Chapter 171: End of trial

Qi Yuan also saw Qi Ye in the gallery.

Upon seeing his son, Qi Yuan couldn't help but avoid his eyes.

After the hearing, President Xu laid out the evidence he had found one by one, and although his words were slow, they were airtight and gouged out the flesh of Qi Yuan and Chi Zhongye.

After listening to him, Jiang Luo couldn't help but give Director Xu a heartfelt "yes". Yu Guang glanced at them, and they relaxed a lot.

But Qi Yuan and Chi Zhongye, who were still holding on to a glimmer of hope that Xu Dangdeng had not found the key evidence, turned ugly.

The two of them looked at each other, and Chi Zhongye lowered his voice, "Qi Yuan , don't forget what we agreed."

Qi Yuan hurriedly said, "Don't worry, I have contacts in my hands and you know puppetry. After a few months to avoid the wind, I will definitely think of a way to bring you out."

"You'd better be true to your word." Chi Zhongye didn't really trust Qi Yuan, but there was no better way now. It was better for one person to go in than for both of them to go down, not to mention that he still had Qi Yuan in his hands.

He was reassured by this thought, but a certain sense of foreboding still lingered.

During this period of time, Chi Zhongye had been regretting the fact that he had listened to Qi Yuan's words to do something to Jiang Luo. Originally, he only wanted Jiang Luo to be the bait to get rid of Chi You, if not encouraged by Qi Yuan, how could he be standing here now?

But he arranged the change of the test content and the underhanded thing, Qi Yuan also moved his mouth and gave him some more manpower, and within the two of them, it is obvious that Chi Zhongye's suspicion is greater.

Although it was agreed that he would be the one to take the blame, Chi Zhongye was standing here, but his legs were weak, he was afraid and wanted to retreat, and he even regretted that he had taken the position of the "head of the Chi family".

If he wasn't the head of the Chi family, this wouldn't be his turn.

If only Chi You hadn't died.

He could have logically blamed Chi You for all of this and let Chi You take the fall for him.

Chi Zhongye thought and became indignant again.

This is all Chi You's fault.

If Chi You doesn't turn into an evil spirit after death, wouldn't he not have to risk killing Chi You?

A thousand wrongs are all Chi You's fault, annoying while alive, and not letting anyone rest in peace even after death.

Chi Zhongye thought a lot, but hesitated to speak. It wasn't until he was nudged by Qi Yuan that he stiffened and stepped forward, his voice dry, "This was all my idea, I asked Qi Yuan to come and give me a hand, he didn't know what I was going to do, and I didn't tell him, and he'll get involved in this purely because he's been tricked by me."

Qi Yuan busily opened his mouth to express his innocence, ''Yes, yes, yes, I really don't know anything. Elder brother Chi just asked me to lend him some manpower, our Qi family and the Chi family have always had a good relationship and have been friends for generations. When an old friend asked for people, I had to be righteous and sent people over without even asking."

When Jiang Luo heard this, he couldn't hold back his laughter and snorted. Only Ye Xun beside him heard it, Ye Xun helplessly looked at Jiang Luo a glance, he also could not hold back curled up the corner of his lips.

Qi Yuan and Chi Zhongye, are they going to give up one to save the other?

But it was so hard to bring these two guys down, how could Jiang Luo let them skim off the top?

While Dean Xu frowned and thought about how to respond, Jiang Luo's fingers moved without a trace, and with his recovered air, he wrote down the word "honesty" and gave it to Qi Yuan and Chi Zhongye.

Invisible words passed through the air and landed on the two men, Qi and Ji. The two people who were trying to exonerate themselves were jolted, and then like a different person, they grabbed all the plans and crimes.

"It's me, it was my idea, we wanted to kill Jiang Luo, so we planned to create an accident where he died in the test."

Qi Ye in the gallery clenched his fists violently and let out a trapped, desperate whimper from his throat.

