Chapter 653: A Violent Beating

Chapter 653: A Violent Beating

Zhao Licheng’s wife picked up the thing on the table in confusion.

Su Yang and Zhao Licheng could clearly hear the sound of Zhao Licheng’s wife taking something out through their earphones.

Moments later, with the sound of a folder opening, Zhao Licheng’s wife’s terrified voice was heard.

“What is this?!

“Why do you have this?”

Because Su Yang and Zhao Licheng were outside, they did not know what was going on inside. They only knew that this thing terrified Zhao Licheng’s wife.

Then, Zhao Licheng’s wife’s angry voice came through the earpiece. “Where did you get these?!”

Old Cao said nonchalantly, “You don’t have to know how I got it, Sister-In-Law. All I want to say is that if these get released to the public, it will affect you greatly, won’t it?”

Old Cao finally called her Sister-In-Law once, but it sounded more like he was teasing her.

Even though his voice sounded malicious, he had at least given off a sense of authority and calmness before. However, at that moment, there was a trace of perversion and lust in it.

Su Yang frowned.

‘Gets released to the public?

‘This is usually a term that’s used for photos, isn’t it?

‘So, could it be that Old Cao has photos of Zhao Licheng’s wife?’

When Su Yang thought about the photo, coupled with Zhao Licheng’s wife’s surprised tone, Su Yang guessed that it was not any ordinary photo. ‘It must be photos that mustn’t be shown to outsiders.’

At the thought of this, Su Yang glanced at Zhao Licheng, who was beside him. His eyes were bloodshot and his face was red as he clenched his fists and gritted his teeth.

At that moment, Old Cao poured himself a glass of water and said, “Shanshan, now that Old Zhao is dead, you’re on your own. Plus, it just so happens that I have these with me.

“So, why don’t you...”

“Be my lover then?

“This way, I can take care of you on behalf of Old Zhao.”

At this point, Zhao Licheng could no longer hold it in. He pushed open the door and pounced on Old Cao, punching him in the face. “F*ck you! Cao Qiguang! Are you even human?!”

The room was instantly thrown into chaos and was filled with the sounds of tables and chairs tumbling, accompanied by Old Cao’s painful cries and Zhao Licheng’s insults.

Su Yang heard everything from outside. When he saw the waiter walking over, he pressed his hands down without any hesitation and used his Silver Ability, [Hands Of Fate].

As he raised his hands and pressed down, the air suddenly became quiet.

Under the light, there seemed to be a few grains of dust lingering before his eyes.

Su Yang tilted his head to avoid the dust particles and walked into the room.

He waved his hands and sent Zhao Licheng and the other two into the virtual space locking them in separate rooms.

Then, with a thought from Su Yang, everything in the room got rearranged to how it was before, leaving only a bowl and chopsticks left on the floor.

After that, Su Yang sat on the chair and deactivated his ability.

After his ability was deactivated, time started to flow again.

Then, a waiter walked over and knocked on the door before heading in to take a look. Then, the anxiety on his face turned into confusion.

Obviously, he had been disturbed by the commotion earlier, so he had come to check. However, he did not find anyone fighting in there.

Su Yang asked, “Is something the matter?”

“Oh,” the waiter replied. Then he had an idea. “Hello, sir. Would you like to place your order?”

Su Yang waved his hand. “Not for the moment, my friends aren’t even here yet.”

The waiter nodded and left. He was looking for an excuse to ease the awkwardness of coming over to check in on them. Therefore, since everything was fine, he did not want to do any more extra work.

After he left, Su Yang closed the door and summoned Janet, ordering him to stay in that room and keep watch so that no one would disturb them.

After that, he quickly entered the virtual space.

When Su Yang entered the castle, Zhao Licheng’s angry shouts filled the castle.

“F*ck you!”

“Are you even human?! That’s your sister-in-law!”

“You b*stard! B*stard!”

Su Yang hurried to the room where Zhao Licheng had been locked up. When he pushed the door open, Old Cao’s face was bruised and swollen, his face covered in blood. Then, Old Cao looked at the furious young man before him in fear, Old Cao had been beaten so badly that he could not fight back.

Even so, he could not help but ask, “Who are you? What does this have to do with you? Stop hitting me, for f*ck’s sake. Would you like to bet that I’m going to send someone to kill you?”

At that moment, the man in the suit was like a stray dog that had been beaten by Zhao Licheng.

Zhao Licheng was completely mad. He did not bother hiding his identity as he punched Old Cao’s body.

At that moment, Zhao Licheng’s wife was completely stunned. She held a large picture in her hand and her face was pale as she stared at the scene before her.

Su Yang took the photo from her and took a glance at it. When Zhao Licheng’s wife snapped back to her senses, she quickly snatched it over and covered it against her breasts. She looked at Su Yang in fear and shook her head non-stop.

Even so, Su Yang had already seen the contents of the photo clearly.

It was a picture of Zhao Licheng’s wife without any clothes.

Su Yang was speechless.

Coupled with what Old Cao said just now, Su Yang pieced together the whole story with a simple thought.

