32: Chapter 16 Is that it?

The sudden change in the situation caused all the armed personnel present to stiffen, disbelief filling their eyes.

They only saw Li Yelai, who they had surrounded, suddenly disappear from their field of vision.

The next second, he appeared behind them, holding a long knife in front of Wang De.

How could they not be startled by this eerie scene?

But the armed personnel dared not move, as Li Yelai’s long knife was already pressed against Wang De’s neck.

With just a slight lift of his hand, he could slit Wang De’s throat.

The detective, however, breathed a sigh of relief internally, as he clearly understood what had happened.

Li Yelai had used the capability of his Spiritual Ability Equipment to disrupt everyone’s vision.

For a Spiritual Ability User, such a disruption would last only fractions of a second.

But for ordinary people, it meant over a second of lost vision.

Enough time for Li Yelai to move straight through the encirclement, draw his knife from the Black Umbrella, and directly threaten Wang De.

Instantly deterring everyone.

At that moment, the detective was extremely grateful to have invited Li Yelai.

If he were alone, he’d probably be at a disadvantage by now.

With Wang De’s dominance, if they had persisted, it was likely someone would have started shooting.

To protect his Family secret, he truly wouldn’t hesitate to kill two Spiritual Ability Users.

But at that moment, Wang De could only look at Li Yelai silently with a stern face.

And Li Yelai, looking down upon Wang De, cast a shadow over him as the light from the living room lamp shone down.

Li Yelai was truly becoming angered; naturally, he had no interest in meddling with other people’s family affairs.

However, if it involved Spiritual Ability Users and Taboo Items, it might be a tremendous hidden danger.

If things spiraled out of control, it could result in unimaginable disasters, harming many innocents.

Like Doctor Wang, like the girl who had been consumed.

This old Bideng, for the so-called family secret, wanted to obstruct the investigation and even threaten with a gun.

If things were to reach an irreversible point, how many ‘Doctor Wangs’ would be affected and harmed?

Fortunately, even though this world has many injustices due to wealth, status, and power,

At least …

death is fair.

At that moment, even Wang De, with his years of experience as a Scavenger, felt suffocated.

His left hand had already reached inside his pajamas, as if he was about to pull out some weapon to resist.

But ultimately, he chose not to act, knowing he couldn’t be faster than Li Yelai’s knife.

Just as Li Yelai said, try saying one more word?

To try would mean true death!

“Calm down!

I know you’re with the officials, but pointing a weapon at civilians is a bit too irregular, isn’t it?” Mr.

Wang’s son spoke nervously to persuade.

Then, the middle-aged woman spoke up: “That’s right, do you think you’re threatening?

Do you know the consequences of this?

Can you withstand our retaliation?

Don’t you think about your family …”

“Shut up, fool!” Wang De said in a low growl, his face stern.

He had already seen the cold glint in Li Yelai’s eyes.

His words had touched the other’s raw nerve.

This guy clearly wasn’t one of those who could be oppressed or intimidated by family power.

Such threats only backfired.

Wang De even suspected that his third daughter intended to force his death to inherit the family fortune.

Thus, after weighing the situation multiple times, Wang De turned to the armed personnel and said, “Withdraw.”

Then, Wang De slowly leaned back on the sofa, and said to Li Yelai: “It seems, sir, you won’t rest until the investigation is clear?

Why meddle in affairs that don’t concern you?

Stepping back now could bring you more benefits.

As a Spiritual Ability User, you have many expenses, don’t you?

Why not choose to take the money and leave?

For the sake of so-called justice?”

It must be said, Wang De could be humble when needed, completely abandoning his previous dominance and speaking calmly with Li Yelai.

Li Yelai replied indifferently: “What’s it to you?”

Wang De smiled faintly and began: “Young man, do you know?

Some people are doggedly pursuing their sense of justice.

When I was a Scavenger, I saw many of them.”

The crowd listened in silence, curious to hear more.

Wang De spoke leisurely: “In those days, the wilderness was very dangerous.

Not only did one have to face packs of wild beasts, but also beware of backstabbing from peers and even run into mysterious beings.

In such an environment, they were tough yet fragile, simple yet dangerous.

Chasing what they believed to be the right idea.

Even if it was laughable and naive, they pursued it tirelessly, firmly moving forward.

And the most valuable thing was, they were filled with a spirit of rebellion but were easily swayed by emotion.

Yet these people had one thing in common…”

Wang De looked towards Li Yelai: “Want to know what it is?”

Li Yelai did not respond.

Wang De didn’t press further.

Seeing Li Yelai lower his long knife, Wang De finally pulled his hand out and slowly stood up with the help of the sofa.

Then, he picked up a cane and standing still, said to the girl in the white dress: “You want to know the family secret?”

“I want to know why my parents died.” The girl in the white dress replied firmly.

“Just don’t regret it.

Then follow me, all of you, come with me.”

He walked out of the room with his cane, only to find Li Yelai closely following behind.

The crimson long knife was held in a single hand, clearly ready to guard against not only himself but also the armed personnel not far behind.

Wang De didn’t speak but continued to move forward.

Even approaching ninety years of age, his steps were steady, and he quickly reached a room on the first floor.

The room’s furnishings were ordinary.

An old bookcase, worn sofas, and a coffee table.

While everyone was wondering, Wang De approached and twisted a candlestick in the room.
