After Uncle Jie finished speaking, he didn't care about the reactions of others and took out the voice recorder to play it.
"Hiss... When the banquet starts, I'll take you in, and then... hiss... Remember, you only have this one chance for revenge!"
The dialogue wasn't clear. It was probably due to Uncle Jie kicking the voice recorder into his pocket, creating static noise from friction. However, this didn't stop everyone from discerning Shi Lifeng's voice.
Instantly, all the Shi family members' faces turned grim. Especially Shi Lifeng, who involuntarily turned pale and took a small step back. She never imagined that Uncle Jie would expose her so easily!
"Fake, this is fake!" Shi Lifeng denied with a cry. She knew she absolutely couldn't admit the authenticity of the recording, otherwise, she would really be dragged down by Uncle Jie today! While the Shi family wanted to deal with the Jie family, it was on the premise that the Shi family had the upper hand. If the Shi family lost their moral standing, how many people would stand with them if a war broke out with the Jie family? Therefore, Shi Lifeng clearly understood that if the recording was confirmed, the Shi family would definitely sacrifice one to save another!
Seeing Shi Lifeng about to lose control, the Shi family head couldn't help but worry secretly and immediately tugged on Shi Lifeng's arm. He looked up at Old Master Jie and said, "Old Master, my Lifeng married out long ago, and there's no enmity between her and the Jie family." "Aren't Uncle Jie's words a bit too far-fetched?" Logically speaking, someone like Shi Zhenxiang had enmity with the Jie family, which is why he poisoned Old Master Jie. What reason could Shi Lifeng possibly have? As an married-out daughter, there was no reason at all! Old Master Jie didn't even know of Shi Lifeng's existence before this.
Hearing the Shi family head's words, Old Master Jie sneered and retorted, "Are you implying someone is lying?" People can lie, but a voice recorder cannot! The Shi family head's face changed and changed, like a palette. After a long while, the Shi family head managed to utter a sentence, "Perhaps there's some misunderstanding. After all, recordings can be faked, having someone with a similar voice say these words..."
Before the Shi family head's words even fell, Zhou Yu stepped forward. Zhou Yu looked him up and down with a playful gaze, then leaned forward with a smile, closing the distance between himself and the Shi family head. He then spoke, "Shi Family Head, could this misunderstanding be a bit too big?" "To be honest, I really don't know the name Shi Lifeng." Before the Shi family head could breathe a sigh of relief, Zhou Yu's next words made everyone's expression change drastically! "However, the title Madam Zhang, I am all too familiar with!" After speaking, Zhou Yu turned to Shi Lifeng, "Who says there's no enmity?" "If I'm not mistaken, Madam Zhang wants to avenge Zhang Deshuang and his son, right?"
Shi Lifeng took a step back, her heart pounding like a drum, but she had to maintain a calm demeanor. She met Zhou Yu's gaze and said, "Divine Doctor Zhou, although you are a guest of the Jie family, these words are truly slanderous!" Zhou Yu smiled and directly presented a document. This was the result of the investigation Zhou Yu had asked Old Master Jie to conduct earlier. Just as Zhou Yu had suspected, Shi Lifeng was Zhang Shaohua's mother and the matriarch of the Zhang family! It's just that now, both the current head of the Zhang family, Zhang Deshuang, and his heir, Zhang Shaohua, have been arrested by the Dragon Group. The entire Zhang family is in chaos. Once a top-tier family in Yunhai City, they have now declined. It was only natural for Madam Zhang to come to Jiangnan City seeking assistance!
"She really is from the Zhang family, my goodness." "I heard the Zhang family dared to cooperate with the Shadow Organization, tsk tsk, Madam Zhang has quite a nerve to still appear in public!" "Bah, a rat from the sewer. Earlier, I actually thought Uncle Jie was slandering them." "To be fair, even though Uncle Jie is not a good person, he only harms the Jie family and wouldn't go out of his way to offend innocent people."
Hearing the discussions of the crowd, Shi Lifeng's mind exploded, and she flinched, constantly backing away in fear. She looked at Zhou Yu as if he were a monster, completely unable to comprehend how Zhou Yu had investigated her!
"Shi Family Head, the evidence is now conclusive. Uncle Jie's poisoning was instigated by your Shi family's Shi Lifeng." "Can you hand her over now?" Zhou Yu asked the Shi family head with a non-committal smile, as if inquiring about the weather! The Shi family head's expression turned somewhat grim. Now that it was established that Shi Lifeng had sent Uncle Jie to the banquet and given him the poison, the evidence was undeniable! The Jie family would certainly not let this go. If the Shi family refused to hand over Shi Lifeng, the two families would officially clash! Although the Shi family had a stronger foundation than the Jie family, in this matter, the Shi family was on the losing side morally. Shi Lifeng had poisoned so many people, and those families would definitely not take it lightly and would help the Jie family. At that time, the outcome would be uncertain.
But if they really handed over Shi Lifeng, what would happen to the Shi family's prestige? What about the Shi family head's dignity! The Shi family head was already engaged in an internal struggle. To hand her over or not? Shi Lifeng's face was pale, and she was extremely nervous. She couldn't help but tug at the Shi family head's sleeve, with a pleading look. Caught red-handed poisoning, it was obvious what fate awaited her if she was handed over to the Jie family! The revenge for the Zhang family had not yet been achieved, and Zhang Deshuang and Zhang Shaohua had not yet been rescued. Shi Lifeng was unwilling to perish like this!
Meeting Shi Lifeng's gaze, the Shi family head's heart wavered. In the end, he sighed, pulled Shi Lifeng behind him, and then said sternly to Old Master Jie, "No matter what you say, this evidence is not conclusive enough!" "Lifeng is a member of the Shi family, and even if she has done something, it is up to us, the Shi family, to deal with it, not others!" This statement clearly showed an intention to shield Shi Lifeng, betting that the Jie family would not dare to completely fall out with them in public! Old Master Jie had never heard such a shameless statement. For a moment, he was so angry that he burst out laughing!
"Good, good!" Old Master Jie suddenly slammed his hand on the table, and the teapot and cups shattered on the floor. "What a deep sibling bond!" "Since the Shi family wants to protect a criminal, then don't blame us, the Jie family, for seeking justice through our own means!" After speaking, Old Master Jie made a gesture of farewell. At this moment, the Shi family knew that staying there would not change the outcome. They exchanged glances and then turned to leave one after another. The Shi family head even pulled Shi Lifeng into the car.