‘It’s obvious that Cao Qiguang has gotten hold of Zhao Licheng’s wife’s photo somewhere. It’s even possible that he has photoshopped the photo himself and wanted to use this photo to threaten Zhao Licheng’s wife!

‘What an animal!

‘Zhao Licheng is his older brother who has known him for ten years! So, his wife is effectively his sister-in-law!

‘In the end, he’s actually done such a thing!

‘No wonder he didn’t seem to mind when Zhao Licheng’s wife asked him for the shares. It’s obvious that he has already planned to use these photos to blackmail Zhao Licheng’s wife in the first place.’

He thought about how much pressure and psychological pressure a widow who had just lost her husband would face if these photos were made public. ‘Even if they’re fake, the public wouldn’t know that. So, as long as Zhao Licheng’s wife shows even the slightest hint of weakness, there’s a high chance that she would compromise.

‘So, he plans to swallow both Zhao Licheng’s wife and his money!

‘As for why Old Cao didn’t use these pictures earlier, it’s probably because the timing was too sensitive at the time and he did not dare act rashly.

‘Now that the company has been listed, he has become a major shareholder. So, even if things fail, he has enough resources to deal with it.’

After figuring out Old Cao’s thoughts, Su Yang felt that Old Cao was too ruthless.

Previously, he felt that Zhao Licheng’s counterattack was already very ruthless, but when it’s compared to Old Cao, Zhao Licheng had made the most honorable move. After all, it was within the rules.

Old Cao, on the other hand...

‘A friend’s wife is not to be bullied.

‘It wouldn’t be wrong to even beat this kind of person to death.’

At the thought of this, Su Yang allowed Zhao Licheng to beat up Old Cao as he pleased, which was a rare sight to see.

Hence, Zhao Licheng beat up Old Cao for a full five minutes before spitting at him. Then, he stood up while panting.

At that moment, Old Cao was no longer recognizable, nor did he seem as tough as he was before. Instead, all he could do was wail, “Stop hitting me, stop hitting me. I was wrong, I was wrong. I’m not human.”

After Zhao Licheng was done with beating him up, his face was still stained with blood as he walked over to Su Yang and bowed deeply. “I’m sorry for not holding it in, Mr. Su. Plus, I’ve even had to ask for your help.”

Su Yang patted his shoulder and sighed. “It’s fine, no sane man would have been able to withstand such a thing. Settle your matters thoroughly, I’ll help you clear up any loose ends outside.”

Zhao Licheng replied, “Alright.”

Then, Su Yang left the room to the three of them and left.

After having to face such an eye-opening situation, Su Yang did not know what kind of weird thing would happen next.

‘Whatever, this is all so messed up...

‘However, since Cao Qiguang is able to do such a thing, does this mean that Zhao Licheng’s death really isn’t an accident.’

With that thought in mind, Su Yang went upstairs to retrieve his hourglass.

The [Memory Labyrinth Hourglass’ had a very negative side effect. Furthermore, when searching for memories, Su Yang needed [Key Information] to obtain a [Fix]. Otherwise, he would not be able to find any useful information in the vast sea of memories. Hence, Su Yang would refrain from using this item if he could.

However, now that this has happened, it was only natural that Su yang would want to find out the truth to that matter.

Through the window at the door, Su Yang looked at Old Cao, who was hiding in the corner and held the hourglass in his hand.

The surroundings suddenly came to a standstill and started spinning. Soon, Su Yang arrived at Old Cao’s memory corridor.

Su Yang did not browse through Old Cao’s unimportant memories. Instead, he went straight to the memories related to Zhao Licheng’s death.

However, something unexpected happened.

The only memory he had was Old Cao gloating over Zhao Licheng’s death and his ambition to seize power from Zhao Licheng. However, he did not plan to kill Zhao Licheng.

Su Yang did not believe it as he enlarged the search radius to look for Old Cao’s intention to harm Zhao Licheng.

In the end, he actually found a few.

Sometimes, Old Cao would purposely think of ways to make things difficult for Zhao Licheng, delay his plan and submit his own backup plan. On other occasions, Old Cao would purposely use his speaking skills to make Zhao Licheng work overtime and exhaust his body.

However... There were no clues leading towards him having murdered Zhao Licheng.

Su Yang was shocked.

‘Old Cao has no bottom line when he does things, he’s even plotted against Zhao Licheng’s wife and his money. However, he actually didn’t want to kill Zhao Licheng?’

After exiting Old Cao’s memory, Su Yang was in disbelief. ‘Could Zhao Licheng’s death really be an accident? Old Cao really didn’t harm Zhao Licheng?’

Just as Su Yang was thinking about this, the door opened again. Zhao Licheng’s wife walked out with Zhao Licheng.

Zhao Licheng hugged her and patted her gently, comforting her and telling her to wait by the side.

Then, he forced himself to stay calm and said to Su Yang, “Mr. Su, Cao Qiguang has fainted.

“However, I don’t know how to tie up this loose end. If he is missing or dies, the police will definitely investigate the matter. Then, if they look through the surveillance tapes and follow that lead, we might be exposed.”
