Chapter 948 — Swatted to Death by a Dog — Bang!
The Blossom Guardian · Page 2 of 2
"Third Uncle!" Yu Haitian had never imagined that Wei Zhao would strike the moment he spoke, leaving not the slightest room, and in the end would have a dog beat Yu Bide to death! Terror and horror instantly flooded his face!
Yu Haitian was no martial artist and had no skills to speak of. At this moment he was so frightened that he dared not utter a single word of defiance to Wei Zhao. He ran quickly out of the villa, came to Yu Bide's side, and reached out to feel for his breath.
Gone! Yu Bide had actually died!
Yu Haitian was frightened beyond all measure. Wei Zhao dared even to kill Yu Bide, to say nothing of the likes of him, Yu Haitian!
Seeing Wei Zhao follow him out of the villa, Yu Haitian was instantly overcome with alarm. "You... what are you going to do... I'm only a follower, I came along with Third Uncle, it was Third Uncle who was in charge of everything..."
"I know you're nothing but a small fry." Wei Zhao said flatly. "Go back and tell Yu Shuixing that he owes me the shares of two businesses, and two concubines! What Wei Zhao says always holds. Tell him to get ready!"
"But... you've already killed Third Uncle..." Yu Haitian had never expected that after killing Yu Bide, Wei Zhao would go on pressing such horrifying terms.
"He was killed by a dog, not by me." Wei Zhao said flatly. "Besides, what I said was that I would kill your whole family, not just him!"
"Fine. I'll pass on every word!" Yu Haitian nodded, something like grief in his face. A moment ago they had still been the stronger party; in the blink of an eye he had to hoist Third Uncle's corpse on his back and flee in disgrace!
"Oh, then what are you still standing there for? You can scram. Don't hold me up, I have a score to settle with the Xiao family!" Wei Zhao waved his hand impatiently.
Yu Haitian gritted his teeth, heaved Third Uncle's corpse onto his back, ducked quickly into a commercial van parked before the villa, started the engine, and drove out of the villa grounds...
As he drove, Yu Haitian, choking on grief and fury, dialed the Yu family in Yanjing.
Through Yu Feng he got hold of Yu Shuixing, and at once poured out his tears and his tale. "Second Uncle, it's terrible, Third Uncle has been beaten to death!"
"What did you say? Who's been beaten to death?" Yu Shuixing was stunned, not quite taking in Yu Haitian's words.
"Third Uncle! Third Uncle has been beaten to death!" Yu Haitian repeated himself.
"Bide? He's dead? How did he die? Who killed him?" Once Yu Shuixing understood, he was thrown into a violent panic, and even the pitch of his voice changed.
"Yes, Third Uncle is dead... he was... he was beaten to death by a dog..." By the time Yu Haitian got the words out, even he found it rather bizarre...
"Huh?" Yu Shuixing thought he had misheard, and could not help saying, "What did you say? Who killed him?"
"A dog..." Yu Haitian said with a bitter smile.
"A dog? You're telling me Bide was beaten to death by a dog? Are you out of your mind? Haitian, you're not joking with me, are you? It isn't April Fools' Day." Yu Shuixing asked, hardly able to believe it. After all, the matter was far too absurd. How could his third brother, a first-rate inner-school expert of the early Mystic Rank, possibly be beaten to death by a dog?
"Second Uncle, I'm not mistaken. Third Uncle really was beaten to death by a dog!" The moment Yu Haitian thought back on the scene, cold sweat broke out all over him.
"You mean the animal kind of dog? The kind that goes woof woof?" Yu Shuixing was losing his composure as well, and small wonder. The matter was entirely beyond anything he could imagine. In all his understanding of the world, how could a man possibly be killed by a dog?
