Detective Ghost Empress

287 Cutting the right hand off

Ji Mo knew that there was no way he will be able to get away from this situation without breaking at least a hand or two, with Liu Dong Ming in the mix it would be surprising if he made it out of this ordeal alive!

“Then what do you want prime minister Liu?” When he saw that he could not get Liu Dong Ming to back down Ji Mo could only lower his stance. This was a difficult situation, he knew that tonight his losses will be more severe than just Ji Meng and a little chunk of his reputation being hurt in front of his majesty and his trustable aides.

Liu Dong Ming glanced at Liu Hui Ying, though his glance was only fleeting Liu Hui Ying felt her heartbeat quicken, she did not know why but with just one glance of his, she felt as if he could see through her! Liu Hui Ying immediately looked away, she did not want to stare into those void eyes that seemed to be so empty that they looked completely dead to the world.

But at the same time, she was curious to know just what Liu Dong Ming went through to have such eyes. How can there be no hope in those eyes of his?

” That man is so scary, all right?” Li Gang muttered as he peeped at Liu Dong Ming while he hid behind Liu Hui Ying. Just now he was sure that the man’s gaze stopped at him for a mili second before he looked away, if not for Zhai Heng standing on his side, he would have thought that the man was looking at him!

But even if the man did not look at him, he could not help but feel scared of that gaze, it was too cold…just too cold for even a ghost like him.

” Yup,” Jia Li was crouching on the floor holding Liu Hui Ying’s pants like a child who was caught by her parents and was now seeking protection from her elder sister. Just now she too felt Liu Dong Ming glance at her when he turned his head, it was such a scary look that Jia Li almost cried for her mother whom she disliked with all her heart.

If not for the fact that she did not know that the man could not see her and Yu Lingyun standing behind her, she would have thought that the man was looking at her just now.

Liu Hui Ying shook the two ghosts who were clinging to her off her body and glared at them. These two were supposed to be ghosts and they were getting scared of a man! Grandma Lan Fen was better than the two of them but the latter unlike Jia Li and Li Gang who died early and had a lot of ying energy around them—— died when she was really old. Her Yang energy was less, to begin with, and when she died the Yang energy did not transform into Yin energy properly.

.....

Thus, when Grandma Lan Fen got hurt in her ghostly form she needed much more rest than Jia Li and Li Hang.

If not then she would have summoned Grandma Lan Fen before the two of them!

Liu Dong Ming however only glanced at Liu Hui Ying and turned all his attention on Ji Mo, his eyes were calm but everyone who knew him understood that there was a storm brewing inside his heart. He was a man who was most dangerous when he was silent and sure enough when he spoke he caused everyone to be stunned speechless by his words.

“A life for a life, since I could not punish the culprit who caused the death of my daughter then I think I deserve to be at least punished someone who hindered the justice that should have been handed over to my daughter?” Liu Hui Ying looked at Ji Mo, because of her unjustified death Liu Fei Fei did not want her body to be buried without finding out who was the one who killed her.

Thus, Zhai Tianyu had no choice but to keep Liu Fei Fei’s body covered in medicinal paste and on an ice block to make sure that her body does not start rotting. It has been so many days and Zhai Tianyu had received so many complaints from the Ji family to bury Liu Fei Fei and end the matter but he has refused all those memorandums that were full of complaints.

The only one who did not send a complaint was Liu Dong Ming which was why Zhai Tianyu could clash with the other official saying that Liu Dong Ming agreed with him.

He was the puppet Emperor it was only right for him to listen to one or the other.

“You are crazy!” Ji Mo was first to understand what Liu Dong Ming was asking, he was actually asking him to hand Ji Xianglan as the substitute for Ji Meng. If he had known that this would happen, he would have asked Ji Xianglan to cut that man’s tongue off instead of his head!

Liu Dong Ming simply smiled and said, ” It does not matter whether you take me as crazy or something else, what I do know is that you need to hand me this man. It’s one or another way, Lord Ji …but you know me I will not stop unless I get what I want.”

On the side, Liu Hui Ying almost clapped for Liu Dong Ming. He was worthy of leading such a big family like the Liu family, he was literally a tyrant. He was actually asking for Ji Mo’s right-hand man in the name of a substitute! Clearly, he wants to clean up the Ji family for using him as a chess piece in their game——-

Liu Hui Ying turned to look at Ji Mo whose face was turning black and white and whistled lowly. Tonight no matter what happens, the damages that the Ji family were going to suffer will be irreversible.
