Chapter 952: Chapter 283: Devil Creatures at the Banquet (Part 6)
He didn’t want Mo Yunchen’s Vital Qi; he wanted his body. Entering that man’s body might mean he wouldn’t have to keep absorbing others’ Vital Qi to enhance his own abilities; he could act recklessly.
Zhou Yi felt excited at the thought, slightly pondering the man’s identity, and smirked coldly.
No matter how powerful, must he not admit defeat in his hands?
Moreover, most importantly, this man turned out to be married to Madam Mo, Qin Qin. Wonderful!
"Ah, there’s a dead person, a dead person!"
A panicked man rushed in, followed by another man, both of them with alarmed faces, running into the hall and yelling loudly.
President Leng, Madam Leng, and Leng Yan’s expressions changed, and they quickly stepped forward to hold the two panicked men, "President Fu, don’t be anxious, talk slowly about what’s going on."
President Fu and the man beside him looked afraid. They originally planned to discuss some matters in the rear garden but unexpectedly stumbled upon the corpse of a young woman. They couldn’t see clearly who it was due to panic and ran in.
"Dead person, in the rear garden there’s a dead person! It’s a young lady."
President Fu and the other man were clearly terrified, speaking in trembling voices as they pointed toward the rear garden.
Old Master Leng and President Leng’s expressions turned grim.
President Lin and Madam Lin, hearing it was a young lady, urgently searched around but couldn’t find any sign of their daughter, a sense of foreboding welling up in their hearts.
"Yanyan, where’s my daughter Yanyan?"
Madam Lin suddenly cried out, everyone turned to look.
The Leng family was already heading outside. Today was Old Lady Leng’s birthday, and such an incident had occurred.
Madam Lin and President Lin hurried outside; they had to check if it was their daughter.
Everyone headed to the rear garden, with Leng Yan leading the way in the direction pointed out by President Fu.
Only a few steps away, he already saw the young woman collapsed on the ground, her complexion gray and her pupils widened in regret and unwillingness.
Leng Yan squatted down, checked for breathing, and his face turned grim—she was dead, beyond saving.
Leng Yan shook his head at Old Master Leng and President Leng, causing the onlookers to gasp in astonishment. Who had such audacity to commit murder in the Leng family mansion?
"How does she look like Miss Lin?"
Someone in the crowd voiced, and immediately President Lin and Madam Lin shouted, rushing in from the crowd, disregarding their usual demeanor, crouching on the ground, embracing the lifeless Lin Yan, crying loudly, "Yanyan, wake up, Yanyan, it’s Mom, wake up."
President Lin stood up angrily, glaring at the crowd, wanting to find out who killed his daughter.
"President Lin, rest assured, my Leng family will give you an explanation for this matter."
Old Master Leng stepped forward and promised solemnly, and upon hearing this, President Lin could only nod with a somber face.
"Madam Mo, where is Madam Mo, she must have a way to save my daughter, please help me find Madam Mo."
Madam Lin, holding her daughter Lin Yan’s corpse, shouted at the crowd.
The crowd looked around and saw Mo Cang but did not see Mo Yunchen and Qin Qin.
"Madam Mo, Madam Mo isn’t here!"
In Madam Lin’s heartbroken state, Qin Qin and Mo Yunchen came over from the side.
A sharp-eyed young noblewoman saw Qin Qin and quickly told Madam Lin, "President Lin and Madam Lin, Madam Mo is here."
President Lin, excitedly crossing the crowd, "Madam Mo, please, save my daughter."
Qin Qin looked over at the silent Lin Yan lying nearby, and Madam Lin wailed as she pleaded to Qin Qin, "Madam Mo, please, save my daughter."
Qin Qin glanced at Lin Yan in Madam Lin’s arms, her face devoid of any sign of life, gray and surrounded by faint Demonic Qi and a deathly aura.
"Madam Lin, I’m deeply sorry!"
She had once advised the Lin family regarding Lin Yan, but unfortunately, Lin Yan didn’t listen, leading to this outcome.
