Liu Mei looked at Chen Jie triumphantly, "So what if you have the recording? You still can't do anything to us!"
"And I'm going to fight for Zhang Cheng's inheritance!"
"Zhang Cheng was truly blind, to want to give half of his hard-earned fortune to his own sister."
"Heh, it's good that he's dead! He deserved to die!"
The people in the conference room looked at Liu Mei and shook their heads.
It was almost certain now that Liu Mei was the murderer.
However, without concrete evidence, no one could do anything.
Everyone present was intelligent and had guessed why Liu Mei wanted Zhang Cheng dead. In the end, it was all about the money.
He had given half of his fortune to Zhang Xinyan, and Liu Mei, as Zhang Cheng's wife, couldn't stand it.
"You... I'll fight you to the death!" Zhang's mother, in her anger, tried to attack Liu Mei.
But Chen Jie waved his hand, stopping her.
"Auntie, how can porcelain be compared to earthenware? If you do this, you'll make the earthenware think it's also porcelain," Chen Jie said.
Liu Mei and Yang Lihuan were both furious at this.
They had previously used the same analogy to describe Zhang Xinyan's family.
Now, it was being used to describe them in return.
"Chen Jie, I understand what you mean. We from a prominent family shouldn't associate with these parasites. But he was my own son! He's my only son, and I must avenge him!" Zhang's mother said with red eyes.
Chen Jie smiled, "Revenge can also be civilized."
Chen Jie smiled, but Liu Mei's heart leaped into her throat again.
When Chen Jie smiled, she felt that her life hung in the balance.
"What do you want?" Liu Mei looked at Chen Jie, wary.
Chen Jie ignored her and looked at Liu Feilong, "Liu Feilong, do you really think your sister is doing this for your own good?"
Liu Feilong froze and looked at Chen Jie in confusion.
Chen Jie said, "You are too naive. No matter what, you will die today!"
"Ah? Chen Jie, you can't do this!" Liu Feilong, thinking Chen Jie was going to kill him, said urgently.
"No, I didn't say I'm going to kill you, but your sister will!" Chen Jie said.
"My sister?"
"Kid, don't spout nonsense! Feilong is Liu Mei's brother. How could she possibly want him dead?" Yang Lihuan angrily said, "Feilong, stop being naive. He's trying to sow discord between you!"
Liu Feilong looked completely bewildered. Everyone was calling him naive, so was he really that naive?
"What's going on?" Liu Feilong asked Chen Jie.
"Look at your palm, is it black?" Chen Jie said.
Liu Feilong quickly raised his hand and saw that his palm was pitch black.
He immediately exclaimed in horror, "What's happening? Why is my hand turning black?"
"That's because you've been poisoned by your sister!" Chen Jie said indifferently. "When I cured Old Master Zhang before, I explicitly told you that all the toxins in his body were transferred to that jade. You didn't take it to heart and even licked it a few times."
Liu Feilong stared in shock, a wave of regret washing over him.
He could already feel something was wrong with his body; his movements were becoming sluggish, and even his thoughts were dulled.
This meant Chen Jie wasn't lying. He had indeed been poisoned.
If he hadn't snatched the jade when Chen Jie was treating Zhang Ziqiang, and had instead let Chen Jie handle it, perhaps he wouldn't have been poisoned.
Now, it was too late.
"As for why I say it's your sister's poison, you can ask her yourself," Chen Jie said.
Liu Feilong looked crestfallen, "Will you detoxify me?"
"Of course not!" Chen Jie said calmly.
Liu Feilong turned to Liu Mei, "Sister, is this really your poison?"
"Feilong, let me explain..." Liu Mei panicked, wanting to say something.
"Just tell me, is this your poison?" Liu Feilong asked.
Liu Mei said awkwardly, "Feilong, the poison on you might have indeed been transmitted from that jade pendant! You can't blame me!"
Chen Jie reminded him, "Liu Feilong, if you don't find an antidote today, you will remain in a coma until you die."
Liu Feilong shivered and said to Liu Mei, "Sister, give me the antidote quickly."
"Feilong, I don't have an antidote. I really don't. There is no antidote for this kind of poison!" Liu Mei said with a crying tone.
"I don't care! If it's your poison, why don't you have an antidote? Sister, I don't want to die, save me!" Liu Feilong pleaded.
Liu Mei said, "Feilong, I'm not lying to you!"
Liu Feilong's eyes flashed with anger. He pointed at Liu Mei, "You knew I was going to die all along, didn't you?"
"You lied to me! You said we would enjoy wealth and status together! You even said half of brother-in-law's fortune would be ours! So you've been lying to me all along!"
Liu Mei said frantically, "Feilong, you saw it too. Even Hai Chunsheng couldn't do anything about Zhang Ziqiang's poison! I didn't want you to despair, so I didn't tell you the truth!"
"But I had already made plans. After you fell into a coma, I would take care of you and find someone to cure you! But before I was sure, your sister didn't want you to bear that pressure!"
"You lied to me! You used me to kill brother-in-law and Zhang Ziqiang together! You never intended to share the wealth and status with me! You were only thinking of yourself!"
"Son, don't talk nonsense! What poison or not, it must be Chen Jie trying to trick you!" Yang Lihuan immediately stopped him, seeing that Liu Feilong was revealing sensitive information.
"Get lost! Don't you know I'm dying!" Liu Feilong roared in despair.
He looked at Liu Mei with hatred, then said to Chen Jie, "Chen Jie, I'll expose my sister! My sister, out of dissatisfaction that brother-in-law was giving his fortune to Zhang Xinyan, took their lives! The recording you have is our conversation!"
Chen Jie asked, "Who did you two kill?"
"Zhang Cheng and Zhang Ziqiang!"
"Zhang Cheng and Zhang Ziqiang, how did you dispose of them?" Chen Jie asked again.
"I stabbed Zhang Cheng in the back! My sister poisoned the old man's chicken soup! Afterwards, to destroy the evidence, we contacted the crematorium and cremated them both!"
Zhang's mother and Zhang Bao hugged each other and wept uncontrollably.
Liu Mei's face turned pale, and she collapsed onto the ground.
She clutched Zhang Xinyan's feet and said, "Xinyan, sister-in-law didn't mean it. Sister-in-law was blinded by greed and did something I regret. Xinyan, please don't hold it against me, okay?"
*Slap!*
Zhang Xinyan slapped her across the face and said angrily, "Now you know to beg for mercy? Weren't you just denying everything and feeling so smug?"
He Wenwu walked up to Liu Mei and said, "Miss Liu, please come with us to accept an investigation."
