Chapter 422 Chen Zhiyi's Resolution
"Why did you guys bring us to this house?" Ximen Yuqing asked as she looked at Chen Li and Feng Xian'er in confusion.
"Bring Chen Hu out of there, hubby."
Ximen Yuqing and Chen Zhiyi were shocked when Chen Hu appeared before them, and Chen Li hung his hands on the ceiling.
Ximen Yuqing grabbed Chen Li's hand. "Even though he has wronged you and the others, he is still your uncle, so I hope you won't kill him."
"Have you forgotten what he planned for you?" Feng Xian'er asked her. "If it weren't for my hubby, he would have handed you over to his friends, and they would have done the craziest things that you never imagined before."
"But-"
"No buts! He is a menace, and he has committed too many unforgivable mistakes, so you don't need to beg for him anymore."
Hearing that, Ximen Yuqing lowered her sad face and bit her lower lip until it bled. Even though she hated him after the last incident, she still couldn't bear to see her daughter's father die. Meanwhile, Chen Zhiyi looked at her father in dilemma and clenched her fists.
"Ugh! Chen Hu suddenly groaned after Chen Li used his light qi on his body, but he went into shock once he opened his eyes. "Yuqing! Zhiyi! Please save me from them!"
*Clang*
The sound of metal falling startled them, and the two women immediately looked at Feng Xian'er after they saw the dagger on the floor.
"What do you mean by this?"
Unlike her mother, Chen Zhiyi certainly knew Feng Xian'er's purpose, but she was hesitant about picking it up.
Feng Xian'er did not answer her question and spoke to Chen Zhiyi. "This is your last chance; you have to prove your sacrifice if you want to be my hubby's wife."
"Xian'er! You are such a mad woman! Chen Hu is her father, and you asked her to kill him!" However, Feng Xian'er couldn't care less about her words, and Ximen Yuqing turned to her daughter. "Zhiyi! I know you love Li'er, but you must not do this! Even though he is very evil, he is your father!"
Chen Zhiyi did not respond to her mother's screams as she was at a crossroads, deciding which path she should choose.
Ximen Yuqing grabbed her shoulders. "Zhiyi! Listen to me! You must not kill your father! Even if you get your wish to become Li'er's wife, you will suffer bad karma, and I don't want that to happen to you, so I hope you won't obey that crazy woman's words."
"Zhiyi! I am your father! You can't kill me!" Chen Hu then turned to Chen Li and Feng Xian'er. "You can kill me, but I beg you not to ask her to do it!"
Seeing Chen Zhiyi continue to hesitate, Feng Xian said to Chen Li. "Hubby, you can kill Chen Hu now; she is not worthy to be one of us."
Chen Zhiyi looked at her father again after hearing that, but Ximen Yuqing hugged her very tightly, as she did not want her daughter to kill Chen Hu.
Although she didn't want Chen Hu to die, Ximen Yuqing was fully aware that it was impossible for her to save him, especially since Feng Xian'er was truly a mad woman.
Chen Li just nodded and pressed his palm against Chen Hu's chest. "If you hadn't betrayed my father, and if you hadn't made my mother and Aunt Wei'er suffer, then today's incident would never have happened. If you want to blame someone, you can blame it on your own greed."
"Wait, big brother!" Chen Zhiyi shouted as she pushed Ximen Yuqing with a little force, causing her to almost fall backwards, but Feng Xian'er supported and restrained her.
"Zhiyi! Stop it! Don't follow that woman's madness!"
"Mom." Chen Zhiyi called out as she turned to her mother. "I know this is wrong, but I want to be Big Brother's wife, and I will do anything to be with him."
"Zhiyi! No! Don't do that!" Ximen Yuqing shouted frantically, but Chen Zhiyi didn't listen to her and picked up the dagger. "Xian'er! Please! Don't force my daughter to kill her father!"
"It's all up to her." Feng Xian'er responded with a shrug. "Zhiyi has to do it if she wants to be part of us, or she can leave and forget everything."
"Xian'er- Ugh!"
