Evil of all ages

Chapter 98 Entrustment
How could the observant Di Qingtian not notice the inhuman smile on Huang Taichu's face?

In the past, he would have said something about how unpleasant it was to find Huang Taichu, but now he seemed very calm.

The Yin brothers couldn't understand their parents' behavior at all.

Why destroy these clues and case analysis before going to Yunzhou, especially in front of Huang Taichu?

Is this an admission of defeat to Huang Taichu?
Or what?
Although they didn't understand, they never questioned their parents.

They believed that their elders might be trying to lull Huang Taichu into a false sense of security, or perhaps there was a deeper meaning behind it.

"Send send"

Di Qingtian wasn't going to waste time waiting for the fire to go out, and Huang Taichu wasn't going to escort him to the prison gates.

Huang Taichu realized that Di Qingtian wanted to talk to him on the way to see him off, so he did not refuse and walked side by side with Di Qingtian.

Both of them walked very slowly, and even the Yin brothers, who were very tactful, followed behind them at a distance of ten meters.

With the Yin brothers in such a state, the jailers and others in the prison vanished without a trace at that moment.

"Lord Di, you are a brilliant detective, undefeated in solving cases throughout your life."

"Today you've destroyed all these case files and clues. Are you giving up? Or are you admitting defeat to the real culprit in this bizarre case?"

"If that's the case, it will be the only failure of your life."

"Your life will no longer be perfect."

Huang Taichu said provocatively.

He wouldn't reveal his true intentions until Di Qingtian had completely laid them out to him.

"Admit defeat?"

"How could that be? I wrote all these case files and clues; everything is in my head."

"It's easy for me to rewrite it."

"Besides, there is no such thing as a perfect life. Everyone has to stumble and fall along the way."

For the first time, Di Qingtian smiled broadly in front of Huang Taichu.

"Then why did you destroy them?"

Huang Taichu asked.

"Because I have a possessive nature, only I can solve this mystery, and only I can solve it."

"I destroyed these things because I didn't want anyone to touch this bizarre case while I was away."

Di Qingtian said this insincerely.

"So that's how it is. I'm so disappointed. I thought you weren't going to keep bothering me anymore."

"So your prejudice against me is still so deep, and you're still relentlessly pursuing me."

Although Huang Taichu expressed his disappointment, his smile didn't diminish at all; in fact, it grew even wider.

"Nonsense, who am I? How could I let the murderer get away with it?"

"You just wait, I'll be back."

"When I get back, I will definitely find evidence of your crimes and bring you to justice."

Di Qingtian spoke threatening words, but he appeared completely relaxed, unlike his usual expressionless demeanor.

"Wait for you to come back?"

"Hahaha……"

"You've planted flags all over yourself, aren't you afraid you won't be able to come back?"

Huang Taichu smiled.

Strangely, Di Qingtian did not refute; he remained silent.

"Why aren't you saying anything? Did you sense you wouldn't be coming back, so you burned all the files related to me?"

Huang Taichu asked the question knowing the answer already.

Do you want me to come back, or do you not want me to come back?

Di Qingtian asked calmly.

"Your sudden question is a bit difficult for me to answer."

"Let me think"

"If you can't come back, and no one stops you, then your sister is mine."

“But if you really don’t come back, I might lose a ‘friend,’ and the Da’an Dynasty will lose an interesting person.”

"It's such a dilemma. I want you to come back, but I also don't want you to come back."

Huang Taichu looked conflicted.

"You like my sister?"

It's unusual that Di Qingtian, who's obsessed with his sister, didn't cause trouble for Huang Taichu; instead, he asked about this issue.

"like"

"If I'm gone, will you protect my sister and make sure she doesn't suffer any injustice?"

"Wait a minute, why do I get the feeling that you're going to entrust your sister to me?"

"Don't interrupt, answer my question: can you protect my sister?" "Yes."

In order to maintain his image as someone who falls in love at first sight, Huang Taichu could only answer yes.

"it is good"

"If I can return, after I marry Princess Pingyang, I will immediately arrange for you and my sister to marry."

"If I don't come back, you're on your own."

Di Qingtian stopped and looked at Huang Taichu.

"Hey, hey... this isn't right."

"Didn't you just say you'd keep pestering me when you got back? Why are you suddenly thinking of marrying your sister to me? You're so contradictory."

Huang Taichu also stopped and looked at Di Qingtian.

Di Qingtian: "Didn't you say you liked my sister?"

Huang Taichu forced a smile and said, "I like it."

Di Qingtian: "Then what's there to say? If you like her, just marry her."

"If you don't marry her, it means you were faking it all along. You don't actually like my sister; you staged all this to disgust me."

Huang Taichu: "..."

Huang Taichu was in a bind. He knew, of course, that Di Qingtian wanted to find someone for his sister to rely on in case he couldn't return.

Or rather, finding a powerful backer.

What's most despicable is that Di Qingtian not only sold his sister, but also plotted against him.

卑鄙
Di Qingtian changed his tactics.

Marrying his sister to him created a bond for him.

It put a constraint on him, a free spirit.

Huang Taichu held those who tried to make him one of their own, wanting to be his brother-in-law, in utter contempt.

However… it seems that Di Qingtian has broadened his path.

This, in turn, put him at a disadvantage.

"Why aren't you answering? Did I hit the nail on the head? Is it true that you like my sister?"

Di Qingtian pressed closer.

"How could that be? I love her! Don't worry, I'll make sure to spend more time with your sister while you're away."

"If things get too intimate and your sister becomes pregnant with my child, that would be a joyous occasion."

Faced with Di Qingtian's relentless pressure, how could Huang Taichu possibly swallow his anger and deliberately say things that would ruin Di Qingtian's sister's reputation?

"you…"

Upon hearing that Huang Taichu was going to ruin his sister's reputation, Di Qingtian was furious.

But then he realized that Huang Taichu was saying that in retaliation.

"If you like it, I'll take that as a yes. When I get back, I'll arrange your marriage."

Di Qingtian smiled again.

"Hmph, we'll talk when you come back alive."

Huang Taichu was annoyed to see Di Qingtian's smile return so quickly and turned his face away.

Seeing Huang Taichu's displeasure, Di Qingtian's face was full of smugness.

It was like playing chess; he had won by half a move against Huang Taichu.

After escorting the man to the entrance of the prison, Huang Taichu watched Di Qingtian leave without saying a word.

"My lord, why...?"

On the way back, the Yin brothers finally couldn't hold back any longer.

I want to ask my parents why they made that decision to marry my sister to Huang Taichu.

Could it be that their trip to Yunzhou will be a one-way trip?
"Don't ask or mention anything. You'll stay here and look after the house during this trip to Yunzhou."

Di Qingtian said calmly.

Upon hearing this, the Yin brothers became anxious.

“My lord, if you don’t let us go with you, we will tell Miss and Princess Pingyang everything about your conversation with Huang Taichu.”

Oh ho, you've been threatened.

To avoid worrying his sister and the princess, Di Qingtian had no choice but to agree.

Upon returning to Princess Pingyang's residence, Di Qingtian did not linger. After exchanging a few words with his sister and Princess Pingyang, he led a group of men and set off.

As they exited the city gate, Huang Taichu's figure appeared on the protective wall.

Neither the soldiers guarding the city wall nor the people entering and leaving the city gates noticed Huang Taichu's presence, or rather, they couldn't see him.

One person left.

Once Di Qingtian and the others had completely disappeared into the horizon, Huang Taichu muttered something to himself and then vanished from the city wall as well.
