Chapter 566: Fight.Vige head Gu turned silent she knew that she wouldn''t be able to escape responsibility this time, so she swallowed her words with which she was scolding Mother Qui and then immediately said, " What do you mean by this? As you can see the corpses that are lined in thendslides are not a month or two older, they are older than more than a year. How was I supposed to deal with something like this? It''s clearly the fault of the previous vige head, she didn''t take care of the vige and didn''t see that someone was actually harming mers like this, why are you ming me for something that wasn''t in my control? As I was newly appointed, I too was getting to know everything wasn''t I?"
She knew that she wouldn''t be able to escape responsibility this time, which was why she deliberately pulled the previous vige head who was responsible for creating a lot of trouble in the vige. After all, she was not lying, if not for Vige head Mu who did not pay attention to the missing mers, this matter would have never escted to this point. If she was taking care of the mers properly and knew what she was doing then she would have known that the mers were getting kidnapped and killed.
When Yu Dong came to tell her about this matter, she thought that the woman was deliberately trying to find fault with her and that was why she didn''t take her seriously, who would have thought that the matter would be so serious and thene to bite her in the ass like this?
Vige head Gu was smart but Mother Qui wasn''t a novice yer who didn''t know anything. She understood that Vige head Gu was trying to shirk responsibility by digging a pit for the previous vige head at once, after all, there was no way possible for her to drag the previous vige head who has left the vige for so long back to the vige and ask her to take care of this matter was there?
Telling her that it was the fault of the previous vige head was simr to asking her to revive her dead son! The previous vige head left the vige for more than six months and no one knows where she went, from where will she find the previous vige head and then ask her to deal with this matter huh?
" Do not try to shirk responsibility, Vige head Gu!" Mother Qui shouted at her as she pointed a finger at the woman and red at her. " If you have told me earlier that something like this was happening then I would have certainly never done anything as stupid as ignoring the matter of my son leaving home and never trying to find him——"
" Enough, is this the time for you two to fight like this?" Yu Dong snapped at Mother Qui and the vige head Gu, they were fighting like this in front of a pile of corpses were they serious? " This is not the time for you to fight like a bunch of children, instead of yelling and screaming like this why don''t you twoe up with a solution and look for the person who is behind these killings? If we keep fighting like this then I am sure that the killer will only take advantage of this situation"
Silence fell between them.
The vige head sighed heavily as she ced her hands on her face and then dragged them down as she nodded and said, " Yu Dong is right, this is not the time for us to fight like this, we should be taking care of what is happening around the vige first. Madam Qui, go and call the women of the vige here so that we can discuss what is going on and what should we do…" she turned to the corpses that were piled in the corner and then sneered coldly, " Those women who have deliberately hidden the news wouldn''t be able to escape my wrath, how dare they hide the fact that the mers of their family are missing!"
Vige head Gu wasn''t going to be the least bit forgiving towards these families who kept mum despite her asking again and again whether someone from their family was missing!
" Oh, I understand," Mother Qui replied but as she turned to look at the corpse of her son, she was reminded of how Yu Dong used to tease him when she was not sober as she was now and her gaze instinctively turned to Yu Dong who raised her brow and then sneered coldly. " Don''t even think about it, right now I am more than capable of taking care of myself and my family. If I wanted to build a harem with all the mers in the vige by taking them as my husbands, I assure you that I don''t need to threaten them, they will agree to marry me without me even asking them."
Yu Dong''s words were vulgar but they were true every mer in the vige was attracted to her now, if she wanted to then she can take any mer as her husband as long as she was willing. She doesn''t need to physically torment a mer or kill them for something as simple as that.
" Don''t go around looking at Yu Dong like that," Vige head Gu needed Yu Dong''s help so she was willing to support Yu Dong against Mother Qui and what was more she knew that Yu Dong was not the one behind these killings, after all, she didn''t have the reason to do something like this and everyone knew just how much she cared about the mers. " If she was the one who was behind the killings then she wouldn''t have brought me here to show this piece of evidence, don''t go act suspicious of her."
Then she turned to look at Yu Dong and said, " Yu Dong while you are here please help me question the women of the vige, I am sure they will create trouble as soon as I ask them about this incident."
