Chapter 175: Chapter 174 Feiwei says, Feiwei also says, Feiwei still says

"Third Young Master, no matter what, Su Ke didn’t deserve such an end!"

"Yes, yes, Third Young Master, you must persuade the Young Master. Even if it’s to appease the group of green-eyed people, they shouldn’t target us!"

"Third Young Master..."

Jing Seminar faced the clan members surrounding him with a bitter smile, soothing them gently, saying, "I will go and discuss with my elder brother; everyone, don’t worry too much. Besides, Uncle Su really went too far this time, embezzling so much money from the tobacco factory. It’s normal for Big Brother to be so angry, although he might have other reasons."

"We indeed need Third Young Master to liaise more, after all, you are brothers..."

"Of course, of course."

After finally seeing off these clan members, Jing Seminar sighed. Just then, a servant approached, "Third Young Master, the Young Master requests your presence now."

"Alright." Jing Seminar followed the servant all the way to the Hidden Thorn Courtyard, arriving at the entrance, he saw Le Yu sitting inside handling affairs, and couldn’t help but lose focus slightly – the ones who usually occupied that position were his father Jing Qingfu, when his father was ill, it was his second brother Jing Zhengwu, and now it’s his big brother Jing Zhengwei’s turn.

"Big Brother."

Le Yu looked up and said, "Third Brother, you’re here? Sit down."

Jing Seminar went over and sat down, only to realize that his big brother wasn’t handling affairs but reading a novel, and it was a novel he had read before. When he and Feiwei engaged in some bedroom pleasures, they would read this type of novel to study and learn – it’s a locally distinct novel from Xuanzhu... particularly erotic kind.

This discovery instantly brought Jing Seminar back to reality.

In front of him wasn’t a replica of Jing Qingfu, nor an enhanced version of Jing Zhengwu, but the founder of the Youth Daily, the captain of the patrol team, the best recognized heir by Jing Qingfu, the abnormal bloodline of the Jing Family, a mortal embodying both demonic and divine traits – Jing Zhengwei.

Before entering, Jing Seminar never expected someone to read an erotic book in this sacred ancestral Hidden Thorn Study, and after entering, Jing Seminar felt that his elder brother would indeed do such a thing.

Criminal defiance, ignoring morals, acting willfully, expressing desires candidly.

Perhaps, these were the reasons their father chose him.

Le Yu closed the book titled "Primordial Energy Maid," feeling rather disdainful – indeed, the characteristic local books are not much compared to the long-standing classics, although some parts are worthy, but not worth repeating reading.

A sage in their leisure time speaks with confidence.

"Third Brother, you came to me regarding Uncle Su’s matter, right?" Without waiting for Jing Seminar to retort, Le Yu sighed and said, "Actually, I didn’t want to act either, but I’m compelled and forced into this last resort."

"If there were other options, why would I take action against people you brought? If not for your persuasion of those clan members to comply, I’d likely still be struggling internally with them now, how else could the Jing Family quickly revert to normal operations? You agree with this, right?"

Jing Seminar didn’t feel anything towards these platitudes, nodding, "So why did you kill Uncle Su, Big Brother? Embezzlement alone doesn’t warrant that, does it?"

Le Yu shrugged and said, "Third Brother, you know I asked them to write their own agreements with you all a few days ago, trying to meet their wishes as much as possible – this was both to win them over and to see if they were usable, and if anyone disrespected me or asked for too much, I planned to replace such people who don’t understand hierarchy after the storm passed."

Jing Seminar couldn’t help but nod, "Very reasonable, Big Brother, you indeed played an excellent move."

"But Uncle Su, he, he," Le Yu sighed, "he actually believed that during my private meeting with the old patriarch, I assassinated the old patriarch, posing it as the old patriarch’s natural death, and he demanded I explain it to all the Jing Family members!"

Jing Seminar’s eyebrows jumped wildly, "Did he really say that?"

"It’s the truth." Le Yu took out a letter, "His letter is right here; he thinks it was me who killed the old patriarch, and hopes I prove my innocence, vowing to the Jing Family that if I were the killer, I would be forsaken by everyone, with nowhere to turn, meeting a brutal end!"

Jing Seminar didn’t even look at the letter, "So you killed him?"

"He almost assumed I was the one who killed the old patriarch, showing no intention of listening to my leadership as the new patriarch; how could I keep him?" Le Yu feigned helplessness, "I didn’t even dare to bring him in front of everyone for immediate execution. Who knows if he’d spread discord in front of everyone, splitting the Jing Family? Hence, it was done by secret assassination."

Jing Seminar was silent for a moment, then nodded, "If that’s the case, indeed, there’s nothing that could be done..."

"Isn’t that right?" Le Yu smiled, "I hope you, Third Brother, can explain to those clan members that I’m not targeting them, it’s just that Uncle Su clung onto me relentlessly..."

"I will explain, don’t worry, Big Brother."

"Then I’m relieved."

"But Feiwei is not relieved," Jing Seminar suddenly said, "She told me if the reason for Big Brother’s killing of Uncle Su is excessively against human nature, it signifies your killing will continue."

Le Yu raised an eyebrow, "Against human nature?"

"Even though Uncle Su had a strong relationship with Father, he wasn’t a partner of justice," Jing Seminar said solemnly, "For him, Father’s death would only shed a teardrop or two, nothing more. He absolutely wouldn’t be plagued by Father’s death, and when he heard I told them to support you, Big Brother, he showed a look of relief—he wouldn’t resist you at all."

"Feiwei also said, next time, you might target people on Second Brother’s side. And this person would definitely not be the most powerful among them, but picked from the weakest and most easily bullied."

"Feiwei also said, if this is true, I should pretend to know nothing and leave quietly." Jing Seminar said, "But I can’t do that. Big Brother, how many more do you want to kill? Will you and Feiwei kill me?"

"Just after the first death, could you guys analyze so much?" Le Yu smiled wryly.

"Not just this alone." Jing Seminar said, "Feiwei finally said, if you really did it deliberately, then you surely have an urgent plan you want to realize. Killing Uncle Su, the goal is nothing but gaining control of the Jing Family, but you could outlive these elders, and with small means, you could completely replace the important positions in the Jing Family with your own people within two to three years."

"If you can’t even wait for two to three years, then it suggests what you want to do must occur this year."

"Big Brother, what exactly do you want to do?"

Le Yu couldn’t help but rub his temples, pondering how to brush off this wife-fearing Third Brother.

He barely managed to negotiate a perfect ’Jing Family Completion Plan’ with Yin Minghong, only to have the first step of its execution discovered by the Jing Seminar couple.

Either showing they’re idiots, or there were too many smart people in the Jing Family, Le Yu believed it was the latter – those who weren’t smart had already become sacrifices in the Jing Family’s Gu raising field.

He glanced at the Youth Daily placed by his hand and asked, "Third Brother, did you read the new issue of Youth Daily?"

"I have."

"Did you see the question, ’Would you feel guilty after doing bad things? If so, how do you bring yourself to peace,’ in the ’Knowledge Discussion Zone’ section?"

"I’ve read all the responses," Jing Seminar faintly sensed the Big Brother’s answer.

"Then, let me use one of the responses to answer you." Le Yu unfolded the newspaper, solemnly stated:

"My heart and mind are clear as a bright mirror, all my actions are for justice."
