Starting as a War God: Global Goddesses Blocking my Door

Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh, whoosh—

At the same time, a large number of sedans approached from outside, and numerous members of the Su Family Direct Lineage alighted from the vehicles.

Since Elder Master Su, Su Xing, had woken up, the Su Family Members had refrained from visiting in recent days to allow him to recuperate properly.

Just moments ago, Old Lady Su sent a message saying that the elder had significantly improved, and everyone could come to visit.

Upon seeing the message, many members of the Su Family Direct Lineage drove over immediately.

"How could this be such a coincidence?"

Upon hearing Old Lady Su's summons, Ye Fan's expression changed.

Realizing the gravity of the situation, Su Ruoxue asked hastily, "Ye Fan, how is Grandfather doing?"

"Ruoxue, you need to prepare yourself mentally!" Ye Fan said with a grave expression.

Su Ruoxue nodded, "Ye Fan, just tell me."

She didn't urge to call emergency services because she knew Ye Fan was highly skilled in medicine. If something had happened to Elder Master Su and Ye Fan couldn't handle it, calling emergency services would be useless.

"Elder Master has passed away!" Ye Fan said solemnly.

"What? Grandfather has passed away?"

As soon as she heard this, Su Ruoxue felt as if she had been struck by lightning; she staggered and nearly collapsed to the ground.

"Impossible! Grandfather was fine just before; how could he pass away so suddenly? Ye Fan, are you sure there's no mistake?"

Su Ruoxue struggled to accept this fact; she couldn't believe that Elder Master Su had just passed away like that.

Ye Fan hadn't expected Elder Master Su to leave so suddenly either. He sighed and said, "Ruoxue, I know this is difficult for you, but this is the reality! However, what I can tell you is that the elder didn't pass away naturally, he was poisoned!"

"What? Grandfather was poisoned?" Su Ruoxue looked incredulous.

Under normal circumstances, hardly anyone visited the Su Family Ancestral Home, and only the closest family members could approach Elder Master Su.

Among all the close family members, who would poison the elder?

Ye Fan nodded and said, "Indeed! The elder was poisoned! Do you remember how Grandfather urged us to leave quickly before he died? What does that tell you? It indicates that Grandfather realized he was poisoned, and moreover, by someone very close to him—he couldn't name the person who poisoned him!"

"To avoid implicating us, that's why he rushed us to leave! Ruoxue, if I'm not mistaken, we've been set up! The elder's sudden death, with us at the scene, is tantamount to having mud smeared on our pants—it's not shit, but it might as well be!"

"Then... then what should we do?" Su Ruoxue asked nervously.

She was no fool; with just a few words from Ye Fan, she grasped the severity of the situation.

If they were caught by the Su Family Members, she would really have no way to explain herself; even if she were to leap into the Yellow River, she couldn't clear her name.

As the sound of footsteps outside grew closer, Ye Fan said with a grim expression, "They're already here; we can't escape now. We'll have to adapt to the situation when they arrive!"

"How could this happen?" Su Ruoxue's visage could not have looked worse.

In her wildest dreams, she never imagined that someone in the Su Family would dare to harm Elder Master Su so grievously, let alone that the true culprit would shift the blame onto her and Ye Fan.

"Dong Guo, are you feeling better? The Su Family Members and I have come to see you!"

Before long, Old Madam Su led the Su Family Members into the master bedroom.

"What... what happened here?"

As the Su Family Members entered the master bedroom and saw Elder Master Su, Su Dongguo, seated on the bed with blood trailing from the corner of his mouth, they were all stunned.

Old Lady Su, Su Tianhao, and Su Yue, however, showed no great shock upon seeing this scene.

They had anticipated Elder Master Su's death long ago.

But Su Tianhao feigned panic and said, "Grandfather, what's wrong with you? Grandfather, don't scare me like this!"

Whoosh—

As he spoke, Su Tianhao dashed forward in a swift motion, pretending to check Elder Master Su's breathing.

"Big brother, how is grandfather?" Su Yue asked, feigning concern.

During this time, Su Tianhao's acting had greatly improved. He collapsed on the ground as if all the strength had been drained from his body. With everyone watching, Su Tianhao's face turned ashen and he said, "Grandfather is dead, he's actually dead!"

"What? Elder Master Su is dead?"

Upon hearing this, the Su Family Direct Lineage members were instantly in an uproar.

"Dong Guo is dead? That's impossible!"

A few Su Family Elders quickly stepped forward and checked Su Dongguo's pulse, only to make the horrifying discovery that all signs of life had ceased.

"Dead? Is Dong Guo really dead?"

Confirming that Elder Master Su, Su Dongguo, had indeed passed away, the expressions of several Su Family Elders changed drastically.

"Dong Guo is dead?"

Upon hearing the news, Old Lady Su pretended to black out, nearly collapsing to the floor.

"Old Lady Su!"

Seeing Old Lady Su's body sway, a group of Su Family Members quickly came to her side to support her.

The next moment, Old Lady Su's eyes filled with rage as she demanded, "Ye Fan, Su Ruoxue, my husband was perfectly fine, how could he just die? You two better give me a satisfactory explanation!"

"That's right, Ye Fan, Su Ruoxue, speak up, is it you two who poisoned my grandfather?" Su Tianhao raged.

Su Yue also shouted, "Tell us the truth now or else you two will regret it!"

Under the cold stares of everyone, Su Ruoxue's face displayed utter panic, having not expected things to turn out this way.

Ye Fan, however, wore a grim expression, scanning the crowd of Su Family Members, determined to identify the real culprit among them.

"Su Ruoxue, as a member of the Su Family, tell us what exactly happened!" Old Lady Su demanded ferociously.

Utterly terrified, Su Ruoxue stammered, "Grandma, I really don't know why it turned out like this! Just now, I came with Ye Fan to visit grandfather, we fed him two mouthfuls of chicken soup, and then he collapsed to the ground, stopped breathing, and couldn't be revived!"

"Fed grandfather chicken soup?" Su Tianhao seemed to have latched onto some crucial evidence.

The next second, Su Tianhao turned his attention to the chicken soup, eyes nearly bursting with fury, "Everyone, the chicken soup is poisoned, the chicken soup is poisoned! It must be Su Ruoxue and Ye Fan, they couldn't stand grandfather and poisoned him to death!"

"That's right, it must be them! They poisoned grandfather!" Su Yue cried out, overwhelmed with sorrow.

"What? Su Ruoxue and Ye Fan poisoned Elder Master Su?"

Upon hearing this, the scene erupted into chaos, and some of the agitated Su Family Elders started cursing angrily.

"Scoundrels! You two scoundrels! Elder Master Su had just regained consciousness, why would you poison him?"

"Exactly! Why would you poison Elder Master Su? Especially you, Su Ruoxue. He treated you so well before, and even if you don't repay his kindness, how could you be so heartless as to poison him? Tell me, doesn't your conscience hurt?"

"Su Ruoxue, what exactly is your motive for this crime? If nothing went wrong, once Elder Master Su recovered, he would have definitely supported you as the head of the Su Family. Why would you strike him down? Tell us, why?" Discover hidden stories at My Virtual Library Empire

These Su Family Elders had grown up with Su Dongguo, and now they had to watch him be poisoned to death, each and every one of them distraught with grief.

Facing continuous accusations, Su Ruoxue staggered backward saying, "It wasn't me, I didn't kill grandfather!"

"Not you who killed my husband? Su Ruoxue, do you think we are all blind?" Old Lady Su shouted coldly in anger.

It was as if Ye Fan and Su Ruoxue had joined hands to poison Elder Master Su, a fact set in stone, leaving no room for the two to refute.
