Rebirth of the Superpower Queen

Chapter 185 Overnight interrogation

"You don't admit it, do you?"

Ming Shunde spoke again, but with so many people around, it seemed as if not even one person was breathing. It was so quiet that it was frightening.

"Well, since you don't admit it, Zhiling, you are the victim in this matter, so it will be up to you to investigate and interrogate, no matter what method you use. Also, once you find out who did it, you don't have to report to me. No matter who it is, you can deal with it as you please." After Ming Shunde finished speaking, he stood up.

Wang Yumei also stood up and supported Ming Shunde as they left the conference room. He was not in good spirits and didn't want to get involved, so she let the young people deal with it on their own.

"Aren't you afraid that someone might really get killed?" On the way back to the room, Wang Yumei looked worried, and finally expressed her concerns.

"Why are you so nervous? So what if someone died? Besides, if Zhiling hadn't been lucky, someone would have died in this house a long time ago, right?" Ming Shunde sighed calmly. He didn't realize how protective he was.

He didn't know when it started, but the more he looked at that girl Meng Zhiling, the happier he became and the more he admired her. He felt that no matter how she did things, she had her reasons. So this time, he still made the human choice to stand on Meng Zhiling's side.

Although the others were his biological relatives or his own children, he always felt that only in front of Meng Zhiling did he not feel lonely and isolated. He was not a high-ranking "ruler", but an ordinary person. When she talked back to him, he truly felt that he was just an ordinary stubborn grandfather.

Or rather, he is an old naughty boy.

"I'm not nervous, I'm just worried. After all, Zhiling is still young. What if I fail to control her impulsive personality and something bigger happens, it will be difficult to resolve." Wang Yumei concealed her nervousness very well and found a plausible reason.

"Haha, it seems you don't know her well enough. She is indeed young, but with her intelligence and strategy, it is estimated that only your children combined can beat her alone." Ming Shunde had an inexplicable sense of pride. It was obvious that Meng Zhiling was against him in every way, and until now she had not called him grandpa. In the end, he could only use the concept of inter-generational affection to understand his feelings for Meng Zhiling. Otherwise, it was really hard to understand.

"I really didn't realize she was as good as you said." Wang Yumei was also unconvinced. Who would want to praise others and belittle themselves? She raised an eyebrow, unhappily removed her hand from Ming Shunde's arm, and strode forward.

Ming Shunde shook his head and sighed. After decades, she was still the same, even more stubborn than himself, and even more pessimistic about problems than himself.

"You will find out slowly. Maybe you will be like me. The more you find out, the more scared you will be." After a long time, so long that Wang Yumei thought the topic had passed, Ming Shunde said casually again.

Wang Yumei didn't care and still ignored him, and the topic was over.

In fact, only I know that my heart has already drifted to the conference room, and I don’t know what the situation is there.

Alas, she could only pray for the "murderer". No matter who the murderer was, she was powerless to do anything about it. The old man had spoken, and she couldn't protect him either.

I hope it’s not that impulsive second sister. She has never been very reliable. If it is really her, I don’t know how to save her.

"What happened?" Ming Yi was late because he no longer lived in the Ming family after Ming Zhu left, but moved back to his own residence. However, when he learned that Meng Zhiling was in danger, he rushed here as soon as possible and looked at Meng Zhiling worriedly. Seeing her sitting in the chair unharmed, his heart finally settled down again.

"Haha, you are well-informed. You get here so quickly." Meng Zhiling raised her eyebrows and said to Ming Yi with a hint of ridicule.

"Are you okay?" Ming Yi didn't take it seriously. Ever since Mingzhu left, Meng Zhiling's attitude towards him had returned to what it was before. He had long been accustomed to it, so he still walked to Meng Zhiling worriedly and asked with concern.

"Thanks to the blessings of your Ming family ancestors, I'm fine. It's just that I've disappointed some people." Although Meng Zhiling knew that this matter had nothing to do with Ming Yi, but who gave him the surname Ming? Deep down, she didn't like people with the surname Ming.

"You still say you're fine? Did you know that you're poisoned?" The sharp-eyed Ming Yi grabbed Meng Zhiling's waving hand, took a closer look, and his heart sank.

Meng Zhiling smiled sweetly, "It's no big deal. Even if I die, I won't die until I find the person who wants to harm me. Don't worry. Besides, this little bit of poison is nothing to me."

Ming Yi and everyone present looked at her in amazement. They all thought that this person must be crazy. She didn't take life seriously at all and treated it like a child's joke.

"Is everything really okay?" Ming Yi confirmed again, pulling her hand and looking up and down, left and right. It turned out to be a miracle. Even after being bitten by such a poisonous snake, the poison did not spread, and it was even slowly dissipating. Sure enough, Meng Zhiling was Meng Zhiling.

