Are you stupid? I am the villain behind the scenes

Li Qingchi returned to the Li family with a gloomy face. He was holding back a rage and kicked out suddenly. The powerful force instantly smashed a table into pieces.

When Shen Kun came over, what caught his eye was the mess of wood chips all over the ground.

"Who made you angry?"

Li Qingchi stood among the debris, rubbing his temples with his fingers, his brows full of suppressed irritation. He said in a deep voice: "Qi Ce is not dead, he is in Xuan Palace."

Shen Kun was quite surprised when he heard this.

He has been following up experiments in the laboratory all this time and has not had time to learn about the situation outside.

"He didn't die? Xuanzhu saved him?"

"I don't know, but he already knows about the blood draw. We can't leave this hidden danger."

Li Qingchi slowly put down his hand that was rubbing his temple and said firmly: "You arrange a few people to sneak into Xuan Palace and kill him, and then put the blame on Fu Weizhen."

Li Qingchi narrowed his eyes slightly, revealing a hint of coldness, "He is investigating the blood draw, and we must not let him find out about me."

Shen Kun nodded solemnly, "I understand. I'll make the arrangements."

Li Qingchi saw the paper in Shen Kun's hand and asked, "What are the results of the experiment?"

Shen Kun quickly handed the report in his hand to Li Qingchi and said, "I was just about to tell you that Bai Sheng's blood is indeed effective, but it is not stable yet and needs further research."

Li Qingchi took the report and stared at the data on it, frowning more and more. He said seriously, "Speed ​​up the progress. We can't delay any longer."

He is seventy-eight years old and has been feeling increasingly powerless and his mental strength is not as good as before.

If the experiment fails to succeed within two years, everything he has done in the past twenty years will be wasted.

Accelerating the research means needing more Hua Xi's blood.

Shen Kun hesitated for a moment and said, "Then Bai Sheng..."

Li Qingchi pondered for a while and said, "Find a suitable time to create an accident and let her die by accident."

This way, people can take it to the laboratory and draw blood at any time.

……

Qi Ce didn't know that he had become Li Qingchi's assassination target.

After seeing off the three clan leaders, Ji Xianchen kept him and asked him where he found the person.

Qi Ce's anger towards Ji Xianchen had subsided, so he answered him when he asked, "It was near Yuanshan. I was looking for Yinteng grass, and then I saw him."

Ji Xianchen was thoughtful: "Yuanshan..."

Yuanshan is actually a mass grave in Xuanzhou. Local people think that the place is too gloomy, so few people set foot there and no one lives nearby.

The name "Yuanshan" was chosen just to make it sound more masculine.

Qi Ce frowned and said, "I also felt strange at that time. Why would the Song family go to Yuanshan? But I didn't think much about it at the time. Now I think there might be something wrong with Yuanshan. Maybe those who were captured are hiding in Yuanshan."

Ji Xianchen had the same guess in his mind, but he was not going to use his own people to search Yuanshan.

Qi Ce is in Xuan Palace, and he is afraid that Li Qingchi has already set his sights on him. Now is not the time to openly oppose him, so he has to let someone else be the first to speak out.

And he chose Song Guwei as the first one to stand out.

According to his observation, Song Guwei should know nothing about what Li Qingchi did behind the scenes.

If we reveal the clues about Yuanshan to him, he will definitely send people to search the mountain. He can also take the opportunity to shift the blame to him and intensify the conflict between their families.

Ji Xianchen had an idea in his mind and immediately sent someone to pass the news to Song Guwei.

After Song Guwei received the news, just as Ji Xianchen had expected, he immediately sent people to Yuanshan to search for people.

……

The Song family searched Yuanshan for a whole day and night, turning almost the entire mountain upside down, but they found nothing.

There were nothing but dead bones in the mountains, no sign of any living people.

After Song Guwei learned of the result, he angrily rushed to Xuan Palace again to demand an explanation.

"Didn't you say that the person was hiding in Yuanshan? Where is he? Tell me, where is he!"

Facing Song Guwei's accusation, Ji Xianchen said calmly: "Patriarch Song, I am just guessing, I have not confirmed it."

This result was within his expectations.

Since Li Qingchi dared to do it, he must have made full preparations and would not be easily found.

Song Guwei looked at Ji Xianchen's calm attitude, and his anger grew even stronger. He shouted loudly: "You just said it was a guess, and made all the people in the Song family work in vain. I think you are deliberately playing tricks on me! The murderer is Qi Ce, and you are protecting him."

"I'm going to kill him now, and then I'll settle the score with you."

Ji Xianchen was not panicked at all.

At this moment, a powerful female voice came over:

"Gu Wei, calm down. Qi Ce can't die yet."

It’s Qi Man.

Ji Xianchen had anticipated that Song Guwei would not give up, so he asked someone to invite Qi Man in advance.

Now the only one who can persuade Song Guwei is Qi Man, and Song Guwei will listen to her words to some extent.

When Song Guwei heard Qi Man's voice, he paused and turned back to glare at her, "I am very calm. Qi Ce, I must kill him!"

Qi Man walked forward calmly and patiently advised: "Gu Wei, now is not the time to act on impulse. Qi Ce may know some clues that we don't know. Killing him will not help us find the truth."

Song Guwei was still stubborn: "What truth? The truth is that you have all been misled. Qi Ce is the murderer!"

Qi Man frowned slightly, "You are so sure, then explain why Qi Ce only arrested people of a certain age group. Moreover, among those people, there are many who are at level 6 or 7. How did Qi Ce, who is at level 5, take them away without anyone noticing?"

Her eyes were sharp and her words were full of rational analysis.

Song Guwei was stunned for a moment, then said, "What's so difficult about this? He uses poison."

Qi Man continued to ask: "Okay, use poison, then explain how he succeeds every time? Don't say that those people are not prepared at all."

Ever since returning from Xuan Palace last time, Qi Man has been thinking about it over and over again. The whole incident is indeed full of doubts.

When sentencing Qi Ce, I was so angry that I overlooked many details.

Now think about it carefully, if Qi Ce is really the murderer, many things don't make sense.

Song Guwei was speechless for a moment and his face turned ugly.

After a long silence, Song Guwei gritted his teeth and said, "Okay, I'll trust you again. But Qi Ce better give me a satisfactory explanation, otherwise, no one can protect him."

After saying that, he shook his hand fiercely and turned away.

Ji Xianchen thanked Qi Man: "Thank you, Patriarch Qi."

Qi Man looked at Song Guwei's receding back, "Master Xuan, who do you think it could be?"

Ji Xianchen understood that she was referring to the real murderer.

He and Qi Man were looking in the same direction, and he said slowly, "Don't you already have someone you suspect in your mind?"

Qi Man paused for a moment, then turned to look at Ji Xianchen. "It seems like you think the same as I do. If he really did it... then this matter is not that simple."

The person Qi Man suspected was Li Qingchi. She always felt that the real murderer came from a noble family, and Li Qingchi was the most suspicious.

Ji Xianchen: "If it is really that person, what are you going to do?"

Qi Man's eyes were firm: "If it is really him, then I will never let him go. No matter how powerful he is, he should not kill innocent lives."
