Merchant of the Underworld

Chapter 1698: Plot (additional update)

Regarding this sudden accusation, even if Zhang Lan was confused at the moment, she knew how to deny it immediately: "No, I didn't do it, it wasn't me! Don't make such a rash of words."

"Am I slandering others?" Leng Ruyun glared at him unforgivingly: "You touched your chest and said, isn't it because of the property of our Leng family that you married my grandfather?"

"Yes! I am indeed interested in the Leng family's money! Because Dr. Tang wanted to open a private clinic before, we borrowed a sum of money from a loan shark. Who knew that this loan shark was opened by a shady businessman? Now the interest is compounded, we I simply couldn't afford to pay it back. I became a dancer out of necessity, just to help him pay back the money. Who knew that the old family owner would take a fancy to me and even said that he wanted to marry me or something. At his age, I would be my grandfather. Of course I didn't want to because I was getting older, but Dr. Tang persuaded me that I might as well endure it. The old guy couldn't have sex anyway, so if I pretended to marry him, I might be able to defraud him a lot of money, so I agreed. Zhang Lan cried while talking: "I didn't kill him at all!"

After she said these words in one breath, she realized that the entire living room fell into silence. She said hurriedly: "Every word I said is true..."

Leng Wu sneered twice: "Brother, what do you think we should do about this matter?"

Leng Dou gritted his teeth and looked at Zhang Lan: "What else can I say about this bitch? It would be an exaggeration to bury her alive."

Zhang Lan was shocked: "No...don't kill me! I don't know anything...let me go!"

The Leng family did not welcome Zhang Lan's appearance. In the past, it was just because the old family leader was still alive. Although everyone was unhappy inside, they did not dare to show it on the surface. Now that the old family leader is dead, naturally no one will care about her life or death.

But I felt that Zhang Lan, the person next to me, should know something about the death of the old patriarch, so I had to bite the bullet and stepped forward and said: "We still have to investigate the death of the old patriarch, so Zhang Lan can't deal with it for the time being. I think it's Lock her in the room first, and wait until the truth is found out before dealing with her!"

Leng Rushuang should have come back by then. With her character, she probably wouldn't kill this man, and she would have accumulated some evil virtue for herself.

Leng Dou obviously disapproved of what I said: "Mr. Zhang, when did you have to intervene in the Leng family's affairs? What? You see that this bitch has the same surname as you, so you feel sympathy for her? Is she the same as your Zhang family? What does it have to do with anything?" His words were neither negative nor positive, and particularly harsh, especially when he attributed Zhang Lan to the Zhang family, which actually implied that I had bad intentions towards the Leng family.

This made me a little unhappy, and I didn't bother to talk to him. I simply said decisively: "I hope that even if I don't come up with the Tianshan Order, everyone can cooperate with me."

Since Leng Rushuang gave me this gold medal to avoid death, why should I not use it?

Sure enough, as soon as the Tianshan Order came out, the Leng family members immediately stopped. But it was impossible to order them, so I had to let Li Mazi and Gur take Zhang Lan to the empty room upstairs.

But since the Leng family has always been so defensive about me, I don't need to keep using my hot face to stick to other people's cold buttocks. So at noon, I simply called Gul: "You only need to cook for the three of us at noon, and you don't need to worry about the others."

Gur, who had been worried about Leng Rushuang's situation, was a little puzzled: "Isn't this bad?"

"Did Leng Rushuang want you to follow me and take care of me, and let you take care of others?" I was afraid that if I said this, Gur would not say anything. So at noon, the Leng family started making trouble again, and I had to take out the Tianshan Order to shock them.

The whole world became quiet again.

I have to be grateful from the bottom of my heart that Leng Rushuang handed me this small wooden token, otherwise I don’t know how much trouble I would have encountered.

After lunch, I went to see Zhang Lan to find out more about the situation. Her mind was a little fuzzy, and Dr. Tang's death was a big shock to her. I asked her a few questions about the cause of death of the old family leader. She either stared at me blankly, or shook her head blankly and said she didn't know.

I had no choice but to tell what Xiao Tao had told me about seeing her adding medicine to the old master’s soup in the kitchen.

Zhang Lan rolled her eyes, looked at me and smiled bitterly: "If you want to accuse me, why bother? Whether you believe it or not, I didn't do it. I don't know anything."

I couldn't get any valuable information from her, so I left the room helplessly. This also made me clearly understand that time is getting increasingly urgent, and more people may die in the future. If I don’t seize the time to investigate clearly, not only will the Leng family be defeated by the lurking danger, but Li Mazi and I will also not A way to escape unscathed.

Moreover, I am extremely concerned about the situation over there at Leng Rushuang.

I felt like I was entangled in a dense web and couldn't get through it. I had no clue and didn't know where to start.

The Leng family's complicated interpersonal relationships make everyone look suspicious.

On earth...who is it?

And what happened in Yarkand City? Why do sand ghosts come to the Leng family to commit murder?

That night, before midnight, I was explaining my doubts to Li Mazi with a sullen expression. Hearing a rush of footsteps in the corridor, Gul knocked on the door and said with a panicked expression: "The new lady is dead..."

"What?" Li Mazi shouted: "This sand ghost doesn't take us seriously anymore. The big guy hasn't rested yet, and it dares to come and kill people?"

"It's not the Sand Ghost, the new lady committed suicide." Gur said in panic.

suicide?

When the three of us arrived, we found that Zhang Lan had hanged himself in the bathroom. Leng Rulei and Leng Ruyun looked at everything in front of them indifferently and whispered: "This orchid is a bit lucky. It loved beauty in life, and it is not ugly after death. It didn't die in the hands of the sand ghost. "

That’s right! Zhang Lan didn't die at the hands of the Sand Ghost, so would the curse of blood numbers be broken? I searched around the room, but I didn't see the bloody number. Just when I was about to breathe a sigh of relief, I found that the clock in this room had stopped, and the hour and minute hands were pointing at ten o'clock.

Could it be... is this a coincidence?

I frowned and asked in a deep voice, "Who discovered her body?"

A restless figure walked out of the crowd, and it turned out to be Xiao Tao. She was almost frightened to tears: "It's...it's me. I was going to deliver dinner to the new wife, but who knew I would see it when I walked in." She didn't say any more, but started crying.

Leng Ruyun glared at her: "You are kind and you know how to bring her food."

Xiaotao was frightened by her and cried even harder.
