Chapter 106 - Decision
Chapter 106 Decision
Seeing Young Master Zhang’s sinister gaze, Yu Shui’s heart skipped a beat. He had a bad premonition.
“Young Master Zhang, is it really Lin Feng from Dragonlith City?”.
Zhang Hui did not answer, but his silence was almost a tacit admission. For a moment, Yu Shui’s face was as pale as a sheet. He had really miscalculated in one move and lost the entire game.
Actually, he was already very cautious. He had done some research on Yu Shan’s situation beforehand. Although Yu Shan became a high-level martial artist, he had always stayed at the frontline and rarely returned home. What kind of place was the frontline? It was practically a slaughterhouse. Was that a place where Yu Shan could interfere?
Moreover, Yu Shui had also thought that even if Yu Shan had some good friends, as long as he was meticulous about doing it, those high-level martial artists could do nothing. After all, legally, Yu Shui’s money had already been laundered and become legitimate.
However, he never expected that Yu Shan would have a good friend who had broken the genetic lock. Although inhuman experts who had broken the genetic lock ostensibly had to abide by the law, everyone knew that with the influence of inhuman experts, dealing with an ordinary person would be a piece of cake.
“Young Master Zhang, you have to save me!”
Yu Shui was not that stupid. He placed all his hopes on Young Master Zhang. After all, there were two inhuman experts in Young Master Zhang’s family. Moreover, the two of them were already in the same boat, and there was no way for them to escape.
Zhang Shao paced around the room non-stop. Although the sight of Yu Shan angered him, he was actually the one who took the initiative to participate in this matter, and had even taken 30% of the wealth. He had been extremely carefree during this period of time.
Now that something went wrong, he naturally had to think of a way.
Using the law? Don’t be ridiculous. The law was a good thing, but it sufficed when dealing with ordinary people. Against inhuman experts? That was just idiocy.
Once Lin Feng came, those “flaws” would naturally be discovered upon investigation by all kinds of people. By then, even Zhang Hui himself would be get off without repercussions.
Persecuting a high-level martial artist-a hero who fought at the frontline, and a hero who retreated from the frontline after being injured at that, what kind of crime was this? Even if his family had the influence to keep him alive, he would probably spend the rest of his life in jail.
Moreover, he was certain that the Zhang family would not offend the influential and prestigious Hero of Humanity, Lin Feng, for his sake!
As for having the two inhuman experts of the Zhang family mediate between them, that would be even more absurd. He was just an ordinary descendant of the Zhang family. What ability did he have to make the two inhuman experts come forward personally? The Zhang family had many heirs, so him alone was not significant. It would have been fine if they were facing ordinary people, but this time, they were facing the Hero of Humanity, Lin Feng, who was currently at the height of his influence, and an inhuman expert with boundless prospects!
Yet how could Zhang Hui be willing to accept that he could do nothing, sit back, and await the final verdict?
He could not accept this. No one would sit back and await their demise!
“Young Master Zhang, you can’t think of a way either? How about I return the money to my big brother? He’s my big brother, after all. He won’t kill me, right…”
Yu Shui gritted his teeth. He was beginning to be afraid, and the thought of retreating had vaguely appeared in his heart. No matter what, Yu Shan was his biological brother. He could seize his brother’s wealth through jealousy and indignation, but if he returned all the money to his brother, even if he accomplished nothing in this life, it would be better than being sent to jail or even being shot.
“Idiot, if you dare to return the money, I’ll kill
you!”
Zhang Hui suddenly turned around. His eyes were bloodshot, and he looked like an enraged beast.
Yu Shui was also terrified by Young Master Zhang’s behavior, and he didn’t dare to say anything Zhang Hui glared fiercely at Yu Shui. Many thoughts flashed through his mind. If Yu Shui admitted his mistake now and returned the money, he actually had a way out. After all, Yu Shan and Yu Shui were biological brothers, and Yu Shan would not really kill Yu Shui.
But what about him? He, Zhang Hui, was just an outsider. Moreover, he had urged and instigated Yu Shui to swindle Yu Shan’s wealth. He was the true mastermind and the main culprit. Yu Shui had a way out, but Zhang Hui decidedly didn’t.
It was true that if Zhang Hui admitted his mistake now and returned the money, even if he was not forgiven, he would probably just go to jail for a few years or even ten-odd years. But the key was that he did not have any money now. Most of the money he had obtained had been squandered. He even wanted to get some more money from Yu Shui to continue squandering it.
It was impossible for the Zhang family to fill this hole for him, so the greatest possibility was that he would still go to jail, and he would be jailed for a really long time.
No matter how much he thought about it, it seemed that he couldn’t think of a better solution.
“If… If this matter is turned into an ironclad case and Yu Shan is dead, even if that Lin Feng comes, what can he do? Although inhuman experts have extraordinary status, if it’s an ironclad case, it’ll be impossible for him to kill me without evidence. If that’s really done, it would actually be a good thing…”
Suddenly, Zhang Hui’s eyes lit up. He had thought of a good idea.
The key now was Yu Shan. As long as Yu Shan was alive, that was evidence. If Yu Shan had any requests, Lin Feng would help him. But what if Yu Shan was dead? Even if Lin Feng was suspicious, if he had no evidence, what could he do?
Of course, this was a very risky matter. If it was just a case of swindle, his crime would not be punishable by death. However, once he murdered Yu Shan and left behind evidence, his death would be certain!
Zhang Hui was engaged in a fierce inner battle. His eyes were bloodshot, and he was panting heavily.
It was too difficult. Perhaps he had never faced such a difficult decision in his entire life.
After half an hour, Zhang Hui suddenly gritted his teeth. He looked at Yu Shui, whose face was slightly pale, and seemed to have made up his mind.
“Yu Shui, there’s something you need to do. As long as you succeed, even if Lin Feng comes, he won’t be able to do anything to us.”
Hearing Zhang Hui’s words, Yu Shui was overjoyed. He hurriedly asked, “What method?”
“It’s very simple. Go to the black market and hire a few martial artists at a high price. Then, think of a way to lure your big brother out, and…”
Hearing Zhang Hui’s solution, Yu Shui’s face turned even paler. “No, I can’t do this. He… He’s my big brother!”
Yu Shui hurriedly shook his head and took a few steps back. Even though he was very jealous of his elder brother, Yu Shan, and even though deep down, he also yearned to surpass Yu Shan in some aspect…
He honestly never thought of killing Yu Shan. He never even had the slightest thought of doing so.
Zhang Hui took a step forward and grabbed Yu Shui’s collar. He sneered, “Now you remember that he’s your big brother? When you swindled the wealth he earned with his life, did you ever think that he was your big brother? When you drove him into such a miserable state, did you ever think that he was your big brother? Haha, what a joke. Calling you a piece of trash is really an exaltation of you. A great man must be ruthless. Moreover, even if you want to admit your mistake now, will Yu Shan forgive you for certain?
“Maybe you do not know the weight of the inhuman experts yet—they won’t take any responsibility even if they kill you. They are people with licenses to kill, you fool!”
Yu Shui sat on the sofa in a daze, his mind blank.
Actually, what Zhang Hui said just now was an exaggeration. He wanted to scare Yu Shui. After all, even inhuman experts could not be lawless and kill people at will.
However, if Yu Shui did not have the guts to do it, how could Zhang Hui do it alone? If Yu Shui betrayed him at the last moment and went to apologize to Yu Shan, what should he do?
Hence, Zhang Hui could not allow such a thing to happen. He had to tie Yu Shui firmly to himself!
