Chapter 868: She Sold Him Out
"Miss Lin, do you have any ideas?" Captain Xing asked.
"My younger brother hasn’t participated in the ancestral rites yet. The Gong family’s children must partake in the ancestral rites a hundred days after birth. It was delayed because the child was born prematurely, but the banquet has recently been held, so it’s time to schedule it. This is a big deal for the Gong Family. Since Gong Yao has been spreading the word that the old master’s health is excellent, he cannot evade this matter. Otherwise, it would raise suspicions."
Lin Zhiyi said this as she looked at Gong Chen.
Gong Chen nodded approvingly.
"I can have someone spread the word that the old master’s health is declining. Gong Yao will definitely have the old master personally host the ancestral rites to dispel the rumors."
Captain Xing nodded, then shook his head.
He expressed his confusion, "Isn’t the reason Gong Yao gives the old master this kind of medicine to have the old master die of a heart condition? Why prove he’s in good health? If you claim he’s unwell now, even if he dies, no one would suspect."
Gong Chen explained, "Gong Yao still needs him to win over others, so until his plan is completed, he won’t let anything happen to the old master. The ancestral rites are the best opportunity for the old master to prove his good health. Besides, the old master’s death from a heart condition still needs a triggering reason."
As for what the reason is, Captain Xing didn’t need to ask to know.
He glanced at Gong Chen.
What could be more gratifying for Gong Yao than having the old master die at Gong Chen’s hand?
"Then let’s do it this way. We will deploy our plans here as quickly as possible."
