"Wait! Do you want to kill me to silence me? Let me tell you, I found an important clue on Master Song's body, a fatal clue that you accidentally left behind when you betrayed Master Song. Once I make it public, your despicable and vile face will be exposed no matter where you hide it! Do you dare to shoot?" Li Yang laughed as he looked at the knife, his eyes fixed on the dark muzzle of the gun in his hand.
"Stop! Knife, don't shoot!" Song Tian'er suddenly regained some feeling, and the uncontrollable emotion in her heart erupted once again. She couldn't stand by and watch them execute Li Yang, and she couldn't stand by and watch the man she loved become the murderer of her father!
She had faith in Li Yang and would absolutely support him in finding the real culprit!
"Tian'er is back! It's dangerous! He's not worth it!" Madam Song's voice was trembling with anxiety, and her large breasts almost flew out and smashed into Li Yang's face.
"Mom. I believe him. I don't believe he's the murderer of Father. He wouldn't betray Father. He can definitely clear his name. We absolutely can't let him die so easily!" Song Tian'er turned back to Madam Song with tears streaming down her face and stubbornly shook her head.
Li Yang breathed a sigh of relief. Damn, he finally managed to ignite Song Tian'er's love and win her over to his territory. With her as his protector, who the hell would dare to lay a knife or a gun on him?
“Miss, if you believe his words, you're doubting me? I've followed Master Song for decades, I've been willing to die for him! I've blocked bullets with a machete countless times. Look, look, look at all the scars and bullet marks on my body, aren't they all for Master Song, aren't they all for the gang?” Knife also played the victim card, pulling open his shirt to reveal his scarred and bullet-marked upper body, speaking to Song Tian'er, Madam Song, and the brothers around him with grief, indignation, and grievance.
Li Yang was starting to admire this kid. If he hadn't interfered, with the kid's methods, abilities, and cunning, he would definitely have been the undisputed successor after Master Song stepped down. Unfortunately, he forgot a saying: "Why did Heaven create both Zhou Yu and Zhuge Liang?"
With Lao Tzu around, you're destined to be second best forever. If you're a dragon, you have to coil up for Lao Tzu; if you're a tiger, you have to lie down for Lao Tzu!
"Hahaha... Knife! Stop wasting your time. The more you do this, the more it shows you're guilty. Let me tell you, Master Song has a throwing knife in his mouth, and it looks exactly like your signature weapon. Others may not know what your throwing knife looks like, but I do."
Tell me, why did Master Song have one of your throwing knives in his mouth when he died? Why? This is to tell us who betrayed him, who the culprit is! Hmph! Knife, you schemed and plotted, but you still fell into Master Song's hands, didn't you?
"Do you dare to open Master Song's mouth now?" Li Yang squinted, staring intently at the knife, his aura growing sharper and more intense with each word.
"What? Such a thing exists?"
"Impossible! Master Song is Master Song!"
"It's very likely that Master Song was assassinated last night, and there wasn't time to do an autopsy!"
"Don't listen to his nonsense. He's just trying to justify himself and saying this on purpose!"
"Yeah, he's talking nonsense! Damn, how did he know there was a knife in Master Song's mouth? He didn't open the crystal coffin. Does he have X-ray vision? Or was it him who put the razor blade in Master Song's mouth?"
The living room immediately descended into chaos, with everyone chattering and shouting like gossipy old women.
Meanwhile, Li Yang, one of the key figures involved, nervously watched the knife, fearing that this kid might have some other damn trump card up his sleeve.
Song Tian'er and Madam Song also stared intently at the knife. They were also surprised and uncertain. After all, when they first saw Li Yang, they looked at him with the kind of delightful gaze a mother-in-law would have when looking at her son-in-law. Suddenly, this happened, and they were caught off guard.
At this moment, Li Yang suddenly made this discovery, and their hearts began to race. They hoped the knife could strengthen their resolve.
"Knife, do you dare to open Master Song's crystal coffin? Master Song definitely has important clues about traitors on his body. With Master Song's shrewdness and wisdom, he will not allow those who betrayed him to run rampant. Just like Zhuge Liang, he still killed many people after his death."
You shameless traitor with a rebellious streak in the back of your head, Master Song will not let you see the sun tomorrow! As the situation became more and more favorable to him, Li Yang's tense heart gradually relaxed, his forehead was burning with excitement, and his blood was surging.
Daozi glanced at Master Song's crystal coffin with surprise and uncertainty. The truth was that after the incident last night, Daozi, the culprit, thought that everything was under his control. Master Song died as planned, so he brought Master Song's body back. Besides, he didn't care about touching anything, otherwise it would definitely arouse suspicion from some people.
Hearing Li Yang say this, he immediately felt guilty. No matter what, he was a watchdog kept by Master Song, and he always held Master Song in awe, just like the island nation and China in the past.
Previously, the island nation was China's servant, a mere watchdog. However, these scoundrels were all born with rebellious bones. Driven by greed, they began to defy their master. The island nation's invasion was nothing more than a desperate and shameless act, and in the end, they were defeated and forced to flee in disgrace.
