Faced with the waves of questioning that came rushing towards him, Situ Lingyun was enraged. Following his usual behaviour, whoever dared to disobey him, would be killed without question. However, he also knew that this was a new era, and he couldn't just use martial arts to kill people. Moreover, there were so many people here that he couldn't kill them all.
The reason why Situ Lingyun schemed against him and imprisoned him for twenty-five years was because he had done so intentionally. Firstly, he wanted Situ Renyi to continue using despicable methods to increase the strength of his Situ Family. Secondly, he could also cultivate in seclusion at the bottom of the well. Now that he had achieved his goal, he naturally did not need Situ Renyi anymore.
It was just that, with such a sinister intention, he naturally could not speak the truth. Facing everyone's doubts, he needed a lie to pacify the masses, and he knew that if he did not handle it well, he would cause the entire Situ Family to collapse. He then looked at the people with a pained expression and said slowly: "Everyone, to be honest, my younger brother Situ Renyi and my nephew Situ Xiong are already dead."
Once he said this, everyone was shocked and shocked again. They hurriedly asked, "Ah, what's going on?"
Situ Ruolan also asked anxiously: "What nonsense are you spouting, what is going on? Who killed my grandfather and my father? "
Situ Lingyun knew that he had to find a scapegoat, and as for who this guy was trying to find, he naturally had to consider it carefully.
The first was Lin Family because, as everyone knew, some time ago, a malicious incident had occurred between Lin Family and Situ Family. Until now, the third generation successors of both families had all been locked up, and this was a very good excuse.
The second candidate was Ye Haochen. Although Situ Lingyun had never interacted with him before, he could guess that the person who covered his face that night was Ye Haochen. He knew that Ye Haochen was one of his strong opponents. Furthermore, that brat had indeed drained all of Situ Renyi's Qi, and it wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that he was the culprit.
Even more importantly, he understood that Ye Haochen had an extraordinary relationship with the Xiao Family of the Jiang Prefecture First's large families. If Ye Haochen was brought out, it would be a huge blow to his Xiao Family and as a result, the position of his Situ Family was even more stable.
Who exactly was he looking for as a scapegoat? Just at this moment, Situ Lingyun thought again and again, and decided to just send both sides out. Since the deaths of Situ Renyi and his son Situ Xiong were a heavy bomb, why not make good use of them?
He then continued with seriousness: "I can tell you, the culprit is a demon called Ye Haochen who killed my brother Situ Renyi. The brothers Lin Zhenjie and Lin Zhenye who killed Situ Xiong, and I suspect that these two sides were colluding with each other to destroy our Situ Family."
When these words came out, it once again caused an uproar, no one suspected anything, after all, the killers that Situ Lingyun was talking about, were all extremely likely, especially the people from the Lin Family. Not long ago, their two great families had even had an accident.
As for Ye Haochen, many people present had never heard of him, but Situ Ruolan knew that she did not suspect him at all. Gritting her teeth in hatred, she said, "It's Ye Haochen again, at Jiangzhou University New Year's Party, made my second brother lose face, and is now being held captive. Now, he actually killed my grandfather and father.
Situ Lingyun saw that his own lies had worked, and couldn't help but be overjoyed, and then said: "Everyone, since everyone knows this old man's true identity, now, our Situ Family cannot be so powerless, let us unite together, help each other out on a boat, and against Ye Haochen and Lin Family, this is the best policy.
If the interior of our Situ Family were to fall into disarray, the consequences would be unthinkable.
They knew that no matter who the Patriarch of the Situ Family was, they would not be the ones to be the leader. Now, with even higher people finally taking the lead, they were naturally willing to follow, and one after another called out to Situ Lingyun, willing to support him to become the Patriarch of the Situ Family, to support his son Situ Bo, and to manage the family business.
Although Daughter-in-law and his granddaughter Situ Ruolan were extremely unwilling, they could do nothing about it. Things had already come to this point. Their voices of resistance had long since been drowned out by the surrounding voices of support, so they could only dejectedly hide in the corner. It was already good enough that they weren't chased out of their homes by the old tutor.
Situ Lingyun is an extremely ambitious person, he naturally knows that at this time, he has yet to gain a deep understanding of the people's hearts, so he must be magnanimous and show kindness to others in order to attract them to him. He quickly continued, "Everyone, since everyone is willing to follow this old man, this old man will definitely help you with your welfare, and I declare that regardless of whether it is the direct line of descent or the side branch of blood, all of them will be promoted by one rank, and all of them have the right to participate in the management of the business of Situ Family.
