Chapter 126: I Have Always Respected Old Master Liu, and I Have Long Admired Him

“Thank you for your concern, Old Master Liu. I am much better now,” Yang Wei replied with a faint smile.

“That’s good. I want to ask you some questions about cultivation,” Liu Qingfeng said, looking at Yang Wei expectantly. Recently, he had felt a breakthrough opportunity in the air, but no matter what he did, he couldn’t grasp it, which frustrated him greatly.

Taking advantage of Yang Wei’s free time, he decided to ask him for guidance.

“No problem. What would you like to ask, Old Master Liu?”

“About the opportunity to break through to Transformation…”

“Father, I’m back.” Liu Lei said as he walked into the central villa of the Liu family mansion after returning from Heaven On Earth.

The Liu family had many members, and there were more than a dozen villas scattered around the courtyard, not counting those living elsewhere. The central villa was where the head of the family resided, and one needed the head’s permission to live there.

“You’re back…” Seeing Liu Lei return home, Liu Qingfeng stopped his conversation with Yang Wei and turned to look at his son with a smile.

Although his eldest son had never achieved anything outstanding, he had been diligent for many years, making significant contributions to the Liu family.

“Let me introduce you. This is Yang Wei, a young genius.”

“Little friend, this is my eldest son, Liu Lei…”

Liu Lei glanced at Yang Wei. Is this the guy Jiang Che mentioned as an enemy? However, he still extended his hand with a faint smile, his honest appearance making it easy to like him.

“Hello.”

“Hello, Uncle Liu…” Yang Wei also smiled at Liu Lei, obviously deceived by his appearance.

“Father, I went to the neighboring Nanjing City and successfully negotiated that billion-dollar contract.” Liu Lei looked at Liu Qingfeng expectantly, hoping to gain his approval and secure the position of family head.

If possible, he certainly didn’t want to use means to kill Liu Qingfeng to gain the position, after all, Liu Qingfeng was his father.

“Very good. After so many years, you finally achieved something.” Liu Qingfeng praised faintly, though his face showed no sign of gratification, clearly just going through the motions.

Although Liu Lei’s success was commendable, Liu Qingfeng believed that if his younger son handled the matter, it might have been done even better.

Liu Lei clenched his fists but said nothing more. After taking a deep breath, he said, “I just got off the plane, and I’m a bit tired. Father, I’ll go rest first.”

After saying that, he left Liu Qingfeng’s villa and headed towards his own. He had made up his mind. Since the old man would not acknowledge him no matter what, he wouldn’t hesitate to be ruthless!

“Little friend, let’s continue our discussion…” After Liu Lei left, Liu Qingfeng turned back to Yang Wei with a smile, his attitude towards Yang Wei better than towards his own son.

Clearly, despite Liu Lei’s efforts, Liu Qingfeng took it for granted.

During dinner, all the members of Liu Qingfeng’s branch gathered, drinking and chatting merrily.

Taking advantage of Yang Wei’s absence for a bathroom break, Liu Lei poured the poison Jiang Che gave him into Liu Qingfeng’s wine cup.

The poison was colorless and tasteless, leaving no trace.

“Father, I toast to you.” Liu Lei raised his cup towards Liu Qingfeng.

Liu Qingfeng, not suspecting anything, picked up his cup and clinked it with Liu Lei’s.

Seeing Liu Qingfeng successfully drink the poisoned wine, Liu Lei felt a heavy stone lift from his heart.

Don’t blame me for being unfilial, it’s your fault for being too much!

The poisoned wine wouldn’t take effect immediately; Liu Qingfeng would die within twelve hours without any detectable cause. Liu Lei could then frame Yang Wei and gain Jiang Che’s support to become the next head of the Liu family.

Dinner continued merrily, and soon night fell, and everyone returned to their villas.

Liu Qingfeng, feeling dizzy, instructed the maids to clean up the living room before heading upstairs to sleep.

The next morning, a servant noticed that the head of the family hadn’t gone to the park for his usual morning Tai Chi, which was unusual since Liu Qingfeng had kept this habit for years.

Knocking on his door and getting no response, the servant felt something was wrong and entered Liu Qingfeng’s room, calling out a few times.

“Master…”

Receiving no answer, the servant turned Liu Qingfeng over to find his face pale, eyes closed, and body cold, clearly dead.

“Ah… dead!”

In the living room of Crouching Dragon Villa, Jiang Che sat on the sofa while Ah Qing massaged his shoulders.

“Ding, the host has changed the plot by poisoning Liu Qingfeng, rewarding 3000 villain points.”

“Ding, the host framed Yang Wei, decreasing Yang Wei’s luck by 2000, rewarding 4000 villain points.”

“How much luck does Yang Wei have left?” Jiang Che asked curiously, considering how many villain points he had recently earned from him.

“Yang Wei currently has 8000 luck left.”

8000 left? It seems I haven’t tormented him enough!

With this thought, Jiang Che got up and headed out, planning to join the Liu family’s drama.

In the Liu family courtyard, in the living room, Liu Lei led the family members in mourning, burning paper money for the deceased Liu Qingfeng. They had accepted his death, and the living room was filled with the sound of wailing.

“How could he suddenly die like this…”

A beautiful woman sobbed, clearly unable to accept Liu Qingfeng’s sudden death. She was Liu Mei, Liu Qingfeng’s only daughter among his many children.

“Who knows, I thought the old master could live to ninety, but it seems fate had other plans…”

A middle-aged man sighed, looking at the body covered with a white cloth in the living room.

A doctor had checked and found no diseases, declaring Liu Qingfeng had died of natural causes.

The man, Liu Tian, Liu Qingfeng’s youngest son, thought he would inherit the family head position after a few years, but now he had to compete with his elder brother Liu Lei.

Liu Lei had much more influence in the Liu family, and Liu Tian felt he had little chance of winning.

Glancing at Liu Lei, Liu Tian’s eyes sparked with anger.

Yang Wei looked bewildered at the mourning family and the body in the living room. Last night he had shared drinks with the old man, and though he saw a great disaster in his future, Liu Qingfeng’s situation seemed to have improved recently.

Yang Wei hadn’t expected the old man to die suddenly. He felt no sorrow, as they weren’t close, but regretted that his path to rising was now blocked.

When Jiang Che arrived, the living room was filled with Liu family members.

“Young Master Jiang, you’re here…” Seeing Jiang Che, Liu Lei forced a smile, beginning their act.

“Sigh… I always respected Old Master Liu, and I admired him greatly. It’s a pity I didn’t get to know him better before he passed,” Jiang Che sighed, looking very sad.
