Chapter 30 - eting , Li Nan Ke, Is Your Greatest Misfortune!
A ghostly chill perated the quiet room.
Li Nan Ke continued to hold i Xing Er's hand, feeling its coldness and her fear.
"The person who resurrected He Qing Yu is you, i Xing Er," Li Nan Ke said calmly.
"Logically, after killing He Qing Yu, you would have inner demons and psychological trauma. But you're different from Wan Ying Ying and Lin Jiao Yue.
Wan Ying Ying and Lin Jiao Yue didn't have much sisterly affection for Wen Jin Er.
After personally killing her friend, Wan Ying Ying had already suffered a ntal breakdown. That's why she was killed by the Nightmare in the Red Rain dream.
Although Lin Jiao Yue is ruthless, she's still young. After witnessing such a brutal scene, it would be absurd to say she wasn't traumatized.
Therefore, she inevitably encountered a Nightmare as well.
But she was smart enough to always keep herself safe and managed to escape the danger.
But you, i Xing Er, why weren't you affected by a Nightmare?"
Faced with the man's question, i Xing Er's lips trembled in anguish. She looked at him blankly, as if she had lost her soul.
Li Nan Ke answered for her.
"Because He Qing Yu was the man you once deeply loved. If it weren't for Lin Jiao Yue, you would have even been willing to die with him.
Killing He Qing Yu would only make you feel more guilty, more self-bla, more pain... but it wouldn't make you fear him because he was the man you loved most.
No matter what you did, he wouldn't bla you.
I even dare say that after your daughter married into the Prince's residence, you would have chosen to commit suicide and join him in the afterlife.
Because you already had suicidal thoughts, you couldn't possibly have inner demons!"
Hearing the man's answer, i Xing Er burst into tears again, sobbing uncontrollably, as if she wanted to cry her heart out.
This was the most painful decision of her life.
She wished it was all just a dream.
Li Nan Ke looked at her without any sympathy.
"Now, can you tell , did you intentionally resurrect He Qing Yu, or was it unintentional?"
The beautiful woman cried for a long ti before saying with a choked voice.
"You're right. After killing Qing Yu, I had suicidal thoughts. Because I owed him too much. Life is too bitter; it would be better to join him in death.
But I still had my daughter to take care of. I just hoped that after everything was over, Yue Er wouldn't do anything foolish and would just wait peacefully to beco a princess.
After killing Qing Yu, I couldn't sleep peacefully. Every ti I closed my eyes, I saw his face.
I thought about our past, wondering if his soul was by my side, waiting for to join him on the road to the underworld.
It was the night of the sixth of eighth. I still couldn't sleep and my heart was pounding, so I put so 'Red Conch' in my tea, hoping it would help calm down. Lord Leng, as an official of the Night Patrol, do you know how many people are secretly consuming drugs containing 'Red Rain'?"
i Xing Er looked at Leng Xinnan with tear-filled eyes.
Leng Xinnan's face was cold, and she didn't answer. This was a question she couldn't and didn't dare to answer.
After all, from the very beginning, 'Red Rain' was considered a divine dicine.
As long as the dosage was controlled, 'Red Rain' wouldn't cause harm and could actually benefit the human body.
But the question was, could everyone control the dosage?
Initially, so officials in the imperial court suggested modifying 'Red Rain' into a beneficial dicine for the people, strictly controlled and regulated by the governnt.
However, all proposed solutions failed.
Because once a loophole was opened, countless uncontrollable risks would surge forth, impossible to contain.
It was a double-edged sword.
Since it couldn't be used properly, it was better to keep it hidden.
After careful consideration, the imperial court finally decided to ban the trade of 'Red Rain.'
But in secret, people still bought it.
After all, it was indeed a miracle drug.
Like the dicine shop that Iron Ox raided earlier, according to the interrogation, more than sixty or seventy people from the county and other places had bought Red Conch from there in recent years.
Except for Old Qin, none of those who had consud it before had any problems.
Why?
Because people were afraid of death, they were cautious and didn't dare to consu too much, and the dicine shops didn't dare to sell too much either.
But just because there were no problems now didn't an there wouldn't be any in the future.
Old Qin was the perfect example.
"I might have been too tired at that ti and accidentally put in a bit too much Red Conch. That's why I 'resurrected' Qing Yu in the Red Rain dream," i Xing Er said with a bitter expression.
"I didn't know at first. It was Yue Er who found out and angrily confronted .
