Chapter 1538: Chapter 1537: He Hired the Tianlong Gang_1

The antidote hit my mouth like nectar and ambrosia, swiftly taking away the scorching feeling, extinguishing the sensation of fire burning inside.

In just that moment of effort, a layer of cold sweat had broken out all over my body.

I lay weakly on the ground, my movements sluggish as I took out a handkerchief from my chest to wipe the beads of sweat off my face. After wiping, I looked up at Bei Lingsu, my expression calm with a hint of deathly stillness, “I originally thought you truly were my aunt. It turns out that’s not the case.”

Bei Lingsu, “… You still think you’re in the right?”

“Xiaomai is my best friend, and now she’s been framed by others. You knew the inside story but said nothing, and you still think you’re in the right, don’t you?!”

“She’s your friend, I’m your kin,” Bei Yun continued in a calm and undisturbed tone.

“What of it? Above family, there is still right and wrong. You all collaborated with others to harm Young Master Tong’s life, and you were already in the wrong. Even if it’s family, when you make a mistake, you must be punished.” Bei Lingsu’s face might have been cold, but the tone had already softened considerably, “The family rules of the Bei family are made for the people of the Bei family. As long as a member of the Bei family commits a mistake, then the head of the Bei family will punish the wrongdoer according to the family rules.”

“What does being family matter? Above kinship, there are still right and wrong, and that’s a principle I’ll teach you today.”

“Right and wrong?” Bei Yun’s face showed a trace of mocking laughter, “Every man for himself, heaven’s wrath will befall those who do not.”

“To deliberately harm others is wrong. What you want to obtain, you should use legitimate means to get, not rely on robbery and slaughter.”

“You were originally on Tianlong Gang’s side, but now that you’ve come to Capital City and clung to my coattails, you should be on our side. Besides, you enjoy Xiaomai’s cooking so much. If something happens to her, do you think you’ll have delicious food to taste in the future?”

“For the sake of your taste buds, you should also tell me who was after Young Master Tong’s life in the beginning.”

After hearing this, Bei Yun fell silent, then got up slowly. Once he had steadied himself, he looked at Bei Lingsu, “If I tell you, you must ensure my safety.”

“I and the Divine Crossbow Team will give you the best protection.”

“It was Yu Zizhou,” Bei Yun gave the answer.

“What?!” Qiao Xiaomai couldn’t help but exclaim in shock.

“Is it that hard to understand?” Bei Yun looked at her, the customary smile appearing on his face, “Back at Hongxing Gambling House, Tong Sanlang made him lose face and even lost the Extreme Flavor Restaurant. His revenge is quite normal.”

“Moreover, this time coming to Capital City, I didn’t seek anyone out but him. Why did I look for him? Because he once was my employer.”

Qiao Xiaomai “…”

Tong Sanlang frowned, “Impossible, right? Yu Zizhou was taken into custody by the Minister of the Left as soon as he left the Palace. Where would he get together with Tianlong Gang?”

“The Minister didn’t have experts like the Divine Crossbow Team guarding him as they do me. His Martial Arts are not weak, so slipping out of the residence to connect with people at night is normal, isn’t it?” Bei Yun said with a laugh.

Bei Lingsu’s playful brows creased, “Stop laughing.”

A moment ago, he seemed deathly still, and now he was laughing again. He must have suppressed all the negative emotions from before.

If he keeps bottling up these negative emotions, who knows what kind of twisted things he could do.

Bei Yun looked at her upon hearing this and shook his head, “I have to laugh. Just now, that one moment you exerted took too much of my energy and emotions. I must maintain a smile. I can’t afford any more emotional fluctuations, or the poison in me will act up.”
