“Brilliant, Dad, Brother! That old man was always kinder to outsiders than to us. He’d never have guessed that what he ate wasn’t a tonic but poison!”
The three were elated. Just as the father held the forged will in one hand and pressed the old master’s finger, dipped in ink, to sign it, the old master suddenly opened his eyes.
“I never would’ve thought my own son and grandsons would conspire to harm me!”
The old master’s awakening nearly scared the trio to death.
“Don’t get worked up, even if you’re still alive, it’s just a final flicker!”
“Don’t struggle, let us send you off ourselves!”
Seeing their plan to seize control unravel, the father and sons refused to back down.
In their madness, they prepared to strangle the old master!
At the critical moment, the door was kicked open, and Xu Fei and Wang Qiang rushed in.
“You filthy scum, stop this instant! To think you’d stoop so low for the family fortune!”
Xu Fei charged forward, subduing the trio with a few swift kicks, and the chaos in the room gradually subsided.
“Let me go! Don’t you know this is the Zhu family? If I say you failed to murder my grandfather, you’re still the culprits!” Zhu Hong, the elder brother, said with unwarranted confidence.
Xu Fei rolled his eyes and replied, “You really love playing the clever one, don’t you?”
“It’s too late to frame me now. Look up and see what’s there!”
At these words, the trio glanced at the ceiling and froze. Unbeknownst to them, a tiny camera had been installed on the wall.
“One thing you should know, this isn’t the only camera. I’ve also got footage of you poisoning the old master’s food. Want to take a look?”
Wang Qiang produced more of the earlier videos, leaving the trio too terrified to speak.
“If you think that’s not enough evidence, take a look at this!”
Wang Qiang swiped his phone, revealing a new scene, the Zhu family relatives were in the next room, watching a TV connected to the wall’s camera.
The father and sons finally understood, they were the fools all along!
“I… I planned everything so perfectly, how did it end like this!”
“Grandfather, Brother, save me… I was just momentarily confused, please spare me!”
With irrefutable evidence, the Zhu family trio could no longer act tough.
Xu Fei ignored their pathetic cries and turned to stand by the old master’s bedside.
“Someone, tie these three up and take them away, don’t let them disturb the old master!”
With a wave of Wang Qiang’s hand, the Zhu family guards turned on the trio and dragged them out.
The room fell silent. Xu Fei took out silver needles and pricked the old master’s body, withdrawing the true qi he had previously infused.
The trio had believed the old master was dead because Xu Fei had used true qi to create the illusion of death.
The true qi had completely masked the old master’s vital signs, convincing everyone he had passed.
In truth, the old master’s illness had long been cured, and the toxins in his body had been expelled with Xu Fei’s precise movements.
