Chapter 237 - 237: The Ling Family?
When Su Li heard his words, she smiled awkwardly. “Are you unhappy because of this?”
Cheng Yu nodded and said, “This is clearly something you worked hard to develop, but it didn’t end well. I feel it’s not worth it for you!”
He didn’t do anything, but in the end, the credit fell to him. This feeling made him very uncomfortable.
Su Li said nonchalantly, “I didn’t ask for anything in return for doing this. Since everyone thinks that you’re the one who cured them, I can save a lot of trouble.”
If the villagers knew that she had the ability and came to see her every few days, she wouldn’t be able to stand it either!
She should continue living her quiet life!
Cheng Yu said, “Madam Su, I’m sorry. I kept explaining to them, but they didn’t believe me!”
When he thought of how single-minded those villagers were, he felt a headache!
Su Li shook her head and said, “Alright, there’s no need to dwell on this matter.
Whether you treat them or I save them, the outcome will be the same.”
Cheng Yu did not expect Su Li to be so magnanimous. His understanding of Su Li changed again.
The next day.
Su Li’s family was sitting down to eat when she heard the sound of horse hooves outside the door.
She could already guess who it was!
He Yufeng also heard the commotion. He put down the chopsticks in his hand and said, “I’ll go out and take a look.”
Ling Yiran got off the horse and threw the reins to the servant beside him.
He Yufeng narrowed his eyes when he saw Ling Yiran.
“What a coincidence. I didn’t expect to meet you here.” Ling Yiran said.
He Yufeng’s face darkened when he heard this. What did this mean? Was it very surprising that he was here?
This was his father-in-law’s house. It was normal for him to be here. Seeing Ling Yiran’s annoying expression, He Yufeng could not help but want to punch him.
He Yufeng quickly adjusted his mentality and said, “You’re here to look for my wife?”
Ling Yiran glanced at He Yufeng. This guy called her so intimately. Don’t think that he didn’t know that their relationship as husband and wife was ordinary. “Yes, she invited me!”
With that, Ling Yiran walked past He Yufeng and entered the house.
He Yufeng who was ignored was speechless.
Cheng Yu was engrossed in his meal. When he saw Ling Yiran appear, he quickly wiped the oil from the corner of his mouth, afraid that his boss would think he was a good-for-nothing.
“Boss is here.” Cheng Yu said.
Ling Yiran nodded slightly at him and couldn’t help but look at the table.
There was simmered wheat, steamed dumplings, dumplings, and a large pot of noodles on the table. There was also minced meat beside it. It looked so tempting that Ling Yiran could not help but swallow his saliva.
He had experienced Su Li’s culinary skills before. After eating once, one would not want to stop. The taste was simply amazing. Su Li noticed his gaze and said politely, “Do you want some?”
Ling Yiran nodded unceremoniously. “Yes!”
Su Li went to get him a pair of bowls and chopsticks.
Because everyone at home did labor work, she made a little more breakfast. Now that there was Ling Yiran, there was still barely enough to eat.
The guards who followed Ling Yiran stood outside the door and saw their master’s expression. They could not help but wonder what delicacies they had eaten. Otherwise, why would their master have that expression?!
After all, Ling Yiran was someone who had eaten all kinds of delicacies. Ordinary food was not worthy of his attention.
He Yufeng was expressionless the entire time. The aura he exuded showed that he did not welcome Ling Yiran at this moment.
Yao Jun was also a little unhappy. The reason he was unhappy was that there was another person snatching food from him, causing him to not be full.
However, he only complained in his heart. Who asked him to have no status!
After eating and drinking his fill, Ling Yiran proposed to visit those people.
Su Li was very happy with his suggestion. She originally wanted to follow Ling Yiran’s lead to investigate the person behind the scenes, but she did not expect Ling Yiran to come so quickly this time. She brought Ling Yiran to the bull pen.
“They are in here,” Su Li said.
Ling Yiran felt that the surrounding smell was a little strange and asked, “What was this place used to be?”
“Cow pen,” Su Li said.
Ling Yiran frowned in disdain. No wonder there was a smell.
“Madam Su, I want to interrogate those people. I wonder if it’s convenient for you to leave?”
Su Li was a little surprised to hear his words. He was interrogating them. Would she affect him by standing at the side?
Ling Yiran smiled and explained, “I have some secret techniques for interrogating people, so it’s not convenient for you to see.”
Since he had already said so, Su Li couldn’t say anything else and could only nod in agreement.
Ling Yiran walked in front of them and pinched the chin of one of them with his slender fingers.
“Who sent you?”
The man shook his head vigorously. “I don’t know!” Ling Yiran sneered. “You really don’t know?” “I really don’t know!” The man insisted.
With a click, Ling Yiran sent him to the afterlife.
The rest of the people were stunned. They did not expect Ling Yiran to be so ruthless. He killed him without even saying a few words. Shouldn’t he be interrogated a few more times?
Ling Yiran took out a handkerchief from his pocket and wiped his hands in disdain. He said coldly, “Since you don’t know anything, go and meet the King of Hell directly. Let the King of Hell interrogate you. I don’t have the patience to waste with you.”
Ling Yiran looked at the next person, who shrank back in fear.
“Are you going to tell me or not?” Ling Yiran asked.
“…” They really didn’t know anything. What should they say?
Their reaction was within Ling Yiran’s expectations. He said, “Think about it carefully. Does that person have any characteristics, or is there anything special about his clothes? If you can tell me a few useful things, I can spare your lives.”
When the few of them heard this, they immediately began to recall. They really did not want to die!
“I remember now. He had a jade pendant on him. There was a word engraved on it.”
Ling Yiran suddenly looked over. “What word?”
That person thought about it for a while.
“I remember now. It’s the word “power”.
Power?
Ling Yiran smirked mockingly.
His good brother was really everywhere!
When Su Li saw Ling Yiran walk out, she asked, “How’s the interrogation going?”
Ling Yiran smiled and nodded. “There’s naturally no problem after using my secret technique. Madam Su, I have a presumptuous request.” Su Li raised her eyebrows. “Tell me!”
“Can you let me bring these people back?” Ling Yiran asked.
Since his brother wanted to play with him, he would play with him to the end.
Instead of answering, Su Li asked, “Are these people useful to you?”
Ling Yiran knew that Su Li was very smart, so he did not hide it from her and said directly, “They might be sent by my good brother.”
Someone from the Ling family?
Su Li couldn’t help but frown.. They had no grudges with him, so why did he poison them?
