Chapter 229 Happy Events Turned into Bad News

In Master Li’s room, Little Brother Li looked at the cousins with bad intentions.

“I can’t do it to grandma, or to my parents. My cousins have a foreign surname. Can I do it first to them?”

Bai Jing didn’t know that he had been targeted by his cousin and he felt injustice for him.

“What can I say to my uncle? Things have passed so many years and he still can’t let go! What’s more, that matter has nothing to do with my cousin. Why does he always struggle with my cousin? Isn’t my cousin his own flesh and blood?” He said.

Shan Tingyan yelled, “Listen to me, cousin, you should say less. Uncle is your elder. You can’t criticize him behind his back.”

“I didn’t criticize him. He is not good to my cousin. Can’t I complain about it?”

Li Mu suddenly came to the spirit. Bai Jing had something in his words. But there was a reason why his father was not good to him. So he must find it out clearly and maybe he could find countermeasures from it.

Before Shan Tingyan reprimanded Bai Jing again, Li Mu rushed to say, “Sister, what my brother said is true. That incident has passed for so many years and has nothing to do with me. But my father has been angry with me. He always either fight or scold me. If it hadn’t been for my grandma and mother’s protection, I would have died.”

At this point, he pretended to be sad and squeezed out two drops of tears.

Shan Tingyan sighed and said nothing.

Bai Jing didn’t shut up. He had the best relationship with Li Mu, and he always harbored grudges for the injustice his cousin received. It was just that Li Mu was filial and unwilling to mention the past, which made him rarely mention it in front of his cousin. Today, he got a response from his cousin, and of course, he should tell the truth quickly.

It was easy for Little Brother Li, who was engaged in the sales department before, to seduce other people into telling the truth. He knew the whole process with a few words.

It turned out that when Li Mu was young, Master Li once had a concubine and gave birth to a son, who was two years younger than Li Mu.

Many people had the problem of preferring others. So did Master Li. Relatively speaking, he preferred his concubine and loved her child more.

Li Mu’s mom naturally didn’t like this. She always complained about it in the family.

Different from adults, Li Mu liked this little brother very much and his brother also liked to play with him. Adults quarreled with each other but the two brothers were very harmonious.

As the saying went, “There are unexpected events and people have their fortunes.”

One day, when the two brothers were playing in the garden, an accident happened. The younger brother accidentally fell into a well. When Li Mu called adults to rescue him, the child had been drowned to death.

This was originally an accident but the concubine thought that his son was pushed down by Li Mu. So she hated him and was sad and soon died of depression.

Master Li hated his eldest son and thought that his eldest son killed the mother and her son. Since then, he had beaten and scolded Li Mu and always had a dirty look to him.

Li Mu’s words were right. If it hadn’t been for his grandma and mother’s protection, his dad would have put righteousness above family loyalty and buried him with that pair of mother and son.

Little Brother Li already had an idea. As the old saying went, “If a government is not right, its citizen will vote for foreign countries; If a father is not kind, the son will run to another family!” His father was unkind and unjust. If he abandoned him, he could get away.

Of course, the word “abandon” was not to run away from home but to kill himself. “You have a dirty look to me and think that I killed my brother and second mother. So I will give my life back to you to satisfy your wish.” thought Li Mu.

Of course, Li Mu in reality was not so extreme and he would never commit suicide because of this kind of thing. This was to crack the mechanic system.

It could be imagined that on the birthday of the old lady, if the father forced his son to death with his own hands, it was so obvious that a proper happy event would turn into a funeral. There was nothing wrong with it!

However, there was a certain risk in doing so, which may really kill himself. He was worried about making it come true and letting himself over.

After weighing the pros and cons repeatedly, he thought he could try it once. After all, what he wanted to kill was not himself, but a dreamland. His body was still fine and would not be damaged.

He wanted to gamble, thinking that the correct way to crack this realm was to kill himself for justice. After all, it was difficult to be accepted by the secular world to kill his own family. Members of the Shen Family may not allow such people to pass the mechanic system.

After making up his mind, Li Mu said to Shan Tingyan, “Sister, brother, please entertain the guests for me. I feel a little uncomfortable and want to rest for a while.”

Shan Tingyan quickly pulled up Bai Jing and said to him, “There you go. We will come to see you later!”

“Well, I’ll rest for a while and you’ll call me later. We’ll go and drink in the garden together!”

Two people left the room and Shan Tingyan closed the door considerately.

Li Mu immediately launched an action. As time was short, he wanted to die as soon as possible. There was the only chance. Once he was discovered, he could never do it again.

He tore off half of the sheets, twisted them into a rope and then put them on the beams and tied a fast knot. He then hung himself up without hesitation.

That night, there was chaos in the Li’s Mansion and the news that the young master was forced to die by the master spread like wildfire.

After hearing the news, the old lady shouted and then died. Li Mu’s mother didn’t cry or make trouble and threw herself into the well when people were unprepared. After arranging the aftermath of her loved ones, Master Li hung himself in his son’s room.

