Tang Zhongcheng continuously turned a string of Buddhist beads in his hand, muttering some scriptures.
Suddenly, with a *snap*, it broke, and the beads scattered on the ground.
This scene displeased Zhang Meiyu, who already disliked Tang Zhongcheng.
Seizing upon this incident, she erupted in a fit of rage.
"Your affectation only moves yourself. What use is your Buddha? What can it do for my son?"
"If you truly cared for Tang Xu, you wouldn't come to his grave to sicken him."
Zhang Meiyu's sharp tongue was as potent as ever.
Tang Zhongcheng lowered his head, enduring silently like a mute, not daring to retort.
"Xiao Min, next time you come to pay respects to Tang Xu, don't bring unnecessary people. Their presence is superfluous."
Normally, Tang Xiao Min would have paid Tang Zhongcheng no mind.
But today was different.
As his father, Tang Zhongcheng had the right to know the truth. And to witness the outcome.
"I've asked everyone to come today because there's something about Tang Xu that I want to tell you all," Tang Xiao Min said.
Tang Xu had already died in a car accident saving Tang Xiao Min, and the culprit, Zhang Guo'er, had already been personally killed.
What else could there be?
Zhang Meiyu said, "Xiao Min, Tang Xu is gone. Mom doesn't blame you, so please don't carry any psychological burden."
There was, to some extent, a psychological burden.
"What I want to talk about today is something else. Besides Zhang Guo'er, there was another person who caused Tang Xu's death."
"What!"
For a moment, the Tang family was stunned by this news, their faces turning grave. Sudancn.com
"Xiao Min, what exactly is going on?" Zhang Meiyu asked.
At this point, it was time to tell them the full story.
"It's true that Zhang Guo'er was the one driving the car that hit him. But there was someone behind her, meticulously driving Zhang Guo'er to madness."
At these words, everyone was shocked once again.
"Who could be so vicious? I will kill him myself and make him pay with his blood!" Zhang Meiyu said angrily, a fierce killing intent surging in her eyes.
Losing a child in old age was a pain that only those who had personally experienced it could truly understand.
Seeing the enraged expressions of the Tang family members, Tang Xiao Min understood why she hadn't told them beforehand.
If they had known earlier, who knew what shocking and bizarre things they might have done.
If someone had to have blood on their hands, then let it be her. After all, Tang Xu had died because of her this time.
"I have apprehended that person. Today, no matter what, an account must be settled."
As soon as she finished speaking, Tang Xiao Min slowly walked to the car and opened the trunk.
A sack had appeared in the trunk at some point, wriggling and emitting muffled sounds.
Tang Ye and Tang Yu leaned in, curiously eyeing the sack.
"Xiao Min, who have you kidnapped?"
"Inside this is the murderer who fanned the flames and caused Tang Xu's death," Tang Xiao Min stated.
Upon hearing this, the Tang family members' faces immediately turned angry.
Tang Ye said resentfully, "Hmph! Let me see who it is that caused Tang Xu's death!"
Tang Ye roughly pulled the sack down and untied the rope, revealing the bound Lu Sisi.
Her mouth was stuffed with a sock, and her hands and feet were tightly bound, rendering her immobile.
"Mmm..."
"Mmm..."
Lu Sisi couldn't speak. The expression on her face showed her extreme fear at that moment.
Seeing that the culprit was merely a girl with an innocent appearance, roughly the same age as Tang Xiao Min, everyone looked at Tang Xiao Min in confusion.
"Xiao Min, isn't this Lu Sisi, Lu Ze'er's sister? You're saying she's the one who caused Tang Xu's death?"
"She looks so frail and weak, are you sure?" Tang Ye said.
Once upon a time, Tang Xiao Min had felt the same way as Tang Ye, so she didn't blame him for thinking that.
"Don't judge a book by its cover. Beneath her innocent facade lies a ravenous wolf."
"Just a day ago, she was prostituting herself for money."
This...
Just as Tang Ye and the others were beginning to doubt, Tang Xiao Min single-handedly pulled Lu Sisi up from the ground and threw her in front of Tang Xu's tombstone.
*Bang!*
The dull thud made one's scalp tingle.
To see a girl treat another girl so brutally, it was enough to inspire awe.
Tang Xiao Min yanked the sock out of Lu Sisi's mouth, and she could finally speak.
"Tang Xiao Min, what are you doing?"
"I warn you, if you dare do anything to me today, you're breaking the law!"
"Heh..."
Tang Xiao Min suddenly laughed, her eyes filled with mockery and helplessness.
"If the law were fair and just, you murderer would have paid for Tang Xu's life long ago. Tang Xu's bones have already rotted, yet you are still alive and well."
"Lu Sisi, today you will atone for your sins with your death at Tang Xu's grave."
Lu Sisi shook her head wildly, vehemently denying it.
"I didn't. Tang Xu's death has nothing to do with me. Don't wrongly accuse me! I didn't!"
Even at Tang Xu's grave, Lu Sisi still tried to quibble.
Such utter shamelessness completely infuriated Tang Xiao Min.
She grabbed Lu Sisi's head and slammed it hard against Tang Xu's tombstone, once, then again.
She said fiercely, "Lu Sisi, open your eyes wide and see clearly, whose name is written on this tombstone!"
Lu Sisi winced in pain, not in any condition to look at the tombstone.
Not getting the answer she wanted, Tang Xiao Min once again violently slammed Lu Sisi's head against the tombstone.
"I'll ask you one more time, whose name is on the tombstone!"
After just two impacts, Lu Sisi's head began to bleed, blood trickling down her eyelashes and then dripping down her cheek.
But Lu Sisi saw that Tang Xiao Min's lips were curled into a maniacal smile.
That smile was as ferocious and terrifying as a demon from hell, as if she could take her life at any moment.
She became scared and tremblingly replied.
"It... it's Tang Xu's name."
Tang Xiao Min continued to ask.
"Who killed him?"
"It was... it was Zhang Guo'er."
"Zhang Guo'er?"
Tang Xiao Min's face changed instantly; she was clearly not satisfied with this answer.
With another fierce blow, she slammed Lu Sisi's head against the tombstone.
*Bang!*
"Lu Sisi, you're not being honest. This is your punishment for lying!"
"I'll ask you one more time, who killed Tang Xu!"
Lu Sisi trembled with fear. In this situation, she was clearly at a dead end.
"Tang Xiao Min, no matter what I say, the outcome will be the same. You won't let me go anyway."
"Since that's the case, you'll never get the answer you want from me."
"Even if you kill me now, it will be under duress. I won't let you have your way; you're a demon!"
"Let your family see clearly, your bloodthirsty, murderous side."
