The young man with yellow hair, seeing their expressions, was also filled with shock.
What was going on? How had he become an accomplice to outsiders?
Was something wrong with his older brother Lei Jin, or was he, the younger brother, the problem? Or perhaps, the world itself had gone awry.
In his panic, he pulled out something hard from his pocket. Peering at it in the firelight, he exclaimed, "Hey, it's a knife."
Hadn't he dropped it when he fainted earlier?
Seeing this, Lei Jin's face changed drastically. "It was you!"
"Yellow hair, why did you betray us?" the red-haired subordinate shouted in a low voice.
They had noticed that they themselves had no knives, so why did yellow hair have one?
Suddenly, the yellow-haired subordinate grinned evilly. "Heh heh, it was me. Now I'll kill you all!"
The next moment, he charged towards Lei Jin.
Lei Jin was startled. He was unarmed, and then he spotted a wooden stick not far away.
He picked up the stick and swung it at the charging yellow-haired subordinate.
It was as if he was offering himself up.
*Bang!*
A blow landed on the yellow-haired subordinate's head.
*Thump.* The yellow-haired subordinate fell to the ground. At this moment, the evil grin on his face vanished, replaced by fear and disbelief.
Lei Jin poked the yellow-haired subordinate with the stick and found that the latter was motionless.
"Brother Lei, did you kill Yellow Hair?" the red-haired subordinate asked, his voice trembling with panic.
Lei Jin walked over with a somber expression, felt for the yellow-haired subordinate's breathing, and found none. His face was extremely grim. He hadn't expected to kill the other person with just one blow!
"He colluded with others. Who else should I have beaten if not him!" Lei Jin was still shaken. Although he had hated the yellow-haired subordinate before and wished him dead, he had now personally killed someone. This was far more serious than the incident where Luo Yujiao was forced to her death.
Before, even if they had investigated, finding a good lawyer might have meant he wouldn't face the death penalty.
But now, he had personally killed someone, and the situation was dire.
With both crimes, it would be capital punishment!
"Since Yellow Hair betrayed us, he deserves it!" the red-haired subordinate said gravely.
Lei Jin said in a deep voice, "Go get that knife. I suspect he definitely has accomplices."
"Okay!" The red-haired subordinate nodded and bent down to retrieve the knife.
But at this very moment, a sinister grin spread across Lei Jin's face. He raised the stick and brought it down hard on the red-haired subordinate's head.
*Bang!*
Before the red-haired subordinate could grab the dagger, he staggered and fell.
"You, Brother Lei, why did you hit me?" the red-haired subordinate's eyes were filled with disbelief.
"If I don't kill you, you'll use killing Yellow Hair to threaten me later. I know you too well!" Lei Jin's face contorted. "Besides, you were just feeling in your pocket for your phone. I bet you were recording audio or video!"
"You..." The red-haired subordinate's eyes widened in shock. He hadn't expected Lei Jin to notice his small movement.
Yes.
Although the yellow-haired subordinate was dead, he had recorded Lei Jin's act of murder.
He had indeed recorded it, but he dared not reveal it, fearing Lei Jin would kill him too. Moreover, he had always acted as if he would follow Lei Jin's lead. He never imagined that the other party had seen through him long ago and had turned the tables, killing him as well.
"So, you die too! You had a good relationship, didn't you? Go keep Yellow Hair company!" Lei Jin sneered.
*Bang, bang, bang.*
He raised the stick and brutally smashed it into the red-haired subordinate's head, blow after blow.
His actions were ruthless.
In fact, the red-haired subordinate was dead after two blows.
But for fear that the other person was not dead, he added a few more blows before letting go.
Then, he went to retrieve the red-haired subordinate's phone.
"You actually prepared to record me to threaten me!" Lei Jin sneered, turning off the recording function and preparing to delete the video.
But at this moment, a creaking sound came from the warehouse door, which then slowly opened.
Lei Jin flinched. The phone slipped from his grasp and fell to the ground. He gripped the stick tightly with both hands. How could he have forgotten that there might be another killer? Otherwise, with the yellow-haired subordinate's abilities, how could he have brought him and the red-haired subordinate here?
At the same time, a sinister laugh, eerily unidentifiable as male or female, echoed, "Wonderful, truly wonderful! You actually killed each other!"
"Who are you?" Lei Jin looked towards the entrance, and to his horror, there was no one there.
Then how did the voice come from, and how did the door open?
"Who am I? I am a vengeful spirit!" the voice replied.
"Vengeful spirit?" Lei Jin was almost scared to death. "Are you Luo Yujiao's ghost? No, no, I didn't want to harm you. It wasn't me! It was my two subordinates. I, I've already killed them, and avenged you."
"You are the culprit!" This was a voice similar to Luo Yujiao's.
"You killed her, you are the culprit, we were just accessories!" Suddenly, the yellow-haired subordinate's voice echoed from behind him.
Lei Jin's scalp tingled with fear. He turned his head and saw that the yellow-haired subordinate, who had appeared to be stone-dead, suddenly sat up. His eyes were open, staring straight at him.
"Ah! No!" Lei Jin felt his heart stop. How could the yellow-haired subordinate, who had been dead for a long time, suddenly come back to life?
"It was you, you forced Luo Yujiao to her death, and you killed us too!" This was not the end. The red-haired subordinate also sat up abruptly. His head, smashed and bloody from the blows, looked even more hideous and terrifying in the flickering firelight.
Lei Jin felt his heart stop.
He let out a miserable scream and ran out. Not watching his step, he stumbled and fell to the ground, his head hitting a brick.
Blood flowed.
Lei Jin trembled all over, wanting to say something, but his lips quivered, and he couldn't utter a word.
Just then, a figure appeared before him.
Lei Jin looked at the figure, trembling at first, thinking it was a returning spirit. But in the firelight, as he recognized the person, he realized the figure bore a resemblance to the young man they had encountered when fleeing Luo Yujiao's home.
That's right, this young man was Yang Feilong.
"Remember, be a good person in your next life!" Yang Feilong's voice was cold and cruel.
"You..." Lei Jin opened his mouth, wanting to say something, but he felt his life draining away.
"It was me, I did everything, but you killed them all!" Yang Feilong looked at Lei Jin with a half-smile.
Lei Jin glanced not far away. In the firelight, Yellow Hair and Red Hair lay on the ground, motionless, as if everything he had seen before was an illusion.
That's right.
Yang Feilong had used his internal energy to briefly make the two of them sit up. This was not difficult. Of course, if their corpses had been dead for too long and had stiffened, such a maneuver would have been much harder.
"Why?" Lei Jin managed to ask. He was now in a state of "regeneration," his heart shattered. Unless Yang Feilong personally intervened, Lei Jin was doomed.
"Why? Because you almost killed my woman!" Yang Feilong said with a cold laugh.
"Your woman? Luo Yujiao?" Lei Jin finally understood. So Luo Yujiao was already taken. Wait, why did he say "almost"? Wasn't Luo Yujiao dead?
With her throat slit, how could she possibly survive?
"Don't worry, she's not dead. I saved her. Precisely because of this, I had to set up this trap to make you kill each other. This way, she would know of your deaths without knowing I was responsible and living in fear!" Yang Feilong sneered.
Lei Jin opened his mouth, wanting to say that if you save me, I'll give you all my money. But as his life ebbed away, he couldn't speak and could only beg for help with his eyes.
"You want me to save you? That's impossible. Just reincarnate and be a good person in your next life!" Yang Feilong said with a cold laugh. After saying this, he drifted away.
As Yang Feilong left, Lei Jin, having lost his last hope, breathed his last.
Thus, all three of them met their demise here.
