If he was really displeased, he could have just killed all these people directly. Why make a scene?
Just like what Nie Hongchen said before he died.
This is the high seas, and on the high seas, anything can happen.
Death, of course, is no exception.
He had countless ways to make Nie Hongchen wish he were dead and regret coming into this world, but he didn't do that. He just gave him a quick end.
In some sense, he actually gave Nie Hongchen a release.
If the matter had escalated, it wouldn't be just Nie Hongchen being affected, but the entire International Entertainment.
Behind International Entertainment, there are many interests at play. Although Nie Jianghe is the so-called chairman, he cannot affect the overall stock price and operations of International Entertainment.
From the moment Nie Jianghe recognized Lin Beichen, there was no longer a second possibility.
The only difference was one.
If Lin Beichen didn't kill Nie Hongchen, the forces behind International Entertainment would have forced Nie Jianghe to take action himself. In the end, it would have been a father-son conflict, and Nie Hongchen would have ended up dead.
Nie Jianghe wailed with grief, holding Nie Hongchen's body, but he didn't dare blame Lin Beichen.
Because he knew very well that from the moment Nie Hongchen voluntarily challenged Lin Beichen, Nie Hongchen had to die.
If it weren't for the large number of people present, he would have knelt down and apologized to Lin Beichen.
Lin Beichen solved the trouble himself, without needing Nie Jianghe to intervene, which was already giving him face.
With Nie Hongchen dead, it means the whole matter ends here. From now on, anyone doing business with International Entertainment won't need to consider Nie Hongchen's influence and can proceed as usual.
"Mr. Lin, it's too chaotic here. Let me take you somewhere else."
Wang Chaolun came to Lin Beichen's side and said respectfully.
"Go mind your business, leave me out of it."
Lin Beichen said blandly and turned to walk away.
He was just here to relax and didn't want to get too involved with the Feng Shui Association.
"Come on, there's nothing interesting here, let's find another place to check out."
Lin Beichen glanced at Liu Yunxi and said blandly.
As he walked out, a path naturally formed around him, with everyone watching Lin Beichen's back, each with a different expression.
Not until Lin Beichen completely left did they finally breathe a sigh of relief. When looking at Nie Hongchen's body again, their eyes carried a more complex expression.
Liu Yunxi and others finally came to their senses and hurried to catch up with Lin Beichen.
Yuan Yanan stood among the crowd, seemingly hesitating for a moment, but then resolutely followed along.
Only Luo Meixiang was looking around at the crowd, seemingly in conflict.
She came to Xiang Island not only to attend the drinking party but also to find some business partners.
But she couldn't ignore Lin Beichen either.
Various thoughts entangled within her, and for a moment, Luo Meixiang didn't know what to decide.
"Luo Meixiang, please, for the sake of International Entertainment helping you several times, say something to Mr. Lin on my behalf."
Nie Jianghe looked up, still holding Nie Hongchen's body tightly, but his eyes gradually calmed down.
After all, he's a big figure who has weathered the storms for decades, quickly analyzing the pros and cons of all parties.
Nie Hongchen's death was his own doing, not Lin Beichen's fault.
Besides, the dead cannot be brought back to life. Since Nie Hongchen is already dead, International Entertainment cannot be affected further.
"Don't worry, Uncle Nie."
Luo Meixiang sighed lightly, finding it inconvenient to say more, and turned to walk toward Lin Beichen.
After Luo Meixiang left, only Nie Hongchen's invited friends remained at the drinking party.
Nie Jianghe wiped his face. Although still pale, he forced a smile.
"Everyone, there was a little mishap today. My son drank too much and overindulged, leading to a heart attack and sudden death."
"I apologize to you all, please don't speak out after you leave, and let my son keep his last bit of dignity."
As he said this, Nie Jianghe took a cup of wine.
Seeing this, everyone hurried to raise their glasses.
However, Nie Jianghe did not drink, but silently poured it beside Nie Hongchen.
Seeing this, people's expressions became more complicated.
Nie Hongchen is dead, but it's indeed too unbelievable.
Even now, they can't believe it. Before boarding the ship, he was still joking and talking, exuding charisma. Now he's just a stiff corpse.
"Uncle Nie, you deal with things first, we're fine on our own."
Nie Jianghe nodded, leaving with the help of the butler.
Nie Hongchen's body was lifted by servants, silently following behind.
The crowd made way, watching Nie Hongchen leave. The atmosphere, though somewhat relaxed, had lost its festive spirit.
They witnessed a legend today, but the cost was Nie Hongchen's tragic death.
Actually, Lin Beichen was right; they indeed weren't weak, but the high society never interacts with the lower world, so they never regard the lower people at all.
Or rather, those from lower levels are not considered people at all. They only regard themselves as people.
But precisely because of this, Nie Hongchen's death made them feel very regretful.
The high society isn't big to begin with, and with Nie Hongchen dead, it's even smaller.
Lin Beichen was supposedly a member of this circle but never hesitated. In just a few days of being on Xiang Island, he had already killed so many big figures.
Will he come back?
If he does, everyone will be on edge.
"What should we do about today's matters? Should we talk about it?"
The crowd was still in silence when someone suddenly asked.
Upon hearing this, the others were stunned, then shook their heads repeatedly.
"This kind of thing will come out sooner or later. Why should we speak carelessly?"
Today's events cannot be hidden, but they must not be revealed by them.
If it was discovered that they spoke out, Nie Jianghe would surely blame them.
"Since Nie Jianghe isn't planning to investigate, why should you say anything? Do you want to die with Nie Hongchen?"
Someone said coldly.
Within the crowd, Evil Ghost Wolf's eyes flickered slightly.
He was also supposed to die, but he survived by chance.
Did Lin Beichen not notice him, or did he forget to kill him?
A person has only one life, and he dare not think too much.
He only knows one thing: since he survived today, he must hide away, somewhere Lin Beichen can never discover.
Otherwise, if Lin Beichen found out he was still alive, he would surely take action.
Evil Ghost Wolf silently moved toward the back door, following Nie Jianghe's footsteps.
However, as soon as he stepped out, he saw Nie Jianghe on the balcony deck outside the banquet hall, with no trace of grief, only full of anger.
"Master, how should Young Master's body be handled? Should it be placed in the cold storage first?"
A servant cautiously asked.
"Master, Young Master died miserably. Is this matter to be forgotten like this? Shouldn't we take revenge?"
The butler followed by, his eyes full of anguish.
Nie Hongchen was someone he watched grow up.
This child was a bit troublesome, but not bad at heart. Now, with his body not yet cold, the murderer is still at large on the ship, and it pains him the most.
However, just after he finished speaking, Nie Jianghe's face darkened.
"You want me to avenge?"
Nie Jianghe looked at the butler drowsily, his forehead veins bulging.
"I just said that he died suddenly of a heart attack. He took his own life. Who do you want me to take revenge on?"
The old butler stared blankly at Nie Jianghe, opening his mouth several times, only to be too frightened to speak.
Did the Young Master really commit suicide?
Didn't the Master just say that to reassure people and ease the situation?
Wasn't the Master aiming to defuse the situation, and only after everything calmed down, strike against Lin Beichen?
Will Nie Hongchen really be resolved as suicide?
"Old butler, you've been with me for over 20 years, you should know that Nie Hongchen was the one who caused me the most headaches!
He was kept only because that scheming woman relied on multiple forces to pressure me, so this bastard was kept around!"
Nie Jianghe said with disgust. Turning around, he saw his men still holding Nie Hongchen's body, and was instantly filled with boundless rage.
This idiot was to blame for him being looked down upon by Mr. Lin!
