Chapter 317 - 315: The Truth Revealed
"Bro, do you know this guy? Tell me, how did this woman end up in your room?" Ouyang Meijia wasn’t clueless. This woman was in her brother’s room, clearly brought from outside.
Perhaps this guy is this girl’s boyfriend, here to get her back.
"Well... I got her from..."
"He was out picking flowers unsuccessfully, got caught by me, then stole my car and brought my girlfriend here, and coincidentally enough, the Jade Pendant fell at the crime scene, which I picked up and used to get into Ouyang Manor."
Before Ouyang Jian could finish, Chen Tianlong interrupted to prevent him from distorting the truth.
"Bro, is that so?"
Ouyang Meijia’s face started to collapse. If this is true, then her brother committed a crime; no wonder the town has been on edge with rumors about a flower thief, elusive and powerful.
At that time, she pondered when such a skilled person appeared in the town that even the police couldn’t handle. Now it seems it might all be her brother’s doing.
"No, Meijia, don’t listen to his nonsense!" Ouyang Jian quickly denied the claims.
At that moment, Chen Tianlong suddenly tossed the Jade Pendant towards Ouyang Meijia, who caught it, glanced at it, and her expression turned grim.
"This Jade Pendant was found at the crime scene this morning, the victim is outside the city gates, and can confront directly. Additionally, there’s a black Audi parked outside your villa, that’s my car..."
Chen Tianlong didn’t want to keep explaining and, holding Wu Mengting, slowly walked out: "I advise you to turn yourself in, otherwise... the consequences will be severe."
However, Ouyang Jian wasn’t about to let Chen Tianlong go and threw a punch at his back.
Yet.
At that moment, Ouyang Meijia swiftly moved behind Chen Tianlong, intercepting Ouyang Jian’s move.
"Meijia, what are you doing? He’s out to harm our brother, how will you handle him?"
"Smack!"
The words had barely left his mouth when a crisp slap echoed, causing Ouyang Jian’s face to burn, yet he didn’t dare make a sound.
He knew, after all, that his sister was trained in martial arts from a young age, stronger than him, and one of the young masters of the Ouyang family. He wouldn’t dare provoke her.
Most importantly, their father doted on this daughter, treating her like a treasure. Her authority in the Ouyang family even surpassed his.
They were siblings with different mothers, and his sister’s specific identity was something even he didn’t fully know. Their father had always kept it mysterious.
"Bro, wake up, committing wrong deeds and then escalating shamelessly, aren’t you ashamed? Do you believe I won’t tell Dad?"
Ouyang Meijia said coldly.
"Huh? No, sis, I know I was wrong. I won’t dare in the future, please don’t tell Dad. He’ll kill me."
Even though Ouyang Jian preferred doing things alone, he feared Master Ouyang the most.
"Hm, you’d better watch yourself, or no one will be able to help you!" Ouyang Meijia said and pushed open the door, striding out swiftly.
If things are as the guy said, would she have misjudged him?
Although it seemed she had been taken advantage of, he was anxiously searching for someone, accidentally witnessing her; she couldn’t blame him.
"Hey, can you promise me something?"
Ouyang Meijia quickly caught up with Chen Tianlong and said hesitantly.
But when their eyes met, Ouyang Meijia couldn’t help but lower her head, her face turning red, recalling earlier misunderstandings, her cheeks burned.
"You want me to spare your brother, right? I heard he’s defiled quite a few girls; I’m willing, but maybe they aren’t. They probably reported him by now."
Chen Tianlong said indifferently.
"You can help!"
Ouyang Meijia said with determination: "If you help with this, I’ll help cure your friend!"
"Oh?"
Originally, Chen Tianlong didn’t have any interest in Ouyang Meijia’s next words, being preoccupied with treating Wu Mengting, not wanting to deal with these messes.
But hearing Ouyang Meijia’s last line, his eyes suddenly shone brightly.
"Did you just say you know what’s ailing her?" Chen Tianlong asked somewhat surprised.
"Don’t know!"
Ouyang Meijia’s response left Chen Tianlong speechless.
"But my dad knows." Ouyang Meijia, seeing Chen Tianlong’s expression, quickly said.
"Oh? Your dad is a doctor?"
Seeing a twist of fate, Chen Tianlong’s eyes brightened.
"Yes, my dad is incredibly skilled. I bet your friend’s illness, he can cure." Ouyang Meijia stated firmly.
"..." Once again, Chen Tianlong was speechless. So she was guessing, yet she spoke with such conviction, almost like stating facts.
"Hmph, if you don’t believe me, then forget it!"
Seeing Chen Tianlong’s somewhat speechless expression, Ouyang Meijia pouted, but soon she remembered her brother’s situation, calmed herself and said: "Fine, come with me, let him take a look to see if he can treat it."
Chen Tianlong hesitated for a moment, then nodded. If the Ouyang family can really treat Wu Mengting, he’d save a trip to Ice City, as acquiring the Ice Spirit Fruit once there wasn’t guaranteed.
Most critically, the Ice Spirit Fruit’s effectiveness in curing Wu Mengting wasn’t certain by anyone.
The two quickly headed to the Ouyang Manor’s main hall, where Manor Master Ouyang Xiu was leisurely sipping tea with a friend.
Seeing his daughter stride through the door suddenly, he paused, then noticed the young man behind her, even more puzzled.
"Meijia, what urgency brought you here, and who’s this young lad?"
Ouyang Xiu, upon first seeing Chen Tianlong, felt unfamiliarity, but also sensed something beyond mere unfamiliarity. This young man’s aura conveyed a fierce intensity, to the experienced Manor Master, marking him as extraordinary.
"Dad, are you free now? I have an urgent matter to discuss with you." Ouyang Meijia avoided speaking directly, considering it a family scandal not to be aired publicly.
"Oh? Feel free to speak, this is my close friend Li Jing, no need for reservations." Ouyang Xiu was straightforward.
"Dad, it’s about brother Ouyang Jian’s situation, are you sure..."
"Hmm, just talk freely." Although Ouyang Xiu said so, he waved his hand to have the attendants all leave.
Two minutes later, Ouyang Xiu spoke again: "Daughter, just tell me what you need to."
"Dad, it’s like this, my brother has... made a mistake again, and someone caught him with evidence!" Apparently, they were aware of Ouyang Jian’s affairs.
Hearing this, Chen Tianlong frowned tightly. What kind of family knowing their child’s crime yet indulging him was beyond comprehension.
"What? That rascal! Still doesn’t change his ways, truly infuriating, cough cough..."
