After inspection, this powder was exactly the same as the poison Nie Liang had been poisoned with in his early years!
Not only was Nie Liang unable to accept this result, even Wei Yong felt it was too absurd.
How old was Nie Yang when Nie Liang was poisoned?
He was at most ten years old, a child, what ability did he have to do it so flawlessly?
If Nie Liang had not been careful enough to investigate Nie Yang, he would not have been able to discover that hidden compartment, much less find the culprit behind the poisoning.
Even if Nie Yang was not the real culprit, he could not escape being involved in the poisoning.
Nie Liang laughed self-deprecatingly, the corners of his lips curling into a mocking smile.
"Hunting wild geese all day, only to be pecked blind by the geese. To think that I prided myself on being smart, yet I was schemed against by a junior, truly laughable … "
Ever since Nie Liang found out that he had been poisoned, he had re-screened the people around him and secretly sent people to investigate the poisoning.
However, no matter how he investigated, he could not find the culprit. Following the clues he had, he would only find a few uncles in the end. However, Nie Liang knew that although these uncles had the motive to poison him, they did not have the time to act.
Therefore, the person who harmed him was still hiding behind the scenes.
Nie Liang had never let down his guard, who knew that a new clue would appear and he would be caught off guard.
Nie Yang was younger than Nie Qing, so why would Nie Liang suspect him?
After discovering that there was something wrong with Nie Yang, Nie Liang did not get rid of him immediately. Firstly, he was worried about his son Nie Qing, secondly … he felt that Nie Yang was really strange, and it was not good to alert the enemy before figuring it out. Thirdly … being schemed against, he had to collect some interest.
Nie Liang planned to push the blame of killing an elder of the same clan onto Nie Yang to clear his suspicions.
This way, his son Nie Qing could see this person's true face.
Wei Yong said, "I really don't know how he could have so many schemes at such a young age, he's even more shrewd than an old fox."
The moment those greedy and ambitious old foxes of the Nie clan heard that Nie Liang was dead, they could not hold back their ambitions. They never thought that Nie Yang would be able to suppress his nature. To be able to do this, either Nie Yang was innocent and they suspected that he had been mistaken, or Nie Yang's mind was so deep that ordinary people could not deal with him, or … could Nie Yang have already guessed that Lord Nie Liang was not dead?
Wei Yong voiced out his conjecture. Nie Liang said, "What's the point of investigating this now? My body can't hold on for more than a few days, I really have the heart but not the strength … Nie Yang is indeed very scheming, it's a pity … otherwise he could be Qing-er's right-hand man … "
Nie Liang was quite satisfied with his son, except for one thing — Nie Qing was too pure and kind. This kind of personality was nothing in a flourishing age. Nie Liang could protect him to become a noble son of a landowning family. But now it was troubled times. Even with Wei Dan and the others assisting him, Nie Liang was still worried.
If it wasn't for the fact that he was too pure and easy to bully, Nie Yang wouldn't have had the chance to get close to him. Now, their relationship was so good that it was as if Jiao could never leave Meng, and Meng could never leave Jiao.
Since he was sure that Nie Yang was a hidden danger, Nie Liang planned to secretly send people to get rid of him.
He wouldn't be able to see these things, but Wei Yong would help him achieve them, and the ending would be similar.
Wei Yong said, "This kind of person cannot be left for long. It's best to eradicate him as soon as possible."
Whether it was Nie Liang or Wei Yong, they were both cautious people, not to mention that Nie Liang was' already dead '. Logically, other than them, no one else knew about this conversation, but they didn't know that Nie Yang's ability was close to that of a 'spiritual monster', and couldn't be measured with common sense.
Nie Yang knew that Nie Liang wasn't dead, so he didn't dare to let his guard down, and often let the System keep an eye on him.
Of course, this conversation was heard by Nie Yang as well.
The System sneered, [Now you know the difference between you and Nie Liang, right? If I didn't help you, you wouldn't even know how you died.]
Nie Yang's face was hidden in the shadows, but his eyes shot out a cold light, and his murderous intent spilled everywhere.
The System said relentlessly, [If I didn't help you, you wouldn't have been able to poison Nie Liang. Even if you succeeded, you would have been easily caught by him. If I didn't help you, you wouldn't have been able to restrain your ambitions when Nie Liang faked his death, and he could have gotten rid of you. If I didn't help you … Now you wouldn't even know that Nie Liang already had murderous intent towards you, and was prepared to use you before sending someone to kill you. You still don't dare to admit it? You're just a mortal, no matter how scheming you are, you can't compare to my ability!]
Nie Yang's previous attempt to turn the tables had made the System extremely annoyed, and now it was going all out to attack him.
The System also knew that Nie Yang was scheming, but no matter how scheming he was, if he didn't have the ability to realize it, it would just be a joke.
Taking advantage of this, the System wanted Nie Yang to completely understand his own weight, so that he would obediently surrender and not challenge the System's authority.
[This is a death trap, you'll die if you're not careful, and Nie Qing won't be able to protect you. If he finds out that you're the real murderer of his father, do you think your brotherly relationship with Nie Qing will matter? Now, the only person you can rely on is me.]
The System laughed maliciously, like a demon whispering in Nie Yang's ear, tempting him to fall deeper into the abyss.
After a while, Nie Yang laughed foolishly, his expression was still cold, but his eyes were filled with madness and murderous intent.
[Rely on you?] Nie Yang couldn't help but laugh, and he said, [Nie Liang wants to kill me, are you some kind of saint?]
Until now, he could not forget the lightning torture the System gave him, where he could neither live nor die.
With the System's attitude, how could Nie Yang believe that it was kind to him? From Nie Yang's perspective, the System was also an evil spirit, hiding in the dark and plotting something. When the System achieved its goal, he, Nie Yang, might end up worse than death.
The System laughed sinisterly, [I can at least let you live for a few days, you don't want to die without tasting power, do you?]
It had been bound to Nie Yang for so many years, it knew very well about Nie Yang's obsession with power, almost to the point of being possessed.
Nie Yang was silent for a long time after listening to the System. As he struggled in his heart, his young face became twisted and sinister.
The System laughed, [Have you thought it through?]
Nie Yang asked it, [Do you have a way to turn the tables?]
Nie Liang and Wei Si started to suspect Nie Yang, Nie Yang didn't think that he could turn the tables, this was a dead end.
The System said, [Yes, of course. The person who's going to die is' Nie Yang 'anyway, what if you're not' Nie Yang '?]
Nie Yang frowned, he didn't know what sinister trick the System had come up with.
[You mean … you want me to disguise myself as someone else and find a substitute to die for me? That's not easy …]
Wei Si and the others weren't familiar with him, they could find someone who looked 70 or 80% similar to him to fool them, but Nie Qing would definitely be able to recognize him.
Unless the System had the ability to find someone who looked exactly like him, with the exact same height and body shape.
[As expected of a mortal's thinking, the System is omnipotent. Back then, I could secretly poison you, so naturally, I have the ability to help you out of danger. Speaking of which, if it wasn't for you acting smart and keeping a tail on me, Nie Liang wouldn't have suspected you even if he died.] The System sneered, [I have something in my hands that can perfectly turn you into someone else, and at the same time, make someone else perfectly turn into you. With your rotten heart, you should be able to understand what I mean, right?]
