Are you stupid? I am the villain behind the scenes

Time passed mercilessly. Every minute and every second that passed seemed to cut off a piece of Fu Lan's remaining patience, which gradually disappeared.

Finally, the one-hour limit was up. Fu Lan slowly shifted his gaze from the watch face, and his cold eyes fell directly on Li Qingchi.

The wound on the palm of his hand had stopped bleeding, and Fu Lan placed his injured hand firmly on the bomb button.

"It seems that Chief Li is going to choose to go to hell together." Fu Lan said this coldly, as if issuing an ultimatum to the other party.

When Li Qingchi saw Fu Lan's actions, his desire to survive suddenly surged up, and he blurted out almost subconsciously: "Stop!"

"I have searched every place in the Li family, but I couldn't find the ring. That means someone has taken it away. How can I find it in such a short time?"

Fu Lan didn't care about Li Qingchi's difficulties: "That's your business! If we can't find the ring, no one will survive!"

It makes no sense!

Li Qingchi was so angry that he couldn't speak.

At this time, Qi Man stood up and said, "Fu Lan, listen to me, leave first, and I will return the ring to you as soon as I find it."

Qi Man has never left. The four great families have shared weal and woe since their establishment. The Li family is now facing a threat to its survival. How can her Qi family sit idly by and stay out of it?

After hearing what Qi Man said, Fu Lan turned his head to look at her and sneered, "Listen to you? Who do you think you are? I forgot to tell you, I have planted bombs on all four of your families. If this one explodes, the other three families will also - bang! Blast until not even a bone is left."

Qi Man's face suddenly changed, "You are absolutely crazy!"

Shen Lingtan, who was standing by, was already filled with anger. When he heard Fu Lan's words, he could no longer suppress his anger. He shouted, "Okay, you blow it up. At worst, we'll all die together!"

He didn't want to live anyway, so if he could drag Fu Lan to die with him, it would be considered as revenge for Lan Yi.

"Lingtan! Calm down!" Li Qingchi hurriedly grabbed the out-of-control Shen Lingtan, but in fact he felt a little gloating when he heard that Fu Lan had also placed bombs in the other three families.

He thought, it can't be his Li family that is always unlucky, if everyone is unlucky together, at least he will feel a little more balanced.

"Let me go, I'll beat him to death before I die." Shen Lingtan struggled, his eyes red, as if he had lost his mind.

Shen Lingtan’s ninth-level martial arts strength was not in vain, and Li Qingchi couldn’t stop him alone, so Qi Man helped.

The two of them worked together to barely hold Shen Lingtan back.

"Enough! Lingtan, no one wants to die." Li Qingchi pulled the clothes on Shen Lingtan's chest, trying to call back his reason, "Don't forget your identity, do you want to let thousands of people be buried with you because of your impulse alone!"

These words touched Shen Lingtan. He stopped struggling and did not speak. He was like a deflated ball, with a dull expression.

"Think about the people who are still alive," Li Qingchi continued, pointing in a direction. "Your grandson is there. If the bomb explodes, he will die too. He is your beloved child. Can you bear to let him die?"

The "grandson" that Li Qingchi mentioned was undoubtedly Yi Mu.

Neither he nor Hua Xi hid their faces, and Li Qingchi had discovered them long ago, but he was busy dealing with Fu Lan and ignored them. Now was a good time to bring Yi Mu out so that Shen Lingtan could calm down completely.

Shen Lingtan's body trembled slightly when he heard this, and then he slowly looked in the direction that Li Qingchi pointed, and as expected, he saw Yi Mu's figure.

"Yi Mu..."

At this moment, Yi Mu's face was as calm as water, without any fluctuation in expression, and he met Shen Lingtan's eyes.

However, just such a simple eye contact made Shen Lingtan's heart tremble.

He pushed Li Qingchi away and walked quickly towards Yi Mu.

