Super War God in the City

Chapter 238 Condolences

Aunt Wang shivered again as she heard the words.

"What nonsense are you talking about, who’s acting guilty?!" Aunt Wang’s face turned pale, her voice trembling slightly.

Even Li Shishi and Shangguan Yue noticed her abnormality, but Li Shishi didn’t think too deeply about it, probably shaken by the confrontation with Ge Chengye just moments before.

As for Shangguan Yue, all sorts of suspicions arose in her heart, and perhaps Ling Fan could provide her with the answer she wanted to know!

"Aunt Wang, when I arrived just now, I heard you on the phone with Ge Chengye, reporting Mingyue’s return. I wonder what else went on between you two? I’m a curious person, could you enlighten me?" Ling Fan sat leisurely on the sofa and spoke indifferently.

Hearing this, Li Shishi’s face was immediately full of astonishment, not expecting such a thing at all.

Shangguan Yue also looked distressed, no wonder Ge Chengye had shown up right after her own return, it turned out there was a mole!

"Could it be that my mother’s strange illness, her poisoning, was really..." Shangguan Yue couldn’t believe it as she turned her gaze toward Aunt Wang.

"You actually betrayed our mother and daughter?" Shangguan Yue pointed at Aunt Wang, unable to restrain from questioning her.

Aunt Wang’s face turned instantly white, "Miss, don’t listen to his nonsense. I didn’t betray you. Besides, he was with you all this time, when did he hear me make a phone call!"

Aunt Wang defended herself through clenched teeth. She didn’t know how Ling Fan found out, but was certain that there was no one around when she made the call, she had watched very carefully!

"Yes, Ling Fan was with them the whole time, why didn’t they hear it? Could it be that Ling Fan is just bluffing?" Shangguan Yue and Li Shishi thought so in their hearts.

Ling Fan raised an eyebrow and glanced at Aunt Wang, "My abilities are beyond your imagination. Just now, Ge Chengye transferred money to your bank account, shall we check your bank statements?

Moreover, I don’t have the time to beat around the bush. Tell me, for what purpose did Ge Chengye ask you to keep an eye on Shangguan Yue and inform him? Don’t doubt my methods, killing you is nothing more than crushing an ant to me!"

Aunt Wang trembled inwardly, breaking into a cold sweat instantly. How could this man know even about the transfer of money?

She didn’t know how Ling Fan had discovered this, but the eerie feeling he gave her was truly frightening, especially his threats, which she had no doubt were aimed at her.

After much deliberation, she couldn’t resist the pressure anymore and began to confess to Shangguan Yue.

"Miss, I’ll tell you the whole truth. Yes, Ge Chengye instructed me to notify him once you returned. I knew you didn’t like him, so at first, I ignored him.

But then he threatened me. You know how wealthy and powerful the Ge Family is; I didn’t dare to offend him. Besides, he didn’t mean any harm, he was just pursuing you.

So, I reported your whereabouts to him. He would transfer a bit of money to me each time, that’s all there was to it, I swear I didn’t do anything else!" Aunt Wang explained with an innocent face.

She didn’t conceal much, carefully choosing her words to give a nearly accurate account. She felt that even if she disclosed this matter, it wouldn’t be grave enough to warrant a death sentence.

Hearing this, Shangguan Yue felt angry and displeased but indeed could understand Aunt Wang’s predicament. If Ge Chengye had threatened her, she truly had no power to refuse. She should have thought of this possibility earlier. Your journey continues at Freewebnovel

As long as the poisoning of her mother had nothing to do with her, it was important for Shangguan Yue that Aunt Wang had not committed an unforgivable mistake. After so many years together, a deep bond had formed, after all.

Aunt Wang also breathed a sigh of relief internally, thankful that the eerie man didn’t know how, but only knew about this matter. She didn’t believe he could be omniscient and know everything.

Ling Fan watched Aunt Wang’s expressions, estimating that although her account had some deviations, there likely wasn’t a significant discrepancy, so there was no need to fixate on that.

However, as thoughts flashed through his mind, Ling Fan suddenly said with a smirk, "It seems like you’ve only mentioned part one, not part two. Didn’t Prince Tang Tiancheng from Huayi send anyone to look for you?"

Ling Fan, while speaking, concentrated his Divine Sense to observe Aunt Wang’s emotional fluctuations.

Aunt Wang’s recently calmed heart seemed like a boulder had rolled down, violently smashing up a wave, startling her so much that she broke out in a cold sweat all over.

She looked at Ling Fan with a face full of panic, wondering how this guy could be so spooky. Could he really tell the future?

Seeing her reaction, Ling Fan knew everything, he had just been bluffing her.

This kind of person who could betray once could do it a second time; someone who could commit one act of self-interest at another’s expense could commit others, and through the information he had previously gathered from the conversation on the plane with Shangguan Yue, he naturally connected many dots.

So, he had just bluffed her, and surprisingly, his bluff had worked.

Realizing her own lapse, Aunt Wang quickly tried to refute with a trembling voice, "What are you talking about? I don’t understand you, don’t falsely accuse me with lies!"

"Miss, don’t listen to his nonsense!" Aunt Wang looked again at Shangguan Yue.

By now, even Li Shishi could see something was wrong. She had witnessed Aunt Wang’s emotional shift and didn’t believe Shangguan Yue could have missed it.

Initially, Shangguan Yue’s face was full of shock due to Ling Fan’s words, but after catching Aunt Wang’s emotional fluctuations, her heart suddenly grew cold. Could it be that Ling Fan was right?

By this time, she had already started to trust Ling Fan unconditionally, even though she didn’t know how he came to learn these secrets, she was sure he must have discovered something!

"Aunt Wang, you have made me very sad and even more disappointed!" Shangguan Yue said, her voice heavy and her face extremely pale.

Aunt Wang’s face turned ashen, "Miss..."

"Smack!"

All of a sudden, Ling Fan conjured Duansuan and slammed it onto the table, barking angrily, "Spit it out if you have something to say, let it out if you have something else, I don’t have time to dawdle with you. Confess honestly, and you might still hope for Mingyue’s forgiveness. Otherwise, I’ll make sure your blood is spilt right here!"

Aunt Wang’s body shivered, and she fell to the ground with a ’thump’, her face as white as paper.

"Miss, I..."

...

A private club in Danyang.

"Third Master, Third Master, something’s happened!" A man burst into the private room in a fluster.

"God damn it, what’s got you so rattled? Don’t you know how to knock? Is there no decorum left?" a young man snarled, his face dark with anger.

He was fondling a scantily clad beauty by his side and was displeased at being interrupted, reluctantly removing his hands.

"Third Master, there’s trouble. I just saw Black Tiger carrying Second Master back home. It looks like he’s injured, and it seems like one of Black Tiger’s arms is useless too!" the man who had rushed in reported urgently, wiping the cold sweat from his forehead.

He knew how annoyed Third Master got when disturbed during his pleasures, but this seemed like news that would please him, and he dared not keep it to himself.

"Hmm?" The young man was initially shocked at the news, then immediately overjoyed.

"Are you telling the truth?"

"I wouldn’t dare joke about such matters with you, sir, not a single false word!" the man hastily nodded in response.

"Hahaha, it’s like heaven is on my side. I thought I was the only unlucky one, never expected Ge Chengye would have his day too. Damn, I’ve got to pay him a sympathetic visit!" The young man laughed heartily as he looked up to the sky.