After the stone gate opened wide, Little Brother Li ran out like a rabbit, touching his neck while running and couldn’t help laughing.

As soon as he ran out of the square, Madam Lin immediately flew into his arms and said excitedly, “This is the shortest time. It is just ten minutes at most. What happy things have you encountered? Why are you so happy!”

This time he had nothing to hide. Li Mu told the experience with great joy and finally said triumphantly, “How is it? Am I smart?”

Unexpectedly, Madam Lin suddenly burst into tears, grabbed and fought him. And Little Brother Li nearly lost consciousness.

Mrs. Hong cursed at the side, “He deserves it. Lin Wan, beat him hard. How can he be such an irresponsible man? You just want to kill yourself for justice. Have you ever thought about your wife and children, your relatives and friends?”

Li Mu was beaten and screamed loudly, defending, “Lin Wan, I did not act on impulse. Don’t you forget that Zixing once killed me? Wasn’t I fine at that time?”

Lin Wan stopped, secretly pondering her husband’s words and felt as if it was true.

Li Mu quickly hugged her and explained to them, “The Evil Demon was killed at that level but it was also my dream. I had an idea at that time. Maybe under some circumstances, I died in a dream and I didn’t really die. I killed a dream, not myself.”

“Then you shouldn’t do it either. What if you make a wrong judgment?”

“So, I have never dared to try. But in this realm I must do this. Think about it. There are two choices for me, either kill my relatives or commit suicide. If you are the Shen Family members, who will you let pass?”

Lin Kun said with hatred, “The Shen Family is really despicable. They are ruthless with a vicious mind!”

Shen Zixing and her sister gave him a dirty look and coughed hard.

Madam Lin was not angry and felt very scared. Her husband was really crazy. He was desperate. What should she do in case of any unexpected emergencies?

Everyone else tacitly stayed away from them. Little Brother Li tried his best, apologized and comforted, and finally swore never to die again, which calmed his wife.

However, Lin Wan also put forward a request that she had to accompany him to the last realm. Li Mu couldn’t persuade her. Finally, Mrs. Hong relieved him.

“Lin Wan, you were still complaining about Li Mu’s bravado just now. How can you make the same mistake immediately? Can you go there with your child? In case of any problems, who can afford this responsibility?”

“Mrs. Hong, I...”

“Don’t worry. I know what you are worried about. If you trust me, let me accompany Li Mu. I promise to help you keep an eye on him so that he can’t do anything at will.”

After hearing what Mrs. Hong said, Lin Wan agreed. For her, the two people she could trust most in the world, was her husband and Mrs. Hong. If Mrs. Hong agreed to help her, she could rest assured.

Little Brother Li had a bitter face all the way. He didn’t want to take anyone in. He was not afraid of trouble, but afraid of meeting Bai Jing and Shan Tingyan. The last realm was surprise. Nobody knew if there would be any surprises.

Even if he went in alone, no matter what kind of surprise he encountered, it was impossible to scare him. However, it was different for Mrs. Hong and maybe surprise would become sadness.

However, he had lost the right to speak. Whatever other people said, he only had to listen and obey. He couldn’t put forward any objection.

Little Brother Li regretted it very much now. If he had known this, he might as well make up a story just now.

He made up a total of four stories and finally told the truth once, which immediately caused trouble. This was really ironic.

Lin Wan had been observing his face. Seeing that he was not very willing, she couldn’t help but ask, “Why? Mrs. Hong is going with you. Aren’t you happy?”

Li Mu waved his hand and said sincerely, “No. I have always wished that. You can decide this matter and I will obey it unconditionally!”

He did not dare to entangle with this problem. “If she wants to go, I can accept her. Since I can’t stop it, I might as well accept it. The more I refuse, the easier it is to be suspected. It is better to let nature take its course.”

Lin Wan was satisfied with his attitude and said to him, “There is only the last realm left. You must be more careful and don’t be careless!”

At this moment, there was a rumbling sound in the square and the stone statue representing happiness had been restored. The stone gate was opened.

Li Mu told Lin Wan, “Honey, there are two wounded people among you and it is inconvenient for them to move. After the stone gate is closed, you should immediately evacuate from the stolen hole and should not stay here.”

“No, I will go with you!”

“You are really confused. After we pass the realms, the stone statue will recover quickly. That time is not enough for us to leave smoothly. Do you want me to experience the Seven Emotions again?”

Mrs. Hong also advised, “Lin Wan, Li Mu is right. That time is not enough at all. What’s more, we still have two wounded people. Now is not the time to be impulsive. Listen to Li Mu. After we go in, you will evacuate immediately!”

Lin Wan hesitated for a moment, nodded and said, “OK, then I will wait for you in the stolen hole!”

Li Mu shook his head helplessly and said to her, “OK, but you must climb far away and leave the Valley as far as possible. And we’ll leave together after we two come out.”
