Chapter 623 The Wandering Swordsman 14

Shi Zhongyu sneered, "Alright, Mr. Bei, you don't need to pretend here. This wasn't just Zhan Fei's doing. Without your permission, how could Zhan Fei have touched my food? How could Shi Jian have placed this cup of tea in front of me? Didn't anyone else notice anything amiss with Zhan Fei?"

Everyone immediately looked embarrassed, and Shi Jian, who was serving tea on the side, turned pale, his eyes unconsciously drifting towards Bei Haishi.

The members of the Chang Le Gang were used to a carefree life, and when they were suddenly subjected to Shi Zhongyu's high-pressure control, resentment naturally arose in their hearts.

However, considering that they still needed to keep Shi Zhongyu on Xia Ke Island, everyone was observing and hesitating.

They didn't want Shi Zhongyu to die like this, since Xia Ke Island needed a scapegoat. But if they continued to let Shi Zhongyu "make trouble" like this, they were afraid they would have to leave before Shi Zhongyu died on Xia Ke Island.

Zhan Fei, having been cuckolded by Shi Zhongyu in the past, endured it for two days before finally bribing a servant to put a drug in Shi Zhongyu's tea.

Bei Haishi was in charge of all affairs within the Chang Le Gang, so Zhan Fei's every move naturally couldn't escape his notice.

However, he tacitly approved of this, but secretly replaced the poison with muscle-relaxing powder.

In order to gain Shi Zhongyu's trust, he specifically entrusted this matter to Shi Jian.

Compared to a highly skilled and genuine leader of the Chang Le Gang, Bei Haishi would prefer an obedient puppet.

He could have easily crippled Shi Zhongyu first, and then pinned everything on Zhan Fei, achieving his goal without arousing suspicion from outsiders.

Unexpectedly, Shi Zhongyu not only saw through the scheme but also revealed it in front of everyone.

Even though Bei Haishi was good at suppressing his anger, he was still embarrassed by Shi Zhongyu's words. Ignoring Shi Jian's pleading look, he asked, "Chief... what are you talking about?"

"Tsk tsk! This is no fun. You dare to do it but not admit it?" Shi Zhongyu sat back down and lazily looked at everyone. "But it doesn't matter. Everyone knows what's going on. I gave you this chance, but you're just not good enough."

So from this day forward, your lives are all mine.

"...Master..." Bei Haishi opened his mouth to speak.

Shi Zhongyu waved his hand leisurely, stopping him from saying the rest: "In the past, you treated me as a scapegoat, and I only used you as a tool to get rid of the Snow Mountain Sect. Everyone has their faults, so I let you take action against me this time."

But from this day forward, I owe you nothing. On the contrary, you are…

Shi Zhongyu looked at everyone meaningfully, sitting firmly on the high platform, giving people an inexplicable sense of heaviness.

It was as if a towering mountain stood before them, unshakable, its oppressive presence suffocating them.

“From this day forward, your lives belong to me. Whenever I come to take them, you cannot blame me, because this is what you owe me.”

Having been influenced by socialism, Shi Zhongyu felt that he was too kind now; in the past, these people would probably have died eight hundred times over.

But who can blame him when he's now a fine young man who has received socialist education and embraced Mao Zedong Thought?

But then again, he's always been so kind; for example… he's done too many good deeds to remember.
