Immortality from plundering luck

Chapter 23 Doubt

It's getting late.

One mile away from the Blackwater Gang’s headquarters, in Situ Mansion.

Bang!
The mahogany chopping board in front of him was broken into five pieces by Situ He's fierce palm and fell to the ground.

His face was livid, and his eagle eyes were filled with anger. He looked at his subordinates kneeling on the ground in front of him, with anger surging all over his body.

"A bunch of rubbish! Who told you to go to Qinghe Valley?"

He looked at his subordinates who were kneeling on the ground and trembling all over.

"It's the young master..." One of them bravely tried to explain, but his voice was trembling and he couldn't continue.

"Tell me, what happened to the Master?!"

Situ He said angrily.

"The young master thought that with Master Zhou's help, the guy would be easily captured," the man swallowed and said carefully, "So, he took us to search Qinghe Valley to see if there was anything valuable."

"I didn't expect that the old guy would come back suddenly."

Situ He was stunned and instinctively wondered what valuable things there were in the Qinghe Valley.

Lan Er must have no shortage of ordinary gold and silver treasures. Then why did he go to Qinghe Valley? Could it be that he was looking for the secret book of Changchun Gong to give to me?

Thinking of this, Situ He felt even more sad and heartbroken.

He also knew Lan'er's temper and personality. To put it nicely, she was arrogant, and to put it bluntly, she looked down on others. These ordinary subordinates were only at the fourth or fifth level of the mortal realm. If Lan'er wanted to do something, how could they stop her?
"Can you see clearly, is this really Shi He?" Situ He still had some doubts.

"We subordinates saw it clearly, and the young master also said it was Elder Shi." The subordinates nodded one after another with a firm tone.

"Could it be that Zhou Yuan failed to stop him? But isn't Shi He still accompanied by Yuan Hongri's disciples? How did he come back so soon?"

A bunch of questions piled up in Situ He's mind.

But no matter what, what is certain now is that Shi He killed Lan'er!

With his hands clenched into fists, his nails dug deep into his palms, Situ He took a deep breath, suppressed his anger, looked at the group of subordinates on the ground, and said coldly:
"So, you just abandoned the young master's body and ran back in disgrace?"

"The young master has stayed there, and you subordinates, instead of thinking about collecting his body, are running away faster than the other."

Situ He stood up, a hint of murderous intent in his eyes: "The death penalty can be avoided, but the living crime cannot be escaped. Come, take them away and whip each of them 100 times!"

"Master, please spare my life, Master." A group of subordinates quickly raised their heads, looked at Situ He with horror, and kowtowed to beg for mercy.

They were all disciples of the Black Water Gang, and they all knew very well that these one hundred whips could easily take their lives.

"What are you hesitating about? Drag him away immediately!"

Situ He's face was gloomy and he shouted angrily.

A group of subordinates were dragged out of the door in despair. After a while, there were bursts of wailing and begging for mercy, as well as the sound of whips hitting flesh.

Soon, the wailing gradually subsided and finally returned to calm.

"Shihe!"

"If you kill Lan'er, you won't be able to live!" Situ He sat on a large carved chair, his face ashen and his expression gloomy. His five fingers were tightly grasping the handles, and veins on his arms were bulging.

"Brother, you have to avenge Lan'er!" Suddenly, a beautiful woman rushed in. Although this woman looked middle-aged, she was well maintained. She was wearing a black dress, which showed her charm.

The woman cried, with hatred and sadness in her eyes.

"Why are you crying?" Situ He felt upset when he heard the woman crying and couldn't help but scold her.

The woman looked at Situ He with resentment: "Brother, Lan'er is your own flesh and blood. Although he always calls you uncle, in his heart, he always regards you as his father."

After hearing this, Situ He's face froze, his anger subsided, and he sighed, "I know! Lan'er is filial, I know it in my heart."

As he spoke, he reached out his hand and gently stroked the woman's hair, saying wistfully, "I'm nearly sixty years old, and Lan'er is my only child. The Blackwater Gang and the Situ Family will give her away sooner or later. I didn't expect this to happen!"

"Shi He's time is coming, and he's desperate. He wants to bite anyone he sees. I wanted to give him a decent death. But I didn't expect Lan'er to..."

Situ He paused, murderous intent gradually emerged in his eyes: "Don't worry, I will make Shi He pay a heavy price!"

"Brother, didn't you ask Zhou Yuan to hunt down that old thief this morning? Why did the old thief come back and kill Lan'er when nothing happened to him?" The woman suddenly asked, her eyes full of suspicion and distrust as she thought of something.

"Do you suspect Brother Yuan?"

Situ He looked at the expression on the woman's face and knew that she was suspicious of Zhou Yuan, so he narrowed his eyes.
The woman's eyes were cold: "If Lan'er died, wouldn't Zhou Yuan be the biggest beneficiary? Who in the entire Situ family would be his opponent by then? I think we shouldn't have trained him in the first place. Now he is eyeing Lan'er's position and he also wants to seize the Situ family's property. Yes, it must be him, together with Shi He, who murdered Lan'er!"

"Otherwise, how could it be such a coincidence that the stone crane appeared just as Lan'er went to Qinghe Valley?"

Thinking of this, the woman became more and more convinced that her idea was correct, and she cursed loudly in excitement: "This beast is a traitor, big brother, you must put him in prison and torture him to death, so that he can protect Lan'er from disaster on his way to the underworld."

"enough!"

Listening to the woman's words, Situ He became upset and shouted angrily.

He took a deep breath, frowned and said, "I will question Brother Yuan when he comes back. If he is the one who murdered Lan'er, I will just shoot him to death, not to mention you! And I will deal with Shi He too. You go down and have a rest first."

"Brother, is this how you want to deal with that old thief?" the woman asked relentlessly.

"The gang rules stipulate that disciples within a gang are not allowed to kill each other. This old dog has successively killed Han Li, Lan Er, and many other gang disciples," Situ He said grimly, "Just this one rule is enough to execute him. It has proven the gang rules.

What's more, this old dog actually returned alone. What about Yuan Hongri's disciples? What about the people from the Black Water Hall? Where did they go?

All these circumstances are enough to prove that it is related to the old dog.

With each layer of punishment, this old dog will surely die!"

"Okay! This old dog must be cut into pieces and made to die on his knees in front of Lan'er. He will serve Lan'er like a slave on his way to the underworld!" The woman's eyes were full of viciousness.

"Don't worry, if that's the case, Yuan Hongri still wants to save his life and covet his Changchun Gong."

"I'll post a death battle post!"

"Completely destroy Yuan Hongri's hope!"

Situ He's eyes were bloodshot, filled with murderous intent.
