwu Division, the local military, and the defense forces were all heading to the Kong family. Various rumors began to spread among the populace. No one knew what was happening, nor why they were going to the Kong family at this time. Some even rumored that the Kong family was the mastermind.

Inside the Kong family at this moment, Kong Zikang's expression was grim. He listened to the reports from his subordinates, his demeanor filled with panic. This time, he was truly afraid. He hadn't expected this matter to cause such a huge uproar, nor had he anticipated that merely two vials of liquid could result in such terrifying consequences! After the specific casualty figures were released, Kong Zikang panicked.

"Why did it turn out this way, Uncle Lie? You have to save me! I really don't know how it became like this!" Kong Zikang grabbed Kong Lie's clothes frantically, his face full of despair. "Now all parties are heading towards our Kong family, and they're clearly here to arrest us. I don't want to die, I don't want to die! Uncle Lie, please save me."

Kong Lie slapped him across the face: "I don't care what you did, but what you did this time was too much. Six thousand nine hundred deaths, are you out of your mind?"

"Six thousand nine hundred people is just the civilian casualties so far. We don't even know the military casualties yet. Are you out of your mind?" Kong Lie wanted to strangle him. The old family head was gone, and before he died, he had instructed them to take good care of Kong Zikang. But what the hell had this ungrateful wretch done now!

"What do we do now? It's already happened." Kong Lie glared at him: "What else can we do? Find someone to take the blame!"
