Even as a "normie," I'm completely oblivious to it.

Little Lychee listened in confusion but followed behind, her job being to win without lifting a finger.

The three of them climbed the stairs and went straight to the third floor, which was the top floor of the comic book club.

The last time Yu Zhe came here to find Mo Lingyun, the third floor was dark and there were no lights.

Now things are different. Not only is there a ceiling light every two meters on the top floor of the entire corridor, but the opaque paper that used to cover the windows has also been removed.

Yu Zhe specially arranged for someone to finish this a few days ago. After all, Yun'er had some unpleasant memories here. She was so afraid of the dark, yet she stayed here. Although she doesn't need to be here anymore, Yu Zhe tidied up this place purely to make herself feel better.

The three of them did not stop along the way and went directly to the former chairman's office on the third floor, which was located in the middle.

Qi Xinye walked ahead and opened the door, letting Zixiao go in first.

Upon entering, Zixiao witnessed this somewhat comical scene.

Two burly men in black jackets had their arms twisted behind their backs by Lu Ling and Lu Yao. The two men were kneeling on the ground, their faces contorted in pain, their arms being pulled at an odd angle by Lu Ling and Lu Yao's inexplicable strength.

It looks like it's in a lot of pain.

Meanwhile, Ouyang's two combat maids, Xiao Qing and Xiao Lan, stood on either side, speechless. They couldn't compare; the Su family's senior's combat power was truly too formidable.

They even forgot that, in terms of seniority, they were actually Lu Ling and Lu Yao's seniors.

Mo Lingyun stood in front of the two of them, her expression solemn, as if she had just asked a question.

Upon seeing Zixiao arrive, Mo Lingyun went over to greet her and said, "Zixiao, you're here. Is Brother Yuzhe feeling better now?"

Judging from her anxious expression, she was more concerned about her brother's health than the immediate situation...

"Yes, I just called and asked. There's no problem with Yu Che taking care of things. How's it going with your side?"

"I'm still questioning them... I know these two; they used to be bodyguards for the Mo family."

"Biao, wait a moment, I'll continue asking."

After saying this, Mo Lingyun turned around with a serious look in her eyes and asked in a tone that was as fierce as possible.

"You two, hurry up and tell the truth! Besides you, how many other people has the Mo family sent here, and when will they arrive? Uncle Lin and Uncle Wang, you were both long-time employees of the Mo family. If you just tell the truth, you won't have to suffer like this!"

"My dear young lady!" The burly man in the black jacket, referred to as Uncle Wang, looked up in extreme pain. "We're telling the truth! There were only the two of us here to arrest you! Why won't you believe me?! Ouch, ouch, that hurts! Please, young lady, have mercy and let them release you! What's wrong with these two?!"

42. Stay calm.

"Ouch! Ouch! Ouch! What the hell are these two girls?! The boss didn't mention any monsters like this when he gave the instructions!"

Uncle Wang and Uncle Lin are quite famous in Cangming City. These seasoned "Mo Family warriors" are now unable to move under the control of Lu Ling and Lu Yao.

They don't care about missions anymore, their arms are about to break!

But Mo Lingyun said there was no need to be merciful to them, her eyes still cold.

“You two are not the masterminds, just the executors. I don’t need to torture you like this. I just want to hear the truth.”

Uncle Wang felt so much pain in his arm that it no longer belonged to him. He stammered, "Miss, what truth do you want to hear? We'll tell you anything we know!"

“It’s very simple.” Mo Lingyun’s voice was filled with hatred as she spoke. “Besides how many people you sent today, there’s another matter. So many years have passed, but there are some details about my parents’ death, or rather, the specific details of the Mo Chi conspiracy. I think you two should know all about it.”

Uncle Lin immediately replied, "No, no, no! We don't know anything. How could we possibly be involved in the affairs of the upper echelons of the family!"

"Liar," Mo Lingyun said disdainfully. "No need to beat around the bush. You should know Su Yuzhe, right? The current head of the Su family. My brother Yuzhe told me personally that it was the two of you who put the documents framing my parents in their desks back then. Or do you want the evidence presented to you before you'll admit it...?"

These two are the right-hand men of Mo Chi, the current head of the Mo family. They shouldn't just know a little bit; they should know the whole story.

So when Mo Lingyun saw that the people they had caught were them, she knew that they had caught two big fish.

Upon hearing that evidence had been found, Uncle Lin and Uncle Wang, with their arms tied behind their backs and kneeling on the ground, exchanged a glance, their eyes filled with embarrassment.

This isn't just empty boasting... otherwise, why would they go into such detail about even something as simple as placing the documents?

But how can they explain this? It's all old news. Back then, it was indeed Mo Chi who instructed the two of them to put the framed documents in Mo Lingyun's father's desk. They were just the executors.

But Mo Chi's father had been kind to them... Now that Mo Chi is the head of the family, they know they should understand loyalty and righteousness.

To put it bluntly, they were merely servants during the Mohist period when the school was at its peak... They didn't understand many fundamental principles of right and wrong, but even servants know how to repay kindness.

It seemed that they were thinking about too many things in that instant, and they forgot about the pain in their arms.

Finally, Uncle Lin spoke on behalf of the group: "Alas... there's nothing we can do. We're outmatched today and got caught. So we have to tell the truth, Miss. Let me tell you the truth. Back then, it was purely because we were both blinded by greed. We thought that if we did something for Patriarch Mo Chi, we might get promoted and make a fortune. So we planned and executed a frame-up ourselves."

Uncle Wang added, "Yes, if it's a matter of killing one's father, then Miss, you can come to us for revenge. This matter has nothing to do with the head of the Mo Chi family. It was purely a moment of madness on our part. He was just forced to take over as the head of the family by taking advantage of the situation we created."

"You bastards!! You two bastards!!!"

