Otherworldly-Cultivator

Chapter 208 Confused and Frightened

The first to arrive at the Shen House was the Yu family, especially since they were still close relatives. Shen Yu immediately went to see Yang Li, who was pretending to cry in her room, to comfort her. “I know that this is very hard, but you must stay strong to get through this ordeal, okay? Plus, you still have Qing’er, and she still needs you, especially after her father and little brother passed away.”

“I know.” Yang Li replied while sobbing, but she was laughing inside. “I don’t understand why someone would have the heart to kill my husband and son, and Luo Zhenhai told me that the killer controlled Lu’er to kill his father before he committed suicide.”

“I also don’t understand why the killer would do such things to them.” Shen Yu sighed heavily before she continued. “However, you don’t need to worry; we will definitely try to find the killer as soon as possible, and we will definitely make that person pay a heavy price for his/her heinous deeds.”

‘Humph! You won’t be able to find the culprit.’ Yang Li said as she snorted in her heart. “I know; I hope we can find the killer soon, and I want that person to be severely punished.”

“Anyway, where is Qing’er? How come I haven’t seen her since earlier?” Shen Yu curiously asked her.

Yang Li shook her head and told Shen Yu. “Qing’er is staying over at her friend’s house, so she still doesn’t know about their deaths, and I feel at a loss to tell her about their deaths.”

“I see.” Shen Yu nodded in understanding. “No matter what happens, you must still tell Qing’er about their deaths, or she will be very sad if she learns everything from someone else.”

“I know.” Yang Li replied as she nodded. “I will contact Qing’er once I feel calmer.” ｂ𝚍𝚘𝚟ｌ.ｎｔ

In the living room of the Shen House, six men were sitting together, and their expressions were ugly after they heard of the deaths of their friends.

“Who do you think killed them?” Yu Lei asked them.

Bei Xiang shook his head and answered him. “I dare not confirm it, especially since we know that Shen Hu also had some enemies, but I don’t understand why Shen Lu was killed along with him.”

“Do you think Mo Xie is their killer?” Yang Lang suddenly asked them.

The two men turned to Yang Lang, but they immediately shook their heads at him, and Yu Lei said. “Although Mo Xie has a superpower, his superpower is related to metal. Moreover, Luo Zhenhai said that their killer might have a superpower to control other people’s minds, so I’m not sure that he is the culprit.”

“I agree with Bei Xiang; I’m not sure that Mo Xie is the culprit.” Yu Lei said as he nodded. “There are only three people with two superpowers in our country, and one of them is Chen Wei’er. However, we all know that their superpowers aren’t mind control, so the three of them definitely aren’t the culprits either.”

Upon hearing that, Yang Lang frowned and said. “As I recall, there was someone from that group who had the superpower to control other people’s minds, but our government has been monitoring him very closely, so I don’t think he could possibly trick the overseers and kill them.”

“En, you’re right about that person; I also don’t believe that he’s the culprit.” Yu Lei said as he nodded.

Bei Xiang also agreed with him, but he then asked. “If they weren’t the culprits? Then who actually killed them?”

Yu Lei and Yang Lang could only shake their heads helplessly, for they themselves also couldn’t figure out the perpetrator of Shen Hu and Shen Lu’s murder.

On the other hand, Bei Qiang, Yang Chen, and Yu Wen were silently listening to their father’s conversation. However, they were sure that Chen Li was their killer, but they also didn’t have any evidence to accuse him of being the killer.

Tang Wan was in shock after hearing the news of the murder, and she asked Long Jiuxiao. “Husband, do you have any guesses about the identity of their killer?”

“No.” Long Jiuxiao replied as he shook his head. “At first, I thought that person was the culprit, especially since Luo Zhenhai said that the culprit probably has a superpower to control minds. However, I’ve contacted the people from the government, and they told me that person hasn’t left his house for the past few days.”

“Who are you referring to?” Tang Wan asked with a raised eyebrow.

“Kong Ming!” Tang Wan gasped upon hearing the name, and Long Jiuxiao told his wife. “In our country, he is the only possessor of such a superpower; even the government is very afraid of him, so they send several people to monitor him all the time.”

