Chapter 70

At this moment, Old Wang's mind was completely blank, even though he had foreseen this scene when he chose to flee. However, seeing it with his own eyes was a different matter altogether.

It could be said that his decision to flee at that time was not because he thought he would be killed by the ghost if he didn't run, but rather out of a simple fear of the ghost.

As the old saying goes, "If you have a clear conscience, you won't fear the ghost's call." But the problem was that he had done something wrong, which is why he was so afraid and chose to flee in such a wretched manner.

But fundamentally, it was just his instinctive reaction.

Fear stems from the unknown, but when the unknown becomes known, fear turns into deep despair.

"Hu Danu is dead... It has come back for revenge..."

Old Wang, with his hollow eyes, suddenly muttered.

Hearing Old Wang's muttering, Xia Tianqi directly grabbed Old Wang's collar, lifting him up like a disassembled puppet, and with a fierce expression, warned:

"What exactly did you do to Xiaoli? Tell me, or you'll be the next one to die!"

"We forced her to death... It has come back... for revenge..."

Despite Xia Tianqi's loud questioning, Old Wang continued to mutter to himself.

"This bastard!"

Seeing that Old Wang completely ignored his warning, Xia Tianqi's anger flared up. Without further questioning, he slapped Old Wang hard twice and then continued:

"Snap out of it! It has already turned into a vengeful ghost. If you don't tell us the truth, we can't help you."

At this point, Xia Tianqi had a sudden idea and added:

"Even if you want to die, think about your family. Do you want them to end up like Hu Danu?"

Hearing Xia Tianqi mention his family, Old Wang's hollow eyes finally showed a glimmer of light. He was suddenly in tears, crying and begging Xia Tianqi:

"I'll tell you... I'll tell you everything... Just don't let it hurt my family... Please..."

Seeing that Old Wang had finally opened up, Xia Tianqi felt a sense of relief. He exchanged a glance with Leng Yue, who looked somewhat smug.

After a small show of superiority with Leng Yue, Xia Tianqi quickly asked Old Wang:

"What exactly did you do to Xiaoli, and who else was involved?"

Although Old Wang was very reluctant to reveal the truth, seeing Hu Danu's mummy not far away and thinking about the potential harm to his family, he gritted his teeth and decided to speak. However, before he did, he made a condition:

"I'll tell you, but you must keep it a secret and swear not to tell anyone."

Xia Tianqi and Leng Yue had no intention of telling others, so they symbolically took an oath, which finally got Old Wang to speak:

"That night, Hu Danu suddenly found me and said he had discovered a secret about Chen Lao's daughter-in-law and asked if I had any ideas. At the time, I didn't know what Hu Danu meant, so I asked him what I could possibly think about Chen Lao's daughter-in-law, and what I dared to think.

Hu Danu then gave me a "hehe" smile and said there was a chance to sleep with her and asked if I was interested.

After hearing this, I thought Hu Danu was crazy. If Chen Lao found out, he would definitely kill us. So I refused without hesitation, as I had a family.

When Hu Danu heard I wasn't interested, he told me that Chen Lao would never know about it.

He asked me if I would be interested in a chance to sleep with that young woman, and if I could be sure that Chen Lao and no one else would ever know. He told me to think carefully and not to regret it later.

To say I wasn't interested would be a lie. Every man wants to sleep with a beautiful, young woman with a good figure. Although I was timid, after Hu Danu's repeated persuasion, I became interested.

I asked him what secret he had discovered about Xiaoli, and he said, "Just go for it; don't ask so many questions."

He told me to think it over and give him a sign, saying he was telling me this as a good brother.

After Hu Danu told me this, Xiaoli's image was all I could think about, and it kept me awake for several days. Finally, I couldn't resist and found Hu Danu.

When Hu Danu saw me, he readily agreed and told me to wait for a sign and that he would arrange it.

The next day, Hu Danu called me to Chen Lao's house. Soon, Xiaoli came out, head down. Hu Danu, who clearly knew her, had a wicked smile and a threatening look, telling Xiaoli to spend one more night with me, and then they would be even.

Xiaoli didn't say anything, just nodded, looking resigned. Hu Danu then came to me and reminded me to hurry, as Chen Lao could return at any time.

My mind was in chaos, and I didn't pay much attention to his warning.

Then I took Xiaoli to Hu Danu's place. During the act, Xiaoli lay still like a corpse, her eyes wide open, filled with tears.

At that moment, I really wanted to stop, but since I had already started, I didn't care anymore. Afterward, I was afraid that if Chen Lao found out about it, it would be a disaster.

I asked her if she would tell anyone, and only then did Xiaoli finally speak, crying and begging me to let them go.

After that, I found Hu Danu and told him my concerns. Hu Danu, without any worry, told me not to worry, saying that they weren't the only ones who had done it. Zhao Kuaimouth, Qi Dalì, and Zhang Quezi had also done it.

I didn't know these people had also been involved with Xiaoli, or I wouldn't have joined in. But it was too late to regret it.

For the next few days, I lived in constant fear, afraid that Chen Lao would send someone to find us. Fortunately, that day never came..."

At this point, Xia Tianqi barely suppressed his anger and shouted:

"You scumbags deserve to be punished by the vengeful ghost!"

Old Wang didn't say anything, just sighed with regret. Xia Tianqi gestured for him to continue, and Old Wang said:

"About 20 days later, Zhao Kuaimouth suddenly found me and said Chen Lao wanted us to help him with something.

To be precise, he wanted us to help him kill someone!

He..."

Just as Old Wang was about to continue, his voice suddenly caught in his throat, and beads of sweat the size of peas began to visibly appear on his face.

"Ah...!!!"

In the next instant, Old Wang clutched his face in pain and began rolling on the muddy ground.
