Zhong Kui's Diary
Us?
Do we have to hide it from them?
Luo Yun What do you mean by that? Is all of this the doing of Ma Zhenkai and Luo Yun?
As soon as Ma Zhenkai heard this, he shouted angrily, "Wife, what nonsense are you talking about?"
"Nonsense? After so many years in the Ma Family, what have I said that is nonsense? Every word I say has your approval. Since they already know about the ghosts, I don't want to hide it anymore. Isn't this what you wanted me to do?" Luo Yun cried out hoarsely, "Zhenkai, I don't care what you do outside, but you shouldn't be involved with Shaohua. I really can't take it anymore! I can't take it anymore!"
"Are you crazy?" Ma Zhenkai exploded in anger, pointing at Luo Yun and shouting, "If you keep this up, I'll hit you!"
"You still want to hit me? Come on, go ahead and hit me!" Luo Yun shouted back.
Ma Zhenkai finally couldn't hold back any longer. He swung his arm and gave a hard slap, sending Luo Yun spinning around before she fell to the ground. She sat up immediately, surprisingly not crying, but staring wide-eyed at Ma Zhenkai, with a clear handprint on her face.
"I'm warning you, stop talking nonsense!" Ma Zhenkai pointed at Luo Yun, then turned to me, his face alternating between red and white. "Zheng Nan, you don't believe her, do you?"
"That's something you need to ask yourself!"
When Luo Yun revealed Ma Zhenkai, I was already calculating the strengths of both sides. Even if Xi Shaohua is the top expert of the Ma Family, he would at most be on par with Kong Xuan. The two of us should be able to handle the four in front of us without issue. Besides, I still have a gun in my Mustard Seed Pendant.
This gun may not work on ghosts, but it will definitely work on you.
Ma Zhenkai let out a bitter laugh and turned to Xi Shaohua, saying, "Shaohua, don't take this to heart."
Unexpectedly, Xi Shaohua frowned and shouted, "Ma Zhenkai, I have been with you without any titles because I admire your elegance, but I never expected you to be this kind of person, actually hitting a woman."
Hearing Xi Shaohua's words, Ma Zhenkai's face turned even paler. "Shaohua, what do you mean by that?"
"It means nothing. Your wife is still on the ground!" Xi Shaohua coldly looked at Ma Zhenkai.
Luo Yun finally sat on the ground and began to cry loudly. "Ma Zhenkai, how could you be so heartless? I've followed you for over ten years, and this is how you treat me!"
Kong Xuan and I exchanged glances, both feeling incredulous. It wasn't surprising that Ma Zhenkai was the culprit; what was surprising was that Luo Yun chose this moment to expose him.
Never offend a woman, a thought suddenly popped into my head.
Luo Yun seemed to be losing her mind as she sat on the ground crying hoarsely, occasionally wiping her tears. "Ma Zhenkai, I finally see through you. I'm going to reveal everything."
"Shut up, you shameless woman!" Ma Zhenkai said as he approached to kick Luo Yun.
I was about to step in to stop him when a figure flashed by. With a crack, the figure swiftly knocked Ma Zhenkai to the ground and stepped on his throat. Suddenly, Ma Zhenkai couldn't move or even speak. The person was none other than Xi Shaohua, the top expert of the Ma Family.
After subduing Ma Zhenkai, Xi Shaohua turned to Luo Yun and said, "Sister-in-law, since Zheng Nan and the others are here, just reveal everything about Ma Zhenkai!"
Luo Yun's face bore red marks from slaps. She touched her face and became even angrier, pointing at Ma Zhenkai and shouting, "Let me tell you, ever since I found out you were with Shaohua, I have completely lost hope. Today I'm going all out; I must reveal the truth. You orchestrated everything behind the scenes because Du Weidong and his friends saw your relationship with Shaohua. Afraid of being found out by Dad, you used ghosts to kill Du Weidong and his friends. To be safe, you even made me contact those ghosts so that if anyone suspected anything, they would only suspect me. You planned all of this! It was all you! Ma Zhenkai!"
Luo Yun became more agitated and eventually stood up to kick Ma Zhenkai twice with all her might. Ma Xingrui hurriedly pulled her back and advised, "Sister-in-law, calm down!"
"Calmly?" Luo Yun shouted at Ma Xingrui, "Do you know that Wen Li was also killed by him? After killing Wen Li, he could send Chen Fei'er to Zhou Xiaoping, because Zhou Xiaoping works at the insurance company and has no one at home, so she would naturally take Chen Fei'er to Baisheng Building. At that point, he would send ghosts to kill Du Weidong and the others who witnessed him."
Upon hearing this, Ma Xingrui trembled all over, released Luo Yun, and asked in a trembling voice, "Is this true?"
Luo Yun cried out, "At this point, do I still need to lie to you?"
Ma Xingrui was instantly enraged, kicking Ma Zhenkai fiercely and cursing, "Ma Zhenkai, you actually caused the deaths of Ali and Fei'er! You beast!"
This time it was my turn to step forward and pull Ma Xingrui away; kicking like that could very well kill him, and I still had questions to ask.
