Rebirth of the Superpower Queen

Chapter 184 Who is the murderer?

"What is this?" Ming Shunde looked at the small thing on the ground. He didn't know much about it, but he was sure that this thing must be very threatening, otherwise, he wouldn't have died now.

"That's a good question. This is a snake, an extremely poisonous snake. It just bit me." Meng Zhiling didn't have the time and energy to give him too much scientific knowledge, so she just said it simply.

"What? You were bitten? Where? Are you okay?" Ming Shunde's sleepiness disappeared completely when he heard it. He immediately became nervous and almost checked Meng Zhiling's whole body.

Meng Zhiling smiled slightly. It was not difficult to see that no matter what his mentality was in caring about this matter, at least he still cared about her physical condition, and he was not pretending.

But even if he was genuinely concerned, don't expect Meng Zhiling to be moved. "Something's wrong! How can it be okay? Anyone bitten by it will die."

"Is there no antidote? Don't panic, I'll call Shen Bin over right away. He is the only one in the country who knows antidotes." Ming Shunde fumbled in his pajamas pocket, then as if he remembered something, he went into the room again, and finally walked out of the room again with the phone.

"Hey, old fox, can you please listen to me finish what I say before you get nervous and excited?" Meng Zhiling looked at his shaking hands holding the phone, and a trace of warmth flowed through her heart, but it was negligible.

"What else?" Ming Shunde asked even more nervously.

"Nothing. I just said that although the snake was extremely venomous, I have already suppressed the poison, so you don't need to panic. Also, when I said everyone would die, I didn't say how long. An ordinary person would die within seven days after being bitten, but I am not an ordinary person. I can probably live for another seventy or eighty years."

After Meng Zhiling finished speaking, Ming Shunde's face was full of black lines, and he stared at Meng Zhiling.

Meng Zhiling stuck out her tongue at him. For the first time, she felt that Ming Shunde did have a cute side. Seeing how he was humiliated in front of her just now, she felt happy just thinking about it.

"Zhiling, Shunde has a bad heart, so don't scare him like this." Wang Yumei, who was standing aside, saw the two of them acting like they were on TV, and couldn't help but stand up and say a few words.

"Am I the one who scared him or are you guys scaring me? You know it in your hearts. I just came back and I accepted such a big gift. It seems that someone in this family wants to kill me, Mrs. Ming, do you know who it is?" In fact, Meng Zhiling was the first person she suspected, but she had endured it for so long, waiting for her to take the initiative to talk to her.

I just observed her in secret for a long time and I felt that she was extremely nervous. I don't know if that kind of nervousness and fear was caused by fear of animals like snakes. If not, then it must be that she was afraid of being exposed. In short, it was a bit suspicious.

"What are you talking about? How do I know who it is?" Wang Yumei spoke to Meng Zhiling for the first time in a somewhat stiff manner, and her guilty look made her seem even more nervous.

"Oh? Really? You don't know? I'm sorry, but Mr. Ming, please wake up everyone in the house. I want to try a case tonight. How about that?" Meng Zhiling looked at Ming Shunde with a smile. She had to handle this matter in a high-profile manner. Otherwise, no one would know her true nature, and anyone would bully her in the future.

She doesn't have so much time to stay in this villa and engage in their daily "house fights" and "palace fights".

Today is the day she kills the chicken to scare the monkeys. It is really the right time, the right place and the right people.

"Shunde, look at this, it's so inappropriate to let outsiders know about this happening in the middle of the night. Besides, it's not a big deal. We can deal with it tomorrow. Otherwise, let's call the police first." Wang Yumei pulled Ming Shunde's arm, frowned, and said with a look of righteousness. The tension just now disappeared. On the contrary, she was now declaring her status as the mistress of the family, telling Meng Zhiling that whatever you say is not the truth, and whatever you want is not the way to go.

However, this time, Ming Shunde did not listen to her opinion, nor did he adopt Meng Zhiling's opinion. Instead, he remained silent for a long time and did not answer.

"Will outsiders not know about this if I call the police? Besides, it will still have the same effect if you call the police, because I am a police officer myself. To some extent, I am above the power of the police. So do you think I have the qualifications to search and interrogate every member of the Ming family?" Meng Zhiling looked at Wang Yumei fiercely and asked sharply.

This was the second time, and she was very glad to have boarded Yuan Yong’s pirate ship. This identity seemed pretty good.

After accepting Meng Zhiling's arrogant counter-question, Wang Yumei calmly and calmly said, "Even so, this is the Ming family. In the Ming family, it's not your turn to have the final say. Looking around, which of the descendants of our Ming family doesn't hold high positions and have great power? When will it be your turn to be in the spotlight?"