Qi Yuan stared in horror, unable to believe what he was saying, but his mouth kept opening and closing, "I want to kill Jiang Luo because he wants to avenge Chi You. I don't just want to kill Jiang Luo, I want to crush the Heavenly Master's Mansion and become the head of the Six Great Families."

After saying these two words, Qi Yuan's expression was already desperate, but he continued to tell one by one the wrongdoings he had done in the past and the people he had brutalized.

Chi Zhongye, like him, couldn't keep his mouth shut, "No, what I did was even more outrageous. I work with the leader of the blood eels, specializing in telling rich people that blood eels can make them young and live forever, and taking kickbacks from that. A man named Hulin used to hire me to perform a puja, but I drank too much that day and killed Hulin's family outright. I blamed Chi You for more than just this incident, but also for that woeful incident with Chen Binxi, and ......"

Every single thing is enough to be appalling.

The entire courtroom was in an uproar.

The leaders of the Xuan Ling Office looked at Qi Yuan and Chi Zhongye in disbelief, and the crowd in the gallery was agitated. The clerk's face was filled with shock, and his hands flew without stopping to take notes.

Qi Yuan heard himself say, "No, I've done worse ......"

A man in his fifties was forced to the edge of the cliff by his own mouth. Qi Yuan wanted to cover his mouth, but his hands honestly stayed in place, and he even felt the urge to tell the whole story in shame. He clearly understood that such an impulse was very wrong, but he was unable to restrain it. Qi Yuan was so desperate that his expression gradually became numb, "Do you know about Primordial Heavenly Pearl?"

Those present froze.

Qi Yuan said, "There are a total of four Primordial Heavenly Pearls under the sky, and Primordial Heavenly Pearl is ...... cough, cough."

Suddenly, Qi Yuan coughed violently and his eyes gradually became clear.

Beside him, Chi Zhongye seems to have been struck by a hammer blow and jerked back to his senses.

The courtroom was silent as Qi Yuan and Chi Zhongye stared in disbelief at what they had said.

Jiang Luo sensed that the word-spirit that had been placed upon the two of them had shattered, and that there was another, more powerful force that had long ago placed a ban within their minds, not allowing them to reveal their unspeakable secrets.

This is not a matter of cooperation or not, Qi Yuan reacted quickly and said, "I was just controlled by Chi Zhongye, he knows the art of puppet soul refinement, he just controlled me to make me take the blame for him."

"You fart," Chi Zhongye looked at him grimly, gritting his teeth in hatred, "It was clearly you who used some sinister means to influence me."

The two people who were the power holders of the six great families began to dogfight in public, causing the entire scene to be in a frenzy.

The scene was extremely funny, but the leaders of the Xuan Ling Joint Office couldn't laugh.

With serious expressions, their fingers even shaking a little with horror at the news of Qi Yuan and Chi Zhongye's self-immolation, they began to contact people from other organizations.

According to Qi Yuan and Chi Zhongye, they have already caused more than one death, which even involved a lot of ordinary people. This level is no longer something they can solve, and someone from the state must be brought in to take over.

Officer Lin had been waiting outside the Xuan Ling Office with his men to arrest Chi Zhongye, and when he received this notification, he directly rushed into the Xuan Ling Office with his men. When Qi Yuan and Chi Zhongye saw the police rushing in, their faces turned white, knowing that this time they were really finished.

Human instinct made them turn and run, but Qi Yuan had just taken two steps when he was heavily pounced on by a policeman, the bridge of his nose hitting the ground, and nosebleed gushing out instantly.

He was "hissing" in pain, while on the other side, Chi Zhongye was yelling, "Let go of me! Let go of me!"

It's over. It's all over.

Qi Yuan trembled as he was forcibly yanked to his feet, and he may be locked up inside a prison for the rest of his life.

A chill unnoticeably seeped into Qi Yuan's side through the cracks in the crowd on all sides.

