"Uh!" At the moment of leaving, Liang Siji abruptly stopped, turned back, and asked, " Miss Liu, is there anything else?"
"Hehe! It seems that Lord Liang didn't quite understand what I meant earlier. I don't mind explaining it to you. As everyone has seen, from the time the incident occurred to when Lord Liang appeared, it was less than a minute. It would take more than a minute to rush over from Lord Liang's residence by carriage, right? How did you arrive so promptly?"
Liang Siji's heart skipped a beat, sinking like a stone: "I just happened to be nearby attending to some matters and arrived quickly."
"Alright, even if your explanation is correct, after you arrived, you didn't listen to our explanations at all. You kept insisting that someone died here and demanded a life for a life. Can you really claim to be fair and just in this situation?
I felt nothing but pressure from you the entire time. What? Now that the facts prove there’s no issue, you want to leave just like that? What about my mental anguish and damage to my reputation?"
"I see that all of this was arranged by you behind the scenes. Is it because you can't stand seeing our Ten Li Pu's Construction Team becoming more popular? Is it because it threatens your position? After thinking it through, in Biqi Town, only you have such motives."
Liu Qingxi's analysis caused an uproar among the crowd. Could it really be true?
"Lord Liang doesn't seem like that kind of person!"
"But Miss Liu has a point. We were so angry just now because we listened to Lord Liang's words, right?" The people weren't fools; having been misled earlier, they now realized there were indeed issues.
The biggest problem was Lord Liang himself.
"You’re slandering me!"
"Hehe, you know best whether I'm slandering or not. Since I can say such things, I have enough evidence to prove that you deliberately sabotaged us. You sent people to undermine the foundations of our construction, leading to its collapse, and then framed us for it to drive us back to Ten Li Pu. Am I wrong?"
"Right!" Uh, Liang Siji swallowed hard and quickly changed the subject: "What do you mean by right? Everything is just your speculation. Why should a senior like me argue with a young girl like you?"
"Whether it's worth arguing about is best known by those involved. I believe the eyes of the public are sharp; we still need the big kid to uncover the truth without wronging any good person or letting any bad person go."
" Miss Liu is right; we will testify." Suddenly, more than half of the people switched sides and stood with Liu Qingxi.
Even if Liang Siji wanted to leave now, it was impossible.
On a street two miles away from where Boss Qian was constructing a building, two men—one fat and one thin, one tall and one short—smiled as they looked at the silver in their hands. They bit into it suddenly, leaving clear teeth marks on its surface.
"Hehehe, genuine silver; this sound is nice," said the fat man.
"Of course! Liang Siji and that Ren Qiangsheng are both wealthy people; giving us this much is nothing."
The two individuals were none other than the leaders among those hired by Ren Qiangsheng and Liang Siji, who had just received their payment and were preparing to head back to divide it when someone suddenly patted them on the shoulder from behind.
"Who is it? What do you want?" One of them, a muscular man towering over the others, swallowed hard and asked, "What’s going on?"
Shouldn't you try not to stutter? It sounds pretty cowardly, doesn't it?
The newcomer was none other than Liu Yi, the head of the Liu Family Guards, sent by Liu Qingxi to find these gunmen hired by Liang Siji. "Please come with me."
"We won't," the words got stuck in their throats as the other party grabbed them by their arms and effortlessly lifted them off the ground, dragging them back without a moment's pause.
"Who are you? What do you want from us?"
Liu Yi sneered at the two cowards. "Think carefully about what you've done. You better tell me the truth later, or else?"
He tightened his grip slightly, causing their shoulder bones to be crushed in his hands. The excruciating pain shot through them, prompting both to scream out, "Ah! It hurts, easy on us!"
Liu Yi remained silent, increasing his strength slightly. The pain intensified, and they quickly begged for mercy. "We’ll tell the truth! Please ease up a bit!"
Liu Yi dropped them to the ground, snorting coldly. "Think carefully."
Only then did they realize that this man was actually the target they had set up. They instinctively shrank back, knowing that being confronted like this was serious business.
Moreover, he exuded an aura and subtle dominance that far surpassed Liang Siji and Ren Qiangsheng; he was clearly on a different level.
Regret flooded their hearts; they wished they had never been tempted by such a large sum of money if it meant crossing paths with someone like Liu Yi.
But what good was regret now?
"Um... can we talk this over? Big brother, could you let us go?"
Liu Yi replied coldly, "It depends on how you behave next. Otherwise, we will hand you over to the authorities for attempted robbery and murder."
The heavier-set man waved his hands frantically as if trying to disperse smoke. "No, no! Please don’t do that! We swear we’ll tell everything we know!"
Meanwhile, at the construction site ahead, Liang Siji was still entangled in a stubborn argument with Liu Qingxi, unwilling to admit his mistakes. He was confident that the other party wouldn’t find any witnesses. But was it really so?
When the two individuals, one fat and one thin, approached him, followed by a strong man with a full beard, Liang Siji swallowed the words he was about to argue.
"You two, what exactly is going on?" Liu Qingxi asked in front of everyone.
The fat man, fearing he would be taken away to jail, immediately began to explain from the beginning.
It turned out that Liang Siji was jealous of Liu Qingxi's abilities. To regain his former position, he bribed a few of his fat brother's friends to secretly observe the construction progress. When they saw that the houses near the water were starting to be built, he took action on a dark and windy night.
He waited for the second incident to occur, then Liang Siji would step in and cut off all of Liu Qingxi's escape routes, driving them away. If he could get them imprisoned, that would be even better.
Thus, the events of today unfolded.
"I guarantee everything I said is true! Oh! By the way!" The fat man suddenly slapped his forehead. "There’s someone who can testify—one of your Construction Team members."
"Lord Liang, all the evidence is here. Do you have any more excuses?"
Liang Siji slumped down; all his plans were doomed to be exposed when the fat and thin men appeared.
"Ah! So it was all designed by Lord Liang?"
"What Lord Liang? Does he deserve that title? A man of such size should be old enough to be Miss Liu's grandfather and still dares to do such despicable things. It's simply a disgrace to Biqi Town."