She's very smart. She knew that only I could 'resurrect' Qing Yu and thought that I still had feelings for him and deliberately resurrected my lover, but I really didn't do it intentionally.
And I didn't know where 'resurrected' Qing Yu went. But knowing his personality, he probably hid himself, not wanting to see us."
"So you accidentally 'resurrected' He Qing Yu."
Leng Xinnan frowned slightly, feeling a sense of wonder.
This was fate, preventing Lin Jiao Yue's plan from being perfectly executed.
Li Nan Ke was silent for a mont and then said calmly, "He Qing Yu's 'resurrection' disrupted all of Lin Jiao Yue's plans.
Of course, she knew that it was her mother who 'resurrected' He Qing Yu. She even thought that Madam Lin had hidden him, afraid that her daughter would personally kill her father.
It was also at this ti that Lin Jiao Yue truly developed the intention to kill her mother!
Once a person steps into the abyss, there's no turning back.
At this point, after killing her friend and He Qing Yu, Lin Jiao Yue was on the verge of a ntal breakdown.
This 'breakdown' drove her into a state of delusion.
Because in her eyes, Madam Lin was an incompetent fool who was always ssing things up! She was too kind and soft-hearted, incapable of achieving great things, and would beco a burden.
But after all, she was her loving mother, so Lin Jiao Yue was still conflicted.
However, with our arrival, this girl keenly sensed that things were developing in a direction she couldn't control. If she hesitated any longer, all her previous efforts would be wasted!
Therefore, she decided to take the risk and execute the final step of her plan."
Li Nan Ke paused here, giving everyone ti to digest the information.
He handed his empty teacup to Xiang Er, signaling her to refill it, but Leng Xinnan intercepted it and personally poured tea for Li Nan Ke, like a maid.
This scene made Iron Ox and the others feel uncomfortable.
Li Nan Ke didn't mind. Feeling a bit hungry, he saw ng Xiao Tu sitting on the table and walked over.
Without asking for permission, he took a carrot from under her skirt and started eating.
It was quite sweet, actually.
ng Xiao Tu's eyes widened, and her face flushed red. She was about to lash out when she saw Sister Leng looking at her. She then pouted with grievance, her eyes reddening.
Li Nan Ke realized he had gone too far and quickly put the carrot back, apologizing.
"Ahem, then I'll continue," he said, pretending not to notice the murderous look in the young woman's eyes. He straightened his back and resud his explanation.
"What was Lin Jiao Yue's final plan? It was the Demonic Creature!
Although I ntioned earlier that a Demonic Creature had appeared in Yun City, which is the closest city to Dongqi County, that was still Yun City. If it were caught, the Night Patrol would realize that the Demonic Creature that attacked Lin Jiao Yue and her friends wasn't the one from Yun City.
If it wasn't the Demonic Creature from Yun City, then a new Demonic Creature had appeared in Dongqi County.
This was no small matter.
Therefore, the Night Patrol would definitely increase their manpower and start searching everywhere.
But if, after a long ti, they couldn't find any trace of the Demonic Creature, do you think the Night Patrol would suspect that Lin Jiao Yue was lying?"
They would definitely be suspicious!
Everyone ca to the sa conclusion in their minds.
Li Nan Ke snapped his fingers. "So Lin Jiao Yue's final plan was to create a Demonic Creature!
This Demonic Creature couldn't be just anyone. It had to have a reason to attack Wen Jin Er and the others and also harbor resentnt towards the Lin family. So who would be the most suitable candidate?
That's right, Old Qin!
Most importantly, Old Qin lived in a dilapidated house in ruins with no neighbors around, and because of his leg injury, he couldn't go out. No one would notice her.
Moreover, there was a shortcut between Old Qin's house and the Lin residence. Lin Jiao Yue could easily monitor him throughout the day, ensuring there were no problems."
Li Nan Ke looked at i Xing Er.
"The day after we left, Lin Jiao Yue asked you to take a small jar of wine to Old Qin, didn't she?"
i Xing Er nodded with difficulty. "Yes."
"That jar of wine was laced with a large amount of Red Conch, right?"
"...Yes."
The beautiful woman, with tears still staining her face, said in anguish, "Yue Er promised that this was the last ti. She swore she would never harm anyone again."
Li Nan Ke sneered. "Old Qin resented Lin Jiao Yue, her friends, and the Lin family, but as Landlord Lin said, this resentnt wouldn't have driven him to kill.
