"Utterly senseless." Emotions churned in Zhang Hongbo's eyes as he asked his final question. "If I hadn't come, would you have taken them? Used them to hold me back, forcing me to protect you?"
"How could I..." Zhang Feng immediately denied it, but before he could finish, his eyes rolled back, and he collapsed, stiff as a board, completely silent.
"Father..." Zhang Hengyu stared blankly, watching as his second uncle collapsed.
"Father, what on earth is happening?" Zhang Yunqing asked urgently, a terrible premonition rising in her heart.
"He... was colluding with the Deceitful God Sect." Zhang Hongbo kept his head down, staring at the body on the floor, his own chest still rising and falling slightly.
"What?" Zhang Yunqing's heart hammered in her chest as the shocking realization hit her.
'I'd subconsciously ruled out anyone connected to Father as a suspect.'
"Did Yang Yan and the others find out?" Zhang Yunqing couldn't help but ask.
