Chapter 963 - The Real Culprit
"T-That young man who beat my son was Player Yuan?! Impossible! I won't fall for this!" Zheng Ye was in denial.
However, inside his mind, he started recalling a certain rumor that White Lotus had managed to contact Player Yuan in Cultivation Online.
"I don't care if you believe it or not. However, it is a fact that your family had just tried to assassinate Player Yuan! If the other families learn of this, nobody will dare to stay by your side!" Bai Mengyao shouted.
"Stop! I swear on my ancestors' graves that our Zheng Family had nothing to do with the assasination! Do you really think that I would do something as blatant and reckless as shooting up a street in broad daylight?!"
Bai Mengyao frowned, and he started wondering if the Zheng Family had truly called in the assassination on Yuan.
"Anyways, do not bother me or my family again until you have concrete proof that it was my family who ordered the hit! And if you dare spread such rumors, I will sue you for slander!"
Zheng Ye closed the video call shortly after and started pacing back and forth his room with a panicked expression on his face.
He was telling the truth when he claimed that he had nothing to do with the assassination attempt, but he had a feeling that he knew the true culprit behind this madness.
He eventually picked up his phone and called his son, Zheng Weimin.
"Hello?" Zheng Weimim picked up the phone after a few rings.
"You crazy bastard! What have you done?! Tell me you are not behind the shooting this afternoon!" Zheng Ye's voice was so loud that it dazed Zheng Weimin.
However, to his surprise, Zheng Weimin spoke in a calm voice, "Huh? They already got to work? What a pleasant surprise! I really thought it would take at least a few days!"
"Y-You… Are you serious?" Zheng Ye could feel his legs giving out on him after hearing his son's words.
"Yes, I am. I was the one who ordered the hit on that bastard, so what? This will teach White Lotus what will happen if she dares to approach any man that is not me!" Zheng Weimin laughed out loud.
'This bastard's gone insane! Did he hit his head during his fight with Yuan?' Zheng Ye cried inwardly.
He always knew that his son was a crazy bastard, but even he couldn't have anticipated that his son would be crazy enough to hire assassins!
'I have underestimated him! This is bad! Really bad!'
"Don't worry, father." Zheng Ye suddenly said.
"I made sure there were no traces or evidence of my involvement, so they won't be able to hold us accountable."
Zheng Ye sighed out loud and said, "Have you seen the news?"
"No, I haven't. Why?" Zheng Ye asked in a puzzled voice.
"There were no deaths. In other words, your assassination attempt has failed."
