MWC – Chapter 2 Darkness Descends

I AM DROPPING THIS NOVEL. IF ANYONE WANTS TO CONTINUE THEY CAN. IF POSSIBLE PLEASE SHARE THE LINK SO I CAN BINGE READ TOO.

Watching Lu Ming quickly flip through those documents, as well as the latest legal publications of the empire.

Xie Youquan shook his head helplessly.

If he were in his shoes, he wouldn’t waste a second and would rush to go with the beauty beside him.

But, speaking of it, this young master probably has enjoyed everything. If he could live another twenty years like him, then dying would be worth it.

Looking at Zhen Shi again, it’s such a pity. There’s actually such a seductive beauty that would make any man unable to control his desires.

I heard that these carefully selected beautiful girls from childhood, after more than ten years of training, can make a glance or smile so charming. Only in small places like this can such things be done, and it has to be in the deeply rooted traditional areas of the north. In the southern westernized areas, not only have they abolished slavery, but they have also started a women’s rights movement. This kind of behavior of training from childhood on how to please men, to put it plainly, isn’t it just training a little prostitute? It’s like poking a hornet’s nest, which would infuriate the feminists.

However, it’s a pity that, like Young Master Lu, she will soon meet her end on the gallows.

But she was still confused, not understanding anything, and not getting the progress of the case. In her mind, this young master of the Lu family is powerful and influential, so he’ll surely be fine in the end.

In pleasing men, she is undoubtedly a genius, but in other aspects, she lacks common sense. It’s not surprising though, because her education for over a decade hasn’t taught her any social norms. Moreover, many of the ideas instilled in her are contrary to common sense, aren’t they?

Lu Ming suddenly looked up at Zhen Shi. “I remember, Dragon Lord indeed saw us off at the gate, right?”

Zhen Shi nodded gently. “Yes, Master, this servant also saw it.” Her voice was extremely soft and, to the listener’s ears, it was simply an exquisite pleasure.

“Young Master Lu, this point cannot be argued. My master has always wanted to argue this point, even setting a trap for the driver who testified against Dragon Lord. But he refuses to admit that he saw Dragon Lord seeing you and Madam off. Moreover, my master has investigated with a private detective, and there’s nothing suspicious about him. Instead, your and Madam’s testimony shows that you’re lying, making you untrustworthy to the jury… If you still want me to focus on this point…”

Lu Ming waved his hand. “I understand. How could a corpse in the trunk have been sent to escort us?”

Xie Wenquan smiled bitterly and nodded.

Lu Ming looked at Zhen Shi again. “Did you notice anything different about the Dragon Lord who escorted us? That must have been someone else disguised as him…”

“I remember, before escorting us, he took a phone call. We waited for more than ten minutes before he returned.”

“He must have been dead by then, and the one who came back was an imposter.”

Zhen Shi looked confused and shook her head. “I, I don’t know…” Her voice was so soft and soothing, it was like an ethereal whisper that touched the listener’s soul.

Lu Ming rubbed his nose. She really is a beauty. Listening to her talk seems to relax me a bit, and my mood isn’t so bad.

Originally, he was very heavy-hearted as he looked at the trial records and testimonies of the witnesses and evidence.

This case can be said to be airtight.

Moreover, let’s talk about the people who framed himself and Zhen Shi.

To be able to silently kill the Dragon Lord, a martial arts expert, and put him in the trunk of a car in just a few minutes, all this while inside the Dragon Lord’s mansion.

Moreover, to be able to impersonate the Dragon Lord, at least during those few minutes, he didn’t see any flaws.

It must have been someone who looks very similar to the Dragon Lord and has undergone training.

What kind of means is this? At least, in this small county of Wuan, it’s hard to find anyone or any force capable of doing this.

It couldn’t be the enemies of the Shuanglong Society in Wuan City.

Otherwise, the Shuanglong Society would have been uprooted long ago, and how could they still be at large?

If he had to do this, it seems like Li Mingxuan has the most motive.

Li Mingxuan hated the Dragon Lord the most, but he doesn’t have the ability, and the Li family doesn’t have the strength.

In other words, the mastermind behind this is not at the level of Wuan County.

Moreover, although he plotted against the Dragon Lord, why does it feel like he’ll end up dead in the end?

Lu Ming seemed to think of something, a glimmer of light in the darkness, but he couldn’t grasp that light.

“Young Master, don’t force yourself. I prayed for you in front of the spirits of the old lady, the old master, and Madam. Young Master will surely be safe and sound…” Steward Lu Zhong wiped his tears with a quivering voice.

Seeing the young master analyzing the case randomly, Lu Zhong felt more and more uncomfortable. The young master has always been confused, but now, in order to survive, he’s acting as a detective to analyze the case. However, the young master’s mind will only make things worse.

Lu Ming’s head buzzed, and he finally knew what he had thought of.

His grandfather, parents, and two older brothers have all passed away in recent years.

Originally, it could only be said to be fate. For example, his grandfather fell ill, even though the day before, he was still full of vigor and vitality.

His eldest brother missed his grandfather and, while drunk, accidentally fell into the lake.

The second brother encountered bandits while on a purchasing trip and was attacked along with the escort team.

So, his parents urgently summoned him back from studying in the provincial capital to learn to manage the family business.

But when they came to pick him up, for some reason, the carriage lost control and veered onto the train tracks. The driver and his parents were all crushed to death by the oncoming train.

This happened almost a year ago.

Now, is it his turn?

Moreover, Dragon Lord has been investigating the bandits who killed his second brother.

A few days before his death, he even told himself that there were some clues.

So, does Dragon Lord have to die? And, incidentally, root out the problem?

Lu Ming shook himself.

If his conjecture is true, then it’s terrifying.

That means, if he wants to survive, not only does he have to win this lawsuit, but he also has to guard against that darkness striking again.

Outside the lounge, someone knocked on the door, and the impatient voice of the bailiff said, “Get ready, it’s about to start.”