Qi Yuan winced, sensing that something was wrong. In the next instant, he was violently lifted off the ground by something unseen clutching his neck. Qi Yuan painfully felt up his neck, trying to pull away from whatever was choking him. His face went red from lack of oxygen, and his legs struggled desperately.

Qi Ye snapped to his feet, "Dad!"

The people around them were startled, and Officer Lin reacted quickly by yelling, "What are you waiting for? Hurry up and save him!"

But no one else could get Qi Yuan out of the air, no matter what they tried.

Qi Yuan's breathing became more and more rapid, his face gradually turned blue, he screamed "ho ho", the feeling of life passing away made his tears and snot flow down together.

He laboriously lowered his head and watched Qi Ye frantically rush in from the gallery. Qi Yuan, seeing his son's tearful appearance, had an extra burst of strength from somewhere, and he struggled hard again as if returning to his senses.

A grim snort suddenly rang in Qi Yuan's ears.

"Qi Yuan, it's time to return the spirit body in you that belonged to my grandfather."

Qi Yuan's pupils shrank.

The police officer who was struggling to hold Qi Yuan's legs couldn't help but let out a sigh of relief after seeing Qi Yuan's struggling movements slowly stop, "Officer Lin ......"

Before the words left his mouth, Qi Yuan struggled even more violently than he had just done, and the sounds that came out of his mouth did not sound like those of a living person, and the veins from his neck to his face were hideous.

Half of his tongue was bitten off and fell on the police officer, Qi Ye, who stood by and watched helplessly, his brain went blank, "Dad ......"

The invisible spirit body was pulled out of Qi Yuan's spine little by little, and the pain was so excruciating that Qi Yuan was worse than death. When the spirit was completely taken out of him, the thing that was holding his neck threw him hard, and Qi Yuan was violently thrown against the far wall.

The sheer force of the impact caused Qi Yuan to spit out a mouthful of blood, and all the bones in his body seemed to shatter. He slid down the wall with a shriek, pulling out a trail of blood. Qi Yuan felt his spine break, his neck stiffen, his mouth filled with blood, and in the last moment of his life, he suddenly saw the evil spirit sitting in the gallery from his bloodstained eyes.

Everyone at the scene was in chaos, and the man dressed in black sat motionless. Those abyssal hellish eyes passed through the air and stared at Qi Yuan.

Qi Yuan's chest choked as he slurred with difficulty, "Chi You ......"

Another shaking hand reaches for Qi Ye, "Quick-" run.

Blood overflowed Qi Yuan's mouth, his neck slumped and he died.

The police rushed to administer first aid to him, and Chi Zhongye, who was still trying to defend himself, shuddered and was instantly creeped out. He looked around in horror and shivered, "Chi You? Chi You is here?"

He shook and broke away from those holding him down and pounced on Qi Yuan's body, shaking Qi Yuan with a grim expression, "Qi Yuan, where is Chi You, is he going to kill me--"

Qi Yuan, who was already dead, suddenly opened his eyes, and his bruised and purple face showed Chi Zhongye a frighteningly vicious smile as he said, "You'll be next."

After saying that, Qi Yuan closed his eyes again.

Chi Zhongye was so frightened that he sat on his buttocks on the floor. The police tried to pull him up, but as soon as his hand touched Chi Zhongye's body, Chi Zhongye screamed like a madman with his head in his hands.

"Don't kill me, don't kill me ......"

......

A farce gradually subsided.

Only when the courtroom was finished with people did the evil spirit, clad in a black coat, rise gracefully and walk out with his cane without haste.

Just as I walked out the door, a voice came from beside me, "Hey."

The evil spirit turned his head to look to the right.

The dark-haired youth leaned against the wall, his fingertips holding half a cigarette, smoke puffed out from his nostrils, he shook the ashes, the dim sunset diffused on his black hair, and his voluptuous features were more than a little lazy, "Shedding out?"

It's like he's waiting for the boogeyman on purpose.
