Chapter 359 - 359 THE ANTIDOTE IS IN MY HANDS
That stupid Bai Renshu even secretly cared about Bai Chen, and that was absolutely not my plan. When I knew that I was starting to lose control over Tang Yanmei and I also knew that I wouldn’t be able to control the Crown Prince either, I could only use Bai Chen, provoking him so that he would hate his father and half-brother even more.
But one day I could feel how Tang Yanmei planned to tell Bai Renshu about what happened to her all those years ago, and that was, of course, related to me. I sensed danger, and that’s why I decided to kill her before she could reveal anything.”
Shao Yaoting’s voice kept escaping Yu Ming’s lips, and Bai Chen couldn’t even count how many times the word “stupid” was said by the old man.
It looked like Shao Yaoting’s vocabulary was limited, but Bai Chen’s focus wasn’t on that. At this time, Bai Chen could barely feel his spine as he almost fell off his chair after hearing the lengthy confession that came from the head of the Black Werewolf Clan.
Before Bai Renshu died, he hated that man with all his heart, thinking that the man also had the same hatred towards him, and he also assumed that Bai Renshu would hurt him in the future because of that hostility.
But then his opinion about his half-brother changed after the man died, leaving behind a secret letter that only he could open. From the letter, he could read how the Crown Prince said that he was not the one who killed his mother, and besides, the Crown Prince also said that the person who killed his mother was probably someone close to him.
Bai Renshu didn’t name names in the letter, and Bai Chen assumed that his half-brother actually didn’t know the real killer of his mother either. Just now Shao Yaoting admitted that he killed his mother before she could even reveal anything, and that confirmed his suspicion that Bai Renshu indeed still didn’t know the truth even after he died.
He suddenly felt bad for Bai Renshu. The man must have had a big heart to accept a woman who had broken his family even though he could only do it secretly. He forgave the woman, and he also stopped hating her. In the end, the man had even secretly cared for his little brother, and Bai Chen couldn’t even explain how he was feeling right now.
.....
Elsewhere, Wu Jinhai also looked like he couldn’t believe what he had just heard. He had to admit that he was also fooled by this evil Shao Yaoting who used to pretend to be a harmless servant called Ma Qiao.
In the past few months since he had started getting close to Bai Chen, he had thought Bai Renshu was the real villain, and he had even provoked that man a few times. Lastly, when the man needed his help against the Three-Headed Snake in the Forbidden Forest, he even ignored him, resulting in how Shao Meihui being killed by the beast at that time.
Ah, Shao Meihui.
Suddenly, Wu Jinhai had another question in his head, and that’s why he asked again, “Who is Shao Meihui? Is she your daughter or your brother’s daughter?”
Wu Jinhai felt guilty in his heart as he recalled the memory of how that innocent girl had been killed in the Forbidden Forest. After knowing everything, he had to admit that Bai Chen was right to be mad at him back then. He should have saved Shao Meihui back then, and Bai Renshu would not have killed himself because he was too devastated by his lover’s death.
He knew that he couldn’t turn back time and change everything that had happened in the past, and now he only wanted to know the truth behind Shao Meihui.
“She’s my brother’s daughter,” Shao Yaoting replied calmly. “She was born a few years after I was defeated by that old bastard, and I could also see how she might be able to help me with my plans in the future, and that’s why I asked my brother to introduce her as the daughter of the Black Werewolf Clan. She knew nothing of my plan. She foolishly thought that her father was the real head of the clan, and she also thought that she was indeed the daughter of the clan. Somehow, I feel sorry for her.”
Wu Jinhai clenched his fists after hearing Shao Yaoting’s answer. He had to admit that he was sometimes heartless, but he believed that Shao Yaoting was the most heartless person in this world. Even when the old man said that he felt sorry for Shao Meihui, there was not the slightest bit of guilt on his face, and that was why Wu Jinhai didn’t believe his nonsense at all.
“You don’t deserve that throne, bastard,” grinding his teeth, Wu Jinhai angrily replied to Shao Yaoting. “Get down from that throne immediately, or I will kill you instantly to take revenge for the deaths of those innocent people!”
Wu Jinhai indeed couldn’t take it anymore, and that was why he planned to finish things off without hearing any more nonsense from that old bastard.
He looked extremely angry, and even his expression turned frightening as his pair of golden eyes started to shine brightly. One would feel scared when they saw him, but Shao Yaoting was not the same in that he looked amused instead.
“Oh! It seems you enjoy the fish demon power within your body, Your Highness. That’s why you keep using the fish demon’s power instead of your innate human power,” Shao Yaoting sneered at the younger man, and Wu Jinhai looked even angrier and was about to charge forward if the older man didn’t continue speaking, “I can see that you’re enjoying the fish demon’s power within your body, but I thought you wanted to get rid of the poison, Your Highness? Have you changed your mind? If you don’t change your mind, then I might be able to help you get rid of the poison. After all, the antidote is now in my hands.”
