Back To The 90s: The Resilient Daughter-In-Law
Chapter 955 - Chapter 955 Chapter 954 Laying the Trap

Chapter 955: Chapter 954: Laying the Trap Chapter 955: Chapter 954: Laying the Trap Huo Beijiang had long seen through Leng Peixi’s character, which was why he had deliberately set up today’s situation.

“Commander, if we let the people come up, isn’t it inappropriate to clash in the graveyard?” Isn’t this disturbing the ancestors? Although the Huo Family’s private land is vast, this place is still a public cemetery. There are thousands of tombstones on the mountainside!

If a fight really breaks out, bullets don’t have eyes.

Huo Beijiang snorted coldly and revealed a mocking smile, “The living are about to die, who cares about those already dead?”

His gaze shifted toward the distance, taking in nearly the entire cemetery from his high vantage point. All he saw were grave after grave, silent and dignified, solemn tombstones.

Cold and emotionless.

“Once a person dies, that’s it! Nothing is left.” Once he had made up his mind, he wouldn’t change it, “Go! Tell Ying Jiuming’s men not to interfere.”

“Yes! I understand.” What the commander says is right!

The dead are not as important as the living.

If we don’t let people come up the mountain, innocent bystanders could get hurt at the foot of the mountain, and Ying Jiuming and his two men would certainly die. With the foot of the mountain crowded and difficult to control, it’s not a good situation.

Allowing people onto the mountain changes everything, as Ying Jiuming’s men only need to control a few key intersections at the bottom. Those who came to pay their respects are soon to descend the mountain, so the conflict later won’t harm the innocent.

After Ning Di left, the memorial service was over.

“Please take care on your way.”

“Thank you for coming to send off my mother for the last time.”

“Be careful on your way down the mountain.”

“Take care.”

Huo Beijiang thanked each visitor. Once the crowd had all gone, Yu Xiaoxiao, Xing Zhou, Lin Yizhong, and Lu Jin appeared out of nowhere, silently standing behind Huo Beijiang.

“Little Deer, escort Comrade Huo Linong down yourself.”

Huo Linong turned abruptly; although his son hadn’t told him anything, he had a rough idea of what was going on in his mind.

“What are you going to do?” Huo Linong was afraid his son would do something foolish. “I’m not going down the mountain.”

“You’d be in the way here,” Huo Beijiang said without mincing words, “You must go down. Otherwise, I won’t have the energy to protect you later. I certainly can’t begin planning a fourth funeral right away.”

“Our Huo Family cannot afford such a loss.”

Huo Linong choked, nearly passing out from anger. He had heard complaints about Bei Jiang’s sharp tongue before, and he had always thought it was just jealousy, people trying to smear his good son.

Now that he was experiencing it first-hand, it was indeed too cutting.

“I can’t just watch you do something foolish.”

“What foolish thing would I do?”

“You, you… are you thinking of dealing with Leng Peixi?” Huo Linong, after all, was a learned man and felt uncomfortable saying the word “kill,” so he chose a more tactful approach.

“Bei Jiang, I know you’re heartbroken, self-blaming, feeling guilty, and you can’t swallow this anger. But you can’t kill Leng Peixi, or else you will ruin your future,” Huo Linong pleaded earnestly.

“Just listen to me this once.” Finally, he clenched his teeth, resolutely, “Alright then! Let me stay, and I’ll be the one to act when the time comes. It’s the same if I do it, that should be okay, right?”

“Would you really bring yourself to do it?”

“Yes!” Huo Linong’s expression was one of agony, “I can’t just watch as you make a mistake and destroy your future.” Let him bear the burden for whatever happens!

When it comes right down to it, he was the one truly responsible for Xue Shan’s death.