And Yi Mu just stood there quietly, watching Shen Lingtan walk towards him step by step.

When Shen Lingtan finally walked up to Yi Mu, he stopped and said, “You… heard everything.”

It was a sentence without a beginning or an end, but Yi Mu knew what Shen Lingtan meant.

Yi Mu hummed.

He already knew that Fu Lan was the mastermind behind the murder of his mother.

Shen Lingtan blamed himself and said, "Now the murderer is right in front of me, but Grandpa can't do anything. I am not a good father. I am sorry to Lan Yi..."

Li Qingchi's words reminded him that he had the responsibility of a family and he could not be so selfish.

"Indeed." Yi Mu agreed with Shen Lingtan's words. He heard clearly that Fu Lan attacked his mother because of Shen Lingtan.

Therefore, Shen Lingtan has an unshirkable responsibility for his mother's death.

Yi Mu blamed Chen Lingtan, but he was just blaming him. Fu Lan was the culprit who killed his mother, and he wanted to kill his enemy immediately.

Yi Mu raised his eyes, his sight passed through Shen Lingtan like a cold arrow, and finally fixed on Fu Lan who was not far away. At the same time, he said to Shen Lingtan: "You are the patriarch of your clan, and I will avenge my mother myself."

"No! How could I let you take risks alone? I will kill Fu Lan sooner or later. Just be good and don't do anything." Shen Lingtan's face changed. How could he agree to let his grandson deal with such a dangerous person like Fu Lan.

Here, the grandfather and grandson were in a stalemate, and over there, because the ring could not be found for a long time, a sense of crisis that their lives were hanging by a thread hung in everyone's heart.

"Qingchi, think about it carefully. Has anyone entered your study and taken the ring?" Qi Man, who was always calm, couldn't remain calm at this moment.

This concerns the life and death of their four major families, so she has no choice but to be anxious.

"No, I was the only one who entered the study yesterday." Li Qingchi was also worried.

"Could it be on you?" Qi Man asked casually after hearing that. She was just guessing, thinking that there might be such a possibility, but she didn't hold much hope.

"How could it be on me..." Although Li Qingchi said this, his hand honestly reached into his pocket.

The next moment, his expression froze.

It must be his illusion. Why did his hand seem to touch something cold, hard, and ring-shaped?

Qi Man saw that Li Qingchi's reaction was not right, and asked in disbelief: "What's your expression? Is the ring really in your pocket?"

As soon as she said this, the people around her turned their eyes to Li Qingchi.

Li Qingchi: ...

Would he keep his voice down and let everyone know that he was the one who hid the ring?

wrong!

He didn't hide!

Someone deliberately put the ring into his pocket to make him look bad!

I have to say, this person achieved his goal.

As long as he takes out the ring, everyone will think that he has kept it for himself. Even if he explains, some people probably won't believe him.

In short, after this incident, his majestic image was ruined.

However, the most urgent task is to resolve the threat of the bomb first.

Li Qingchi clenched his teeth and slowly took his hand out of his pocket.

When he pulled his hand out completely, a gleaming ring appeared in his palm.

Just as Li Qingchi expected, everyone's eyes on him changed.

Li Qingchi: ...

Li Qingchi immediately threw the ring to Fu Lan and couldn't wait to drive him away, "Get it and leave!"

The ring drew a parabola in the air and landed steadily in Fu Lan's hand.

Fu Lan lowered his eyes and brushed the marks on the ring with trembling fingers.

Yuzhen, I'll take you home now.

The depths of his pupils were filled with tenderness and longing, as if everything around him no longer existed, and only the ring in his hand carried his endless concern.

After a moment, Fu Lan carefully put away the ring, then raised his head, cast an ambiguous glance at Li Qingchi, and then turned and left.

Li Qingchi noticed Fu Lan's look: ...

It really wasn’t the ring he hid!

Damn it, don’t let him catch the bastard who framed him, otherwise he will tear him into pieces!
