The Amazing Son-in-Law [The Charismatic Charlie Wade] (Chinese name) Chapter: 6889

Charlie Wade’s teasing made Li Yalin smile. “At first, I thought you were really going to give Wu Shuhang a Reshaping Pill for free, and I felt a bit sorry for him. But now it looks like the pill really helped Wu Feiyan. That’s great news, but Wu Shuhang didn’t gain anything from it.”

Charlie nodded. “Elixirs are valuable, but if they work as intended, they’re worth the cost.”

Li Yalin added, “Wu Shuhang is really unfortunate. He lost three hands in a row.”

Charlie smiled and said, “The Wu family, protected by Wu Feiyan, has done many bad things and supported tyranny. Their survival today is due to countless soldiers and knights who have suffered because of the Po Qing Society. Everyone has their sins, so cutting off Wu Shuhang’s hand is actually a mercy.”

Then Charlie continued, “Actually, I gave him a hand and then took one away. It’s fair. If he wants to blame anyone, it should be Wu Feiyan.”

Li Yalin chuckled. “You’re right. I bet he blames Wu Feiyan more than you.”

Curious, Li Yalin asked Charlie, “By the way, Mr. Ye, how did you come up with this idea? How did you know Wu Feiyan would cut off Wu Shuhang’s left hand again? If it were me, I probably wouldn’t do that. Cutting off his left hand once was his punishment. He accepted it then. If someone gave him the elixir and helped his hand grow back, I don’t see why anyone would want to cut it off again.”

“become a fait accompli, it will not only show my fairness and justice, but it will also make my enemy lose a pill for nothing. However, if I cut off his hand again, wouldn’t I just be falling into my opponent’s trap?”

Charlie Wade smiled and replied, “Detective Li, I mentioned giving Wu Feiyan eye drops to humiliate her with this pill. Even though she has led the Po Qing Society, her thinking is still stuck in the past, like the feudal monarchs of the Ming Dynasty. Those monarchs, whether wise or foolish, shared one trait—they couldn’t stand being humiliated. For example, King Zhu Di of Yan was a wise ruler, but he wouldn’t tolerate disrespect and was willing to eliminate ten other clans for it. Wu Feiyan will lose face if Wu Shuhang walks around without his left hand. She knows I want to humiliate her with this pill, but she’s stuck.”

Charlie sighed and continued, “Honestly, I hope Wu Feiyan doesn’t cut off his left hand. If she doesn’t, the core members of the Po Qing Society will realize that their mysterious enemy has the Reshaping Pill. This powerful elixir will make them more cautious of me, and it will shake their confidence in Wu Feiyan.”

Li Yalin thought for a moment, then nodded slightly. “I hadn’t considered that angle. It seems my criminal investigation perspective is a bit limited.”

Charlie replied, “Every skill has its specialization, which is why a team needs a variety of experts to work together. If Wu Feiyan had a detective as skilled as you, Detective Li, she would likely know who I am by now.”

Li Yalin nodded and smiled. “What you said makes sense, and it’s true that the underlying logic of the…”

Qinghui realized that finding true high-end talent was hard for them. Besides the people who were controlled and enslaved, most of the members were from the Wu family. Those who were enslaved had to be careful and, no matter how much they disliked the Wu family, they wouldn’t fully commit to working for her. If the Wu family could develop top talents, that would be great. If not, they would be left with a team that was just starting from scratch.

Charlie Wade smiled and said, “Just look at the late Qing Dynasty. The royal nobles and the Eight Banners lived in luxury for hundreds of years. Who would be able to hold things together when the building starts to crumble? If it weren’t for four key figures in the late Qing Dynasty who helped the Qing court survive, the royal nobles would have already returned to their homes outside the borders. And those four important figures were all Han Chinese. If Wu Feiyan keeps playing favorites in the future, she might end up causing even more chaos. Back then, there were still four heroes to support the Qing Dynasty, but she doesn’t even have one.”

Li Yalin asked, “Is Miss Song considered a genius? Didn’t you say her talent is far beyond that of ordinary people?”

Charlie Wade replied, “Song Ruyu does have talent that stands out. It’s impressive how strong she is at such a young age. But from what I know about her so far, she’s just a general. Even if I hadn’t caught her, she wouldn’t be able to achieve much in the future. The Po Qing Association needs more than someone who can fight right now. They need a modern thinker to help them improve overall.”

After saying this, Charlie Wade added:

“By the way, Wu Shuhang is strong enough that losing both hands isn’t life-threatening. So, he likely won’t need to go to the hospital, and he probably won’t dare to go there openly. Detective Li thinks this could be the reason.”

Li Yalin thought for a moment and said, “After the issue with the Reshaping Pill, Wu Shuhang is fully exposed. If he goes to the hospital, it won’t matter whether he tries to hide it or not.”

Li Yalin continued, “I also think he must be scared that you might give him another Reshaping Pill. In murder cases, especially those with strange motives and methods, we worry that there could be another murder before we solve the first one. Unlike robbery or kidnapping, where the targets can be random, murders with unknown motives are more concerning. If Wu Shuhang is involved, he would definitely be afraid of you punishing him the same way again. This time, he might end up losing both hands again. The lesson he’s learned is that he never wants to face the Reshaping Pill again. Hiding in the hospital would make everyone aware of his condition, and I doubt you would give him any more pills.”

Charlie Wade nodded and said, “That makes sense. But it also shows that he has no value to Poqinghui. They know he’s exposed and can’t kill him, nor can he return to the Right Army Governor’s Mansion. Going to the hospital would just be a temporary fix for him.”

Li Yalin turned to Charlie Wade and asked, “Mr. Ye, do you believe Wu Shuhang still holds any value?”
