Chapter 170: Old Patriarch He

Qin An paused at the words he heard.

Killed? Since when did these words make Qin An stunned? Hearing this kind of incident was heard too often that he lost count and it seemed endless from the souls he received. Most died because of the unfortunate fate of being killed.

Qin An has even heard how they died in the most brutal that a person can think of. Furthermore, he was no longer unfamiliar with seeing a child ghost. There are even some younger children than her, but what was his reason? It was actually not about her words but the appearance that he saw when she raised her head and finally looked at him.

... She looks like Pei Roujin.

Even though there are still differences, especially since she’s still a child and a girl, one look could tell that they look very similar in some ways.

Is she Pei Roujin’s younger sister? Although he never heard about their mentor’s family background, it can be seen from his successful career that he’s quite wealthy. From what the girl said, she and her mother were both killed?

Wait, if her mother died too, where is she and why is she not with her child?

"Where’s your mother?" Qin An asked but the latter had only a confused face, indicating that she really didn’t know.

"You didn’t see her when you came out of your body?"

The young girl shook her head again. Qin An was silent again and began pondering whether he should ask Pei Roujin. If they were killed and they still have resentment on their bodies, they probably haven’t had justice for themselves.

However, asking him was a tantamount of exposing his identity. That was out of his plans for now.

Who should he ask? The Marshal?

But Qin An thinks he couldn’t ask the latter for now because as far as he said, the mess outside is just getting started. They would probably have no time for another one.

Qin An is actually right. As of now, when they went back to the He mansion, He Li saw his parents and his grandfather waiting for him. They all have solemn expressions and when they saw him, his grandfather stood up from his seat and ordered to go to the study room to talk.

And because this matter includes others too, the whole team is included in their meeting.

The Old Patriarch of the clan sat down on the family head’s chair and looked at He Li.

"He Li, have you considered what you released?"

Even with the old age, the back of the Old Patriarch is still straight. He wears an intimidating and majestic aura that reveals his decades of being a frontliner soldier. Even when he has already retired and has not fought for a long time, the traces of his heroic deeds will always be with him.

The members on the side were just silent and they couldn’t even look at the Old Patriarch’s eyes except for He Li himself. Other than that it is his own grandfather and the master who trained him ever since he was young, He Li’s determination for what he did was firmier and he knew that to emphasize that he really wanted to give Fu Minghao justice, he knew he had to be firm and strong.

Thus, looking straight at the Old Patriarch’s eyes, he nodded. "Yes, Grandpa."

"..." A long silence engulfed the study room after that. Seeing He Li’s decision made the members of the family know that the information was really true.

But the Old Admiral Sheng? Even the Old Patriarch knew him because he had also fought war alongside him. They are the generations where the world wasn’t peaceful and thus they have to fight harder than anyone else to protect the country.

They were comrades. Even though they are not close, they have fought with the same war over and over again. The Old Patriarch He trusted him as a soldier who kept his oath to protect the country.

Hearing that he was not really the man that everyone sees, they felt complicated.

Who would have thought that it was not just the blood of the Zergs and enemies that were in the Old Admiral’s hands but rather stained with blood from innocents just for the hidden greed inside him?

"What are your plans after this?" He Zhen, He Li’s father asked them.

"Other than Minghao, we also found other information about the Old Admiral’s deed. They are mostly due for power or for his grandson Sheng Du." Ji Wen proceeded on explaining what they had discovered and also presented the strong evidence they had in front of them.

The three members of He family scan the documents Ji Wen handed and anger flashed in their eyes when the truth was laid in front of them.

"Damn, I can’t believe he could do this just for that bastard? No wonder Sheng Du couldn’t even fight with the Zergs but had a high position for too long." He Zhen couldn’t help but curse. The list that the Old Admiral did to manipulate and cover up the troubles that his grandson Sheng Du had was too long and there had been too many innocent lives that were affected by them.

The Old Admiral’s heroic deeds were not enough to cover up these or even if he is the President in this federation, it cannot change the fact that he actually did something horrible just for the sake of his useless grandson who only knew how to whine and be arrogant.

He Zhen’s filter for the Old Admiral finally shattered into pieces and the admiration for the old man faded in an instant after this.

The Old Patriarch also saw the documents and could only sigh in disappointment. All the merit he accumulated for all these years was just in vain. He sacrificed everything for something that is obviously useless. It seems that there’s nothing to do to overturn this anymore.

The Old Patriarch looked at He Li and his team and solemnly said, "Since you’re ready to win this battle, I will support you until you can get the justice you want."

He Li’s brows soften at his grandfather’s words. "Thank you, Grandpa."

Fu Minglei, who was forcefully hiding his anxiety for the fear of not just dragging the Marshal to this mess but also the anxiety that the old patriarch might order them to leave this out faded. His eyes turned red and he could only lower his head to hide the emotions in his eyes.

Brother, I can finally give you justice. It won’t be too long to wait anymore.

Fu Minglei could feel the pat on his back from his team. They are happy too for this good news ahead.

"However..."

The atmosphere freezes when the Old Patriarch seems to be unfinished in his words. The sharpness on his eyes shoots at them as he speaks. "How did you know that it was him who was behind this?"

"..." He Li’s team didn’t answer.

"I know that all these years, you had been secretly constant on finding the culprit but there was no use. What happened had been erased for too long and I don’t believe that there was no other reason why your suspicion suddenly turned to him." The Old Patriarch’s warning eyes glance at them.

"Tell me the truth."
