Chapter 436: Long Yi's Downfall Part 2

"CRASH!"

Huang Li Duo clutched his chest just after he threw the glass of whiskey towards the wall. His breathing shallow and fast as he glared at Long Yi on the TV.

Right now, Long Yi was actually on the floor pleading for him to forgive him! "I will kill him!"

"Father, calm down! It's not worth it!" His son immediately held his arm. "This man… he will receive his own punishment soon."

"I am going to kill that man! I am going to kill him! He took your sister away from us! He killed her!"

"Father! Relax! Just… please calm down. We can't act rashly. This is what Long Yi wanted. He wanted to make us angry. He wanted us to lose control so we would hurt him, I am certain he was already planning to make us the bad guy. This man… He is vicious and scheming. We should be very careful."

"Shut up! Your sister is already dead, and you are still acting like this? Long Yi killed Huang Xiaoxuan! He needed to die!" Huang Li Duo stood from the sofa, wanting to leave the room, but his son immediately stopped him.

"If you do this now, Xiaoxuan would never get the justice she deserved!"

The word justice made Huang Li Duo paused. Justice…. Justice….

It echoed inside his head, making him stop moving. That's right, this was the law's justice. Everything that was happening to him now was something that was caused by his previous actions. This was Karma. He hurt his father and brother because of greed. As a punishment, he was forced to watch her daughter suffer because of Long Yi until she finally died. And he wasn't able to stop it.

He wasn't able to save his daughter.

He knew Long Yi didn't love her. He knew that Long Yi never liked her. But he agreed to her request. At first, he thought it was because he was spoiling his daughter, it was because he loved her too much, he couldn't say no to anything that she wanted.

That was wrong.

If he truly loved Xiaoxuan, then he never would have agreed in this marriage. If he truly loved his daughter, he would have immediately suggested that she leave him the first time that she went home with huge dark bags under her eyes. If he truly loved his daughter, he wouldn't have thought about the benefits that would stop once Long Yi and Xiaoxuan divorced.

No. What Huang Li Duo loved was his own selfish self.

Huang Li Duo started shaking. He clenched his hands into two tight fists as he closed his eyes. Tears slowly made their way down his cheeks and onto his chin.

When Huang Li Duo heard that they found Xiaoxuan's body, he didn't cry. He was angry, furious; he felt like killing people. But he didn't cry.

Right now, however, Huang Li Duo felt like everything came crashing down like a large boulder inside his chest. The realization was real, and it felt heavy, suffocating even.

"Father?"

Huang Li Duo held his son's arm. His shoulder started shaking as he lowered his head. Right now, he was no longer associated with Huang Security, he was about to lose his mansion and his money was running out because of his past debts. His father and brother were not by his side, his sister was in a mental facility, his wife was drunk in the other room and his daughter was dead.

This was his karma.

"Mr. Long… what can you say about the videos that appeared just now? Isn't this the CCTV in your house? You said Miss Huang never went to your house, but it was clear that she arrived when you were there. Was this video fake?"

"Mr. Long another video was showing us that our people put a huge carpet in the back of a car a few minutes after Miss Huang arrived. How could you act like this in front of the media? Clearly, you knew Miss Huang was there!"

"Mr. Long! Mr. Long! Please answer our question."

"Mr. Long… Please answer our question!"

The chaos on the live broadcast brought the father and son's attention back to the TV. They stared at it, wide—eyed.

"Check your phone," Huang Li Duo said, and his son complied.

"This— "

"What is it?" Huang LI Duo asked, his gaze never once left Long Yi who was now escorted by his people out of the room. Reporters still followed them, hoping that he would answer one of their questions.

"Mr. Long… are you really innocent?"

"Mr. Long, did you kill your wife?"

"Mr. Long!"

"Mr. Long! Please— "

"Mr. Long!"

"Father, look!" Huang Zi Yan showed his phone to his father. "Someone released a CCTV of Long Yi's house!"

When Huang Li Duo saw the video, he couldn't help but cry. More tears stream down his face. He didn't know if he was crying because they finally have a piece of evidence that could prove his daughter didn't kill herself. Or he was crying because he saw the last moments of his daughter's life.

He held his son's phone, his hands shaking as he put it in his chest.

Karma.

This was his Karma.

Seeing his daughter walked inside the house and never leaving was like being stabbed by an invisible knife.

"I'm sorry…" he managed to say in between the tears as his son comforted him. He didn't even know if he was saying sorry to himself, to his father, brother, or his daughter. All he knew was the fact that everything happened because he was too greedy.

He wanted more.

He was never contented.

"Leave me." Huang Li Duo said as she slowly gave the phone back to Huang Zi Yan. When he saw his son's hesitation to leave, he repeated his words. "Leave me alone!"

"But..." For some reason, Huang Zi Yan thought that his father was about to do something dangerous. "Father... please don't take matters into your own hands. We already have the evidence we can- "

"Leave me alone!"

Left with no choice, Huang Zi Yan clenched his jaw before he nodded and left. He looked at his father's defeated face before he closed the door behind him.

After taking a few steps, he stopped and stared at the door, his gaze darkened. Then he calmly turned around and walked towards his room. However, before he could open his door, he heard a loud gunshot coming from his father's office.

Huang Zi Yan stilled, his heart hammered against his chest as he ran back to the room. He opened the door... then he paled and yelled for help.
