"Father, the Huiling Sword was stolen by someone sent by Lin Yue’er, this matter must be made clear by her," Long Yubei added.
"Lin Yue’er, where have you hidden the Huiling Sword?"
"I really have no idea what the Huiling Sword is, don’t pour all your dirty water on me, I’m innocent."
"It was you who sent a nurse to steal the Huiling Sword from the hospital, and that nurse has already confessed to you."
"You can set up anyone to slander me, what can I do? I definitely didn’t do this, after all, evidence speaks."
"Lin Yue’er, if you confess now where the Huiling Sword is, I will not pursue this, but if it turns out to be your doing after further investigation, I will impose a severe punishment."
How could Lin Yue’er tell them, "Netherworld King, Long Chan despises me, anything lost is blamed on me, we must speak with evidence, just like the Half Moon Enchantment incident, there was video surveillance and possession of the Half Moon Enchantment, I couldn’t refute, but with the Huiling Sword, there’s no evidence to say I took it, isn’t that inappropriate?"
The Three Divine Mothers agreed with their daughter, "Exactly, Netherworld King, if there’s evidence, we would have nothing to say about you imposing a heavy punishment, but now there isn’t any evidence, is there? Merely relying on the Seventh Prince’s word is not sufficient to prove the fact."
The Netherworld King and Long Yubei exchanged glances, "Bring Lin Yue’er down for severe punishment."
Lin Yue’er was dragged away to be punished, Su Changzhi understood his father’s actions, but he felt that the deceptions he had suffered were more significant than these.
"I’ve lost the marriage I wanted, my lover, my happiness, is that less important than these?"
"Would killing her restore everything back to the original state?" The Netherworld King, on the contrary, thought this to be the best of both worlds, "In other words, killing her is an instant act, wouldn’t making her live in agony also punish her?"
Su Changzhi laughed, a laugh full of desolation, "Really?"
He turned and left, the Netherworld King looked at Long Yubei, "If it were you, how would you handle it?"
"I would chop her into mincemeat and feed her to dogs."
"It seems you are still young," said the Netherworld King, "When in this position, one must consider the bigger picture."
"Father has had so many wives, and treats them all the same, without a most-beloved woman, how can you understand the feelings between Changzhi and me?" Long Yubei said, then took his leave, "I am going back."
Back in Qin Garden, Gu Lili was nowhere to be found. Nᴇw novel chapters are publɪshed on N0v3l.Fiɾe.net
So, he asked Tang Qingli, "Has the Young Madam not returned?"
Long Yubei frowned, "Check the car’s GPS."
Tang Qingli quickly checked the car’s GPS location and discovered that the tracker could not pick up any signal.
Long Yubei sensed something wrong and rushed to check the highway monitoring camera.
However, the monitoring was damaged, he saw the boulders that had rolled down and the broken highway edge guardrails, and as he flew down from the high point, he saw Gu Lili’s car that he had left for her.
The lights shone on the car, and logically speaking, falling from a high place, it should not have remained so intact unless someone had stopped the plummeting car.
His gaze fell to the ground, and Long Yubei’s temples throbbed, he pulled open the car door which was not closed, and there was blood everywhere inside the car, Gu Lili’s cell phone was still on the seat.
Long Yubei reached out and took it, his heart cut like a knife, she had met with an accident.
At the moment, it was unclear whether her body was dead and her soul was being controlled, or if her body was alive but under control.
Long Yubei observed the surroundings, confirming that this place was within the Demon World’s territory.