Madam Lin and President Lin were thunderstruck; President Lin couldn’t remain stable on his feet, collapsing to the ground like Madam Lin, crying.
"Madam Mo, your medical skills are so superior, you can surely save my daughter, please take a look."
President Lin pleaded again, still holding onto a glimmer of hope, trying to reach for Qin Qin’s hand.
Mo Yunchen blocked Qin Qin, and President Lin dared not make further moves, only standing a few steps away, pleading with Qin Qin.
"President Lin, your daughter is already dead."
Qin Qin’s voice sounded calmly, and President Lin and Madam Lin’s faces turned pale, on the verge of madness. Even if Qin Qin’s medical skills were superb, the daughter had already died; how could she possibly be saved?
"Yanyan, who was cruel enough to kill you, Mom will definitely find the murderer."
Madam Lin held her daughter Lin Yan and cried painfully; her only daughter had been murdered, and she would certainly not let go of the person who harmed her daughter.
"I... I think I saw Zhou Yi together with Lin Yan."
A young noblewoman whispered. She had just come out from the hall and saw Lin Yan pulling Zhou Yi along towards here. She glanced over at the time, initially intending to greet them but considering they were a betrothed couple spending time together, she didn’t approach.
"What did you say? Who was my daughter with?"
President Lin stepped forward to ask the young noblewoman speaking, and President Leng restrained the agitated President Lin, calming him down.
"It’s... it’s Lin Yan’s fiancé, Zhou Yi."
President Lin’s face turned angry, "Zhou Yi, Zhou Yi, how could it be Zhou Yi!"
He never thought it would be Zhou Yi, couldn’t imagine it would be Zhou Yi whom his daughter loved?
Madam Lin, still embracing Lin Yan’s corpse, raised her head to glance at Qin Qin standing nearby, suddenly recalling a sentence she once said. She advised Lin Yan to stay away from Zhou Yi; they had tried persuasion once, but when the daughter didn’t listen, they didn’t persist. But now...
"Yanyan, why didn’t you listen to your parents, why didn’t you listen!"
Madam Lin regretted deeply. She should have listened to what Madam Mo had said back then, finding any way to separate Zhou Yi and Lin Yan, preventing them from being together, that way Zhou Yi wouldn’t have harmed her daughter.
President Lin also remembered the words Qin Qin had said before, closing his eyes in regret and pain.
"Where is Zhou Yi, where did Zhou Yi go?"
President Lin roared, looking around; he needed to find Zhou Yi, needed Zhou Yi to accompany his deceased daughter.
Old Master Leng hurriedly instructed Leng Yan to send people to find Zhou Yi’s whereabouts.
"Found him, Zhou Yi... Zhou Yi..."
A servant rushed forward, looking slightly odd.
President Lin, upon hearing Zhou Yi was found, grabbed the servant’s clothes, "Where is he? Hurry and arrest him."
"No... no need to arrest."
The servant shook his head, his expression strange, hesitating to speak.
"Why?"
Leng Yueyou, standing aside, asked with a puzzled frown.
The servant looked at all the confused people, then said, "We found Zhou Yi, but he’s already dead."
"What?"
President Lin’s previously angry heart instantly sank.
Old Master Leng and President Leng and others were incredulous; he had just been said to be the murderer, but now the murderer was dead.
Leng Yan led the servant to guide them toward Zhou Yi’s direction.
In front of the villa, behind a large tree by the flowerbed, Zhou Yi rested lifelessly against the tree, eyes shut tightly, his body cold.
"How did this happen? How did this happen?"
Everyone was puzzled; how could the murderer Zhou Yi suddenly die, without any wounds on his body, dying so inexplicably.
President Lin and Madam Lin cried out in disbelief upon seeing Zhou Yi dead under the tree.
Subsequently, the police intervened to investigate, but the cause of death for Zhou Yi and Lin Yan remained a mystery, and no explanation could be found for how Zhou Yi and Lin Yan died.
