Transmigrating into a Big Villain in the Book

Chapter 74: Promise to Find out the Truth

Translator: Storm in a Teacup

Qi Cheng sneered, “You can guarantee nothing! All of you deserve to die. If you die today, I will protect brother Qingye myself.”

“How can you protect him? It is a world which belongs to the king. Do you want to live such a life forever?” Ke Ruan said and panted for breath, “You can’t be so selfish. General Lin won’t be here with you. You should know it.”

“Shut up!” Qi Cheng’s face turned gloomy.

“Qi Cheng, I, Ke Ruan, swear to you that I will make the real murderer be executed and clear the Qi family’s name. If you don’t trust me, you can follow me. If I don’t keep my words, you can kill me at any time.”

Qi Cheng was stunned. During the moment he was in a daze, Ke Ruan got himself some time to have a break, and he didn’t forget to get himself a chance. “What I said is true. Follow me back to Red Flame Country. General Lin and I will help you find out the truth and let your brothers have a legitimate identity.”

“You don’t want them to hide in the Qiao Mountain like this for the rest of their lives. This is not realistic at all, you should understand it.”

Qi Cheng looked at him coldly. Although his eyes were still full of killing intentions, his movements had stopped.

“How can I be sure if what you said is true or false?” Qi Cheng looked at Ke Ruan and sneered. His hand which was holding the sword tightened again, making Ke Ruan nervous.

Ke Ruan didn’t have much energy now. He couldn’t fight anymore.

“You convinced me now but you can kill all of us when we leave the Qiao Mountain.”

Ke Ruan shook his head and answered, “No, I won’t. I’m not that kind of person.”

His gaze was sincere. “Even if you don’t trust me, you still need to trust General Lin. If I really want to kill you, he will never agree.”

Qi Cheng’s eyes softened. Ke Ruan was right. His brother Qingye would not let him die. Qi Cheng had heard about what happened back then and his brother Lin never gave up looking for him.

“Give me a chance and also give yourself and all brothers in the Qiao Mountain a chance. They can have a better life.” Ke Ruan’s eyes fell on Qi Cheng.

“My lord, none of the officials are good, especially people from the royal family.” One of the men suddenly shouted with his eyes turning red showing the determination that he wanted to kill Ke Ruan.

Ke Ruan’s face froze. ‘Oh man. Qi Cheng is about to be convinced. Why are you making troubles here?’

“I didn’t tell any lie. I swear to god!”

“I don’t believe that you will be so kind.” The man kept staring at Ke Ruan with his red eyes. He wished he could tear Ke Ruan into pieces.

Ke Ruan felt that man’s anger.

He felt that this guy must have more hatred for him.

Qi Cheng’s cold gaze fell on Ke Ruan and pointed to the person who said something just now. “Do you know who he is?”

Ke Ruan was speechless.

Of course he didn’t know that guy!

“Well, how can you, a supercilious person, know people like him?”

Ke Ruan was so wronged. The Ke Ruan in the past was supercilious, but not the one he was now. Now not only did he have to deal with the mess left by Ke Ruan before, but also had to deal with the mess his dad made. Was there anyone who was even unluckier than him?

“His father and my father are good friends. They were also implicated because of having the same political opinion. Apart from the Qi family who were all executed, his family were banished and would never be employed. His parents died on the way because they were unable to adapt to a remote environment.”

Ke Ruan pursed his lips thinking that it seemed that the Qi family was not the only one who was involved in this matter.