Before she screamed again, Feng Xian'er knocked Ximen Yuqing unconscious and brought her to her side, and she then spoke to Chen Zhiyi. "Are you sure you want to do it? You still have a chance to back off now, and you can take your mother away from here, but you can forget about my hubby."
"No." Chen Zhiyi shook her head at Feng Xian'er. "I won't back down anymore, and I will prove it to you that I am worthy to be Big Brother's wife."
"En." Feng Xian'er nodded to her. "In that case, you can kill Chen Hu now, and you will be part of us from today onwards."
"Yes." Chen Zhiyi gripped the dagger tightly and pointed the sharp part at her father.
"Zhiy! No! You have to stop this madness!" Chen Hu panicked as soon as Chen Zhiyi stood in front of him, especially after he saw the resolution on his daughter's face. "Chen Li! Xian'er! Please! Stop her!"
"Dad!" Chen Zhiyi called softly. "I'm sorry, but I don't want to lose Big Brother, so I'll kill you now."
"Zhiyi! Come to your senses! I am your father! You can't kill me!" Chen Hu kept shouting at her, but he himself was powerless to stop his daughter.
"Please forgive me." Chen Zhiyi then closed her eyes and thrust the dagger into her father's chest.
However, when the dagger was an inch away from Chen Hu's chest, Chen Zhiyi was shocked because it bounced from her hand and fell to the floor.
*Clang*
Instantly, Chen Zhiyi opened her eyes and turned to Feng Xian'er in confusion, but she just smiled at her and took the dagger. "Well done; you have proven that you are worthy to be my hubby's wife, and I will accept you as one of us from now on."
"Is that true?" Chen Zhiyi asked as tears dripped from the corners of her eyes. "Are you really going to accept me without me killing my father?"
"Yes." Feng Xian'er nodded and explained it to her. "After all, my hubby has many wives now, but you are such a jealous girl, and your jealousy can destroy the harmony between us. Since I am the leader of his harem, I have to do something to keep his harem intact and harmonious. Besides, I know that your feelings for him are very sincere, so I want to see your resolution to be with him by giving you that condition. Even though I have accepted you as part of us, you still have to learn to control your jealousy, and you also have to be able to win over my other sisters to accept you. Do you understand?"
"Yes, I understand, and I will definitely change." After he answered that, Chen Zhiyi felt her head spin around and cause him to fall backwards, but Feng Xian'er caught her.
Chen Li shook his head and said to her. "You scared me, you know? I thought you really wanted Zhiyi to kill her father, and it would be a nightmare that would haunt her for the rest of her life."
"Haha! I certainly wouldn't do such a thing, especially since it would make Zhiyi suffer." Chen Li nodded with a soft sigh, and Feng Xian'er said it to him again. "At first, I thought she wouldn't have the guts to do it, but I didn't expect that she finally decided to kill her father, so she is indeed worthy to be your wife."
"That's true." Chen Li himself did not expect that Chen Zhiyi would make the decision to kill her father. "Anyway, you can take them back to our mansion, and I'll meet Wen Xian and the others after I deal with Chen Hu."
"All right." After that, Feng Xian'er lifted the two women with her aura, and she took them away from the Chen House.
On the other hand, Chen Hu felt relieved that Feng Xian'er stopped his daughter from killing him. "You can kill me, but I hope you will take good care of Zhiyi."
"You don't need to think about that." Chen Li pressed his palm against Chen Hu's chest. "I'll send you there now."
Chen Hu just nodded to him, and Chen Li killed him with one strike. Afterwards, he enveloped his corpse with qi before burning it to ashes, and he let the ashes fly away in the wind.
Chen Li then turned to Chen Zhen's photo in the room. "Even though you are not my father, you are still my mother's late husband, and I will kill the person who took you away from her."
After he said that, Chen Li went straight to his pharmaceutical factory to see Wen Xia, but Lu Zhe told him that she and the others were at the office building.
"Is everything I asked for ready?"
"Not yet, boss." Lu Zhe replied by shaking his head. "Everything will definitely be ready tonight, so you can come back later to take them all."
"That's good." Chen Li nodded in satisfaction. "In that case, I will go to the office building to meet them, and you guys must have to train harder."
