221: Chapter 221 The Truth Revealed

The villagers were whispering among themselves, saying all sorts of things.

But one thing was certain: their attitude toward Han Jingyang had changed drastically.

They weren't stupid.

It wasn't worth offending someone like Han Jingyang, a capable expert with genuine skills, for the sake of the Three Liu Brothers.

Even if they didn't need to ask Han Jingyang for help, they still had to consider the possibility of his retaliation.

Only those relatives who relied on Liu Qing to make money were still hesitating.

They were hesitating over whether to interrupt Han Jingyang's "spellcasting."

But upon hearing the second question, they immediately abandoned that thought.

Han Jingyang's second question went straight to the point: "How did Zhang Peilan die?"

"She fell to her death."

"How did she fall to her death?"

"I pushed her onto the stairs and then pushed her down, causing her to fall to her death."

"What time?"

"Ten-forty in the evening."

"How did Liu Jingyun die?"

"He is faking his death."

"Who made him enter the state of suspended animation?"

"Mr. Tian."

"Who is Mr. Tian?"

"Tian Chunming, he is a famous and extremely powerful expert in metaphysics."

"Why make Liu Jingyun fake his death?"

"A living person is needed to suppress the feng shui formation eye to achieve the goal of raising a dragon."

"Where is Tian Chunming?"

"Tian Chunming went to intercept and kill Han Jingyang, and he hasn't returned yet."

"How much money did you spend to have Tian Chunming kill Han Jingyang?"

"Ten million."

"How much money have you given Tian Chunming in total?"

"One hundred eighty-six million."

"What is the use of the feng shui formation Tian Chunming set up for you?"

"To absorb the family's entire fortune to supplement my branch, allowing me, my son, and my daughter to advance further."

"..."

The questions became sharper one after another.

The answers became more shocking one after another.

By now, not to mention the villagers, even the relatives who relied on Liu Qing to make money were terrified.

"Is this even human?"

"A beast."

"I was truly blind before, thinking this family was decent."

"I never expected this, they are a nest of animals!"

"How could Liu Qing do such a thing? Isn't he afraid of retribution?"

"Murdering his own mother, burying his own father alive—is this something a human would do? Even beasts wouldn't do such things!"

"How shameful, what a disgrace to Xiaohe Village!"

"Damn you, Liu Qing, my old aunt died so unjustly!"

"Isn't Old Man Liu even more wronged? He was almost buried alive by his own son. If Old Man Liu wakes up, I wonder how he'll feel."

"The Three Liu Brothers truly deserve to die!"

"They should be buried alive; otherwise, the Liu family won't be able to hold their heads up for centuries to come. Such unconscionable acts were rare even in the feudal era, let alone now."

"If you ask me, we should just kick them out of Xiaohe Village to avoid shaming the village."

"Exactly, Xiaohe Village has no room for such scum!"

"..."

At this point, no one mentioned calling the police anymore.

Everyone was filled with righteous indignation, denouncing the Three Liu Brothers.

Some of the more emotional ones wished they could tear the three brothers apart.

Liu Qing's relatives also stopped talking.

What was there to say?

Even if they were reluctant to lose their cash cow, Liu Qing, they had to cut ties, because what the Three Liu Brothers had done was simply too heartless.

For people like this, even being carved up for three days and three nights wouldn't be excessive.

Han Jingyang asked a few more questions, including some about Tian Chunming.

After getting satisfactory answers, Han Jingyang put away the bell and quietly lifted the "Mind-Bending" effect.

Liu Qing shook his head, recalling everything that had just happened. His face changed drastically, and he pointed at Han Jingyang in shock and fear: "You, you, you..."

Han Jingyang swept a cold glance at Liu Qing: "You had better pray that Xiao Yun is fine, otherwise you should just die immediately; that would be less painful."

Having said that, he glanced at the village chief: "You are the village chief, so handle the matters here."

He then pointed to Liu Jingyun lying on the ground: "Old Man Liu, stop pretending. I know you woke up a long time ago. How does it feel to hear your son recount such a human tragedy with your own ears? Heh heh heh, success comes from feng shui, and failure comes from feng shui—you don't even understand this simple logic? You just watched your precious son walk down the path of evil step by step? If you ask me, you deserve it."

Only then did the crowd realize that Liu Jingyun, who had been massaged by Xu Xin, had actually woken up. The funeral makeup on his face was a mess from his tears. Clearly, he had been awake for a while, and his mind was quite clear—he knew to pretend to be dead, yet he also knew how to feel sad and shed tears.

Village Chief Liu Zhilin hurriedly helped Liu Jingyun up: "Uncle, are you okay? Do you need to go to the hospital?"

Liu Jingyun wiped his tears, took off his burial clothes, and said in a hoarse voice: "Zhilin, I have to trouble you to take charge of the situation today and send your aunt off peacefully."

The village chief nodded quickly.

As Liu Jingyun spoke, he looked at his third son, who was covered in blood, and then at his eldest and second sons hiding in the room. He suddenly sighed: "All the faults, all the mistakes are mine. Let me bear these mistakes alone."

As soon as he finished speaking, he slammed his head against the corner of the coffin.

Everyone was shocked.

Xu Xin was quick-witted and grabbed Liu Jingyun.

Han Jingyang said coldly: "Even if you want to die, don't do it now. If you die now, how will others clean up the mess for you? People won't know any better and will think I forced you to your death."

After saying that, he said to the village chief: "Write all these things down and make it clear. There will definitely be an investigation later from the relevant departments. Don't think about trying to fool them; they won't tolerate any deceit."

The village chief asked hurriedly: "What about you all?"

"We are going to save someone. There is another girl who was abducted by the master your family has been worshipping for years." Han Jingyang stopped there and suddenly said to Liu Jingyun: "By the way, let me remind you one more thing: the feng shui formation Tian Chunming set up in your house actually has another name—the 'Dove Occupying the Magpie's Nest' formation. Nominally, it belongs to your family, but in reality, all the gathered feng shui earth qi was taken away by him using secret methods. The benefits you received were just an insignificant fraction."

Liu Jingyun's face changed again: "Dove Occupying the Magpie's Nest?"

"Yes."

"Will there be any bad effects?"

"Of course, and they are significant," Han Jingyang sneered. "All the benefits were harvested by Tian Chunming, and you bore all the consequences. If it weren't for me, your family's fate would have been miserable—hundreds of times worse than it is now."

Liu Jingyun thanked him hurriedly: "Thank you, Mr. Han..."

Han Jingyang snorted: "You really should thank me. Before I arrived, I was intercepted by Tian Chunming. I paid a great price to cut off his two arms, yet I didn't pursue him immediately. Instead, I came here to save you, afraid that you would suffocate in the coffin, hmph."

At this moment, Liu Qing looked up in shock and regret: "You, you cut off Tian Chunming's two arms?"

Han Jingyang sneered: "Do you want to inspect the goods?"

"No, no, I, I was deceived by him. He called just now and said he didn't intercept you..."

"What else did he say?"

"He also said that if I transferred money to him, he would come back to help me, uh, deal with you..."

"Heh, he didn't even forget to harvest money while running for his life," Han Jingyang pointed at Liu Jingyun: "Don't touch the feng shui formation Tian Chunming left behind yet. Wait for me to come back and dismantle it. Of course, if you aren't afraid of the backlash, go ahead and mess with it; I don't care."

After saying that, he nodded at Xu Xin: "Let's go, time to save someone!"