Old Qin was a man of integrity. At that ti, Landlord Lin and the Wan family offered him a lot of money to stop pursuing the matter, but Old Qin refused, only wanting to clear his na.
Such a person wouldn't turn himself into a Demonic Creature.
Rember, the prerequisite for becoming a Demonic Creature is consuming a large amount of Red Rain.
No matter how foolish or stupid Old Qin was, he wouldn't eat all the Red Conch in all those dicines.
Everyone has weaknesses.
Old Qin's weakness was alcohol, as Landlord Lin ntioned.
Madam Lin brought wine to apologize. Although Old Qin wouldn't forgive the Lin family and wouldn't give up seeking justice, he still accepted the wine.
Especially since Madam Lin has a good reputation in the Lin residence, Old Qin must have respected her. If he had given her the cold shoulder when she personally brought wine to apologize, it would have been quite rude.
So, after Madam Lin left, he happily drank the wine.
He drank... the jar of wine laced with a large amount of Red Conch. In the end, he transford into a Demonic Creature, the one we encountered."
"I see," Leng Xinnan said, tapping her head.
"No wonder it felt strange. I'm so stupid."
Li Nan Ke continued, "Old Qin, transford into a Demonic Creature, ca to the Lin residence and was coincidentally encountered by us. And Lin Jiao Yue, at that ti, identified Old Qin as the Demonic Creature that attacked them.
But while we were dealing with the aftermath, where did Miss Lin go?
Caiyun and Caiyue were supposed to be with her, but because Lord Leng was injured, the two girls rushed over to check on you, giving Lin Jiao Yue the opportunity to leave the Lin residence.
She used the shortcut to quickly reach Old Qin's house and took away the wine jar and the cloth used to seal it.
However, she forgot this!"
Li Nan Ke took out a hemp rope.
This was what he had found under the threshold of Old Qin's house, the rope used to seal the wine jar.
"Maybe she didn't forget it, but she couldn't find it at that ti and didn't have enough ti to search carefully," Li Nan Ke chuckled.
"Actually, I admire that girl's courage. If the Demonic Creature Old Qin had suddenly returned ho at that ti, she would have been in trouble.
Fortunately, she was lucky.
To mislead us, she even deliberately left the prepared dried at and moldy sweet potatoes on the ground.
This final plan was successfully executed.
I believe that if we hadn't given her a sense of crisis, she would have had enough ti to do it better, instead of carrying out the plan so hastily and taking such risks.
But what I want to say is that Lin Jiao Yue had another purpose in this plan: to kill Madam Lin!"
Boom—
As Li Nan Ke's words fell, a storm surged in everyone's hearts.
i Xing Er was devastated.
Although Li Nan Ke had ntioned earlier that Lin Jiao Yue had murderous intentions towards Madam Lin, it was just a thought at that ti.
But now, seeing it put into action, she truly realized the girl's ruthlessness and cold-bloodedness.
She had beco a demon.
This girl had truly beco a demon.
"After Old Qin transford into a Demonic Creature, he beca violent and bloodthirsty, but he still retained a shred of sanity. This sanity told him that the reason he beca a Demonic Creature was because of that jar of wine.
Who brought the wine?
Madam Lin!
The kind Madam Lin whom he had always respected!
Therefore, all his resentnt was directed towards Madam Lin.
This is also why Lin Jiao Yue had Madam Lin personally deliver the wine. And to prevent Madam Lin from running away, she even drugged her tea with Drunken Immortal Peach, waiting for Old Qin to co for revenge!
Xiang Er told that Lin Jiao Yue and Madam Lin had an argunt this morning, and after a while, Madam Lin felt unwell and rested in her room.
Why did they argue?
Because this was Lin Jiao Yue's last chance for Madam Lin.
She wanted Madam Lin to hand over He Qing Yu, but Madam Lin 'refused,' so she finally resorted to drastic asures.
But Lin Jiao Yue didn't expect that Madam Lin would miraculously survive by hiding in the secret tunnel.
Man proposes, but God disposes!
It was at this mont that all of Lin Jiao Yue's carefully laid plans completely crumbled!"
Li Nan Ke finished speaking and let out a long, heavy sigh.
‘Lin Jiao Yue, oh Lin Jiao Yue, eting , Li Nan Ke, is the greatest misfortune of your life.’
‘No matter how deep and unfathomable you are, I've easily seen through you.’
‘Escape?’
‘Escape my ass!’
