Chapter 89: It seems I have become the villain?
Inside the bedroom, besides Old Master Du, whose body was covered in suppurating sores until he looked neither human nor ghost, there were also Du Yunsheng, the husband of Liu Hanmei, and their youngest daughter, Du Ruyue.
After seeing Chu Fei, each of them wore a different expression.
Du Tianhan greeted Chu Fei with great warmth.
Du Yunsheng, meanwhile, studied him carefully.
As for the youngest, Du Ruyue, she was like Du Zitong in that she doubted Chu Fei’s medical skill.
"So this is the miracle doctor who cured Grandfather Cheng?" Du Ruyue said with open disdain. "He does look the part, but who knows whether he actually has any real ability!"
Du Zitong immediately chimed in, "What miracle doctor? He’s just a swindler. I think he came to the Du family just to trick us out of our Dew Grass!"
Under ordinary circumstances, Chu Fei would have snapped back at such provocation.
But ever since entering the villa, he had kept a blank face and chosen silence.
Even now, faced with their taunts, he treated them as nothing more than the wind in his ears.
That struck Tan Yingyao as odd.
He knew Chu Fei’s temperament well.
If these two dared speak to him like that, even if he did not teach them a lesson with his hands, he would at least crush them with words until they questioned the meaning of life!
"Both of you, shut up!" Du Tianhan barked at the younger generation, then turned back to Chu Fei with a smile uglier than crying. "Miracle Doctor Chu, they do not know manners. I apologize on their behalf. Please do not take offense."
Du Tianhan’s attitude was unexpectedly good.
Clearly, he trusted Chu Fei’s medical skill.
He was simply afraid that his granddaughter and grandson might offend him and make him refuse to treat him!
"Grandfather, you’re the head of the Du family. Why should you apologize to some unknown bumpkin?" Du Zitong said disdainfully. "Whether he has any real skill aside, being allowed to treat you is his honor!"
"Exactly. As long as he cures you, he can soar to success. Our Du family would be his great benefactor. There’s no need for us to humble ourselves before him," Du Ruyue sneered as well.
"Spare the rod, spoil the child. You two itching again?" Du Yunsheng said sternly. "Grandfather told you to shut up. Didn’t you hear him?"
After that roar from Du Yunsheng, the two juniors no longer dared to act up. They could only curse under their breath.
It’s over, it’s over. This time Young Master Chu is definitely going to be angry.
Just as Tan Yingyao thought this, he heard Liu Hanmei pleading with Chu Fei.
"Mr. Chu, I’m truly sorry. The children are ignorant. Please do not take it to heart."
Chu Fei glanced at the charming young matron and replied, "It’s fine. Let’s get to the diagnosis."
With that, Chu Fei walked over to Du Tianhan.
While examining his condition, he also asked how he had fallen ill.
This surprised Tan Yingyao greatly.
But when he thought about it carefully, it seemed reasonable enough.
In front of a beauty, young men naturally wanted to keep up appearances. It seemed this Young Master Chu was rather easy to handle!
"It all began half a year ago," Du Tianhan said helplessly to Chu Fei. "Half a year ago, when I went to pay respects to my ancestors, I passed an isolated grave and saw a little girl standing in front of it. I wanted to go up and check on her, but when she turned around, she nearly scared me to death."
"That girl was covered in suppurating sores, just like I am now. Ever since then, every night I have had nightmares, dreaming that girl was feeding me blood, and my body began to develop the same sores as hers..."
Listening to Du Tianhan’s story, Tan Yingyao wondered if the old man had fallen under some curse.
However, after the story was finished, Chu Fei said with obvious contempt, "You’re very good at making things up. Did you prepare your own eulogy for future memorial services as well?"
At those words, Du Tianhan grew agitated. "Everything I said is true. Why would I need to lie to you!"
"There are no ghosts in this world," Chu Fei said with a cold laugh. "Even if there were, none would be as frightening as people."
Seeing Chu Fei dare question his grandfather, Du Zitong immediately stepped forward and pointed at Chu Fei’s chest.
"Country bumpkin, what do you mean? If my grandfather says there’s a ghost, then there’s a ghost. What right do you have to doubt him?"
"Is that so?" Chu Fei looked up at Du Zitong.
There was only a dull bang, and the Du family’s young master, who had been so arrogant a moment ago, turned into a burst of blood mist.
Blood splashed across every face of the Du family members, while Chu Fei remained spotless.
Everything happened too quickly for anyone to react.
Only when they heard Chu Fei’s demonic whisper did they understand what had happened.
"I don’t believe it. So can you turn into a ghost and prove it to me?"
At that moment, the Du family finally realized the truth.
The first to break was Du Yunsheng.
He roared at Chu Fei, "You bastard, why did you kill my son!"
Chu Fei gave no reply.
He simply raised his right hand and clenched it in the air.
An invisible force snapped Du Yunsheng’s neck on the spot, leaving him dead with eyes wide open!
Looking at her father collapsed beside her, Du Ruyue fell to the floor in terror, her face white as paper.
Gone was her former haughty arrogance.
Liu Hanmei let out a scream, her face full of panic.
Chu Fei paid her no mind.
Instead, he looked at the already stunned Du Tianhan and said, "Still not ready to tell the truth?"
Before Du Tianhan could answer, Tan Yingyao could no longer hold back and shouted, "Young Master Chu, didn’t we agree not to use violence to force the Du family!"
Chu Fei was powerful.
So Tan Yingyao feared him and was willing to bow his head before him.
But such indiscriminate brutality was something he simply could not accept.
"Why are you doing this!" Du Tianhan raged, his already twisted face becoming even more ferocious, like a beast. "Our Du family never offended you. What gives you the right to treat human life so lightly!"
"Because I’m handsome," Chu Fei said.
He seized Liu Hanmei from behind.
Under her frightened eyes, Chu Fei drove a hand knife straight through her heart, then hurled her body at Du Ruyue’s feet.
"Grandfather, what do we do? They’re all dead!" Du Ruyue cried, tears streaming down her face. "Am I going to die too?"
"With Grandfather here, I will protect you no matter what!" Du Tianhan roared upward and unleashed his full strength in a palm strike at Chu Fei.
But it was merely overestimating himself.
Chu Fei kicked him away with effortless ease, and he slammed into the wall.
Seeing her grandfather coughing blood, Du Ruyue was overwhelmed by a despair she had never known before. She wanted to run to him, but Chu Fei stepped on her back.
"Don’t panic. The problem is serious. Panicking won’t help."
Chu Fei’s voice carried no emotion at all.
Seeing his granddaughter in Chu Fei’s grasp, Du Tianhan immediately begged for mercy. "Spare my granddaughter. I will hand over the Dew Grass with both hands, and today’s matter can be wiped clean. I’m begging you. She’s still so young!"
Tan Yingyao could no longer endure it.
Chu Fei’s behavior had completely crossed his bottom line.
He shouted at Chu Fei, "Chu Fei, you’ve achieved your goal. Let that girl go. She only said a few things about you. Do you really need to take revenge like this? Are you even human!"
"So I’ve become the villain, have I?" Chu Fei looked down at the trembling Du Ruyue beneath his foot and said indifferently, "In your next life, remember to be a good person."
The instant the words left his mouth, Chu Fei crushed Du Ruyue’s head before Tan Yingyao’s very eyes.
