Chapter 777: You Guys Don’t Know What Happened Then

He Fei knew that his mother was unable to see their situation clearly. It was a waste of time to talk to her and so, he kept his mouth shut.

When they arrived at the Ouyang Family, everyone’s relationship seemed to have really reached the stage where they were already one big family. While greeting each other, the middle-aged members of the families were all laughing and waiting to see who would be marrying who.

Several of the family heads headed to the Ouyang Family’s study room after having one or two drinks.

He Fei stood far away from the crowd with a glass in his hand as he looked at the scene coldly.

The Second House of the He Family was inferior to that of the First House and so, he was definitely not the first choice of the Ouyang Family’s young ladies. This made him breathe a sigh of relief.

He Fei always thought that the four families had united together because Second Brother Lu’s recent momentum was very fierce, coupled with the fact that he had also suppressed a few of their companies. However, he heard the Ouyang Family speak in a resentful tone.

“Lu Jingye killed my younger brother and I will make him repay this blood debt!”

“Lu Jingye ended the possibility of the next generation of the Ouyang Family and I will make sure to let him go to hell! So what if he is a royal merchant? Since the higher-ups can select him as the royal merchant, they can also take it away from him.”

“As long as he makes a big mistake, not only will he lose his title as the royal merchant, he will also lose his life.”

“With the four aristocratic families joining forces to suppress him, I don’t believe he still has the chance to flip the tides.”

He Fei was shocked upon hearing their words.

His head was buzzing and he subconsciously walked towards the group who were gathered together. He raised his voice and asked, “You guys think that Second Brother Lu killed Ah Ming?”

The moment they heard that He Fei was still calling Lu Jingye Second Brother, their expressions turned ugly.

“He Fei, why are you still calling him Second Brother at this point in time? Do you think he deserves this?”

“No! That’s not the point.” He Fei became even more anxious. “What I’m asking is, why did you think that Ah Ming was killed by him?”

“Isn’t that the case?” Ouyang Lu’s voice suddenly turned sharp. “My brother got into an accident when Lu Jingye went to the Bermuda Triangle. Moreover, it was Lu Jingye who bombed the Tian Long Stockade. If not him, who else could be the culprit?”

Speaking of this, Ouyang Lu suddenly reacted to a thought that crossed his mind. “Why did my brother have an accident while you managed to return unscathed?”

Her question caused everyone in the small circle to stare at He Fei.

Her tone of voice which sounded as if she was interrogating him made He Fei frown. He said, “It was the Tian Long Stockade’s boss that wanted to harm Lu Jingye and so, they buried explosives throughout the stockade. It was also the Tian Long gang that ignited those explosives and caused the stockade to be blown up.”

“You’re talking nonsense!” You were there, Lu Jingye and his group were also inside. Why did something happen to everyone else except for you and his group?”

Previously, the Ouyang Family’s sisters had not thought about this question and now that they realized it, their gazes towards He Fei had changed.

“He Fei, did you collude with Lu Jingye to deal with the Tian Long Stockade’s boss in advance? And also, you all had thought about the escape route? Since you had already made plans, why didn’t you bring my brother out?”

“To think that Mingming thought of you as a friend and is this how you treated him? At that time, as long as you got Lu Jingye to bring him out, Mingming wouldn’t have died, am I not right?”

He Fei did not expect that the Ouyang Family would question him.

He gritted his teeth and said, “You guys don’t know what happened then and so now you’re making random guesses here?”

He quickly gave them an account of the whole situation.

After he finished giving an account, while everyone had dark expressions, he said angrily, “It was Ah Ming who allied with those people to deal with Lu Jingye and you still want them to save him?”

The expressions of the ladies looked even worse than before.

Ouyang Hui looked at him with reddened eyes. “Even if Lu Jingye did not save him, shouldn’t you have saved him? Even if you can’t save him, shouldn’t you have begged Lu Jingye to save him? Were you still good friends or not?”

“I was unconscious back then and so how was I supposed to save him?” He Fei shouted and those standing around him were all silent.

A few seconds later, the young ladies of the Ouyang Family started to cry at the same time.

Ouyang Ruan said with reddened eyes, “If Lu Jingye had not gone to the Bermuda Triangle, the bosses there would not have thought of dealing with him and Ah Ming would not have died either. In any case, it’s Lu Jingye who killed Mingming!”

Ouyang Hui agreed with her. “That’s right. If he did not go to the Bermuda Triangle, Brother Ming would not have gotten into the accident at all!”

“Yes!”

He Fei could not understand why these people from the Ouyang Family insisted on pushing all the blame onto Lu Jingye.

Even though Ah Ming’s death had also hit him hard, this incident could not be blamed on anyone. Those that ought to be blamed have all perished.

Looking at the look of hatred on their faces, the more He Fei felt that he did not understand their thoughts.

He was even more convinced that he cannot marry any one of them.

Even though he had made this decision, the young ladies of the Ouyang Family suddenly thought of something.

For Lu Jingye to be willing to bring He Fei out during that kind of situation, that proves that He Fei and Lu Jingye had a good relationship.

If they could deal with Lu Jingye through He Fei, wouldn’t it be much easier?

The young ladies looked at each other and tacitly came to a consensus.

Ouyang Hui spoke up at this moment and her tone of voice sounded apologetic. “Brother Fei, we were too agitated earlier and we should not have taken it out on you.”

She then motioned to one of the helpers and grabbed two glasses from the tray. She passed one of the glasses to him and said, “On behalf of my sisters, I’ll apologize to you.”

He Fei could understand their grief and he did not intend to pursue it. He took the glass and drank it.

Ouyang Hui also drank the alcohol and she deliberately approached him. “Brother Fei, do tell us more about the situation at that time. Brother Ming’s passing has dealt a great blow to the family and I want to know the full story.”

The others were also staring at He Fei.

In the end, He Fei repeated everything he mentioned earlier in greater detail.

When he mentioned that a few bosses wanted to work together to deal with Lu Jingye, Dongfang Hao suddenly asked, “How capable is Lu Jingye, for the bosses at the Bermuda Triangle to be willing to unite and deal with him?”

They knew that Lu Jingye was definitely not what he seemed on the surface. For example, would he really be penniless if he did not have the Song Group. However, they did not think that Lu Jingye was as capable as when he had taken over the Lu Group.

He Fei thought about it and said, “Before… Lu Jingye headed to the Bermuda Triangle, he had made a trip to Country Em. He was able to trick all the businessmen there and cooperate with a large mine owner over there to develop a Jadeite mine that shows his capabilities.”

His words caused the group to be silent.

Just then, Qin Shi said, “In that case, the wealth he has far surpasses what we had expected.”

“It’s more than that. He still has Zi Yi’s bar and racing club. The daily income of these two establishments is already very shocking.”

At the mention of these two establishments, everyone subconsciously turned to look at the Ouyang Family’s young ladies.

Their expressions instantly turned livid.

Ouyang Ruan clenched the glass in her hand and said in a heavy tone, “Those belong to Brother Ming and I will take them back one day.”

“That’s right! That woman must have used some underhanded means to take the bar and racing club away from Brother Ming. These things should have belonged to our Ouyang Family!”