"Zheng Nan, I won't hide it from you anymore. Last time I called the Pearl of the Sea to help you call a sister; it was also me who asked them to remind you that Du Weidong and the others witnessed Ma Zhenkai with Xi Shaohua." Luo Yun seemed to know what I wanted to find out and sobbed as she said to me, "For this reason, I even copied a SIM card from Ma Zhenkai."
No wonder there were so many phones in her handbag; one was for contacting Liu Zihao, and another was to impersonate Ma Zhenkai when calling Sister Mei. I cleared my throat and asked Luo Yun, "Then why didn't you just tell me the truth directly? Why go around in circles making it so mysterious?"
"If I had come out from the beginning, would you have believed me? Besides, all of this was driven by him using ghosts. What if he controlled the ghosts to kill me when you confronted me? I heard you were going to have dinner with Liu Zihao, so I notified that ghost to find you. I could only hope that you would kill that ghost before I dared to reveal the truth!" Although Luo Yun's words made sense, I still felt something was off.
Damn it, if it weren't for Easily Water Cold arriving in time, I might have been killed by a ghost; this woman isn't exactly a good person either.
Looking at Kong Xuan, he shrugged at me as if to say he had no opinions to express. He then cleared his throat and said, "Since that's the case, the rest is your family matter; we won't get involved. Goodbye."
Just as they were about to leave, Ma Xingrui hurriedly grabbed me: "Zheng Nan, you can't leave yet; I need to trouble you with something."
"Uh?" I looked at him sideways.
"I'm going to call my uncle, who is also Ma Zhenkai's father, Ma Xiao, and explain everything. I also need your help as a witness!" Ma Xingrui forced a smile and said, "Without your testimony, Ma Xiao definitely won't believe our side of the story. He might even think I'm instigating them to do this. At that point, no matter how much I talk, it won't clear my name."
Upon hearing this reason, I could accept it. I followed Ma Xingrui and others to the fourth floor via the elevator. The group entered the conference room and took their seats, while Ma Xingrui kept making phone calls, seemingly contacting various elders of the Ma Family.
Ma Zhenkai sat in a chair, staring silently at the Flower Board.
During this time, Fatty called me. The situation over there had been mostly handled, and I told him to return to the hotel first; we would come back shortly.
It was merely a matter of witnessing; how long could it take?
About half an hour later, seven or eight people entered one after another. Among them were two elderly men in their sixties, while the rest were middle-aged individuals in their forties, each finding a place to sit. The last to enter was a Browed Old Man, whose eyes sparkled with intensity, exuding an imposing presence without anger.
As soon as he entered, he looked towards Ma Zhenkai. A fleeting look of concern crossed his face before he snorted and walked directly to the front seat.
An old man with gray hair cleared his throat and said, "Everyone is here!"
"Xingrui, what’s going on?" The thick-browed elder waved his hand casually at Ma Xingrui.
Hearing this, Ma Xingrui called out "Uncle," indicating that this person was indeed Ma Xiao.
Next, Ma Xingrui recounted the entire incident. When he reached Wen Li and Chen Fei'er, his tone remained calm and indifferent, as if discussing someone else's affairs.
"Zhenkai! Do you have anything to say?" Ma Xiao shouted sternly at Ma Zhenkai.
Ma Zhenkai looked despondent and surprisingly said nothing, only shaking his head.
He had actually given up on defending himself; perhaps he felt that no matter what he said, it would be futile. From an observer's perspective, everything Ma Zhenkai had done left no evidence behind. If he denied everything outright, the elders of the Ma Family could do nothing to him. His behavior was indeed somewhat strange.
Was it the accusation from Xi Shaohua that left him feeling like cold ashes? Could it be that Ma Zhenkai was still a romantic at heart? Thinking of the term "romantic," I couldn't help but let out a bitter laugh, pondering what love truly is, that it leads people to pledge their lives to one another.
Ma Xiao, seeing Ma Zhenkai's expression, became even angrier and turned to me, asking bluntly, "Who are you?"
"My name is Zhong Zhengnan!"
"You are Zhong Zhengnan?" Ma Xiao was slightly taken aback, likely recalling some past events. His expression became somewhat awkward as he cleared his throat and asked, "Can you prove that what you said about Xingrui is true?"
"Yes!" I nodded.
With my confirmation, the next step was for the elders of the Ma Family to discuss how to deal with Ma Zhenkai. The final decision was that Ma Zhenkai would be expelled, and Ma Xiao would relinquish his position as the head of the Ma Family due to his failure in raising his son.
What surprised me was that the position of head of the Ma Family would temporarily be held by Ma Xingrui. How ironic! Not long ago, Ma Xingrui had nearly been expelled by Ma Xiao over issues related to women, and now it was reversed—Ma Zhenkai was expelled for similar reasons while Ma Xingrui became the head of the family.
Kong Xuan and I had long wanted to leave. The meeting of the Ma Family had nothing to do with us, but seeing how heated their discussions were made it difficult to excuse ourselves. Finally, once everything settled down, Kong Xuan and I approached Ma Xingrui to offer our congratulations before taking our leave.