"There is a problem. That is, I must catch the person who wants to harm me and his accomplices today." Meng Zhiling casually shook off his hand, then looked around and said coldly.

Her coldness is different from Ming Shunde's seriousness. She is cold to the bone. One look from her can make people feel as if their hearts have been pierced by her. Her eyes can make people feel as if they are struggling on the brink of death. The depression and oppression that death brings to people is simply unbearable.

"It seems that we haven't found it yet. Do you need my help?" Ming Yi smiled slightly, and the smile on the corner of his mouth was as excited as a cheetah seeing its prey.

Everyone present had lost hope. The old man had finally left, but the third master came again. The third master was even more decisive than the old man, and he protected Meng Zhiling even more than the old man. Everyone was worried about themselves and the murderer.

It is obvious that Ming Yi's attitude is very clear, that is, to stand on Meng Zhiling's side, so their life tonight will definitely not be easy.

"Haha, what happened? Why are so many people gathered here? Hey? Isn't this Miss Meng Zhiling? Why are you still standing here? Shouldn't you be dead?" At this moment, a voice came from the corner. It was obvious that the owner of the voice had been drinking. The drunken tone made everyone turn their heads to look.

"Haha, you're not dead yet, how dare I die? After all, you're so much older than me." Meng Zhiling took a step forward and came to Ming Shunqi, lifting his collar with one hand. The drunk Ming Shunqi, who was half lying on the ground, was lifted up by the delicate Meng Zhiling like a chicken, with his feet completely off the ground.

After this ordeal, Ming Shunqi seemed to have finally sobered up. He met Meng Zhiling's bone-chilling eyes in panic and shuddered unconsciously.

"What are you doing? Little girl, I'm telling you, I'm your grandfather, so don't do anything rash." Ming Shunqi shouted loudly with a guilty conscience, but he didn't even have the courage to struggle.

"Grandpa, Meng Zhiling, what's the point of bullying an old man? If you have anything to say, come to me and let my grandpa go." At this time, Ming Jian also rushed forward. His anxious look almost moved Meng Zhiling.

"Tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, it's your grandfather now? And who is Ming Shunde? Don't be nervous, young man, I just want to ask your grandfather about the situation." Meng Zhiling kicked Ming Jian away and then asked Ming Shunqi, "What did you mean by saying I'm still standing here? Shouldn't I be dead?"

"What do you mean? Did I say that just now? Even if I did, it was just drunken talk. Don't take it seriously. Yes, don't take it seriously! Cough cough..." Ming Shunqi didn't dare to look into Meng Zhiling's eyes at all. Because her collar was holding him, he felt suffocated. So after answering Meng Zhiling's question with difficulty, he burst into dry coughs.

However, this time, the others relaxed. After all, at this time, anyone who was not stupid could guess what Ming Shunqi meant. It was basically certain that he did it, so he would not implicate innocent people like them.

"Really? People say that people speak the truth when they are drunk, Ming Yi, don't you think so?" In the Ming family, Meng Zhiling called everyone by their names, not caring about seniority. Anyway, her surname was not Ming.

Ming Yi was called out, and originally didn't want to get involved too much, but now he had no choice but to step forward and walk in front of Ming Shunqi, "Uncle, just tell me what you know, tell me everything you've done. Maybe Zhiling will show mercy and let you go!"

After hearing the first half of Ming Yi's sentence, the people present thought that he would do the same as Ming Shunde, that is, spare his life. But when they heard that he would give him a quick death, everyone was stunned. They stood there in a daze and didn't even have the mood to watch the fun.

"Haha, Ming Yi, you think your uncle is old and suffering from Alzheimer's disease, right? Anyway, he will die if he tells you, and he will die if he doesn't tell you, so why should I say more? Just kill me. I was the one who released the snake, and I was the one who wanted to kill you. Are you satisfied now?" Ming Shunqi also looked unruly and said with a fearless attitude.

He glanced in the direction of Ming Jian out of the corner of his eye, made a tragic expression, and finally closed his eyes, waiting for death to come.

But Meng Zhiling raised the corners of her mouth. She had never thought of letting him go so easily. Killing him now would be equivalent to letting him go. How could she be so kind?

"Haha, you want to die? You haven't even asked me for my consent?" After saying that, he threw Ming Shunqi to the ground with a bang and kicked Ming Shunqi in the ankle. Only a pig-slaughtering scream was heard, and then the whole scene became quiet again.

It was quieter than ever, so quiet that it was scary. Ming Shunqi opened his mouth but couldn't scream out in pain. Cold sweat began to appear on everyone's forehead, and they felt a cool breeze blowing across their backs.