In reality, deep down they are still very fearful and apprehensive of their master, just like island nations are inherently afraid of China. It is because of this that they have always harbored thoughts of invading China. This is a reaction of the weak and the inferior.
Daozi reacted in the same way. Although Master Song was just a corpse lying there, Daozi was still very nervous after hearing Li Yang's words. He was afraid that Master Song might have left behind some important clues that could kill him!
Cold sweat beaded on Daozi's forehead. Others couldn't see it, but Li Yang saw it clearly. Feeling even more confident, he continued to provoke, "Daozi, you contacted Hei Laizi yesterday at dusk. You took the initiative to contact him and told him about my and Master Song's plan. It was to use the recent incident of drugging and raping girls at Dafa Casino to create public pressure, and then I would contact the police to take care of Dafa Casino together!"
You sold this information to them, and at the same time, collaborated with Black Laizi to prioritize the assassination plot against Master Song! Wasn't that right? The entire operation was planned by you long ago, and Black Laizi only sent two gunmen who killed Master Song in the car!
Chapter 173: Slander
"Yes and no..." Li Yang's shouts grew louder and louder, almost like muffled thunderclaps that exploded in the hall.
Everyone was stunned and somewhat dumbfounded, especially Daozi, who was even more surprised and uneasy, breaking out in a cold sweat. He was panting heavily and dared not utter a word of denial. He was terrified that Li Yang knew everything. What happened that day was extremely secret, known only to him and Hei Laizi.
I would never leak this out, so could it be that Black Lai Zi leaked it? Impossible, I had discussed with him giving him several territories and acknowledging him as the top underworld figure in Jiangdong City.
He shouldn't have betrayed himself! But how did Li Yang know all this?
"Are you confused? Are you panicked? Let me tell you, the net of justice is wide and its meshes are fine, yet nothing escapes it. Heaven is watching what people do! Let me tell you, I know everything about your scheme to betray Master Song with Black Laizi. Master Song has long suspected that you are a traitorous scoundrel who sells his ass, and has been having me secretly monitor you."
"Did you promise Black Laizi that you'd give him several of Master Song's territories? And that you'd acknowledge him as the number one underworld figure in Jiangdong City, replacing Master Song?" Of course, Li Yang was talking nonsense. If he had been monitoring him the whole time, would Old Song still be dead?
Li Yang's words immediately caused a great stir. Everyone knew that Black Laizi had been recruiting soldiers and harboring wolfish ambitions towards Master Song. Li Yang's words immediately connected these things to their suspicions, and they looked at Daozi with suspicion.
Li Yang had already pushed him to the point where he had to make a statement. If he continued to remain silent, it would mean that Li Yang's words had hit the nail on the head and were correct.
The people in the hall couldn't help but whisper among themselves, and their gazes toward the two became complicated and bewildered.
Which of the two is the real traitor? Who is the real culprit behind the murder of Master Song? Damn it, why don't you two just have a duel already!
"Li Yang! You're spouting nonsense! I'll shoot you dead right now!" Daozi had lost his composure, his heart pounding with excitement. He pulled out his gun and pointed it coldly at Li Yang's head.
"Stop! You haven't answered Li Yang's question yet. Are you trying to kill me to silence me?!" Song Tian'er spread her arms to block Li Yang, staring intently at the knife.
"Miss, step aside! Don't believe this scoundrel! He orchestrated all of this! Don't forget, it was he who came to incite Master Song to do those things that day, and that's how Master Song got into trouble."
"I've followed Master Song for over twenty years, serving him faithfully without ever thinking of myself. It's all for Master Song. Don't you believe me? Why do you believe this little brat instead?" Daozi's forehead veins bulged, his eyes reddened, and he stared coldly at Song Tian'er and Li Yang.
"Hahaha... You yourself called me a little kid. How could a little kid possibly be a match for Master Song? How could he possibly command two big shots in the Jiangdong underworld? Don't try to change the subject or shift the focus. You're just afraid to let anyone examine Master Song's body, aren't you? There's deadly evidence of you on it!" Li Yang squinted, staring mockingly at that idiot, Daozi!
Get excited, get excited! Getting excited will make you lose your mind. You've been feeling guilty all along, so hurry up! If you dare to get excited and attack me, you're dead today, and all your schemes will be ruined!
“Yeah, Brother Dao, if you’re upright, you have nothing to fear. Just have someone examine Master Song’s body! Let’s see what that kid has to say. If they don’t find anything, you can just shoot his head off. Who will dare to utter a word then?” A leader in the living room suddenly stepped forward and muttered to Dao.
Daozi stared at him with a cold expression, making the leader feel a chill run down his spine. He thought to himself, "Damn it, what kind of look is that? Are you looking at me like I'm a ghost? I came out to help you, don't take my kindness for granted!"
Many people immediately echoed the leader's suggestion, and everyone was very curious and began to doubt what Li Yang had said.
