833 I will die for you to see



This was the plan with which they all came up, they knew that they could not barge inside the manor and just declare that the Chen sisters were not humans but demonic beings. If they did that then they will be treated as someone who had lost their minds which was why they decided to dump the pot of blame on the unconscious Commander Chen, though this step was a bit ruthless, there was no other choice.

Old Master Yan had heard from his sons that the demonic forms of the two Chen sisters were scary and terrifying. They even had the power to lull a man to do their bidding unless the will of that man was strong enough to ignore that voice, no sane man would take on something as dangerous as that and even face it with a smile on their face which was why Old master Yan decided that he was going to use the unconscious Commander Chen as a shield.

No one knew when Commander Chen was going to wake up and even if he was treated as a traitor no one was going to drag him into the prison and punish him, if anyone was going to get punished then it would be Old Master Chen and his family, which was something that was completely fine by Old Master Yan given that this man knew what that lucky portrait was all about! 

He brought that dangerous thing inside the military district and even made use of it, in the past Old Master Yan thought that Old Master Chen was fortunate since he met with such cases which solved on their own and gave him enough credit to rise and become a commissioner in the military so quickly. 

Unlike him who relied on his skills, Old Master Chen was all about luck but Old Master Yan never felt that there was anything wrong with it since he knew that luck was a kind of skill as well but who would have thought that the luck which he was banking on was borrowed like that? 

Old Master Yan was both disgusted and disappointed upon finding out the truth, it wasn't as if Old Master Chen would have never become a commissioner, if he continued to work hard then he would have definitely reached that position with his own hard work, it might have taken a long time and maybe the glory would have stayed with him only for a few years but it was honest work! 

How can it even compare to covering one's hands with blood? 

Just because Old Master Chen wanted glory and fame as quickly as possible, he turned a blind eye to everything that was happening and even ignored the vanishing reports of young women —— back then he thought that he was doing it because he wanted to keep his daughters safe but now he knew that he did all of that because he wished to keep himself safe!

Even if Old Master Chen might not have any idea what was growing in his family, it was impossible for him not to know that the lucky portrait was behind all the disappearance of the young women but he deliberately chose to ignore it because he was not willing to lose the fame which was borrowed by the lives of many young women. 

Shameless!

So why does it matter if he was punished? It was what he deserved! 

When Old Master Chen heard Old Master Yan's words, he started to sweat under his clothes, though he did not know what was going on in his house, he had a feeling that if allowed this investigation to happen something might happen what was more there was the lucky portrait as well, what if someone took note of it, what will he do then? 

Old Master Chen had his own worries while Old Madam Chen's worries were also the same, she was very much aware of the fact that the disappearance of the young women had something to do with the lucky portrait because each time they made a wish and it got fulfilled, a woman would vanish from the face of the earth. 

This was what they were very much aware of but chose to turn a blind eye, and it was just as the others say —— one with a black heart would always be terrified of the right ones.

At this moment the Chen couple was scared —-no, they were terrified they ignored everything but surely these people won't ignore what they did. 

When Old Master Yan turned to look at the soldiers preparing to order them to dig the entire Chen family up, Old Madam Chen once again flared up as she started to scold those who were standing outside the Chen residence, " I am not allowing you to this, my son was attacked and my granddaughter was poisoned they are fighting for their lives and here you are acting like my son had done something wrong? I know that you are trying to push your sons to the top but this is definitely not the way!" She then turned to look at her husband and then said, " See this? This is your good friend! He acted honestly in front of us behaving like he truly cares about our son and now he is doing something like this! He surely has a black heart! He is tarnishing our son as well as the Chen family's reputation! What sin have we committed?" 

" I have a black heart?" Old Master Yan was so angry that he laughed. " Excuse me, Old Madam Chen but this is what the higher-ups approved, the deathly attack on your son has raised many questions. Clearly, there is no war so what kind of force drove the attacker to hurt Commander Chen like this? Not even sparing a young child! We believe that something is being hidden from us which is why we only want to investigate and restore Commander Chen's glory! If anything your continuous opposition makes me wonder if there is something which you need to hide from us." 

Mother Chen choked on her sobs as she cursed in her head, the hatred in her eyes rose as she looked at Old Master Yan, her glare was so terrifying that Old Master Yan felt his hair rise on the end, seeing that there was no way she will be able to stop them, Old Madam Chen said ruthlessly, " If you dare investigate our family, I will die in front of you to see!"