This response made Wang Yumei seem much more impressive. After all, this was indeed her pride. Except for the second child who was a little less capable, all her children were outstanding and were at the top of the food chain in every field. To be honest, in terms of status, Meng Zhiling was nothing.

However, what is valuable about Meng Zhiling is that she likes challenges, challenging opponents who appear to be much stronger than herself. She has also beaten countless opponents who are much stronger than herself.

"So, you mean that in the Ming family, you have the final say?" Meng Zhiling also used her own method to retaliate, immediately caught the contradiction in her words, and then hit back fiercely. Knowing this, this little trick is definitely nothing in front of Ming Shunde, but as long as the effect she wants is achieved, it's fine.

She didn't expect to sow discord between the couple, she just hoped that Wang Yumei would shut up as soon as possible. She had never been so talkative in the past. Even when Ming Shunde treated her harshly, she stood up and acted gently as a good person. But her attitude today was even more resolute. The attack on her must have a lot to do with her.

She felt that as long as she could guide Ming Shunde's thinking in this direction, it would be enough.

"Alright, we're all family. What's the point of arguing here?" Ming Shunde, unable to bear it any longer, finally spoke up. He then said to Wang Yumei indifferently, "Go and notify everyone to gather in the conference room. No one will sleep tonight until this matter is resolved today."

After saying that, he went upstairs, perhaps to change clothes.

Meng Zhiling also smiled slightly, walked away, and carefully put the little snake that she had just crushed to death into a sealed bag. Now at room temperature, and on a summer night, the temperature was still a bit high. Even though it was dead, the color of the fire snake's body was changing, slowly turning light red, and not as transparent as at the beginning.

It has to be said that in the Ming family, Ming Shunde's prestige is unshakable. In just ten minutes, the conference hall was packed with people. Regardless of masters or servants, everyone stood there, waiting for Ming Shunde to announce some emergency.

Wang Yumei also changed her clothes and sat next to Ming Shunde in a glamorous manner. In the past, Ming Jian was sitting on the other side of Ming Shunde, but today it was Meng Zhiling. People had to speculate privately whether Ming Jian had really fallen out of favor, whether Meng Zhiling would really inherit the old man's property, and whether the old man really intended to pass on all his life's wealth to his granddaughter.

Ming Shunde looked around and nodded to Meng Zhiling. It seemed that everyone was here.

"I'm sorry to disturb your sweet dreams, but you will know the reason soon. Now, I just want to ask for an explanation from Mr. Ming. Since Mr. Ming and Mrs. Ming said that we are a family, why am I being persecuted by some people while living here? No matter how long I can live, I just want an explanation, catch the people who want to harm me, and give me an explanation." Meng Zhiling didn't look at everyone, but looked at Ming Shunde sharply, and threw out the plastic bag containing the snake from behind.

The timid ones covered their mouths after seeing the object clearly, and did not dare to scream because of Ming Shunde's majesty.

"Mrs. Lin, you have always been responsible for cleaning my room, so why did this thing appear in my refrigerator?" Ming Shunde did not say anything, and Meng Zhiling asked by name.

Mrs. Lin, who was still yawning, was so frightened when she heard her name being called that her legs almost went weak. She rushed out of the crowd and ran out immediately, almost kneeling in front of Ming Shunde to prove her innocence.

"Miss, I know you have the habit of eating midnight snacks. After dinner today, I put some fruits in your refrigerator and left, but when I put the things in, there was no such thing in the refrigerator." Fortunately, Mrs. Lin finally spoke rationally. Although her voice was trembling, she looked at Meng Zhiling and seemed to understand that she was not doubting herself, but wanted to state the facts herself.

"Really?" Ming Shunde finally spoke after hearing what Mrs. Lin said, speaking slowly and word by word, touching everyone's heart.

All the people standing there didn't even dare to breathe. The oppressive feeling was destroying everyone's willpower.

"I'll only say this once. Since this incident was discovered in the Ming family, then every member of the Ming family should take corresponding responsibilities, find out the real culprit, not wrongly accuse a good person, and not let a scum go. Now, whoever did it, come forward and I can spare his life!" Ming Shunde stood up with the support of Wang Yumei. His momentum was even more terrifying. The rhythm and tone of his speech were so accurate in attacking people's hearts. Meng Zhiling sighed again, an old fox is always an old fox.

Of course, even so, there was no evidence. Even if someone had done it, they wouldn't be so foolish as to admit it. Everyone knew Meng Zhiling to some extent, and it was obvious she was no good. Even if Ming Shunde spared her, what would it matter? Could Meng Zhiling and Qiao Surong get away with it?

Therefore, even if Ming Shunde spoke up, no one was willing to step forward and admit that they did it. This was a serious matter of murder. No matter how confused and careless a person was, he would not dare to speak easily.