“If he really never left his home, then who killed Shen Hu and Shen Lu?” Seeing her husband shake his head, Tang Wan asked him about another matter. “Have you checked Aotian’s villa?”

Long Jiuxiao’s expression became ugly after he heard his wife’s question; he then looked at Tang Wan with a serious look. “I checked Aotian’s villa yesterday, and I found something that was really beyond my expectations. Huishan and Xueyi have returned to this country; they are no longer humans but vampires.”

“What!?” Tang Wan shouted and looked at her husband in shock. “Are you serious about that? How did Huishan and Xueyi become vampires?”

“I am very serious with my words.” Long Jiuxiao replied with a firm nod. “I saw two glasses filled with blood in their room, so I’m sure they’re already vampires by now, or else they wouldn’t drink it. As for how they became vampires, I don’t know about it because I didn’t meet them yesterday, so I can’t ask them anything.”

Tang Wan’s face turned pale after listening to her husband’s explanation of her two sisters-in-law, and she then asked him again. “Could it be that Huishan and Xueyi have done something to our son? Will our son also become a vampire like them in the future?”

“No.” Long Jiuxiao then told his wife the information he knew about vampires. “Since they’re not pureblood vampires, they can’t turn a human into a vampire, so you don’t need to worry about Aotian turning into one.”

“Phew.” Tang Wan sighed in relief as she wiped his forehead. “That’s good! I don’t want my son to become a vampire! Anyway, what are you going to do with them? Are you going to capture them?”

“After this, I will go to see Huishan and Xueyi to confirm everything first, and I will make a decision after talking to them.” Tang Wan nodded understandingly to her husband. “If they drink blood by killing people, then I will definitely capture them. But if they don’t kill people, then I won’t do anything to them.”

“In that case, you can go see Huishan and Xueyi now, and I will try to talk to our son again.”

After that, Long Jiuxiao immediately left the house, and Tang Wan went to see her son.

Since his parents already knew everything, Long Aotian finally dared to tell his mother about the identities of his two aunts. “They threatened to kill me if I told you, so I didn’t dare say anything to you before, Mom.”

“It’s okay.” Tang Wan replied as she hugged her son. “Your father is back now, and he will definitely protect you from them, so you don’t need to be afraid of them anymore.”

In Yu Hua’s apartment, two women were slumped on the sofa after they learned about Shen Hu and Shen Lu’s deaths; even their faces became deathly pale, and they were absolutely certain that the culprit was Chen Li, which terrified them that he would also kill their sons.

Bei Lian’er then asked Yu Xuan. “What should we do now? Chen Li has started his revenge, but I don’t know when he will attack Yang Lang, and I am afraid that he will kill Chen’er.”

“Not only do you feel that way, but I’m also afraid to think that Chen Li will kill Qiang’er.” Yu Xuan replied with a glum expression.

“Do you think we should tell them that Chen Li killed the two people?” Bei Lian’er seriously asked, for she didn’t want anything bad to happen to her son.

However, Yu Xuan sighed softly and shook her head. “Have you forgotten Big Sis Hua’s words? If we tell them about Chen Li, he will definitely do bad things to us too.”

“So what should we do now? Should we go to meet Chen Li and beg him?” Bei Lian’er was really worried about all the eventualities.

“En.” Yu Xuan nodded to her. “We have no other choice but to meet Chen Li, and we must beg him not to do anything bad to our sons.”

“In that case, let’s go to Chen Li’s mansion right now.” Bei Lian’er said as she stood up, and Yu Xuan also followed suit.

However, Bei Yudie suddenly came out of her room and asked them. “Mom? Aunt Lian’er? Where are you guys going? Why didn’t you tell me?”

“Yudie, you should stay here, and we will go see Chen Li.” Yu Xuan answered her daughter as she walked towards the exit.

“Wait! I’ll come with you to meet Big Brother Chen!” The two women exchanged glances for a moment before they nodded at Bei Yudie, and they immediately left the apartment.
