Chapter 46: The Curtain Falls

  The mysterious worship of the Mountain Dragon Gang turned out to be the son of the gang leader, Liang Tianlong. This news was indeed shocking and hard to accept. Seeing the black-robed skeleton helping Liang Tianlong up in front, Wu Rui also fell silent for a moment.

  "Cough...cough..." After coughing out the blood that was stuck in his throat, Liang Tianlong hastily waved his hand and said: "Yuwen, Dad is fine."

  Liang Yuwen no longer shed tears, nor did he sob. He simply stood there with a lifeless expression, leaning against his father, not saying a word. No one could tell what was going on in his mind from his skull-like face, including any emotions.

  At this time, Liang Tianlong cast his gaze on Wu Rui, with a tone of pleading: "One person does things and one person takes responsibility. This time, poisoning your patient was entirely my own idea. I hope you can spare my son!"

  Wu Rui fell silent for a long time, and finally shook his head: "Don't mention that your son's heart is equally vicious, I still owe Lei Qiang a favor."

  "Heh heh, if I told you that Yuwen became like this now all thanks to Li Qiang's kindness?" As soon as he said this, Liang Tianlong's tone turned very sorrowful.

  "I'm not interested in your past grievances, nor do I want to get involved in whatever hatred you have for each other. The child is innocent, and you shouldn't be so viciously targeting a newborn baby. Moreover, I have no reason to let any of you off the hook." Wu Rui continued shaking his head, not responding to the other person's topic.

  However, Liang Tianlong said to himself: "Five years ago, E City didn't have much of a Mountain Dragon Gang, and I was just a gangster. At that time, Yuwen and Li Jiao were university classmates, and the two had a relationship. I had no opinion on it, and I was even relieved that my son could get a beautiful daughter-in-law!"

  At this, Liang Tianlong's expression was painful, and he continued to say: "At that time, we didn't know that Li Jiao was actually the daughter of Li Qiang, the richest man in E City. When Li Qiang learned about it, he even asked someone to kill my son mercilessly. Not only did Li Jiao not stop him, but she also had an intimate relationship with a young master from an official family in Beijing."

  "The people on the road assassinated Yuwen and directly threw his body into the valley. If it weren't for a strange encounter, my son would have been swallowed by wolves long ago. Even if he's alive now, he's still in a state of being neither human nor ghost. Can we not resent the Lei family?"

  "All these years, I've been secretly building my power, just to avenge and settle the score! The child may be innocent, but Yuwen's heart is filled with resentment that cannot be calmed. It's just that his methods are extreme, what fault do we have?!" As he spoke of his deep feelings, Liang Tianlong's eyes turned red, tears streaming down, truly heartbreaking.

  But Wu Rui remained unmoved throughout, only suddenly asking "Are you done?" after the other person finished speaking.

  Liang Tianlong's face changed slightly, and he suddenly pushed Liang Yuwen forward with a loud shout: "Yuwen, run quickly!"

  Then, Liang Tianlong turned around and rushed towards Wu Rui, shouting: "Wu Rui, you are unfair! You are a hypocrite!"

  Wu Rui's face was expressionless, a cluster of dark green flames shot out from his palm, directly scorching towards the pouncing Liang Tianlong.

  "Ah......" After a brief miserable cry, Liang Tianlong was directly turned into flying ash, and even his soul did not remain.

  "Dad!!!" Liang Yuwen cried out in despair, but knowing he couldn't stay there any longer, he suppressed the anger and sadness in his heart and transformed into a cloud of black mist, fleeing towards the back door.

  "Die!" Wu Rui once again expressionlessly released a strand of cinnabar fire, chasing after the fleeing Liang Yuwen at an even faster speed.

  "Rumble!" The movement was very loud, and Liang Yuwen didn't have time to reveal his figure before he followed in his father's footsteps. However, what made Wu Rui feel unexpected was that another object fell from mid-air and landed on the ground - a black jade pendant.

  As soon as the fire broke out, everything was gone. Now, something had actually fallen off Liang Yuwen's body. Wu Rui felt a little surprised, but he quickly thought of something and walked over to pick up the jade pendant that had dropped on the ground.

  "Ghost device?" Wu Rui was somewhat surprised, but at the same time also suddenly enlightened, knowing why Liang Yuwen had not died in spite of great difficulties. It turned out that he happened to be recognized by the ghost device, thus preserving his soul from destruction. Moreover, the ghost device might contain methods for absorbing and cultivating dead energy, which allowed him to achieve what he has today.

  "Haha, Liang Tianlong, you really think I, Wu Rui, am a softie?" Wu Rui shook his head and casually put away the ink jade into the Minna Ring.

  In fact, the story told by Liang Tianlong is touching and should be true. Wu Rui's heart was indeed moved, but she wasn't fooled. Even if it were true, what does that have to do with anything? Are you, Liang Tianlong, a good person? Both father and son are full of evil energy, especially that half- skull, which must have been cultivated from the pile of dead people. A pitiful person must have a hateful place.

  What's more important is that a grudge has already been formed between them, and if they are released today, they may not be grateful but instead secretly seek revenge, just like taking revenge on the Li family. How can Wu Rui possibly let them off?

  As for the injustice that the Li family has suffered, this is none of Wu Rui's concern and he won't bother with it. He is a doctor, not a policeman, and he only takes responsibility for his own patients.

  If Liang Tiandong hadn't let people poison and frame him, Wu Rui's patient, the current situation of the Liang family wouldn't have happened. And if Liang Tiandong had only targeted Wu Rui, Wu Rui might not have resorted to killing him either. In fact, Wu Rui didn't really want to kill anyone, and this was also his first time killing a person; before that, he had only killed wild beasts.

  However, where in the world are there so many ifs? The outcome has already been decided, and even gods cannot change it. The soul is gone, and saints can't save it. This is the rule of heaven, a rule that no one can change. At least, this is what Wu Rui knows to be true.

  Looking at the trembling crowd of gunmen below, Wu Rui expressionlessly said: "What happened just now, you must not leak it out. If I find out who dares to disobey my orders, I will show no mercy!"

  With a harsh remark, Wu Rui left Shanlong Manor directly.

  Killing someone can silence them, but Wu Rui wasn't a killing maniac, and as a cultivator with a sect, he didn't worry about his 'inhuman' methods being exposed. Leaving a warning was just to prevent the situation from escalating, nothing more.

  Even if someone among them really leaked out the scene just now, Wu Rui actually didn't bother to care about it. He didn't have the leisurely mood to deal with such trivial matters. Rather than wasting time with them, Wu Rui would rather stay in his clinic treating a few patients or examining people on the street.
