Chapter 197: #197 - Exposure

The old factory director's name was Sun Miao, and he was a native of Hanhai City.

Born into a shipbuilding family, he followed his family to learn shipbuilding from a young age.

Both his shipbuilding talent and his cultivation talent were excellent. At the age of thirty, he took over the shipyard. In just a few decades, he expanded the family's shipyard into the number one shipyard in Hanhai City.

In general, Sun Miao had an enviable life.

Although he suffered from physical illness in his later years, Sun Miao didn't care at all. The only thing he was concerned about was the future of his disciples and grandchildren.

Now that Jiang Jun, the youngest, had also begun to get on the right track, Sun Miao's heart was completely at ease.

Overjoyed, Sun Miao ignored his physical condition and laughed loudly.

Seeing Sun Miao laughing, Su Li, who was sitting beside him, quickly stood up, gently stroked Sun Miao's back with his hand, and嘱咐 with concern, "Master, I know you are very happy, but you still need to pay attention to your health."

Seeing Su Li's hypocritical and false face, the anger in Jiang Jun's heart grew even stronger.

Just a few days ago, Sun Miao had secretly praised Su Li for being considerate.

"Junior brother, sit down quickly. I think you haven't eaten yet. Sit down and eat together."

Su Li's smile was gentle, and he looked like the perfect senior brother.

"Okay."

Jiang Jun sat down and picked up Sun Miao's lunch box on the table and began to eat it in big gulps.

"I'm starving. They say the richer you are, the more stingy you become. We talked all morning and they didn't even give me food."

Jiang Jun's sudden action caused Su Li's hand, which was gently patting Sun Miao's back, to pause for a moment.

More than eating, he was immersed in the harmonious atmosphere of brotherly respect before him.

Jiang Jun seemed like a starving ghost who had been hungry for several years, and he stuffed all the remaining half-box of food into his stomach.

Then, patting his stomach, he comfortably lay on the sofa and exclaimed, "Full, full."

Seeing Jiang Jun finish all the food, Su Li sighed helplessly, "I really can't do anything with you."

Saying that, he got up, picked up the empty lunch box, and walked towards the door.

"Master, you can eat mine first. I'll go get some more."

After speaking, Su Li walked out of the room with the empty lunch box.

When the sound of footsteps gradually faded away, Jiang Jun's expression became serious. He first signaled Sun Miao to be quiet.

Then, he tiptoed to the door, put his ear close, and after confirming that Su Li had left far enough, he hurriedly walked towards Sun Miao.

Sun Miao looked at Jiang Jun's suspicious behavior with a puzzled expression, but he still cooperated.

Jiang Jun walked to Sun Miao's front, looked at his wrinkled face, and said softly with pity:

"Master, please remain calm after listening.

You are poisoned, and the person who poisoned you is likely to be Su Li."

Sun Miao's breathing paused. First, he was silent for a moment, and then he chuckled.

But after laughing, Sun Miao's pupils visibly trembled.

The intense emotional fluctuations in a short period of time caused his qi and blood to surge, and he felt a sharp pain in his chest, and he couldn't help but cough violently.

Jiang Jun was anxious, but he still maintained a trace of calm.

He took out the small pottery bottle that Quan Yue gave him from his chest, opened the mouth of the bottle, and carefully poured out a tiny pill from it.

The pill was made by rubbing the decocted medicinal mud into a round ball, which was dark black in color.

Jiang Jun handed the pill in his hand to Sun Miao's eyes, wanting him to take it.

Sun Miao hesitated for a moment, but he still opened his mouth and swallowed the pill.

After taking the pill, Sun Miao's coughing did not stop, and Jiang Jun could only anxiously pat his back to help his master smooth his breath.

Sun Miao had also lived for most of his life and had seen great storms. After a while, he adjusted his emotions.

"Who gave you this news? Is it credible?"

Jiang Jun didn't say it, but he nodded very solemnly.

Sun Miao sighed in the next moment, and his straight back bent a little.

His face also aged several years in an instant.

Jiang Jun's eyes suddenly turned red. It was the first time he had seen Sun Miao's so weak expression.

All along, even in times of illness and weakness, he had not seen such a fragile expression on Sun Miao.

What Sun Miao valued most was his family, and now hearing the news of Su Li's betrayal, the blow to Sun Miao was undoubtedly huge.

However, Jiang Jun had to tell Sun Miao about this as soon as possible, otherwise, he would not be able to stop Su Li's conspiracy by himself.

"Master, what should we do next? Should we subdue Su Li first?"

Jiang Jun asked anxiously.

Sun Miao's spirit was still a little weak, but he straightened his bent back again, and a cold light bloomed in his eyes, and said: "Don't worry, you just need to act as usual later, and I'll take care of the rest."

Jiang Jun nodded, and then returned to his seat, putting on a lazy expression.

Time slowly passed, and the atmosphere in the room was as silent as a pool of stagnant water.

Finally, after a while, the sound of footsteps began to come from outside the door.

Su Li walked into the room with a lunch box containing food and smiled: "Master, look, fortunately I went in time, otherwise, you wouldn't be able to eat your favorite sea fish soup."

Su Li put the lunch box in front of Sun Miao, and sat down again opposite Jiang Jun.

Sun Miao looked at the sea fish soup in the lunch box, but did not show his usual excitement.

He pushed the lunch box to Su Li and said, "I've already eaten enough today. Let's split this sea fish soup in half. I remember you liked to drink sea fish soup when you were a kid."

Su Li was a little stunned, but he immediately refused: "It's enough for me to eat the leftovers. I specially brought this to you because I saw you coughing. Don't waste it."

Sun Miao was completely disheartened now.

He snorted coldly at Su Li: "Humph! How come I didn't notice your sinister intentions? You actually dared to kill me, your master. You are really audacious!"

Sun Miao questioned Su Li angrily.

Su Li was startled by the sudden cold snort, but he still plausibly denied with an innocent expression: "Master, what are you talking about? Why are you suddenly so angry."

Then, he turned his gaze to Jiang Jun on the side, and pointed his finger at him and said: "Is it this kid who told you something? Master, no matter what this kid says, it's because he is jealous of me, his senior brother, and wants to frame me, that's why he said it."

Once Sun Miao's filter of love for his disciple disappeared, the various details that he had unconsciously filtered out in the past became clearly visible.

Su Li's lies were completely undisguised in his eyes.

Moreover, Su Li's despicable act of framing his junior brother even when he was about to die made Sun Miao completely recognize Su Li's true colors.

"Pa!"

He angrily slapped the table hard, directly breaking the thick wooden table in two.

"You still dare to quibble. Today, I will teach you a lesson, you rebellious disciple."

Saying that, a log-colored wooden mallet appeared in Sun Miao's hand.

And, seven bright soul rings appeared behind him.
