He s Actually A Sexy Girl? I Erected!

Chapter 409: 【409】Such cunning is a pity not to act in ‘The Legend of Zhen Huan’ _1
 

Shi Jingpeng’s state of mind was completely different from the others.

Others were more astonished by Tang Feng’s methods.

But he, he was angry, nothing but angry.

He had just pleaded so earnestly, painstakingly explaining the importance of that pocket watch to him, short of kneeling and kowtowing.

Yet his own niece had been watching coldly from the sidelines, not uttering a single word.

Now that Tang Feng had exposed the truth in public, she finally admitted that she had taken the watch.

If it weren’t for Tang Feng, wouldn’t she have stood by and watched him die?

This anger filled his heart, causing his whole body to tremble.

“Big brother, I’m sorry, it’s my fault for not raising my daughter well, I apologize to you on her behalf,” Shi Jinghe sensed his older brother’s anger and hurriedly came over to apologize.

Shi Jingpeng glanced at his brother, and ultimately suppressed his rage.

After all, Shi Lin was his brother’s daughter, and he really didn’t want to fall out with his relatives over such a trivial matter.

With that thought, he took a deep breath and forced a smile, “It’s okay, kids will be kids, maybe she just did it for fun.”

After finishing, he smiled at Shi Lin, “Lin, if you like pocket watches, your uncle will get you a better one later. But this one is really important to me, please give it back to me quickly.”

Shi Lin returned her focus to the mobile game, remarking lightly, “It’s broken.”

Shi Jingpeng felt a bit light-headed, barely calming down, “Broken… how did it break?”

Shi Lin nudged her lips towards her brother Shi Hao, “He broke it. Don’t believe me? Ask him.”

Shi Jingpeng anxiously looked at little Shi Hao, “Hao Hao, is what your sister said true? Did you really break the watch?”

His voice began to shake.

This watch was tied to his life and wealth; if it was truly damaged, he was left with no choice but death.

Shi Hao, looking terrified, hid behind their mother, “I… I thought it was edible, so I bit it a few times and… and broke it…”

“Even if it’s broken, it’s okay, just give the broken watch to me, and I will have it repaired,” Shi Jingpeng still held onto a sliver of hope.

“It was… thrown away.”

“Where did you throw it?”

“The trash. The garbage truck took it away…”

As Shi Jingpeng heard this, his vision darkened and he fell backward.

Shi Jinghe, with quick reflexes, hurriedly caught him, “Big brother, are you alright?”

The others in the living room gathered around anxiously, looking at Shi Jingpeng with concern.

Shi Jingpeng looked blankly at the ceiling, “Heaven wants to destroy me, this is heaven wanting to destroy me…”

Shi Jinghe was instantly filled with guilt, “Big brother, I’m really sorry, I… I didn’t expect these two little beasts to do such a thing.”

Wang Jingmei also spoke up hastily, “Big brother, don’t panic, what exactly has happened? Tell us, and we can think of a solution together. I have quite a few connections, perhaps I can help?”

“No use. I’ve already thought of every solution. There’s only this way left,” Shi Jingpeng already looked ashen, “Without that pocket watch, I have only one path left—death.”

Everyone was at a loss for words.

As the director of Zhonghai TV, even he was out of options, which indicated how critical the situation was.

Seeing his daughter still engrossed in her game, Shi Jinghe’s anger erupted, and he moved to hit her, “You wretched thing, you’ve caused your uncle such harm and you feel no guilt, just self-contentment?”

Wang Jingmei hurriedly blocked him, “Why hit your daughter? It wasn’t intentional.”

Although everyone was angry, they had to admit she was right.

Though Shi Lin had secretly taken the pocket watch, her behavior was extremely reprehensible.

But when she took it, she truly did not know the importance of that pocket watch.

Scolding her now would not help the situation.

“Who says it wasn’t intentional?”

At that moment, Tang Feng spoke again, drawing everyone’s attention back to him.

Everyone looked at him with puzzled expressions.

“Mr. Tang, what… what do you mean?” Shi Jingpeng also finally revived a bit, looking at Tang Feng with confusion.

“If she took it unintentionally at first, but now continues to lie, then it’s intentional,” Tang Feng stared at Shi Lin unblinkingly.

Although she was still looking down at her game, he noticed that her expression had become slightly panicked.

Shi Jingpeng grabbed Tang Feng’s arm as if it was a lifeline, “Lying? You mean… the pocket watch… is still with her?”

“Exactly,” Tang Feng nodded.

“But… but Hao Hao just said that he chewed on the watch, and then threw it away,” Shi Jingpeng, afraid of another false hope, looked at Tang Feng anxiously.

“I have to say, your niece indeed has a deep mind. She probably gave her brother a fake watch to play with on purpose, so that he would take the blame for her. Tsk tsk tsk, such schemes, what a waste not to star in ‘Empresses in the Palace’.”

Tang Feng looked at the scheming girl before him and couldn’t help but admire her cunning.

“Nonsense, my daughter has no schemes. What evidence do you have? On what basis do you say that?” Wang Jingmei, like a mother bear protecting her cub, shielded her daughter and roared at Tang Feng.

It was clear she was agitated, her saliva spraying onto Tang Feng’s face.

But it’s understandable, as no one would want to admit their daughter was deep in scheme.

Moreover, her precious daughter was only seventeen or eighteen years old.

Tang Feng didn’t bother with Wang Jingmei, instead he looked at Shi Lin with a smile, “Are you going to confess on your own, or shall I do it for you?”

By then, Shi Lin’s eyes were red, and tears were swirling in her sockets, “I don’t understand what you’re saying. The pocket watch was really ruined and thrown away by my brother. Even if you beat me to death, I couldn’t reproduce it.”

There was no denying that her acting skills were quite impressive.

Putting on such a pitiable facade at this moment still had quite the deceptive effect.

If Tang Feng didn’t have a scanning system, he might have actually believed her lies.
