Chapter 363: One hundred and sixty-two. Turning against the enemy

Views:

Seeing that she was determined to make a desperate move, Song Heng smiled and said, "Don't worry, old lady, it's not that serious." After that, he looked at Master Su San again, and after a moment of silence, he said to Master Su San, "Master San, please excuse me for a moment."

Master Su San was a little surprised.

In fact, he was still a little afraid of Song Heng. After all, Song Heng had a bad reputation. Plus, Song Heng's ferocious look when he faced Lord Wei just now was really intimidating.

But there was nothing he could do now. He followed Song Heng for a few steps until they reached the bushes under the corridor. Just as he was thinking about what Song Heng was going to do, he heard Song Heng say, "Does Master Su San feel regretful?"

Master Su San suddenly raised his head and looked at Song Heng, his eyes flickering as if he wanted to say something but stopped.

Song Heng smiled faintly and said, "Master Su San agreed to play this scene and let Su An die. Do you regret it?"

After a moment of silence, Master Su San gritted his teeth and shook his head: "If we don't let that beast die, everyone in the whole family will die. There is nothing to regret."

What he said was true. He had seen Lord Wei's posture clearly just now.

If Su Mingqing's plan had been implemented, the person being dragged away like a dead chicken by the Jinyiwei would have been replaced by himself and the rest of the Su family.

People always love themselves the most.

Song Heng clapped his hands, and when Master Su San looked up, he said, "Then Master Su San, please remember this in the future. Su An and Su Mingqing did not die at the hands of anyone in the Su family. They died in their own greed. It's just that they were not as skilled as others, and it was no one's fault."

... ...

A gust of wind blew by, and Master Su San looked up at Song Heng. His mind was filled with a thousand thoughts. He finally understood what Song Heng meant. Song Heng was repeatedly warning him not to blame anyone for Su An's death.

But who could he blame

Thinking of this, he looked at Su Yao, and suddenly he understood.

Before he could react, Song Heng had already strode up the stairs and walked towards Su Yao and Old Lady Su.

Standing in front of Su Yao, Song Heng paused for a moment and said, "I have something else to do. I'll leave first."

Su Yao saw Master Su San looking at him in astonishment. He felt a little strange, but nodded slightly.

Old Madam Su held Su Yao's hand and looked at Song Heng's back for a long time before she said softly, "Xu Rui..."

Will it go smoothly

If he fails to catch him red-handed, Xu Rui can still escape with the help of the Xu family's connections and Prince Zhuang.

But how could they be willing to let this poisonous snake go

Su Yao curled the corners of his mouth and patted Old Lady Su's hand to comfort her: "Don't worry, grandma, those who drown will always know how to swim, and he will take the bait."

The night was deep, but the alleys near the Wong Tai Sin Temple had just begun to become lively. Many doors that were closed during the day were now moving. Xu Rui's face was hidden in the darkness, and his tone was cold: "Are you sure? The person is in here?"

Following him out was Pan Cheng, an old subordinate of Xu Yonghong. He was usually a difficult person to invite. When he heard Xu Rui speak, he cupped his hands and said, "Your Highness, we followed him all the way. There's no doubt about it. After he came out of the Yongding Marquis's mansion where the incident happened, we followed him all the way here."

Xu Rui's face was gloomy and uncertain.

That bitch Lai Weiqi almost ruined his plans.

Killing him would not be able to undo this loss.

But it’s better to die, as it completely eliminates a hidden danger.

As he thought about this, he knocked on the carriage to indicate that he understood. Then he raised his eyebrows and said, "Do it cleanly and leave no traces."

Pan Cheng outside the carriage agreed in a low voice.

Xu Rui closed his eyes in the carriage.

After killing Lai Weiqi, Lord Wei will find the evidence. In the end, the case will still be about the Su family colluding with the Japanese, and the Su family killed Su Mingqing and Su An in order to cover up the crime.

There is no way to escape this.

But without Su Mingqing and Su An, the plan against the Song family would have to be slightly changed.

But it shouldn't have much impact...

He calculated and sorted out all the changes in his mind carefully. Suddenly, he heard a strange noise outside the carriage. Before he could react, the carriage suddenly moved.

Something happened!

The hairs on his body stood up and he felt almost creepy.

Pan Cheng has always been prudent in his work, and he would definitely keep someone here in the carriage. But now, without his order, the carriage moved!

Although he had not fully recovered yet, he had grown up on horseback after all, so he reacted immediately, pressing his back steadily against the wall of the carriage, holding the handle with one hand and lifting the curtain with the other, then aiming at the right moment and leaping out suddenly.

At this moment, the carriage had already slipped to the entrance of the alley. As soon as he jumped off, the carriage tilted over. The horse suddenly let out a loud neighing, and then the carriage fell heavily to the ground with a huge noise.

Oops!

Xu Rui's heart jumped with fright, and he subconsciously dodged backwards. However, at this moment, people all poured out from the gambling houses, restaurants, and places where prostitutes gathered, and soon they came out holding lanterns to check what was going on.

Before he could even dodge, someone suddenly grabbed him and twisted his arm.

Cursing in his heart, Xu Rui's anger was aroused. He knew that this was the culprit who caused the carriage to run out and alarmed people. He immediately grabbed the man's arm and threw him hard.

"Help!" The man suddenly shouted at the top of his lungs, his voice so shrill that it seemed to break through the sky.

Xu Rui's movements suddenly froze, and the blood in his body froze in an instant. Without the need to scramble for the light from the lanterns that came forward, he knew who the person shouting in a hoarse voice was.

Lai Weiqi!

How dare he!

How dare he!

Xu Rui was furious at first, then his heart skipped a beat and he quickly realized that something was wrong. But in just a split second, Lai Weiqi had turned around and slowly smiled at Xu Rui.

That smile was extremely ironic and full of malice.

Xu Rui's heart sank. Seeing him like a madman, he felt like he was falling into an ice cellar.

People outside rushed in to see the excitement, but before they could see it, someone shouted, "The government is coming! The government is coming!"

Xu Rui turned around and stared at Lai Weiqi fiercely: "You are looking for death!"

Lai Weiqi pulled the corners of his mouth fearlessly, spread his hands and lay under Xu Rui, "You said it as if I wouldn't die if they didn't come. Master Xu, don't you think this is better? Even if I die, I won't lose anything. After all, I have you guys, the arrogant ones, to accompany me. Don't you think so?"
