Are you stupid? I am the villain behind the scenes

"Qi Ce, do you have anything else to defend yourself?"

Li Qingchi angrily slammed the table again, making a deafening sound, and shouted at the same time.

Qi Ce knelt on the ground, but he knelt straight, with a blank expression on his face: "I have nothing to say."

At this point, if he still doesn't realize that he is being used, then he is a fool!

It was obvious that this matter was set up by someone deliberately so that he could take the blame!

Since he has been tricked, any explanation and defense will be futile and a waste of words.

"Nothing to say?" Hearing this, Li Qingchi's face became even colder. He snorted and asked, "Are you admitting that you did it?"

Qi Ce sneered and retorted, "What difference does it make whether I admit it or not? Haven't you already determined that it was me who did it?"

At this time, Qi Man, who was standing by, could no longer suppress her inner anger and shouted angrily, "What kind of attitude is this! You did something wrong and you don't admit your guilt immediately. Who are you trying to show off to by pretending to be so noble?"

However, Qi Ce did not back down. Instead, he shouted back emotionally: "Isn't it because of you and your Qi family that I have become like this? This is what your Qi family owes me!"

Qi Man was stunned for a moment. She never expected that Qi Ce, who was always docile and timid, would dare to speak to her so loudly.

After Qi Ce finished shouting, he felt a burst of joy in his heart.

For so many years, he has never been able to escape the shadow cast by the Qi family.

Once, he naively thought that as long as he escaped from the Qi family, he would be able to get rid of their oppression, but the reality was far from that. They still refused to let him go and chased him to the Spiritual Medicine Alliance to threaten him to give them the spiritual medicine. If he refused, they would spread his identity as an illegitimate child everywhere.

In fact, only the Qi family and a few other people knew that Qi Ce was an illegitimate child.

No one in the Spiritual Medical Alliance knew about this, so Qi Ce was very scared. He was afraid that if the people in the Spiritual Medical Alliance knew that he was an illegitimate child, they would look down on him and alienate him.

He didn't dare to gamble, so he could only submit to them and steal the medicine and give it to them every month.

This kind of coerced life lasted for decades, until ten years ago, when Qi Ce became the deputy leader of the Spiritual Medicine Alliance and his status rose, and they stopped exploiting and oppressing him.

However, this did not dissipate Qi Ce's resentment, but instead made it even stronger.

He hated the Qi family for making him live such a humble life. He clearly had Qi family blood in his veins, so why should he be oppressed and looked down upon?

So he decided to take revenge on the Qi family. He wanted to return all the oppression he had suffered for nearly fifty years!

As for the dead boy in the secret room, it was indeed his hand that killed him.

It was he who fed the boy poison and used him to test the properties of the newly developed poison.

He was studying a poison that was colorless, odorless, and undetectable after ingestion.

This was something he had specially prepared for the Qi family, because he wanted everyone in the Qi family to die!

Since this was Qi Ce's private research, he could not test the medicine on people from the Spiritual Medicine Alliance to avoid arousing suspicion, so he could only capture people from outside.

Three days ago, he accidentally met the young man from the Song family outside. At that time, the young man looked like he had escaped from somewhere in a hurry, and his breath was extremely weak.

At that time, he was angry about the Song family's cancellation of the engagement, so without thinking, he knocked the boy unconscious, secretly took him back to the secret room, and force-fed him poison.

However, Qi Ce was not satisfied with the result. Although the person was poisoned to death, the effect did not meet his expectations - traces of poisoning could still be clearly detected.

Now he regretted a lot, not because he regretted testing the poison on the Song family's people, but because he regretted why he did not dispose of the bodies decisively, but instead left them in the secret room, where they were used by others and turned into a sharp blade to stab him.

It was his negligence, so he admitted it.

Qi Man took a while to come back to her senses and asked angrily: "What do you mean? Explain it to me clearly! What do you mean it's because of my Qi family that I asked you to take those children away?!"

Qi Man didn't understand the hatred in Qi Ce's words at all. Although she looked down on Qi Ce, she had never bullied him in any way. She just ignored him.

She was also unaware that someone in the Qi family was threatening Qi Ce. Those people were secretly bullying Qi Ce behind her back...

However, Qi Ce stopped talking. No matter how angry Qi Man was, he kept his lips tightly shut and said nothing.

"That's enough, Qi Man." Li Qingchi on the side couldn't help but speak up, saying majestically, "Since Qi Ce has admitted his crime, we should discuss how to punish him."

"What suggestions do you have?"

Moni was the first to respond. She said indignantly, "He has killed so many innocent teenagers. If he is not executed immediately to pay for his life, should we let him continue to kill people?"

Qi Man's chest heaved with anger. She angrily agreed, "I agree with Chief Moni's proposal!"

Song Guwei also shouted excitedly: "That's right! Kill him directly, otherwise so many of my Song family's children will die in vain!"

These three obviously wanted Qi Ce to pay with his life, but there were three others who held different opinions.

Wu Yongfu calmly said: "I think we should slow down a bit and investigate the cause of the incident carefully so as not to wrongly accuse anyone."

Shen Lingtan nodded: "What the Wu Meng said makes sense. Let's detain him first and observe for a while to see if he has other accomplices."

Qu Xingshu considered it from another perspective: "Vice-Union Leader Qi is an excellent doctor. If he dies like this, it will undoubtedly be a great loss to us. After all, he has saved many people. It can be said that his merits and demerits offset each other. It is better to keep him alive."

As a result, a three-on-three stalemate situation was formed on the scene, with each side insisting on its own opinion and refusing to give in.

Li Qingchi thought for a moment, then said slowly: "President Qu is right."

At this time, only the last person had not expressed his opinion, and everyone else's eyes were cast on the masked man sitting in the high seat.

Facing so many stares, the man's body seemed to tremble slightly, but he quickly regained his composure and said, "I agree to be detained."

In conclusion, five out of the eight people tended not to execute Qi Ce directly.

So, Li Qingchi announced loudly: "Then lock Qi Ce up first, and then decide how to deal with him later."

Then, he turned to look at Qu Xingshu, "The specific matters of detention will be handed over to the Inspectorate."

Qu Xingshu immediately responded, "Yes."

When hearing the result of his trial, Qi Ce remained expressionless from beginning to end, as if the person being discussed and judged was not him at all.

Finally, Qi Ce was taken away by the Inspectorate.