Mo Lingyun's heterochromatic eyes were filled with surging anger.

She knew perfectly well that these two were just trying to take the blame, but that's precisely why she was even angrier!

That was the indirect murder of her biological parents. Without evidence, and without bringing the mastermind Mo Chi to justice, how could Mo Lingyun possibly let go of this huge burden in her heart?

She and Mo Chi were sworn enemies from the start.

This hatred has gradually faded with Yu Zhe's gentleness, but that doesn't mean it has disappeared. Whenever faced with this matter, Mo Lingyun has every reason to be extremely angry.

She picked up a vase from the shelf next to her and was about to smash it hard against Uncle Lin's head.

But before that, a slender and beautiful hand grasped her wrist.

She turned her head and saw Zixiao's somewhat angry face, which immediately sobered her up a bit.

"sorry..."

"Don't let anger cloud your judgment. You'll only feel good for a moment, but it won't benefit anyone in the long run," Zixiao whispered to her. "The punishment can be left to the law. If you smash things and cause serious injury to them in a fit of anger, we'll end up in a passive position. In that case, we'll just be causing trouble for our brother, and all our plans for today will be ruined."

Mo Lingyun understood these things, of course, so she lowered her head again, looking aggrieved: "I'm so sorry... I..."

That was really too impulsive...

She forced down her anger and, with trembling hands, placed the vase back in its original position.

"You must have gone through a lot..."

Zixiao also felt a little sorry for Lingyun. Lingyun must be very anxious right now. She was only one step away from finding evidence to avenge her parents, but the other party was so stubborn.

It's truly remarkable that he could be stopped by just one sentence in this state.

However, more than anything, Mo Lingyun's mentality was that she didn't want to cause trouble for Yu Zhe. Indeed, if this vase was used as a decorative object, who knows how many unforeseen complications would arise later.

Uncle Lin clicked his tongue. His attempt to provoke him had failed. He had hoped to take the hit head-on and turn the tables, which was a real pity.

Zixiao knew that Mo Lingyun's mindset was not very stable, so she told her to stand behind and stepped forward to speak.

"I am a member of the Su family, and I am here on behalf of the Su family to ask you questions."

"!"

The Su family!

The two immediately looked up. Although they had searched for a long time and had not seen Su Yuzhe himself, it turned out that someone from the Su family was indeed involved here!

As the biggest boss in Fenghai City, the two of them had no choice but to be 120% focused.

Zi Xiao asked expressionlessly, "There are recording and video recording devices in the room right now. You will be held legally responsible for every word you say. Don't think that it's okay to say whatever you want now. Knowing this, I'll ask you again: who was the real culprit who framed the former head of the Mo family back then?"

This did not scare the two of them.

Uncle Lin raised his head and insisted on his previous statement: "No matter how many times you ask, it will be the same. The facts are the facts! It was just our personal behavior, and it has nothing to do with anyone else!"

"Then can you produce your own evidence to prove that the real culprit is your own?"

"Heh, little girl, that's a pointless question. It happened so many years ago, and besides, is there any way to prove your guilt... Ouch, that hurts!"

As soon as Uncle Wang finished speaking, Lu Ling twisted his arm slightly, saying, "Who gave you permission to speak to Miss Zixiao like that..."

Ignoring his previous words, Zixiao sighed and said, "There is no evidence to prove your guilt, which means you also have no evidence to prove Mo Chi's innocence."

"?"

43. He will surrender on his own.

What...do you mean by that?

Uncle Lin didn't understand and asked Zixiao a question in return.

“It’s very simple, just the literal meaning,” Zi Xiao said indifferently. “Your current situation is just empty talk, which cannot prove who is guilty or innocent. We will not listen to your side of the story and will continue to collect evidence about what Mo Chi did back then. No, I should say we have already obtained some preliminary evidence.”

"!"

That's impossible!

Uncle Wang glanced at Uncle Lin; both of them looked on in disbelief.

Perhaps the matter of the two of them leaving the documents back then can still be investigated. After all, the company's video recordings couldn't be destroyed at the time; if they were, it would be like trying to hide something obvious.

However, the evidence that Mo Chi was the mastermind should have been completely eradicated long ago...

But after all, the two of them had been working in the Mo family for so many years, they couldn't possibly be completely without any cunning.

Uncle Lin, enduring the pain in his arm, laughed and said, "Bluster, right? Ha, it's not true. No matter how eloquently you put it, it's still not true."

"..."

He was right.

What evidence is there for this? When the Mo family was in trouble, would the Su family have collected evidence immediately?

That's impossible. It's just that Yu Zhe and Mo Lingyun had a good relationship, but Yu Zhe was still young at the time, so why would they have focused on investigating him?

During this period, Mo Chi destroyed all the relevant evidence.

Zixiao clenched her fists secretly, feeling a pang of indescribable sadness. If it were her brother... he would have figured out a way to get the information out of her right now, but Zixiao couldn't think of any other way.

I'm still so immature...

"Zixiao, you've done a great job."

Upon hearing Qi Xinye's voice, Zixiao turned around and saw that Sister Xinye smiled and nodded in approval.

Then Qi Xinye looked ahead and stared at the two people kneeling on the ground with considerable pressure.

"Does evidence really matter? Forgive my bluntness, but this isn't loyalty; it's just blind obedience. Is it really worth taking the blame for someone as greedy for power as Mo Chi, who would do anything to kill others?"

"Qi Xinye, the eldest daughter of the Qi family? Sorry, we're not taking the blame, we're just stating the facts."

"Still being stubborn even when death is imminent."

Qi Xinye was too lazy to pay attention to them anymore. There was no point in talking to people who were blindly loyal to them.

It's utterly incomprehensible that someone would rather be a scapegoat than protect the real villain behind them.
