Originally, in the absence of any witnesses, and since this place was Fan Zhongliang's territory, they could all have twisted the truth.
But Ning Fan's sudden act of self-defense caught everyone off guard.
With this evidence, who would dare say that Ning Fan attempted to rape Fan Zhongliang's young wife?
It was clearly Fan Zhongliang's young wife who had the ulterior motive, who tried to seduce Ning Fan as soon as she entered the room, and was unsuccessful, being pushed away by Ning Fan immediately.
No matter how one looked at it, Ning Fan was not in the wrong. Instead, it was Fan Zhongliang and his people who harbored ill intentions, scheming to trap Ning Fan and throw him into a pit of immorality.
"Impossible!" Fan Zhongliang's face looked extremely ugly at the moment, his eyes filled with astonishment.
Ning Fan was so astute and even anticipated this, having set up a pinhole camera on his person to record everything.
Now caught off guard, Fan Zhongliang's plot was thoroughly exposed.
"Well played, Fan Zhongliang, it was clearly your young wife trying to seduce Jiu Ye, yet you dared to frame him afterward!"
Hawk's face darkened as he looked at Fan Zhongliang, his fists clenched and crackling.
"What do you mean by this?" Hawk snapped, charging up to Fan Zhongliang, grabbing his collar and confronting him.
Zi Hongyu finally arrived at the scene and, seeing the tense atmosphere, a flicker of curiosity crossed his eyes.
Zi Hongyu stood aside, initially helping nobody, very much a spectator to the unfolding drama.
"Get lost!" Fan Zhongliang pushed Hawk away, his gaze chillingly fixed on Ning Fan.
The atmosphere in the room was extremely tense; Fan Zhongliang's men held their Tang Blades still, waiting for their boss's command.
Suddenly, a small knife slid out from Fan Zhongliang's sleeve. Hawk immediately became alert and instinctively challenged, "Fan Zhongliang, what are you trying to do?!"
"Hmph!" Fan Zhongliang sneered, suddenly pulling over the bride standing next to him.
The bride was stunned, not yet understanding what was happening; she turned her head in confusion to look at Fan Zhongliang, her eyes slowly filling with horror.
"Help!" the bride cried out instinctively.
Fan Zhongliang's expression turned ferocious, and he choked his newlywed wife's neck in front of everyone, slitting the bride's throat.
A long stream of blood spurted from the bride's neck as she stared with bulging eyes, her legs stiffened, wanting to scream but unable to.
Fan Zhongliang released his grip, and as the bride collapsed to the floor, she clasped her neck trying to stanch the flow of blood, but it continued to surge between her fingers.
In the end, the bride's eyes widened in a glare filled with deep resentment as she died. Her lifeless eyes, reflecting the last vision of Fan Zhongliang's figure.
Fan Zhongliang personally murdered his young wife, shocking everyone present; they had not expected him to be so ruthless, even to his own wife.
"Fan Zhongliang, your heart is so vicious, and she was your newlywed wife!"
Hawk was not sympathetic towards the bride, who was not a good person herself and had dared to frame Jiu Ye. He spoke out, outraged not by sympathy, but by the viciousness of Fan Zhongliang.
After all, this woman was Fan Zhongliang's wife, just married today, and yet he was so vicious as to kill her himself.
Of course, neither Hawk nor Ning Fan believed that Fan Zhongliang acted out of remorse. There must be other reasons behind his actions.
"Ning Fan, you've gone too far! You bullied my wife and even killed witnesses on the spot. If I don't avenge this, I am not a man!"
Fan Zhongliang suddenly yelled at Ning Fan, completely tearing their relationship apart.
Although Ning Fan held the recording, if he couldn't get out of this door, who would know?
In this world, the best keepers of secrets are the dead. Today, both Ning Fan and Eagle must die.
"Fan Zhongliang, you!" Eagle yelled furiously, glaring at Fan Zhongliang with murderous intent in his eyes.
Fan Zhongliang licked the blood on his hands, gradually revealing a bloodthirsty smile, "Eagle, don't blame your brother. Next year, I will offer incense for you!"
"Fan Zhongliang, you deserve to die!" Eagle glared intensely, as if he wanted to flay Fan Zhongliang alive.
Ning Fan's expression was indifferent, his hands in his pockets, and he had not spoken. He watched Fan Zhongliang coldly, utterly disappointed in him.
His former top general now faced him sword to sword. Indeed, power is the most poisonous poison, capable of corroding a person's heart into such an ugly form as Fan Zhongliang is a prime example.
Zi Hongyu gulped, watching the cold-faced Ning Fan, and suddenly solidified a certain thought in his mind.
"None of you will leave today. The revenge for a murdered wife cannot share the sky. Ning Fan, you go to your death!"
Fan Zhongliang shouted, and with a swish, countless black-clad experts that he had secretly positioned started emerging from the corners of the dojo, then surrounded the room.
It looked like if Ning Fan didn't carve a bloody path out today, he would likely struggle to escape.
Facing countless experts, it would be a dream for an ordinary person to escape with their life, and it was because of these people that Fan Zhongliang now dared to tear his face off with Ning Fan, looking all confident and self-assured.
"Hahaha, Ning Fan, let's see how you escape today! And you, Eagle, your choice was very wrong, terribly wrong. When you go down there, don't miss me too much. I'll burn money and incense for you every year, hahaha!"
Fan Zhongliang laughed wildly as the black-clad men pointed their Tang Blades uniformly at Ning Fan, a bright cold gleam reflecting off Ning Fan's face in the room.
"Ninth Master, you've gone too far today!"
Zi Hongyu suddenly stood up, his forehead covered in cold sweat as he reproached Ning Fan.
Fan Zhongliang was pleased to see him finally take a stand.
On the other side, Ning Fan showed little reaction, instead, a hint of a smile flashed in his eyes.
Eagle, furious, yelled, "Fan Zhongliang, Zi Hongyu, you two beasts, have you really forgotten the grace of the Ninth Master from before?!"
"Is this what brothers are?!"
In Eagle's voice, there was a deep disappointment.
The former brothers, now seeing two of them, Zi Hongyu and Fan Zhongliang, had utterly betrayed them, how could Eagle not feel despair? Apart from the rising fury in his heart, it was also bleeding.
'Hmm, brothers, Eagle, don't you find it laughable?'"
Fan Zhongliang said with a smile, looking at Eagle with disdain in his eyes.
"What a drama to watch!"