When the surrounding people heard this, they all cheered for their old master. Situ Lingyun knew that he had achieved his goal and dispersed the crowd. But, he also knew that a scandal had also erupted in his Situ Family, it must have been caused by the Ninth Rank Chivalrous Person expert who fought with him last night. He had also heard the report from his family, saying that the shares of the pillar industry in his Situ Family had already fallen to the lowest point, and he could only do his best to recover the immeasurable loss of Situ Family.
Just now, within the crowd, other than the members of the Sikong Family, there were also some Media s. If they had obtained some information, they would definitely reveal it.
His son Situ Bo, who had always been standing beside him, did not have the ability to determine whether his father's words were true or false. It was just that he felt that his father now was an unfamiliar one, a completely different person from his father 20 years ago. However, he was indeed his own father.
Seeing that everyone had left, Situ Bo then asked softly: "Father, what you said just now is true?"
Situ Lingyun said in a low voice: "Nonsense, when have I ever lied?"
In the past, his father had indeed never lied, but now, Situ Bo did not dare make any promises.
Other than that, he couldn't understand his father's words when he said that Ye Haochen was the culprit who killed Situ Renyi. According to his understanding of Ye Haochen, that young man was bright and straightforward.
Of course, Patriarch Situ was not a good person either, but even so, Ye Haochen would not kill him so easily.
Moreover, Ye Haochen saved his daughter's life, and his daughter even had special feelings for him.
Situ Bo immediately said to his father: "Father, I presume you don't know, but our family has interacted with Ye Haochen to a certain degree, last time, your granddaughter Situ Ruoxue, was persecuted by an evil person, and almost lost her life on a cliff. Luckily Ye Haochen risked her life to save him, your granddaughter has been extremely grateful to him, and even had feelings for him, how could he be a murderer?"
Situ Lingyun slowly said: "My son, actually, father has long known about all that you have said. A few days ago, I was still at the bottom of the well, and I heard the conversation above.
Furthermore, I also know that a few days ago, Ye Haochen, that brat, used some kind of miraculous medical technique to cure a monkey blindness patient. But, my father didn't lie, he did indeed kill Situ Renyi.
Since his granddaughter has feelings for him, then I have a way to make him and my granddaughter have a relationship. Although he has become the murderer, this old man has a way to help him turn the tables on her, which means that whether he's willing to obediently become my grandson-in-law or not will depend on this old man's decision! "
How could his father be so scheming in the past? His father was truly a demon of the underworld, he still wanted to say something, but he only heard his father wave his hand at her and say, "Son, you don't need to worry. Your injuries are more important right now, come with me to the training room."
Situ Bo knew that he had no way of controlling the current situation. He wished that his father would still be the same as before and that he would be able to seek benefits for the people of Situ Family instead of stepping out of the martial arts world and bringing disaster to the world.
And at this time, the people from the Situ Family and the Media who had just participated quickly spread the news.
Lin Family had always been a stormy place, and now that there was such a huge scandal, the losses to Lin Family were incalculable.
At the same time, it had also dealt a huge blow to Ye Haochen.
At this moment, Ye Haochen was completely oblivious to the fact that he was still at the press conference for the [Goddess from the Stars] 's extermination ceremony. He was smoking as he stood in the crowd, looking at Sister Rhonan from afar.
It wasn't until noon that the press conference finished. Just as he was about to turn around and leave, he saw Sister Rhonan sneakily walking over. He then realized that Sister Rhonan had already discovered him.
In the past, meeting the Sister Rhonan was not so troublesome, but now, wherever the Sister Rhonan went, the Media would chase him down, so if they wanted to meet him, they would have to hide secretly. Holding hands, they ran at a brisk pace all the way out of Jiangzhou Shadow City, and only after climbing over a small hill did they finally settle down.
Wang Ruonan gasped for breath, but there was a smile on her face. She grabbed Ye Haochen's arm and laughed: "Big Brother Hao Chen, you ran so fast!"
"Hehe, I must have been born under the care of a rabbit in my previous life."
Wang Ruonan pursed her lips and laughed, "Aiya, how can you say you're a rabbit? Big Brother Hao Chen, thank you for coming to my green killing ceremony, did you know, after this movie was filmed, I was a little reluctant. It has been so long, it was fortunate that you supported me. "
The two of them sat behind a mound and chatted happily. While talking, Wang Ruonan blushed and lightly rested her head on Ye Haochen's chest. Looking around, there was no one around her.
Ye Haochen was worried that the Sister Rhonan would catch a cold, so he quickly took off his jacket and covered it up. Perhaps it was because he was moved, but Wang Ruonan mustered up the courage to open her mouth and kiss Ye Haochen.
